Says American Managers of a Ball-way Company Are Partly Re-t ponsiblt For th Trouble. Mr. W. Godfrey Hunter, wife of the Minister to Guatemala, arrived In Louisville yesterday accompanied by W. Godfrey Hunter, Jr.

Telegraphic dispatches from New Orleans announced yesterday morning that a round robin was to be forwarded to Washington by the American residents of Guatemala setting forth charge against W. Godfrey Hunter, the American Minister. In this. It was said that Dr. Hunter would be charged with criminal negligence in the support of American rights and would set forth in full the grievances of the American residents who had suffered from his Inaction.

Vp to a late hour yesterday the round robin had not been received at Washington. In view of these dispatches, the arrival in Louisville of Mr. Hunter and son is of more than usual interest. Mrs. Hunter declares that she knows nothing of any charge against her husband and does not believe that any reasonable grounds of complaint against hls administration of affairs exlsta Sh attributes the ill feeling toward Dr.

Hunter to the fact that the managers of the Guatemala Northern Railway Company, who are all Americana have been to frequent conflict with the native Government over the manner In which the affairs of the road have been conducted. She says that each side claims that the other has violated agreements, but that Dr. Hunter bas done his best to bring about an amicable settlement and all charge that he Is In with the Government are wholly untrue. One reason assigned by Mrs. Hunter for the prevailing dissatisfaction Is that the Government Is millions of dollars in debt and that, while the President is making every effort to meet all Just claims, the work of repayment Is necessarily slow.

The chief creditors are the British, German and American residents, and Mrs. Hunter believes that It ia unreasonable on the part of the latter to think that their claims should all be attended to first. Mr. Hunter expects to spend about six weeks in Kentucky, dividing the time between Louisville and BurksvlUe. MYSTERY DEEPENS.

SEPTEMBER 21. 1SD3. BAIIKRUPT. Decision In SImonson Whiteson Co. Case.

JUDGE EVAN'S ANGRY. SEVERE REBUKE GIVEN THE DEFENDANTS' ATTORNEYS. TILT BETWEEN LAWYERS. Judge Evans. In the Federal Court, yesterday reaffirmed his former decision and for the second time declared the assigned firm of SImonson, Whiteson Co.

bankrupts. In so doing th court overruled every objection made by th defendants' lawyer and affirmed every argument advanced for th plaintiff a Ia delivering hi opinion. Judge Evans incidentally said of defendants' lawyers. M. D.

A. and J. G. Sachs: There 1 more than a suspicion that the storm center In this whole trouNe was around th efforts of defendants counsel to secure a large fee for themselves. Indeed, when listening to the testimony It was Impossible to resist the conviction that those attorneys were the real litigants." An attempt was made to prove that these lawyers have been attorneys not only for the assignee, M.

Comlngor, but also for the assignor. Simonscn, Whiteson A Co. From the the Judge stated. It would seem that the object had been to divert the estate Into lawyer fees. Nothing that the plaintiffs had done was sufficient to cause an estoppel of the bankruptcy proceedings.

The attorneys for the plaintiffs Introduced into court a paper signed by the defendants lawyers. In which It was agreed to wind up the affairs of Simon-son, Whiteson Co. for It. 500. Later this agreement was repudiated.

An exciting scene ensued when one of th lawyers for the plaintiffs told an attorney for the defense that until this case his professional word had been good. "From now on, continued the speaker. "I would require a signed paper, with witnesses. In dealing with you. Judge Evans reviewed the fact that at the time of the failure the firm of SImonson.

Whiteson Co. owed $110,000. with 192,000 asseta There was enough money to liquidate all debts at fifty cents on the dollar, pay all fees and still leave almost 120.000 over. Now. however, the firm waa bankrupt and could not settle at the fifty-cent ratio.

It was not known where the money had gone. The Judge estimated the cost of winding up the estate in the bankruptcy court as compared with the State courts. In the bankruptcy court the cost would be scarcely In excess of J1.000. while In the State courts It would foot up to $10,000. The bankruptcy dissolves the relation of landlord and tenant, and this would release the bankrupts from liability under their lease.

The attorneys for Senshelmer. Leven-son A Messrs. Kohrv, Baird and Spindle, will now proceed to hunt for the money which the- assigned firm Is said to have possessed. i OLD VETERANS MEET. Beunion In New Albany of th Eighty-First Tndlana Infantry, of Civil War Fun.

The trust claims to control 120 per cent, of th sugar capacity of th country and It wants 100 per cent or all of the business. In Its efforts to control the trade it has brought on a fight with the outside men, which th grocers say will Injur them, and they are trying to forestall the destruction of their present profit. i At the meeting yesterday th situation was thoroughly discussed, and th grocers- took steps to protect themselves. A prominent member of the association said last night that no agreement had been made to buy exclusively of either the trust or outsiders. Every distributor is given th right to buy his sugar from th trust or from any outside refiner.

The policy of the American Sugar Refining Company Is similar to that of the Distilling Company of America, th big liquor trust. WOT SO BAD AS REPORTED. Out of 213 Case of Yellow Fever At Key West Only Twelv Patients Hav Died. Mr. J.

Th large majority of th prisoners brought ln ar charged with violating th revenue laws, and th space ln th county Jail In which the persons are confined is rapidly filling. Deputy Marshal J. Morgan, whose headquarters are at.

James Harnett. John Hogg ad E. Angel, all live In Owsley county, where pose as small farmers. They ar said to make farming a side-iwsue, however, and devote most of their time to the distilling of liquor. They are of a selflsh disposition, and refuse to giv Uncle Sam hi bar of the proceeds.

Ia fact, they think that Uncle Sam is a partner in th whisky trust and is trying to drive them out of business by making them pay what they call an exorbitant tax. In order to successfully carry on their business they are compelled to build their stills in some secret place, not frequented by the revenue collector. The three moonshiners who were brought in yesterday succeeded, in keeping the location of their stills a secret, but were themselves caught. The other two prisoners are Jesse and James Keely. Their home is in Owsley county, and tor miles around Jesse Keely Is known as a "bed man." About twt years ago George Thompson, a Deputy Marshal, tried to arrest Jesse Neely, and while th officer was reading the warrant Neely drew a revolver and shot him.

Thompson recovered, but Neeiy escaped. Recently he returned to Owsley county, and Deputy Marshal Morgan, hearing of his return, went to place him under arrest. Neely waa sitting on the front porch of his brother's home when be saw the officer coming. Calmly raising a Winchester rifle, which was lying on his knee, he shot at the Deputy Marshal five times, but the hitter never wavered, and. drawing his revolver, asked Neely to surrender.

He complied, and Morgan, after securing his brother, took them to Beattyvllle, WANT A RECEIVER. Suit Against Kentucky Distilleries and Warehouse Association Comes TJp In Federal Court.
