Explosive Prices High.
The enormous demand for high eX-

levels. Picric acid used in making
explosives has risen from 25 cents to
$3.50 a pound and the entire supply
on hand has been bought up. Those
men who still have guncotton on hand
which can be delivered within thirty
days are asking IS cents pound. The
usual price is 20 to 25 cents. In Feb
ruary the French government tried to
buy 24,O00,0O0 pounds of guncotton, Of
fering IS cents. 1t was unobtainable
so contracts were placed with q num-

Trustee Gets Cows
and Wonders How
They'll Be MIXED
The Animals Were Part Of
Property Turned Over With
Bankrupt's Goods.

Frederick J. Israel. trustee in the
bankruptcy matter of Louis kaphen
q COW dealer of II Highland terr0ne
Irvington, is a much troubled man to-
day This state of mind was caused
when Referee Charles NJ. Mason
signed an order instructing Kaphen
the bankrupt, and Mrs. Johanna
Kaphen, his mother, to turn four cows
over TO him Immediately
The order was obtained by Mr.. Is
rael through his counsel, William
Harris. Who will milk the cows? is
the question that now confronts the
trustee
/. According to Mr.. Israel. the air of
Down on tine Farm" does not ap-
peal to him, and he prefers not to
take up the farming industry.
1t is possible that Mr.. Harris, his
attorney, may be able to assist the
trustee and secure an assistant to
look after the milking and feeding
of the cows.
Kaphen was adjudicated a bankrupt
on a voluntary petition in bank
ruptcy July 23. He set forth in his
schedules that his liabilities amount
ed to $685. and he possessed no as
sets. The trustee learned that four
cows were stabbed in a barn on High
land terrace. Kaphen testified that
the cows were owned by his mother.
During an examination it was learned
that the money for the purchase of
the cows had been furnished by
Kaphen. Hence the order and
seizure.

MAYOR SNUBS
"GUARDS" BY NOT
HOLDING REVIEW
Also Sends Back Invitation Un-
Observation-Disclosures
Outing a Success.

With the bright sunlight beaming
brellas. the Original Third Ward
Guards left this morning on their
twenty y-seventh annual outing with
Atlantic City as its destination, There
was a parade through the principal
streets of the city, and there were
some of the leading politicians, office
holders and business men of the city
among the paraders., With all these
circumstances to make for joy, ii
would have been thought that the sat
isfaction of the Guards" would have
been complete but there was one rift
in the lutte that prevented supreme
satisfaction The Guards were
snubbed by Mayor Raymond, and
they We're snubbed hard, too.
The membership of the Third Ward
| Guardsgis mostlN-~D Democratic, and
although IL is a well known fact that
Mayor Raymond doesn't like Demo-
Gratis land there were also some Re-
publicans whom he didn't like before
they put him on his back at the pri-
maries), still when a local organiza-
tion goes on parade ii usually has
the mayor to review it, Well, Mayor
Raymond didn't review the Guards"
any more than he reviewed the union
men on Labor Day, and 1t was the
first time in the history of the
Guards that the city executive. no
matter who he was, didn't bid them
bon voyage or give them some other
sort of farewell from the City Hall
steps.
Mayor Raymond wasn't at the City
Hall this morning when the Guards"
went by. Not only that but he
wouldn't accept the invitation sent
! him to go OH the outing. To make
his snubbing all the more pronounced,
he returned the invitation sent him to
City Treasurer Elmer Day, chairman
of the Guards arrangement COM
mittee, without even an acknowledge
ment of regret. Thus the Guards
were slapped on the wrist with
double force.
As the $50 Guards" passed the city

POLICY FRAUDS
ALLEGED, "PRU"
STARTS ACTION
Sues to AnnuI Kansas City
CIaims-Suicide Pact by
Brothers Is Hinted.

Believing that life insurance policies
totalling $175000 were entered into
with fraudulent intent, the Pruden-
tial Insurance Company has filed a
suit in equity to abrogate the policies
of Herman J. PeltZer and Theodore
G. Peltzer, brothers, of Kansas City,
whose sensational career in connec-
ton with the Peltzer Investment
Company, has been receiving much
publicity in Western newspapers.
The evidence already adduced in
the case since the Peltzer Company
went into the hands OF a receiver
contains allegations that the brothers
entered into a suicide pact, and this
feature, 1t is believed. has had its In
fiuence on the Prudential seeking to
abrogate all contracts with the
PeltZers.
Accusations have been made openly
in Kansas City where an invostiga-
ton is in progress, that the brothers
dealt in bogus mortgages and other
fraudulent investments Each of the
brothers insured his life heavily,
Theodore carrying s500000 in acci-
dent and life policies. Both brothers,
It has been disclosed, made the In
vestment Company a beneficiary, and
il is alleged both entered into a sui
eide agreement.
Theodore c. Peltzer fell from q fifth
story window in the building where
his office was located, on September
20 last, and was instantly killed, and
shortly afterward the investment
concern was put in receiver s
hands.
When an investigation was started,
it was unearthed that there had been
various assignments of interest in the
insurance policies, and subsequent
developments indicated that the
brothers. business affairs were in a
complicated tangle.
Theodore had policies in the Pru-
dental Company aggregating 800, 900,
and of this amount the Prudential
paid over to the heirs of Theodore the
sum of $4,000.
The developments that cRSued
prompted the Prudential to withhold
the remaining 100000 until the couAts
can determine, after unraveling the
maze of assignments and transferrals
of interests, Just who the benef1ciaries
are.
The brother still living, Herman T.
Peltzer, has policy in the Pruden-
tial which constitutes sum total of
si35, 900 still due the Peltzers, and the
insurance company is seeking to
abrogate these outstanding claims
and separate itself from any connec-
tion with the case.

iOLD COURTS COULD HAVE
COLLECTED FINES, TOO
Charges Mayor With I'm
ethical Action" in Naming
Judge Wolf to Office.

"A feeble attempt to excuse the
creation Of the Third Precinct Court"
Is the way former Judge Thomas S.
Henry characterizes Mayor Thomas
l.. Raymond's answer to his speech
at the Joel Parker Association ban
quet. The mayor might better have
remained quiet, he believes. than to
have indicated "a revolving idea up
on the functions of a court.
II don't see as the mayor made an
answer" said the former judge to-
day, answering the mayors reply as
delivered at the Indian League gath
ering Tuesday night. Continuing, Mr..
Henry saId
1T was a feeble attempt to excuse
the creation of the Third Precinct
Court, The mayor doesn't pretend to
say that the court was needed, but
he does declare it is not an expense
to the city because the 1ncs collected
pay all expenses.
THAT remark is decidedly revolt
ing, as il would seem to indicate that
court should be run as n money
making institution. Such an idea is
indeed anything but a high one. If
court were actually needed il
should be maintained regardless of
expense. for If there is anything the
people should pay for cheerfully it is
the administration of Justice"
The former judge also pointed out
that the fines collected in the Third
Precinct Court would be collected in
the other courts if the Third were
not in existence. He reiterated that
the Third court was causing the tax
payers the useless expense of $4,000
annually. and commented upon the
fact that the mayor had made no
reference to his "unethical action in
naming as Judge the assemblyman
who put the bill through the legisla-
ture.
In reference to the mayors denial
that the salary item had been in
creased the former judge considered
comment unnecessary I'VE have not
raised the salary of one city en-
plove," the mayor said, The FORMER
Judge, in the joel Parker address
