the Howker Fertilizer Company.

Boston, July 31.-With the announce
ment yesterday Of the assignment Of
the Dudley hosiery mills at Newton

circles that the books Of the concern
showed misuse OF notes of the Bowker
Fertilizer company 10 the extent or
$l2O.OOO by Henry L, Coe of the hosiery
mills. who also had been treasurer Of
the Bowker company
The report affecting Goes financial
administration was confirmed last
night by Frederick IIigglnson, who
succeeded COe as treasurer Of the
B0wker company three weeks Lgo, he
stating that Coe had confessed to the
officers of the Bowker company that
he had taken money represented by
$l20, 900 in notes. Mr.. Higglnson added
that 1t was as yet impossible to learn
from the company's books the exuct
sum lost.
II. s. Gorham, counsel for the COM
pany, said that no action had been
taken against Coe, and that he did not
know what the future would bring
forth. Coe is between 10 and 20 years
old and II appears that he did not profit
personally by the transactions. He
claims that all the money went to the
Dudley hosiery mills, of which he was
also treasurer.
The trouble grew out of the diff
ticulty of borrowing money upon the
Dudley mills paper and the case with
