Street.
 As he placed his axe at the root of Q tree fthis was late in fsf1l he tlt- tered these words, This ia inc first tree-future ages will tell the tale"
 The settlement was named New Phil when at the union. of Alabarna paIvn and New Philadelphia single town was formed and called Montgomery.
 Thus briefly are a few facts connect cry.
 In connection with the proposed cell eoration, two dates deserve absolutely falr considerAfion--lsl4 and 1877.
 If Montgomery would celebrate the beginning of her history. then she must select some portion of the year 1874.
 There Is. no way to overcome the tact- that In that year a white settler occupied, his own home in what Is now the city of Montgomery. and that he entertained friends and guests in that home, .a
 On the other hand. If Montgomery would celebrate what General Wood ward termed the Rounding of Mont gomeryP then it must select some por- ton of the year lSi7 Broadly speak, ing any date from 1874 to 1877, inclus- i've, may be appropriately observed with per1ect cohslSlency and without doing violence to the. integrity of history.
 If the earlier date--ts1 4--be selected as the most fitting year in which to hold the celebration 1t will In no way detract from the fame and works of Mir, Dexter. nor will it deprive his dee scendants of the honor that is rightly theirs.
 The writer has endeavored to pre- sent the facts in connection with these several dates in order to provoke dis cIlssiops -,s :sssse. : ' es. s3-..
 There hs no doubt but that in the cnd fait-rninded people will unite upon the correct date and that as the great event assumes shape and sub stance 1t will be seen that absolute justice Is to be given to all those who were instrumental in launching the destiny of this city,
 The point may be raised that the date of the proposed celebration is too
The Montgomery advertiser., 1908-08-16

The writer believes that Montgom- eriAus possess all of those essential ei- enaents that tend for the upbuilding of Greater Montgomery.
 Also. that they inherit such large measures of civic pride and virtue that they wiH grasp every opportunity to honor its ancient founders; to advance its varied interests and to preserve tn> tact for future ages its history and traditions.
 With this end in view. the writer would suggest that Montgomerians be- gin at once to make elaborate prepar- ations for the observance of the city's centennial.
 On account of the vast historic in- terest that attaches to Montgomery, such an occasion will. In the very na- ture of things, assume somewhat of national importance
 assume that there will at first arise differences of opinion as to the year in which this celebration should be held. s~.
 That in itself. however. need not prove to be an insurmountable ob. staele. A, discussion of the proposed event will tend to remove all extran- eous matter and to bring out the his. toricai facts more clearly.
 Pickett, the historian, in his admir- able work, History of Alabama" gives our Hebrew friends credit for being amongst the earliest settlers in what

far in the future; that it is too early to agitate the movement.
 The writer contends that to begin st once will not be q day too soon.
 If 1914 is selected we have only six years in which to do vast amount of work. The selection of 1917 will give us only nine years in which to prepare for an event that is fraught with great possibilities for this city and people.
 If a movement like the one thus crudely outlined is launched by the people of an enthusiastic and patriotic city. 1t requires no stretch of the inaag- ination to see it arousing c widespread interest. both State and National.
 If space permitted. it would be inter- esting to note all of the permanent ben. efits that will accrue from the observ- ance Of Montgomery's centennial.
 At this time. however, this can only be done briefly and in part.
 First--A spirit or historical research will be engendered, many valuable doc- uments will be brought to light and the Department of Archives will be greatly enriched.
 Second--The plan of the e ration could be made to assume B scope that 1t would contemplate the erection of statues and monuments in various portions of the city. These. heightened by Montgornery's picturesque location would entitle her to the name. "The City Beautiful"
 Third--.Nontgomer although ai- ready interesting to the tourist. will command yet larger stream of visit torss- attracted hither by It's varied charms.
 in concIusion; What more ftting event can Montgomerians celebrate? From what source can they derive more pleasure or insDiration7
 The one hundredth anniversary of their native city and the enduring works of their pioneer forefathers calls for recognition at their hands.
 Will they accord it in a manner be. fitting the occasion and people?

BANKRUPTCY CASE
Judge Lowe Opposed Trustee
 Named By Attorney Church.

There was hearing before the ref cree in bankruptcy, Henry G. Newton, in the district court this forenoon on the matter of Abraham Levin, who kept plumbers shop at 2S2 North | Main street, and whose liabilities are about $14,000, with assets of about | $1,2O0. Half q dozen local lawyers, and one iron Newark, N .J., David H. Bilder, representing A. NJ. Kahn of the same place, made things unusual | ly lively.
 Attorney U. G. Church. represent | ing the largest amount of claims fla Nored the appointment of E. Levi as trustee, he being large creditor. This choice was vigorously opposed by Judge k. A. Lowe, who is q creditor also to the amount of $400 money loan ed
 Aha" said Judge Lowe, when the nomination of Levy was made, ''an- other of the same tribe eh? l know them. This man Levin has robbed the whole town. He borrowed $400 from me and he did not as much as call at my office about 1t. He is dishonest from the top of his head to the soles of his feet Levy is in business matters with him and there fore l oppose his appointment as trustee"
 Yes" said Attorney Rogers, Levy takes mortgages from Levin and then releases them. He may be all right, but I oppose his appointment too" Then up spoke the lawyer from New ark, This is a tribunal of law 1 take it, and such insults are uncalled for"
 ''I don't care" said Judge Lowe, I'll swear they are of the same tribe. l won't take back word l said.''
 Mir Bilder of Newark said his client, Mr Kahn had a claim for $500 and it was just claim, and he would not listen to any such remarks as were made.
 Still, Judge Lowe held his ground and later went into further detail. At torneys Lynch and Guilfoile were nominated for the post of trustee and the taking of evidence began.
 It was brought out that Levin bought or built for $10,000 house and that he mortgaged it for ST. 900. One mortgage was for $5,000, $3,500 in cash and the balance a note. This mortgage was given last Christmas to Nathan Greenstein of Newark, a brother-in-law of Levin. Levin could not state what had be- come of the cash. All he could ac- count for was $50 which he gave to his counsel, Judge Peasley, for drawing up his schedules in bank ruptcy. Attorney Guilfoile accepted the post of trustee.

Visited Store on North Square
 Saturday Evening.

The store of Philip Eberich on North square was visited Saturday evening by some enc who was short in the coal bin and needed pair of gloves also. Two pair of heavy gloves such as castors wear at work were taken from in front of the store some time during the early part of the evening What time some one else, or mayhap the same party, helped himself ro a few empty dry goods cases in the back yard, Eb- erich does not know. But he con siders himself lucky that the unwel- come visitor did not make free with a case or two of heavy winter boots and shoes that were in the yard that cost a few dollars 0 pair. The price of the two pairs of gloves was about $3. Considering what the thieves could have taken and did not seem to know about, Eberich considers he got off pretty well.

KINDRECAN'S MONEY
Claim of Mrs Hull Being Heard
 To-Day.

Evidence was taken this forenoon on the claim of Mrs Levea A. Hull of New Haven for $25,000 against i the estate of the late Joseph w. Kindregan, which amounts to about ! $6O,000. Her claim is based on al- legged services extending over a pe- riod of nine years, room rent, loss of rent, for bequests made to her by Mrs Kindregan and which Kindre- 1 gan never paid to her.
 Mrs Hull said she was a cousin of Mrs Kindregan, being child of Mrs K1ndregan's mothers sister. For the last ten years of the Kindre- gans' life she was in frequent con- tact with them. When she was a bride twenty-one years ago she said she came to Waterbury and Mrs hlndregan, after some trouble, To- cated her. She moved from here to New Haven, thence to New London. and back again to New Haven.
 Mrs Kindregan died on October 5. 1906, and MT Kindregan on May 8. 1907.
 About five or six years before their deatn the klndregans sent for Mrs Hull to New Haven and told her that as they were getting old and had no relatives they would see that she was taken care of after their death IT she would take care of them. Mrs kindregan said she would leave all to her. and Kindregan said he would see later what he would do. Ihey according took up their resi- dence with her in New Haven. After ms wlfe's death !n 1906 Kindregan sold ms house and he depended for everything upon Mrs Hull until the tune he went to live in the Chelsea.
 Mrs Hull was cross-examined mi- nutely by Mayor Thoms, one of the administrators, as to her househoId accommodations and arrangements. and he brought out that Mrs Huli used to rent rooms. She had a nine room house and for the sake of the hlndregans she excluded all her other roomers.
 Alter Mrs Kindregan's death, MT Klndregan and witness opened fin Dox Tn which Mrs Kindregan used to Keep her private papers. They found her will, some jeweiry. bank books, some gold pieces and stocks and bonds. Mrs Hull never opened this box alone, though she had a key to it. When MT Kindregan placed this box in the safety yauIt With the Colonial Trust Co he intro duced witness to the clerk as his wife's cousin. Mrs Hull would have if understood that sine put in no claim as a servant or for work as snch put simply and wholly as MT Kin dregan's confidential friend, and for the promises ne had made to her and did not redeem and for the property which his wife had left her. The hearing was good for the whole day. Attorneys Seery and McMahon as the commissioners heard the evil dence
 Mrs Hull was asked by Mayor Thoms if she ever consulted legal advice about petitioning for a d. vorce from her husband in order that she could marry Kindregan. and she said she had not.

INTERCOLLEGIATE CONTESTS.
New England Universities Divided on
 Harvard Faculty Dictum.


 Boston. Jan. 20.-That the sentiment of the athletic authorities Of the vari- ous New England colleges is divided on the question of reducing arbitrarily the number of intercollegiate athletic contests in accord with the expression of the faculty of Harvard university recently is shown by the comments which they have made upon the liar yard faculty dictum.
 Of ten leading New England colleges outside of Harvard but four stand determinedly for reduction in the matter of intercollegiate contests be- low that already in vogue-Tufts. Will Hams, the University of Vermont and Colby. President White of the latter declaring in favor of the abolishment of all intercollegiate contests.
 On the other hand. Brown authori- ties declare that that college cannot curtail the number of games without financial loss. Bowdoin authority de clares its schedule cannot be reduced without interfering with the proper development of the teams. and Uni versity of Maine authority states the effect in general of its contests is so wholesome that no reduction is desir- ed. Bates and Amherst declare their schedules are already cut down to the proper limit. Although no word was given out at Dartmouth, 1t is known that at that college the number of in. tercollegiate contests has been kept down and that the general feeling is that the present schedules are satis- factory to the faculty and athletic council, by whom they have been ap- nrnrnd
