TYNNEArOI,1S, May 1.-The rumored

Clarke, Junior partner Of the insolvcnt
lumber firm of n. p. Clarke & Co., are
more sensational than the creditors at

drawn from the firms account no less a
sum than 1915, 200 charged to personal
expenses. He has made no explanation
and has pers!stently refused to answer
any questions. except to deny that he
has been gambling in stocks. He has
no personal assets, so far as known, ex-
ccpt a life insurance policy for $3.50, 600,
which he has not mentioned to the
creditors.
1t will not be known for days, per-
haps weeks, just what per cent of the
liabilities the wrecked company wip
pay. 1t is not likely that more than Is
cents on the dollar will be realized, and
perhaps very little over so per cent
