OF the Altman payment Judge Hand re-
marked:
1T IL commendable enough to want TO
pay ones debts. but when the debtor Sc
locts favOrite creditors. whether they DC
tradesmen or banks. ne prefers those he
paws. and that he may not do.
The payment OF 1900 TO Mrs. Condor,
II had been contended. constituted her
monthly allowance for running the Con-
don household, and was therefore justi-
fable under the law; but Judge Hand
said:
Next. as to the payment OF Mrs Con-
don, il is quite apparent that 1t in fact
exceeded the necessities Of the family.
because part of it she gave away upon
charitable uses. and over half she very
honestly turned back to the receiver.
Surely. a debtor may not put generosity

Catholics ahead OF his obligation to his
creditors. nor may he give away round

Protection for Employees.

Ever since the beginning Of the furriers'
strike the Jacket establishment has been
the object OF rage in the ranks Of the
strikers. owing to the apparent eese with
which the company carried on its bushes
without the assistance OF its former en-
ployes. So threatening had the attitude
OF the disgruntled strikers become re-
Gently that the company decided 10 take
unusual precautions for the protection of
It's girl strike breakers. A part Of them
were provided with quarters at the Hotel
Aberdeen directly across the street, and
the remainder were taken TO and from
work in stages Policemen also have been
on guard morning and night at the en-
trance.
Last night when the time arrived for
the strike breaking girls TO come out, a
crowd of nearly one hundred strikers
surrounded the entrance in 32d street.
Patrolmen Mnnick. Hennessey and Cot
ter, who were on hand TO help the girls
into the stages and convoy the remainder
across the street TO the Aberdeen, did not
suspect trouble until a few minutes be-
fore the girls began to file out OF the
building Then. before they had time TO
call for help, the whole street was in an
uproar, and they were hurled headlong
against the building and nearly buried IN
der mass OF shriek!ng and scratching

A half dozen young women had made
q run from the entrance toward the
stages. Instantly the mob OF strikers
closed In on all sides. The three patrol
men fought their way to the side of one
OF the stages and tried to stem the tide
OF femininity. but succeeded only in being
scratched and beaten over the heads with
bags and parcels. Cotter, at the instance

clothing concern, with stores ut Nos.
265 and SAL Broadway, No ia East 18th
street and No. 1l9 West 42d street, which
has been consulting with creditors with
view Of reorganization, was petitioned
into bankruptcy yesterday. Judge Hand
appointed Samuel d. Leidesdorf receiver,
under bond of $4,000, with authority to
continue business for twenty days
Sixteen creditors. with claims aggre-
eating s95,599, and Francis w. Aymar
attorney for all stockholders, requested
the appointment of Mr.. Ledesdorf II is
alleged the corporation is insolvent and
admitted inability to pay its debts and
Willingness to be adjudged bankrupt
In the application for the appointment
OF receiver, which was made month
ago by Joseph Frankel among others,
IL was stated that the corporation had
defaulted on the payment of $4,000 cur
rent liabilities due prior to August |.
and the financial position was such that
1t would not be able TO pay these OBJ
hgations unless it became financed and
underwent reorganization. Efforts have
been made in that direction and to con-
serve the business intact
The finances of the company have been
considerably impaired by the withdrawal
of $4,000 by officers of the corporation
pursuant to a resolution voting the
amount to three officers constituting the
board of directors for services during 1871
The petitioner F'rankel alleged he was
informed that Frederick =. Foster, the
president, borrowed more than $1,000
which has been reduced to $4,000, and
that this loan has never been repaid, ex-
cept by charging the corporation, and
crediting Mr.. Fosters personal account
with aggregate amounts of the salaries
which he and the other two directors
voted themselves.
The liabilities amount, he stated, to
upward OF $4,000, and the assets are
estimated at about $4,000. The corpora
ton was incorporated on January ID, 1871,
with capital stock Of 100000, and pur-
chased the retail business of the old firm
of Hackett, Carhart e. Co. IT is entirely
independent of Hackett, Carhart Il co.

Companied by many Of his aids. made an
automobile tour Of the city. closing W
every such place and in some cases order
Ing the patrons of the resorts TO be

We're. however, who had received the tip
through mysterious channels and greeted
the Commissioner and his men with unc-
tuous smiles and assurances that they
always kept within the bounds of the
law"
In explanation of his action Commits
sioner Farley said that last week the
state Excise Department had been busily
at work Investigating certain places in
this city where. II is alleged. the pro-
-'-'''' - NV Aifhpi ldN law were DtlDb
violated. The principal offenders were
the cabaret shows. where the presence
Of paid performers to amuse the patrons
had the effect OF causing persons to
linger long after hours. In some cases
the doors of such places never closed.
AS result Of this investigation. de-
clared the Commissioner, evidence had
been secured against many places where
drinks were served from a bar which was
part Of the dining room and which was
not properly exposed, as was required by
law. These places. he said, should be
closed entirely and vacated at o'clock,
and he intended TO see that they were.
The Commissioner and his men en-
baTked in "A large touring car at the Hotel
Knickerbocker The first place visited
was the Green Turtle. at No ljj West
4ith street. Here the proprietor was or
Cered TO close the bar. which is separate
from the rest of the place. Thereupon
most of the patrons wandered out into
the night
The next place on the Commissioner =
calling list was George RectOr's. at
.. Broadway end 6lst street. The Commits
sioner was met at the entrance by Mr..
Rector himself, who assured the excise
man tina. the law would be obeyed most
faithfully.
At the Pekln Restaurant Broadway and
47th street the bar had not been closed
and cabaret show was in fun swing.
Two excise men were left there, with in
structiOns TO remain until the place was
closed.
Other resorts along the line were visited
and either the bars or the entire places

Judge Learned Hand, in the United
States Court. adjudged Martin j. Condor
q bankrupt Yesterday in accordance with
the recommendations OF McGrane COKE,
as referee. The Savoy Trust Company
and Louis c.. Hart. who had Judgment
liens against Condon's big country place
at Pelham Manor. had fought the case
bitterly since October. These two cred-
itors will now have to share proportion
ately with the others. Condons napiitieS
amount to nearly 100000. His country
place. valued at about 100000. Is practi-
cally his only asset.
Judge Hand found that within four
months Of the fling Of the amended petit
ton In bankruptcy, In May, 1911, Condor
had paid his son $500 as his monthly al
lowance, had paid bill of y. Altman &
Co. amounting TO 500, and had given
his wife $1,000. These the court consid-
cred preferential payments. and in MS
opinion. rendered with his decision. he
had some forceful comments TO make
concerning them.
With regard to the payment to the son.
he said:
Certainly II seems quite clear that
mans creditors may not be held OF IN

dren who have left his roof and are MAIN

This son married daughter OF big
Bill" Cummins. with whom Condor
was associated In the Carnegie Trust
Company. II was after the failure OF the
trust company, on January I. 1911. that
Condor made these preferential pay
ments. although that failure had involved
him and the whole Cummins crowd in a
financial collapse.

When the extra police arrived the three
officers capless and dishevelled. were in
the midst OF the fray, but fast losing
their ground. Patrolman Henessey. his
uniform torn and his neck scratched and
fiayed by the finger nails OF the enraged
women. was still on his feet near one of
the stages Cotter was in an equally bad
plight while Minnick's right eye was
fast closing from the terrific blow he had
received from the irOn-loaded handbag.
The reserves charged into the centre OF
the mob and began making arrests. This
frightened the leaders. who broke and
ran through 32d street and out into Fifth
avenue.
Such a crowd had collected about the
scene OF the battle that the police had
little trouble in rounding up their pris-
oners and bunding them into patro
wagons. The girls were taken to the
Tenderloin station and locked UP in cells
where they ragged and shouted until eX-
hausted Hannah Schwartz, OF No. 80
