THE 3IORXIXG OREGONIAX, SATURDAY, JULY 16. 1910. COFFEY GOES INTO RECEIVER'S HANDS Democratic Leader of Key stone State Is Short of Ready Money. ASSETS EXCEED HIS DEBTS Man Who Fought Bryan Can't Pay His Debts, Though His Property , Is Worth $17,000,000 and Debts Are Only $6,700,000. PITTSBURG. July 15. Colonel James M. Guffey, National Democratic Com mitteeman from Pennsylvania and a multi-millionaire oil man who figured prominently as an object of attack by the Bryan adlierents at the Democratic convention in Denver, has gone Into the Tiamls of a receiver, appointed today by Judge Joseph M. Swearlngen In the Com mon Pleas Court of this county. The action was taken upon a bill in equity filed by J. P. Galny. John 3. "Wlllard, who Is familiar with Colonel Guffey'o affairs; was named as receiver. The bill alleges that Colonel GufTey's Indebtedness is about $6,700,000, of which about 1850,000 is unsecured; that the de fendant has no ready money to meet the payments due and that certain creditors are threatening to sell his collateral and enter suit. Assets Exceed $17000,000. It in further asserted that Colonel Guffey has assets of more than $7,000,000. a large part of which is stock of the J. M. Guffey Company and the West Virginia Company, two coal companies that own 136.700 acres of coking coal in "West Virginia. These proportles are as serted to be worth at least JlS.000,000 and the bill in equity maintains that they are estimated to contain 2,000,000.000 tons of coal, which, at a profit of 1 cent per ton, would realize $20,000,000. Other assets of Colonel Guffey to the Value of $2,000,000 or $3,000,000 conBist of Blocks and bonds of other corporations 1 All the stocks and bonds are pledged as collateral and the receivership was found necessary to prevent a sacrifice of this collateral. The order of the court re strains creditors from disposing of any collateral security or other assets of Colonel Guffey pending further order of the court. N'eeessary to Protect Estate. Colonel Guffey said to the Associated Press tonight: "1 very much regret that to conserve necessary. This course affords absolute protection for all my obligations as well us protection for myself. "My assets are more than double the amount of ny obligations. I do not expect the receivership to continue any great length of time. I have properties of great value and it is only a question of being permitted to dispose of them without nacrif icing them to pay all my obliga tions.' . "Does this proceeding have any connec. tion with the J. M. Guffey Petroleum Company?" was asked of him. "None whatever. It is a personal mat ter and has no relation whatever to any of the affairs of the J. M. Guffey Petro 'leum Company. It is now some years since I had any Interest or connection with that company, having disposed of my interests to the Gulf Oil Corporation. Colonel Guffey laid the foundation of his great fortune as an oil operator In "Western Pennsylvania and when the de velopment of natural gas began he took a leading part in it. As the oil-bearing territory expanded, his operations were extended Into Ohio, Indiana, West Vir ginia and adjoining states and of late years he has operated on a large scale In the Southwest. From gas he extended his business to coal land, particularly in the coking coal fields. Colonel Guffey has always been an en thusiastic Democrat and has given of In is time and money without stint to the jmrty. When President Cleveland made his Western tour. Colonel Guffey owned the whole Grapeville gas district, 50 miles east of Pittsburg, and lighted up a num ber of wells in the President's honor. The gas blazed up 100 feet and made a most costly illumination. Colonel Guffey has always been a vio lent opponent of W. J. Bryan's domina tion of the Democratic party and in 190S secured the election of an anti-Bryan delegation to the National convention at Denver headed by himself. Bryan con tended that this delegation was elected by fraud and after a long and bitter vtruRgle in the credentials committee, secured its exclusion and the ftpntinr of the contesting delegation. The Guffey delegation remained defiant to the last. LURE OF "AD" IS NO BAR -Immigrants Drawn by Bureau's Rep resentatives Admitted. WASHINGTON'. July 15.

Prices had a further sensational ad vance, with July cotton selling at 16.43, or 50 points above the closing point of last night and fully $5 a bale above the price ruling before the covering movement started on 'Wednesday. As was the case yesterday, no one seemed to have any July for sale ex cept the bull leaders and they seemed willing to sell only in small lots on the advance which has now carried July back to virtually the highest price of the season. August shorts -seemed to be almost as much worried as those ef July, and the price of that month ad vanced to 15.12. or 36 net higher, but the new crop positions were compara tively quiet and owing to Improved weather and crop accounts sold off three to four points over the closing figures of yesterday. At the high price of this morning. July cotton sold nearly $15 a bale above the low level touched on the big break of last January, at w hichtlme the bull leaders were supposed to have inaugu rated their present campaign. Arter the advance to 16.44 for July, the demand from shorts slackened and the market eased off slightly under scattered selling but closed firm st 16.34 for July, with the greneral list unchanged to 40 points above last night's closing prices.

WORK FOR JAPS SCARCER Agitation Makes Situation Cnfavor able In Other Countries. ' WASHINGTON, July 15. The darkest and brightest fields for Nippon labor are1 shown lu. a, remarkable report, klcii tlie M. Cl'FFEV. State Department has received surveying the condition of Japanese emigrants abroad. S-ince the strict enforcement of the Japanese-American agreement, the Oriental emigration companies have suf fered considerably and several have been disorganized. Of the Japanese who have gono to tha Philippines at their own expense or were sent there by emigration companies, about 650 now remain, according to the Japanese statement. As the Philippines constitute a part of the United States, no contract laborers are admitted. In Ha waii the trouble between the planters and laborers has been satisfactorily settled, but only 1026 Japanese went there during 1909. Peru is stamped as the most hopeful lo cality since the prohibition of immigration into America. New Caledonia Is also a hopeful French colony in 'this connection, but anti-Japanese agitations have made unfavorable situations in Queensland and Canada. Mexico has no fresh demand for laborers, and there are stated to be less than 250 Japanese there npw. Thurs day Island, once famous for pearls, has now only 56 Japanese: there are 320 Jap anese laborers in the Oceanic Islands, and the Toyo Emigration Company last year sent 23 laborers to Tahiti. T.

"It all came about very suddenly, however. A few days before we leCt for New Yoric, Edward Eisner, who was Miss Illington's stage director In "The Thief," submitted his play to her, and on reading it she became enthusiastic over its tremendous acting possibilities, and I told her that if she would like to appear in it I would make the pro duction for her. Ideals on Homelife Unchanged. "My wife's Ideals regarding home life and domesticity' are unchanged, and had it not been that I could be with her on the tour with her play we would not have considered It for a minute. She Is enjoying excellent health and feels she can give the best work of her career. "It was our desire that our plans should not be made public until the greater part of the arrangements had been made, but we found it lmposslii4 to keep It secret: "Two carloads of scenery and equip ment have been selected, and will be shipped from New York. The company, consisting of 20 persons, will leave New York next Wednesday, and rehearsals will begin at once on thtlr arrival, and the initial production will be August 26 at the Tacorca Theater. "Joseph H. Dillon, who was for -nine years advance manager for Richard Mansfield, will act In a similar capacity for Miss Illington, and from him an nouncements of the name of the play and the personnel of the company will come shortly. Edward- Eisner will be stage director and many of the stage workers will be men with Miss Illing ton's company In the past. Cast Carefully Chosen. ' "The case has been carefully chosen. Ther are many good parts In the play, which has been adapted from the French by Mr. Eisner. Most of the players are not weli known in the West, but have been known for years In Eastern theatrical circles. "Following our Tacoma engagement we go to Salt Lake City, Denver, back to San Francisco and other California cities, up the Coast to Portland, Seattle, Vancouver," B. C, and Spokane, thence to Minneapolis and St. Paul, Chicago, Pittsburg, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Washington and to New York for the remainder of the season, where I have engaged the" Maxine Elliott Theater. "Miss Illington has had many flat tering offers from big managers in the East, but refused to change her plans. Although our opening in Tacoma is a complete reversal of the usual route, we have received every consid eration from theater-owners."

SHORT HAY CROP WORRIES Montana Denies Reports of Serious Range Conditions. HELENA, Mont., July 15. Exception Is taken here to a story telegraphed from Washington last night respecting alleged serious range conditions in Montana. According to G. W. Raymond, secretary of the State Board of Stock Commissioners, and George J. Joyce, of the State Department of Sheep Com missioners, these reports are exag gerated. Present conditions are not particu larly disturbing to stockmen at pres ent, they say, but the outlook for the future is causing whatever anxiety there is, 'because the hay crop will be about one-third below normal. Should next Winter be severe, losses would result from the hay shortage and rather than run the risk, it is probable that everything that can be converted into beef will be sent to market this Fall and the same is true In a measure respecting sheep. Recent rains have grea'ly alleviated the water shortage. Wyoming Denies Losses. CHEYENNE, Wyo., July 15.
