New Tork. July 3. The failure of
the New York stock exchange firm

nounced today by the president of
the exchange. The firm, which was
organized In lflS, has branch of

An Involuntary petition In bank
ruptcy was later filed against the
firm on the petition of three em
ployees. liabilities may reach J5.onn.000
snd the a.ssets are estimated at ti,
000, 000, the petition said.
The- Petitioners
Tho. petitioners, Harold A. Chan
dor, of Glen Ridge, N. J.; John C.
A. Harvey, of Ea.it Orange, N. J.,
and John Bi-eitbaoh, of Brooklyn,
al'cged that, the firm committed sets
of bankruptcy "by transfers of prop
erty to certain creditors, thereby
showing preference to them above
other creditors."
OHftndor claims $565 due Tilm
J65 of which is for salary unpaid.
Harvey claims $100 and Breltbach
$75, both for salaries due.
Judge Bondy appointed William
M. Cannon reeeher under a bond of
550,000.
Liabilities Mid Assets
Liabilities of the insolvent house
were estimated at slightly more than
$35,000,000, with assets of between
ISO, 000,ono; and $35,000,000, In a
statement issued by Oilman R: Vnger,
New York counsel for the firm. The
company's connection with the
Grain Marketing Corporation, of
Chicago, involving holdings Of un
marketable securities, was blamed
partly for the failure.
"The difficulties arose." said the
lawyers, "from" the fact that in the
account of cu.slomcre, Dean, Onatl
vta & Co. were carrying 45,000
shares of stock of a company which
'as a subsidiary of the grain mar
keting corporation of Chicago. This
slock has been quoted and carried
by the bank around $50 a share.
Loan Is Called.
"Under tiie requirement of the
Illinois law it wa.s necessary for 61
per cent of the stock of the Grain
Marketing corporation to he sold by
July 1 because It was a cooperative
association. It is said that it will be
necessary to unscramble the Grain
Marketing Corporation and its sub
sidia rirs.
"A Chicago bank called the loan
of Dean. Onaiivia & Co. and it was
impossible for them to meet their
obligations this morning."

failure involved $30,000,000.
The receiver was appointed by

AMERICAN SCULLING
STAR IS VANQUISHED
Bcresford of England De
feats Hoover by Three
Lengths at Henley
Henley-on-Thames, July 3 W)
Jack Beresford, Jr., of London, pres
ent title holder, today defeated Wal
ter M. Hoover, of Philadelphia, In
the elimination for the diamond
sculls, of the Henley regatta.
Hereford won by three lengths. His
time was eight minutes and 27 sec
onds. Rowing experts were much sur
prised at Hoover's defeat. The
American was all in at the finish and
sat for three minutes without mov
ing. He displayed disappointing form
during the race by comparison with
his work yesterday, His style was
slightly ragged and the length of his
stroke not so good as heretofore.
Hoover and Bere.sford started at a
great pace and kept, even with each
other for the first 50 yards. Beres
ford spurted first, and pushed his
boat a few feet ahead of Hoover's
at the 200 yards point, but by row
ing strongly Hoover gradually over
hauled the Londoner and at the
quarter mile they were even again.
There was little difference between
them for the next 200 yards, but a
spurt by Beresford put him a half
length ahead at the mile post.
Beresford maintained this lead for
another quarter of a mile and then
forged further ahead despite the
American's gallant effort to reduce
the gap between the boats, which
S00 yards from the finish was' 14
lengths. Beresford, rowing strongly,
increased this distance and won by
three lengths, apparently still In
fairly fresh condition.
Hoover's defeat caused a. sensa
tion, not only because it upset the
predictions of experts but because
of the coming race between Hoover
and Beresford for the. Philadelphia
gold challenge cup, representing the
amateur singles sculling champion
ship of the world, which Beresford
now holds. The date for this race has
not been definitely fixed, but H is
expected to occur about two 'weeks
hence on the Thames near Putney.
In the other semi-finals heat for
the diamond sculls, D, H. Gollan of
the Leander club defeated H. P. Det
ton of France. Gollan and Beresford
will row the final race for the trophy
tomorrow.

the basement, tore the door off, and
took $700. Steele telephoned to po
lice headquarters and seven men
were s"nt to the hardware shop.
When they tacked the dumb man,
he plunged through them, knocking
several down, and then took a head
long dive through Steele's store
window, tho door having been
locked.
A street car conductor, seeing the
chase which followed, sprang from
his car and tried to stop the man.

Another man. Thomas Tracy, a
watchman, also tried to stop the
fugitive, and had more success. He
went at him football fashion, and
when the seven policemen arrived,
they found Tracy clinging to the
big man's ankles. The police piled
on, also in football fashion, and In
I due time the thief was subdued.
They took him to the hospital.
"How do you feel?" they asked.
"All right," he sail, and gave this
same answer to every question.
But doctors at the hospital say his
death might be expected at any
hour. They believe be has a frac

AMERICAN SLUGGING
40 Year Old Big League
Veteran Tops Younger
Batsmen
Chicago, July 3 (JPh Tyrus Ray
mond Cobb, for 20 years a star in
baseball, today has an opportunity
to laugh at the motheaten adage
that "youth must be served." Cobb,
40 years young, is fooling the
youngsters of the American league,
at least, for he Is safely perched at
the top of the leading Sluggers with
an average of .409.
For eight consecutive years, from
1507 to 1915, Cobb led the American
league In hitting, losing the honors
to Tris Speaker in 1916. Then, the
next year, Cobb came back and re
tained the title. until George Slsler
swept into baseball's hall of fame as
batting leader in 1920.
Today, after a week of brilliant
play, the sensational veteran is back
on top. His batting performance
In his last nine games netted him
16 hits, shoving him up the ladder
from fourth place. The work of
the "Georgia peach" is noticeable In
almost every department. He is tied
for second rlace honors In two base
bits, having 25, the same number as
Boone of Boston. Cobb also has
pounded out nine triples and 11
home runs.
Cobb's sensational batting has been
an Inspiration to his team mates,
three of whom are trailing him. all
hitting around .400. Wtngo is sec
ond with ,405 while Heilman and
Burke are tied for second wih .400.
Sammy Hale of the Athletics, the
leader a week ago, has dropped
from the picture.
Although the home runs have
been rattling over the fence tops
during the past week, the leaders
have not made as rapid strides as
some of the lesser lights.
Meusel of the Yankees ran his to
tal to 19 and Williams of the Browns
boosted his mark to 16.
Johnny Mostil of the White Sox
Increased his base-stealing mark to
23 by adding another theft, while
Simmons of the Athletics brought
his total scoring figure to 61.

Briand s Toast
Foreign Minister Brland in pro
posing a toast to President Coolidge
and Secretary of Commerce Hoover
at a luncheon given at. the Foreign
Office in honor of the American del
egation to the Modern Arts Exposl- j
tion rererred to tne french govern
ment's decision today to send a debt
funding commission to the United
States as "one that would dissipate
the small cloud that has come be
tween the two peoples."
After an allusion to tho ancient
friendship between the United States
and France, M. Briand observed:
"Skilful) propaganda has been em
ployed since the war to separate
your hearts from ours. France lias
been described as troubling the
peace of Europe and as pursuing
warlike aims."
M. Briand said that France had
shown by her acts how far from
truth was this description of her.
During the London conference he
said he had made great sacrifices in
reparations. Recently he had been
putting forth every effort, in every
capital of Europe for the pact of
guarantee In which every country
without exception should have a
just part.
"The clear Intelligence of the
United States cannot be deceived as
to the right of France to remain
and grow in the councils of Europe,"
said M. Briand.
The foreign minister described a
call he had received while premier
from the late American ambassador,
William G. Sharp, who was great!
moved at the situation In which
France then was, and who had in
quired about, measures that were
being taken to meet existing condi

Two major considerations are In
volved In the proposed step: To ob

the really serious aspect it has as

"The Dayton trial has been treat

but to proceed with the Dayton
trial next Friday.
