LOOPHOLE FOR SULLY
COTTON HUNGER MAY BE YET
 PROVED SOLVENT.
This VIII Be Ruling should It Be De- eided That Exchange Transac- tiOns Are Gambling-Mr.
 COxe's OpiniOn.

New York. April 2o-MacGrane Coxe. referee in bankruptcy in the Daniel '. Sully case, today sent to Judge Holt of the United States District Court, sn opinion which, if approved by the court. will reopen the Sully case en- tirely and bring up for adjudication several important and almost sensa- tional points. The opinion is given upon the application of two sets of petitions. one from Edwin Hawley ap1 Frank H. Ray who have been sued by Sully's trustees in bankruptcy for cer- tain sums alleged to have been lost through participation with Suliy in al- legged cotton pools and the others from creditors who are not members or the cotton exchange. Three questions were brought up:
 First, whether s1.OOO. 900 paid on Saturday, March IS, 1904. was a pref erence and. If so. illegal; second. whether the Fridays prices or Satur- days prices should determine the amount the Sully estate owes; and, third. whether transactions on the cot- ton exchange are gambling transac- tions. The opinion of the referee Is that the case should De reopened. If Judge Holt decides in favor of this 1t would reopen the whole question and if the claims are decided it will make an immense difference in the amounts due. If 1t Is proved that cotton Cx- change transactions are gambling transactions Sully is solvent and will not owe cent.
 Referee Coxe in his report said: T think that the petitioners have a di- rect pecuniary interest in showing if they can that upon a proper determi- nation of the law and the facts thero would be sufficient assets in the estate to preclude any right to recovery against them and this Is the only pro- eeeding in which such a determina- ton can be had and That they must therefore be held to be parties with in- terest within the meaning of the bank duptcy act.
 Large sums of money 1t is alleged were paid by the bankrupts oy way of margins within four months and with in a very few days of the bankruptcy and 1t is not unreasonable that credi- tors who have not received such sums should desire to examine into the facts with view to ascertaining whether such payments have not been such as are given as preferential payments under the bankruptcy act. It does not seem to me inequitab1e to permit a Ju- dictal investigation into this matter"
 The referee then quoted the rule of the New York Stock Exchange, which provides that when a member an- nounces his inability to meet his obli- gations, his contracts shall be settled at the average quotations for like con tracts on that basis, unless the notice of failure Is given within an hour of thal ltinsof thA GloAinK of the exchange,
The Montgomery advertiser., 1905-04-21

in which case the average quotation fer contracts on the subsequent day shaii be the basis of settlement. Tn referee says the trustee in bankruptc and opposing creditors aver that tn Sully notice of suspension was give after p. m., while the petitioners on the other hand claim the notice was given before p. m. Referee Cox adds:
 "The petitioners ask to be permit ted to attack the legality of the rule and also to show that even under the rule the average price at which these cotton contracts should be settled should really be the average price of Friday. The average price of Friday was very much lower than the aver age price of Saturday. The bankrupt had on hand large amount of cotton against the contractors. If therefore they were to liquidate these contracts at the higher price for the cotton on March IS 1t would follow that there would be much less money owing by them, If anything, than would be owing by them if the settlement were made on the average price of Saturday, March 19.
 Tt is manifest that under this rule tremendous power Is given to the superintendent of the exchange. It seems to me that such a rule. fraught with such important consequences to so many people, if it Is to be Tnain- tained at all should be maintained on a strict compliance with it's terms. and that petitioners here have an equitable right to be heard to show if they can that it has not been compiled with and that by such non-compliance their property rights have been detrimentaI- Iy affected.
 Counsel for the trustee argues that the only statements In the petition which touched upon the illegality of the exchange claims and the question of wagering are made on information and belief and therefore should not ba For the reasons stated am forced to the conclusion that tha petitioners here are entitled to tha relief they ask"

 Although the theatrical season is drawing to a close Selma will be ade- Quately entertained this summer. and persons who stay in the city instead of seeking the refreshing ozone of the coast will be able to mingle pleasure with business.
 Besides a number of amateur the atrical entertainments that are sched- uled for the early days of the sum mer, a number of entertainers of na- tional repute will come to Selma un- der the auspices of one or more soci- cities and the Young Mems Christian Association.
 The first of these will be Captain Richmond Pearson Hobson, who mas entered the political arena. Captain Hobson has agreed to lecture here May under the auspices of the Young Mems Christian Association and the proceeds will go to replenishing and building up the Association library.
 Captain Hobson was in Selma about two months ago when he spoke to the congregation of the Church Street Methodist Church. He has many friends in Selma and his next visit will be welcomed. It is not known what the Hero of the Merrimac" will speak about.
 Col. r. M. Abbott the head of the Selma Street Railway, Is developing both the city park and Elkdale, and by the time the summer season is on full-fledged both of those public places will afford many attractions to the weary business man and his family. One of the innovations Colonel Abbott will introduce will be skating rinks both at the pavilion and the park, and as that sport has become such 'craZe" in this city its devotees will be delighted with the arrangement of the railway company.
