HEAR APPLICATION
TOMORROW AT TERNOON
3. A. Lewis, Attorney For the Quaker
City Firm, Files Two Petitions in
United States court-Liablities Said
To Be About SIS, 900, While Assets
May Exceed That Sum.

The Artman, Friechner Company.
inc, OF Philadelphia, through At
torney Budette A. Lewis, yes
terday morning filed petition
in the United States Circuit Court
in Norfolk asking that Segar Whiting,
trading as the Hampton Furniture
Company, be placed into involuntary
bankruptcy. Another petition was
filed with the court asking that re-
ceiver be named to take Immediate
charge of the furniture business here
and the court set tomorrow afternoon
at . o'clock as the time for hearing
the application for the receivership.
Owing to the fact that none of the
attorneys connected with the case de-
sired to discuss the proposed bank
rutcy proceedings, little could be
learned last night of the facts in con-
nectioE with it. II was said the Phila-
delphia firm Is a large creditor and
that the action for a receivership and
involuntary bankruptcy was forced by
them.
Liabilities $4,000.
According to the best obtainable in
formation, the Hampton Furniture
Company, which is one Of the Oldest
business houses here and which has
been conducted at the corner of Hope
and West Queen streets by Segar
Whiting for the past ten years, has
liabilities approximating $4,000. The
total assets are not known. but it Is
said that the outstanding accounts OF
the firm will amount to- $55,086, while
the stock of furniture is large and
Mr.. whiting owns considerable real
estate in this section.
The Hampton Furniture Company
was organized by Bridgeforth & Brit
tingham and later became the prop
erty of Joseph B. Birmingham. who
sold the business to Mr.. Whiting ten
years ago. 1t is said that Mr.. Brit
tingham Is heavy creditor.
Friends OF Mr.. Whiting said last
night that the business would pay it
self out with the proper management
and little extension Of time, so hat
the installment collections can be
made. Under the contracts for the in
stallment business several months
would be required in closing out such
a business as this.
In the event that the receiver is
named and the bankruptcy order to
issue, this will be the largest business
failure Hampton has had in years.
May Be Result Of Suit.
According to reliable information
last night, the present proceedings
against Mr.. Whiting are probably due
TO the recent suit brought In the Cir
cult Court against him as one OF the
executors of the estate, of the late II.
Clay whiting by other heirs-Mrs. w.
G. Young and Mr.. l. F. Whiting. Judge
Robinson at the last term of the court
relieved former United States Senator
C. ]. Faulkner. OF West Virginia, as
one of the executioners, but the suit
still continues against Mt. Whiting

CORONATION AND ACCESSION.


The coronation OF a king is quite an

MANY SOURCES or REVENUE

The municipal laws committee de-
serves commentator for its ingenuity
in discovering taxable property. The
people Of this City are not taxed
enough as It Is. and so any new scheme
ought TO be hailed with satisfaction.
The proposition Is to tax every
electric meter. That Is reasonable.
The people do not pay anything worth
mentioning for their light. so an extra
tax on the meter should be quite a
relief 10 the consumers who are lust
oYerburdened with money.
But why stop at the meter? Why
not tax every individual lamp in the
house? And every wire? The municipal
laws committee should do nothing
rash. That venerable body Of patriots
ought to consider everything before IL
makes a recommendation. II IL does II
VIII find number OF things that can
be taxed in connection with the light
service.
And then II should turn It's atten-
ton to other luxuries. In most houses
there are dishes and knives and forks
and spoons, and dishpans and dish
rigs. They can all be taxed. In some
families there are babies. They can
be taxed extra. And there are hun
dreds OF other things
one source OF revenue the commit
tee should not overlook. They could
propose a tax on every load OF food the
farmers haul into the City. The prices
on food stuff are not high enough as
they are. And why not make the peo-
pie pay, as long as there is a cent in
sight?
And II such medieval measures do
not bring in money enough to satisfy
the tax-eaters. they might propose a
tax on every individual nose. Most peo-
pie have noses. There is precedent for
such "a measure. II people can afford
TO have nose they can afford to pay
the city for the privilege. We earnest
ly hope the eminent finauciers OF the
committee viii not overlook this source
OF revenue.
