IN NEED OF MONEY
Attorney Claims Richmond
Abattoir Has Financial
Troubles.
CONDITION A SURPRISE.

Announcement was made in the
Wayne circuit court room this morn
ing to the effect the Richmond Abat-
toir company is in bad way finan-
cially. The declaration was made by
Henry U. Johnson, attorney for Chris
TOPPER Elstro. Mr.. Elstro is a stock
holder in the company. Mr.. Johnson
stated the stock in the concern is not
worth par and that the company has
considered going into the hands of a
receiver. He declared the concern is
insolvent.
That such a condition exists in the
company was heard with surprise by
many persons in the court room. 1t
was believed generally the abattoir has
been doing large business and meet
ing with success. The company was
reorganized recently and the pre-
sumption was that success was being
met in the operation of the plant.

His Hobby.

One man with an odd hobby isn't a
person who gets much mail. and what
he has or expects to have he can keep
in mind very easily. Probably he
never had a letter which went astray.
Yet every time he sees in the news
papers the list of advertised mail sent
out from time to time by the general
postoffice in New York he turns at
once to the initial letter under which
his name comes and runs carefully
through the list. He never yet has
found any letter that might be sup
posed to be for him and, Furthermore,
hasn't found any that might be for any
of his relatives.
He takes an odd pleasure in doing it,
however, something with that eager.
ness which impels man to grub
through a packet of old letters in
hopes that he may come upon some
rare variety of stamp. Really. If ever
he found his name in the list it proba-
bly, would kill his enjoyment of the
hunt forever thereafter.-New York

CHANCE TO SPEND
MONEY IS GIVEN
Whiteman's $42 to Be Used
4 For Counsel.

That SAP, that Valentine Whiteman
has raised for his defense against the
charge of assault and battery upon
his wife with intent to kill. may have
its influence. The case has been con-
tinued again indefinitely and the
name of another attorney is mention
ed in connection with the case. This
time it. is suggested as likely" the
case will be called Friday of this
week. If the record established in
this case for the number of continu-
ances during the last week continues,
it bids fair to become a rival of the
celebrated Hunt case.
The pauper attorney was notified
by Judge Fox of the Wayne circuit
court last week to defend Whiteman
and prepare the case for trial. The
pauper attorney said Whiteman had
$42 and wanted to employ regular
counsel Continuances have been
granted since and appearances indi-
cate the prisoner will have an oppor'
tunity to spend the money.

and senate. If this is true the demo-
Gratis may win, because they will have
a majority of twelve or fourteen on
joint ballot. The democrats take this
position because their attorneys ad-
wise them that law cannot be so con-
strued as to defeat itself, and that if
in this contest half of the committee
made one report and the other half
made another report the law would be
defeating its own purpose. They say
the intention of the law is to afford a
means of deciding a contest and not to
prevent a decision of the case.
This is a new construction of the
election contest law, and the republi-
cans are looking into it. The law does
not say whether the report of the COM
Mite shall be made to joint session
or to each house separately.

GRAFT IN RUSSIA.
Removing the Difficulties In an Army
Officers Transfer.

A young Russian officer wished to be
transferred to another regiment and
took his request in person to one of
the lights of the Russian general STAFF.
That powerful officer shook his head
and declared the matter very difficult
to arrange-almost impossible. Then
his glance fell suddenly upon the shoes
of the lieutenant. To the amaZement
of his visitor, the senior officer said
that the lieutenant's shoes were not
nearly good enough for an officer and
that he would strongly advise him to
buy new shoes of a shoemaker whose
address he gave. Then, telling his Wis
itor to return in eight days. he dis
missed him. The latter was clever
enough to realize that he could not re-
turn without the new shoes, so he hur-
ried to the shoemaker. On hearing
who had sent him the shoemaker said
that the lieutenant could have the
shoes In five days for the sum of $3.50
Much astonished. the officer went to a
comrade for advice. He was told to
pay half of this sum at once and the
rest when his shoes were finished.
This the officer did. and. wearing his
new boots, he duly kept his appoint
ment with the general staff officer and
learned to his Joy that all the grave
difficulties in the way of his transfer
had been successfully removed.

ANOTHER DELAY IN
HOSPITAL DONATION
Mayor Will Veto Ordinance Ap-
propriating So, to
Institution.
CONSIDERATION TONIGHT.
ONLY ONE COUNCILMAN EXPECT
ED TO VOTE AGAINST MEASURE
-"GoRILLA" TACTICS DO NOT
MEET WITH FAVOR.

At council meeting this evening the
matter of passing the ordinance APP
propriating 81 900 for the maintenance
of the Reid Memorial hospital next
year will come up for consideration.
There is no doubt that the ordinance
will be passed, the only prospective
negative vote being that of Council
man. Wettig. 1t is an assured fact
that Mayor Schillinger will veto the
measure.
About six weeks ago the general ap-
and passed. This was vetoed by the
mayor because it contained the $4,000
hospital appropriation item. When the
ordinance was returned to council its
consideration was postponed two
weeks on a motion made by Council
man Wettig.
At the last council meeting Mayor
Schillinger announced that council
had no legal authority to postpone &C
ton on the ordinance and that it
would be neces sary for another ordin-
ance appropriating money for the hos
pital to be introduced. This was
promptly done and the ordinance was
advanced to it's third reading.
IL the mayor vetoes this new ordin-
ance it will be two weeks more before
it will be possible for council to take
final action on the measure. Council
members say they are weary of the
gorilla" tactics employed by the ad-
ministration in delaying the passage
of the ordinance.
