MAY BE WEEKS BEFORE STATUS
 IS KNOWN.
WORK BEING PUSHED
It is Said that Banking Creditors Claims Will Total About S30,O00, 900, and Mercantile About S4,0oo, ,0Oo- No Statement Pending Adjustment.

New York, June 26.-It may be sey- eral weeks before the exact financial status of the H. B. Clafiin company ana the smaller mercantile concerns that Tailed with 1t can be established according to one of the receivers of the Clafiin company tonight. A firm of puDIfc accountants has been engaged to go over the company's books, and It's work will be pushed so that it may be brought to a conclusion and definite figures be made known as quickly as possible.
 Will Have to Wait for Inventory,
 We have to get an inventory of the stock of the H. B. Ciafiin company and the nascertain the amounts of pills receivable" said Joseph B. Mar receivers After getting the facts rel ative to that company, it will be neces- sary to ascertain the amount of stock and the financial condition of the out side stores. and as these stores are widely scattered 1t will require some weeks time to get that information
 T believe that it will be possible to ge- condensed statement regarding the affairs of the H. B. Clafiin com- pany much sooner, but even this task will require many days of work Every facility is being given the account ants by the officials of the company, but pending the compilation of the ac- countants' report there will be no statement"
 Some FninciaI Information.
 There appeared tonight to be some difference of opinion regarding the firms liabilities. While it was stated in the financial district that the ha- oinues would run up to more than 900, owing to the fact that more than S2.000,00O of mercantile claims had to be added to s34. .000, ,000 of bank ing claims, the assertion was made by a man who is familiar with the situa- ton that the total liabilities of the H. B. Clafiin company and the allied stores would be approximately $34,- 100000. According to this authority, the banking creditors claims total about s30.OO0, 900 and the mercantile claims about s4.000.O00.

WASHINGTON, D. c., May -
The work of the National Association
for the Prevention of Tuberculosis,
which was begun just ten years ago
was reviewed at the opening session
OF the tenth annual meeting OF the
association here today.
DR., Charles j. HATFIELD, of Phila-
delph.a, one OF the directors, re.
ported that after ten years work
there are over $500 anti-tubeercu-
losls agencies now well established
as compared with less than $50 such
agencies in 1905.
Numerous Agencies.
The agencies today include $50
tuberculosis sanatoria and hospitals
410 dispensaries. nearlf 1900 antf.
tuberculosis associations and 25U
open air schools and fresh air
classes. Besides. considerable
OF boards OF health AMI 9TH
er agencies are taking an active part
in this campaign.
While the National Association
cannot lay claim to the organization
of each and every individual piece
of anti-tuberculosis work developed
during these years, says the report,
1t is probably no oxaggeration to
say that at least great part OF
this movement has Geen stimulated
directly by our association. 1t is,
therefore, significant to you. who
are members OF the association to
note that while the entire budget oil
the national Office for this period
has been only 100000, federal,
state and local anti-tuberculosis
agencies, both public and private,
have expended during this SINE
period practically 100000, 900"
Gain in Stamp Sale,
DIR. Hatfield also reported upon
the Red Cross Christmas Seal sale
for last year and estimated tina;
when all the returns are in, the ag-
gregate sale will reach more than
43, 900, 900 seals, gain OF ten per
cent over 1912. Plans for the sale
next fall have already been per-
fected and the printing Of the seals
will soon be begun. Some OF the
most significant developments OF
new work during the last year have
been in the states of South Carolina.
Oklahoma and South Dakota. LII
all of these states the new activities
have been stimulated By the sale OF
the Red Cross esals.
