St rite or'no strike the merchants ot
lAru ns wick enjoyed n good business
last night Whether it came from
along the river front or elsewhere It
was in evidence aad many •of the lead
log merchants reported that their bust
nesu was as good as it has been any
Saturday night recently.
Tho result of a strike is naturally
felt on Saturdays anu therefore it
was expected that the merchants o’
the city would feel the result last
night, It being the first Saturday
since the Longshoreman's strike w.
declared, but thd merchants did not
notice the difference and were surpris
ed when they close i last night to
find the receipts for the day had been
as Ity-ge as on previous Saturdays.
While there are a number out on
the strike, still. In many Instances,
their places have I'ccen tilled and the
pav rolls last night were not very
much leas*than usual. A News repor
ter late last night, visited several of
the leading merchants and they all do
clnred that they had not fell‘the re

The pay rolls ot other Industrie:

night, which caused the circulation

EVELYN THAW’S
TESTIMONY IS NOW
REAL ISSUE IN CASE
\ , •-
District Attorney Will Try to Dis-
it—Husband will Swear
His Wife’s Story True.
*
New York, Feb. 9.—The testimony
of Evelyn Nesbitt Thaw in defense
of her husband has entirely changed
the famous case and upon her tes
timony now, it is believed, pends the
outcome of the ease. If the district
attorney succeeds in discrediting most
of her testimony, as he will endeavor
to do on tic: cross-examination and
by introducing witnesses in rebuttal,
it is believed that, lie will have a fair
chance of convicting Havs**Thaw, but
If the defence proves that her state
ments are true; if she goes through
the vross-exaraination without vary
ing from her lirst testimony, her hus
band will be a clear man before the
end of the* week. That is the status
of the Thaw ease today, which, is the
topic of conversation iu New York
and all over the country.
That Mrs. Thaw'sJtestimony has
had Us effect upon ffie Jury uud the'
general public thorn is no doubt If
11 him said Is absolutely true, and
many believe It is, then her husband,
in the minds of the people and not
the law. had the right to take tho
life of Stanford White and the Jury
will acquit him.
White's Friend* Raise Money..
One development ot the case today
was the activity of many of the
friends ot the deal architect. Real
ising that Mrs. Thaw’s testimony was
the real issue of the.trial, they will
make every possible to dispose
of her damaging testimony, and to
that end a large fund was today rais
ed to lie used for that purpose. What,

before- the killing is a point to be d<>

Another piece of testimony to be In

DECISION OF IHE REfEfiff
McLaughlin, Deen & Cos., on Petition
of Bankrupt Partner, Were Also
Aujudicaited Bankrupt.
Can Pay Debts.
Before Referee Max Isaac, in the
bankruptcy court yesterday, the peti
tion of John*Ellis, Jr., as an iudivi
dual and as ,% member of the firm o

firm
by linnet &
Conyers and V. iatePadgett and the
non-consenting part H.unett &
Latudin and J. 11. Thouw“T?r^^
The case, Which is an
is familiar to News readers Job infin
ite. Jr., who was a member of the
firm of McLaughlin. Been & Company,
recently filed his petition in bank
ruptcy, alleging his insolvency and
i1..0 ..solvency of the firm and tha
'he a. ts of the firm are now in the
nands of a receiver appointed' by im
state court.
The other two members of the firm
tiled a motion with the referee asking,
that the adjudication of the firm In
vacated and aiyipiled for the roajyjj.
that the firm was not innoU m
Arguments were heard and it and g. >
oped that McLaughlin is worth about
$60,000 and Deen about $200,000 anrl
Ellis is insolvent and unable to pay
his debts, but the business of the firm
is shown to be insolvent and the ref
ere© declared it insolvent and ii was
thrown into bankruptcy.
The following from his opinion, how
ever, shows that, the members of thi
firm still have the right to pay the
firm debts, etc.
"As to the solvency of the non-con
senting partners, suffice is to say
that they would still have the right
to pay firm debts and the legal re
sponsibility as to these would still
exist unless they too asked individual
discharge from firm debts and credi
tors of the firm as to their right to
resort to the legal responsibility of
the individual to pay the firm debts,
lose none of their remedies by reason
of the adjudication of the firm
“ Such adjudication is absolutely es
sential to the administration of this
estate of bankruptcy. Without it the
individual partner, Ellis, has no es
tate, whereas in fact and law he has
an estate.
"The court is not unmindful of the
provisions of section 5. of the ‘hank
ruptcy act, but. in this case the non
consenting partners have placed them
selves in the attitude of Indirectly
consenting to the adjudiacation of said
firm by committing an act of bank
ruptcy in having a receiver placed in
charge of their property in the state
court, and have thereby put it beyond
their power to settle.,''

Some in Positon to Know Say That
Georgia Will be Without a Sena
tor Until Legislature Meets
Next June.
Washington, Feb. 9. -T! at SAator
Bacon, of Georgia, can, ... n wtna
iation of the law, hold his ;>lacoka3
United States senae r fi. the time t.mkn
March 4 next, the expiration oi his
present term, to the time when he
shall l-.e elected by the Georgia legis
lature next June, is the claim advan
ced here today by prominent men
familiar with the situation,
Senator Bacon and his friends have
thought all along that they had the
situation well in hand when t cy se
eured the promise of Governor Ter
reli to appoint Mr. Bacon as a sena
tor to fill out the interim which came
as a result of the change of the legis
lature's time of meeting from Novem
ber t.o June. Now the claim is made
that under the law the governor has
no right to make the appointment
unless the vacancy he caused by res
ignation or death- of the holder of
the job. Investigation seems to up
hold ihe statement, .and if-tbo point
we re pressed there would be no dif
i lieulty in showing that Mr. Bacon
! would have no right to tho salary iu
tho name of Uni: and .. .. senator
from March 1- soul next June.
Some atnusem nt. has been caused
by the situation because of the possi
bility of the president calling aa extra
session of the senate to make the new
Japanese treaty, if there is any one
thing on which Bacon takes a stand
it is the science oi 1 making treaties,
the art of placing commas in such doc
uments, tiie ground with his ability
to patch up a paper of this sort that
will be binding as steel and lasting
as adamant.
hSould Governor Terrell refuse to
make the appointment, which it is
thought to be unlawful, liaqpn
would have to retire to his Georgia
home or git idly by in Washington
while Lodge and other treaty lumin
aries held their rare feast ot com
mas and binding clauses. The treaty
would no douibt. be finished before, the
Georgia legislator© met in Juno and
