THE STATE IH

SEEMS TO BE HOPELESS
CASE.

Assets Are Eight Thousand Less
Than Liabilities Could Not Pay
For Filing Bankruptcy Papers.
Arthur E. Collins, proprietor of the
closed Private Exchange bank of
Rochester, has returned to his home,
but is keeping himself in retirement.
Both he and his attorney, Joseph H.
Coleman, decline to make any state
ment as to the cause of the failure.
Many depositors are angry over the
failure and the lack of any explana
tion to them. The closing of the
bank came without notice. Collins
went to Detroit with his bankruptcy
petition and late Saturday Harvey J.
Taylor, cashier of the Rochester Sav
ings bank, was asked by phone to
lock it up. Crowds gathered in the
street and about the bank building
and many were bitter towards Col
lins. It - is understood that Collins'
failure has been Impending for some
time. Several investments were
nearly total losses.
In the voluntary bankruptcy peti
tion filed in U. S. court in Detroit,
Collins alleged he had not the money
to pay the fee for filing and is re
corded as a "pauper" petitioner. In
the petition liabilities are stated to
be $25,759.20 with assets of $17,850.
Secured claims amount to $1,400 and
unsecured claims to $22,460. The
principal asset is real estate valued
at $10,500 and stock in trade $5,000.
It is claimed that $2,100 Is exempt.
To prevent any meddling with the
assets Referee in Bankruptcy Harlow
P. Davock has appointed B. J. Lin
coln, of his office, temporary receiver,
and the latter went to Rochester to
take possession of the property.
Mr. Davock has also called a meet
ing of the creditors in the Rochester
town hall for 2:30 p. m. Monday,
April 20. The meeting Is held there
to convenience the many small credi
tors. A Dire Prediction.
H. P. Tannerm, of Belleville, O., pre
dicts dire disaster for every city and
town between Chicago and New York.
Detroit, Toledo and Lake Erie eitlei
will be destroyed by water, he says,
when a great mountain will arise from
Lake Erie, the length and breadth of
the lake. In the center of Chicago, he
says, another great mountain will rise
and the earth roll down its sides as it
rises, crushing large buildings like
egg shells.
The city of New York will sink and
nothing but water will be left to mark
the place. The mountain between Buf
falo and Toledo will be a volcano,
pouring forth fire and lava. Battle
Creek, Mich., he says, will be de
stroyed by fire and famine, disease,
epidemic and panic reign then for
three years.
She Dared to Shoot.
Warren Elliott, aged 30, a notorious
character, was shot in a house in Man-
celona Wednesday evening by one of

Green, said she would shoot him If he
did not. He dared her to shoot and
she fired at him, so she told the au
thorities.
Elliott's body was found about 50
feet from where he stood. Mrs. Green
gave herself up to the under sheriff.
Mrs. Green's husband was at work
In a local chemical plant. Elliott was
the son of a former village marshal
and well acquainted with her. His
companion, Patrick McGuire, a lumber
Jack, is held as a witness.
The Law Is Valid.
In deciding the case of John M".
Longyear versus William Toolan and
Alexander McMillan against Long-
year, the supreme court of the United
States upheld the Michigan law au
thorizing the sale of property to pay
delinquent taxes. Toolan and Mc
Millan laid claim to a certain tract of
land in Clinton county under such a
sale and were antagonized by Long
year, who contended the sale was
contrary to the fourteenth amend
ment of the federal constitution in
that it authorized the taking of prop
erty without due process.

THE WORLD
LITTLE CASTRO STILL SAUCY,
HAS A TIRADE IN HI3
OFFICIAL PAPER.
CLARK IS QUITE WRATHY
Men and Things Before the Public-
Various Episodes and Events That
Are Talked About.
President Castro's official organ, El
Constitutional, publishes a part of
Venzuela's answer to Secretary Root's
last note, reiterating his demands for
arbitration of the five American
claims. This is claimed to be the way
Foreign Minister Paul talked to U. S.
Minister Russell:
"The government of Venezuela re
fuses, for the time being, to take un-'
der consideration the insinuation made
In your note because, up to now Mr.
Minister, you have not contradicted
the notes of this ministry of dates of
July 9 and September 20 last, which
treated of the points which have been
the subject of discussion and In which
the reasons on which this government
then founded its negative were per
fectly well defined.
"In view of this, the cases in ques
tion, compromised among those which
require diplomatic action, cannot be
considered, and the government of
Venezuela would see with satisfaction
that the U. S. would consider this mat
ter terminated, the interested parties
always having the right of recourse to
the tribunals of justice of the republic
if they deem it convenient."
The paper goes on to allege that al
most five years after the claims In
question had been arbitrated the Amer
ican government comes to demand,
through its minister in Caracas, that
two of these claims shall be ewly
submitted to arbitration. Suggesting
that the usefulness of the Monroe doc
trine will be destroyed by the present
attitude of the state department, the
paper says:
"We do not believe for a moment
that the U. S. congress, the high rep
resentation of the nation, can possibly
authorize any proceeding which will
create a situation contrary to the rule
of justice among nations. It Is the
duty of every government to watch
over the legitimate and honest inter
ests of its citizens and save them from
all designing attack, but.no serious
government, nor any government which
pretends to be just, can or ought to
protect under the flag of the father
land the peculations of adventurers."
A serious charge is added against
one of the persons making a claim
against Venezuela.
Clark Raps Bonaparte.
There was a sharp clash Wednesday
in the house of representatives, be
tween Caufield. Missouri, and Clark,
Florida, over the latter's resolution to
Inform the house as to the amount of
money paid to detectives in gathering
evidence in peonage cases. Caufield
declared that Clark's resolution was
an unnecessary attack on the depart
ment of Justice.
Replying to Caufield. Clark de
nounced Attorney General Bonaparte
"He does not know the law," he
charged, "and he is unworthy of his
high place at the head of the depart
ment of justice. I say to this man
Bonaparte: I say to this man Russell,
his assistant attorney general; I say
to the female assistant and all the
horde that follow in the wake of
Bonaparte," he said, "come down with
the immigration commission and let
the facts be brought out and the truth
be known. We beg it, we are ready for
it."
The resolution was tabled and the
incident was closed.
Bonl Is Furious.
Count Bonl is furious at the con
firmation of his suspicions of Prince
Helie, whom he tried to thrash in the
street some time ago because of his
attentions to Mme. Gould Immediate
ly after she divorced Bonl. He paid
one franc damages later for assault.
The Paris newspapers naturally are
having considerable fun, over the idea
of Mme. Gould's re-entry into the
French aristocracy as the Princess de
Sagan, "with a reduced fortune of only
$60,000 a year," that sum being regard
ed as prodigious in France. The Gil
Bias Is especially hilarious over the
prince's alleged reply to an Insinuation
that he was a fortune hunter, in which
he said: "At my age a man only mar
ries for love."
After the Paper Trust.
Speaker Cannon Introduced resolu
tions directing the attorney general
and the secretary of commerce and la
bor to inform the house what steps
had been taken by those departments
to Investigate the action of the Inter
national Paper Co., of New York, and
other corporations supposed to be en
gaged in an effort to create a monoply
in print paper.
Cannon said if the claims of the
publishers are correct, the manufac
turers of paper are subject to penalty,
and the "trust" can be dissolved in
the United States courts.
Senator Overman, of North Carolina,
Introduced a Joint resolution putting
printing paper and wood pulp on the
free list and asked for Its immediate
consideration, but Heyburn objected,
and on motion of Galllnger the resolu
tion was referred to the committee on
finance.
Divorce $5,000,000.
Alfred Gwynne Vanderbllt, it is re
ported, has consented to settle $5,000,
000 on his wife and permit her to get
a divorce. It is declared by intimate
friends that Alfred Vanderbllt is so
licitous about preserving his continu
ally growing fortune of $00,000,000, and
that his chief concern Is the financial
aspect of his marital difficulty.
Relatives of the wife consider the
settlement of $5,000,000 satisfactory In
every respect and It Is probable that
no mention of an allowance will be
made by her lawyers In court
TO A FINISH.
Enforcement of the Liquor Laws Makes
War In Detroit.
Liquor interests in Detroit have
taken up the gage of battle thrown
down by the anti-liquor people and
a grim battle Is in progress. Notwith
standing denials of the actuality of
the boycott, which have come from
the committee of 100, there no longer
Is any doubt that this weapon has
been called Into action, or that It
Is being used with much effectiveness.
Members of the committee of 100 have
lost large sums already from this
cause and the end is not in sight.
The assertion that there is no offi
cial boycott Is well founded. The so
cieties which represent the saloon men
have not formally taken such a step,
but their members, acting by tacit
agreement, are using their influence
with their customers and their friends
to cut off trade of firms whose mem
bers have been selected for the con
test by the organizers of the commit
tee. The fight is not confined to Detroit,
however. It Is the belief of the liquor
men that as Detroit goes so will Michi
gan go. They are working on the as
sumption that the rest of the state
Is" watching the result in the me
tropolis, and that victory here now will
mean better conditions for their trade
elsewhere In Michigan. With this in
mind, every effort will be made to
carry the city.
On the other hand, the committee of
100 is fully determined to have the
laws enforced In Detroit, and Its forces
will meet those of the liquor men at
every point. From present appear
ances, the battle will be fought to a
finish.
Can Change Rates.
The supreme court handed down 15
decisions Tuesday afternoon. Among
them was the case of Michael Will
lams vs. the Catholic Mutual Benefit
association. Williams, as a member of
the association, began suit to prevent
the association raising its Insurance
rates as was proposed, to take effect
January 1, 1904. The court holds that
the association has authority to in
crease the rates. Williams In having
signed a petition agrees to abide by
the rules and changes subjecting him
self to any change proposed by the as
sociation. It was a test case and the
result is of interest to a large number
of members.
Samuel Alexander, of Ann Arbor,
has discovered 50 new varieties of
new asters.

Railroad Work Begint.
Id the next CO days the railroads of
the U. 8. will have to find between
250,000 and 300.000 men to mend their
tracks and roadbeds and another large
army t6 go Into their shops and re
pair their cars and locomotives. Rail
roads centering In Chicago alone will,
between April 1 and June 1, require
more than 100.000 laborers. For day
laborers the waxes range between
$1.25 and f 1.60. The railroads expect
to be able to procure a much greater
proportion of American labor than
usual this year. There will not be so
many Italians available because of the
exodus to Italy last year.
FROM CANNED STUFF
CLEVER COOK CAN MAKE MANY
APPETIZING DISHES.
How Materials Left Over from the
Winter May Be Utilized Corn
Pudding and Corn Oya
tera Both Delicious.
The housewife who last fall stocked
her pantry and storeroom with all
sorts of canned goods Is very apt to
find quite a few of them still on hand,
with fresh vegetables and fruits of
early spring looming up on the hori
zon. Stewed tomatoes, canned corn
warmed over In milk, canned jas
heated In butter the family are sick
of all these by now. If canned supplies
are to be used, they must now be dis
guised by clever cookery.
Corn Pudding. Take a can of corn
and put in a chopping bowl and chop
the corn very fine. Now put in baking
dish and add to this corn one cup of
rich milk, butter the size of a walnut,
two tablespoons of sugar and two
eggs which have been well heated.
Stir all together and bake In a moder
ate oven for one hour.
Corn Oysters. The name is taken
from the shape of the corn when
cooked. Take half a can of corn and
chop fine, add to this the yolk of one
egg, salt and pepper to taste. Mix
well and then add the white of the
egg. which has been beaten very stiff.
Drop on hot frying pan in lard about
the size of an oyster and fry brown
on both sides. If you find the corn is
very dry, you can add a little milk to
thin the batter before frying.
Pllan. Half a can of tomatoes, one
cup of rice, one pint of water, one cup
of diced meatv one-half tablespoon of
curry, one-half teaspoon of salt, two
tablespoons of butter, one-half tea
spoon of onion and a little pepper.
Heat the tomatoes and water, add
onion, and as soon as It boils add one
cup of rice, meat 'and curry, salt and
cook until the rice is tender, which
will be about 30 minutes. Add the
butter when ready to serve. Serve
on toast.
Stuffed Peppers. Parboil either red
or green peppers. Cut the top off,
leaving the stem on, however. Re
move all the seeds and fill with the
following recipe: Take a can of corn
and chop fine, add to it a tablespoon
of melted butter, a tablespoon of
cream, two eggs, well beaten, salt and
pepper to taste. Fill the peppers with
this mixture, put on the cover and
bake in a quick oven.
Cherry Tapioca Pudding. Soak one
small cup of tapioca in water over
night. In the morning add a pinch of
salt to it and cook until clear; then
add butter the size of an egg, one
heaping cup of cherries, half a cup of
sherry wine and sugar enough to suit
your taste. Flavor with teaspoon of
vanilla, turn into baking dish and
bake until brown. Serve very cold
with cream. If the flavor of nutmeg U
liked, grate a little on the pudding be
fore putting it in the oven.
Dainty Orange Service.
Cut a thin slice from the top and the
bottom of an orange so you can see
the sections. Then cut around from
top to bottom, Just barely through the
skin in as many places as the number
of sections Indicates. Now cut across
in from one-third to one-half Inch
thick slices. Place neatly in a deep
dish and serve either with or with
out sugar.
The slices open and can be eaten
without soiling one's hands. Three or
four large oranges make a nice dish
ful. To carry to picnics or other outings
prepare as directed, replace the slices
to form the original orange shape, tie
together and wrap in waxed paper,
which every one saves from the crack
er boxes. When wanted to serve
undo the wrappings and place In a
dish.
Sweetbreads.
Wash one pound of sweetbreads and
cover with boiling water. Add a sliced
onion, a little salt, a bay leaf and a
slice of lemon. Cook for SO minutes,
drain, cover with cold water to blanch,
and when cool cut or break Into
pieces, removing all akin. Melt four
tablespoonfuls of butter In the blazer
and add three of flour; pour Into this
gradually the strained liquor from a
can of mushrooms, also a cupful of
cream. When smooth and thickened
season well with salt, paprika and a
tablespoonful of lemon juice. Add the
sweetbreads and mushrooms. Just be
fore serving pour in two beaten eggs.
This may be served in pattle shells,
paper cases or on toast.
Candied Popcorn.
Candied popcorn is wholesome for
children and very easily prepared. Put
a quantity of granulated sugar In a
large-sized kettle just moistened with
water and add a large tablespoonful
of butter. Cook until crisp In water if
J ropped in; remove from fire for the
moment as you pour in as much
popped corn as you think your amount
of sugar will take. Put back on the
very slow fire and stir briskly until
ugar is all taken up and dried and
?ach particle of corn Is again separate.
Gas Oven Economy.
I purchased a single gas oven with
two shelves and use this over one
burner on top of my stove Instead of
using the regular oven. Uy turning
a pleplate upside down In the bottom
I have three shelves upon which to
bake at the same time. Uy so doing I
economize on my gas bill.
Use Soap Scraps.
As soon as a piece of soap has been
used until thin make a thick lather
and stick It to a new cake, leave over
night and then use as one cake.
