Hand-One Estate Loses s10o,0OO.s


Milwaukee, April 27.-The latest step
in the career of Frank G. Bigelow, for
merly president of the First National
bank Of Milwaukee, who defaulted for
81, $4,000, is the filing OF a petition in
voluntary bankruptcy. The revised
schedules show the total liabilities of
Mr.. Bigelow to be sSs277,O00, of which
s1,975,OOO is wholly or in part secured.
Of the remainder, $1,110O00 is a second
ary liability on notes and bills discount
ed, in which Bigelow figured as indors.
er. These items are notes of the Ma
tional Electric company, the Grand
Rapids Edison company, and S. W..
Watkins, ana are evidently connected
with the financing of the National Rlec-
trio company. The rest, $4,000, repre-
sents unsecured liabilities, the largest
one being an Indebtedness. of 100000 to
the Broadhead estate of which Bigslow
was executor.
The assets of the banker are estim-
ated at $1,S49,s00, against which a
homestead exemption of $4,000 is plac-
ed. The assets consist chiefly of stock
in various industrial and other enter
prises, life insurance and 1,600 acres Of
coal land in Colorado valued at $1,000
The schedule states that Bigelow has
no cash on hand.
Bigelow pursued startlingly loose
methods in the transaction of his pri.
vate business. He was not positive of
the names of several of his creditors
and had no memorandum with which to
refresh his memory. ,
Under the bankruptcy laws. the turn
ing over by Bigelow of SS00,0O0 worth
of property as a rastitutionary measure
to the bank is null and void, the trans
fers having been made within four
months of the filing of the petition in
bankruptcy This, however, will not af-
feet the bank, the directors having more
than made up the entire deficiency
caused by the dsfalcations Of the presi-
dent.
. Judge Land to-day appointed the
Wisconsin Trust and Security company
receiver of the bankrupt estate of Frank
G. Bigelow- This action was taken to.

about May s. ''
An evidence of the fact that the First
National bank is in a perfectly normal
condition was made to-day when it was
learned that the balance against the
bank in the clearing house to-day
amounted to only $4,000.

fairs in Washington Eiade it necessary
that the president curtail his visit.

cislon to return home on May 8.

the city to sell him this land, and it
was on account of this petition that the

erick of the board of finance increased
this offer to 5000 last evening, with the
proviso that the Consolidated railroad

Albany, April 27.-Agnew's bill to
make the term of the mayor of New
York four years instead Of two passed
the senate to-day, 26 to 16. Tanmany
voted for it. The opposition was only

argument for the bill was that it would
bring elections for mayor always just
after instead of just before a national
election.

Thanks to Mr.. Sellman.

Mr.. Editor II desire to thank Mr.. Sell
man for his answer to one of the questions
contained In my communication OF the 18th
instant.
1t seems that In 1909, Mr.. Sellman intro.
duced In the House Of Delegates, at the In.
stance OF the Anti-Saloon League, the bill
amending the local option law, TO make II
more effective, which bill was accompanied
by q petition of 1900 good citizens Of Mont.
gomery county, asking that 1t be enacted
into law
Did Mr.. Sellman act In good faith when
he introduced the bill, or was he trying to
fool somebody think the latter, because
surely had he been acting In good faith when
he found the bill was about TO pass the
House and go TO the Senate he would not
have prevented its passage by obtaining and
retaining the bill In his possession without
any manner of right. What was Mr.. Sell
mans motive for his conduct in this matter
That is the important question.
Prior to 1901 Mr.. Sellman and Senator
Jones were not political friends. In that
year they became and have since continued
political bed fellows.
Now, Mr.. Jones, before the bill was In
troduced in the House, had refused TO intro
duce it in the Senate, and had the bill passed
the House and reached the Senate he would
have been forced to show his hand. This
he did not want to do, and It seems his new
found friend, in order to protect the Senator
from an embarrassing situation, resorted 70
the extraordinary parliamentary methods Of
capturing the bill and keeping It In custody
until the legislature adjourned.
Mr.. Jones position at that time can be
well understood, when II Is recalled that hi!
nomination and election had been obtained
by the aid of the vote and influence OF thu
keeper Of every "speak-easy" in the county
nd that he then had the gubernatorial be-
buzzng In his DO met and he feared 4
take any action Gale ulsted to array the liquo
influence In the State against him.
The taxpayers of the county are very
\ anxious to know, and have right 70 know
where the money In excess of the amount
I raised by the authorized bond issue therefor
being used in erecting High Schools is CON.
ing from, and think it Is up 70 the Schoo
Board TO furnish this Information now.
1t does not, and there 10 any way for thu
writer TO obtain the information il will b
gotten and published. DEMOCRAT.
