ZANDlTON FACES SUIT.
Resents Attempt to Force Him Into
Bankruptcy.

Edward L. Zanditon. proprietor of the
Ianditon department store, is the defend
ant OF suit of bankruptcy brought
against him by three creditors, Joseph
4 aIn1ner & GO of st. Louis. II. Phillips of
New York City and Suddhoff, Eggers &
Buchanan of Cincinnati The three cred
1tors make number of sensational
charges and claim that the Zanditon COM
pany IS guilty of transferring creditors
ana balancing them around in such man
store is paving proposition when in truth
the PROPRIETOR owes more than he is able
to pay. The creditors filed their petition
IN the United states Circuit court Friday
and asked that the court announce the
pankruptcy OF the firm on question.
MIR. Zanditon in an Interview with a
State Journal reporter said that there was
no truth IN the charges made by the sup
posed creditors. He said that they have
never attempted to collect the bills they
have against him and they simply filed
their lien without the least warning and
without the least provocation whatever. He
said In part: II could not expect much
else AFTER have been hearing of the way
people have been kicking about the way
do business. am getting lots of busi-
the people who are envious of the fact
prod up the creditors with such stories.
These people who have DII1s against me
have not presented them to me and one
of them is in the form of a note not due
until the middle of March. The whole
matter only amounts to about $500 any
way and see no need for bankruptcy
charges. However. 1 will fight the mat
ter to a finish and do not intend to allow
this thing to interfere with my trade"
The petition filed in the United States
circuit court yesterday claims that Mr..
zanditon has been transferring a portion
of his stock to a favored creditor, thus
making him the preferred creditor.

ingly, it is not claimed that Syrup of Figs

known value, but one of many reasons
why it is the best of personal and family

sweetens and relieves the internal organs
on which it acts without any facilitating
after effects and without having to increase
the quantity from time to time.
1t acts pleasantly and naturally and
truly as laxative, and its component

fcials, and that fresh meat intended
for the prisoners did not reach them

that you insinuate this thing?" she
was asked.
Miss Barnard reiterated she meant
what her statement said. Miss
Barnard told the committee that If
could produce witnesses who have
testified to her that coal has been
misappropriated and that prison
hogs had no hams.''
Miss Barnard displayed indignation
when Senator Reed tried to elicit a
direct reply to his questions and she
declared he was trying to get her

fact that it will keep him from his work
for a short time, is not serious.
That there were not more accidents,
especially along Kansas avenue, where
the walks were extremely icy and slip

the business men who sprinkled lavish
supplies of salt and sand in front of their

The ice was practically all vanished by
noon, so that the accidents were confined
to the morning hours.
