Statement Regarding Election
of Waggaman Trustees.
CLAIMS PRESENTED
FIRST COLLATERAL NOTE FILED
BY CREDITOR.
Claim for SIS 1000 Based on Tangible
Security Outside Of
List No. 1.

Mr.. Andrew Y. Bradley, referee in bank
ruptcy in the Waggaman case being asked
by reporter for The Star today about his
suggestion in regard to the waving of In
terest by creditors of the bankrupt, for the
purpose of voting. said:
There have been filed approximately GOO
claims. on large majority of which inter-
est is claimed. and is properly allowable.
In a majority of these claims the interest
has not been computed. and even when
computed 1t will be necessary for me to
verify the computation
LAS has been stated" continued Mr. Brad
ley. 1.-THE trustee or trustees must be elected
by majority of the creditors representing
majority of the amount of claims allowed.
and present at the time of the meeting for
the appointment. The amount of each claim
is obtained by adding to the principal any
interest which may be due to the date of
filing of the petition In bankruptcy.
Amy creditor, therefore, who insists
upon his right to vote for the interest
due upon the principal of his debt has a
right to do so. but If this right is insisted
upon it will necessitate an indefinite
postponement OF the appointment of the
trustees because of the labor involved in
the calculation of interest. .-.-
Il therefore suggested yesterday at the
meeting of creditors that creditors waive
their rights to vote the interest due upon
tiicii III OFueT tHdI appointment
OF the trustee or trustees may be made at
as early date as possible
The interest due on those claims will. of
course. remain part of them for the pur-
pc Sc or distributing the assets of the bank
| rupt. and the waving of the right to vote
the interest will in no way jeopardize the
rights Of the creditors"
