CREDITORS ALMOST FIGHT
OVER NAMING RECEIVER.

JERSEY CITY, May 24.-The efforts
of two factions to name a trustee
agreeable to each came neal resulting
in a riot among fifty creditors of the
Little Ferry Paper Company. of Lit
tie Ferry. Bergen County, in the Jersey
City Bankruptcy Court, in the Union
Trust Company's building yesterday
afternoon.
Fearing a general fight Referee
Beach moved the meeting from
the Bankruptcy Court to room 3 of the
Chancery Chambers so they wouldn't
disturb the other persons on the fifth
floor. Another chance was given the
leaders of the w factions to get to-
gether and agree upon a man.
The creditors passed a resolution that
the business should be conducted as
usual. The assets shown by the sched-
ules amount to $685. 900 and the iiabili-
ties. including a bond Of Indebtedness,
amount to only about $4,000.

The .act that John D. Archbold, vice.
president of the standard Oil Company,
killed a little child while he was dssna
ing his motor became publicly known
for the first time yesterday, although
the accident happened nearly three
years ago-to be exact, on July %, 1905.
The child was ~7-year-old Guilheme
de Mello, daughter of William de
Meilo, of this city, wnos damage suits
against Archbold forced the Standard
Oil magnate to appear on the witness
stand lighting the charge that his neg
ligence caused the little girls death.
1t devClope on cross-examination of
Archbold by Lawyer Cummings, at
torney for De Mello, that the Mortified
millionaire had sought to suppress the
news Of the accident from the public at
the time of the happening, how sue
cessfully is attested by the result that
1t did not become known until the
action was heard in the Superior Court
here yesterday.

Quorum in Grandstand.

Little Rock, March 23.-Baseball
fever ran irresistably in the veins Of
the Arkansas solons Thursday aft,r-
noon, and the diamond at West End
park proved greater magnet than tho
making and unmaking of dry old laws
that nobody ever reads anywqy unless
they get into trouble or want to get
somebody else into trouble.
The Cleveland Americans stopped

baseball fans We'd with each other in
showing honor to the visitors The
Senate met at 2 o'clock--and adjourn
ed. There really was no business to
be transacted, anyway. And ia the
House there was a spirit OF unres.
during the hour the scant quorum was
in session. During the reading of the
few bills that were considered there
were insistent calls of "Play ball'
from many Of the members. Repre-
sentative Ragon Offered resoluti.n
as follows:
Whereas. out of respect and es-
TEEN for the venerable Cy Young and
his coterie of hefty ball-tossers who
will romp around the diamond at $3.50
p. m. today, and
Whereas, the Senate of Arkansas
has in honor Of said occasion suspend
ed their efforts to save the country
until 9 o'clock tomorrow morning,
and
Whereas, the proceedings Of the
House are being closely scrutinized
much to the embarrassment Of each
and every member, by Congressman
Barney Oldfield,. therefore be 1t
Resolved that the House adjourn

MURPHY RECEIVERS
ON old ACCOUNT
Jury In the Circuit Court Decided
Lawsuit In Favor of r. Y. Murphy
and Against W. H. Langford.

In the Jefferson circuit court YES
terday, jury after brief delibera-
ton, returned verdict in favor of
T. Y. Murphy, who sued William H.
Langford for $7949o alleged to be
due him for feed stuff, purchased by
the defendant while the plaintiff was,
in the commission business in this
city. The Jurors gave the plaintiff
Judgment for almost the full amount
sued for, with interest from date of
purchase. Attorney Coleman and
Can't represented the plaintiff and
Taylor and Jones the defendant.
The suit was brought on a running
account and the feed stuff. it was al
legged, was delivered at the Langford
home on Mr.. Langford's orders be-
tween April, 1904, and March, 1901
Mr.. and Mrs. Langford appeared with
other witnesses in the case.
The original answer the defendant
claimed that the feed stuff was new
er delivered to the house, but after
the plaintiff had submitted practical
ly all of his evidence, the attorneys
for the defendant filed an amended
answer In which it was said that if
the goods were ever delivered, they
were paid for as delivered

en- Pine Bluff the decision by a score
of 2 to !.
Pine Bluff had an excellent team in
Miss Elizabeth Adams and John To-
ney to speak against the Little Rock
High School team, and therefore it
was with much regret that the news
was received announcing the defeat
of the Pine Bluff team ct the CAPT
tai. Miss Adams and Mr.. Toney made
a remarkable fight in the contest, but
the stronghold of supremacy in such
events which Little Rock High School
has maintained all over the state for
many years could not be shaken.
In this corner of the triangular bat
tie. the debate is declared to have
been a success both financially and
oratorically.
1t was stated in Little Rock last
night that the Pine Bluff debaters
made more points than their capital
city opponents. averaging 500 points
to Little Rocks 479. But the decision
went to Little Rock on the strength
of the division Of judges, two favor
ing the capital city debaters and one
announced for Pine Bluff.
