costs on the petitioners.
Judge 5radford's Opinion.
The following is the decision:
An involuntary petition in bank
ruptcy containing the proper aver
-ments and in due form was filed March
&c, 1904. by ne Supplee Hardware Com
pany, Samuel NJ. Mallaleu and the
Champion Manufacturing Company
against Louisa S. Lewis. on the same
day a receiver Of the estate Of the al
legged bankrupt was appointed who has
since qualified and entered into pos
! session thereof. Process was issued
pursuant to the prayer Of the petition
and was served March 2S. Two of the
three petitioning creditors. namely,
the Supplee Hardware Company and
Mallalieu, have this day filed a petit
ton praying that the petition in in
voluntary bankruptcy IN which they
Joined, and the proceedings thereon,
be dismissed. and that notice be given
to the creditors as provided by the
bankruptcy law" On the presentation
Of this petition i'm open court the Cham
pion Manufacturing Company the re-
naming original petitioner, through its
counsel, objected TO the granting of the
ease In bankruptcy should not be ar
rested. There are several independent
objections fatal to the granting Of the
PRAYER of the petition for dismissal. L,
is Unnecessary. however, to consider in
! this opinion more than one. The petit
: tion wholly fails to state any ground
justifying dismissal as prayed.
The sole reason assigned is that youl
petitioners desire and consent that sait
petition and proceedings be dismissed
such a reason is palpably insufficient
even were there no other objections "a
the granting Of the prayer for dismiss
sak The petition does not show how
a dismissal could enure to the general
. benefit Of the creditors. nor. indeed
, does It aver that 1t would be of such
benefit. To dismiss the proceedings in
bankruptcy on the ground alleged
would establish a harmful precedent
In the language employed in another
connection by Judge Blodgett in the
z case of In re Heffron, Fed. Case No
. 6S2l, decided under the bankruptcy aci
5 OF 1867, 1T would lead to underhand
: and secret negotiations between the
b debtor and portion Of his creditors
and be strong incentive for showing
favors to a few creditors at the ex.
pense of the many"
Therefore, If it be assumed that tn,
petition for dismissal has not beer
prematurely presented, no list. of cred
tors having been filed in the case. an,
II 1t be further assumed that the cour
: could properly order dismissal of tn,
l proceedings In bankruptcy on The an
plication Of two OF the original peti
TONERS against the protest of the third
and if it be further assumed that tn
prayer for dismissal sufficiently dis
l. closes an existing pecuniary interest OF
J. the part Of the Supplee Hardware Com
n pany and Mallalieu. or either OF them
e In the subject to which it relates, tn
a court would still be obliged to deny tn

WAGES THE SAME
Unhappy State of Affairs
Which Confronts Working
People of Today
NO INCREASE IN Salaries
But Rents, Food, Fuel, Clothing and
Furniture For the Home Are All
More Expensive Than Five Years
Ago.

The cost Of hving now Is nearly twenty
five per cent. higher than 1t was five years
ago. This is a startling state Of affairs.
but that II is true a careful investigation
into the subject shows. Wages have not
correspondingiy increased.
The investigation was conducted along
the line Of the relative cost OF rent, food,
clothing, fuel and house furnishing at
present and that of five years ago. This
Information was derived from real estate
firms. coal dealers, grocers, and mer-
chants.
The average family allows one-fourth
OF one-fiftn of its annual income for rent.
An advance in rent necessarily means
that the family must live In a cheaper
house or retrench along some other line,
The advance IN rents seems te be con.
fined chiefly to smaller houses which
bring from SIC to $50 month. Despite th'
large number OF NEW houses which hav,
been built. the supply is unequal to the
demand

Food More Expensive.

Wheat flour. from which bread IS made.
is one OF the most important staples In
the family food supply. The advance in
price has been marked and there is no
economy in using bakers bread instead Of
the homemade article.
Probably there has been less change in
the prices Of groceries than along any
other line Of family supplies. Retail prices
Of tea and coffee are practically un-
changed, while sugar IS five per cent.
cheaper. Butter and eggs vary according
to the season OF the year. Such changes
which have occurred in canned goods arc
due to the brands and methods Of pack
ing. Prices in breakfast cereals are un.
changed.
! Vegetables and fruits cost more. Natur
ally these arc higher IN the winter, sprin,
and fall months than in the summer bu
there have been exceptional cases thl
winter. as in the case Of cabbage whicl
has been sold by the pound instead Of b.
the head, as customary. The scarcity O
potatoes has caused their price 10 increas,
and so it has been the case in many othe
