COURT BARS OFFER
 OF $l,8OO, 900 TO POPE co. RECEIVER


 Hartford. June 24--Tn the superior court today Judge William L.. Bennett declined to authorize the sale of the Pope Manufacturing company in the hands of a receiver, for the sum of 8, ,seo, GOO. The plan submitted to the court provided for $40O, GOO in cash and the balance in five year notes. Judge Bennett said Connecticut courts had never allowed it's receivers to indulge in financial speculation
 Immediately after Judge Bennett's g decision the interested parties had conference looking toward a. basis for a cash offer.
 George R. Nutter of Boston, repre- senting the syndicate which made the offer, told the court it was the desire to pay enough for the Pope proper ties so that the merchandise creditors would be paid in full and also pay the expenses of the receivership.
 He said the syndicate, composed of Daniel Burnett and James T. PltHam of Boston and Carl Bonney Of Worces- ter contemplated reorganization of the company with a capital of g, 800 . coo They would receive noscash other than a commission. MT. Na1tter said the mortgage would be taken by some trust company and the notes given to the receiver. The syndicate, he said, was not particularly anxious to have the offer accepted. It was not in a position to offer more.

RECORD PRICE OF $4,2OO PAID FOR
 LIQUOR LlCENCE

The value of liquor license in this city is again demonstrated by the fact that Charles Berger is said to have paid $4,2oO for license for his ho- tel, The Alpine, on Gold street. The document was purchased from Thom- as F. Rogers of 269 East Washington avenue. F FsssaH
 The manager of the. brewing como pany which aided in getting the trans fer of the license was asked if $4, 200 was the correct price. He declared it was not quite so much But would not give the exact figure The face value of license is S450, but no next ones can be granted because Bridge port already has it's full quota There- fore the docurn ents must be purchased d from individuals.
 Berger, who is in the laundry busi- ness, intends to make the Hotel AL pine a, first class nostelry for mel. only The hotel has been ready for business for some time, but it's open ing has been delayed for about three weeks, owing to the difficulty in find ing somebody who wanted to sell a license. The Alpine will open Mon day.

A NOVEL GOOD ROADS PLAN.
Bismarck Men to Request That Still
water Convicts Be Given Them
for Work on Highways.

Bismarck.-A good roads movemen,
that is likely to result in the improve.
ment of a great portion of the roads in
Burleigh county by the use of convict
labor next summer was inaugurated
by the board of county commissioners
and the commercial club here.
The board met with the club and
it was proposed during the conference
that $50 of the federal convicts, now
being detained in the overcrowded
state prison at Saltwater, be trans.
ferred to the North Dakota peniten,
tiary and be permitted to do road
work in this county.
Members of both the club and board
approved of this plan and the county
auditor has been authorized to make
request upon the state board of con.
troll for number of convicts for this
road work during the coming sum
mer.
Practically all of the convicts now
in the North Dakota prison, located
at Bismarck, are needed to keep up
the different departments of the in
stitution and cannot be spared for
road work, but the contemplated plan
is to have these federal prisoners
brought here through the action O,
the board of control.
