STARTLING ARRESTS AT MANCHESTER. ALLEGED 005IPANT FRAUDS. LIVERPOOL INTERESTS.

CORPORATION FINANCE. TO THE EDITOR OF THE DAILY TOST. writing you under date 18tb inst. we have had two more by the chairmen of two verv important committees of the Finance and Electric Power and Lighting. The peculiar feature about these annual reviews is the fact that whilst they deal largely in generalities they do not touch upon the points on which the public are most anxious for information.

Take for example the speech of the chairman of the Finance Committee. We are told that by che help of bills, issued under the Act of Parliament obtained in 1900, the large balance due to our bankers was paid off, but we are not told to what extent the Coroprate debt was increased during the year, which, after all, is what we are most concerned to know; nor are we told at what cost the temporary loans were obtained. Considering what the Bank rate was during this period it is more than probable that at least 4 per cent, per annum had to be paid for these temporary loans. This is not the time to go into the question as to the probable permanent advance in the value of money owing to the large war expenditure, but it is point which must be seriously considercc? in connection with the large expenditure of capital now being made by the city. We know that some years ago when the liberal parfy were in power they were fortunate enough to float a loan of over nearly £1.500,000 at 2J per but now 31 per cent, has to be offered for This means a very serious ulHerence in the actual cost of carrying on tfie undertakings of the Corporation, and the call for economy becomes more needful than ever.

In the report of the speech of the Electric Power and Lighting Committee nothing is told us as to receipts and expenditure during the year, and taking into account the fact that last year the usual provision was not made for the reserve fund, it would be interesting to know if double provision would bo made this year. It would also have been gratifying to know what saving had been effected in the cost of coal as promised. All these and other points on which the public desired information are withheld, and we can only suppose that silence in this case is golden. Yours, ALEX. ARMOUR.

Acting upon a warrant issued by a Liverpool solicitor, Chief Detective-inspector Cordin. Detective-inspector Walker, and other officers paid a surprise visit to promises in Headyard, Corporation-street. Manchester, and arrested two stylishly-dressed middle-aged men named Walter Arnold Bradley and Frederick Baines on a charge of conspiring together to obtain money from various people. Bradley for some five years lived in most lavish style at a pretentious house at Ripenden. near Halifax, bpt bis goods and chattels, including horses and carriages, were sold by public auction ora Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday last week.

Ho had since then taken an office in York-street. Baines gave an address in Moss Side, Manchester. Both men are lodged at the Manchester Town Hall, and will be brought up at the Manchester City Police Court today. Tho police have brought away from the premises in Bull's Head-yard a great mass of documents, relating to the Patent Novelty Manufacturing Company, Limited. At Thursday meeting of the company, after tho dose of long and stormy proceedings.

and after Mr. Roderick Williams, of Liverpool, had proposed the compulsory winding up of the concern so as to at once procure the revelation of through 'he court, an amendment was carried appointing a committee of investigation, consisting of two Manchester and Liverpool solicitors, two Manchester and Liverpool merchants, and the financial editor of the Tho first meeting of the committee is called at the offices for this evening. It is alleged that Bradley had a career in London prior to commencing to run his one man companies in Manchester. He has also been concerned in years past with some lead mining promotions. The arrests will create much surprise in Liverpool as well as in Manchester.

Many thousands of the Patent Novelty warrants are held in Liverpool, as well as in Manchester and district. The method of the sale of the warrants has been a peculiarly ingenious one. FAILURE. SHAREHOLDERS CALLED UPON CASES AT THE HIGH COURT. In the Manx High Court yesterday, the liquidator of Banking Company sued Daniel Lees, a retired tradesman, for £lOl, tho balance of £4 call on sixty shares held by tho defendant in the ill-fated bank.

Mr. T. W. Caine promised a defence within seven days. Robert Henry Corteen, another shareholder, was sued by the same plaintiff tor £133, of which £34 was due to the call, and £139 was an overdraft.

The matter was continued for counsel to hand in a defence.

In the last-named suit the plaintiff, who is an author and stage critic, claimed three explained that the defendant was in the variety business, and that when performing at the Palace. Douglas, last season, he engaged the plaintiff to write a complimentary notice for the local Press, and the plaintiff did.

He was now claiming bis fee for the defendant said that the notice was described by bis client as utter ruboish. He did not approve it, and consequently the agreement was A commission to take the evidence of the defendant in was asked for. and allowed. BANKRUPTCY CASES.

The Liberal party as an active political body has been for some years defunct at Preston, hut last night saw its resuscitation at an inautrura-I meeting of the Working Liberal Association of Preston, presided over by Mr.

Norval Helme, M.P. for Lancaster, and addressed both by him and Mr. George M.P. for Bolton. The latter, in a vigorous -speech, said that they had now to cuter on a phaso of politics, the permanent idea of which should be the idea of socialism.

They had got to look at their collective as well as their individual rights, and Liberalism of the future would have to be much more collective than had been Liberalism of the past. Only like fhat would commend itself to the moving, throbbing.working people of the present day. Discussing the question of the the South African war, the speaker said the Liberal party had made a mistake in entering into academic discussions as to the theory of the war. instead of practical discussions as to the reanagemeut of it. When thinking of the war, he thought of the amirehing of the fame of this nation and disrepute that had been brought upon us, because they went to the quarrel not properly prepared for an eoiratrM into it.

NEW COUNTYCOURT JUDGE. It is understood in legal circles that Judge Edge, of the CTorkenwell County Court, is to be the successor to Mr. Lumlev Smith. K.C., as judge of the Westminster County Court. LADY CARLISLES TEMPERANCE CRUSADE.

Monday Night. Although next week the Cambridgeshire will be decided, not a great deal of wagering transpired in the London markets to-day. Tho Solicitor was favourite at 8 to 1, and 9 to 1 was closed with about Osbocb. At 100 to 6 Royal George, Courier, and Royal Winkfield all had supporters, and the next on Uio list was Lord Bobs, who had been pretty well backed on the strength of having won a trial -at Newmarket tbU morning. Epsom Lad was quoted at 22 to 1, but no mention was made of Black Sand.

Codoman stood on tho same mark as Epsom Lad, and Alvescot, Cateran Lad. and Light Comedy were also occasionally quoted.

Unable to do anything for SIXTEEN WEEKS. Does not know what would have become of her but for Phosferine. Mra. WALLER, of 29, Ingledew-road, Plumstcad, S.E., For about five years I suffered terribly from indigestion. Anything that I ate disagreed with me, giving me horrible suffocating feelings after my food, and bringing on objectionable eructations.

I did not know what to do, as I literally had to fight for my breath, and thought my heart would stop. For six weeks I was in the hospital, and altogether I was for about sixteen weeks quite unable to do anything. This made me very low and depressed, and I thought I wouli have to give in. until I read the advertisement of Phosferine, and determined to give it a trial. After about a bottle and a half I felt a £reat relief, and wai able to enjoy my food with the greatest satisfaction.

I quite lost the suffocating pains and all the low tired feelings vanished, and I felt toned ud, and my spirits returned to a wonderful degree. I can in every way and with the greatest pleasure recommend Phosferine fact, lam doing so daily, I do not know whatever would have become of me if I had not tried your wonderful Ist, 1901. Photferine is an unfailing remedy for Neuralgia, Nervous Dyspepsia, Anosmia, Brain-fag, Depression, Impoverished Blood, Rheumatism, Sleeplessness, Indigestion, Influenza, Nervous Headaches, Debility, and all disorders consequsnt upon a reduced state of the nervous system. It Is the most powerful Nerve and Recuperathra Tonic known. It removes Mental Depression, Want of Tone and Nerve Power.

It has remarkable Healthgiving, Strength-giving, Energising, and Rejuvenating Properties. No other Medielne has received such absolute proof of its extraordinary properties in restoring Shattered Constitutions, and in giving back to the prematurely aged New Life and Energy.

Still the Central pressed, and within five minutes Lang had netted a second point.

After this there was no holding back the homo team, and their supporters yelled themselves hoarse. Kelly just sent one over the bar from close range. Then Atherton dashed along the right, and. marked by consummate judgment. Chadbolt headed into the net.

Halt-time: Southport Central 3 goals. Newton Heath nil. Just before tbo finish Lang scored the fourth, and Shadbolt scored the fifth goal. Final: Southport Central 5 goals. Newton Heath nil.
