TRUSTEES ELECTED FOR
THE CHANTLER COMPANY

Yesterday in the office Of Chester w.
Barrows. referee in bankruptcy there was
held the first meeting OF the creditors of
the Chantler Cloak Co. at which time the
account was gone over and Mr.. F. s.
Fidler OF East Greenwich was elected
trustee with bond nxed ar $500.
From the arguments OF the lawyers in
II would seem that the creditors will re-
ceive but a small dividend and the legal
battle will be OF interest The legal tan
gle arises over the fact that when the
flr.u went out OF business II made an as
slgnInent 10 Irving o. Hunt and following
this by q few days the creditors filed a
retltion in involuntary bankruptcy Mr..
Hunt was at this time engaged in selling
the stock OF the company and this was
continued without interference on the
part OF the creditors.
The contention over which there will
probably be litigation is a claim Of Mrs.
Lois Chantler, wife OF Thomas Chantler,
PRESIDENT OF the bankrupt firm. The basis
OF Mrs. Chantlers claim is mortgage
given her in guaranteeing the indebted
aess OF the firm 10 Blauner Brothers &
Co. Of New York city. When this mort
gage was given the Chantler Cloak and
Suit company owed the New York firm
about $1,000 II was said and Mrs. Chant
Ter Rad made good her guarantee 10 the
extent OF only a fraction OF the indebted
ness. Blauner Brothers & Co. proved a
cain yesterday OF sl2sl.76. and the
amount Mrs. Chantler claims under her
mortgage Is Si7i2.3S.
'rhe question 10 he determined later is
the legal status OF Mrs. Chantler's claim
under her mortgage. She contended
through her attorney that she had taken
possession OF the assets OF the firTn in the
store as mortgagee before the assignment.
and that the assignee acted as her agent
In selling ont the stock.
Should this view OF the situation hold
Mrs Chantler's contention Is that the
bankruptcy proceedings would not AFFECT
the priority of her claim. and she ought
to he paid in full out OF the assets. The
attorney for the other creditors argued
that as q matter of fact her mortgage
could not. be considered as a preferred
claim against the estate.
'rhe subject for consideration Will be
the question whether the trustee chosen
AT Yesterdays meeting is warranted In
taking the assets out OF the hands OF the
N ortsaGee's alleged agent, the assignee
In other words, whether Mr.. F1dler or Mr..
Hunt will have possession OF what money

Elmore A. Whitney, 3s years old. hav-

Whitney was about two years ago com

A few weeks ago he began 70 drink
heavily and continued his debauch until
about a week ago. when he suddenly
stopped taking liquor
He now became morose and dcspondent,
acting so strangely that his wife was on

20 make way with himself.

was poison and her precautions were
redoubed
Just before noon today he atealthily OBJ

Mrs. whitney becoming anlslous entered
the room and was horrifed to see that
what the child had taken to be red Ink
was her husbar i's blood which was flow
