CHANCERY court MAKES
ORDER IN SECURITIES Case

Chancellor Charles NJ Curtis hand
ed down an opinion today in the case
OF William +. Fell VS.. Securities Conn
pany OF North America, involving ex-
ceptions TO claims against the COM
pany. The court held that the qucs-
tion raised by the exceptions taken
by the receiver 20 the claims Of the
holders Of contracts made by the
company are not affected by the
claims Of general creditors. for they
have been paid. or can be paid from
moneys of the company are not af-
fected, or can be paid from moneys
OF the company constituting its capi-
tai. and not obtained from holders OF
these contracts.
So also the expenses OF the llQuida-
ton of the company through the re-
ceiyer upon the dissolution Of the
company may, IL seems be met from
the same source. and it will probably
not be necessary to consider whether
/ any part OF the reserve fund should
be used 10 pay such expenses
! Chancellor Curtis reviews the con-
/ tracts and bonds of the company and
the reserve fund. All OF the engage
ments are broken. he held, as the
whole scheme OF the company has
fallen through and all the boudhold-
ers should be treated alike. None OF
the bond contracts can be carried out
"lnasmuch. therefore. as All land
holders must lose. and none can have
his contract fulfilled" the court CON
cluded- "All must be treated alike,
so far as the distribution of the re-
serve fund is concerned. and each be
allowed a claim for each installment
paid, with six per cent interest from
payment to date Of the receivership.
TT Is also clear that after IT, re-
serve fund has been distributed to the
land holders, they will be entitled to
participate for the payment OF the
balance Of their claims as general
creditors. with other general crodi-
tors, II any, in the general assets Of
the company outside the reserve
"To the extent herein above indi-
Gated. the exceptions taken by the re-
oeiver will be sustained"
Caleb S. Layton appeared for the
claimants and Ward. Gray and Neary
for the receiver.

FIGHT ASSURED,
PENROSE DECLARES
BY The United Press.


WASHINGTON. Feb. S.-The United
States and armor plate manufactur-
ers lined up today for the biggest
fight in their history The Senate
naval affairs committee, before it
recommended the passage OF a bill
for government manufacture of arma-
ment, was warned by Senator Pen.
rose, OF Pennsylvania. that the pri-
vate plants Immediately will go out
OF business. Also. until the govern
ment plant is completed, they will add
5000 ton TO all armor plate.
The bill which passed the commit
tee, appropriates $11 O00,0OO immedi-
ately TO build an armor plant. with n
capacity Of not less than 10000 tons.
This would be sufficient to supply all
government needs
Before today's hearing. the commit.
tee has been inclined to favor q plan
whereby the government should build
part of its armor and private firms
the remainder. But today's develop.
ments make Il probable that armor
plate manufacture will become a gov.
ernment monopoly.
The decision Of the committees fol.
low month of hearings in which il
has been admitted by the private manu-
facturers as a special inducement ia
foreign governments to gain trade
they had sold armor plate abroad
more cheaply than TO the United
States.
The committee has before Il re.
ports from army engineers that the
factory costs exclusive of all over.
head expense for armor pate manu-.
facture will be 1862 a ton. For the
last several years from Sf20 to $3.50
has been paid.
Those who voted for the bill were
Tillman, Swanson, Chiffon, Lewis
Phelan, Plttman, Clapp and Poindex-
ter.

AT THE GARRICK.

Clever comedy made great hit
with the first nighters at the Garrick
Theatre last night. Willard Simms,
the "wall paper man." seemed to be
funnier than ever, and he has the
same peculiar voice which made such
a hit here before. incidentally, he
knows no more about hanging wall
paper than he did on his last visit to
Wilmington. Otherwise he is the
same old Simms, and he has the same
able company and the same interest
ing surroundings. He keeps the peo-
pie laughing all the time he is on the
stage. One of the artistic features
of the bill was Nine. Maria Los

interesting human representation OF

a clever musical novelty, featuring
their revolving electrical chimes.

got lots Of applause for his wit and
music. He is the same old minstrel
man as of yore. and just as popular.
Mr. and Mrs Gordon Wilde gave an

which they are experts. One OF the
