RECEIVERSHIP FOR
CONTRACTING firm
GEORGE w. JACKSON COMPANY
OF CHICAGO GOES INTO
BANKRUPTCY

Chicago, April S.-George w. Jack
son. Incorporated. one of the most
widely known contracting and engi-
neering firms in the country late yes
terday turned it's affairs over to a
creditors committee. The action was
voluntary and was because of the need
of ready money.
The firm was incorporated by Mr.
Jackson few years ago after his
business interests had grown to some
magnitude Most of the big feats Of
engineering in the way of tunnels
subways, lake cribs, etc., in Chicago
in recent years were of his work.
When the firm took the contrac
for the Yonkers water pressure tun
mel, however, it tied UP its assets tt
such an extent that it found itsel
short of ready cash, it was explained
by the creditors committee today
and Mr.. Jackson sought air from tht
creditors to avoid financial mishap o.
possible receivership.
The assets of the company are de
clared by the committee members tt
be considerably above any liabilities
but their fixed nature prevented the
movement required for Immediate
work. Ira M. Cole is chairman O
the creditors committee.

HOE JOINT In ROSWELL

Roswell, n. NJ, April S.-An opium
den OF years gone by was unearthed
yesterday when a little old frame
building on east Second street was
torn down to make way for a fine,
modern store building of steel and
concrete that P. C. Jacoby is to build
at once. The den was in cellar un-
der the building and the owner did
not know that his propery had such
an annex. The cellar was a room not
more than Sx1O feet. but the walls
were arranged with hunks for the
'fiends" to recline upon. A large
box full of empty opium retainers was
found buried in the floor. For the
past ten or fifteen years the ground
floor had been occupied by Cinnamon
either as a laundry or restaurant. No
raid was ever made on the place and
the public never suspected that it was
a hop joint"

CHIHUAHUA is SURROUNDED
BUT FOR COURTESY OF lNSUR-

Chihuahua, (via Laredo, Texas)
April S.-A report, which, however,
lacks official confirmation, is in per-
sistent circulation here that in the
event of President Diaz putting into
effect the reforms suggested in his
message to congress, with peace as
the result, DR.. Vasquez Gomez, the in
surrectos' confidential agent in Wash
ington, will be called to Mexico City
to assume high office.
With the outposts of the insurrec-
tos and federals separated by only
few miles, Chihuahua today con-
tnues in a state of expectancy. A
message has been sent to Madero,
urging him not to permit the destruc-
ton of the Mexican National railroad
to the south, which now furnishes the
only means to bring supplies here.
A suspension of traffic would place
Chihuahua under siege and work a
hardship on the non-combatants. Ma
dero has permitted provision trains to
pass through insurrecto territory to
the mines to the north. where Ameri-
cans are employed. Shipments of
dynamite to the mines also have been
allowed. sometimes ON condition that
a portion OF the dynamite be surren-
dered.

PASSENGERS TAKEN
OFF STRANDED Liner
HOWEVER, THE PRINCESS IRENE
is STILL FAST IN BEACH
SANDS

Lone Hill Life Saving Station,
April S.-Efforts of a fleet of tugs
and varying wind shifted the po-
sition of the stranded liner Princess
Irene during the night and at day
break her nose swung little further
off shore. But surfmen are shaking
their heads at ominous looking clouds
and predicting hard northeastern
wind, which would prove disastrous
to the big liner. With all her passen'
gers safely taken off, the work oil
tightening the cargo began this morn
ing and if storm does not come
this will be completed in the next As
hours. 1t is believed dredges will be
necessary before the Princess Irene
can be floated.
