appropriation from the State for
manual training specific appropria-
ton of $1,000 was made by the board
for this purpose. The State will con-
tribute a like amount.
The budget as adopted, showing a
comparison of last years appropria-
tons. is as follows:

Adams Appoints rockwell.

Referee Adams, who, after an in
vestigation, found out that the bank
rupt's schedules had been prepared
in Crocker's office and the name of
Attorney John A. Bernard attached
to the papers by one of Crocker's
clerks, refused to consider the re-
quest and appointed w. Locke Rock
well as receiver.
Attorney Croker claimed on the
stand yesterday that he had at
tached Bernard's name to the papers
only after Bernard had told him to
do so 'as he was too busy" Bernard
was supposed to be acting as attor-
ney for the bankrupt and Crocker, he
himself says, was acting only as at
torney for the Gill brothers. but ad-
mits that he recommended Bernard to
Cook as good attorney for the bank
rupt firm. Bernard denies he gave
Croker permission to sign the pa
pers.
Asked about the check for $125
which Crocker had cashed, he said
that it was given to him by Cook to
pay the expenses Of filing the bank
ruptcy petition. He paid the fees
and the messenger, he claims, and
was TO give the remainder to Bernard
for his fee after they had reached an
agreement as to how much Croker
was to receive from Bernard for his
work in preparing the schedules.
Crocker says he has not conferred
with Bernard yet, and no agreement
has been reached. In preparing the
schedules Cfocker claims that he was
working for Bernard. and not for the
bankrupt.
Referee Adams scored Crocker for
his activity in the matter in appear
ing. as he claimed, for both the bank
rupt and a creditor.
Crocker now claims that the bank
rupt company has lost $4,000 worth
of contracts as the result of the APP
pointment of a receiver who was not
familiar with the company conditions.
After the conditions had all been
made clear by Cook today, Referee
Adams ruled that Crocker did not act
correctly in the matter, because he
failed to put all the facts before the
referee.
"If he wanted to encourage a re-
organization of the company, why
didn't he say so and give me the data,
and I would have taken means to
bringSit about. Instead, he beat
about the bush and tried to conceal
the facts"

COOK UNRAVE[S
BANKRUPT M|X-UP
Explains that Attorney crookel
Helped Him to FINANCE"
Company.

Charles F. Cook, of the bankrupt
firm of Earl & Cook Company OF
81 Orange street, explained on the
witness-stand in Bankruptcy Court
today some of the tangles which oc-
Cured in the filing of the company's
bankruptcy petition. He said Attor-
ney Ronald p crocker first became
connected with the case when he
tried to help the witness finance the
company
Croker yesterday was scored by
Referee Adams for attempting to rep
resent both the bankrupt and cred
itor.
This came about, Cook explained.
because Crocker wanted friendly
receiver appointed who could take
care of the contracts, amounting in
all to more than 100000. which the
company held.
Croker, according to his own
story, examined the company's books
and found that it was hopelessly in
solvent. He then suggested that a
receiver be appointed and called in
one of the Gill brothers, who con-
scented to have bankruptcy petition
filed in his name.
The petition was prepared by
Croker on behalf of James b. Gill
& Co., who were represented as
friendly creditors" That same day
Crocker also addressed Referee
Adams, asking that either Charles
F. Cook, secretary and treasurer. of
the bankrupt company, or Warren 9.
Biggin treasurer of the Liberty Trust
Company, be appointed receiver. This
was desired, he explained today, so
that the contracts of the company
might be protected.

SPENDING ROAD MONEY.

It required no little time and effort in the state of Maine to secure the S2OO0.0O0 appropriation for the good roads movement. Now it is concerned with the equally important question of expenditure. and this is causing a. va riety of opinions. not only as to where but as to how 1t shall be spent The big city interests the industrial men and the summer resort element all want the improvements made in diff ferent directions Still others are de- sirous that the money be expended in causing general benefit to all the inn portant roads of the state That they may need it only represents a condi- ton existing in many states, but such a use of the money which is to be se- cured by bonding the state is against good business policy.

NAVY accommodations.

There is much food for congressional thought in the Teeomm endations of the navy general beard of which Ad- miral Dewey is at the head, when 1t urges more careful consideration of the navy needs and additions in or der to give this country forty eight battleship navy by 1920. The recom- mendation is for four ships this year, which by the way it is pointed out will only replace four which should be removed from the reserve list. as they are out of date and have served their usefulness.
 That the report is likely to receive slim consideration is indicated by the attitude of the democrats in the past and the statement of Secretary Dan- iels in his annual report that two bat tleships are all that can be afford ed at this time. Tfpon this ground and the insistent demand for economy in naval expenditures that outlays could be made elsewhere such as for needless public buildings, and the ad- vocacy of the naval holiday idea, does the secretary consider he is fol- lowing the middle course of wis dom"
 What the situation demands under the existing conditions, and what will be approved to meet the requirements will oe far apart. unless the minds of the congressional majority as at pres ent constituted are greatly changed. This is indicated by the strong oppo sition which has been manifested to all department recommendations for the last two sessions of congress. The utter lack of sympathy with the naval plans seems to indicate a. disregard for the necessity and value Of a strong navy as the hest assurance of peace, I and the maintenance of our position and prestige among the leading na- tiorS
