Women Depositors of Siegel
Banks HoOt His Wife al
Church Where Daughter Weds

NEW YORK, June 25.-With a
dozen cIamoring depositor sof the de-
funct Siegel Bank looking on, Mrs
Henry Siegel was served with sum-
mons on the steps of st. Thomas
Church Yesterday afternoon just as
she was about to enter the church to
witness the marriage of her daugh-
ter. Dorothy Violet Wilde, to Earl
Joseph Moon, of st. Louis.
The depositors. all of hwom were
women rather poorly dressed, did not
recognize Mrs. Siegel when she left
her coach, but once they found her
out they made a rush for the door
of the church. apparently bent on
creating trouble big policeman
barred the way, however and the
women, uttering all kinds of threats,
lay in wait until the wedding was
over.
AS Mrs. Siegel came down the steps
to enter her carriage she wore a
necklace of large diamonds. and this
seemed to infiame the depositors in
the defunct bank.
Look at her," cried one of them.
why doesn't 81 give us back our
money? Look at her diamonds"
One of the women did manage to
reach the door of the carriage just as
1t started, and, hurting letter at
Mrs. Siegel, screamed:
GIVE me back my s9.0o0i"
The appearance of the women de-
positors presented a strong contrast
to the richly gowned bride. her
mother and the wedding guests.

C[AFL|N TANGLE
NOT TO AFFECT
THE HAHNE CO.
Local House Only Connected
With the United Dry Goods
Companies.

The department store of Hahne e.
Co. will not be affected by the failure
OF the H. B. Claflin Company, of New
ork. This announcement was ade
at the office of the local firm tins
forenoon. The statement Is as follows
I'VE wish to state that the present
embarrassment of the H. B. Claflin
Company, New York, in no way
affects Hahne & Co., as Hahne & Co.
is Independently financed. Yours
very truly, HAHNE & co.
ALBERT ]. Hahne. vice president"
Hahne & Co. is controlled by the
United Drygoods Companies, but it is
financed independently. 1t stands on
its own bottom in the general trans
action of business. The firm buys in
the open market where it deems most
advantageous. II buys through Claf-
lin interests only when that source
proves it's superiority of product and
quotations.
The Hahne & Company business
was taken over some years ago by
John Clafin, son of the founder of
the II. B. Clafiin business. 1t did not
at any time directly pass into the
con troll of the H. B. Clafiin Com
pany.
The spring reports of the various
stores operating under the direction
of the United Drygoods Company
were recently submitted to the New
York Office. All of them showed an
unusually successful spring trade, in
many cases the business being a rec
ord breaker.
1t is commonly believed that the
trouble with the H. B. Clafilin Com
pany was due to the fact that the
concern was una BILE to obtain suffi-
cient funds to carry them over until
they were able to realize on notes of
their patrons.

NEW YORK'S SHIFT OF
TRADE CENTRES BLAMED
IN cLAFLIN STATEMENT
Especial to the Evening Star.

NEW YORK, June 25-A sta
issued by the firm of II. B. Cfanm
Co., for whom receivers were named
today, said: "rhe unprecedented
shifting of trade centres in New York
has caused great loss to many in
terests. In the case of H. B. Claflin
Company, the uptown movement of
business has seriously curtailed our
wholesale profits and has compelled
us to rely mainly on the profits from
financing retail stores throughout the
country Their rapidly expanding
business has occasioned large capital
requirements which we have not been
able to meet.
"A reeeivership has therefore be-
come necessary, pending a readjust-
ment of the methods. A plan of re
organization for the II. b. Claflln
Company will soon be presented which
we hope will prove acceptable to both
creditors and stockholders The As
soclates Merchants Company and the
United Dry Goods Company, are not
themselves borrowers of money. They
are in exceedingly strong financial
position and the success of their re
tail stores Is assured"
