GREENHUT DEFENDS HIS FINANCIAL ACTS Snys Transfer of Funds of Store to Private Hank Was Justified. TKLT-S OF SACUIFICES Capt. .1. 11. nreenhut nnd the Mon mouth Securities Company, through Henry W. Tnft, replied yesterday to the attacks upon them ami the proposed reorganization plan by the Independent creditors. Their stnlementi nro In de fence of ccrtnln transactions prior to the receivership of the CIrecnhut store, In which, the Independent creditors con tend, funds were transferred from the store to the Crccnhuls to the detriment of the company's credit, Tho total amount of these sums which tho cred itors are trying to recover Is $2,408,000. The statement Issued by Cnpt. Oreen- hut practically admits that there Is a "possibility" that the creditors might receive larger dividends In litigation, but It adds that the creditors' protec tive committee, which fostered the re organization scheme, nnd Its counsel Investigated the legal and business aspects of the situation In a moat care ful manner before "reaching conclu sions as to tho wisest course for tho creditors to pursue." Cnpt. CIrecnhut discussed at length the removal of funds frbm the store to the private banking firm (In amount JsSO.OOO), which transaction the Inde pendent credltora maintain was to re lieve tho banking pnrtners from per- i sonal liability to tho depositors In pur suance of Indemnity ngreemcnt nllegctl by the creditors to havo been unlawful. The CIrecnhut stntement assertB that the storo hail enjoyed the advantages ac cruing from tho private bank for eigh teen jears anil that "even If there was not a legal there certainly was a moral obligation on the part of the J. II. (Irecn hut Company to pay these depositors." Capt. C.rectihut asserts In his state ment that hail the depositors not been paid on deinmd the corporation -would, haxe befll compelled to go out of bul- ne- nt once. The tatement would justify' the alleged preferential payments of $900,000 to the .Monmouth Securities Company on the ground that (Ireenhut personally was ltielorslng the paper of the (Ireenhut corporation nt that time to the amount of $..50,000. Capt. ("Ireen hut also states that neither he nor his family ever disposed of a single bond or share of etock of the company. Creditor Committee t'rltlrlaril. "Tho Independent creditors' commit tee," nserts Cnpt. (Ireenhut, "represents n minority of the creditor. of the J. B. (Ireenhut Company. It has endeavored by the circulation of literature and tlm use of the newspapers for the dissemi nation of n variety of charges ami claim to embarrass tho careful, painstaking and conservative treatment of tho sub ject by the protective committee. The character of their campaign will. If tho present plan Is not adopted, go far to make Impossible, any reorganization at all." Cnpt. nreenhut sas that one of the claims against (Ireenhut on the $S0,000 private bank transaction Is made In con nection with the liquidation of the bank and tho payment of Its depositors. He declares that In the eighteen cars lit which the bank wn. run on the store premises It was conducteil solely for the benefit of the corporation, none of tho partners having benefited from It. He admit the corporation assumed lla blllt for the bank's loses on the al leged unlawful Indemin) ncreemi'iits. "By reason of occurrences In tho neighbot hood 111 the early part of the .venr 1914 (the Slegel failures largely) there was a run on this bank antl It be came necessary to convert the assets of the bank Into cash for thu payment of the eleposllors. In ono year (10,000 depositors, with deposits aggregating $4, .100.0011. were paid In full. "If they had not been paid on de mand the corporation would have been compelled lo .it once go out of business. As there wn no suspicion then that it wa not entliely solvent It considered Itself fully Jutlflcd In doing whit It did to prevent the bank from going Into Ilqulelntion ami thu causing a loss to thousand of small depositors I'refereiilliil nj turlil. "A to the claim with reference to alleged preferential payments to the Monmouth Securities Company It Is to be noted that nt the time these alleged preferential payments are claimed to havo been niaele I personally was In ilorslng the paper of the corporation, disi'ounteil at the various banks, as I had continually done befoie. Kurther more, the record shows that during the few elas previous to the appointment of tUe receivers I personally Indorsed and offeree! my Indoisement on l.'iiiO.OOO of the corporation's paper and thnt the lecelvershlp wns brought about by rea son of the refusal of the bank to re new existing notes even with such In ilnrst'iui'iit Since the receivership I have done nil I eolll.l tn ntiiiUt II,.. .-....I the trustees In the proper ndmlnlstrn-' Hon of thu estate ami I am ready antl willing to give my services a set forth ! in Iho plnn of reorganization to the I new company without recompense. "It may further be said in view nf tho atmospheiV which tho Independent committee has sought to create that neither 1 nor my family havo ever sold a single bond or a share of stock of the company and that, on the other hand, we have, since the bonds were Issued, In addition to the original Investment in tne stock nnd bonds of the company purehai-od from third persons for ensh $2.10,000 of theo bonds nt PU and also I over $400,000 of tlio stock of the cor - I poratlou at par. showing our confidence 1 In tlie enterprise nnd in the value of , the real estate by whliii the bonds wero ! secured." Mr Taft's stntement for the Mon mouth Securities Company is shorter, but reviews the same ground, . "The ho-called preferential payments were made four or five month. heforo the tccclvcrshlp," be snys, "and at a time when Capt. (Ireenhut was person ally indorsing tho eompnny's paper to an extent largely In excess of the ,ig. gre-gate amount of the alleged prefer ences and was thereby pledging his personal credit. Under such circum stances It Is difficult to see how nn In tention tn secure u preference can be Imputed to him. "The nreenhut family Is the heaviest loser In the (ireenhut company, a it owned about $4,000,000 of the stock nnd about $.1,,i00,000 nf the bonds of that company. I believe mat the plan proposed by the protective committee will realize more to the rrrdltnrs than nny plan which contemplates the collec tion of assets thinugh UTIgatlon " Members of the Independent commit tee regarded these statements yesterelny as an attempt on the part of the Oreen huts to turn aside tlie creditors' oppo. slllon to tlie reorganization. The li ele pendent committee stated yesterday that II already has about 1,000 creditors tn back lis opposition and demand for a larger dividend from the (Ireenhuts un less lhe deslro to fnen liquidation of tho store and lltlgutlon for $2,408,000 In alleged claims.
