Oooper Alleges Management of Officer & Pusey Estate is Too Expensive, OFFICIALS FILE A GENERAL DENIAL Pending Wo Render Change wt This Time Un- wise—=Dividend from Estate of Thomas Officer. Aswert that A petition asking for the removal of L. F. Murphy and John Bereshelm as re- ceivers of the Officer & Pusey bank was filed yesterday In.the district court by J. K. Cooper and others, claiming to represent a majority of the‘\bank's creditors. The petition also asks. that the creditors be permitted to name some one person 10 &ct s receiver to act in winding up the estate of the bank. 1 In support of the application it is al- leged that tho present expense of the ad- ministration of the estate is greater than justified by the amount of business done, that' L. F. Murphy was bookkeeper and con- fldential clerk of the banking firm of Off- cer & Pusey for many years prior to the failure and that Recelver Beresheim is head of a large Banking inetitution, to the affairs of which he devotes his entire time. It is further asserted that Receivers Murphy and Bereshelm were not appointed at the reques: of or with the knowledge of the creditors of the bank, bul at the instigation and suggestion of Charles T. Officer, who was administrator of the estate of his father, Thomas Officer, ‘the senfor member of the defunct banking firm. It is clalmed that the credftors have the right to select the recefver. Attorpeys for Mr. Cooper state that this action is not intended In any way as a personal attack on the receivers or with the intention of criticialng their actions, but that the creditors feel that the time has come when cne receiver can be dispensed with and the business of closing the estate done by one man. Recelvers File Answer. As soon as coples of the petition were fled on the recelvers they filed their an- swers in order that a speedy hearing might be had before the court. They deny that Mr. Cooper represents a majority of the creditors or anybody but himselt and his lawyers. While admitting that Recelver Murphy was for many years bookkeeper in the ¢mploy of Officer & Pusey, they denmy that he was & “‘confidential clerk” and deny also that their appointment wae suggested and brought about by Charles T. Offcer. It s aleo denied that Recelver Beresheim devotes his entire time to the affairs of his bank, They defend . their administration as economical and wise and allege that the large attorneys’ fees they have been com- pelled to pay havée been to ‘a. great ex- tent necessitated by|the unwise and im- provident litigation Instituted by the cred- itors, Including the applicant in‘the suit at tar. * L ’ They state that since their appointment they have collected $336,71L13 and dis. 5, leatfhg a-batance of 327, 399, that fnderviders of the court they have paid prefesred claims amounting to $254,451.73, which has de- creased the indebtedness to $308,204.02. They state further that there are now pending four eales of property aggregating $60,000 and settlements of other claims amounting to $30,000 and that they proposed to shortly declare a dividend of & per cent. That the receivers have yet $60,000 worth of property to dispose of comes as a great surprise to the creditors, as if this is the case there ought to be sufficient means to pay a dividend of nearly 15 per cent Ia place of 5 per cent. OfMcer Estate Pays Dividends. They call attention to the fact that so far during eighteen months of the receiver- ship they have recelved no compensation except $1,304, which has been paid to Re- celver Murphy. It is claimed in the answer that Recelver Murphy, by reason of his familitarity with the books of the bank and his acquaintance with the creditors hai been pecullarly qualified to manage the de. talls of the receivership and has given to it his entire time, while Receiver Ber heim has given his counsel, judgment and time to the handling of its affairs, collec- tion of its claims and disposition of its assets. In conclusion the receivers say they have no personal desire to continus the ardu- ous labors of the trust, but they aver that a change of receivers at this time would be unw! expensive and against the in- terests of the persons interested and that there Is no warrant, ca or reason for the application of Mr. Cooper being filed and ask that it be dismissed. Judge Wheeler is expected to hear the application this afternoon. J. J. Stewart, administrator of the estate deceased, senfor membe of the defunct banking firm of Officer & Pusey, filed his first report yesterday and cured an order of court authorizing him to pay & dividend of 5 per cent to the creditors of the bank. ' The ciaims against the bank origfoally amounted to $631,342.9¢ Preferred claims to the amount of $53,842.49 were allowed and pald In full, leaving & balance of $577,- 600.70, upon which two dividends amount- ing to 46 per cent have been paid. Administrator Stewart in recommending the payment of this dividend says in his report that slthough the assets of Officer & Pusey are not entirely exhausted, there is no question but that they will be in- sufficient, and further that he believes that after both estates have been exhausted, that Thomas Offcer will be insolvent and that therefore In his opinlon it would be perfectly safe to distribute now the funds In his haod Under the ruling of Judge Macy all cred- itors who filed their claims agalnst the recelvers of the banking firm are entitled to participate in the distribution of the as- s of the Officer estate, although they may not have filed their claims also against the estate.

RULING IN BALLIETT CASE Whether or Not Funds Were Diverted from Proper Use Only Question, DES MOINES, May 20.—In the Balllett case today Judge Munger ruled that it was immaterial whether Balllett spent the pro- ceeds for moral or immoral purposes, the only question is whether he diverted the funds from the development of the mining property and the stockholders. The court refused to allow the district at- torney to introduce evidence money was spent in establishing varlety theaters and on varlety actresses, rullng it did not matter whether the money went to churches or theaters. J. C. Higgins of Spokane, Wash., who wai the principal witness of the day, testified that when Balllett left San Franmclsco for Baker City In August, 1900, he instructed the witness to burn the stock books if the postofiice Inspectors called and to deny that Balllett conducted the office. In cross-examination F. B. Thomas of San Francisco admitted that he believes the White Swan mine to be good paylng prop- erty.

JUDGE WEAVER DISSENTS Holds Evi(llcnm is Not Bufficlent to Warrant Conviotion of Mrs, Kuhn. PROSPECTS GOOD FOR A REHEARING State Guardamien Practice on Targets at Cedar Raplds—Letter Carriers and Poatal Clerks in Conven- tion at Marshalltown. (From a Staft Correspondent.) DES MOINES, May 29.—(Special.)—Jus- tice Weaver of the supreme court today filed a dissenting opinion In comnection with the court's decision afirming the case of the State agalnst Sarah Kubn from Keokuk county. Mrs. Kuhn is serving a life sentence for the murder of her hus- band. The chief question in the case was whether the evidence sustalned the con- viction. In the court's decision, written by Justice Waterman, it is held that the evidence was conclusive of gullt. Justice Weaver takes exactly the opposite view. Mrs, Kuhh was 19 when she married Charles Kuhn, a lame shoemaker, in the town of Delta, a man twenty-four years older than she wae. They lived unhappily and one day in September, 1900, they drove to What- cheer on an errand. They bought sausage and beer, which they consumed on the way home. Kubn was taken sick and died and strychnine was found In the beer. The evidence on which Mrs. Kuhn was con- victed was entlrely circumstantial. The majority of the court holds that it is suf- flelent to warrant the conmviction. The fact that the dissenting opinion by Weaver, which presents the case very strongly for the defendant, will likely lead to & re- hearlng of the case. New Corporations, The following incorporation papers were filed with the secretary of state today: Moore Monument company of Glenwood; capital, $10,000, by A. Z. Moore and others. 'erry 8.

Already several hu; dred persons have quit. The situation is becoming so involved that it apparently will be Impossible for the union men to remalin at work much longer without viola ihg the rules of the Chicago Federation of Labor, under which they hold charters. A strike among the beef butchers or hog butchers or.any other set of men upon whom hundreds of others are dependent, would cause a complete tleup In every branch. This is sald to be not unlikely Dbecause in many Instances union men have been asked to do the work of the strikers and have been discharged for refusing. Fur- thermore, union men are forbidden to han- dle goods that have been prepared by non- unfon labor and it is sald to be nearly fmpracticable for the men to continue with- out doing this. Conferences between several of the firme and members of the ution were held this afternoon in an effort to adjust the trouble, but the packers refused to con- cede any of the demands of the trikers and the probability of an early settlement seems as remote as on the first day of the tieup. Tonight 225 boxmakers employed by the National Box company’s plant et 3308 Cen- ter avenue, struck because they had been asked to furnish boxes to the packers against whom the teamsters are struggling. ‘The American Export company today re- fused to handle meat because of the fear that the drivers, who are members of the Teamsters' unfon, would strike if asked to do the hauling.

CRITICISES NEW PRESIDENT Cuban Congress Objects to Premature HAVANA, May 20.—The House of Repre- sentatives has reconsidered the bill which provided amnesty for Americans who were under sentence or in jall in Cuba, and b added an amendment providing that am- nesty be granted to native-born Americans only. The bill, in this form, was sent to the senate. The purpose of the amendment is to exclude from the amnesty those naturalized American ocitizens who might be released by the bill and who might still continue to reside in Cuba. The house has voted to fix the salary of the president at $25,000 a year and that of members of the congress at $3,600. President Palma's message to congress was read today. Considerable scandal h arisen over the report that this message was published by a local paper last night before it was delivered to congress. Today a resolution was passed to the effect that it considered the premature publication of the message a discourtesy on the part of the president. The president is greatly an- noyed and has discharged one of his aldes. Detectives have been put to work to de- termine how the message reached the news- paper which published it.

One western millionaire came Into the possession of his wealth through his own abilities, beyond a doubt, says the New York Sun, but it is also true that his opportunitlies were excellent. And came to him in an unusual way’ It happened that the wife of a very rich man had for many years gone to a certain New York for her gowns and had ways been walted upon by the same woman. One morning she went to the store to order a gown. After the' busi- ness of getting the new dress had been sacted the saleswoman said to her: Jast time that I ehall r they ‘When the customer expre in her plans the woman told her that she and the man to whom she had been en- aged for several years had decided that [h!y might as well get rried as wi especially as she had managed by prudence to have a little money. Said the cus- tomer: “You bring your betrothed to my house tonight to see me. 1 would like to mect him and have my husband know him, too.” A time was set, and that night the sales- woman and her betroth visited the wealthy patron. introduced them to her husband, who talked with the man and was favorably impressed with him.

The governor of Martinfque, M. L'Huerre, was at once seen with the object of arranging for a rescue .party to- proceed by land in con- nection with the voyage along the coast of the United States cruiser Cincinnati, should such eteps appear necessary. At gbout 11 o'clock this morning Fer- nand Clerc, & wealthy land proprietor of Martinique, ‘&rrived here and announced that Mr. Kennan and his party were safe on a plantation at the north end of the islana. Prof. Robert T. Hill, United States gov- ernment geologist and head of the expedi- tion eefit t§ Martinique by the National Geographiical ‘eoclety, who . left Fort de France ,Monday on horseback for the vol- eano, returned-here this morning. He was completely worn out by his trip. Fatile Attempt to Examine Crater. Speaking personally of his expedition to Mount Pelee, Prof. Hill sald: My attempt to examine the ci r of Mount Peleg has been futile. I succeeded, however, in getting very ciose to Morns Rouge.. At 7 o'clock Monday night I wit- nessed from a point near the ruins of St. Plerre a_frightful explosion from Mount Pelee ‘and noted the accompanying pheno- mena. While these ‘eruptions continue no sane man, shyfild attempt to ascend to the crater of the voleano. Following the sal- Vos of defonations from the mountain gigantic . mushroom-shaped columns of smolce and cinders ascended into the clear, starlit sky and then spread In a vast black sheet to the south and directly over my head. ‘Through this sheet, which extended a distance of ten miles from the crater, Vivid‘and awful lightning-like bolts flashed with alarming frequency. They follow distinet paths of ignition, but were differ- ent_from Mghtning in that the bolts were horfzontal and: not perpendicular.
