ed Ancillary Receiver
and Will Continue
Business.

Hartford, Aug. 14.-The failure of the
& pc Manufacturing company, which
b announced to-day, caused one of
biggest surprises in the industrial
mercantile world that this city has
bwn for some time. The whole city
more or less shocked as result of
company going into the hands Of
ancillary receiver, but 1t is not
ught that the big industry will be
ected by the action of the court to-
#'he probabilities are, according to
ceiver Albert L. Pope, that the bust
ss will be continued and that the 700
more hands employed by the COM
Sny here will not have to look for 9TH
positions. Mr.. Pope stated this af-
noon that the company employs in
about 1000 hands in it's various
Ents. He said that the company has
\ pie assets to meet the claims against
and that the only reason to-day's
zion was taken was to protect the
Editors and stockholders.
BNhen asked to make statement
Earding the financial condition of the
|npany, Mr.. Pope said it was entirely
Il early to do so. He said, however,
1T he did not think the lab. lities would
Elount to over S1,5O0,0OO and the as
rs of the company he could not esti-
kte. The present condition of the
bney market, Mr.. Pope said was res
|nsible for the step taken to-day, the
inks refusing to make further loans
the company. The pressing Of a
i'm by the McManus- Kelly company
Toledo hastened the proceeding
alich was ancillary to the appointment
a receiver in New Jersey yesterday
4 August 2S, a hearing for the con-
Hnation of the appointment of tenn,
zrary receiver will be held. Mr.. Pope s
lnds are fixed at 100000 and he is au-
lorized to borrow to the extent OF

BEAUTY CAUSES TROUBLE
PRETTY WOMAN WAS ARRESTED
TWICE VICTIM OF MIS-
TAKEN IDENTITY.

A striking likeness to Grace O'Gara,
a very pretty but naughty Tacoma
girl has been the cause of considerable
trouble to Mrs. L. 3. Smith who. with
her husband, arrived here from the
Sound on Wednesday evening and reg
istered az the Bartholet hotel, says the
Yakima Republic.
On telegraphic advices from Chief
MaloLey, of the Tacoma police, the
young woman was arrested Thursday
morning by the sheriff and taken to the
county Jail where she was held until
evening. Last night Officer Clancy, of
the Tacoma police, reached the city
and on seeing the prisoner at once de-
clared she was not the girl wanted.
Mrs. Smith was then released.
Mrs. Smith is strikingly pretty
young woman of fair complexion and
her description almost exactly TALES
with that sent here from Tacoma. Dep
uty. Sheriff Cox knew of her expected.

good look at her. Then he saw her
and her husband go to the hotel and.
returned to his Office where he had
telephone converse ion with Chief Ma
loney. The latter or. hearing Mr.. Cox's
description of Mrs Smith, declared she
certainly was the girl wanted on a
robbery charge, and asked that she be
arrested without delay. However, the
officers here were satisfied thai the
young woman would be at the hotel in
the morning and allowed her a COM
Portable nights sleep.
In the morning, at 9 o'clock, they
went to the hotel and on knocking on
the door of the room which the couple
occupied, Mrs. Smith put her head out
to see what was the matter On being
informed of the mission of the officers
she protested that she was not Grace
O'Gara; but of course, this was not be-
dress and eat breakfast and was then
incarcerated in the big apartment on
the top floor of the Hotel Edwards re-
served for the use of the SheriffS fem
mime guests.
Poor Mrs Smith repeatedly explained
that there was a mistake somewhere,
but it was mo CO. She had to stay
When Clancy arrived in the evening he
was quite surprised to learn that a
mistake had ACQUIRED, but he was en-
phatic in declaring that Mrs. Smith
was not Grace O'Gara. So the young
woman was returned to her husband
with the expression Of many regrets on
Senalf of the officers.
Mrs Smith says that nearly the same
thing happened at EllenSburg. where
Sheriff Crowley took her off the train
but was finally persuaded that she was
not the girl wanted in Tacoma and al
lowed her to resume her journey.
This certainly is case in which mis-
taken identity caused considerable
trouble.

DECISION AGAINST The CITY
SUPREME COURT PASSES ON
CASE AFFECTING PRICE OF
GAS At CHICAGO.

Washington, Feb. 5.-Justice Day Of
the supreme court of the United
States has announced the opinion OF
that court in the case of the city of
Chicago vs. Darius 0. Mills, which
was adverse to the city's contentious.
The case involved the Chicago city
ordinance fixing the price Of gas at Is
cents per 1000 cubic feet. Mills is a
stakeholder of the Peoples Gas COM
pany Of that city. He resides in Cali
fornia and advantage was taken of
that circumstance to bring the suit in
the federal courts. He began proceed
ings in the district court for the
Northern district of Illinois asking for
an injunction to prohibit the enforce.
ment of the ordinance and the prayer
was granted, the city Immediately ap-
pealing to the supreme court. The
principal question at issue was the
lack Of jurisdiction on the part Of the
federal courts and the city charged
that the suit by Mills had been insti-
tuted in collusion with the company,
the local citizenship Of the company
admittedly depriving the national
courts of jurisdiction. The district
court failed to find evidence of such
collision. and on the merits of the
case granted the injunction. The SUI
preme court sustained the course by
affirming the decision. 1t was made
to appear from the citys pleading in
the case that since 1900, when the
ordinance was enacted, the company
had collected at the rate Of 81 per
1000 feet, thus securing an aggregate
Of $12,000,00O in excess Of the total
that would have been obtained under
the rates of the ordinance
Chief Justice Fuller and Justice
Harlan dissented from the opinion.
