' 8 THE OMAHA DAILY BEE : SATURDAY , FEBRUARY 4 , 1888. THE SLOMAN CASE DECIDED Judge Brewer Files His Opinion In an Important Matter. "AGAINST THE DEFENDANTS. Otlinr Doings " 1C Various Courts Tlio . QucHtlon of fl Demi IJpnt Salvation- H Clly XCWH. Scoring tlto Sloinnn < i. The opinion of Judge Urcwcr In the cruo of Hormim C. Fechhelmer vs Morris H. Slotnnn ut ill , wus fllcd with the clerk of the United States court yesterday. As the matter In question Is one of great Importance , n very full nhstract of thu Judge's finding Is here with given : The controversy Is ono between the se cured und unsecured creditors of Mori Is H. Slnrimn , n merchant doing business In tills city under the firm name of Sloman llros. The secured creditors uro known as the com plainants and the unsecured as the defend ants. The debtor disputes none of thocliilms and trouble arises by reason of the fact that In May , IbWi , Feclilieimcr , n Detroit creditor , comes to Omaha , and demand security. The debtor consented to give n chattel mortgage but Insisted on giving the same to all ills creditors. These mortgages were executed. Fechclmer fore closed and had u receiver appointed. The other creditors Hied cross-bills and obtained Judg ment. The receiver sold the stock and the money Is now In the court registry , and Is the object of pursuit by the various credi tors. In reviewing the history of Morris Slo- man's affairs , the court linds that prior to ISbO , ho was In partnership with his brother , Samuel A. Sloman , under the tlrm name of Sloman llrothers. They had two houses , ono In Chicago , and ono In Omaha. Kugcno Sloman , a younger brother was In charge of the Chicago house , having an interest In the profits of the concern. Morris Slotnau bought out his brother Samuel A. Sloman. The latter was ilnanciully responsible. In consideration of the purchase by Morris Sloman was n house and lot , some Wyoming Meat company stock , $5,000 in money , which was obtained by discounting a note In n bank , anil a note for 4,700. , Notlco of the dissolution was published in the Watchman , n paper of little circulation hi Omaha , and n copy was sent to Kugeno at Chicago with instructions to have the notice published in a dally paper of the least circulation. In January Morris Sloman made a statement of his financial condition to ono of the mercantllo agencies in this city , which made the following show ing : Total assets $12-lHM.iS ( : Total liabilities 70,335.11 In March ho made u second btatcmcnt. The showing : Total assets fG2 , 1.75 Total liabilities 11.4UU.OO Leaving n net worth of $43,1:11.75 : About tlds tinib ho attempted to organize n coiporntion in Chicago to ho known as the Chicago Hide and Wool company , but the project was t abandoned. On the 'iUlli of March a Chicairo agency criticised the finan cial condition of the house , and in April call reports were issui-d by the Omaha agency , and the rating of the house withdrawn1 From the latter part of Miirch until the closing up on May 2(1 ( , the Sloman brothers wcro ordering and receiving largo ( piantitics of goods. They dealt with numerous houses , sending out small bills In every direction , so that when the collapse came the unsecured creditors numbered something over ono hundred , amounting In the aggregitto to $50,1100 , The secured indebtedness was about the same , making the whole $100,000 , while the stock on hand only inventoried $5:1,000. : and on sale realized much less. In other words , in March Morris Sloman appears to have been worth $43,000 , while on the ' "Jth of of May ho was at least $50.000 behind hand. Practically in about two months and a half $100,000 disappeared. This indicates extreme carelessness , great losses or fraudulent con cealment. No satisfactory explanation is tendered , but on the contraryMorris Slomau refused to bo sworn as a witness until com pelled by an order of the court , claiming that tils witness fees hail been demanded and not paid , and was all through an unwilling wit ness. The books of the Omahu house were offered in evidence , and this branch of testimony has caused much delay in the preparation of this opinion. With other facts in the case they strengthen the conviction that there was something wrong In the financial transactions ot Morris Sloman , and before the secured creditors can do deprived of the benefit of their security. which is unquestionably legal In form and duly executed. Herman Kechhoimer was a merchant in Detroit. Samuel A. Sloman had been a partner of his. Afterwards the Slo- inan brothers were in the habit of exchang ing notes and drafts with him. S. A. Sloman went to Detroit and urged upon Fechhcimer n continuance of these exchanges with his brother Morris. There is no reason to doubt that the exchanges were kept up , or that the amount claimed by Fechhcimer wcro not duo and Justly duo. None of the complainants named was a witness , but until it is shown that the debts were not Just I shall find in their favor. In regard to Samurl A. Sloman : Ho was evidently the llmtncially responsible member of the firm. Ho retired , the collapse came , and the circumstances which led to this collapse indicate intentional wrong on the part of Morris Sloman. Notice of the retirement was given for the fiurposo of relieving Samuel A. Sloman from fur ther responsibility , but so given us to dis close the intent on the part of Morris Sloman ut Joust , to retain the benefit of the credit of Samuel A. Slomau's name gave to the busi ness , after his retirement. Samuel A. Sloman continued about the store and docs not bcem to have engaged in any now busi ness. Ho certainly was nwnro of the wrong contemplated. Ho urges Fediheinier to continue his accommodations and induces oilier of the complainants to sign papers for the accommodation of Sloman Hrothers , and while ho denies all knowledge of any fraud , it-looks decidedly that ho did and was privy to the whole scheme. Seine way' and sotne- where within the short period of about ten weeks , nearly $100.01X1 disappeared. Can it bo that Morris Sloman is the only ono who know of or accomplished such disappearance } I think not. My conclusion is that Samuel A. Sloman is not entitled to preference or protection as ngainst the general creditors. A decree will therefore bo entered securing the other com plainants in their preferences , and directing that they first bo paid out of the funds on hand. The matter will bo referred to n master to report what each ono has paid , and when , and on the coming in of that re port , a final decree will bo entered. A KNorri voi.NT or LAW. The decision of Judne Dundy in the case of the Nebraska Stock Yards eoniiMiiy vs. Wil liam H. Selhorhorn , et at , was filed with the cleric of the United States circuit court this morning.

It WHS n Jury trial. They Will OfKhnlzo mill Make nil Kf- I'urt to Obtain Hotter Freight Kates. The lumber merchants of * this city and state arc agitating the question of the unjust railroad rates between Chicago and other points and this city. They wlll bcforo muny * days , maltc a combined and determined effort toovcrcomo the discrltnlnatloli against this city. city.The The rate on lumber from Chicago to Kansas City , a distuned of 4S" miles , Is W cents , while from Chicago to Oin.iha , 50(1 ( miles. It is 10 cents. Tfils makes a difference of $5 per car of ten tons. The difference In rates from Ashland , how ever , Is the most marked. From Ashlamt to Kansas City the distance is 7:20 : miles , and the rate is 2 % cents , yet while the distance from Ashland to Omahu Is only iV > 3 miles , the rate is 25 cents. The lumbermen in the northwest - west will combine with the Nebraska deal ers. and , as snld before , a determined effort will bo made to secure Justice. DISUIIIMI NATION HKSTHOTKn. The telegraph In the HUB 1ms told of nj re duction In rates between Chicago and Omaha , and the reduction was estimated at about 50 per cent. The cut , however is not BO great , as may bo seen by the following figures : Old rates. 7ri fid ] W 30 'JT. 4otr : > iaysi Ill The cut iva * not unexpected , and talks with the local railway agouti developed the fact that It was of doubtful staying qualities , but while it lasts could hot result otherwise than benellcial to Omaha. It was brought about by u contest between the Chicago , Mil waukee & St. Paul road and the Chicago , Burlington it Quincy , through ono of its brandies , known as the llurlington & North ern. The llrst mentioned road lias the better part of its system In the north and north west , which it may consider its territory. The Uurlinglon has pushed into it to St. Paul by a train which leaves the main line at Aurora. The better part of the Uurlmgton territory lies in this direction , anil Into it , as is well known n few years ago , the Milwaukee pushed. On both the Uurllngton & Northern and the Milwaukee road between this city and Chicago cage , the local business is not so great as on other and older lines running mainly in the same direction. As a consequence , they may reduce the through rates without u mater ially great loss on the reduced locals. The I3urlington & Northern &omo time ago re duced its through rates from Chicago in the Milwaukee's territory t St. Paul , and in re taliation thu latter resolved , whenever rates to its territory were reduced by the Hurling- ton , to reduce Its rates into Ihe lattcr's terri tory in return. As u consequence , therefore , of the Burlington's cut to St. Paul , the Mil waukee has cut to Council Bluffs and Omaha. Fred Nash , general agent of the latter at this point , however , told a BKIJ reporter that ho had not up to that tiuo been ofllciully noti fied of'the reduction. James Preston , who Is tempo rarily representing the Chicago & Northwestern , said that his oftieo had been notified to pay no attention , at least until further notice , to the reduced rates. S. S. Stevens , of the Chicago & Rock Island , said ho had heard nothing of the cut. cut.It It is quite likely that neither of the two roads mentioned last will be in a hurry to adopt the new rates because of their heavy local business , which they seem to desire to maintain at established rates. Not the least advantageous feature of this reduction is the effect it will have upon the charge of discrimination against Omaha , which has been made against the several railroads which terminate hero , and which has been Hied by the Omaha freight bureau with the Iiitcr-stato commission at Washing ton. That charge- based upon the fact that Omaha is discriminated against because the rates to points beyond her , say from Chicago , uro not equal to the sum of the two locals. As an example : The old first-class rate be tween Chicago and Grand Island per 100 pounds was 4.1.15. The sum of the rate from Chicago to Omaha , 75 cents , and from Omaha to Grand Island , "I cents , was S1.2SI , making against Omaha a discrimination of 14 cents per 100 pounds. Under the present cut , however - over , the status is as follows : First-class rate per HKI pounds from Chicago to Omaha , 40 cents ; from Omaha to Grand Island , 54 cents ; total , 04 cents. This is a reduction of " 1 cents in the through rate between Chicago and Grand Island and n reduction of ! ! 5 cents from the old rate to this city. Tilts practically does away with the charge of dis crimination , at least ngainst those roads which agveo to the rates. If all the roads adopt them , which is not likely , the case now before the commission In Washington will bo removed and Omaha may rejoice in having won a victory without the intervention of that body , m.oriin ; nv A LAND sunn.

At ono of the late meetiiigi of the brick layers' union a committee was appointed to confcrwith the boss masons on the question ot w.igcs during the coming season. Yes terday a member of the union said that ono of the members of the committee had called upon llcnry Llvesey , president of the bosses' union and informed him that the committee was ready to meet a , committee of the bosses at their earliest convenience , Mr. hlvcsoy told the representative that hu would notify the other members of his association and en deavor to have a mooting hold at an early day. Up to the present time , so far as known , the bricklayers have not heard of the meeting they solicited. Ross anil "Jour" I'aintors. The journeymen painters profiting by the suggestion made In the Br.n to meet with the boss painters and ngrco upon a schedule of wages to govern duriug the remainder of the year , have invited the latter to n conference , \ \ hich will take place to-night In the store of the Hosenzwuig Sign company , on Fifteenth street and Capitol avenue. One of the jour neymen said that the intention was to avoid the Injury in Hie ted upon journeymen , bosses and the building of Omalm last year , which wus so protracted mid painful. "Wo can meet and agree upon terms,1' ' ho said , "and Unit int'uns work every day through the sea son. " Tills move on the part of the painters has been superinduced by the oxpoiienco of a number of them who took part In the strike of last hummer. U will bo remembered that the lockout lusted for somes time , and many of the painters , who hud been short of funds before it commenced , were placed In tight quarters bofora thu struggle came to on end. The strikers , at Urn time , were mainly In cen tos of the Knights of Labor , forming an as soinbly of then-own , No. O JO. The strike , as n consequence , gradually drifted into. the biipm-vlslon of the joint city executive board. Their action , to some people , Was not entirely satisfactory , mid ' the uiuttcr , ut length reached. tUo . state . executive board. Ono of the first actions taken by that body , or at least Its chairman , was the endorsement of the strikers , who be longed to the asscmhy , by authorlring them to incur whatever Indebtedness was consid ered necessary to afford them food and shel ter , and the same would be liquidated by the order. As a consequence , the men ran bills for sustenance amounting , It Is variously esti mated , to between WK ) and * * ) . The Pain ters' Assembly H.'J.i'.i has frequently since that time , been asked to pay the money , hut declined , on the ground that the money for It should coma out of the treasury of the State assembly. The latter body mot hero two weeks ago , and aft jr hearing both sides of the question decided that the chairman of the state executive board of the order was not justlllcd in issuing the order above referred to , that the debt was consequently Irreg ular and declined to hold itself re sponsible for It. This action , It Is stated , In censed the painters and caused them to sur render their charter as an assembly of the Knights of Labor and organize n painters' union. It is stated , notwithstanding the opinion above given us coming from a painter , that there arc some men In the union who claim that they have the "bulge" on the con tractors and propose to bring them to terms. Hut this view is repudiated by the greater part of the painters , who nro disposed to meet the bosses on fair and equitable ground' . Dlcliulil Safes.

Judge Shields wiggled impatiently In his chair for hours yesterday and listened to lawyers jabber and fume over a case In which the evidence was of such a character ns to Impress the judge with.u' ' feeling that there was a largo sized nigger. In the fence. The complainant was Thomas F. liupys and the defendant the American' Express com pany. Dupys was put on the stand and told Ills story to the effect that ho left n trunk containing clothing and a'dlamond pin valued nt $150 behind him at St. Paul and came on to Omaha. Sometime after his arrival ho hero ho ordered the trunk to bo shipped to him over the line of the express company In ques tion , and later , upon calling for ) t at the of- llco in this city ho found the trunk had been demolished enroute , The hinge's wcro broken and the to ] ) battered in. Ho made a hurried examination of his effects and at the time found everything , as lie supposed , safe and intact. Dupys took his overcoat from the trunk , which ho had removed to his room , when a more minute examination revealed the loss of the diamond stud , and besides , as ho alleges , two suits of clothes. " Dupys ut once commenced action ngainst the company in a justice court to secure damages for the loss of his property , and the case was appealed to Judge Shields fqc hear ing yesterday. The judge , in rendering his decision in favor of the company , said that ho was Inspired to do so from the fact that he did not believe Dupys had u diamond pin which he says he lost.

Gooil persons holding land contracts are like ly to lind thombolvcs in trouble unless they are paid as per agreement. It seems that the buyer binds himself to pay for the lot , the same as the heller does to deliver the lot , and in case of default the snllcr can get judgment at any time after payments uro due and unpaid. Parties holding contracts should secure an adjustment1 with the seller if they don't want property , and wisli to bo relieved of responsibility. This seems the only safe way to do.
