Cite Transfers of Property
Made While Concern
Was InsOIvent

Ralph Schaehe. NJ. B. Badt and Jo-
seph Laib Jr. filed a petition in the
United district court yesterday asking
that the Calkins newspaper syndicate
be declared an involuntary bankrupt.
According to the petition the corpora
tion owes Schaf1e s1.466.57. NJ B. Badt

The petitioners state that the CAL
kins newspaper syndicate is eorpo-
ration and insolvent, owing over $1,000.
They also. declare they are creditors for
over $500. Schaefe says that his claim
is for balance due on goods sold and
delivered to the paper for the Great
Western smelling and refining COM
pany. This claim was transferred to
him by the smelling concern April Is,
and no part of the claim has been
paid. NJ B. Badts claim is for goods
sold by Seldner & Enquist and the
claim afterward transferred to Badt
on April 3. No part of this claim has
been paid. The paper is indebted to

1t is claimed that the corporation
committed two acts of bankruptcy
The first was in transferring March 29,

to other creditors. A chatteI mortgage
was made in favor of Dorm covering
personal property belonging TO the

for preexisting debt for So, 900.
Further claim is made that a portion
of the property was transferred to

to satisfy debt of $500. More prop
erty was transferred to w. r. Sharkey
