FOE BANKRUPT
F. A. Unsted Liabilities ST.
$751; 800 and Assets $210--
Organized Steel Company

Chicago. Aug. 14.-Franklin A,
Umsted who in 1908 orga nized in
New York 100000 steel COM
pany with the purpose of fighting the
United States Steel corporatin. today
filed petition in bankruptcy in the
United States district court. He gave
his liabilities at s1.551.s6O and his
assets as $210. in household furniture.
The liabilities included money bor-
rowed to finance the company. 1t is
said former United States Senator
McLaurin of Mississippi lost $4,000
in the company.
Other large claims scheduled are:
International Trust company, Bal
timore. s105, 900.
American Finance company, New
York. 100000. and the United Union
Trust company, New York. $225.0O0.
Umsted rganized the company un-
der the laws of Maine. His idea was
to combine all the available indie
pendent steel properties. including
the Tennessee Coal and Iron Railroad
company Of Alabama, which since has
been purchased by the United States
Steel corporation. He borrowed large
sums from banks and trust companies
in many different cities but the plan
proved a failure. Umsted recently
came here and obtained employment
