CUTS IT DOWN.
Judge Amidon Allows Attorneys in
Tucker Case $500.

From $4,000 to $1,000 and then
later to $4,000, were the successive
steps taken in reducing the fee Of
Karnes, New & Krauthoff, attorneys OF
Kansas City, Mo-, and their associate
attorneys who acted as attorneys for
the petitioning creditors in the bank
ruptcy proceedings of the Uncle Sam
Oil company.
The first request of a $4,000 fee
was filed with Judge q. T. Hazen, spe-
cial referee, who cut the fee asked for
to $1,000 over the protests of H. H.
disallowed. Late yesterday afternoon
the fee was further reduced to $500
by Judge Charles F. Amidon in the
United States district court, to whom
Tucker had taken an appeal.
Judge Amidon stated that the bank
ruptcy proceedings while they had
been of considerable benefit to the
stockholders of the company, had fall
ed to better the creditors and as the
bankruptcy proceedings and the ser
vices Of the attorneys were supposed
to be directed to the betterment of tn e
claims of the creditors such had failed
of accomplishment in this instance.
Judge Amidon said: 1.-THE nature of
the services rendered. the time con-
sumed, the responsibility required. and
the result accomplished for the inter-
ests of the creditors must all be con-
sidered. In this case the services rem
| dered were the preparation and filing
of the several petitions. the obtaining
of receiver on an ex parte applica-
| ton, the trial of the motion to dismiss
which was tried before Judge Pollock
and the trial of the case on the merits
| of the petitions and the answer which
| was held before me. do not mitigate

filed serious insfnuations were cast or

neys were not present at the hearing
for business reasons, but to vindicate
themselves and refute these insinua-
tions. The estate can not be charged
for these features, but only for the
services rendered prior to the adjudi-
cation which were beneficial to the
estate, looked at as a business matter.
What were the effects of the adjudica-
ton?
1.-The bankruptcy action was in the
interest of the creditors. It seems now
that there have never been any serious
doubts that the creditors would be
paid in full. AS for the bond issue.
| have no doubt that any court in the
world would have protected the actual
creditors from these bonds. So the
creditors received doubtful benefits if
any benefit from the adjudication in
bankruptcy. Much weight has been
given to the arguments that the Uncle
Sam Oil company has received great
benefit There are just grounds for
believing such to be the case. How
ever, it is not part of the duty of a
bankruptcy court to protect the estate.
| that is to protect the debtors for the

COOPER TELLS REPORTER WHY
HE ACCOMPLISHES so MUCH

No man in recent years has been
more successful in restoring human
health than L. T. Cooper During
his stay in Chicago, and while he was
meeting thousands OF people daily he
gave the following reason for the re-
rnarkable demand for his medicine to
a reporter:
Mr.. Cooper said: MY New Discov-
cry is successful because it corrects
the stomach. My theory is that few
can be sick If the digestive apparatus
Is working properly. 1t naturally fol-
lows that few can be we'll with
poor digestion.
st know from experience that most
OF the tired, half-sick people that are
so common nowadays have half
sick stomachs. Put the stomach in
shape, and nature does the rest The
result is general good health. My
medicine does this. That Is why fifty
thousand people here in Chicago are
using 1t who never heard of me until
a month ago."
Among the fifty thousand mention
ed by Mr.. Cooper who used his medi-
cine in Chicago is Mrs. Hilda Pflueg-
er, living at 1908 Ainslie Avenue. This
Is the statement she makes concern

say through the columns OF your paper
that have been informed that an appli-
cation will be made To the Judge OF the

the road election TO be held on Nov. 7th
for the purpose OF bonding Chancellor
and CORTLAND districts for permanent
road Improvements. can see no reason
why the election should be held up The
court ordered the election at the 0c-
tober term, following the resolution OF
the Board of supervisors word for word.
At the time the board passed the resolu-
ton the matter was thoroughly discuss
ed by he members Of the board, who
were thoroughly acquainted with every
road In the county. Since the election
has hem ordered by the court under
stand that there IL little kicking In

Court House road to Massaponsx was
left out and that, therefore, the board
made "a mistake and the election should

There is little talk in CORTLAND that

Gays "the roads ora tn be 20 feet wide
aud under this the highway commission,
when plans aud specifications are pre-
pared, IL (the comnissioDl can then de-
eide the proper width, &c. for road bed.
A further objection made, that the order
should state the exact amount OF bonds
t he Issued; the order says that the
bond issue to be asked for Is to be TO the
extent OF 10 per cent. of the taxable val-
ues Of said districts at the time the said
improvements are made. The courts
order In this respect IL strictly in accord
ance with the statute, meeting any such
emergency a. depreciation OF the taxable

We are tired OF muddy roads. The
