made some unfortunate personal invest
ments which had nothing to do with the
business OF the firm. One investment was
in a sewing machine patent which figures
among the assets Other assets are stocks
Of the United States Tunnel. Mining. Milling
Drainage and Transportation Company and
the Garden City Company, both pledged for
loans.
The creditors who filed the petition are
George NJ. Baldwin, 81, 500; w. NJ. Hastings,
81 400, and George II. Goddard Of Plain
field, N. J., 9I2, 500, all on notes. Mr.. God
dard holds as security $1,000 shares OF the
mining stock and two notes for $1,000,
made 10y James c. Pagan. He states that
he believes the collateral to be OF no value.
The petition alleges that Mr.. Tracy on July
"a transferred his equity in IS praferred
and $50 common shares of the Garden City
Company TO James Parkes.
Mr.. Tracy lived at Plainfieid for nearly
forty years. but recently removed to this
city. His house. which is heavily mort
gagged, stands in the name of his daughter.
He studied law with Evarts, SOuthmayd
4 Choate. HIS mother was a sister OF
W. NJ Evarts.
II Was said last night that MIR. Traoys
financial trouble was due entirely to his
mining venture. Although his invest
ment is not considered a total loss ~ yet,
the stock was useless for the purpose Of
raising money.
