bv street, has been transferred from
his berth on the battleship Georgia |
which he had occupied since the ship
was placed in commission, to the auXil-
iarv cruiser, supply and repair ship
Panther, The Panther is accompany
ing the fleet around the world. Mr..
Kimball s transfer was one. of the
usual shifts of naval officers which take
place periodically and was made neces-
sary at this time on account OF the

left in the Philippines to take the place
of those few ordered to home stations.
-Wayland D. Russell, who was ad;,
Judged bankrupt by the United
States court in October. has not yet
filed his schedule of assets and liablll-
ties, and it is expected that some action |
to compel him to do so will be taken
soon. Russe!l's home is said to be IN
Worcester, Mass. Some months ago he
bought of Mr.. and Mrs. N. D., Sherman
of Nottingham parcel of land con,
tanning lime quarry and had his deed
recorded. The same day he decided the
land back to Mr.. and Mrs. Sherman,
but for some time the latter deed was
not recorded. Soon after, buying the
land he contracted debts for materials
with which to build lime, kiln, and
States court to have him adjudgedl
bankrupt. The creditors Joining in the
petition had claims amounting, to about |
$4,000. Russell fled application for
Jury trial, but he did not appear and SO
he was adiudged bankrupt. The mat
ter was referred to A. E. CudWorth,
referee in bankruptcy, and Russell was
ordered to file his schedules, but he has
not complied with the order. The ,petl-
tioning creditors are represented by
Chase & Daley.
