BANKRUPT SAYS
HIS STATUS IS
DUE TO A THREAT.
Pay Your Bills or Get Killed."
Reads Letter to Haber-
dasher.

PAY your bills or get killed." said
q letter received by Louis Snyder, a
bankrupt haberdasher of Newark and
Elizabeth, according to his testimony
on the witness stand in bankruptcy
court yesterday. "That is why went
into bankruptcy" he said. The In
formation was brought out while he
was being examined before Referee
Atwood L. De Coster by George
Furst, representing Edwin r. Semple,
receiver.
Mr.. Furst asked him why he con-
sented to an adjudication in bank
ruptcy and he answered.: Because
got that letter"
Snyder has been in business for
ssventy years. His handbook shows
that during that time he has made
deposits in banks almost every day,
up to November II. No deposits show
on the book since that date, how
ever. He went into bankruptcy De-
cetnber 2. He was asked to explain
this and said that he gave his money
to his wife and uncle.
Il gave my wife $3.50 for the house
and my uncle Seigel Snyder $400
owed him on loan. Then / bought
my wife a $3.50 coat. also gave her
3275 in rent collected from my sub
leases on december i.
He admitted that he had purchased
500 pairs of pants from Morris
Klein, a New York manufacturer, on
November 30. None of these could
be found in the store, according to
Mr.. Furst. Mr.. Snyder said he did
not know where they were. He said
he sold all of a shipment of $500
worth Of furs received by him on
vember 80 from Glass & Mazoe, In
York. Questioned further about
threatening letter, he said he
deceived 1t on November 27, and later
gave It to his lawyer.
Mr.. Furst said there had been
many boxes and cases removed from
the Newark and Elizabeth stores just
before the petition in bankruptcy
was filed. He asked the witness to
explain this. The latter said he
often moved his stock back and
forth between the Newark and
Elizabeth stores.
His books, Mr.. Furst said, show
that between August l and DeNem-
Der 1 of this year the bankrupt re-
cetved $25,474 worth of merchandise.
His stock has been appraised by ex-
pert appraisers at $500. Mr.. Furst
asked what had become of the diff
ference. The witness said he could
not account for the difference. His
liabilities are placed at 100000. His
assets consist of $500 as appraised.
The bankrupt was asked what he
did with the funds Of the Elizabeth
store. He replied that his son went
over to Elizabeth and brought the
funds back every day. The son had
been excluded from the room while
the father was testifying. Later he
was brought In and said he was
never In the Elizabeth store and had
never even seen it. The father said
he did not keep any books in the
Elizabeth store because he had
known the manager a year and
trusted him.

Shake EN- Upxor Down!

There are reformers who honestly
and sensibly go about securing need
ed reforms, and then again there are
other reformerS whose mission in life,
as they view it, is to change things
somehow, no matter how, or what the
net result in the cause OF worthy
reform may be. 1t is OF such as these
that a writer in the Congregational
list, of Boston, speaks In this language:
''And there is that host of agitators
and reformers who go out before
breakfast to find something to shake
up or shake down. Probably they
would not think life worth living IL
they had 'to sit tight and not rock
the boat. They want to be doing
something. Some of them-I do not
say all of them or many of them
want to do things which make head
lines in glare OF limelight, and II
they rock the boat until it is over
turned and the valuable cargo goes
into the water, the bigger will be the
headlines and the more limelight."
The woods are full of reformers bent
upon finding something to shape up
or down, as the Boston religious pa
per remarks. and with many of them
,!the disposition to shake up would not
be so strong were the prospect to
shake down not 30 bright. They are
no sooner through with one reform
than they are on with another, caring
nothing about sticking to one thing
long enough to see 1t work out to
practical results. even II 1T gave
promise of being practical.
Real reforms, those worth while,
don't come that way. They come
through persistence and patience,
with people OF common sense back OF
them having weighed the problems
and arrived at sane conclusions, will
ing to make the sacrifice OF time and
effort and money to accomplish the
needed things.

The Reason Why

No matter what the price induce
ments may be-
Or how loudly cut-prices are
cried, or seeming sales are
The man who buys Stoutenburgh
clothes at Stoutenburgh regular
prices Is still to the good.
Our values hold the scales down
at least So to S. better than regular
price, and that "goes" as it reads.
One man who knows clothes told
us this week a certain line of Over
coats we sell at $l8 wasn't matched
anywhere at SIS, and he had seen
the best hereabouts, New York
included.
You can count on clean-cut saw
ing of Is per cent. on Stoutenburgh
clothes as surely as you count on
your weekly envelope.
That saving is yours because you
buy directly of the maker.
This Is dollars talk, and il should inter-
est every man whose dollars look big to
him this year
We haven't mentioned fit, although this
season most mon are able TO slip on suit
or overcoat and wear IL away without a
tailor touching It.
We haven't spoken style, yet our styles
this season have been the talk of the town.

on the dollar basis today, and if you're in
earnest about adding neat saving to your

The war in Europe is proving a
big boon to postal savings liz this
country. From the very day bosIi-
lities opened across the seas postal
savings receipts began to increase by
leaps and bounds and Withdrawals
fell off, result quite contrary to
the predictions of many well.inform-
ed persons who, in tier Imagination
saw lines of feverish depositcrs at
post. office pay windows anxious to
again return their savings to the
bootleg and body belt repositories
when they came before intrusted to
Uncle Sam. But the forecasters
failed to reckon on the absolute con-
fidence of the American citizen,
regardless of the flag that first met
his eyes, in the ability and purpose
of the Government to carry out its
obligations, not only among the
nations of the earth, but with the
humblest citizen of our land. 7
Two important results have fol-
lowed; thousands of people, largely
of foreign birth, accustomed to send
their savings abroad, are now pat
rons of our postal savings system;
and enormous sums of actual ca, b
have been rele Ased for commercial
uses among our own people at a
time when the need for every avail,
able dollar is pressing.
The unexpected increase in postal,
savings business has not only added
greatly to the general administrative
duties of the system, but has brought
up many new and interes ting prob
lems which have called for the care
full personal consideration of Post
master General Burleson and Cover.
nor Dockery, Third Assistant Post.
master General. But their task
has been lighteped somewhat by
the promptness of depository banks
in furnishing additional security to
meet the abnormal deposits. A
number of the very largest banks
in the country, which have hereto
fore declined to qualify as deposit
cries for postal savings fund, are
now among the eager applicants for
