Crocker's Plan For Pro tecting His Creditors. FATHER AND SON IN CONFLICT. The Latter Agreed to Pay His Father's Debts In Exchange For an Assign ment ef California Property, But Re fused to Carry Out the Bargain. New York, June 4. A petition In bankruptcy, which was accompanied by the "paupers' oath," to the effect that the petitioner had not the neces sary funds with which to pay tht costs f filing the petition, was filed in the elerk's office of the United States dis trict court yesterday by Alvln E. Crocker, of this city. The petitioner places his total liabilities at $33,783. Among the secured creditors are Oliver P. Crocker, in the sum of 17,003, but this claim is endorsed by the petitioner "without consideration; this debt is not just, and Is contested." The debt was contracted between Oc tober, 1800, and February, 1901. An other secured creditor is the First Na tional bank, of Richmond, Intl., in the sum of $5,624, which claim the peti tioner alleges Is barred by the statute of limitations. C. W. Ferguson, ol Richmond, Ind., is named as a secured creditor in the sum of $3,600, but oppo site the claim Is written "This debt 1? usurious in conception, contracted about 1S93, and barred by statute ol limitation." The principal unsecured creditoi against whose claim no charge Is made is Elisabeth B. Crocker, of Troy, ()., to whom $t'i.000 is tine. Joseph W Kainlcr, of Richmond, Intl., is also an unsecured creditor in the sum of I4.00C for money loaned, but the petltloneil says that this claim is barred by thf statute of limitations and is contested The assets are placed at $35,050. According to counsel for the bank rupt, the story of Mr. Crocker's bank ruptcy is an Interesting one. Mr Crocker is a brother of the late Ben jamin II. Crocker, the California mil lionaire, who died recently. By will Mr. Crocker left his estate to his wife As she predeceased him. the estate will be divided among the next of kin. Alvin K. Crocker's share is estimated to be about 000. Alvln Crocker was interested foi many yens in mining ventures in Mex ico, with varying success. His lasi venture, however, his lawyer says! ruined him. He promoted the San Ja vior Mining and Milling company, oi, Mexico, and borrowed money tofinance it. The mine was not the money niakei he expected It to be, and he finally ob tained an extension of time from kit creditors. Nearly all of the $33,7S3 Included ii the schedule Is due to persons who lost money in the mining company or whe j advanced money to carry on tho work of the company. As soon as Mr. Crock er learned that money wag due hin: ! under tho will or from the estate oil his brother he took steps to pay all the creditors. His son, Oliver P. Crocker, formerly of Chicago, but now of Atlanta, Qa agreed to pay all the debts in exchange for an assignment of his father inter est in the Callfornlan property. The ! assignment was fully executed, and then, the lawyer says, the son refused to carry out his part of the bargain : Mr. Crocker was determined that the creditors should be paid, and as then was no other way to set aside the as signment he filed bis petition In bank- ' ruptcy in the United states court. Un der the law the petition will set nsldr the assignments made within font i months unless the assignees can show that they gave valid consideration for them. The LehrDahlgren Wedding.

Hill Intimates That the Tre mendous Deal Will Be Consummated When the Great Finanelal Organiser and Promoter Returns From Europe. New York, June 4. The Press says that one termendous consolidation ol all the railroads operating between the Mississippi river and the Pacific coast promises to result from a settlement of fee differences which caused the Northern Pacific corner. The Press says that it "is able to an nounce on the highest authority that not only have the differences been set tied between the Morgan-Hill faction and the Harriman party regarding the Burlington deal and the relations of that railroad and the Northern and Union Pacific, but also the St Paul, i the Chicago Northwestern and the Chi cago Oreat Western will be taken care of in the great harmonization scheme of the trunk linos of the west. i "Kxact details of the harmony agree ment are withheld until J. Pierpont Morgan arrives from Europe. Ho will sail for this country tomorrow. James J. Hill, who has been his representa tive In the Northern Pacific conflict and la the practical management of the Morgan Hill railroads, has remain ; ed 'incommunicado.' giving to his friends the assurance that they must 'wait anil see. Facts will tell tho tale In good time.' "In Mr. Hill's simple expression Is the whole truth In a nutshell. The agreement regarding the controversy over the control of tho Northern Pa cific means first that that property will remain under the direction of the Mor-gan-Hlll faction, although the KBht Loeb-Harriman-Gould faction, backed by tin- Rockefeller and Btillman inter nt. owns the majority of the commoa nnd preferred stock combined, and fur ther, that the harmony agreement will result in a closer alliance between the great Trans Mississippi railroads which extend from Chicago to the coast and have affiliations to carry American products to tho far east."
