M'ADOO LEADING LIGHT IN THIRD
 LOAN CAMP AICN
Makes Opening Speech at Unveiling of State of Lib
 erty in Philadelphia.
1.2OO SCHOOL GIRLS
 PARADE CITY STREETS
New York Launches Third Loan With Patriotic Dem
 onstration at Midnight.

Philadelphia, April 6-Secretary of the Treasury William G. McAdoo was the central figure in the celebration marking the opening in Philadelphia today of the campaign for the Third Liberty Loan. He was to deliver keynote address before leaving on his tour of the country in the interest of the new bond issue.
 MT. McAdoo also was to make a short speech at the unveiling of the statue of Liberty erected near the city hall. His four-year- gdanddaugh- ter, Dona Marin, was to unveil the statue. A parade in which 1900 school girls dressed as Bookcases of Liberty, sailors and marines, boy scouts and other organizations took part, preceded the unveiling.
 New York, the financial center of the nation, launched the Liberty Loan with impromptu patriotic demonstra- tions at midnight, nine hours before the time set for the official start, and a flood of early subscriptions encour- aged the committee to believe that it's ambition to raise at least half of the entire loan in this federal reserve dis trict might be attained. The districts quota, as allotted by the treasury de- partment, is $9OO,OOO,Oo0, or 30 per cent of the total amount desired.
 Among the largest of the subscrip- tions reported today was that of $10,- 500,000 from the Metropolitan Life insurance Co.,, of which $500,000 will be credited to it's San Francisco office. A million city dwe1lers received their first "officiaP' intimation of the opening of the campaign when, on | answering vigorous rings of the door bell, they found pasteboard Liberty bells, inscribed Ring Me Again on the door knobs. The novelties were distributed during the night by 25,- | 900 members of the police reserves Boy Scouts and other volunteers Small boys were given the privilege o1 ringing the bells.
 | At least half a million American I flags, according to official estimates fiuttered from buildings and river craft and thousands of striking post CTS were displayed at points of want age.
 Numerous parades and patriotiy meetings in all five boroughs were 1 held.
 A subscription of $15,0oO,o0o was announced by the New York Life In- s11rance Co. Of this, $3,5O0,O0O was allotted to banks in federal reserve centers outside of New York.
 Seven American aeroplanes from Mineola, L. l., will circle over Man haitian late today and drop 20,00t pieces of literature.

DIVIDEND DUE TO ENERGY OF
 THE TRUSTEE

Through the energy of J. S. Me Namara, principal creditor and trus tee of the Busy Bee Restaurant, bankrupt estate, the creditors today received dividend of 50 per cent. of their claims, and expect to receive an additional 30 per cent. before the proceedings are closed. It is unusual for a bankrupt firm to pay so high a dividend.
 McNamara's success in securing so much for the creditors is in large part due to the advice of his counsel, Attorney John Smith, who argued a law point before Referee John W. Banks, and won his contention, that the equity of the bankrupt firm in a bill of sale of store fixtures, and 8 lease of a store, be included as assets. Judge Banks decided favorably, and 1t developed that these equities form ed almost the entire assets of the es- tate.
 The Busy Bee, a lunch room at East Main street and EArnum avenue, was conducted until January 2S last, when it became bankrupt, by Harry Akamatis, Gus Arginiadis, Charlie, Savis and Vasilio Fardis. They had been running the lunch room for eight months.
 The building in which the business was conducted was leased by David Lester from Mrs. c. Zones, the own CT, by him leased to Joseph Lesser, and the latter leased it to Betty Less- CT, wife of David. Mrs. Lesser own ed the fixtures in the store, and sold them to the restaurant keepers on a conditional bill of sale for $5,00O, re- ceiving $1,500 in cash, and notes pay | able $100 each month. The rent of the store was $100 a month. When McNamara was named trus- tee, he found these equities the only assets, and had them included in the estate. To protect them he was | obliged to pay the rent for two months, and also the notes, totalling $400. Recently he sold the equities for $2,000, which is the source of the large dividend for the creditors.
