CROCK[R SECURES
RARE STAMPS.

The. schedule of debts of Makins &
Co, dealers in postal stamps, was
filed in the United States District Court
yesterday and exhibits some interest
ing facts concerning the business of
buying and selling rare stamps. The
company was forced into bankruptcy
some weeks ago by it's creditors. The
liabilities are $32,420 and the assets
are valued at s27.211. The heaviest
creditor is the Italian American Bank
of this city, which has claim against
the bankrupt for $4,000 for money
lent on an unsecured note. j. w. Mil
lar of Brush, Colo, is creditor for
s9,35e.
Among the cases in action is a bal
ance of s7741, which is described in
the schedule as follows: Nine thou
sand dollars worth of postage stamps
left with the American National Bank
of San Francisco to secure payment of
a promissory note and interest thereon
on which Henry J. Crocker had in
without any notice whatever Crocker
paid $3.50. the balance on. the note,
together with the interest, and took
the postage stamps which had been de-
posted as collateral When Makins &
Co called at the bank to pay
the balance on the note and TO demand
the return of the stamps they were
informed that Crocker had The stamps
and that the incident was closed so far
as the bank was concerned.
So the stamp dealers charge Croker
in their schedule with s7741.4o, the
balance alleged to- be due on the
pawned stamps. They also have a
claim against him for $4,000, alleged to
be due for stamps sold and delivered to
him within the past two years, making
a total of S9741.40 as the cost for
Crocker's penchant for philately.
The stock in trade of the bankrupt
is given as of probable catalogue value
of $4,000, but of the estimated cash
market value of $4,000.

Scotts statement, and asked him II the

girl class, to which Scott did. not re-

Sugar Industry the Back
bone of British Guiana.

TIE Governor of British Guiana
stated in London recently that
the sugar industry must be re-
garded as the backbone of the
colony, and that until the natives gave
continuous labor the immigration of
East Indians must continue.
Referring to small holdings, he
pointed out that the acquisition of land
under the present regulations was by
no means costly matter; homestead
Of five acres could be obtained for
$3.50, and 100 acres for $3.50. such
charges being sufficient only to cover
the expense to which the Government
was put In respect to surveying the
land, etc.
Referring to minor industries, the
Governor said that the number of in
dustries which could be undertaken
was dependent on the population, and
that the population at the present time
was roughly estimated at 100000, of
which number 10000 were resident on
the sugar estates, and that the rice in
dustry, which had an assured future
absorbed a large number and would
absorb still more. as II was developing
very rapidly. The cultivation of cot
ton had not been overlooked 1t had
unfortunately been proved that Sea
Island cotton was not a commodity
which could be satisfactorily grown in
British Guiana as in other places, but
every attention was being turned to
the possibility of cultivating other
kinds.

REFUGEES ARE TRESPASSERs.
Asked as to whether the time could
not be extended for the refugees to
occupy the parks, Lloyd refused to
commit himself. saying that the refu-
gees are considered in the light of
trespassers and the Park Commission
owed a duty to the public to clear the
parks at the earliest possible date.
Several of the women refugees pres
ent told of their experiences in secur-
ing relief from the corporation. Mrs.
Veronica Boyce. who has an Invalid
son, said she had bought a lot at Ingle-
side for $50, all the money she pos
sessed in the world. and when she ap-
piled TO the Relief Corporation attaches
for money to buy lumber she was
turned down. Magee said that If Mrs.
Boyce would come to his office he
would attend to her case personally
Mrs. ]. C. Laster said she had been
elected from her cottage in Hamilton
Square and when she applied to Mr..
Dohrmann for relief he asked her to
produce her rent receipt.
