LlEUT..GOv. CALLED POLICE
White Slave Investigation Committee
Holds Noisy Session.

Springfield, Il.-Lieut. Gov. Barrat
O'Hara called upon the police for pro-
lection at the hearing of the white slave
investigation committee Tuesday.
The room was filled with men and
women, witnesses and spectators, when
the meeting opened and the crowd was
hostile to the committee. When the re-
quest of two attorneys to be heard was
denied the spectators insisted that the
right be granted them.
1t seemed likely that the meeting
would develop into riot and Lieut-Gov.
OfHara and Senator Beall instructed one
of their investigators to call the police.
Several officers responded, and, after a
semblance of quiet had been restored,
the two attorneys representing the shoe
company where employees are being ex.
amined made another attempt to get =,
hearing. The crowd hooted and jeered
when the lawyers again were refused,
and it was some time before the pro-
ceedings could be resumed, and then only
when the two lawyers had left the room.

Illinois Senator Tells Head of Spring

State and Company Should
Be Driven Out.

Springfield, IlL.-After a session OF
the senate white slave commission,
Lieut.. Gov. O'Hara sent Il telegram 70
President Wilson and another TO Lieut.
Gov. Paynter OF Missouri. calling their
attention to the disclosures made here.
The telegram to President Wilson read;
AT q hearing of the Illinois senate
vice commission here, it appeared that
the conditions surrounding the employ,
ment of girls at the Springfield factory
of the international Shoe Company ap-
parently were the most open to criti.
cism of any so far discovered by this
commission. The revelations were so
astounding that Senator Neils JUL, q
Republican. ana the dean of our state
senate, openly and bitterly denounced
this corporation.
As | have been informed that this
corporation is supporting n lobby at
Washington in opposition to your pro
posed tariff laws on the grounds that
ii certain duties are removed the girl
workers in their factories will be
brought into competition with the cheap

ton should be called to the testimony
given here
Lieut.-Gov. O'Hara's telegram to tho
acknowledgement of Missouri was as
follows:
AT a meeting of the Illinois senate
vice commission it developed that the
girls employed in a Springfield factory
OF the International Shoe Company are
the victims of the worst industrial con
ditions that have yet come before this
commission. Mr.. Derby, the superin-
tendent OF the Springfield factory, stated
under oath that the International Shoe
Company is a $4,000, 900 corporation
and that its executive officers are rest
dents of Missouri.
"On behalf of Senator's Juul. Tossey,
Woodland and Beall, as well as of my
self. constituting the full membership of
our commission, | respectfully invite the
cooperation OF your Missouri senate
vice commission in a thorough and COM
plete investigation of the methods o.
this corporation"

NOT CANCEL DEBTS
SUPREME COURT HALDS CREDIT.
ORS CAN COLLECT.
COURT STOOD FIVE TO FOUR
Court Holds That Transfer by Stock
holders Fror Themselves to Them
selves Cannot Defeat Claim
of Non,Assessing Creditor.

Washington.-ln a decision of momen.
tous Importance, especially as to rail
roads, the supreme court Monday laid
down the general principle that a cred
itor of a corporation, not a party to
its reorganization, may hold it's success
or for his debt.
In this specific case the court, five to
four, in a decision which Justice Lur-
ton, who dissented, declared was
alarming held the Northern Pacific
Railway Company responsible for a
el25,0o0 Judgment against the North
ern Pacific Railroad Company, which it
succeeded, despite the fact that the
court expressly stated that no moral
wrongdoing was to be found in the re-
organization.
Corporation lawyers who heard the
decision declared it was a direct blow at
the practice of recognizing corpora
tons, to get rid of onerous contracts,
or escape payment to unsecured credit
ors. Its effect, they said, would he far
reaching.
The principle as laid down by JUS
tice Lamar was stated in this language {:
Corporations insolvent or financially
embarrassed often find it necessary to
scale their debts and readiust stock is
sues with an agreement to conduct the
same business VITA the same property
under a reorganization. This may be
done in pursuance to a private contract
between bondholders and stockholders,
and though the corporation property is
thereby Transferred to a new company
having the same shareholders, the
transaction would be binding between
the parties.
But, 81 Course, such ! transfer BY
stockholders from themselves to them
selves cannot defeat the claim of a
non-assenting creditor. As against him
the sale is void in equity, regardless of
the motive with which it is made. For,
if such contract reorganization was con-
summated in good faith and in ignor-
ance of the existence of the creditor.
yet when he appeared and established
his debt the subordinate interest OF the
old stockholders would still be subject
to his claim in the hands of the reor-
ganized company.
There is no difference in principle If
the reorganization instead of being eff
~fectuated by private sale is consum-
mated by a masters deed, under "a con.
sent decree,

Amount of Water Is
Pouring Through.

Natchez, MISSIONER Lake St. John
.evee, i'll Concordia parish, ten miles
above Ferriday, one of the strongest and
soundest in the Fifth Louisiana levee dis
trict, broke Sunday morning and the
Mississippi river poured its flood waters
into Concordia parish with a roar that
could be heard for miles.
No lives nave been lost so far. The
gap this evening was n half mile wide
and twenty-five feet deep. The crevasse
will flood Concordia, the lower part Of
Tensas, which lies on the north, and
parts Of Franklin and Catahoula par.
ishes on the west. 1t will find is way
back into the Mississippi through Red
river, going through Lake st. John,
Buckner's bayou, Tensas and Black
rivers.
The water has backed up to Water

fourishing town of 1000, the junction
point for the st. Louis, Iron Mountain
& Southern railroad, the New Orleans s.
Northwestern, Memphis, Helena & Louis

Vidalia, with a population of 1000, just
across the river from Natchez, is endan-
gered. The one chance to save V;dalia
is to fill the gaps in the railroad en-
bankment at the rear of the town.
Approximately 10000 persons will be
driven from their homes as a result OF
this crevasse, which will flood a terri.
tory embracing about 900 square miles.
The property damage will total several
hundred thousand dollars.
