W ^ Hlli FIRM ON ROCKS ?. R. ( laflin Company Goes to Wall, v Receivers Beinp Appointed By i Court. V iNew York, June 25.?The biggest (mercantile taiiure in uie msiury v. the United States was precipitated today when receivers were appointed for the H. B. Claflin company of this city. The company, it is estimated, owes more than $30,000,000 which % at the present time it is unable to pay. Its assets are said to be $44, " >qoo,ooo. >ohn Claflin, head of the company and its chief individual stockholder.! is the owner of a chain of nearly 30 ! V other dry goods enterprises throughly out the country, which are involved ft in the failure. Receivers for several of these were named today and sim- j ft ilar action, it was announced, would j A be taken in the case cf tie rest. Their I ^business will be continued under re^pr <ceivers' management until their finan [ cial affairs have been adjusted. Rm From 3,000 to 5,000 banks in all parts of the United States compose the bulk of the Claflin creditors. They hold notes aggregating the major part of the liabilities. These notes are i said to have been issued by the vari- j ous Clafiin stores, indorsed by the H P>. Claftin company, and the proIB ceeds used, when discounted in financV ing their needs.

Hliss. son of. the late .New York dry goods iner- j (nam of that name, was elected to succeed .Mr. Claflin. According to Mr. Claflin the failure was due to the unprecedented shifting ' o:' trade centres in New York city which compelled the concern to rely mainly on its retail stores in ouer I cines fcr its profits. '"Their rapidlv extending business," ! he said," occasioned large capital re- j quirements which we have not been j able to meet." Faile to (iet Help. The crash came today after vain efforts had been made by Mr. Clafl'n i to induce J. P. Morgan & Co. and | other Wall street banking interests i to loan ins money id uae over tus , embarrassment. These bankers, it was j learned, advanced the company sev-i eral million uollars ab:ut two weeks) ago. but banks continued to p.ess; their claims until it became evident j that virtually the whole $.>0,000,000 j would have to be raised to save the ] company from failure. Mr. Clafiin at a conference lasting i until after midnight last night with J. P. Morgan, J. S. Alexander, president of the National Bank of Com merce, Albert H. Wiggin, president of the Chase National bank, and other financiers, made a last appeal but the decision went against him. The > bankers believed t.ie course outlined' today for a general reorganizafion was the wisest. Today John C. Eames, vice president of the H. B. Claflin company, filed a friendly suit in equity against I it, alleging that it was unable at pres ent to meet its naDiiiues. mis j admitted by the company arid Judge j ! Hand in federal court apppointed as j ! : receivers Joseph B. Martinbale, pres- i ident of the Chemical National bank, j and 'Frederick A. Juilliard, a dry gcods merchant. Another Petition. . j Almost simultaneously a petition j in involuntary bankruptcy was filed ! by tie three merchandise creditors | whose attorneys announced they j would seek the appointment of other i receivers. I In this action subpoenaes were is- j sued for Mr. Claflin, Mr. Eanies and Dexter X. Force, treasurer of Ue company, to appear and show cause on or before July 2 why it should not i be adjudged bankrupt. Immediate stres to protect the in! terests of note holders and the merI chandise creditors were taken by the ! ippointment of committees representI ing each. The note holders' commit- ! I tee. of which J. S. Alexander is c':air- j | man, asks that all claims be deposited j \vi:h them, and a similar request was i made in behalf cf the merchandise ' creditors, called together by attorneys for the Merchants' Protective associai tion. Both committees announced they would demand a voice in the reorI ! ganization plans. Still another pro-1 tcetive committee was organized under the auspices of the Creditors' Audit and adjustment ass:ciation and the receivers are directed by the court also to reorganize a creditors' commitf?

The failure today marked the fourth j financial crisis of the H. B. Claflin j company since it was first establish- j ed in this city in 1843 with the urm name of Bulkley & Claflio. It was tided over financial difficulties in the War Between the Sections when Southern debtors did not meet their Northern obligations; again the panic of 1873, and again in the panic of 1907, when, it is understood, J. P. ! Morgan & Co. came to the rescue. ( I'From its humble beginning of 70] years ago the concern grew to be the 1 greatest dry goods enterprise in the j country and was tne nucleus, together i with other enterprises which John I Claflin promoted, to the Associated! Merchants' companv and subsequently ' i ihe United Dry Goods company, or- j ganized in 1909, with $"> 1.000,000 capital stock. Its commercial notes, it was remarked, in Wall stjeet today, were accepted throughout the country j almost as the equivalent of currency,' so strong was its credit. Cut Loose From Clatlln.
