Noted New York Financier Makes an
Assignment.
NO STATEMENT OF LIABILITIES
Corporations With Which He Was
Connected Not Involved.
PURELY APERSONAL MATTER

NEW YORK, March 6-The financial
embarrassment of John E. Searles one of
the organizers of the American Sugar Re-
inning Company. and until yesterday presi-
dent of the American Cotton Company, it
was said today, was purely personal, and
Will not involve any of the eighteen corpo-
rahons with which he is connected either
as president, treasurer. secretary, director
or trustee Mr.. Searles' liabilities, It Is be-
liesed. will reach about S1,30O0OO. and are
covered by his assets, which, however, are
mainly unlisted stocks, and are therefore
not readily marketable or of a negotiable
character. II not pressed by the creditors
and sufficient time is granted, Assignee
Dwight expects to be able to pay Mr..
Searles' obligations In full.
Mr.. Searles was at his office today, but
he would not talk concerning his assign
ment. Pending the action of the board of
directors of the American Cotton Company
on the resignation of Mr. Searles, which
was filed before his assignment was an
nounced. the affairs of that corporation are
now being managed by Vice President VIM
G. Lowering. who was called here from Bos-
ton, and d. c. Ball, the general manager.
Assignee Dwight said today that the
schedules of assets and liabilities are be-
ing prepared, and as soon as they are ready
Will be submitted to the creditors and a
period of time to liquidate Mr.. Searles' af
fairs will be asked for.
So far as it could be learned this fore
noon no out-of-town institutions are in
volved in Mr.. Searies' breakdown.
Assignee Dwight said that he did not
think the report that Mr.. Searles' assign
ment was the outcome Of the refusal of a
downtown bank to honor his note for
$4,000 was correct.

Mr.. Dwight's Statement.

Mr.. Dwight. assignee of Mr. Searles, said
late yesterday afternoon
81 am now making a careful examination
of Mr.. Searles' affairs, and a statement of
his assets and liabilities will be prepared at
once and submitted to the creditors.
have no other statement to make at pres
ent."
Mr.. Dwight's law partner, Charles E.
Hughes, of counsel for the assignee, said:
THE assignment of Mr.. Searles was made
for the protection of his general creditors,
in order that the interests of all might be
fully protected. His assets are believed to
be largely in excess of his liabilities. but
include considerable amount of unlisted
securities, which were not readily convert
ible into cash to meet Obligations maturing
at this time. Mr.. Dwight, the assignee Is
now engaged on careful investigation Of
Mr.. Searles' affairs, and Is preparing
statement of his assets and liabilities. which
will be submitted to the creditors as soon
as possible. The assignment in no way af
fects the American Cotton Company, or any
other Of the corporations with which Mr..
Searles Is connected"
Neither Mr. Dwight nor Mr.. Hughes
would make any estimate of the probable
amount OF the assets and liabilities, Their
office was busy place last night, both men
being engaged with their force of clerks In
making up the schedules of Mr.. Searles. It
was thought that the statement of liabih-
ties and assets would be ready today.
Creditors Assent to Assignment.
1t was said last night that the assignment
was made with the consent Of the heaviest
creditors, who wanted time to realize on
the securities constituting the liabilities, be-
ing unwilling that those securities should
be sacrificed by forced sales.
Albert B. Roeder, a son-in-law OF Mr..
Searles, recently went through bankruptcy,
getting rid of liabilities to the amount of
S345, 255.
Mr. Searles was at his office, No. p WILL
lam street. yesterday afternoon, but de-
clined to see reporters. His Office adjoins
the offices of the American Cotton Com
pany, of which he was until recently presI-
dent. D. c. Ball, the general manager Of
that company, last night made the follow
ing statement:
Mr.. Searles' assignment does not affect
the American Cotton Company in any way
directly or indirectly, the company's bust
ness having never been in any way connect
ed with his private affairs. Mr.. Searles'
resignation president OF the company had

Assigned Yesterday Afternoon.
The New York Tribune Of this morning

The New York Tribune Of this morning
says:
John E. Searles, who for many years has
been conspicuous figure in financial, COM
mercial and religious circles in this city.
yesterday afternoon made an assignment to
Edward F. Dwight of the law firm of Car
ter, Hughes & Dwight, No 90 Broadway.
Mr.. Searles in the assignment stated that
he was engaged in general corporation and
financial business. He is at present inter-
eSted in many corporations either Off
Ger or director. Estimates of Mr.. Searles'
liabilities are anywhere from S1,OO0.0O0 to
S2,O00,OOO. He was popularity regarded here
tofore a millionaire, and some of his
friends considered him worth several mil
lions although ever since his retirement
from the American Sugar Refining Com
pany there had been reports heard that his
financial condition was not of the best. The
cause which precipitated the assignment
could not be learned yesterday. 1t has been
known in some banking circles this week
that note of $4,000 which Mr.. Seares
had Endorsed for another person was about
maturing, and it was said that the bank
which held the note had been asked to ex
tend it; but whether the extension was
granted could not be learned. 1t was sur
missed however, on account of the assign
ment having been made that the note was
not extended.
The announcement of Mr. Searles' finan-
cial embarrassment caused no real surprise
in banking circles, where his paper long ago
ceased to be prime character. 1t was the
general opinion of those who knew some
thing about Mr.. Searles affairs that he
had too many irons in the fire. An off,
cal of one of the leading banks downtown
said yesterday that Mr.. Searles had been
in bad way for ready money since last
fall The collateral he would offer was not
of the best, hence his inability to negotiate
loans.

RATHER QUEER SUPPORT.

We have no fight on Mr.. Midleswart,
Register.
o, no. It's all mistake Every
body knows that the Register is exert
ing every effort to secure Mr.. Middle
swart's reelection! Here is fair
sample of the way it is supporting
him:
1T is not a question of whC11Jr Mr..
Middleswart should be renOminated to
crafty his own interests or carry out
the mandates of Mr.. Rose, but wheth .
er he has been a success as a legislator
and whether he is sure of election II
nominated"
This bears out in full measure the
statement made by the Leader Sunday
morning that the Register and its
gang are openly boasting that If Mr.
Middleswart is nominated they will
fight him at the polls and do every
thing in their power to accomplish his
defeat. However, it is gratifying to
know that the loyal Republicans OF
Washington county will not for one
moment approve of or support such q
cut-throat policy. After speaking in
a sighting way of him, here is more
evidence that the Register is not fight
ing Mr.. Middleswart:
"a man should be nominated foi
the place who is acknowledged to D'
strong from the start, man who car
command the full party strength ant
be heard on important questions in th'
legislature.
The animus in the above is plail
enough when understood. 1t is fair II
attribute this vent of spleen on tn
part of the editor of the Register to hi
failure to secure a place on the Boar
of Managers of the Ohio Penitentiary
or some other board. and with tn
hope of securing which he eagerl
sought the assistance of Washington
county's able and influential Repre-
sentative in the Ohio Legislature.
Marietta daily leader. (Marietta, Ohio) 1895-1906, 1901-04-16
TUESDAY, APRIL 16, 1901.
EIGHT FAIR,

Under the guise of an "Inquisitivc
Voter" the Register makes an attack
upon the public record of Hon. c. G.
Middleswart, Washington county's
Representative in the Ohio General
Assembly, making statements that are.
to say the least, absurd, and which
will not be accepted by any thinking
man. The first question that natur-
ally comes to the reader is, Who is is
Inquisitive Voter?" If the state
ments made by him are true, why is he
afraid to give his name? If he is a
man of courage, let him come to the
front and show himself, instead of
lurking in the dark behind an annony-
nous communication, a position thai
is universally despised and that it al
ways a mark of cowardice.
MIR. Middleswart is candidate on
his merits and his record as public
official, as we'll as his character as a
gentleman in every particular, will
stand the light of day. The Leade
has thus far not spoken word in sup
port of the candidacy of Mr.. Middles
wart, and even now we do not attempt
to place his claims above those of any
other good Republican. But since he
has been assailed in a cowardly way,
we deem it our right and duty to say
of him, as we would of any other pub
lie official who has discharged his OBJ
legations honestly, conscientiously,
and to the satisfaction of an intelli-
gent constituency that he is entitled
TO careful and fair consideration.
While we 90 not assume to speak for
Mr.. Middleswart we are strongly OF
the opinion that he is ready to stand
on and defend his record and that he is
not afraid of an honest criticism OF
any of his official acts. Let this Wis
ionary "Inquisitive Voter come out
in the open, rather than resort to the
meanest kind of bushwhacking tactics.

Gloomy representations of conditions
in Porto Rico have been given out by
newspapers and individuals, but Sen
ator Foraker takes an entirely different
view of the situation. The Senator,
as chairman of the Senate Committee
on Porto Rican affairs, has had excep-
tional opportunities to get hold of in
side facts, and says that the reports
that have come to him all indicate
that as rule the people of the island
are now more prosperous than they
have been for years.

The Register speaks of issues that
will be raised by Democrats againI
Mr.. Middleswart next fall. 1t is GER
tainly expected that Democrats will
oppose Mr.. Middleswart, just as they
would any other Republican. But
why should the Register, a professedly
Republican paper, worry about what
the Democrats are going to do? To
the casual observer it would appear
that the wolf has at last cast its coat
aside.

1t is not yet certain as to whether
or not the Register and it's gang have,
by promises of support, induced a well
known Democratic office-seeker OF
Washington county to enter the race
this year for Representative. Those
on the inside are of the opinion that
since the good sound trouncing he re-
ceived last fall he is not very anxious
for another dose of the same kind of
medicine.

The name of General Nelson A. Miles
is being conjured with for Demo-
cratic Presidential nomination pur-
poses in 1904. 1t is hardly possible
that such an experienced veteran as
General Miles can be caught with chaGf
of this kind
