JUDGE REED IN COURT REBUKES
 ATTY. SHAPIRO
Latter's Action in Bank ruptcy Case Evokes Sharp Criticism from Court.

Displeased at the action of Attor- ney Charles H. Shapiro in the Zeigler Co. receivership matter, Judge Joel H. Reed severely criticised the law yer in the superior court this morn ing Judge Reed declared he did not like Attorney Shapiro's conduct in taking the matter to the United States district court and he refused to hear the lawyers explanation of the matter.
 About a month ago the Zeigler Co.,, which conducted a wholesale grocery business in Water street, applied for a temporary receiver and N. c. HerZ was appointed by Judge Reed. At torney Joseph Shapiro, member of the Shapiro firm, went to Hartford and asked Judge Platt in the United States court to have the company thrown into bankruptcy. Judge Platt thereupon appointed Charles D. Cleve- land of this city trustee. Attorney Jacob B. Klein. who represents about IS per cent. of the creditors, was not present at this hearing and he inn mediately communicated with Judge Platt. The latter upon hearing At torney Klein's version, declared Cleveland's appointment would not
 Attorney Shapiro went before Judge Platt second time and again had Cleveland appointed. Last Friday in the Superior court Judge Reed con- firmed the appointment of Nathan C.. Herz as permanent receiver and or dered sale of the property at il this morning. About 1o:45 this morning Attorney Shapiro appeared before Judge Reed and asked that the sale be postponed.
 Attorney Klein then explained what had taken place in the United States court. Judge Reed then said:
 Tt is possible that do not grasp the situation. This sale was ordered last Friday and sale ordered for to- day at Il o'clock. I do not want to conflict Or to raise any conflict be- tween this court and the United States court, and do not intend to. If any is raised it will be very distasteful. But I confess I do not see what diff ference it makes whether this receiver sells the property or anQther. It seems to me that the property should be sold in order to preserve it and that is the idea-to preserve this property and prevent its destruction.
 An whether one receiver sells it or another receiver sells it does not seem to me to be of supreme importance. It may to counsel but I confess it does not to me- Now this has been ordered:
 Mir. Shapiro: Qnterrupting1 May we spread on the record the. order of
 The Court: do not care to have you spread anything upon the record.
 MT. Shapiro: Very we'll your Honor.
 The Court: That sale will take place as I have ordered, subject to my ap- proval. And it is possible that coun- sel have the right to go from this court to the United States court af- ter this court has appointed a re- ceiver and get receiver appointed by the U. s. Court, but whatever may be the result of it I say plainly that I do not like it; it does not meet my approval that counsel should do that thing.
 MT Shapiro: simply acted
 The Court: do not care to hear you sir. Let the sale go on subject to my approval.

THE RUINED HOUSE.

Here where a chimney corner was And gladness fingered long ago, The morning dew spreads shreds of
 gauge,
 And noxious weeds unhindered grow The walls that once kept out the storm Are crumbling into useless dust, Yet here a maiden may be heard The eagerly expected word
 And gladly promised all her trust. Here, where the warped, and crumb-
 ling beams
 Of all their burdens are relieved, A man may once have had fair dreams Of victories to be achieved; And here woman may have sat And listened in the lonely night, For tardy footsteps at the door Or watched for faces that no more Might fill her sad soul with delight. Tread softly here. nor speak in jest; The walls are crumbling in decay; The timid field mouse makes its nest Where once perhaps baby lay; Here once a chimney corner was; A heart may once have broken there; And wonder where the beams are piled It may be that little child
 Learned how to say its first sweet
 prayer.

COUNTRY CLUB
 THE OASIS FOR
 SUNDAY THIRST
Members of Brooklawn Club Rejoice that It Is Located
 Over Fairfield Line

Brooklawn club, in the town of Fair field, just across the line from Bridge port, may be the mecca of the thirsty friends, on Sundays hereafter.
 Prosecuting Liquor Agent Greenstein whose recent activity has caused an upheaval in local ciubdom, which has learned that it is no longer possible to sell liquor on week days or Sum- days without violating the laws, made a statement today that brought hope to the members or the exclusive Brook lawn organization.
 The liquor prosecuting agent is a county official. His activities are not restricted to the limits of any city or town with the county. It has often been the case that the prosecutor for Fairfield has issued warrants for raids in Stratford.
 Prosecutor Greenstein said today, however, that custom has grown up by which the local prosecuting liquor agents have never issued warrants for organizations outside the city.
 If anyone comes to Greensten with complaint that the Brooklawn club is violating the law in continuing the dispensing of liquors, he said today he will refer them to the liquor prosecut- ing agents of Fairfield
 And the Fairfield court has not yet passed upon the liquor eases. and may not be called upon to do so. In which event. the Brooklawn club may con- tinue to provide thirst slaling potions to its members as at present
 The Bridgeport club will have a pinochle tonight. After the pinochle the members of the club will get to- gether with President Botsford and talk things over.
 President Botsford said this after noon: "Of course we will obey the mandate of the court"
 One element of the local clubs is hopeful that the upper courts will not does Judge Foster Appeals have been taken from his decision and un- til the Common Pleas court passes upon the cases they will continue to hope that liquid joy may be dispensed as at present.

From an absolutely impartial source comes report of the economic con- ditions in Palestine. which is highly instructive. MT. Joshua Eisenstadt of Jerusalem made an investigation of the local conditions His statis- tics proved that the Ashkenazim German Jews) of Jerusalem have 2717O people who are supported rom the official charity. Besides these there are 5000 people, who are support ed by relatives living outside Of Pal estine, and 5000 who live on occasion al charity, so that it may be said that out of a. population of 44O00, there are fully S5,OO0 dependents. Making an allowance for certain inaccuracies. it is fairly we'll established that two- thirds of the population of Jerusalem live on aims, which have to be pro- vided from foreign countries. HOW under these conditions It can De ex- pected that Palestine will prove ha- ven of refuge for Jews living in lands of oppression is simply unintelligible.
 At it's thirty-seventh annual meet ing the congregation of Temple Eman- uel. Denver Col, raised the salary of it's rabbi. Dr. William s.

THE MADHI.

The Madhi! At the very name of the murderer of General Gordon a whole series of blood-curd1ing pictures of savage fanaticism in t5es wiIds Of Africa presents itself to us, and, as likely as not, we wonder whether the dark doings of the Sudanese Kha1ifat will ever be enacted again~in one of the lesser corners of the Dark Continent.
 As matter of fact, the word "Madhi'' is a title According to the Mohammedan creed, the prophet was but the forerunner of another pro- phet greater than himself, and who would be known as the Mahdf-1fter- ally, the 'man led by Allah" Nat urally. considering how vague the definition of the promised leader is. there have been scores of pretenders within the past few hundred years ambitious men who thought that by playing on the fanatical passions of the Arabs they would rise to power. They were, and are, generally success ful for certain period, and conse- quently it has been the policy of gov ernments to put down the unruly reb- els whenever they could.
 Thus, in the Sudan, for instance. hardly year passes without it's Mahdi melting the Dervishes to drive the Christians into the sea. As long as the rising is only local, it can be dealt with rapidly and with energy Were it to spread there would be an frnme- diate confiagration.
 As it happens. there exists at the present time in the heart of Africa a Mahdi who is the recognized leader of eight millions followers. called the Senoussi. The most inaccessible oases of the Sahara Desert form the core of this vast empire, but the Mahdfs sub- jects, armed to the teeth, are scatter ed throughout the greater part of North Africa and Arabia, and are. by all accounts, increa sing rapidly in s'In Mysterious se- noussi Land." in the April Wide World Magazine.

The Trumbull authori- ties received word from the board of charities in Philadelphia that Wild had come there and asked for aid. The Quaker City officials did not want to pay WilG's fare to his home and the Trumbull authorities are not anxious to spend che money. So it is difficult to tell what will become of the old man.
