DA. STANLEY “1S HAULED UP WNCNTY COURT Fashionable Fifth Avenue Physi- " cian Is Rebuked by Judge Conlin and Ordered to Submit + to Immediate Examination in * Supplementary Proceedings. DIDN’T PAY A “DISCREET um ADVERTISING” BILL. Denied Knowledge of Suit, but _ Papers Showed Differently— * Young Woman Put in His Of- fice to Collect Money Met with Indifferent Success. Dignified and handsome, Dr. Kirke @anley twirled his flowing mustache and fingered his Van Dyke whiskers ner-| Yously to-day as he stood at the rail in the City Court listening to a severe ar- Falgnment from the bench. The doctor had himself only to thank for the judicial “call down,” for he had been trying to play “possum” with Judge Louis J. Conlin and Lawyer T. A. Keppler, who had for days been endeav- ‘ering to corral the physician to exam- fne «him in supplementary proceeding. Although judgment for $700 had been en- tered and he had recelved several vinits ffom Deputy Sheriff Sneden, and a young woman had been Installed in his Bandsomely appginted offices, No. 489 Pith avenue, Kirke Stanley ap- eared in the Court-House to-day and pleaded with an innocence of expression { )weally baby-like that he didn't know a@ (@hing about the proceedings against Bim. He waa ushered at once {nto Judge Conlin's private chambers. * Said He Never Was Served. TE have never received notice of any fudgment or any litigation of this char- @cter,” Dr. Stanley told the Judge. Thereupon His Honor decided to go pon the bench and investigate in open @ourt. He was so impressed with the ‘@ignified and “handsome appearance of , fhe Fifth avenue physician that he would hear him in open court. Mean- @ime the papers were eent for. “What's this!” exclaimed the Judge. “Here Js the judgment notice of service and a dozen other notices, What do you mean, sir, by making such state- ments? These papers do not lie." The doctor was standing at the rail and was now quite discomfited. ‘Go at once aad be examined. IT shall ‘give you no time,” exclaimed the Judge. “Here, Mr. Keppler." he added, shov- {ng the papers acinss the bench, “I au- thorize you to examine this man In sup- Plementary proccedings at once,” and the tall, handsome doctor followed the tle lawyer as meek as a lamb into one the examination rooms. Impressed Fifth Avenne, Dr. Kirke Stanley has recently Pressed Fifth avenue with his “cures He acquired offices at No, 489 Fifth ave- fue a year ago, and at once made play for a bon-ton clientele, He isc said to Rave originally come from Michigan. Well dresed, well groomed and well posed, he made friends rapidiy, and to Ris intimates confided that he had patients among the ‘real sweil” people. He even mentioned the name of Mrs. Huntington—presumably Mrs, Collis P. Huntington, and her name appears in the morning papers—simply, however, @s an illustration of the success D Btanley had already achieved. He Quoted in the papers as saying that @xpected a check for $100 from Mrs. Huntington for services rendered. The physician's appearance {n court Was the direct result of his refusal or Meglect to pay a dill of nearly 3800 for “judicious and dlmcreet’ advertising Which he incurred through Jules p. Btorms, the well-known advertising agent. This was early in the spring. {When Dr. Stanley failed to pay the bill he was sued and judgment obtained. ‘As a compromise, however, he agreed to allow a representative of Mr. Storms to take charge of his dally finances, + gayin= that his receipts amounted to $80 or $1002 day. Accordingly Miss Alice X. Abeel, of No, 29 East Twenty-ninth street, was established in the doctor's @ulte of offices and designated con- Veniently his “‘cashier.”” A Dally Deduction. x Tt was agreed, so that precipitate ac- tion would not be taken by the deputy @herift, that Miss Abeel would repre- @ent the “other side" and that daily ums would be dedicated from the ra- ecicts until the amount of the adver- Maing dill was paid, with costs, Miss Abee! was duly installed, but the doctor grabbed the mail each morning. she aMrms, and would not allow Open it, although she knew there were Money and checks in the mail, But incidental fees came her way during Moctor’s absences trom ere and ring the one week that Mis: (held her ground in the face af the note Mor's discouraging tactics she was ene dito Ket only about $1111. or theres bouts, But the “physickan was very fe. even courteous, to Mins Adee, Swaps.

Her testimony went to show that My. Burke, in the dying days of the Tammany administration, did not neg- lect to provide for hin family, The records of the Dock Board show that in December. 191, the Department of Docks leased a stretch of peach on the North River at the foot of One Hun- dred and Forty-ninth street to one Monahan for twenty years at $200 a year, the lease to take effect Jan. 1, 192.

Cotton was easy in the market during the early trading to-day, with the near- by options showing gains. When cotton brokers received the news from. Liverpool before the local market opened that there was a break in futures the bears were happy. Spot predicted that there would be a big de- nervously for the opening. To the surprise of every one the local market did not respond in sympathy with foreign trading. The reason ap- and the business was only moderate. American futures were then steady. When the gong sounded for the local market to open, the pit was crowded and there was a rush of buying orders from the bull side that sent prices up from 7 to 19 points, ‘The first quotations were: August, 11.40; September, 10.57; Oc- tober, 9.82; November, 9.62; December, , and January, 9.63, It looked for a time as though the New Orleans Wulls might cause a short scare through the medium of the ca- bles, but the bears got busy and fought the rise vigorously, The bears were known to send selling orders to Liver- pool, which caused irregularity there.
