SAY H. LEvEY rs BANKRUPT,
Creditors Start Proceedings Against
Dyer and Cleaner.

A petition in bankruptcy was filed yester-
day against Harry Levey, a dyer and
cleaner at No. 81 West 43d street, by
Francis II. Griffin. attorney for several
creditors. Judge Fl. A Adams. before
whom the petition was filed, appointed
Marcus Helfand as receiver. with a bond Of
s1.5oO. and authorized him to carry on the
business for ten days.
In the application for a receiver II was
stated that the liabilities are over $1,000
and the assets $1,000 in plant and fixtures
Mr.. Griffin said that the liabilities were
largely in excess OF those figures. The
bankruptcy petition came as a surprise as
IL was supposed that Levey's business was
profitable. At the office of Abraham H.
Weltfsch, attorney for Levey. II was said
that the liabilities are about 100000 and
assets probably $4,000, principally in lease
holds, plant and machinery.
