filed yesterday in the United states District
Court against the wholesale grocery firm Of E.
G. Hazard G. Co. at No III Hudson street. the
petitioners being Frank Mora, of No 10 VIII
lam street: Alfred E. Hermann. Of NO. 123
West Firth street. and Louis j. Gold, OF No 2Ul
East 114th street.
The alleged act of bankruptcy is based on

ably more. The firm is believed to have about
two hundred creditors in various parts OF thu

Iivered by the firm of William Lanahan & Co,

firm to obtain the necessary CISult' anu my

IN begin proceedings in bankruptcy in order TO
protect his business. cannot say whether the
firm will be able to resume business
George NJ. Archer, member of the firm, SAID
that the affairs of the company would be salts
factorily adjusted. because the assets far ex-
ceeded the liabilities. The inability Of the firm
TO obtain ready money caused it TO take the
step which it had taken. he said
In referring TO the assets Of the firms. which
Mr.. Archer considered excellent. he stated that
the large manufacturing plant at Shrewsbury,
N j. where about twelve kinds Of grocer's
speciaIties are made. was the property Of the
company and was not the property Of any in
dividuaI At this plant catsup, sauces and other
specfaIties are manufactured
