WAGGAMAh CASE AGAIN.
Effort Is Made to Secure Sale of Wood.
ley Park.

Washington, August 22-Attorneys for
II. Roster Dulaney, trustee in bank
ruptcy for Thomas E. waggaman, who
was treasurer of the Catholic university
until his failure about year ago. today
filed in the District supreme court a bill
in equity against Waggaman and John
Ridout, trustees. The proceeding is
brought with view to secure a sale Of
what is known as the Woodley park in
which Waggaman had one of his largest
interests, and the distribution of the
money among his creditors and set aside
as preference under the bankruptcy law
the deed of trust obtained from Wagga-
man by the Catholic university in July,
1904, a few weeks prior to his failure.
Seventy-five persons are named as de-
fendents In the bill. The validity of the
trust to the Catholic university amount
ing approximately to $4,000, is challeng-
ed In the bill on the ground that 1t Is
preference under the bankruptcy laws
The university had reasonable ground
to believe when the trust was obtained
that a preference was intended.
The claim Is made that the Woodley
park proprietors were worth sl,2O0,O00
against which, according to the attorneys
for Trustee Dulaney there are filed liens
to the extent of $360.000, leaving an equi-
ty in the property of about $4,000. IL
the deed to the university is set aside
the attorneys say, the trustees In bank
ruptcy should recover about 100000 for
the sale of the property, and for distri-
button among secured creditors.
It is understood the university will Wig
orously resist the efforts to vacate the
trust.

do so by the state authorities. and DR..

The management of the New Orleans
baseball club does not expect that any
of the clubs in the Southern league Will
have to take advantage of the protection
offered by the National commission. The
New Orleans games have been transfer
red to Atlanta and the Shreveport games
to Chattanooga. 1t is not anticipated
that there will be any further interior
ence with the new schedule. The New Or
leans players are being kept on the rolls
at their full salaries in spite of the heavy
losses that the management is suffering
and all of them will remain with the ciup
until the season closes.
Some surprise is expressed here at the
announcement from Jackson that the fever
at Mississippi City has been declared
epidemic 1t is not believed that the,
number OF cases reported from there is
sufficient to cause alarm, and owing TO
the mildness of the type the local author
tiles see no reason why 1t should not be
held In check Meantime the appearance
of the fever on the coast has not had
the effect of bringing any New Orleans
people summering there back to the city.
Inquiry at the railroad offices and at the
offices of the marine hospital service snow
that comparatively few health certa-

who were alarmed over the situation and
