CHARGES DECREE
OF SALE FAYORS
GREENHUT FIRM
Attorney Attacks Trustees
for Appointing Two
Appraisers.

Morris J. Hirsch, attorney for Mrs.
Frank Vogel, who has s253,OO0 Of bonds
in the bankrupt Greenhut firm, at yes
terday's hearing in the bankruptcy pro-
ceedings announced that he rad new
causes OF action against Captain J. b.
Greenhut. He requested that Referee
Peter B. Olney delay signing the de-
cree of sale drawn up by the trustees
and order the appearance Of Captain
Greenhut, his wife and their son. The
referee assented to this request and
will order the three to appear for an
examination at the Merchants Associa-
ton, in the Woolworth Building, next
Tuesday. Captain Greenhut has been
questioned before, but his wife and son
have not.
Alfred A. Cook, one OF the trustees
who had prepared the decree of sale,
denied Mr.. Hrsch's charges that the
decree would give no one else a chance
to bid in but Greenhut. He declared
that by the new plan Of reorganization
$500 men and women employees would
not be thrown out Of work
Attorneys for bondholders repre-
senting more than S5,O00,00O worth Of
bonds, spoke in favor o. me decree as
prepared or a parallel decree, with
few changes, il such were necessary.
Morris J. Hirsch and Herbert r. Linn
burg, representing the minority bond
holders, fought hard 10 dissuade the
referee from affixing his signature TO
any decree which would leave their
clients in the hands of a bidder, init
mating that the bidder was none other
than Greenhut, who might acquire
everything.
The attacks of Mr. Hirsch on Green
hut were answered by James y. Ro-
senberg, in behalf Of the trustees.
Mr. Rosenberg had submitted TIE de-
cree of sale, and in II, he Indicated,
he had left the business open ." the
bid of any one who wished 70 acquire
il, either piecemeal, as N departments,
or in bulk.
The first bitter feeling at the meet
ing was manifested when trustees at
torney James y. Rosenberg recon-
mended that Andrew y. Nielsen, an
expert accountant, who is thoroughly
acquainted with the details of the
bankrupt firm, and Augustus Phillips,
until recently with x. II. Macy Co.,
be appointed appraisers Of the Green
hut stock and thai the third be Sc

by Mr.. Hirsch, conterded tina: il was
not usual for the trustees 70 name

that all the three should be chosen by
the referee. Mr.. Olney, however. said
he would second me choice OF the two
men recommended and that he will
appoint third appraiser, ar author
ity on real estate values, to-day.
Mr.. Rosenberg showed that when
the trustees assumed charge OF the
business here were liabilities Of sl2,-

months the store had cleared, under
their direction, $49,9li96.

salary increase, arguing that the best
type of legislators were not attracted
by salary, but found their recompense
in the honor Of the office.
The Bracket committee also voted
TO allow legislators 10 accept civil OF
fee at the hands Of the Governor, tne
or the Senate OF the united
States during their term Of ONCE:
They would permit also member OF
Congress, n civil or military officer OF
the United States or any city Official
to be elected 20 the Legislature.
Before the corporations committee
William G. Breed, on behalf OF the
State Bankers Association. urged the
killing Of two proposals TO give minorl-
ties representation in corporations. ne
said the matter should be left TO the
Legislature.
"The Legislature has power 10 do
that now, but it can't be trusted 70 do
it," replied Louis Marshall.
Criticises Convention Inactivity.
The convention to-day repeated what
10 has been doing since IL convened
IL met and did nothing. While some
of the committees have been hard az
work, the convention as whole has
been idle for nearly a month. In that
time il has disposed Of but one meas,
ure. That was TO defeat the proposal
Of n. Leroy Austin to strike out the
twelye-year limitations on agricultural
land leases.
Many members, Republicans and
Democrats alike, are grumbling at the
failure Of the leaders. At the present
rate Of progress the work of the. con-
vention will not be completed for a
couple of years.

PLAYS FavOrite Airs.

For the first time since he shot Stan
ford White on the roof Of Madison
Square Garden, Harry X. Thaw last
evening visited a roof garden.
It was not the search for frivolity
that attracted Thaw this time. He
went there to eat.
On the order of Justice Hend.ick he
was taken by Sheriff Grifenhagen and
two deputies to the Hotel McAlpin for
dinner last evening. The party dined
on the roof garden on the twenty
fourth floor.
Thaw seemed to have less interest in
his immediate surroundings than he
had in the night panorama spread be-
fore him. He was particularly inter
ested in the illuminated towers OF the
Woolworth and other tall buildings
that were new to him. Through head
waiter who remembered him from
other days he made two requests OF
the orchestra leader. They were Sc
lections from al Troyatore" and
Madame Butterfly"
On leaving the hotel for Ludlow
Street jail the party passed the dance
hall. Thaw stopped just a moment to
look on, but he evinced no desire TO
tango.

Patrolman James Doody. Doody is an
ex-cowboy. and, of course. knows all
about goats. The situation was not
beyond him. He summoned three other
gallant riders -Patrolmen Carly, Cody
and Nichols and the hunt began.
They gathered in forty-seven goats
before nightfall. Goat after goat they
dragged at the lariat's end to the sta
tion house. Doody, the ex-cowboy,
grew disdainful Of this short horn
snort. To .nliven it a bit he left his
horse and atalked the goats afoot. As
he was delicately approaching one
down toward Graveseud a huge and
warlike billy espied his crouching form
and stalked the policeman from the
rear. Thereafter Doody scanned the
horizon in all directions before dis
mounting.
The goats and the dogs were placed
in the yard in the rear of the Sleeps
head Bay station house. A telephone
message was sent 20 the Society for
the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals.
They would take the dogs oh, yes;
but goats, well, they specialized IN
dogs. 1t was a good deal Of question
whether one could be cruel to goat
anyhow.
Lieutenant Mccarthy racked his
brains and searched the rules and m

happily and explored the police stable.

ton Meets.
From Stan Correspondent Of Inc tribune


Albany, July 13.-Yieldng to the
pressure of the rural delegates, the
Committee on Legislative Organization
voted to continue the present dis
elimination against New York and
other cities of the state in Assembly
representation.
The committee. of which ex-senator
Edgar Truman Bracket, Of Saratoga,
is chairman, by voting 70 continue hav-
ing one Assemblyman to each county
without regard to population, gives to
counties with a handful of votes
many with less than they had during the
Civil War an equal footing with big
Assembly districts in New York City,
Rochester, Buffalo, Syracuse and other
cities.
Typical illustrations Of this Unequal
ity are the Counties Of SCHUYLER and
Putnam, each with $4,000 population,
and the 23d Assembly District of New
York County, with a population of
$4,000 and voting strength of more
than $4,000.
There are twenty-nine rural counties,
each entitled to an Assemblyman, with
population of less than $4,000. The
injustice 10 New York City and other
cities is plainly apparent.
Cities Doomed to Wait.
The action of the Bracket commit
tee means that New York and other
cities which have been seeking fairer
representation must continue clamor-
ing for another twenty years, unless
they can get an amendment through
two legislatures.
For should the proposal reported
favorably by the Bracket committee
to-day be beaten at the polls the pres
ent provision of the constitution, dis
eliminating against the cities, would
continue.
Senator Bracket, who wants the con-
vention to take up reapp0rtionment,
and claims that with Democratic aid
he has enough votes TO do so, also
secured the appointment OF a sub-com-
mittee 10 report on leaving the cues
ton to the Legislature. Should the
committee decide on that course.
which is very improbable. the Bracket
committee will plan reappOrtionment
limitation to insure the continuance
of rural control.
The committee also voted to increase
the salaries of legislators from 81 800
to $4,000, but voted down increases in
the tenure Of office.
Salary Increase Approved.

and Thomas A. Kirby voted against the

Disposing Of the i'm that the law

Federal Constitution or place a burden

The chief case was that Of Marie

those Of William James Burns against
