HOPELESS TIDINCS
FROM ILL-FATED
SHIP ON ROCKS
RECEIVER TAKES
LEIGHTON ASSES1
Arthur P, Hardy Is Named by Judge
Lawton in Superior Court, on Peti-
tion Brought by Olive E, Davies.

Boston JAM 24.--~Arthur P, Hardy has
been appointed receiver of the assets
Of the II. r, Leighton Company, stock
brokers, in this state, with authority to
bring suit to reach the proceeds Of Jo-
seph e. Doucette, stock broker, on a
proposed sale Of the latter's seat in the
Boston Stock Exchange, and apply them
in payment of debt he is alleged to owe
the III. Il. Leighton Company, by Judge
Lawton in the superior court Monday.
The receiyership of the Ii. r. Leighton
Company was asked for BY Olive M.
Davies, creditor Of the H. Il. Leighton
Company, in supplemental oih she
brought claiming that bankruptcy .e-
ceiver appointed for the H. r. Leighton
Company by the West Virginia federal
court, had no jurisdiction to bring such
suit here to enforce the payment against
Doucette Of the alleged debt he owes the
concern, out of the proceeds OF his stock
exchange seat, which she says is worth
between $4,000 and $4,000. She has
filed an appearance by counsel III the
bankruptcy proceeding against the H. r.
Leighton Company IN West Nlrglnia,
claiming that that court has no juris.
diction to adiudicate the concern bank.
rupt, upon the ground that it is not a
trading concern, but was engaged in an
Illegal bucket shop business and should
be taken in hand by the state court here,
Opposition was made TO her applica-
tion for a receiver upon the ground that
the bankruptcy receiver had been here
and taken possession of all the H. r,
Leighton Company's assets and would,
no doubt. take measures in the Doucette
matter if satisfied there was sufficient
grouad for it, However, she claimed
there was need for expedition in the
matter, as the seat will be sold in less
than a week, and that while she believed
the bankruptcy receiver had no power
to sue, slio felt he also showed no dis.
position to do so.

Pieces At Any Minute
Urgent Messages ReceiV-
ed From the Helpless Pas
SengerS.

Victoria, B. c., Jan 24.--Early this
morning a message was received from
Cape Beale, near which point the ILL
fated steamer Valencia lies on the rocks,
a hopeless wreck, that the southerly
gale had increased in force and that
there il little hope that any of the hum
dred persons who are supposed to be on
board can be saved. The steamer
Queen and the wrecking steamer Salyor,
arc both at the scene, making every ef-
fort to save the people oa board. The
steamer is on the rocks against a high
cliff, and is likely to 60 to pieces at
any time.
One boats crew reached Cape Beale
at o'clock yesterday afternoon, and
nine men got ashore near the telegraph
hut about fifteen miles from the light
house. Two men arc prisoners on the
face of the ciiT near where the steamer
went ashore and cannot get off the cliff
or return to the wreck The sea prob
ably will reach them when the tide Is
high. The men report some painful
scenes. One woman dropped her child
into the sea when trying TO hand it TO
her husband, who was in ono OF the
boats. When the boats left, there was
little hoy running about the deck cry
ing for his mother, who was among the
drowned.
TIE steamer Queen which arrived here
at / o'clock from San Francisco, landed
her passengers and left at once for the
scene Of the wreck. Urgent messages
are being received for assistance.
The meteorological station reports
that 4 gale has been in progress on the
island coast in the vicinity of tho wreck
for two days, Reports from the mouth
Of the Columbia river yesterday after
noon state that the wind was blowing
ffty miles m hour. OF Vancouver is
land velocity OF forty miles an hour
was reported. a tremendous surf
sweeps in on the rockbounl shore near
Cape Beale during heavy weather.
'In the absence OF information said
Captain Gau.i:n "it IS difficult to con-
lecture what took the steamer from her
course but in ny opinion the strong
southeast early gale Blowing at The rate
Of fifty miles an hour and the great cur
rent which sweep toward the coast were
responsible for driving the steamer from
her course"

ARE WOMEN POLITE
TO EACH OTHER
BY ELLA X. DEARBORN

not 1t has been said that women
are not polite to each other, and
that when woman wants a friend
she must go to a man. A decade
or more ago that may have been
probably was-true, but it is not
true today.
BY far the greater majority of
women are capable of entertaining,
for each other, lasting friendships,
staunch and loyal In business
way, they are shrewd and alert,
but withal. honest. They are broad
minded and close mouthed. One
talented woman is proud to be a
friend of another gifted woman;
jealouses are forgotten in genuine
and justifiable admiration for each
other.
To the strange woman they are
most courteous and polite, as you
may see If you are observing.
In the street car, women give
their seats to older women, or
even older men; woman with a
baby gets seat, and it is not al
ways a man that gives it to her.
A woman will help a burdened
woman from the street car, while
the conductor locks on.
The hotbed of gossip is in the
shops that give employment to
many men.
Women are too busy doing real
things to notice or care what their
neighbors are about.
These women who admire WON
en- are not perverts, but intelligent
women who are broad minded
enough to recognize the good quail
ties in their own sex, and just
enough to give due credit to their
talented friends.

was there that Roosevelt formed
his high estimate of Meyer.
The things most readily learned
about q. V. l.. Meyer are that he
is very rich, but democratic in his
tastes and manners. Further than
this he Is gentleman in poll
tics" just as Senator Lodge is a
scholar in politics" In fact,
Lodge is Meyers sponsor and in
spiration. He suggested to
Meyer that he quit loafng and do
his duty in Boston as Roosevelt
was doing his in New YorR-that
he get out and become ward poll
tician and get elected to the COM
mon council.
So Meyer did, and served from
1889 to 1890. going from there to
the board Of aldermen, and so up
to the state legislature, where he
served four years. two of them as
speaker. Then, in 1899, Lodge re-
warded him by making him his
personal representative on the re-
publican national committee. The
following year President McKin-
ley appointed him ambassador to
Italy. Later on Roosevelt sent him
to St. Petersburg.

FORMER QUEEN OF THE STAGE
NOW A FAMOUS HORSEW0MAN

LEXINGTON, KY, Nov. 9.-Miss
Charlotte Crabtree, who, as Lolita"
once charmed thousands of Ameri-
f., can theatergoers annually, is now
one Of the most successful horse
owners in the United States, and
as a winner on the grand circuit
the past season she even outclass-
ed the men.
The success Of the Crabtree sta
BILE Is direct result of the per-
son energy displayed by the noted
woman in locking after her horses.
Her fondness for the dumb 'brutes
and their fondness for her has
been the secret.
Although it is estimated that
Miss Crabtree Is worth close to
100000, this did not prevent her
from going down the grand circuit
with her horses and attending to
their every want the same as
though they were children. This
demonstration of womanly kind
ness produced wonderful results.
In the noted gelding Nutboy,
star of the Crabtree stables and
the largest money winning horse
of the year, Miss Crabtree found
compensation for all the care she
had taken. Nutboy was consider
ed the most dangerous horse that
ever raced in harness when he be-
came hr proprty. This horse had
won thousands of dollars on the
track. but was considered so err
ratio and ungovernable that he
changed hands frequently. 1t was
sometimes necessary to drive him
into a building in order to stop
him. Nutboy is now considere
one Of the most docile animals
alive.
The power exercised over her
horses by the former actress Is
