CREDITORS WANT HOWELL
 DECLARED BANKRUPT
Petition Presented to District Court
 at Hartford.

TStltIon TTeSented 10 DISprlct court
 at Hartford.
 A creditors petition was filed in the United States district court at Hart ford Monday, asking that George D. Howell of Hartford be adjudicated bankrupt The creditors bringing the petition are the Mechanic & Metals National Bank of New York, the Corn Exchange National bank of Philadel phia and the Franklin National bank ot Philadelphia
 The claim of the Mechanics & Met als National bank is for money loaned to the McCrum- Howell company, the claim against MT. Howell being by virtue of his indorsement. before de- livery, of a promissory note for S5,000 executed by the McCrum- How ell company, dated October 21, 1911, payable to the order of ourselves" on April r. 1912, at the National Park bank of New York, indorsed in blank by the payee, the McCrum- Howell company and taken by the Mechanics & Metals National bank for value be- fore maturity, on which no part has been paid. The claim of the Corn Exchange bank is almost identical with that of the Mechanics & Metals National bank, the note being for $5,O00, dated October IS, 1911, payable April 25. 1912, at the National Park bank.
 The claim of the Franklin National bank is also on MT. HowelTs indorse- ment on a McCrum- Howell note for 5000, dated October 3, 1911, payable March IS, 1912, at the National Park bank.
 These petitioners aIIege that MT Howell has committed acts of bank | ruptcy, in that he did on March IS. | 1912, or whereabouts, make together l with one Lloyd G. McCrum. a general | assignment for the benefit of his creditors and for the benefit of the creditors to McCrum, to Oscar L. Tell | ing of Pittsburgh, as trustee, the properties and stocks so conveyed and | transferred by Howell and McCrum to Telling being described in a dcelara- ton of trust signed and acknowledged at Philadelphia on March IS by Mir. Telling and agreed to by Messrs. How = ell and McCrum under their respec- | tive signatures.

ceedings in the ordinary courts, or through some special tribunal appoint ed for that purpose?
 9-If the latter alternative is taken, what should be the nature of such tribunal?
 In the course of the conference Chairman Russell stated that there seemed to be no controversy between manufacturers and employees as to the need of some act governing compensa- tion to be paid employees for injuries received while at work All want an act of some kind. Laws of other states were spoken of in general way, in- cluding Massachusetts, New Jersey, Rhode Island, and the United States act. Messrs. Kelley, Grierson, Krohn and Beebe spoke upon the working mems side, and it was brought out that the state federation of labor is drafting bill, which the commission CTS said they would be glad to see.
 MT. Tracy brought up the point of the carelessness often shown by the employe when the manufacturer pro- vided safeguards for dangerous work. and said he thought there would be no objection to bill which should accom- plish equity in the matter. He sug- gested the possibility of the employer paying a large share and the emplcye a smaller proportion towards the es- tablishment of a fund, but said he feared that if the state were to pay all this would be one way of removing any safeguards to protect the em- ployer from the carelessness of the workman.
 { Special emphasis was placed upon one or two points by the commission as desirable to be well considered in any recommendations for such a bill These concerned how such a work mems insurance could be enforced or collected, and whether payments to beneficiaries ought to be made in a lump sum or in installment periods. Another point was as to whether any safeguard should be provided to pre- vent a claimant from agreeing to ac- cept compensation without submitting his case to the operation of any law that might be adopted
 Tn adjourning Chairman Russell said the commission felt the conference had been a helpful one and had furnished the commission with useful informa- tion.

Confederate Veteran Heard
Last Bugle Call Friday
Night.
WAS ILL SEVERAL MONTHS
Was Born In Virginia and
Came to HOpkinSyilIe Is
Years Ago.

In the passing Of Charles F. Lacy.
who died Saturday at 500 p. M. the
city has lost one of its best citizens.
After confinement at home for sew
eral months. Mr.. Lacy had to pass
the most of the past two months in
his chair owing to difficulty in
breathing caused by heart affection,
which caused his death. Through
his long period of invalidism he was
accomplishing and patient.
Mr.. Lacy died at the age of 81
years. He was born in Goochland
county. Va. His mother is still liv-
ing and is now in her 85th year. His
father was William Lacy, who fought
through the wsrbetween the States
with the rank Of Captain. Five
daughters and three SONS were born
to Capt. and MS. William, Lacy, all
of whom are living excepting the
one who passed away Saturday.
When the deceased entered the
ranks of the Southern army he was
a mere lad, but he made good sol
disr and staid with bis company I'm.
till the close of the war. He came
to this city. we understand. about
1888 or 1889. For many years past
he had been in the tobacco business,
his last contract being with the A.
merican Snuff Company as a buyer.
Mr.. Lacy was quiet. unassuming
man. honest to a penny and a chris
tian gentleman. He had no enemies
but hosts of friends. He was de-
voted husband and loving father.
His wife and four children survive
MIN. His children are: Mrs. Har-
ry Harton, of this city; Mrs. James
Edwards. of this county. and Misses
Charlie and Hattie Lacy.
In the absence of the pastor of the
Ninth Street Christian church, of
which Mr.. Lacy was for many years
member, the funeral services were
conducted by Rev. H. Clay Smith at
the home. 927 South Virginia street,
Sunday afternoon. The active pail
bearers were with one exception,
Confederate Veterans. and some of
them comrades-in-arms of the de.
ceased. namely: Nat Gather. M. H.
Nelson, Geo. T. Herndon, DR.. W. E
Reynolds. Judge w. P. Winfree and
George E. Randle. The burial was
in Riverside Cemetery.

Another Unsuccessful Try.Out
By Aviator Gray Last
Friday.
AVIATOR GETS SHAKE-.UP.
The Machine Is Badly Wrecked
And May Be Rebuilt
Altogether.

j. P. Gray, the Aeronaut, who has
been here for week or more, made
a slight flight with Judge Prowse's
small Aeroplane last Friday. He
did not go over so feet in the air and
when he descended at the far end Of
the field he brought the machine to
earth. and in doing so he had a close
call for his life. "a
Instead of letting the machine
glide to where he wanted to land he
came almost straight down and the
rear end struck the earth in place of
landing on the runners. The ma.
chine was thrown forward and the
aeronant, who is hydroplane OPP
orator, was thrown out and landed
about eighteen feet from the MAJ
chine. Fortunately he was not ~
jured but the machine was so badly
wrecked that it may be necessary 70
altogether rebuild it. Had the ms
chine turned over and caught him
he would no doubt have been killed,
or at least been seriously injured.
The damage to the motor was slight
The machine had been overhauled
and was thought to be in perfect
condition. and really was, but Mr..
Gray's knowledge Of hydroplanes.
we are told. is greater than that Of
aeroplanes. In manipulating the
machine for descent the knowledge
Of knowing how and when to glide
is altogether essential. Hence the
straight downward course Of the
aeroplane is extremely dangerous
and the wonder is that Mr.. Gray
was not killed and the motor ruined.
