_—_— THE OMAHA D AILY BEE SUNDAY, JA NUARY 18, 1908. ELECT HASTINGS TRUSTEE Creditors of W R. Bennstt Oompany Require Four Ballots For Eleotion- MOVEMENT ON TO KEEP THE STORE OPEN W. R. Denneft Appears on Witness Stand and Tells of Loans Made by Mereantile Com n ¥ to ding Corporation, At the meeting of the creditors of the W. R. Bennett company, bankrupt, yester day afternoon, Edgar E. Hastings was elected trustee on the fourtk ballot The contest was between a number of the large creditors and the great ma- Jority of those whose claims were paratively small. On the first baliot this was shown by the fact that W. H. MeCord recelved 64 votes, representing more than $218,000 of the liabilities, while E. E. Has- tings received 272 votes, representing a little mora than $90,000. The second bal- lot was relatively the same. the support of Mr. McCord coming principally from the banks and the large wholesale houses, On the third ballot a nunber of the larger creditors broke rank and voted for Mr. Haatings. Then an attempt was made to adjourn the meeting and bave the trustee appointed by the referee. This was voted down and on the fourth ballot all came to Mr. Hastings except J. J. 0'Connor, who represented Peter Mangold's claim for $30,000. After the election of Mr. Hastings his bond was fixed by the creditors at §50,000, the same amount as he has furnished as recelver pending the creditors’ meeting. Bennett on the Stand. An interesting phase of the afternoon sessfon was the introduction of W. R. Bennett on the witness stand to lay the foundation for the examination which will be held at an adjourned sesslon. He testl- fled that he was the president of the bank- rupt company and told of its organization fn 1880 and of the organization of the W. R. Bennett Building company ten years later. He gald that the building company bad a nominal capital stock of $400,000 at the beginning, but that it had never had any capital except such as was borrowed. The tncorporators were S. F. Bennett, W. R. Bennett, Irving Allison and F. W. Brown. The stock was never delivered and the witness did not know how it was divided between the stockholders. He said the bullding company borrowed $50,000 from the mercantile company and the money was used to pay part of the purchase price of the site; later the bullding company borrowed $75,000 on first mortgage from the Prudential Life Insurance company and $100,000 on a second mortgage from John R. Webster; prabably $30,000 more was borrowed by the building company from the mercantile company, and an evi- dente of indebtedness for $80,000 given; aside from these sums all the money re- quired by the building company was bor- rowed by the mercantile company and paid out on the bullding, and no separate ace count kept of the traneactions between the two companies. While these proceedings were taking place before the referee the O'Donohoes Redmond company flled an application be- fore Judge Munger to require the trustee to keep the business of the bankrupt com- pany in operation. In the application it was sald that the applicant had contracted with the W. R, Bennett ccmpany to op~ erate a dry goods department in the store and it had leased for a term of years certain space and the vight to use win dows for display; much of the value of the space and location depended upon the fact that it was in combination with the lixes of goods carried by the Bennett company in the store and the fallure of the trustee to earry on the business would work Irre« parable Injury to the applicants. Notica of this application was served upon com- | Mr. Hastings 23 soon as he had been elected and at 4 o'clock the matter was calléd up betore the judge. It wAs thén dectded that an {nvelce of the stock or hand should be taken before tho hearing umder the application was completed and In order to take this inventory the store must be closed Monday and probably Tuesday Members of the other firms Aoing business in the building consented to close the house for this time, as it would give them an opportunity to take stock. aring Next Week. The judge then referred the matter to E. Clapy, as epecial master, with in- structions to hear the cause and report immediately by mall to Lincoln, where Judge Munger will be for the next week. As soon as the involce is taken Mr. Mas. tings will file his bond and qualify as trustee, and after thatJdime the question of continuing the business will be decided by the court A list of the claimants represented yes- terday whose claims are $1,000 or more » as follows ady company Commercfal National bank...

LOUIS IS SAFE 'IN PORT 'assengers on Delayed American Liner Frame Indignant Resolutions. INSTRUCT LAWYERS TO SUE COMPANY Which Cost Many Heavy Losses— Food les Cut Down All Around. NEW YORK, Jan. 1 8t. Louls arrived at an extremely slow trip, owing to leaky bollers. The time from Cherbourg to the lightship wae thirteen days, five hours and twenty minutes, six days, fifteen hours and twenty-five minutes behind the ship's best record. There was no accident of any kind and, although heavy weather was encountered, practically all the delay was caused by inability to get up steam in the defective boilers. Passengers Are Indignant. The passengers became indignant when they learned of the poor progress the ves- sel was making and an indignation meet- ing was held, at which the lihe was se verely censured for permitting passenger: to embark on a steamer In a condition of St. Louis. A statement was drawn up and glven to the public on arrival here today by a com- mittee chosen to set forth the grievances of those on board. After the vessel was sighted off Nan- tucket last night good time was made to New York and it reached the pler some bours ahead of the time set last night. A large crowd gathered at the pler and cheered as the ship came in with its load of human beings, for whose safety grave fears had been entertalned for several days. The tugs having gathewed around St. Louls, the ship was slowly brought to the dock and when it came within speaking dis- tance the excitement on the pier was in- tense. It did not take long for the first and second cabin passengers to cross tho gang planks and as they got beyond the rope enclosure they were gathered to the arms of thelr waiting relatives. Bach little group provided a scene, the women In most cases weeping in their joy. Many of the first-class passengers de- clared thelr intention to enter sult against the company and their cases were placed in the hands of lawyers. ‘When the passengers atarted ashore a quartermaster was placed on guard at every gang plank, with orders from the dock su- perintendent not to allow anyone to go on board and none of the ship allowed to come ashore. Lawyers Are Retained. ~The steamship its pler today, after The passengers freely expressed their feelings at the delay. A. Bartlett Lloyd of Bogton was one of the signers of the first cabin passengers’ resolutions. He sald: “The speeches made at the indignation meeting were much more flery in tone and much more bitter against the management of the company than the resolutions show. .We attempted to make the resolutions as dispassionate as possible. ““There was no pleasure or galety aboard. Everyone was as depressed and angry as men and women could be. Suspicion began from the moment that we left Southampton. When it first began to be rumored about the ship that the bollers were defective and leaky we sought information from the officers and steward, but could learn moth- Ing. Our fears were either laughed at or jocularly evasive gnewers made. “But when the officers saw we were in deadly earnest and would not be denied, they changed their attitude and told us promptly what we wanted to know, or told us they knew nothing about the cause of the delay. “All the first-class passengers have put thelr cases into the hands of myself and Mr. Bernel as their lawyers and author- ized us to make such cla‘ms against the company as we see fit and endeavor to collect damages. The Hamburg-American line steamship Pennsylvania, from Hamburg, which ar- rived in this port this morning, reported that on January 16, in' latitude 45.36, longl- tude 49.20, it fell n with St. Louls, pro- ceeding very slowly. Pennsylvania steamed close to St. Louls and asked the difficulty. The officers of St. Louls reported that its boilers were leaking and sent a boat along- side Pennsylvania in charge of the first officer with letters from the passengers. Leaky Bollers the Trouble. The first officer reported that St. Louls boilers were leaking so badly that the ship could only steam five knots per hour in fine weather. They had on board eight days’ provisions and water and all were in good heaith. The steamer required no assistance. Tre marine station at Sandy Hook di played a signal for the word ‘““Welcome’ as the overdue steampship came in and St. Louls replied “Thank you.” No other signals were displayed by the ship as it passed Sandy Hook. St. Louls left Cherbourg January 4 at 1:06 a. m. and arrived at Sandy Hook lightship at 6:3¢ this morning, making the passage in thirteen days, five hours and twenty minutes, an average speed of 9.74 koots. Its days’' runs were 341, 289, 332.5, 813, 200, 196.5, 126, 130, 183, 193, 225, 236.5 and 279.5; total distance, 3,043 knots. The first three days St. Louls made tairly good progress for its ability in the prevailing weather, which was rough and squally, with high cross seas. The speed then became so slow that the passengers began to discuss it and between the rough, stormy weather and the ship's igabllity to make speed they became so indignant that meetings were held Want p's Course Chang: On January 9 the steamship's bollers com- menced to leak badly and continued to do so until yesterday. St. Louls encountered unusually stormy weather throughout. On January 11 and 12 it blew a gale from west- northwest to northwest, accompanied by violent squalls and snowstorms. On these two days the ship logged only 125 and 130 knots. On January 10, when the saloon passen- gers learned of the extent of the accident to the steamer’s bollers and engines, they held an indignation meeting in the smoking room and adopted resolutions censuring the International Navigation comoany for send- ing St. Louls to sea in its dangerous con- dition. A copy of the resolutions was handed to Captain Passow, demanding that the ship's course be headed for Halifax or that the passengers be transferred to some passing fast westbound steamer. Fassengers Adopt Resolutions, A copy of these resolutions also was or- dered to be gent to the Associated Press. The resolutions follow STEAMSBHIP ST. LOUIS, AT SEA, Jan. 12, 188.—To the Passengers of the Steam- ship Bt. Louls: The undersigned committee unanimously elected by the salon pas- #engers At an Indignation mass meeting held January 11, I leave to repor t— factory eviden: that the steamahip 8t. Louls entered Sout! ampton harbor on January 2, after an east- erly voyage of over nine days, in a smooth sea, in a crippled cundition, and that it Was sent to sea on the following day, leav- ing but little or no time for necessary over- hauling and needed repairs. Second—That your committee has been ereditably informed that this condition was known (o the management from embarking ngers. PoRirdThat no accident, so far as your committes are aware, has since l | plied with the Marconi sys: officers were | leaving Southampton to impair the speed of been only such ns cted trom this ship. The delay ha: might have been reasonably ex; the crippled condition of its bollers. Provi dence, Indeed, has been exceedingly kind us, and we afe truly grateful that, thr tender m we have thus far b spared a calamit plate. Fourth—We cannot too severely condemn that the recklessness of a management would send such a crippled vessel, Joaded with human frelght, to contend with the storms and perils of an Atlantic winter We belleve that our lives have been pu feopardy and certainly our loved ones at ome are being made to suffer great men- tal anguish, not to mention the severs financial losses many of us have mncurred and are now incurring Make Request of Captain. Fifth—That on the evening of January & 198, the following petition wus presented to Captain F. M. Passow, commandin the stoampship St. Louls under- signed passengers of the steamer 8t. Louls bound for New York, hercby in view of the crippled condition of this steampehip and the consequent uncertainty of the date of its reaching that yort vou hall some fast westbound steamer for the purpose of transferring us thereto, or that the boat be put into Halifax it feasibie That in reply Captain Passow explained the difficulties and danger attending the transfer of passengers t sea and furthe: stated that it would be exceeding! dangerous undertaking to attempt to ta the ship in its present condition into th harbor of Halifax. He volunteered information that he might later on enter Boston harbor and had the question then under advisement. Sixth—That it is a matter of keen regret firet-class steamship, such as St Louls is reported to be, should not be sup m, the absence feit during vage. af the pas- ich has been serloualy r to be remembered v Beventh—That the thanks gengere are dus to the officers of the ship | heso | for their uniform courtesy under very trying circumstances in endeavoring to allay our uneasiness and excitement. The committee consisted of A. P. Lloyd, Louls B. Bernael, Rev. Arthur Crane, C. W. Bonynge and Ralph Nichol. The report of this committee was unani- mously approved and resolutions were adopted condemning the action of the man- agement of the line, as outlined In the committee's report. Second Cabin Also Complains. The second cabin passengers also framed resolutions, the gist of their protest being in the subjoining paragraph: “It was plain from the daily runs of the | ship that something was radically wrong with the boat at the outset. Inquiry elic- ited the information that the boilers were in a defective condition, and proof can be | adduced that this was not only krown to the company, but that passengers were willtully decelved and representations were made that the voyage would be fiaished in the usual time.” This circular of protest was signed by R Millard of Chicago, chairman, Gordon Graham, Dr. E. J. Fernandez, Miss Florence M. Abbott and about twelve or fitteen oth- ers of the second cabln passengers. The American line gave out the following etatement later in the day: 'he delayed arrival of St. Louis was caused by leaving Cherbourg late and by extremely bad weather. Thore was noth- ing in the known condition of the boilers that would have prevented the vessel from reaching here after a normal passage. The | marked loss of steaming power could not have been foreseen. Even in the light of our present knowledge there is nothing that in any way affects the perfect safety of the ship. The management much regrets the inconvenience caused the passengers and the anxlety caused their friends." Statements of Passengers. Victor S. Allen of Stamford, Conn., one of the first class passengers, said: was in Paris and heard that St. Louls had arrived at Southampton with its boil- ers in a leaky and defective condition. I went to the agent of the line in Paris and told him of the reports, and told him also that I had booked a passage on the ehip and wanted to know the exact truth. He said: “Those reports are malicious lies.’ On this representation I came over on the ship. 1 had an option on $500,000 of stock, which option expired on January 15. I do not know yet what my losses were, but I shall certainly sue the management of the line for the full amount of my losses.” Major C. Cunliffe Owen of the British army sald: “The trouble was with the front bollers. Only two out of the ten were in use, and sometimes only one, The American line agent in London told me that St. Louls would make the passage from Southampton to New York in nine days. I am firmly convinced he knew at the timé of the de- tectiva condition of the bollers.” Food Supply is Curtailed, After the first week the food supply was appreciably cut down, according to the statements of passengers and crew. Eggs were taken from the breakfast menu and only a small allowance of milk was given to each passenger. From subordinate officers on the ship it was learned that the diet of the crew for the past week consisted solely of oatmeal and potatoes. After about a week the run- ning water supply was cut off and passen- gers could get water for tollet only in buckets, as it was brought to them by the stewards. John Phillips, the chief engineer of St. Louls, sald: “I had no notice that there was anything wrong with the bollers until we were two days out from Cherborrg.” Captaln Bassow said “We have just jogged along and did not have a great deal of trouble. We could not make fast time and that was all. I did not know that the passengers had passed any resolutions. I did not know that I was called upon and that I explained it would be impossible for me to transfer them to any other vessel. I know of n resolutjons and did not know that any had been drawn up until I was told of them In Mr. Griscom's offic When the captain was questioned as to the bollers he said that the management of the line would have to speak on that sub- ject. He said that, of course, it was well known on board that the vessel was to be lald up for repairs after its arrival here. Inguiry in Great Britain, (Copyright, 198, by Press Publishing Co.) LONDON, Jan. 17.—(New York World Ca- blegram—Special Telegram.)—It is fully expected that a Board of Trade inquiry will be held here looking into the circumstances under which the steamship St. Louis was allowed to sail in the dangerous condition in which it started on its last journey. The action of the American line authorities at Southampton in the matter is severely erit- fcised and if the voyage had ended disas- trously they would have been placed in an extremely serious position. It was their duty to have had it inspected by the Board of Trade surveyor, but this either was not done or that officlal did his duty in a man- ner so lax as to Involve him in serious blame. SPLIT, BRITTLE, DULL HAIR. All Come from Dandruff, Which is Caused by & Germ. Split hair, harsh halr, lusterless halr, brittle balr, falling hair, all owe thelr orgin to dandruff, which is caused by & measly little microbe that burrows into the scalp, throwing up the cuticle into dandruff scales and sapping the vitality of the hair at the root, causing the several diseased conditions of the hair, till it finally falls out. Modern sclence has discovered a remedy to destroy the dandruff microbe, which is combined in Newbro's Herpicide and may be had of any druggist. Allays itehing instantly and makes hair soft as ilk.

Nearly everybody knows that charcoal is the safest and most efficient disinfectant and purifier in nature, but few realize Its value when taken Into the human system for the same cleansing purpose. Charcoal is a remedy that the more you take of it the better; it 1s not a drug at all, but eimply absorbs the gases and impuri- tles always present in the stomach and {n- testines and carries them out of the sy Charccal sweetens the breath after smok- ing and drink'ng or after eating onions and other odorous vegetables. Charcoal effectually clears and improves the complexion, it whitens the teeth and further acts as a natural and eminently safe cathartie. It absorbs the injurious ga: lect in the stomach and bowels; it disin- tects the mouth and throat from the po'son of catarrh. All druggists sell charcoal in one form or another, but probably the best charcoal and the most for the money is Stuart's Ab- sorbent Lozenges; they are composed of the finest powdered willow charcoal and other barmless antiseptics in tablet form, or, rather, in the form of large, pleasant tast- Ing lozenges, the charcoal being mixed with honey. The dally use of these lozenges will soon tell fn & much improved condition of th» neral health, better complexion, sweeter breath and purer blood, and the beauty of it is, that no possible harm can result from their continusd use, but, on the contrary, great benefit. A Buffalo physiclan, in speaking of the benefits of charcoal, s “I advl Stuart's Absorbent Lozenges to all patients suffering from gas in the stomach and bow- els, and to clear the complexion and purify the breath, mouth and throat; I also be- lieve the \ver is greatly benefited by the daily use of them; they cost but twenty-five cents some sense & patent preparation, yet I be- lieve I get more and better charcoal in Stuart's Absorbent Lozenges then in any of the other charcoal tablets.” the | of $500 worth | from a glass case in the store of Thomas | be | elved by | hue from Superintend- | rged with the theft of | that for several | and has completely baffled the best | garment had been shortened in length, de- | The woman | sustained a | which eol- | box at drug stores, and although in | NOT RECOMMENDED FOR EVERYTHING But if You Have Kidney, Liver or Bladder Trouble, You Will Find the Great Remedy, Swamp= Root, Just What You Need. idered that only urlnary and bladder troubles were to be traced to the kid- neys, but now modern science proves that nearly all diseases have their beginning in the disorder of these most important organs.
