PETITION IN BANKRUPTCY.
Robert Weis, the junior member of the
former firm of Weis Bros’, yesterday even-
ing filed a voluntary petition in bank-
ruptcy in the United States district court.
The firm of Weis Bros, suspended busi-
ness sixteen years ago, and during the
year 1901 the senior member of the firm,
Albert Weis, filed a voluntary petition in
bankruptcy, being discharged duly in the
matter of a few months.
In the voluntary petition filed yesterday
it is shown that the unpaid liabilities
of Weis Bros, were, in round numbers,
$294,000, and that the uncollected debts
due the firm are, in round numbers, $300,-
000. Both the resources and liabilities
have long since been barred by limitation,
with the exception of a few ciai’ms which
have been reduced to judgment.
In the petition filed yesterday, upon the
schedule sheet of “creditors whose claims
are urfsecured,” the following has betn
written: “Debts due by Weis Bros., of
which petition was a partner with Albert
Weis, in Galveston, Tex.” jMso upo i lb.*
sheet in proximity to the list of creditors
is written: “For merchandise purchased
I am unable to state for what chins we
gave notes, and these debts were ail con-
tracted by Weis Bros., a firm composed of
petitioner and Albert Weis. Some of these
ci<-ditors sued Lriry Hornt.hal or New
York as a partner also, but which ones,
and who, got judgment, I do not know.
I have noted herein all claims that I know
to be in judgment. Robert Weis.”
In the schedule of claims exempted,
household furniture and personal effects
of petitioner and of family, the sum of
$2000 is set forth.
PROBATION OFFICER.
The following order was entered by
Judge Mann yesterday afternoon relating
to the Galveston county juvenile court:
“The Application of the presiding judge
of the juvenile court of the district courts
of Galveston county for the appointment
of H. W. D. Langston as probation of.
fleer of said court coming on to be heard,
and the same having been considered by
the court, and lit appearing to the court
that there is necessity therefor, and that
the said H. W. D. Langston is a proper

Operator Campbell of the Galveston
DeForest wireless station was at his old
tricks again last night and at 9 o’clock
he succeeded in locating the big fleet of
United States battleships which sailed
from Old Point Comfort yesterday, and
from the floating fortresses out on the
broad Atlantic off Hatteras came flashes
and sputterings through the heavens. An-
ticipating something of the nature, the
Galveston operator opened his key, and
after ticking off a few dots and dashes
which instantly flashed over the acholess
expanse of the Atlantic and settled on the
receiving apparatus strung to the masts
of Uncle Sam's big white fighting ships
as they ploughed through the salty deep
in the darkness of the night.
Operator Campbell had hardly put the
receiving hood to his ears before he heard
the battleship Minnesota calling "Q. I.,”
which translated into common language
means the Washington station. The op-
erator then began to feel his way, and
immediately there flashed out from the big
station at the nation’s capital “O. K. Come
ahead.”
"Have you anything to report to the
fleet at this hour?” the Minnsota asked,
and the Washington operator replied:
“Nothing just now."
“Will look for you about this hour'~~to-
morrow night, as we have this watch,”
flashed back the Minnesota.
“All right,” said Washington,
call you again tomorrow night.

Operator Campbell did not undertake to
How Two Persons Are Made Happy by
One Judicious Present.'
It is not often that one Christmas
gift will become two Christmas gifts,
that is, two separate gifts to two
separate persons in two states sepa-
rated by several thousand miles, but
State and County Tax Collector Julius
I. Maas has solved this seemingly im-
possible problem and has already per-
sonally given and sent on the gift.
The way Mr. Maa's accomplished it
was in this manner: Wishing to make
a certain young lady of the city, who
is one of the candidates in the, popular
trip contest The Tribune is now con-
ducting, a. little remembrance of the
season, he gav^.her the subscription for
one year paid in advance to The
Tribune, which she in turn turned into
this office and received a credit of 2000
votes, which will go her credit toward
getting the special Christmas prizes
offered and also go toward winning
one of the big trips.
/ The subscription to The Tribune is in
the name of a relative of Mr. Maas’ who
lives in the state ofiNew York, and the
first issue will reach him on Christmas
day and will come thereafter every
day for one year, and as the party to
whom the paper is being sent is a warm
friend of the Sea Wall city it will be a
most appropriate and acceptable gift
to him.
The scheme is a good one and the
suggestion is offered free of cost to any
others who might take the suggestion
and follow the example set by the Gal-
veston county and state tax collector.

SAILING OF THE HANNOVER,
Yesteraay afternoon at 4 o’clock the
North German Lloyd steamer Hannover
sailed from pier 29 for Bremen direct with
ten cabin and seventy second class pas-
sengers, in addition to thirty ..immigrants
that are being deported. Of these thir-
teen are returned on account of their like-
lihood of becoming public charges. These
came on the Hannover. There were five
of the Frankfurt’s list charged with the
same defects returned yesterday. The
others in the deported list were as fol-
lows: Three of the Hannover's passen-
gers having trachoma, three of the Frank-
furt’s passengers with trachoma, six of
of the. Hannover for disabilities.
Several of the German steamer’s pas-
sengers are natives of European countrues
returning to their fatherland to spend
Christmas and the New Year: These are
in most cases well to do citizens who
only a few years ago crossed to the Unit-
ed States and landing at this port have
prospered in our midst.
Interested in Extension of Market
American Cotton Goods.
Special to the Tribune.
Washington, Dec. 17.—Harvey Jor-
dan of Atlanta president of the South-
ern Cotton association, who is visiting
this city, said today:
“The financial condition of Georgia ig
pretty good. The banks have been pay-
ing with certificates, but I don’t think
that will last long. As t© the railroads
having difficulty in mvoing cotton, we
have not experienced it this year.
Texas, which raises a large percentage
of the cotton produced, fell off this
year in its output, but last year when
its crop , was exceptional it did experi-
ence that difficulty.
“We are especially interested in the
bill that has been introduced in con-
gress by* Mr. Byrd of Mississippi, seek-
ing an appropriation for extending the
market for American manufactured cot-
ton.
“B#- means of this bill, we believe,
by placing a special representative
familiar with cotton manufacture and
the whole subject at every consular
office in Asia, Africa and South Amer-
ica to study the needs of those people,
we can open up new markets.”
Asked as to the growth of cotton
factories in the south, Mr. Jordan said
constant increase in the
and Georgia.

CORTELYOU HAS GRIPPE.
By Associated Press.
Washington, D. C., Dee. 17.—Secretary
Cortelyou is confined to his bed with a
severe attack of the “grippe.” Under ad-
vice of his physician he will remain at
home for at least a week. His attack last
night was qu'ite-severe and his physician’s
order is imperative. During his absence
from the department Assistant Secretary
Edwards will be acting secretary.
Secretary Metcalf of the navy is also
detained at home with an attack of the
“grippe.” When he returned from Nor-
folk today, where he went with the presi-
dent and party, he was compelled to take
to his bed.
Mr. E. C. Laird, a prominent citizen
of Richmond, Va., telegraphs to City
Commissioner Lange asking for litera-
ture on the Galveston form of city com-
mission. This means Richmond is con-
templating a reform in its municipal
government and the data will be for-
warded as requested.
Eleanora Kuntz, aged 69 years and
deaf and dumb, received slight injuries
by coming in contact with the side of
a street car at the intersection of 28th
and Postoffice streets at an early hour
today. According to the street car
company, the old lady was attempting
to cross the track and was struck by
the car only with sufficient force to
knock her backward. The White Flyer
was called and carried the old woman
to her home, 2805 Church street, where
a physician reported h^r injuries to be
of little or no consequence.

The court authorized the chairman of

proceed to League Cdty on Saturday after-
noon and defend a suit bruoght against
Com. Dick by Mr. G. R. Scott, the con-
tractor for the Davis bridge, recently con-

stated that the suit was the outcome of

pletioh of the work which had later been

But the oldest boy is what the police
call a tough proposition. He has been
roughing it for some time and is growing
hale and hearty knocking about in the
world. He was inclined to be surly, and
having been handled by the police of oth-
er cities, was prepared to pass out a few
lemons to the Galveston officers. It was
he who tried to break jail at the police
station and not Delahunty, as reported.
A short but strenuous interview in the
chief’s office, however, quickly convinced
the young man that Galveston is not a
haven forMiis kind and he pleaded to be
allowed to cross the bay, promising never
to set foot again on this island. The de-
partment saw him on his way to Houston
and his companion will be sent home when
able to travel.
Advices received by Chief of Police Per-
rett last evening announced the arrival
of Sergeant Dan Curtin and Detective
Fred Rexer in New York .City yesterday
afternoon. They had a brief interview
with “Ikie,” which is one of the aliases
A. J. Franklin, the negro, was known
by in certain shady quarters of Galves-
ton. The two Galveston officers left here
last Thursday night to bring back Frank-
lin, who landed in New York by steamer
Friday. He is wanted here for several
charges of burglary and theft. The offi-
cers were delayed in their trip and did
not reach the metropolis until yesterday
afternoon, when they reported direct to
police headquarters and had an interview
with Franklin.
Franklin would not return without ex-
tradition papers so' the Galveston officers
will have to remain in New York for
several days waiting the arrival of the
papers from. Governor Campbell, which
were forwarded to New York’s chief ex-
ecutive at Albany last night.
Curtin and Rexer report the weather in
New York colder than blue blazes with
snow and ice everywhere and the streets
slippery as polished glass. In the hands j

pital Sunday afternoon for treatment
pending advices from his relatives. The

Saturday night. The boys admitted they
had run away from home, bent on ad-
venture, and were having a hard strug-

the police found him and he was given
every attention and yesterday sent to the
hospital. This is his first experience away
from home and he is willing to go back

of Police Perrett to send the lad home,

yard dock at 8.30 o’clock. A White House
carriage was in waiting, as were con-
veyances for secretary of the navy and
other officials who were guests of the
president on the trip. No one left the
ship until the president had taken his
seat in the open carriage with Mrs.
Roosevelt, Miss Roosevelt and Miss Rob-
inson. The president did not .watit for
the debarkation of the rest of the official
party, but started at once for the White
House, where he arrived tat 8.45 a. m.
Just before leaving ‘the deck of the
Mayflower a wireless message was placed
in the hands of the president, presum-
ably the last words from the fleets
