Developments In the bankruptcy of Wil
liam O. Woodbury of the Woodbury com
pany tame thick and fast last night. W.
8. Mayne, referee In bankruptcy. It was
said, was responsible for the vacating of
the order making A. Whltelaw receiver
under the original petition filed some
days ago by certain creditors of Mr. Wood
bury and issuing another order appointing
Freeman L. Reed, former clerk of the dis
trict court, receiver at the Instance of the
First National bank and other large
creditors of the company.
The original proceedings were merely
against Mr. Woodbury personally, but it
now appears that the llrm, which was In
corporated but three days before Mr.
Woodbury was declared a bankrupt. Is In
volved. Deputy t'nlted States Marshal Cole ap
peared at the store last evening and de
manded possession of the stock, etc., in
the name jf Mr. Heed aa receiver. This
was refused by Mr. Woodbury, whereupon
Deputy Cole, it la said, ejected Mr. Wood
bury from the building. Invited the cus
tomer to leave the building, discharged
the help and then locked the place. Mr.
Rued has oeen in the store for the last
week under an arrangement with the First
Na'tonal bunk of this city, which is a
creditor to the amount of $21,000, acting
practically aa receiver for the Insolvent
flrm
The liabilities of the Woodbury company,
as stated a few days ago, are said to be
$54,000, and Mr. Woodbury estimated the
stock and fixtures at 169,000.
Mr. Heed, when wen last night, declined
to say anything beyond that he had been
appointed receiver at the Instance of the
Fir t National bank, M. K. Smith & Co.
of Omaha and other large creditors, and
that he was now In possession of the busi
ness. He admitted that it was unlikely
that the firm would resume business.
Action a gnrprlse.
This action on the part of the bank and
other creditors in closing the store came
as a surprise to Mr. Woodbury and his
attorney. George Sttllman, attorney for
Mr. Woodbury, had this to say last night:
At T:30 o'clock last evening while at din
ner 1 was called to the Woodbury store,
where I found t 1 Kced. r.mmet iiniey,
W. A. Uroneweg and United States Deputy
Marshal Cole. I was informed thai Mr.
Iteert had been appointed receiver by V.
8. Mayne, referee In bankruptcy, and a
demand was made upon Mr. Woodbury for
possession of the store, which upon my
advice he refused. Marshal Cole thereupon
forcibly ejected Mr. Woodbury from the
premises, locked the doors, after Inviting
customers In the store to leave and dis
charging the help. As I have had no op
portunity to examine any of the papers
filed In this proceeding 1 can hazard no
opinion as to the course to be pursued by
the Woodbury company, but will state gen
erally that I regard the steps taken by the
First National bank of this city and M. H.
Smith St. Co. of Omaha as a most out- i
rageous invasion of the property rights of i
this company and one for which they will
be called strictly to account. When it Is
recalled that no court has passed upon any
of the allegations made by these parties;
that In none of these vsrious proceedings
have the Issues been made up, and no one
has any assurance and can give none that
any Judgment can or . Will be rendered
against the Woodbury company, it is hard
to conceive how any person s property
rights or liberties are safe under such mis
use of the Judicial process.
A. Whltelaw, when seen late last night,
said:
I was regularly appointed and qualified
as receiver in bankruptcy of William O.
Woodbury, and as such I am an officer of
the I'nlted States district court and am
subject only to the orders of Judge Mc
pherson, and no referee of that court has
any authority to remove me. I have not
consulted my attorney, George S. Wright,
but 1 am Informed by competent attorneys
with whom I hava talked that I can only
be removed after 1 have had an oppor
tunity to be heard, and then only when the
court convicts me of fraud and abuse of
my functions and failure properly to per
form my duties as receiver. I certainly
believe that W. at. Mayne exceeded his au
thority and do not propose to rest quietly
. under the Imputations cast upon me by his
extraordinary acts.

JESUIT REFUTES A REPORT
Father Wnsmnnn gays He Dons ot
Aerept Darwin's Theory of
Evolution, t
BERLIN, May 27. (Special Cablegram to
The Bee.) In his recent lectures In Berlin
Prof. Haeckel announced as a most Im
portant admission on the part of the Ro
man Catholic church that the Jesuit,
Father Wssmann, a learned student cf
biology, had acknowledged the truth of the
Darwinian theory. In an open letter to
Prof. Haeckel, Father Wasmann now ve
hemently refutea thla view, and quotes In
his own defense two passages from his
recently published book, which the pro
fessor brought forward In proof of hla
statement. The first runs: "Natural spe
cies were produced In their primitive form
by God directly from matter," and the
second. "Divine power and wisdom are
manifested more clearly ln that they bring
about, by means of natural causes of racial
development, such manifold morphological
and biological conditions, than if they di
rectly created the systematic species hera
referred to." "If you or anybody else,"
Dr. Wasmann continues, "cherish the hopa
that my book may le the means of In
augurating a reform In school Instruction
in the Darwinian sense, that Is mora than
optimism; It Is Illusion." The Jesuit father
says that the evolution theory should ba
dealt with only In universities; it should
not ba Introduced In any form Into the
curriculum of the lower schools, though
teachers ought to be careful not to say
anything which conflicts with tha evolu
tion theory. Insofar as tha latter is Justified.
