The person was about 35 years of age, 5 feet 10 inches tall, and weighed about 225 pounds.

HAILED TO The COURTS
Bankruptcy Petition Against
Bankers Who Failed.
Webb-MeyeT Representatives. Only Ones
of the Firms Caught IN Wall Street
Crash, Who Made No Assignment.

NEW YORK. May 6.-An involuntary
petition in bankruptcy was filed this
morning against Onenbach & Moore, of %
Broad Street, known as the principal
brokers for the so-calIed Webb-Meyer
syndicate Ofenbach & Moore. was the
first firm of three to announce suspension
yesterday as the result Of the slump in
The syndicate stocks. The others assigned,
but this firm did not.
The petitioners in bankruptcy proceed
ings are.
Eli Knowles, who seeks to recover
$4,000 as moaey. received by Offenbach &
Moore for the petitioners use; Julius E
SieseI, who seeks to recover $500 on sim
i!ar grounds. and Samuel Wrone, who
wants $32224
The petitioners allege that the firm has
within the last four months paid money
10 certain creditors, with view to hav-
ing them preferred above others They ask
that tie firm be adjudged bankrupt and
that . receiver be appointed.
il was reported just before the Stock
Exchange opened this morning in Wall
Street that the offer made yesterday by
J. ". Davis & Co. to receive certain
shares of Rutland preferred at los had
been Withdrawn. The report set Wall
Street to wondering what it meant. Some
persons said that it meant that Dr. ".
Seward Webb had Withdrawn even the
little support he offered Arthur L. Meyer
yesterday. Others took it to mean that
the firm Of J ". Davis < Co, which is
known as Vanderbilt firm. had decided
to have nothing more to do with the
| Webb Meyer crash.
| The situation in the money market
/ caused some uneasiness before the opening
Of the market. but there were few who
/ did not realize that the big financial in
/ terests in the district were ready to pro-
! vide all the money needed to keep the
1 rate from shooting skyward.
All OF the prominent bankers say that
there is nothing 20 cause worry in the
situation, although they viii not predict
that the rates Of money viii reach a nor

How faT-Teaching may be the conse-

! Webb Meyer stocks and the suspension
OF the three firms cannot, Of course, be

f, firms and banks have been hit. RumoT

however, il is not believed that any other

that a number of individuals, who had
their money invested IN these stocks, have
been cleaned out completely.
