Cheltcnham Township for the disposal
of sewage was discussed today nt a
hearing in City Hall. at which Stat

city adjacent to that sub division of
Montgomery County.
Engineers estimate that a sewer along
Tacony Creek and cmptying into the
Delaware River would cost $4OO 900.
After hearing testimony by Public
Works Director Cavcn and representa-
tives Of the township. DR.. Martin or

poSal then Will be embodied in an ordi-

Open FIGHT TO GET
FULLER & CO. BOOKS
Subpoena Served on Receiver
in Face Of Stipulation
Means Big Battle
MAY GO TO SUPREME COURT

A court fight that probably will be
carried to the Supreme Court OF the
United States opened yesterday when
District Attorney Banton, Of New
York, subpoenaed the books of the failed
brokerage house of f.. NJ. Fuller &
Co. 80 Broad street. The Philadelphia
Offices were in the Widener Building.
The outcome IL expected to determine
all future bucket. shop proceedings.
Mr.. Banton acted without announce
ment and the subpoena was served on
the receiver for the estate Of Fuller &
CO.. Samuel Strasburgor. at his office.
I IA broadway. in the afternoon. 1t is
returnable today. but the receiver will
probably not turn over the books, hav-
upon taking possession Of them
Immediately upon the service OF the
subpoena the Office Of the receiver noti-
fed James Louis Moore. of Hays. st.
John and Moore. attorneys for Fuller
4 Co. and also for the individual
members of this firm. This notification
was in accordance with the stipulation
also and 1t led to instant action by Mr..
Moore. He at once prepared an appli
cation for an order to show cause and
expected TO have the order signed before
morning. The order will require the
District Attorney TO show cause why
the books should not remain in the Gus.
tody Of the receiver. and will act as Il
stay to further action by Banton. thus
bringing the whole question into court.
The order sought by Moore will be
returnabe before Judge Knox Tuesday
md argument undoubtedly will be heard
then on the remarkable stipulation
which Moore obtained from the receiver
and which goes much further than the
stipulation made in the case of $. s.
Ruskay 4 Co, which the lower court
has held is binding.
1t is possible that the Ruskay cnsc
and the Fuller case will be taken tr
the United States Supreme Court at the
same time by Mr.. Banton. Substan-
TALLY the same questions are involved,
but in the Fuller case the stipulation
Is so broad 1t virtually prevents the
District Attorney from getting any evi
dence whatever through the bankruptcy
proceedings.
Fuller & Co. failed for about So
00O.0 June 81. Prior to the filing
Of the petition the books Of the concern
had been carried from the brokerage
office to the offices of the lawyers for the
firm. When III" receiver appointed by
the Court asked for the books he was
confronted with this stipulation.
This not only reserves all the consti-
tutional rights OF the bahkruptS. bu,
provides that the books are merely to b"
held in trust for the administration of
the estate in Bankruptcy Should the
books be subpoenaed by prosecuting
officer the stipulation provides the re-
ceiver must not only refuse to give them
up. but must notify the bankrupt's law
yers and return the books upon demand

gaufre and cloky. These came to Amer
lea In March. They are admirable fab
RIGS for hot weather.
One fashion fact the Americans dis
covered was that a jumper Jacket is
not supposed to match the skirt or
frock with which 1t Is worn. Its color
Is chosen without relation to the rest
| of ones wardrobe. 1t seems to have
been the result of this creed: II it
harmonizes with the costume so much
the better; if 1t doesn't what's the
odds?
At the races 1t is frequently seen In
black, in leaf shades of brown, but
rarely in red or mauve or light green.
1t Is in almond green. the color Jeanne
Lanvin launched last January. and
which has grown to be conspicuous in
the costumery at the races.
A further word might be said regard
Ing these weaves called gaufre and
cloky. They are not new to the man
ufacturers. the dressmakers or the shops
over here, but they catch the attention
OF the public as a novelty whenever a
woman appears In garment of either
weave.
a I wrote them up rather fully last
summer from Paris. but as an editor of
fashion magazine once said: I'm
fashion it's as bad to be year ahead
as year behind" Every one who writes
on the subject of clothes runs against
that stumbling block. Fashion report
ers are more apt to be in front than
behind. 1t is their duty to emphasize
things that will appear~~or have just
appeared rather than those which are
common knowledge. But the consum-
ers, women. do not turn their attention
to a fashion until 1t Is worn by their
neighbors. Therein lies the fixed gulf
of difference between the writer and
the public.
Now that these new and significant
| French weaves are coming into evil
dence among the women who buy new
fabrics it Is wise to describe them
again. They are light in weight. their
weave is crepe, and their surface Is a
/ spider web pattern which is raised
above the surface slightly. but percept-
IDLY. 1t is this patterned surface which
makes the difference between them and
what has been.
