BRIVOUL PLEA
is NOT GUILTY
Former Manager of Packer
House is BaiIsd Gut by
Former Sheriff Quacksnbush
CREDITORS OF HOTEL MEET

Jean Brivoul, former manager of
the Packer House. appeared before
Judge Peter F. Daily this morning
with a plea of not guilty to the
charge of embezzlement, preferred
by Sheriff Bollschweiler in a warrant
sworn to by the sheriff last week,
Brlvoul was admitted to $500 bail,
which was furnished by former sher-
i'll William H. Quackenbush.
Brivoul has retained Russell Wat
son as counsel, and intends to await
the action Of Mr.. Bollschweiler in
pressing the charges against him.
Briyoul told correspondent this
morning that he had not embezzled
any of the Packer House funds; that
he had appropriated to himself
S420, which he claims was due him
on back salary at the rate of $500
per month. He said that the cash
register he had shipped back to the
headquarters of the National Cash
Register Company in New York after
the company had agreed to allow
the Packer House Company 5000 on
same. This, Brivoul claims he in
tended to use to help pay $500
note pending against the hostelry.
The former cashier also claims
that the copper pots which he took
from the hotel were his property;
that he had brought them to the
hostelry from another hotel. Mr..
Bollschweiler stated this morning
that the utensils were a part of Bri-
vouPs investment in the company
and therefore the property of the
Packer House Company.
Brivoul declared that after leaving
Perth Amboy he had visited the Ma
tional Cash Register Company, and
asked them to return the register if
the other stockholders desired same,
rather than the 5000 cash payment.
The ex-manager claims that the
company still owes him money, and
that he has now a good deal of linen
at the hostelry from another hotel.
Brivoul's leaving has caused a
climax of financial crises for the
hostelry, and 1t is believed that the
company will ask for a receiver to
adjust the affairs. A meeting Is
being held this afternoon by some OF
the largest creditors of the house,
and those interested in the COM
pany. AS result of this meeting
either a voluntary or involuntary
petition In bankruptcy may be made.
In that instance the receiver would
have charge of adjusting accounts
with Brivoul, and thu warrant Of
Sheriff BollschWeiler would be
dropped.

Inc, from all indications, are pre-
pairing to locate big steel plant at
Sewaren as the destination for the
iron ore which they intend to bring

of the Board of Trade communicated
with the company in question. He
offered the services of the Board OF

In the reply from the company,

Dear Sir:-Your letter of the

we beg to thank you for your offers
of cooperation and help.
Replying to your request for the
details of our plan would say that it
is a little early to make this public,
as there are still a number of things
to be determined. In general way
an article which appears in the Iron
Trade Review under date of October
10th, will give the information which
perhaps you desire.
THE completion of the Champlain
Canal has, as you have said, large
bearing upon the matter The best
information we have is that this por-
tion of the New York State Barge
Canal system will be completed in

the whirling fringes Of which extended
into the Atlantic and halfway across
the continent, caused heavy gales in
many state west and south of this city
and snow and hail squalls interfered
with the telegraph wires to the south
and west.
The storms fell with crushing force
on the telegraph companies. Wind,
wet snow and sleet made a combina
ton that snapped hundreds of wires
and carried many poles down all
through the lake region west OF Buff
falo and Pittsburgh.
Utica, N. Y, Nov. 10.-This section
was swept by severe storm and con
siderable property damage In the out
lying sections resulted. Traffic on the

York Central lines the storm toppled
over huge tree that fell directly
across the track and into which a
work train crashed. A few minutes
afterward the locomotive and one car
were derailed and plunged into ditch,
costing the lives of three men. The
victims were Engineer Benjamin Hail.
Fireman John Case and Brakeman A
