how drunkenness. for instance, has

the time wien the Prophet Joseph first

all been changed. Tho Word OF Wisdom

that the situation looks very bad
The president thus passively. at

senator against another.
The conference was held at the New

of opinion appeared to be to probe to

CREDITORS WILL
GET SMALL AMOUNT
Armand Decourtieux, Packer
and Cattleman, Pays But
271a Cents on Dollar

The business community learned with
great surprise yesterday that Armand
Decourtieux. the packer and cattleman.
generally rated in the millionaire class
and owner of a beautiful home in San
Rafael. had found it necessary TO seek
the indulgence of his creditors.
Decourtieux has for number of
years maintained an establishment in
the California market His father was
long in the meat business in San Fran
cisco and the son succeeded him.
1t had been generally understood that
Decourtieux was doing large and
profitable business. He was known as
one of the Il o'clock crowd" the term
applied TO the coterie of wealthy men
thai crossed daily to their suburban
homes at o'clock in the afternoon
There was great astonishment in the
trade when Decourtieux called his
creditors together and asked that they
arrange some basis OF settlement. The
amount at issue is said to have been
of considerable size. The creditors
will receive 27E cents on the. dollar
and the business is TO be continued
without interruption. Those chiefly
interested were: Grace & Owens, butch
ers and cattlemen; the Portuguese
American bank, the Marin county bank
and the Western meat company
