VICTIMS OF THE PANIC.
The Stock Brokerage Firm of Gurley and John
son Fail.
(By the discounted Presg.l


Washington, May 16.-The stock brok-
erage firm of Gurley & Johnson in this
city, has failed and notice of the sus-
pension of business will be posted on it's
doors tomorrow. The open accounts
make up total of $45O,OOO The liabili-
ties are $4,000 Neither member of the
firm would make a statement tonight.
The failure is a result of the recent
Wall Street panic. Ever since the Nc
vember election the firm has been doing
an enormous business handling it is
said, more transactions in stocks than
any other legitimate brokers in Wash
ington. In expectation of slump warn
ings had been given it's patrons and some
precautions taken, but the wild times that
prevailed in New York. broad margins
put up by local people were swept away.
The business of Gurley and Johnson had
reached such proportions that during the
panic proper account could not be kept OF
margins and the result was the firm found
itself with too heavy a load to carry.
Since 1898 the firm has consisted of Will
liam B. Gurley and Richard A. Johnson.
The latter is a member of the New York
Stock Exchange. Their New York corre-
spondents were Van Emburgh and After
bury. Mr. Johnson is son-in-law OF
. ex-senator German, of Maryland. Mr..
Ichnson's personal fortune has been APP
piled toward liquidation of the indebted
ness.
