The failure yesterday Of the brokerage
firm OF Hunter. Clarke & Jacobs was
widely discussed in Wall street this
morning, owing to disclosures showing
that Herman Clarke, one OF the part
ners. had criminally wrecked the lrm.
A hasty exa mination OF the books shows
hat he falsifed his accounts. drew
money from the firms bank account
without the knowledge Of his partners
and. after realizing much money by sell

firm. fed to parts unknown.

after advising with their counsel, con-
should suspend payment and make al
assets for the beneft OF their creditors.
The eXac amount of the liabilities
Of the firm cannot yet be asc%ertained. as
the amount OF the privileges sold by Mr..
Cla-ke In the name OF the Arm Is not
yet known. John Hunter, jr.. OF Hunter
e. Battle. OF Temple Court. has been
made assignee of the Arm. and Is now
engaged In a~scertaining the exact con-
dition of the affairs OF the firm.
Mr.. Clarke. In selling privileges in the
name Of the firm. was entirely unauthor-
lied by the firm and IT was unknown to
the other members OF the firm. The pro-
ceeds of the privileges were retained by
Mr.. Clark personally. and the firm re-
ceived no benefit whatever from them,
nor do these transactions appear In the
books OF the firm.
MI. Clarke has also drawn large sums
OF money from the partnership bank
account OF the firm. without the knowl-
edge OF his partners. and applied the
money to his personal use.
This money was drawn by checks
signed by MIR. Clarke in the name OF
the firm. These checks were not the
regular business checks OF the frm. but
were bank checks filled In by Mr..
Clarke. They do not apear on the books
OF the firm. and were only discovered by
balancing their bank account.
MIR. Clarke left the city on Sunday and
the firm has received no ommunicatio
from him. So far as can be ascertained
the assets of the firm will be more than
enough to meet Its liabilities and II Is
expected that Messrs. Hunter and Jacobs
will continued the business as soon as
the affairs of the old firm are adjusted"

DUDES NOW THREATENED.
If Tailors Strike They Will Have
Nothing to Wear on Easter.
Journeymen May Refuse to Accept
a Is Per Cent. Reduction.

New York's superinely dressed young
men and even older ones, who would
sooner take a Turkish bath lasting
throughout all Of Easter Sunday than
don any suit Of clothes other than that
of the latest style, may be forced to

In the Fifth avenue district insist on a
determination to cut wages 10 per cent.

that they will strike rather than submit.

To all these dudes and %chappies a con-

day, was of the utmost interest, and

1t is this knowledge that now Is the

the journeymen in making a stand for

World It had a friend ready and willing
to Join the crusade against municipal
rascality.
II believe that The World owes It's sue
cess to it's independence. and I believe
that the people Of New York ought to
be deeply grateful to Mr.. Pulitzer for
the services he has rendered IND as to-
day rendering them. An untrammelled
press is the salvation OF the people. The
World is untrammelled."
BRAINS BROUGHT IT ABOUT.
Henry Allen. the ~well-known broker.
was seen yesterday at his office Mt New
street n Exchange Place. Mr.. Allen
was deeply interested in the figures
found by the committee which made the
special inquiry into The Worlds circula-
ton. When asked what brought about the
phenomenal success Of the paper. Mr..
Allen very cha a cteristically replied that
he thought brains had a good deal to
do with IL.
You see.' he continued. some people
make a success when they least expect
1t. On the other hand, you see men and
business enterprises succeed because they
work for 1t. To my mind The World has
only reached its high place in the jour
nallstlc field because II is dominated by
intelligence That Is always the pathway
that leads to success. Its growth has
been steady and healthy. as the figures
show. Each day seems to add new read
ers to what Is already a great army.
Why Is this so? Simply because the peo-
pie I'm in The World what they want to
read. II you want to buy a hat you will
go to the place where o can get one to
suit, SO II Is with newspaper readers.
They want what suits them.
That Mr.. Pulitzer has been able to
bring about such marvellous results
speaks well for his Industry and pluck.
He is entitled to the greatest cons!dera-
ton by the American public. He took a
paper which simply amounted to moth
ing. and by his own intelligence and the
intelligence OF his l%ieutenants made 1t
one of the foremost journals OF the
world. TIC my mind this Is genius of the
highest order. To sum UP the whole
thing, the paper that reaches the public
heart is the successful paper. The fig
ures 433, 1857 would suggest that The
World Il with he people and that the
people are with The World. first. last
and all the time"
