EXPLAINS STAND IN
BANKRUPTCY CASE
Attorney Tells of Part He
Played in Election of Ber-
koW Trustee.

Max Sheinhart. a New York at
torney, who appeared in Bankruptcy
Court here as counsel for some
creditors of David Berkow, has
signed a statement purporting to be
his true position in that case When
the election of a trustee for Berkow
was held before Referee Edwin G.
Adams the court threw out several
claims presented by Mr.. Sheinhart as
ineligible for voting purposes.
At the same meeting the referee
called Charles Elm, attorney for the
bankrupt, and asked him to explain
certain alleged Irregularities concern
ing the presentation of the claims.
At the conclusion of MIR. Films ex-
animation Referee Adams announced
the claims in question would not be
permitted to figure in the election.
The election was held on February
10 last.
Following is the statement signed
by Mr.. Sheinhart:
II herewith desire to state that
there was no well-laid plan to con-
troll the election of a trustee by me
as attorney representing creditors of
the said bankrupt.
THAT the proceeding had before
,.the referee on that day consisted OF
myself filing about twenty-five
caims1> eighteen of which We're for
merchandise creditors and four for
money loaned.
THE cohrt heard technical objec-
lions made by me against the claims
filed by Samuel Heyman, an attor-
ney, of Jersey City, and also techni-
cal objections made by Samuel Hey
man against the claims filed by me,
and the referee refused to accept and
file the claims of the money lent
creditors
THE number of claims filed by
Samuel Heyman exceeded the NUM-
Der of claims which [ had, and there
fore the trustee suggested by Samuel
Heyman was duly elected.
'There was no contention made at
this hearing that any claims were fake
claims, or that these claims had been
manipulated for the purpose of Sc
lecting a trustee favorably inclined
toward the bankrupt nor was any
assertion made that all the claims
represented by me were arranged in
the office of Mr.. Elm. attorney for
the bankrupt. As a matter of fact
all claims represented by me,
with the exception of the money lent
claims, We're prepared in my office or
at the office of the Confectioners'
Mercantile Agency in New York city.
AT the nomination for trustee |
nominated former Judge Frank j..
Higgins, of Jersey City, reputable
attorney, who | believe would act
for the best interests of the creditors.
"a transcript of the testimony
taken at this hearing will bear me
out in whatever | have stated"

Drawn together by the law of vibra'

THE RAIDERS IN FLIGHT

1t looks now as If the postoffice
spoils grab would fail in the house of
representatives The heather have
ragged to no purpose and the jack
potters have imagined a vain thing.
Judge Moons vagaries have made no
impression on the committee on rules
which has refused to report special
order permitting the grab raiders to
be attached to the postoffice appro.
priation bill.
President Wilson's threat to veto
the bill if passed with the raided has
put the spoils hunters on the run. II
is always thus. The congressman who
wants to repeal the civil service law
piecemeal are always bold when there
is no real opposition from the Execu
tive in sight. But when they see that
they cannot sneak their little schemes
through they take to the woods. They
cannot afford to face conflict with
public opinion, such as would be
brought on by Presidential veto.
Dozens of times the house of repre-
sentatives has voted to withhold the
salaries of the civil service commits
sioners. But that decision was always
reached in committe of the whole
where no roll call is possible. Wher
| it came to voting in the house tht
adverse majority vanished. Presiden
Wilson is getting accustomed to tht
ropes in Washington. If he had realiz
ed how cowardly the jackpotters are
he could easily have forestalled ths
raids they got through with his sui
ferance in the tariff and other bills

The Ocala Banner says that Hon. L.
S. Light of Marion county is being
urged to run for congress against
Congressman Frank Clark The Ban
ner says that Mr.. Light is a farmer
and is in clos etouch with the farm
ers and has been successful as a poll
tician, as far as he has gone, having
been twice elected to the legislature.
He has been more successful in open
respect than many famous statesmen
in the fact that he has always poIled
every vote in his home precinct. Mr..
Light would probably run a good race.
He is well informed, honest as the
day is long and as persistent as
weasel. Lead, kindly Light; we are
with you.-Orlando Sentinel.

BIRTHDAY ANNIVERSARY

Mr.. John Dunn Buckalew, a former
citizen, who since parting with his
possessions in our city has been max
ing us annual winter visits, celebrated
his 83rd anniversary Tuesday.
The day was an ideal one and Mr..
Buckalew was the recipient of many
good wishes.
1t has been more than thirty years
since he first came to Ocala, and the
friends that he met here then, and the
new ones he has made since, look to
his coming with a great deal of
pleasure.
His friends will be glad to know
that although exceeding the biblical
limit by more than a half score of
years, he is still blithe and agile and
in the enjoyment of vigorous health
and bids fair to celebrate many more
birthdays among his Ocala friends.

GORRlE'S STATUE READY FOR

the statue of Dr. John Gorrie, the
inventor of artificial ice manufacturer
to be placed in statuary hall.
For several Gays past Senator Y. P
Bryan and Congressman Emmett

Florida delegation in congress have
been busy with details for the event
Resolutions authorizing congress to
accept the statue have been introduc-
ed and passed and about all that re-
mains now is to complete the details.
February will probably be the
date that will see the statue to DR..

ONE THING OR ANOTHER

Generally speaking, every citizen
has the right and it is his duty to
place under arrest any person he
may see breaking the law He has
that right, and that its his duty, but
it is seldom exercised because the
person on whom the duty would fall
would be subjecting himself to repri-
sal from the arrested person. We
delegate the duty Of making arrests
to the police authorities, says the
Miami Herald.
Very few men have the courage
to stop the violation of law unless it
is a very aggravated case in which
instant action is necessary. Neither
do men like to make complaint TO
officers of violations of law which
may come under their observation
This is also the occasion, often OF
undesirable reprisal from those who
are finally arrested and punished.
The average citizen does not care
to bring upon himself the inconven
fence and the slight odium involved
in the taking upon himself the duties
of the police. He regards it as of
| ficiousness and SO do the majority
of the people.
But there are occasions when il
would seem that certain private citi
zens cannot excuse themselves fol
not bringing complaints against those
whom they know to be violating the
law. If man takes it upon himself
to charge publicity that law is being
violated, if he criticises publicity the
officers for not enforcing the law
and then sees specific cases of viola
ton, it is his duty to make complaint
at once.
! II he does not do so, he place:
himself in the position of one who
does not dare to take the RESPONSE
bility which he insists shall be as
sumed by others. He either should
remain quiet on the subject of Ian
violation or he should see TO it thai
the law is enforced.-key West

MAGNIFICENT ADDRESS AT THE
TEMPLE THEATER

At the Temple theater last night
Rev. George r. Stuart of Tennessee,
a splendid gentleman and gifted ora
tor, delivered his famous lecture, In
Tune With the Age
Rev. Stuart was introduced by DR..
Crook of Jacksonville, president of the
Florida Anti-Saloon League, who is
himself a most pleasing and enter
tanning speaker.
This was magnificent temperance
address, Mr.. Stuart being here under
the auspices of the Anti-Saloon Lea.
que of Florida. He has given and will
| give during his stay in this state his
| splendid lecture for temperance IN
sixteen different cities.
His lecture was very fine one as
we'll as a most convincing one for the
temperance cause. He is most de
lightful speaker, and his lecture. be
sides stating many facts and figures
was interspersed with great deal OF
humor and wit.
Mr.. Stuart says that the Anti-Sa
loon League of America and the w. Z
IT. u, are putting the saloons out OF
business, 600 wholesale houses and
over $4,000 retail houses in the Unit
ed States being forced TO close their
doors last year, and that at that rate
the whole country will be dry in ter
years.
i He said that there is but one or
ganiZation bigger than the temper
ance organization, and that is the Ii
quor organization. The temperance
organization must fight that great or
ganization, but when Christian people
give as much as the saloon men give
for their campaign expenses they viii
win out in a single year.
i The speaker placed alcoholism in
the class with the five great disease:
that have cursed humanity-typhoit
fever, yellow fever, diphtheria, small
box and tuberculosis-and classified
it with the eight vices of modern SO
ciety-house burglary, train robbery
eounterfeiting, grating or stealing
kidnapping, white slavery, sambliRs
land the saloon business. He fOnns
the same motive back of all eight o.
1.-The vices, that of the money there
was in it, and the same basis of &C
ton, that of trading upon the weak
ness of the weaker brother. Every
one of the vices, he said, is clea,
stealing, but he considered the saloon
; as seven times worse than a common
thief.
i There are now in Florida forty dry
counties. The Anti-Saloon League il
now carrying on a campaign of Ian
enforcement throughout the state
and preparing for the fight for state
wide prohibition which it proposes t.
make in 1916, urging the people t.
register now, so as to be able to vote
in the June primaries, which will
nominate the members of the mex
legislature before whom will come
the proposition of re-submitting the
liquor question to a vote of the people
in the fall of 1916.
At the close of the lecture subscrip
ton cards for the support of the work
of the league were given out.
DR.. Stuart was heard last night BY
a very large audience, and it was the
concensus of opinion that his lecture
was one of the finest ever delivered
in Ocala.
