Some time bark Colonel J. J. Steadmnn ,
clerk of the United States circuit court , re
ceived n letter of Inquiry from Peyton
Boyle , managing editor of the West Pub
lishing company , Washington , I ) . C. , making
Inquiries In regard to a decision ot Judge
Woolson's , reported In the Chicago Legal
News. In this article the course adopted by
Judge Woolson was described as novel , but
effective. The nrtlclc continued :
The net provides that no petition for Invol
untary bankruptcy should bo filed within
four months from the passage thereof. The
act was passed July 1 , so no proceedings for
Involuntary bankruptcy in the regular way
can be commenced before November 1. It is
clear , however , that from the first day of
i July the relations of debtor nnd creditor ,
| nnd of ono creditor to all other creditors , ore
governed by the law passed of that date. A
debtor In falling circumstances Is forbidden
to prefer ono creditor to the prejudice of the
others , cither by mortgage , bill of sale or
other transfer of his property.
The case to which Ihe nrtlclo quoted re
ferred was ono from Ottumwa , wlwro a
debtor In falling circumstances executed n
clmttc-1 mnrtgagf to his fntl'T July -0. ISiis.
covering his entire asset ? . The father took
possession n. . was about to dlspo s ?
of the mortgaged property. Meltuer
father nor HOII had any other prop
erty subject to execution. Ottuimvn jobbers
and outildo creditors began a proceeding In
the United States court and asked an In
junction to pievent the disposition of this
property and the appointment of a receiver
to hold the ranio until November 1 , nt
which timenrocccdlngs In bankruptcy would
bo comments' ! In the regular way.

Colonel Stcadman referred the letter nnd
article to Judge Woolson , who sent the
following reply yesterday to him :
The substance of the case presented to me
1 In correctly stated , but I dcclln-d to IFSIH ;
the preliminary writ as prayed. I found nc
authority In the bankruptcy statute lor sucli
writ at the present time. Counsel concet-eil
the debt claimed by the father was buna
Ado. No nttnck was made on either mort
gage or bill of sale to the father , as with
out consideration or void , as fraudulent
madi ) under the familiar general principles
applicable. Tha sole ground of attack was
that these were , under the bankruptcy law-
unlawful preferences to the father us cm <
of the son's creditors ; and that , as the bank
ruptcy statute , by Its very terms , was ex
pressly "In full force nnd effect , " then ; act !
of the son were , under this statute , unlawfu
and .voidnbln now. This unlawful charnctc-i
of the sale was a present matter. True , 1
was argued , no petition in Involuntary bank
ruptcy can bo filed until November ; bu
thnt only applies to the remedy when sough
through bankruptcy. When such petition I :
( lied nnd these acts stated us the ground !
for the adjudication of bankruptcy , i ucl
Judgment must bo entered nnd tlieso acts de
clarud unlawful nnd set aside.
llonco it was said , "Equity will not quletl ;
sit by and see the property dissipated b :
acts now unlawful under this statute nov
In full force , " and which acts will hereattu
bo set aside and annulled , when present la-
activity on the part of equity wouM be ti
knowingly permit the properu- be dlssi
patcd nnd nothing bo left for the creditor ;
when the time arrives within Which they ma ;
apply the remedy ia bankruptcy. There Is i
wrong hero , Jor the correction of which o
thfl staying of Its complete operntion wi
must look to equity.
A mil mi-lit l-'ull of I'lirco.
I could not deny that this line of crgu
ment possessed much force ; but the act :
of which they complnined were , except fo
the bankruptcy statute , lawful and vulia
So far as gi-n.'ral principles nro conccrnei
equity Is powerless to Interfere with o
affect the mortgage nnd conveyance. A vnlii
debt existed. The debtor hnd , under thcsi
general principles , the right to prefer hli
fnther ns the owner of n bona lido debt
Wheru in the bankruptcy statute Is then
contained any provision affecting or chnng

rospi-i f Nowhere except ns artectlni

does not make that unlawful under these
general principle * , hut unlawful under the
( revision * of the ntnltlU * . Congress might
Imvo authorized courts of equity to net ns
requested. Congress did not BO authorize ;
ot len t by nny express provision of the
statute. Hut congress did expressly ptny nc-
tlon under the stntute until November. The
argument presented might well be presented
to congress. Hnd It l > oen presented before
the paasngo of tills stntute popalbly the
stntuto might have covered the points pro-
pented. Thn courts may not thus attempt to
supply what Is claimed ns nn omission on
the part of congress. The duty Is on the
court to apply the statute ns It Etnnds.
Since , then , under the general equitable
principles , the nets complained of ore not
unlawful , and alnco this stntute does not
confer the power on the court now to act
ns herein sought , I announced that I saw nc
right In the court to ordsr the writ of In
junction. Hut , as the point was a new one
ns counsel urging It were nppnrcntly sincere
In the belief that the point they were urglnp
was sound , I stated thnt I would not ordci
the writ ex parte , I would set n day foi
hearing the application ( which I declined tc
grant ex pnrte ) nnd would meanwhile Issue
a restraining order , which would not seri
ously nfl'ect the father or the son. Thi
father was selling the goods nt retail nt th <
country store whcro the son hnd done busi
ness nnd hnd placed the notes , accounts
etc. , In the hands of attorneys for collection
I therefore Issued a restraining order , re
straining the father from Incumberlng tht
goods , or selling or disposing of them othei
than In the usunl course of retail as gener
ally pursued In such stores , nnd restrnlnlnf
the father nnd attorneys from selling or col
lecting notes , nccount * . etc. , except ns tin
procecdu were deposited In a dcslgnntct
bank , until nppllcntlon should be henrd
This did not Interfere with the usual coursi
of business , etc. , but preserved the nsseti
during the very brief period until nppllcattoi
could bo henrd with both parties repro
Bcnted. Hut I advised counsel applying fo ;
writ that , unless my mind was brought ti
n different conclusion , the application wouli
bo refused , nnd thnt I now granted time enl ;
because of the numerous other points , Hi
Importance as n precedent In this district
and becnupo thus I could tnko time for it
mature consideration and meanwhile preserve
serve matters In stain quo without dctrlmen
to cither party to the action. Upon servlci
of notice of time of hearing un nmlcnble nr
rangement was had , as I am Informed
whereby the conveyance to the father wa
to hiivo the effect of an assignment for th
benefit of the creditors generally , and th' '
matter did not again come before mo.

ItN it IllntN ,
Commencing this month the city govern
ment will run on a cosh basis , and wll
continue to bo so run as long as the bnl
ance In the police fund Is sumclent to nice
the current expenses. For the first tim <
In several months employes of the city , In
eluding the members of the police nnd fir
departments , will receive their snlarie
practically In cash. That Is to pay the ;
will bo paid In warrants on the police funi
Instead of the general fund , ns heretofore
The money ! n the former fund cnn be pnli
out by Citj Treasurer
Reed while the gen
ernl fund , ns is well known , hns bee :
tied \ip owing to the Injunction suit brough
ar.alnst the the city by Attorney J. J. Shea
The new nrrnnsement Is the result of th
ordinance Introduced by Alderman Chris
tensen , which provides "that the city conn
ell may nt the time of allowing bills fo
the current , ordinary nnd necessary ex
penses , of sold city , order the Bamo pali
by warrants drawn upon the police fund
which warrants shall bo paid out of th
police fund established by the ordinance
of the city. "
At the city council meeting next Mon
day night , when the usual grist of bills am
salary HsU for the preceding month com
up a resolution will bo adopted authorlz
Ing City Auditor Evans
to drnw the wnr
rants for them on the police Instead of th
general fund , as heretofore. Holders o
these warrants can then go nt once to ih
city treasurer nnd secure the cash , whicl
will bo a condition of affairs most satlsfac
tory to all concerned.
How long the city will bo able to con
duct Its business on a cash basis Is un
certain , but It is estimated the police func
will supply the necessary money for thi
next thrco months at least. Hy thnt tlnr
It Is hoped that the pending litigation wll
bo decided and that the warrants drnwi
on the general fund will once more find i
ready market nt n slight discount.
The pollen fund during the year average :
In the neighborhood of $32.000 , and Is de
rived from all licenses , fines , pcnaltlei
and forfeitures , together with nl
taxes received by renfon of the mule
law , whether the same bo paid directly t
the city by the taxpayers or received by th
city from the county treasurer ns such mule
law taxes. The balance in the police fun
nt present Is in round figures $14,000 an
the current bills nnd salary list of em
ployes nnd city officers for the procedln
month , warrants for which will bo drnw :
on the fund next Monday night , will amoun
to between $3,000 and $ G,000. Thus It wll
readily be seen thnt the police fund wll
bo exhausted nt the end of three months
The current expenses of the city govern
ment average close on JG.OOO per month
The pay roll of the fire department amount
to about $1,1.10 while that of the police de
partment Is $1,250. The engineer's depart
ment costs $150 a month to run nnd th
sewer department $100. Exclusive of th
salary of the etreet commlbsloner , which I
? Gr > a month , the- cost of maintaining tin
department of streets nnd nlleys amount
to $400 per month. The cost to the city fo
electric lighting each month Is $925.
The average monthly salary list ot tin
different city ofllcers amounts to $930 pc
month , but of this only $ CG6 Is paid by thi
month. The salary of the Judge of th' '

DES MO1NES , Sept 2. ( Specinl Tele
gram. ) It has been decided that the Fifty-
second , and the Fiftieth when It arrives
probably next Monday or Tuesday , shall

mon will be on regular pay with 25 cents
additional for rations The furlough maybe
bo extended to sixty days. Colonel Hum
phreys 'thinks the men may get off to their
homes by a week from today.
The first of the deaths occurred at Camp
McKlnley at 2 o'clock this afternoon In the
person of Clarence Lane , a private In Com
pany P , from Algona. Lane was nn occu
pant of the Hed Cross hospital , but died
of heart failure. He ate a good breakfast
this morning nnd seemed to bo getting
along nicely. About 2 o'clock he roused up
In bed 'to ' get a drink of Ice water and fell
back gently and breathed his last. This
makes the nineteenth death for the Fifty-
second Iowa.
The Fifth nnd Sixth batteries ot Iowa
Light artillery will finish mustering out and
start homo Monday. Their pay roll has
been sent to Omaha nnd the men will be
paid Monday morning. It was not neces
sary to examine many of the men In either
of the batteries. They were all willing to
go uncxnmined , testifying that they had re
ceived no disabilities nor contracted any
diseases , which would be sufficient grounds
for a pension. A few men In each com
pany only were examined.
Captain Long of the Burlington battery
staled that his men would be anxious to
bo transferred to the Fifty-first Iowa , but
ho considered this hopeless. "When wo re
turn to Burlington I hnvo been given good
assurances that we will become a national
guard battery and be given n good armory
on the levco by the citizens of Burlington , "

WEBSTER CITY. la. , Sept. 2. ( Special. )
The boldest robbery that cvor occurred In
this city took place W.cdnasday nftcrnooa.
Dr. Mcdberry , n druggist , was robbed of
J460 In cash. The fitoro wai full of cus
tomers and the druggist and his daughter ,
who were waiting on the trade , did not
notice anyone In the neighborhood of the
safe. The big Iron safe stands alircst next
to a door which forms the Uos Molnes street
entrance nnd ns It Is a well traveled street
It Is thought remarkable that no ono of thr
many constantly passing saw the snak
thief. The matter , as soon as the robbery
waa discovered by Dr. Medbcrry , which was
probably nn hour after It occurred , wna
reported to Sheriff Sinclair. A neighboring
merchant had called to act change for a
$10 bill , as It waa known qult3 universally
that Dr. Medbcrry always had money In hlo
safe nnd made n practice of nsver depositIng -
Ing until the amount saved reached In the
neighborhood of $500. As soon as he went
to the safe to get the change ho discovered
every cent gone. The only possible clue of
who might have done the work Is a man
who entered the store a short time bcforu
the robbery Is thought to have taken place
and made a small purchase. The entile
force of officers of the city have been Oe-
talled to watch all trains that leave town
and no suspicious characters will ho al
lowed to go until they have been through
the sweat box.

DES M01NES , Sept. 2. ( Special. ) For
the last two or three weeks there has been
disaffection between fire Insurance men duo
to the threatened overthrow of the Bennett
rates , which provide nn uniform basis for
companies of the state. The trouble began
when It was learned that several companies
had broken louse from the compact nnd
surreptitiously cut their rates. This fact
being promulgated set all the tire Insurance
men In the city by their cnrs and their
outcry has been loud nnd long. It Is said
thnt should the Bennett bureau , which Is
located In Cedar Rapids , bo undone by this
local rupture , It will bo a long day before
another compromise is elfccted. Some ot
the larger agencies seem Indisposed to make
any agreement nnd contend that they have
to give up their entire commissions. In the
meanwhile , the assured Is getting his build
ings nnd property protected nt bargain
figures.
It Is hoped by Insurance men that the
local managers who nro In Chicago at pres
ent , will bring nbout some arrangement nc- j
ceptable to all concerned. The continuation
of the present state of affairs would bo
critical to the fortunes of n number of
companies.
