BAR TO SETTLEMENT
OF WAGCAMAN CLAIMS
Daniel B. CIarke's Heirs Pro-
test Against the Recently
Proposed Compromise.

The compromise between H. Rozier Du.

America regarding the latters claim
against the bankrupt estate of Thomas
E. Waggaman, its former treasurer, is
not to have clear sailing. The heirs OF
the late DR.. Daniel B. Clarke. father-in-
law of Mr.. Waggaman. three of whom
are children Of the former treasurer, to-
day filed a protest to the proposed set
tlement The Clarke estate has a claim
Of $4,000.
BY the compromise the university was
to receive about S3JO,OOO in cash and Sc
curities in settlement of its claim of about
$9OO.OOO which had come into Wagga-
mans hands as treasurer.
No exception is taken to the proposed
settlement with John F. Waggaman.

creditors Of his brother.
The exceptants are Ellen NJ. Morse,
Juliana Rachel Waggaman Daniel
Daniel B. Clarke Waggaman and Mary
Agnes w dS SdIndI w lllott, as nO1IS-dI-
law and next of kin Of DR.. Daniel b.
Clarke.
Papers Declared to Be Void.
In opposing the compromise the
Clarke heirs. through Attorney w. E.
Ambrose. allege that the bill Of sale
and deed OF trust referred to are each
void in contemplation of law as against
the trustee representing the creditors
of the bankrupt; that even il the valid
ity of the instruments were not doubt
full, there is no such apparent validity
in them as justif1es the extremely fav-
orable terms OF the proposed compro-
mise in respect Of the university.
1t is also urged that If any compromise.
such as is proposed. were made the uni
versity should receive only securities
similar to those to which the other credi-
tors would be entitled and should not
be given choice securities as contempIat-
ed by the compromise. Finally. the heirs
say, the proposed compromise is against
the best interests Of the general creditors
of the bankrupt.
The result of the filing OF this excep-
ton will be the naming OF day to
hear the matter in court This may be
agreed on by counsel during the summer
recess or the hearing may be postponed
until the fall term of court.

BLAZING TO GROUND
Aviator Ehrmann's Machine
Struck by Lightning While
in Air.

BARCELONA July 2O.-While he was
making a cross-country fight today Avi-
ator Ehrmann's aeroplane was struck by
lightning and fell blazing to the ground.
The aviator escaped uninjured, which is
regarded as almost miraculous.
There has never been a more startling
aerial exhibition than that which Ehr-
mann unwillingiy afforded, and those who
witnessed it could hardly believe their
eyes when the airman emerged from the
singed framework none the worse for his
experience.
In Path of Sky Bolt.
He was sailing along at moderate
height when he got in the path Of sky
bolt Instantly the aeroplane was en-
veloped in flames, it's canvas wings
shriveled up, and. clinging to the skeleton
of his craft, Ehrmann came down with
q thud.
Aviator Ehrmann heretofore has not
figured prominently in flying events, and
the novel accident occurring to him to-
day brings him into prominence for the
first time.

turn early Tuesday afternoon when an
error Of q votes was discovered in

In the eighth precinct, Koenig. who
had been credited with So votes, was
discovered to have 1O6, while Kings

179, and William Gutman, credited
with 1874, had ITO. That the error
was merely one of overworked count

Frank Z. Doremus, Democratic nom

quite evident that the machine cannot
prevail against the will OF the people,
when the people are once aroused.
1.-The fact that Maine has gone Dem
ocratic shows plainly that the people
throughout the nation are indignant
over the action OF the Cannon-Aldrich
crowd In foisting on the country the
infamous OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES tarih.
They are determined that the control
OF national legislation by the special
interests shall cease and they are EVIL
IDENTIFY determined to bring 1t about
by the complete overthrow OF the
Cannon-Aldrich machine.
"The Republican party, two years
ago, promised an honest revision or
the tariff downward. The machine
repudiated that promise and betrayed
the interests of the American people.
Suffering as they are from the In
creased cost of living, the people are
now in no mood to tolerate longer the
men who rcpudiated the party pledge,
| for they realize that the new tariff law
was not framed for their benefit but
for the benefit of the special interests,
which have dominated congress for 80
many years.

Attorney Frederick T. Harvard, .
native of Maine, returned only last
week from a vacation trip to his home
town, and the news of the Democratic
victory came as no surprise to him.

Cannon and the tariff and sentiment
was very much against the stand

conditions, but that Is not true OF the
