Des Moines, Jan. 24.-Creditors Of G
u. York, Colfax grocer, who figured
prominently in the investigation into
the death Of NJ. B. Wheelock, ColfaS
banker, and later was arrested on a
white slave charge, filed petition in
the United States district court yester-
day asking that he be adjudged bank
rupt.
York filed an answer to the petition
through his attorneys, admitting his
insolvency. The creditors who insti-
tuted the action are Langan Bros,
Todd & Kraft and Davidson Bros, all
of Des Moines. Their claims aggre-
gate an amount somewhat in excess OF
$1,000, according to J. D. Wallingford,
attorney.
H. H. Whitaker, referee in bank
ruptcy, appointed David r. Trip.
mayor Of ColfaX as receiver for York s
store. He also authorized Mr.. Trip
to continue the business until further
orders.
Stock Valued at Only $500.
Attorney Wallingford said last night
that the value of York's grocery at Col
fax was estimated at $4,000. York ad
mitted in writing several days ago, he
says. that he was unable to pay his
bills as they came due. which consti
tutes an act of bankruptcy.
Yorks store was closed temporarily
a few DAYS ago by Henry Gore. a de-
putty sheriff of Jasper county. at the
instance of the Citizens State bank,
which secured a writ of attachment
against it to satisfy the principal and
interest on a note which he gave on
Dec. 10, 1906. The amount sued for
was s2,146.55. The note originally was
for s1,61s.
Now that action has been brought
to force York into bankruptcy, it is
possible for receiver to operate his
store. The claim of the Citizens State
bank will be filed in the federal court
During the inquiry into the death OF
Cashier Wheelock it was stated that
the bank carried an overdraft of 500
600 for the grocer. Whether an at
tempt will be made to collect on a por-
ton Of this amount is not known.
York is at liberty at present on
bonds Of $4,000 which he furnished af-

It was reported few days ago that
federal officers had gone to Kansas
City to bring Mrs. jackson to Des
Moines, but SO far this has not been
done.

outfit that enables him to receive mes
saRes from Atlantic coast points, CUBA
and from steamers in the Atiahtic

in ,perfecting his apparatus 10 such an
extent that 1t will pick up messages
from long distances. ;,
| After installing new tuning COIL
young Snyder managed 70 receive
message sent out by the government
station at Arlington across the river
from Washington, d. c. This message
was sent out to stations all over the
country giving the accurate time from
| the government observatory Ihe Des
Mones boy has succeeded IN receiving
! this message every night this week at
o'clock sharp, the time being sent Out
from the Arlington station at ~ O'Clock
there
Snyder also received many other
| messages, but they were sent SO last
that he was unable to read them. he
secured the services of local man VINO
had had experience IN wireless oper-
ating and Immediately secured results.
The first message received by the
two wireless enthusiasts was from the
waS -s.---~.ion. at Key West. Key west

: naval station in Cuba.
Finally the wireless apparatus picked
up new tone and the tuning coil was
: adjusted to receive it. The message
was from the steamer Lusitania, sew
; eral hundreds Of miles out in the At
lantic ocean.
Young Snyder became interested in
wireless three or four years ago. His
father has encouraged aim in every
way and has given him all the finan-
cial aid necessary providing he built
his own apparatus. The boy built the
apparatus with the exception of a new
tuning coil.
The sending and receiving instru-
,ments are located in workshop in the
basement of the Snyder home at 3407
Forest avenue. The aerial is stretched
from the roof of the Snyder home to a
tree in a neighbours yard.

OF lnsuring the farmer good income
from his beets, even in years when the
sugar content is low, as sometimes
happens Under the old plan the
farmer had to take larger chance on
the season. Under the new plan the
factory does the gambling and the
farmer knows precisely what to figure
on.
And, according to Mr.. Smith, the
farmers like this arrangement so well
that they are eagerly signing contracts

Moreover-again according to Smith
