Of Atlanta Schools
NEW YORK, April 9.—The J. B.
Greenhut Company, dry goods house,
was placed in the hands of receivers
to-day, when Walter C. Noyes and
William A. Marble were appointed by
Federal Judge Hand. The bill of
complaint was brought by the Mon
mouth Securities. Company. The com
pany consented to the receivership.
The bonds of the receivers were fixed
at $100,000 each.
In complaint the Monmouth Se
curities Company states that it is a
creditor to the amount of over $200,-
000. Rose & Paskus, attorneys *or
the Greenhut Company, filed the con
sent of the company to the receiver
ship.
The complaint sets forth that the
assets of the company are $7,466,419
and liabilities $3,513,060, exclusive of
underlying mortgages. There are two
mortgages on the company's build
ings, one for $1,750,000 and the other
for $1,200,000.
Samuel S. Meyers, attorney for
about 100 creditors, said their claims
aggregated between $500,000 and
$1,000,000. He stated that the ia-
bilities of the company would be $12,-
000,000. with assets of $6,000,000, ex
clusive of real estate.
Benjamin J. Paskus, of Rose & Pas
kus, representing the Greenhut com
pany. said that unquestionably the
business of the company would reor
ganize and continue. He said the to
tal liabilities were about $3,500,000,
and that the company had outstand
ing $6,000,000 in bonds. He pointed
out that the company’s liabilities were
covered *by quick asset* of $4,000,000,
including merchandise and other ac
counts outstanding.
A bank formerly, operated by the
company had been virtually liqui
dated, probably about $5,000,000 hav
ing been paid out last year. The bonds
outstanding are held by the public in
this country and abroad and by banks.
It is estimated that banks are in
terested to the amount of $300,000.
It is estimated that the company
did a business last year of $13,000,000.
The J. B. Greenhut Company was
incorporated under ehe law’s of the
State of New York November 6, 1910.
The company was a consolidation of
Greenhut & Co. and the Siegel-Coop-
er Company. The name of the con
solidated company originally was the
Greenhut-Siegel-Cooper Company,
but the name was changed to the
present title in May, 1914. The com
pany bad an outstanding issue of
$6,000,000 capital stock and $6,000,000
sinking fund 6 per cent bonds.
‘Pepper to Put
New ‘Pej? in
Ad Men
"The object of Pepper." announced
Pepper, upon making its now Friday,
"Is to inject a little spice into the ac
tivities of the Atlanta Ad Men’s Club."
Which wems to be mixing things up
a bit, but isn’t. Pepper is just what
it says it is, a publication to speed up
and properly exploit the achieve
ments,‘ideals and ultimate ge*U of the
Ad Men. Its first number came Fri
day, with the announcement that Jo
seph H. Atchison, chairman of the
club's protection committee, is editor.
Among the contents of the initial
number is the interesting announce
ment that Elbert Hubbard, the Sage
of East Aurora, is coming 9oon to ad
dress the club. There is a history of
the life and works of the Atlanta Ad
Men’s Club, a discussnon of the club’s
new educational committee and per
sonal quips and je^ts that are calcu
lated to result in laughs or fights.
Here is a sample, told about Julian
Boehm, vice president of the club:
"J.—I want 10 cents worth of vase
line."
"Drug Clerk—Do you want it scent
ed?
"J.—No, sir; I'll take it with me."

SEEKING TRUST
E
|
Manufacturers To Be Heard in
Government Suit Against Corn
Products Refining Company.
Important testimony in the Gov
ernment’s anti-trust suit against the
Corn Products Refining Company,
mammoth corporation formerly con
trolling the glucose industry of the
United States, will be taken Monday
morning at 9 o’clock in room No. 338
of the Federal Building, by Rowland
W. Phillips, of Washington, special
examiner appointed by the Depart
ment of Justice. The witnesses will
be D. R. Wilder, head of the D. R.
Wilder (Syrup) Manufacturing Com
pany; W. J. Peabody’, secretary;
Brooks Morgan, vice president of the
I Frank K. Block Company, manufac
turer* of candies; J. D. Blakeley and
Horner S. Prater, of Atlanta, and P. J.
Williams, of Columbus.
The Government will seek to show
j that the corporation adopted trust
methods in keeping down competition
in Georgia, one of the methods being
to inaugurate a profit-sharing or re
bate system. The Wilder Company,
desiring to quit the connection, de
ducted its rebate, $2,200, from a bill,
according to their contention. The
glucose ’ company refused to accept
tl^e settlement and went to court. It
won in the lower courts and finally in
the United Stales Supreme Court.
A point made by the Wilder Com
pany was that the refining company
was violating the anti-trust law and
could not collect, but the court took a
different view
The action by the Federal Govern
ment follows that suit closely’ and It Is
understood Mr. Wilder’s testimony
will be given considerable attention.
That concern started patronizing the
American Maize Products Company, a
competitor of the Corn Products Re
fining Company, as did others. The
corn concern is reported to be con
trolled b.v men who control the Stan
dard Oil Company, and the maize
concern by men who control the Royal
Baking Powder Company.
Attorney Marion Smith represented
Mr. Wilder in the litigation and At
torney James W. Austin represents
the alleged truat.
DarkWedding
Just Comes
to Light
Mr. and Mrs. Elijah G. Whitaker,
of Oakland City, left Atlanta early
Friday for a wedding trip. Out in
Oakland City there was hardly any
body who knew there was a Mrs.
Whitaker or that there had been a
wedding. Mr. and Mrs. Whitaker, you
will admit, are clever.
Thursday Mrs. Whitaker was mere
ly Miss Kate Lou Smith, very much
in love. She and her affianced, who
is «. druggist in Oakland City, felt
that the fuss and feathers of a wed
ding according to Hoyle would be too
much of a bother, and that their
friends might prove too gay and jest
ful, and that it was their own affair,
anyhow.
So they’ decided to pilot the good
ship Romance into uncharted waters,
and signed up Dr. A. C. Ward, of the
Oakland <’lty Baptist i'hurch, to help
them. The young druggist and Miss
Smith went for a stroll Thursday
night about 10 o'clock. In the shad
ows of the church door waited Dr.
Ward. In Mr. Whitaker's pockets
were the ring and the. license. They
slipped Into the dark church togeth
er, the three of them.
Other people were passing, and the
couple wanted to keep it a real secret.
No lights were lighted, and with only,
the glimmer of a fitful street light
through the window to guide them,
the ceremony was said.
And until they read this there are
a great many people in Oakland City
who won’t know anything about it.
Itchy Salt Rheum
Sometimes Called Eczema—Removed by
Hood's Sarsaparilla.
Salt rheum is one of the worst and ,
unfortunately' one of the most common
of all diseases. How It reddens the
skin, itches, oozes, dries and scales, aiul
then does this all over again! Some
times it covers the whole body with in
flamed. burning patches and causes In
tense suffering, which is commonly
worse at night.
Local applications may do some good,
but they can not permanently relieve.
The disease will continue to annoy, pain
and perhaps agonize, until the blood
has been purified and the general health
improved.
Ask your druggist for Hood’s Sar
saparilla, the good, old, reliable family
remedy. It has given perfect satisfac
tion in thousands of cases. Insist on
having Hood's Sarsaparilla, for no sub
stitute nets like it. Get it to-day.—Ad
vertisement.
Bogus Soldier Who
Lured Girl Is Sought
MILWAUKEE, April 9.—Rudolph
\ Melefeski, whose wearing of a Na-
I tional Guard uniform lured Alvina
| Boffek, 16, from Bennett, Mich., to
j Milwaukee to wed him, is now want
ed by the police on the charge that
' he conducted a fake recruiting office
I for the United States army, and
j thereby secured considerable credit
) from merchants.
He has disappeared since the police
found the girl and sent her home
Every druggist in town—your drug
gist and everybody’s druggist—has
noticed a great falling off in the sale
of calomel. They all give the same
reason. Dodson’s Liver Tone is tak
ing its place.
"•Calomel is dangerous, and people
know it, while Dodson's Liver Tone is
perfectly safe and gives better re
sults," said a prominent local drug
gist. Dodson’s Liver Tone is person
ally guaranteed by every druggist who
sells it. A large bottle costs 50k cents,
and if it fails to give easy relief in
every case of liver sluggishness and
constipation you have only to ask for
your money back.
Dodson’s Liver Tone is a pleasant-
tasting. purely vegetable remedy,
harmless to both children and adults.
Take a spoonful at night and wake up
feeling fine; no biliousness, sick head
ache, acid stomach or* constipated
bowels. It doesn’t gripe or cause in
convenience all the next day like vio
lent calomel. Take a dose of calomel
to-day’ and to-morrow you will feel
weak, sick and nauseated. Don’t lose
a day’s work!* Take Dodson’s Liver
Tone instead, and feel fin£, full of
vigor and ambition.—Advertisement.
Atlanta's public schools are in for
another survey—in fact, two more
surveys. One will be conducted by
the Atlanta Federation of Trades
through a committee composed of J.
M. Shearer, chairman; * James New
and S. A. Albright. Their work be
gan Friday. The other is that of the
special committee of Council, of seven
members, which was commissioned to
study school matters for report to the
Finance Committee as a means of
guidance in making up the June ap
portionment sheet.
The Council committee is deter
mined to accomplish its survey thor
oughly, according to Councilman C. L.
Ashley, one of the members.

Young Lawyers Told
To Study Bankruptcy
Typewriter Covers
To Hide the Booze
It behooves young lawyers to study
the bankruptcy laws and their appli
cation, in the opinion of J. H. Porter,
an Atlanta attorney, who addressed
the Atlanta Law School Thursday.
The speaker said the amount of bank
ruptcy practice in Atlanta and the
country generally has recently In
creased. and likely will continue to
increase. Bankruptcy administration,
he said, involves nice points which re
quire experience and discernment.
"The success which the law has had
in its pratical application.” declared
Mr. Porter, "has caused a large part
of criticism against to die down, and
it is generally recognized now as a
permanent law."

the German monopoly.
