FORMER COTTON KING PRICE
TO PAY BIG' DEBT OF HONOR.
Although Not Legally Liable He Announces to All His Creditors
That He Will Wipe Out Old Scores in Full Bankruptcy
Court Had Freed Him From Such Obligation, but He Xow
Will Pay the Difference Between the Amount Received by
Creditors and That Dup Them When He Failed.
REPUBLIC SPECIAL.
New Tork, June 7. Theodore H. Price, whose firm. Price, McCormlck & Co , cot
ton brokers, failed for $13.000 000 in MaynSOO, to-day sent to all his creditors, it wa
learned, telling them that he will pay his debts In full and that they will receive
checks before the middle of June for the amount due. It was reported a month ago
that ho had paid In full, but he denied the rumor.
This action of Price's is taken despite the fact that he mas discharged In bank
ruptcy. On July 7, 1903, William Q. Curtis, assignee of the firm, announced thai
dividends aggregating 71 per cent were to be paid to the unsecured creditors and
that $10,000,003 had been paid out to secured creditors. Unsecured creditors on the
New York Stock Exchange received 72 cents on the dollar.
It has been said that although he was icleased from legal liability to his cred
itors, after the-assignee had closed up his work, Mr. Price wished to pay every dollar
he owed.
His firm's failure came after a sensational campaign to corner the cotton market
Daniel J. Sully then assumed the role of "cotton king," and he too went down In an
unequal contest with the marl.ct. Sully made the nucleus of his fortune out of the
turn affairs took when Trice's troubles came, and it is said that the recent slump in
cotton which undid Sully did much towards rehabilitating Price's fortunes.
Ho is said to have been short on the market when cotton was at the 17 cent mark
and again when the market touched 1C4 cents a pound.

According to one who has kept a record
on the instructions of the counties, with
the possibility of error In two. Folk now
has instructions 'tor 431 delegates. Of
these lit are Instructed for Folk alone and
93'for Folk and one other candidate, usu
ally a home man. Instructions were given
to Reed for 41 delegates, Hawes for 111
and X are contested. Six were unln

State stand as follows: For Cook, 139;
Mitchell. 29; Musgrave, 20; Allen, 7; Mc

On Auditor, the uncontested delegates
stand as follows: Alien, 212; Marmaduke,
20jPitts, 2. "
CJi Treasurer, uncontested delegates are
focowgill, 82; Orchard. 77.
titers is much speculation regarding the
probable action of the St. Joseph Judicial
and the Joplln Delegate- Convention In de
ciding contests. Without doubt, the friends
of Folk are not nearly as numerous in
either of these conventions as in tho Jef
ferson City State Convention.
According to those close to the Folk
headquarters. It Is probable that no at
tempt will be made to have the contests
from St, Louis carried Into the St. Joseph
or Joplln conventions, as the friends of
the Circuit Attorney in other parts of the
State generally confined their fight to the
Jefferson City convention, and where the
test between the so-called machine and
antimachine forces will be fought out.
Chief interest now centers In the possible
action of Jackson and Buchanan' counties
over the light for Secretary of State. Sec
retary of State Sam B. Cook has strong
friends In both Kansas City and St. Joseph
and it is said that he will make a fight in
both places.
Speculation regarding the ability of
James Todd of Maryvllle to carry St. Jo
seph Is colored largely by the personal
preferences of those discussing the proba
bilities.
BULLFIGHTERS

Matador, Toreadors, Picadors and
Cossacks Claim They Have Re

Six members of the Spanish bullfighting

It was supposed when they walked in the

The Cossacks, employed to entertain

decided to quit the work of journalism for
that of the stage.
His heart remained whole until ho
joined the. Mabel Paige company, and for

would remain true to his premise of being
a bachelor until the end.
While their company was making a tour
of the South they were called upon tol

LADY MANAGER
LOST IN COUNTRY
Mrs. Ernest Starts for the Fair
Grounds, but Goes Toward
Ferguson-
Other Members
Plan a Search.
For three hours yesterdaj- the Board of
Lady Managers was minus one of Its
members.
Mrs. Flnls P."Erncst of Demcr, one of
the most popular members of the board,
attended a luncheon given by Mrs. Daniel
Manning, prudent of the board, at her
homo In Berlin avenue yesterday after
noon. Returning to the World's Fair, Mrs.
Ernest boarded a Suburban car, which she
thought ran to the Exposition grounds.
Instead, it happened to be a Suburban car
which transfers to Ferguson. Mrs. Ernest
was taken out into the country- several
blocks in the wrong direction.
When she discovered her mistake she
took a car returning to town and was
advised to transfer to an Olive street car.
This brought Mrs. Ernest to the LIndell
boulevard entrance to the Fair, which is
more. than a mile to tho home of the
Board of Lady Managers.
Mra. Ernest in dismay looked down at
the .soft trallirg folds of her handsome
white, gown. It was one of the most
beautiful of the many gowns worn by
her, being of white silk voile with gold
embroidery. Besides thoughts for the
safety of her gown, Mrs. Ernest remem
bered also how tired she was, and the
day was hot.
She hesitated for a few minutes Then
she beckoned to one of tho blue-capped
guides and the next minute she was going
over the last route In ono of the roller
chairs.
Mrs. Ernest's absence was the cause 'of
much anxiety among her friends at tho
home of the Board of Lady Managers.
They had about decided to insUtute
a"t
search for her, when Bhe, serenely made
her appearance and allayed the anxiety
of the other members of the board.
