BANKRUPTCY PROCEEDINGS
ARE FILED BY LOCAL FIRM

Proceedings in bankruptcy were
filed this week, by the Spencer
Walker Company, mems furnishings
store of this city. The store listed
liabilities of about $4,000, with as
sets of about $4,000. The princi-
pal owners of the business are E. NJ.
Walker, and Roy Z. Walker of
Maple, who have sought to bring
tottering business out of a state
of insolvency. The Walkers were
interested i'm the store about two
years ago, when it was reorganized,
but sufficient capital was not put
in the business by the stockholders
at that time, and some Of the SUBJ
scribers of stock failed to make
good their pledges, which contrib
uted largely to the closing Of the
business. The business was found
ed in 1920, but got a bad start dur
ing the period of postwar depres-
sion, and never fully recovered.

HOW SOME FOLKS CAN GET BY.
oJhQ bank CLERK Aso TIE SO0A uCPKeR

Bowery. James, was telling some
folks that John Patrick, whom we
all know well, was peddling boot
leg liquor. Trannie, who used to
peddle liquor himself, is now
mighty anxious to keep other folks
from doing what he used to do,
and he went to Chief Gregory and
put him wise that George James
would help him to convict John
Patrick"
$50 Judge Sawyer, orders George
James up in Court and demands OF
him what he knows about the con-
yersation, when James up and
denies having made such remarks
as allegated by Trannie Crank, and
further contends that he hadn't
bought any liquor Of anybody in
two years.
"But Trannie is now one OF the
custodians of the towns morals,
and he was not to be thusly out
done in his reform work I've
sold you liquor inside of two years,
he told James in Court, and it so
came about that the Prosecuting
Attorney issued warrant for
James, charging him with perjury,
and the whole outcome, is that
Judge Sawyer fined him $50 and
costs for lying in court"
"What did they fine Trannie for
selling liquor?" asked the Bank
Clerk.
mo more than they fine any
other bootlegger, who claims he's
got religion and yells sanctuary,
like they did in the 18th century"
said the Soda Jerker. Judge
Sawyer is mighty religious too, and
if he wasn't, there would be plenty
of contempt Of his court, If he fined
any bootlegger who has yelled Sane
tuary'." said the Soda Jerker.

said the Soda Jerker to the Bank
Clerk.
"What kind of trouble has our
society folks got into nOw," asked
the Bank Clerk.
ut amt society, it's some OF
this funny kind of religion" said
the Soda Jerker, "And the question
is, how is he going to get by with
furnishing folks who've got it. You
known this fellow George James,
who got in trouble sometime ago,
and was fined $50 and costs in
Judge Sawyer's court, for perjury,
or contempt on the testimony OF
Trannie Crank who is Il confessed
bootlegger, is getting mighty sore,
and from what l hear, he's going
to spill the beans on some other
folks, which makes it look like
somebody will have to do some ar
resting or pass the buck"
"Do you think Henry LeRoy
would be afraid to issue warrant
for bootlegger?" asked the Bank
Clerk.
81 don't think that" said, the
Soda Jerker, but | think he wouldn't
get very far with it, because some

Investigation by this agency, the American says, revealed that pr. Graves had discovered a plot 10 stage a royalist coup in Germany on March l and to place the crown prince upon the throne.
 Two days before his disappearance Dr. Graves is said 10 have predicted that President Ebert of Germany would die within a period of eight month of last August. President Ebert's death occurred February 2S Hast, well within the period mention ed in this prediction.
 Dr. Graves also Is declared 10 have asserted that there were powerful influences working among German-- Americans in the United States both in favor of the planned royalist coup and against it in favor of the repub- lie. He, himself. Is said to have de- cdpd to aid in thwarting the coup.
 The American says that former department of justice operative knew of pr. Graves appearance but had lost his trail at railroad station in New York from which he was about to leave for St. Louis. This agent, as quoted by the Ameri- can declared;
 "On August 29, Graves received q large sum Of money. It was from royalist sympathizers in St. Louis. men into whose confidence he had wormed. Dr. Graves left his room ling house and told a friend he was going to St. Louis to gain further information of the plan to restore the Hohenzollerns to the throne of Germany. He did leave for St. Louis. But his trail ended abruptly at the railroad station in New York" ,"
 pr. Graves was interned at Fort Oglethorpe by the American govern ment during the world war. He has written books exposing the workings of the German spy system and is
 said to have once been chief of the German secret service.

March 12.-Mrs. John Wallace Riddle, wife of the United States ambassador to Argentina whose resignation was accepted yes- terday by President Coolidge. has explained from her home at Farm ington, Conn, how series of sea mishaps which she experienced was the cause of her husbands retire ment from foreign diplomatic serv- ice.
 Mrs. Riddle, then Miss Pope, was a passenger on the steamship Lusi- tania when 1t was hit hy a German torpedo off the coast of Ireland in 1915. Among the 1,19S victims Of the disaster were her two travelling companions. Mrs. Riddle was thrown unconscious into the water but she survived. The shock of the experience disabled here for several months and produced In her mind a dread of the sea that made ocean travel for her an ordeal.
 4 year after the Lusitania dis aster. she was married to Riddle.
 Soon after our marriage" said Mrs. Riddle, "it became necessary for us to go abroad, in spite of my distaste for sea voyaging. On the trip from England to Iceland, a boiler blew up aboard our ship. On the way back the vessel burned at its pier In Norway, The two expert- ences, linked with the Lustanta horror, greatly deepened my distrust of the ocean,"
 However, when Riddle was ap- pointed ambassador to Argentina, she went with him. Returning to New York six months later, she again experienced i'll luck.
 "On the way north" she said, "the rudder of our ship damned, the ves- sel nearly turning turtle and for 6 time we were in great peril. Fol three months after landing I vas i'll
 Now my physician has absolutely forbidden me venturing on the wa ter again. I cannot go with my hus- band and he cannot stay with me and retain his post.

 "Mr. Riddle sailed for Argentina last month, in order 10 be at hi' ! post when resignng."
 Mrs. Riddle said her husbant would remain in private life.
