 That the receivers have been unable because of the consolidation above to submit bids for coal to The Alaska Railroad for 5000 tons of coal;
 That Bartley Howard, in addition to being party in controversy with said receivership, at all times knew that said receivership was in full force and effect and especially on the 18th day of December, 1925;
 That judgment debtors are left without opportunity to be heard in defense of their rights;
 s'That under the disadvantages pointed out and the consequent higher costs of operations arising therefrom and from the application for consoli- dation, the report of the Mcdonald re- ceivership shows cash in the sum of s1O,5O0 and added machinery and equipment of S12,O0O and in addition there is blocked out 100000 tons of coal of commercial quality and ready for marketing.

$4,000 JEST JAiLS HIM.
Men Held for Trying to Cash a
Check Given as Joke.

Charged with trying to cash a
tensthousand-d dollar check given
to him as a joke, David Willet,
New York and Atlantic City in
ventor, was arrested in Philadel-
phia on complaint of Mrs. Ellen
e. Macllvaine, proprietor of a
rooming house at 1921 Pacific
Avenue, Atlantic City. A second
man, knows as Leo Broome, said
to be well-to-do Philadelphia,
also is being sought as an en-
dorser of the check.
According to the complaint,
Mrs. MacIlvaine and some of her
boarders were telling stories
about millionaires who lit cigars
with one-hundred-dollar bills and
checks. In jest, Mrs. MacIlvaine
wrote two checks, one for $4,000
an done for $4,000. drawn on the
Girard Trust Company of Phila-
delphia, and gave them to Will
let.
The fifty-thousand dollar check
was returned, Mrs. MacIlvaine
said, but the ten-thousand-dollar
check was retained. BrOone en-
dorsed this later, it is charged.
according to the police. Willet
said he needed the money to adj
vertise and market shower bath

there was everything for sale from

selling such drinks and mixture
which was supposed to be beer.
When the final event came off
people did begin to wake up. They
watched the drivers go around the
track the first few times of the 80
laps, and then the race grew tire
some.
And so, the reporter ducked the
rest of the assignment, at the
same time plying those who work
for the big sheets and had to stay
and get their stories out, and
found his car, after half hours
search among the junk yard of
machines, and then went home.
But he felt the hum of the ma

watching the cars-in fact, feels
it even yet, and hopes he won't be

in the inside of a mighty hot sau-

GOODRICH PUTS
TIRE PRICES DOWN

A generous reduction in tire
prices just announced by the B.
f. Goodrich Rubber Company, has
restored the price levels OF two
years ago, according to the Palace
Garage, local Goodrich dealers.
This is much more than a cut
thrown out to attract few back
ward tire buyers" say Frymire
e Maeaulay. Comparison of the
new price with prices on the
great majority of sizes and types
in 1924 shows how completely
any so-called initiation has been
squeezed out of tire prices. In
a majority of cases, the new pri-
ces match the prices of two years

come ashore after feeding the fish

He watched what were declared

tol plant Saturday. He stood on
top of one of the deserted refresh
ment stands in the center of the
speedway to see the race. (His
press" ticket turned out to be an
ordinary 1920 kind.)
Following the machines about
the wooden track, they looked like
tiny toys to him, he turned round
and round--for the first 60 mile
race-and then he felt dizzy. The
boiling sun made him dizzier, and
finally he was wise enough to
watch the second race from the
stand below, where he had nice
shady seat, and didn't have to
turn his head, as he watched the
cars flash past a certain spot.
When the third 60 mile event
came off, he got little sleepy,
and as his companion and chauf-
feur had left him for another part
of the field, he confesses with the
shame of a hoped to be sport that
he stretched out in the shade, and
went sound to sleep, the high
drone of the speed motors sound
ing like sweet music to his ears.
And just as the third race of the
day was coming to an end, he
woke up. He thought he would
be a true sportsman and watch
the last race, the big event, but
he grew tired, and with the boy
friend went home before it had
