Counsel Use Sharp Language ‘in Argument on Motion to Vacate Subpoena Directing -Hoatiey to Produce Books. STOCK-JOBBING SKELETONS EXPOSED IN COURT. The Judgment Was for $7,000 Against Cyrus Field Judson in Connection with Crash of In- ternational Power Company. ‘There was crimination and mm e: ime much hard language, to of & ghastly exh{bition of Wall street stock-jobbing skeletons, in the Qrgument of “learned counsel from three States before Supreme Conrt Tustice Davis to-day on a simple motion w vacate a subpoena directing Joseph . Hondjey to produce his books, as a witness in supplementary proceedings against Cyrus: Judson on a judgment for ghout $7,000 in favor of Franklin é& Béott, stock brokers. The “leagned counsel included Ed- mud L. Mooney, who appenred for x-Judge J. 8, L’Amoreaux, y George 8. Graham, of Philadelphia, for Hond- ley, and Henry W. King, of Worcester, Mass., for other interests, Ex-Judge L'Amoreaux recited briefly the reason for the motion to vacate the subpoena that it was an attempt to Dry.into Joseph H. Hoadley’s business help other plaintiffs. Mooney delved into the history af the: International Power Company pool and its collapse, in 1902, with the tomplete failure of Cyrus Field Judson, the’ Jéader in the pool. ‘He said the poo! was formed by Joseph H. Hoadley, Cyrus Field Judson and Jogeph Leiter, of Chicago, but it was operstefi by Judson atone. The slump came on May 18, 1902, and the market Was down several million dollars. Total Liabilities Were $2,000,000. Franklin & Scott had sold stocks for the pool, and when the crash came Judson was in debt to them $114,000 “special” and abowt $7,000 “plain,” hie total abilities being about $2,000,000. ‘The exemination of Hoadley prelim- frame a complaint had involved the ‘taking of 150 typewritten pages of testi- mony, revealing that Hoadley had taken from Cyrus Field Judson every- thing he had on the day of the crash— stocks, property, money in bank, even his three automobiles—an aggregate of more than $965,000, and left nothing for the creditors, a dosen of whom have brought actions similar to the Franklin & Scott sult, and demanding an aggre- bad gone up or down in the market, Cleared Ont Judson’s Bank Account zwe, ein inf ion that on the day | nd recelved from Pag ae raf et) es res of the stock the North Ameri an sata intron Cowart amang d, and 600 common; 1,600 Am Locomotive Company, 1,000 com: 950,000 made by Tugson ‘to Hoadley. and Jud- ¥] in a aif desen banks— se0-1ta 90: tame $1,780.59 reapectively.

More than 300 Cases Reported from Twelve Sohaols in -the District—Doctors Unable to Determine Cause of Epidemic All of the public schools in Williams- wurg may be closed as 4 result of an epidemic of measles that has spread to an alarming extent the past week. In the past five days 300 cases of measles have been reported from the twelve schools in the district, 100 cases coming from one school. Dr, Murray, Superintendent of Con- tagious Diseases in Willianishurg, told an Evening World reporter to-fay that the epidemic had reached a stage wher drast{¢ measures would have to-be taken to stamp it out. "Just how this epidemic started,” said Dr. Murray, “nefther I nor my inspectors have been able to determine. It does not sdem to be confined to any ‘one school’ or any one locality. It 1s general throughout the schdols and spreading to an alarming extent.
