BANKRUPTCY IS ASKED
PETITION AGAINST THOMAS F.
WAGGAMAN OF WASHINGTON.


washington, Aug. 23.--A sensation
was caused in financial ana real estate
circles in this city today when II De-
came known that q petition in bank
ruptcy had been filed by three of the
leading national banks In the city
against Thomas F. Waggaman, a
prominent real estate and Insurance
agent of this city. and the treasurer
of the Catholic University. The petit
tion At the same time seeks to set
aside a deed of trust recorded yester-
day on Mr.. waggamans property for
approximately $4,000, in favor of the
Catholic University. on the ground that

insolvent debtor to prefer one of his
creditors. r.r-
The petitioning banks were the
Second National Bank. the National
Metropolitan Bank and the National
Bank of Washington, each Of which
alleges 1t held over due and unpaid
paper of Mr.. Waggaman's, the total
amount held by the three exceeding
Metropolitan Bank.
It Is probable that the proceedings
are the beginning Of considerable liti-
cation.
Mr.. Waggaman had been In the real
estate business here since 1873 and
was reported to be a man of large
means. He was the possessor of the
finest private. art gallery in the city
and some comment was caused several
months ago when a brief announce
ment appeared in the papers to the ef-
feet that his art works had been turn
ed over to the Catholic University. At
the time 1t was explained as a matter
of convenience, but II Is said now that
~ hn Tynfvaruitv
had to do, with the matter
Besides handling the moneys of the
university, Mr.. waggaman controlled
large amounts of money In the aggre-
gate belonging to other persons, both
in this city and away from here and 1t
Is stated that to some extent at least
Mr.. Waggamans personal notes were
given as security to those whose money
he controlled. For some years he has
been engaged in extensive operations
in the suburbs of Washington and has
had much capital tied up thereby.
1t is understood that some time ago
the authorities of the Catholic Uni
versity became dissatisfied with the
manner in which the funds of the insti-
tuition in Mr.. Waggaman's hands were
invested and secured. and after nego-
tiations between them, the new ar
rangement was effected. This new
arrangement was embodied in the set
Element In which the deed of trust was
part The deed of trust was dated
July % last, and it is understood that
the delay In recording It was OCCASION
ed by the terms of the adjustment with
Mr.. Waggaman. A spirit of uneasi-
ness respecting Mr.. waggaman's
financial condition is said to have pre-
vailed in some circles for a few days
The friends of the University say they
will lose nothing II the deed of trust
recorded yesterday can be sustained
as against the general creditors OF Mr..
Waggaman.
