sets, Among Creditors.

Boston, May 26.-Seventy-one banks
and trust companies, o OF them in
Massachusetts, but several located in
various parts of the country, are among
the creditors of the banking firm OF
Burnett, Cummings & Co., of 43 Milk
street, this city. which filed a volun-
tary petition in bankruptcy in the
United States district court, Thursday,
with liabilities placed at S1,714,36S. The
assets are stated to be uncertain. The
creditors have been given to UNDER
stand that they will not exceed $780,
600, If, indeed, they prove to be of any
value whatsoever. The bankruptcy
petition is the heaviest ever filed in
this district. Attorney j. T. Auebach,
counsel for the bankrupt firm, said that
the cause of the failure was the build
ing and financing of the Massachusetts
street railways. The roads were in
thinly-settled districts and were un-
able to make suitable connections with
roads running to Boston. and were
placed in the hands of receivers and
their notes become valueless. The Sc
cured creditors number 81. and the un-
secured 81. There are 32 Massachusetts
savings banks in the list of creditors
and 13 Massachusetts national banks.
One of the heaviest creditors is the
Worcester Five Cents savings bank, Of
Worcester, with a claim of $50, 800.
Among the western institutions af-
fected are four Chicago banks and one
at Ann Arbor, Mich. All Of the latter
loans were small.
In connection with the bankruptcy
petition the state savings bank COM
missioners said that so far as their in
vestieations have gone, the savings
banks which have loaned money upon
the Massachusetts security bonds had
not violated any laws.
