Mr.. Siedenburg acted as the chairman
OF the creditors committee and stated
when the conferees got together that
he understood the meeting had been
called TO hsten 20 a proposition for the
settlement OF the liabilities OF the de-
funct firm. Mr.. cutcheon said that Mr..
Siedenburgs information was correct
and he then made on behalI OF ID. ].
suily & Co. the following proposition;
THE PROPOSITION.
That provided Mr. Sully Is reinstated
10 membership in the cotton exchange
Immediately. the firm Is prepared TO settle
the claims OF all creditors dollar Tor
dollar on the following basis:
Forty per cent OF the total liabilities TO
be paid In cash on Thursday morning and
for the remaining 60 per cent the unse-
cured notes Of the firm TO be given, 10 run
for such periods as would DO satisfactory
TO both the creditors and members OF the
firm; that Joheph II. Hoadley, the tenn
porary assignee, should Mr.. Sully so re-
quest, should be succeeded by two as
signees, one to be selected by the credl-
tors and one by Mr.. sully.
Mr. Cutcheon further stated that ne un-
derstood that an assignee who would be
favorable 10 the creditors would be David
Miller. He said that Mr.. Hoadiey had ask
that he be relieved OF his Job as soon as
satisfactory arrangements could be made
and that Evans X. Dick OF the firm OF
Dick Brothers & Co. would be satisfactory
to Mr.. Sully as the additional assignee.
IL was further stated that the estimated
total Liabilities OF the firm was about
$500, 600, with nominal assets sufficient 10
discharge all the obligations. Mr.. Clutch
con said that certified checks for 81, ,240 900,
or whatever larger amount 40 per cent OF
the total liabilities would be- would be
ready for distribution among the creditors
AT the opening OF the Cotton Exchange on
Thursday morning.
Then Mr.. Graham took a hand in the
discussion and eh pointed out that the
only way Mr.. Sully had OF settling with
MS creditors was TO resume business as a
cotton broker. Unless he could do that.
his income would be cut off and there
would be little possibility OF the creditors
making anything like a favorable set
tlement with him.
FRIENDS TO THE RESCUE.
He stated that Mr.. Sully's friends had
guaranteed TO provide him with the cash
necessary TO liquidate 40 per cent OF the
creditors claims and all Sully wanted
was chance TO earn the rest.
The proposition was regarded with IA
vor by some OF the members OF the COM
mittee representing the, creditors. while
others did not so regard IL. One OF the
conferees said late last evening that
those who oppose the proposition did not
feel that they had any guarantee that the
notes would be met at maturity, since
the proposition carried with IL no guar
antee that Mr.. Sully would refrain from
