Steiner & Kaufman File VOlun-
tary Petition in Bankruptcy.
DISAGREEMENT IS CAUSE
General Expressions Of Regret Are
Heard on Account Of the Closing OF
One Of hamptons Largest Dry
Goods Houses-Liabilities Net Large

Steiner & Kaufman, one of the larg
est dry goods houses on the lower
! Peninsula. closed their doors yester
day morning and later in the day filed
voluntary bankruptcy petition in tn,
United States court in Norfolk The
bankruptcy proceedings are due to a
disagreement among the members Of
! the firm and il is now expected that
the creditors of the concern will re
ceiye almost the full amount of then
claims.
For several months there has been
disagreement between Mr.. lenatius
Steiner and Mr. Charles Kaufman
who composed the firm of Steiner K
Kaufman, and after many unsuccess
full attempts to bring about a salts
factory dissolution of the partnership,
the decision was reached to have the
business closed through voluntary
bankruptcy proceedings. Messrs.
Dudley & Causey represents Mr.. Stein
er and Messrs. Lett & Massie are the
attorneys for Mr. Kaufman. The
papers in the proceedings were filed
in the Norfolk court at noon yester-
day.
Liabilities and Assets.
According to Judge Dudley, one of
the attorneys in the case, the firm
has liabilities of $lS.S50, including
notes and all outstanding accounts
against them, while the stock of goods
is valued at s20.5l6 and there are
open accounts on the books amount
ing 10 $4,000, thus giving the con-
Germ assets amounting to s25, 500. 1t
is believed that the stock, being
fresh and seasonable, will bring a
good price and that the creditors of
the firm will receive almost the full
amount of their bills.
Judge Dudley said yesterday that
the disagreement between the part
ners was such as to make it impOs.
sible to continue business together
and that receivership in the state
courts might have been misinterpert-
ed by the creditors of the firm.
In Business Ten Years.
Steiner & Kaufman opened business
here in the Pythian castle in the year
1900 and since that time have done
fourishing business. Three years
ago they moved to the store room at
10 and IL West Queen street, where
the business was enlarged by the adj
dition OF a millinery department
When the news that the firm had
closed theiB doors spread around the
city AXE wild-fire, there were many ex-
pressions of regret among their form
or customers. In fact there has been
no failure in business here for years
that has caused so much genuine re-
greet as this one.
Neither Mr.. Steiner nor Mr.. kauf-
ran would make a statement for pub
hcation yesterday, each desiring that
the attorneys should speak for
them. 1t was. they said, simply a dis
agreement between the two partners
and that was all there was to IL.

THE DOUBLE QUARANTINE
AGAIN,

AGAIN.
In Norfolk discussion Of the double
quarantine system has been revived
by the action of the city council in
appointing Mr. Heth Tyler 10 succeed
DIR. Herbert Nash as member of the
Norfolk quarantine commission. 1t
seems to be generally recognized as
a fact that DR.. Nash, physician OF
prominence who has been a member
OF the commission for many years.
was replaced because he holds the
opinion that the double quarantine
system Is useless and ought to be
abolished The action was intended,
ii is said, TO act as check upon
the growth of sentiment in the COM
munity against the system.
As the Virginian Pilot remarks, the
action OF the council should stimulate
instead of checking this sentiment
And II gems that this will be the
case. The newspapers have been
aroused TO renewed denunclations OF
the useless system that is injuring
the trade of both of Virginia's ports,
and 1t may be that the councils at
tempt to perpetuate the hinderance TO
commerce will bring about well de-
fined movement toward seeking re-
lief
The Daily Press has expressed its
sentiments on this subject so often
that it is hardly worth while To re-
peat them. This paper knows. as
does everybody who is familiar with
the situation. that the State quaran-
tine as maintained here and in Nor
folk is useless and worse. 1t taxes
and handicaps the trade of the ports
without giving the slightest benefit IN
return. Practically, the State Quaran-
tine officers have no duty to perform
except TO board ships as they come in
to the harbor and collect fees. An
efficient quarantine service is MAN.

States government, and even if a yes

State officers are net equipped with

have these things. because they are
not expected to do anything except
collect their fees. Everybody knows
that the actual service is performed
by the federal officer.
This paper once hoped that the
state of Virginia would establish a
real quarantine station in Hampton
Roads for the protection of all its
ports. II this had been Gone. the
federal government in all probability
would have withdrawn It's service
from Old Point and lief, the situation

the State apparently has no intention
whatever of establishing such a sta

The Daily Press believes that all
these interested IN the welfare oil

WHAT MR.. ARMOUR DID NOT At
TEMPT TO EXPLAIN.

Not long ago Mr.. Armour, nedu VI
the great packing house of that name
and one of the dominating figures in
the American beef trust, bave out an
interview In which h. laced all the
blame for the existing high cost OF
living upon the farmer. He declared
that the farmers and stock raisers
have formed themselves into leagues
and associations and, by keeping up
the price of stock, are literally starry
ing the people. This interview was
published in nearly every paper IN
the country, and no doubt had its ell
feet toward allaying the feeling
against the beef magnates and be-
fuddllng the public mind.
II is q fact that there have been
advances in the cost of live cattle and
hogs, and knowing this to be the case
II is possible that some of the more
crcdulous swallowed Mr.. Armour's
dVSutN tn1b II tht AAtNiN
and stock-raisers would sell their
products at a reasonable profit. the
packers would put meat on the mar
ket at half the present prices.
What Mr.. Armour did not attempt
to explain. or even mention. is the
fact that American beef Is sold in the
English markets cheaper than il is at
hcme. Though the packers assert
that the prevailing price of stock is
responsible for the unreasonable
charges made for the finished product.
they are able to send their beef
across the ocean, paw freight on II
and then compete with the English
dealers whose prices are materially
lower than those existing in America.
There is no tariff on meat in England.
and the packers OF the world compete
there on an equal footing. And the
American packer. in spite of what he
pays for stock at home. crosses the
Atlantic with has product aud gets
his share of the business along with
the rest Nobody will srrgest that
the American packer is in business

Plan of French Workmen's Pension.

The recent passing of the workmen's
pension bill by the senate Of France
marks the end Of legislative strug-
gle extending more than four years
and of political agitation in France
reaching back to 1889. The plan in
wolves contributions from three sources
for the creation of the pension fund:
First. obligatory yearly contributions
from the wage Garner amounting to
81 80 for men. ST 20 for women and 50
cents for minors: second. the contribu-
ton of the employer. which equals
that Of the wage Garner. and. third.
the contribution OF the state.
Even the experts differ as to what
the latter will be. but the generally ac-
repted figure is $36OO0.OOO for the first
year. the amount decreasing until the
scheme works normally. when II will
be about $50 .OoO.OOO The benefciaries
are to draw their pensions at the age
Of slxty-hve or after thirty years Of
