Centre County Bank Case Held Up
in the Supreme Court.
Continued from page 1, Col. i.)
nership adjudicated a bankrupt—a
question not now determined—yet to
the extent that it seeks to have the
partnership adjudged bankrupt as
against non-consenting partners re-
sisting such an adjudication, it is,
manifestly, an involuntary proceeding.
Re Murray (D. C.), 96 Fed. 600, 602.
And see Re Carleton (D. C.), 115
Fed. 246, 249. In Medsker Vs. Bone-
brake, 108 U. S. 66, 71, involving a
bankruptcy proceeding brought by
one partner against another under the
Act of 1867, this Court said: “It is
not a voluntary bankruptcy if the man
is forced into it against his will by his
partner any more than by any one
else; and it is compulsory and invol-
untary if he refuses to join in such
case and is forced into it, as much as
in any other enforced bankruptcy.”
‘And, a fortiori, such a petition as this
is an involuntary proceeding to the
extent that it also seeks to have the
non-consenting partners adjudged
bankrupt as individuals.
In other words, so far as Shugert’s
petition sought not merely to have the
partnership adjudged bankrupt as
against the defendants, but also to
have them adjudged as individuals,
it was clearly an antagonistic proceed-
ing. To that extent Shugert was not
the “bankrupt,” but stood in a posi-
tion analogous to that of a creditor
seeking the involuntary adjudication
of his debtor. Even in so far as the
petition sought to have the partner-
ship adjudged bankrupt, the defend-
ants, as non-consenting partners,
were entitled, under the specific pro-
vision of General Order No. 8, to make
defense “in the same manner as if the
petition had been filed by a creditor
of the partnership.” Note 3, supra.
And, a fortiori, they were entitled to
make such defense to so much of the
petition as sought their bankruptcy as
individuals. Such a preceeding, as
any other litigated matter, requires
adversary’ parties; and manifestly, in
the very nature of things, can only be
continued as long as there are adver-
sary parties. In the proceeding in
the District Court and in the Circuit
Court of Appeals Shugert was the pe-
titioner in the bankruptcy proceeding,
affirmatively seeking relief against
his partners by subjecting their prop-
erty to the payment of the partner-
ship debts, and actively engaged in
the prosecution of his petition against
them. As the cases now stand, how-
ever, by reason of his death there is
no longer any petitioner seeking the
bankruptcy of the firm or of the de-
fendants; no adversary party in so far
as the defendants are concerned.
The question whether Shugert’s
right to maintain the petition in bank-
ruptey for the purpose of having the
partnership and the defendants ad-
judged bankrupt—if any he had—is
one which abated with his death, or
one which survives to his proper rep-
resentatives in the personality or re-
alty involved so that the bankruptcy
proceeding may be continued in their
names, is not, however, free from dif-
ficulty. It is, so far as we are advis-
ed, one of first impression. And it is
one which we think should not be de-
termined ex parte, if there are any
persons claiming to be proper repre-
sentatives of his interest in the pro-
ceeding who desire to be admitted as
parties for the purpose of continuing
it in his stead.
Under the circumstances we con-
clude that we should now deny the
motion to dismiss the proceeding;
with leave to any persons claiming to
be the proper representatives of Shu-
gert’s interest to appear in this court
within thirty days from this date, set-
ting forth the capacity in which they
so claim, and applying for leave to be
admitted as parties for the purpose of
continuing the proceeding. If this is
done the question whether the pro-
ceeding should be dismissed as to the
partnership and the defendants or
continued as to them by such repre-
sentatives, will then be determined.
But if no one thus appears, these cases
will be remanded with instructions to
dismiss the proceeding in so far as the
petition seeks to have the partnership
and the defendants adjudged bank-
rupt; following, by analogy, the prac-
tice established in cases that have be-
come moot. ;

CHRISTMAS IN THE FAR EAST.
How the Norths Celebrated the Day
in the Flowery Kingdom.
Chengtu, China, Dec. 26, 1923.
Dear Home Folks:
Merry Christmas to you all! It
seems strange to think that this morn-
ing when we were getting up, you
were just finishings your Christmas
day. I hope you had a pleasant one
and that Santa Claus was good to you.
We had a lovely, though strenuous
time here. We got here such a short
time before Christmas that we hardly
knew enough “to go out on the street”
(as they say here) to buy gifts. We
spent about two days on the street
looking for gifts and finding very
few. If you have been here for some
time it is possible to have some very
pretty gifts made, but just to go out
and try to pick up something off hand,
is very difficult. It is especially hard
to find things for men. I had such a
time getting something for Bill. I
wanted so badly to get a pretty fur
rug (they use them here on the floor
a great deal) and I spent all day Sat-
urday trying to find something that
suited me, but didn’t succeed. Today
one of the men who tried to sell to me
on Saturday, came around with just
what I wanted. He asked $12.00 for
it, but with the help of Mr. Crawford
(oné of our mission men) I got it for
$6.00. Can you imagine getting a de-
cent looking fur rug in the States for
$3.00 gold? All I could find for Bill
before Christmas was two silk hand-
kerchiefs (hand-hemstitched) a dark
blue silk crepe tie, and a bone collar-
button box. The whole business cost
me only $2.10 Mex.
Bill was able to find a lot of things
for me. He gave me a lovely picture
with a frame that he had made here,
two brass vases (costing $1.00 Mex.
for the two), a lovely Mandarin coat
(something which every foreigner
wants), a chit book, and a horse. Now,
I must explain what a chit book is.
We never heard of such a thing in the
States. As you know, out here we
have no telephone and it takes quite
a while to get to the houses of your
friends for they may live an hour’s
walk from your place. Well, if you
want to invite a friend to dinner or
ask him a question or want some in-
formation, all you do is to write a
note, put it in a book, which is really
a receipt book, something like an ex-
pressman’s receipt book, and your
coolie carries the note to your friend.
The friend signs his name in the book
to let you know that the note was de-
livered and he in turn sends an ans-
wer, if there is one. It’s really quite
a convenient system. I don’t know
what we'd do without it.
And now I must tell you about the
horse. Chinese horses, especially
West China horses, are very small, in
fact, they're just a trifle larger than
‘a pony. They are also rather inex-
pensive. I don’t know what Bill paid
for mine, but I doubt if he paid more
than $25.00 Mex. Miss Eaton, who
died, had a horse and, of course, it
was for sale, so Bill decided he’d buy
it for me. I’ve never been on a horse
in my life so I don’t know whether I’il
ever have the nerve to ride or not.
Some of the Chinese horses are very
ferocious but this one is supposed to
be quite gentle. I think tomorrow
afternoon after I come home from
school I’ll get on and ride him around
the yard. We have quite a big yard
here. It’s no easy matter to ride a
horse through the Chengtu streets.
The streets are always so crowded
that it is hard to keep from knocking
people down. The other day I rode in
my chair out to school and my chair-
men kept bumping into people the
whole way home. They almost knock-
ed one poor woman down. She had
bound feet and could hardly walk,
anyway. Almost all the women here
in West China still have the bound
feet. Of course, the new generation
who are attending the mission schools
do not have bound feet, for one of the
requirements for entrance is that they
do not have bound feet. If they al-
ready have had them, they are re-
quired to unbind them.
The people here did their best to
make our Christmas a happy one. On
Sunday evening we were invited over
to the home of the Y. W. C. A. work-
ers to sing Christmas carols. They
presented us each with a little home-
made book of the old, old Christmas
carols and we sang them all during
the course of the evening. There
were also some solos and one read-
ing on the program. There is some
fine talent among the foreigners here
in Chengtu. The Y. W. C. A. girls
live in a native Chinese house. It is
a lovely place, built on the ground
floor entirely, except for a sleeping
porch which is on the second floor, and
it is built around a court. Our last
number Sunday night was “Joy to-the
World,” which we sang while we
strolled around the court and carried
a lighted candle in our hands. It was
really very pretty. Then we went in-
doors and had refreshments. If Idie
here in China it will be from eating
too much, I'm sure. Everywhere we
go they stuff us nearly to death. Since
we are keeping house, we have very
simple meals here at home. It is
much less expensive and also much
better for us, we think.
Monday evening, Christmas eve, we
spent at Freemans, the place where
Bill and I used to take our meals, and
in the same compound with us. Mrs.
Freeman had twenty or twenty-five
people in for dinner (it was buffet
style, we all stood around the dining
room table and helped ourselves). We
had a very fine dinner. One of the
courses was fruit salad, and the salad
was placed on an-honest to-goodness
lettuce leaf. We have lettuce in our
own * garden and it is delicious. 1
never - dreamed I'd ghave lettuce out
A ————
After dinner, we all went into the
living-room where there was a lovely
Christmas tree with loads of Christ-
mas presents stacked around it. Bill
acted as Santa Claus and distributed
the -gifts to us. I wish you could see
what we got. The folks just shower-
ed us with gifts. I got a lovely
crackle-ware vase, a cane (very use-
ful here and used by almost every-
body), a silver tea caddy, a silver in-
dividual pepper shaker, a blue thread-
work center piece, a set of brass book-
ends, a waste basket, several potted
primroses, some Chinese embroidery,
and a foolish little bug. We can buy
lovely potted primroses here for 10c.
a piece Mex. and our coolie went out
and bought some for us for 8% Mex.
The Chinese can always get things
cheaper than we can. They don’t have
holly here, but they do have a bush
that has red berries and looks very
much like holly. We could buy all we
could carry in both arms for 20c Mex.
It makes lovely Christmas decora-
tions. :
Yesterday, Christmas day, we had
the Neumans here for dinner.
live out in the country on the Univer-
sity campus, and had invited us out to
spend Christmas with them. We pre-
ferred to stay at home, so invited
them to come in and eat dinner with
us, and they accepted. They sent in
their goose and some lovely celery,
and we furnished the rest of the
“eats.” We had a can of cranberry
sauce which the Blanchards gave us
for a Christmas present, (they
brought it up river from Shanghai
with them) so we had a dinner very
similar to a Christmas dinner at home.
For the first course we had fruit cock-
tail, then we had tomato soup, and
then the goose, mashed potatoes,
spinach, baked sweet potatoes, and
plum pudding which Miss Oster made.
On it we had hard sauce, blowing our-
selves. We won’t have any butter,
now, for the next week. Then we had
salted peanuts, English walnuts, and
candy and fruit. By the time we had
eaten two servings of plum pudding,
we didn’t want any nuts or candy.
The Neumans have two boys. Stan-
ley, who is three years old, and Brad-
ford, who is six. We were so glad to
have the children here.
We didn’t finish our dinner until
ten minutes of four, and immediately
afterwards we went for a walk on the
city wall. It is the only place inside
the city where it is really pleasant
walking. It is quite wide and not
much used for walking. The soldiers
use it for drill. You could really drive
an automobile around on the city wall
very well. We couldn’t walk very far
yesterday for it gets dark here very
early. By 5:30 it is almost pitch dark.
We didn’t have lanterns with us, so we
had to hurry home before it got too
dark. Can you imagine us walking
the streets at night with a lantern in
our hands? I'm afraid I won’t know
how to act when I get back ' home
where the streets are lighted by elec-
tricity. Here they use little oil lamps,
but they furnish almost no light.
Last evening Miss Oster, Bill and I
sat around the fire place and talked
and had a lap lunch. About 9:30 some
guests came to call, so we didn’t get
to bed early as we had planned to do.
As a result we didn’t have breakfast
in this house until almost nine o’clock
this morning. Tomorrw we have to
start in to Language school again, so
we'll have to get up earlier. Miss
Oster is out in the country spending
the night so Bill and I are here alone.
Today I spent my time putting
away my Christmas gifts and doing
some washing. My coolie doesn’t
wash well at all, and the way he did
my outing flannel night-gowns just
aside today and gave him a lesson in
washing. He did quite well, but it
will take a couple of more washes to
make them look like they look at
home. If I could only be at home
when the washing is being done I'd be
all right. But he does it while I'm at
school and consequently does as he
pleases. We simply couldn’t get along
without servants here in China, but I
do wish I could do my own washing.
Well, it’s time for me to be getting
to bed. I have three pages of a type-
written letter started to you about two
weeks ago and which I’ve not had
time to finish. I'm going to try to get
it finished tomorrow and get it off
shortly after this one. I also have a
letter started to Anna. You can’t im-
agine how busy we've been since we
reached here. But we're settled now
and getting used to things, so here-
after I'm going to try very hard to
get a letter off each week.
The home mail has been coming
through in good time and we certain-
ten all of the September and two Oc-
tober “Watchmans” so far.
Happy New year to all.

Community Leadership School.
The Pennsylvania Grange rural
leadership school to train leaders in the
fundamentals of conducting local
community activities will be held at
the Centre Hall Grange encampment
grounds August 21st to 27th inclu-
sive.
The school will be conducted by a
committee selected from the follow-
ing co-operating agencies: Encamp-
ment committee of Centre county Po-
mona Grange; Progress Grange, of
Centre Hall, in co-operation with the
Centre county Farm Bureau. W. R.
Gordon, of the agricultural extension
department of State Cellege, will ar-
range and conduct the program. The
instruction will be of great value to
lecturers of local Granges and lead-
ers of community centers.
It is planned to make this a State-
wide school, and it is hoped commu-
nity leaders will take advantage of
this opportunity to gain instruction in
putting on plays and community ac-
tivities.

The Danger of Gun Toting.
Joseph Valotta, of Pittsburgh, who
was to have been electrocuted at the
Rockview penitentiary on Monday
morning, was granted a respite at
nine o’clock on Sunday night. Valot-
ta was brought to the death house on
Saturday by sheriff R. A. Woodside,
of Pittsburgh, and on the trip he con-
fessed to the sheriff that his propen-
sity to carry a gun got him into his
unfortunate predicament. Two years
ago he was a steady and industrious
employee in the shops of the Fort
Wayne railroad, in Pittsburgh. In
October, 1922, he went out one night
with a party of friends, taking his
gun along. Liquor flowed freely and
a fight started. Valotta drew his gun
and shot Thomas Hopkins dead in his
tracks. The police were quickly on
the scene and in his frenzied condi-
tion he also shot policeman Edward
Cough. Valotta is forty years old and
has a wife and five children. Owing
to his previous good reputation efforts
are being made to have his sentence
commuted.
Old Age Assistance Board Organized.
The old age assistance board for
Centre county, composed of Mrs. R. S.
Brouse, of Bellefonte; Mrs. Rebecca
C. Tuten, of Philipsburg, and Mrs.
Frank M. Fisher, of Centre Hall, met
in Bellefonte on Tuesday and organ-
ized by electing Mrs. Brouse chair-
man, and Mrs. Tuten secretary. Mr.
A. Epstein, of Harrisburg, was pres-
ent at the organization and instructed
the members of the board as to the
work they will be called upon to per-
form. Unfortunately the appropria-
tion granted by the last Legislature
was not sufficient to do much work
with, but advocates of the system
hope for a liberal appropriation next
year.
The “Watchman” next week will
publish an article showing who are en-
titled to assistance under the Act of
Legislature and who are not, as weil
as explaining how applications shall
be made.
Herbert Beezer has entered the
| nesvspaper field in Bellefonte as local
editor of the Republican, succeeding
William F. Shope, who recently re-
signed to go with his father in the
lumbering business. Mr. Shope, how-
ever, is still on the job this week,
showing his successor the details of
the work.

Political Notice.
Bellefonte, Pa., April 14th, 192
To the Democrats of Centre County
No one has come out, in the Dem
cratic party, as a candidate for tl
State Legislature, and a very goc
man is running as a Republican. A
Democrats, who wish the Eighteen:
Amendment enforced, should, at tl
coming primaries, write in the nan
of John L. Holmes, as candidate fi
the Assembly. An effort has bes
made, by the wet forces, to run in
candidate at the Democratic prim
ries. This should be counteracted.
Mr. Holmes wins the nomination
both parties, his election is assured.
