TO TAKE CHARGE
WITHOUT SALARY

ooo, 900 Over Liabilities at
Creditors Meeting.

NEW YORK, July 24.-Deelsion to
continue the receivership of the Fl. b.
Ciafiin Company indefinitely, which
contemplates operation of the branch
stores throughout the country, was
reached by a meeting of 500 creditors
here today. The two receivers,
Messrs. Martindale and Juillard, were
congratulated on their work of un-
tangling the mix-up resultant on the
Claim failure, and reported more
than a million dollars in cash now on
hand with an apparent excess of
assets over liabilities of more than
$4,000, 900.
The creditors voted that If a third
receiver was needed the two men
appointed by the court should APP
point him, The receivers expressed
the belief that 1t would probably be
unnecessary to borrow money to con-
tinue the operations of the business.
Attorney O'Brlen, personal counsel
for Clafiin, read a statement from the
merchant declaring his paramount
wish was that all creditors of the II.
B. Clafiin Company and controlled
companies would be paid in full.
To that end, the attorney declared,
MT. Clafiin has stood ready to turn
over all his personal property, real
The creditors agreed with Claims
request that the stores and the Clafiin
OF ganization be maintained as at
present The receivers were given I'M
reserved powers to act.
In his statement read by Judge
O'Brien, John Claflin declared he is
willing and anxious to take full
charge of the working of the entire
company without salary. He said that
his long experience In the business
and the peculiar knowledge of the
ccmpany's affairs, probably equipped
him better than anyone else. He
stated that If it is the creditors wish
he will do the work in order to aid
their receivers. No action was taken
by the creditors on his offer.
Clafiin also urged that the receiver
ships of all the companies through
out the country controlled by the
Clafiin company be lifted as soon as
possible. He said that Il this is not
done that the business of the con-
Germs will suffer.

FATAL AT
SEA GRIT CAMP

niger, La Fonte and Richards were
able to go home unaccompanied. The
latter was slightly burned on the left
leg.
The Fifth regiment man was only
dazed and is none the worse for his
experience. Had the First regiment
been in camp there would no doubt
have been a big death list, but the
Newark guardsmen are out maneuv-
ering and there was only small de-
tail for guards in the First regiment
camp when the storm broke.
The tent in which the fatality &C.
Cured is next to the mess tent in the
first row following the Fifth Regi-

struck in the camp once. About eight

Damage in Jersey City

JERSEY CITY, July 24.-There was
a terrific wind and rain storm in Jer-
sey City shortly after o'clock yes
terday, but the damage was slight.
Hundreds of shop and factory men
and women on their way home frpm
work were caught in the rain and
were drenched to the skin before they
were able to seek shelter in stores
and doorways. The storm came up
so suddenly that many were not able
to get out of the rain before they
had been forced to run a block or
more.

Passaic Valley Damaged


PASSAIC. July 24.-The severe wind
and rain storm of yesterday after
noon did considerable damage to
farms along the Upper Passaic VAL
ley. Farmers in this section who
have large fields of corn found them
blown over and beat down by the
heavy rain, and it is very doubtful
IL the sun will bring them back to
their normal condition.
Hay growers in this section will
also meet with a heavy loss as the
present weather conditions will not
warrant it to be taken in after it Is
cut. The storm of yesterday caused
the most damage to hay growers as
the wind which preceded the rain
was so heavy that 1t overtopped hay
stacks and scattered them over large
areas When hay is put up in stacks
1t will stand great deal of rain be-
fore wetting through, but the heavy
wind scattered them in all directions.

mass Of newspapers, all bearing the

tired brain and sun strained eyes al
most refused the task that was set be-
fore. But from somewhere and some
how l gained courage, and plunged in
by stirling with the one on top-it was
the Oklahoma--O, there / go, | didn't
mean to call any names, but the
press work on that particular pour
nal was so poor that one could not
even properly translate the answers
to Booker Washington's article, ask
ing for better travelling accommoda-
lions for Negro passengers over GER
tain railroad lines; which was brave
ly undertaken. The Dallas Express
came in for a similar criticism while
the Boston Alliance and Conservative
Counsellor is void Of that harmon
ious toning with other parts of the
papers on account of too much front
page advertisement. In others there
we're similar and even more grievous
errors.
The colored papers that take first
rank in typographical cleanliness and
mechanical accuracy are the Amster-

Our readers are more sensitive to
literary abuse in a ace paper than
they are to the big dailies. l often
