Robert G. Houston.
For more than year Judge At

was member of the Princeton Club.
In 1876 he married Miss Gertrude
Oakley and the union was blessed

Houston was eulogized today by As
sistant Prosecutor Martin P. O'Con-
nor and resolution of regret was
entered on the court minutes.

health for some time. but death came
quickly and was a great shock to
the members of his family. He was
sheriff from 1899 to 1902 and served
also in the City Council, the Assem-
bly, and the Board of Freeholdera.
Four sons and a widow survive.

]. 0. WARD BEFORE
BANKRUPTCY COURT
Orange Man Has Liabilities OF
$685. and Assets
of $25.

With liabilities of $sS,500 and as
sets scheduled as only $25, Josiah
Otis Ward. of 81 State street, Or
ange, a voluntary bankrupt, was ex-
amined In the bankruptcy court to-
day before Referee Edwin G. Adams
by Attorney Charles Blaney, of New
York, representing the First National
Bank of Chelsea, Mass, an unsecured
creditor, for 100000.
Ward was formerly associated with
the firm of j. o. Ward & Co. and
later with Ward & Huntington, botn
firms large importers in New York
city. He has number of wealthy
relatives in this State and in New
York, and Attorney Blaney is con-
Quoting a rigid examination OF the
bankrupt in an attempt to discover II
he has not more assets than are
given in his schedule.
At present the bankrupt is work.
ing with the firm of Hageman d
Ward. in New York, as a buyer.
On the stand today he said that
at times his firm made $4,000 a year.
but he could not remember what
wears those were. He said also that
he gave his wife some money from
the first firm, but did not remember
Just how much 1t was.
Referee Adams asked him II ne
could say whether it was $1,000 or
500. 900, and he said he could not
tell $50 exactly" rs it was quite a
long while ago and he could not re-
member back so far.
The bankrupt failed to remember
many things which Attorney BlaneS
thought he ought to know, and ne
asked Referee Adams to certify Ware
in contempt of court If he persisted
in saving he did nots know" or "dit
not remember" Referee Adams !ther
warned the witness of the penalty
he risked in making such answers.
Referee Adams asked the witness
If he could produce the stubs from
his checkbook, and the latter replied
that he ibid not know where they
were and lately he had not Kept ar
account on the stubs"
It was at this stage that the referee
severely scored the witness.
"Bankrupts are the only persons
know of who do not keep their check
account on the stubs of the check
book or who cannot locate their bank
books or passbooks. If they have KEPT
them they generally have cleaned
house just before the bankruptcy pro-
ceedings were entered and the books
disappeared"
Ward filed his voluntary petition
on May IL and William P. Sutherland
was appointed trustee. On May ii
Attorney Blaney received a judgment
against Ward in New York for up
wards of $4,000 which covered notes
made by the bankrupt before 19oi

FIGHTS DIVIDEND
or M|N|NGC
Argument Heard Before Vice.
Chancellor Over Copper
Stock.

Argument on whether or not a
dividend of $40 share shall be de-
clared by the Old Dominion Copper
Mining and Smelling Company, of
this State, on the 10000 shares of
its outstanding stock. was had to-
day before vice-Chancellor Howell
on the return of a rule to show
cause.
The order to show cause was grant
ed on a bill, affidavits and c hibits
which altogether comprises 142 type
written pages, so necessarily the vice.
chancellor reserved decision.
Godfrey NJ Hyams, former man
ager of the Old Dominion Company
OF New Jersey, who holds 3,156 shares
of the stock, is resisting the pay
ment of the dividend on the ground
that the company intends to use for
such payment the proceeds of what
is known as the "Bige1ow DEGREES"
Hyams opposes the use of money
from the "Bigelow DEGREES" because,
he says, $1.100,0o0 of the moneys re-
ceived under the DEGREES represent
capital and not surplus to be used
as dividends.
Edward NJ. Collie, representing Hy-
ans, contended that to pay the pro-
posed $40 dividend before final hear
ing in the case would result in dis
sipation of the large fund beyond re-
demption should it be decided at the
final hearing that the money was not
legally subject to distribution.
The case will be up for final hear
ing on September %, % and "a, when
the bill swas filed, the parties con-
scented that a rule to show cause why
an injunction should not issue to hold
up the distribution of the Bigelow de-
crees should be indefinitely continued,
the proposed distribution having been
stayed. 1t was agreed. however, that
either party could bring on the rule
to show cause. and today's argument
was pursuant to that notice given by
Judge Gilbert collins, of Jersey City,
counsel for the defense.

ORDERS PARMLY TO STOP
SIGNING TEMPORARY BONDS

Opposed to the system of Comp
troller Tyler Parmly in placing his
signature to temporary loan bonds
of the city while they are yet in a
blank state, Mayor Jacob Haussling
today issued orders to Mr.. Parmly
to discontinue the practise.
Within the past few months Mr..
Parmly has been called away from
the city at frequent intervals, and it
is claimed that he signed the bonds
while they were yet in an embryonic
stage to prevent delay in renewing
those which fell due during his alb
sence. 1t was pointed out by the
mayor, in what was said to be a
rather stormy interview, that Mr..
Parmly's practise might eventually
lead him into serious consequences.

DEATH COMES TO
JOSEPH ". ELLOR
Former Surrogate Dies at Brad
ley Beach Today-Pre-
diets His End.

Former Surrogate Joseph W. Ellor,
formerly of East Orange, died today
at his Bradley Beach hotel, where he
had made his home for the last ten
years, since he completed his five
year term as surrogate.
Only a week ago, Mr.. Ellor, making
a visit to his former associates and
friends in East Orange and this city,
forecasted his death. He was so
years old. He had been in bad health
for some time. but the news Of his
death was a shock to those who>had
talked to him on his visit.
Mr.. Ellor had lived in East Or
ange practically all his life, until he
built the hotel at Bradley Beach and
went there Entering politics as a
young man he took lively interest
in the government of his home town
and was elected and reelected twice
to the old township committee. on
which he proved 10 be one of the
keenest workers for the advancing
of the town.
Later on, though holulnB no oHlce
he still fought for civic betterment
and it was with pride he watched the
growth of East Orange to its present
size. Before his candidacy for sur
rogate he was candidate for the
Republican nomination Cor the office
of sheriff and again for county clerk.
In both instances he, was defeated.
In his run for surrogate he defeated
Horace Stetson.
Mr. Ellor was a halter. He was d
son of William Ellor, sand during his
East Orange career he lived in the
First ward section of the town. He
was a member of Bloomfield Lodge,
F. and A M. Four children, Edward,
George, William and May, survive
him.
Former Mayor of East Orange
William Cardwell, was one of the
friends of the dead man, who had
welcomed him back a week ago. Mr..
Ellor told him that he didn't have
long to live and exacted Mr.. Card
wells promise to visit him at Brad
ley Beach within a short time.

mo right, but of which he could have
access any time he desired, Is simply
a stipulation to transfer the glass plant
flor 1920, 900, which was the lowest sum
the bondholders instructed us TO take.
That sum included the shortage we
found on the books. Before We could
have accepted any lower sum we
would have been obliged to call
meeting and obtain the consent OF SO
zper cent. of the bondholders. But
enough had already been lost to the
Hinvestors in these securities, and we
smade a business tender. We invite
the closest scrutiny of that instru-

books when the concern went into the
hands of receiver and found
shortage that was more than $4,000.
and which, we were told, would reach
$4,000. It was covered by duplicate
= entries. which were traced by the ex-
pert accountants with difficulty.
There was no thought of prosecution
I'VE wanted that sum made good,
and we did this in the interest of all
the bonoholders who appointed US a
committee to get the property off
their hands. The bondholders stipu-
lated the figure at which we would
make the transfer, and If there is any
conspiracy in that, then all the hold
ers Of the securities Of this concern
are in IT.
