MAY PRICE

Death claimed yesterday Miss May Price, daughter of MT. and Mrs. Will liam Price, of 4O4 Arctic street. She had suffered an extended illness with pneumonia. Her death will come as a distinct shock to her legion of friends in the city. Miss Price had been i'll with pneumonia. Although it was thought that she was on the road to recovery, she suffered a relapse a few weeks ago and death came yes- terday. Miss Price was unusually talented as a musician and had at tained much success both as a pianist and organist, having been organist and director of St. Charles R. C. church choir ever since its organiza- ton. She had a class of 31 pupils and was a prominent instructor of the pianoforte. When a very young girl she displayed an unusual aptitude for music and under the careful tutelage of the Sisters of St. Joseph of Roch- ester N Y who formerly conducted St. Charles parochiaI school she be- came one of their most skilled pupils In order to make herself more profi- cient she matriculated at the New York Regents Musical school. A sad incident in connection with her death is the holding of the obsequies on her birthday with a solemn mass of re- quiem at St. Charles R. c. church at which the full choir, by her special request, will sing. Joseph Clabby, will sing, also by her request, Heaven Is Her Home"

 and there make out notes to the con- cern that tided them over.
 It appeared from inquiry that the City Title Guarantee & Trust Co. stock was acquired by Burr & Knapp funds and later distributed to John c. Cham berIain, Mrs. Burr and Mrs. Knapp. Attorney Bowers declared that it was the intention of the investigator to inquire particularly as to the transac- ton that resulted in the formation of the new company, which is now doing the Burr & Knapp business without a banking department.
 A power of attorney recorded by
 r~s Burr on the day of the failure became known and later will receive close inquiry.
 The fact that bonds of the Water welt Hydraulic Co. have been issued and not found on the Burr & Knapp bankruptcy schedules, was uncovered in the inquiry. Another inheritance assignment made by Charles H. Jen- moneys loaned by Knapp is found not to have been listed, the value of which, however, is not yet known.
 John c. Chamberlain was declared to have received at one time the sum of $4O0 for the use of his signature on notes of the Burr & Knapp firm.
 The Burr & Knapp Go. was shown today to have loaned large sums to Individuals, who, wishing not to be disclosed in realty transactions had the amounts covered up, according to Knapp, under accounts of "non-in- corporated corporations" One of these was shown to be an account known as Davenport Park on Dav- enport street. t
 Questions on the disposition of trust funds held by Knapp, under the names of Elizabeth c. Lockwood and A. by Attorney Arthur c. Comley, ap- bearing as personal counsel for Knapp. Bowers was asked to de- clare for whom he was appearing, as, if an ulterior motive was behind the purpose, it was asked that the hear ing be discontinued. Bowers de- clared that he appeared in behalf of creditors Howard Wheeler, F. w. Wheeler, Lockwood & Nicho Adolph Sherman, Cygne M. Sherman and Daniel M. Nichols.
 It appeared that settlements had been made personally by Herbert Knapp, with those creditors who named the Hungarian Sick Benefit society, Mrs, Meeker, Emma c. An derson, Addfe M. Davis, Dr. Pons of Milford, a MT. O'Shaughnessy and a MT. Gagner
 An account on the City Title Guar antee & Trust Co.'S books was said to disclose that rentals for the Knapp home were paid by T. c. Dick son to Mrs. Knapp who in turn gave them to MT. Knapp for the payment of these debts.
 | Knapp persisted that even if this was found to be so she had every fright to do so and that beyond his own living expenses he was devoting every cent he earned toward the pay ment of his debts, which he would 10 years if permitted when he thought he would have paid all.
 It was intimated that some back rentals for property held by the de- funct firm have not yet been ac- counted for and that debentures over'- paid to the amount of $5,629.65 were covered up in the bookkeeping on the day of failure.
