THE review by Judge Speer of the
case Of John Ellis, Jr., and McLaugh-
lin. Dean & Co., in which both Ell
lis and the firm had been adJudicated
bankrupt by Rereree Isaac In Bruins
wick. resulted this morning In de
cision that the referee had no right tc
adjudicate them bankrupt, the Judge
himself being in the division, at Saw
nnah. at the time.
The case originated when John
Ills, Jr., petitioned that he indivi
dually and the firm Of Mclaughlin
Deem G. Co., of which he was mem
Der, be adjudicated bankrupt. The
petition was granted by Referee Is
aac. Later came the petition for a
review Of the referees decision b.
A M. Mclaughlin and c. w. Deem
IN the meantime Ellis filed petition
for a temporary injunction, asking
that c. W. MeltonS and the Alma
Land and Improvement Company be
restrained from wasting the property
Of the bankrupt. A temporary re,
straining order was granted some
time since.
When the review came up this
morning 1t appeared that the partner.
ship owed debts amounting to $500
Judge Speer said 1t appeared that
Mclaughlin and Deem, while the firm
was insolvent, owned $250,000 worth
of property, and the court held that
as the individual assets we're sufficient
to pay the debts Of the firm, that the
partnership could not bS adjudicated
bankrupt. The temporary restrain
ing order was revoked.

The decision to rescind the call was

chief among whom were Governor
Harris and ArLnur l. Vorys, the man

opinion of Chairman Brown was that
inasmuch as the committee meeting
had been requested by Senator Dick
as an adjunct to the general confer

been cancelled by the parties who had
advocated dt there was no especial
need for the state central committee
to meet alone.
This decision was not entirely in
harmony with the opinions OF many
of the Taft following in various parts
Of the state, and throughout the day
telephone and telegraph messages
have poured upon Chairman Brown
and Mr.. Vorys urging that the meet

JUDGE n ]. COLSON
IS NQN> NEAR
TO DEATH
WELL KNOWN sRUNswlcKIAN
WAS REPORTED TO BE IN A DY.
ING CONDITION AT A LATE
HOUR LAST NIGHT.

The thousands of friends of Judge
Matthew j. GPlson will be grieved TO
learn that he is lying at the point of
death at his home on Mansfield
street Judge Colson has been very
Ill man for several months, suffering
from complication of maladles, su-
perinduced by weight of sixty odd
years. Several weeks ago his condi-
tlon became critical and much
against his wishes he was forced to
confinement in his room. From that
time up to the present he has grown
worse by degrees and for the last
few days has been practically in the
shadow of death. Attending physi-
clans last evening did not think LIE
could survive the long hours of the
night, but up to midnight, while in
a critical condition, he was still alive.
Than Judge Colson Brunswick has
had few more popular or prominent
men. His entire life was spent in the
hardware business in this city, years
.ago having founded the Colson Hard
ware Company, which continues to
be one of the most substantial bust
ness concerns In the city and which
ne managed up to few years since,
when failing health demanded his
retirement from active business
cares.
He has served the people of Bruins
wick and Glynn county in many po-
sitions Of trust, twice having been
mayor of the city, the latter of his
administration having given the peo-
pie of Brunswick the handsome city
3lty hall, one of the prettiest public
buildings in the state OF Georgia.
The members of the family, con-
5isting Of Mrs. Colson, his wife. and
col. j. T. Colson, his son, have the
5ympathy of large circle of friends
tho join The News in the hope that
Jetter tidipgs may come from the
SICK chamber this morning.

PLAN REORGANIZATION
Commercial Club Propose to
Add Social Features.
Hope to Secure Upper Floor of
Building on Northwest Corner
of Main and Wall Streets.

The Commercial Club held a special
meeting Friday of last week. 1t is pro-
posed to reOrganiZe the club, incorpOrat.
ing social and athletic features in con
nect;On with the main work for which it
is organized. By thus doing it will at
tract many people who would not other
wise attend it's meetings, besides filling a
void that has been felt in COlfax for a
long time. The plan, as outlined, is to
secure the entire upper floor Of the build
ing now undergoing reconstruction on
the northwest corner of MaiD and Wall
streets. 1t is not known at this writing
whether this can be done or not. Ii sue
cessful the plan is to secure a member
ship of at least $50, to charge an
initiation fee of $40 for admission and
to make the monthly dues 81. This will
provide $500 for furnishing the apart
ments in a suitable manner, and the
dues will provide $3.50 per month for
maintenance. 1t is proposed for the
present members OF the club to pay this
initiation the same as new ones being
admitted. The upper floor of the build
ing mentiO1 ed would be an ideal location
for the purpose and afford all the space
required. One large room would be
necessary for meetings, surrounded by
seats and provided with desks and
tables. Another room would be pro
vided with say two billiard tables and
other forms of innocent amusement as
the desire might dictate. such as chess,
etc. A reading room, where books,
magazines and papers could be found in
plenty is planned in connection; also
another room where athletics in a small
way could be INDUCED il, such as Indian
club swinging, dumb bell exercises, heavy
weight lifting, all of which would make
it an attractive place to visit, and add
to, rather than take away. from the
business side of the organization. This
plan is still in embryo, which may ma
terialize in whole or in part, but it is
