'UNDERWARF Firm
GOES TO Wall
The Defender Manufacturing Com
pany Now Facing Bankruptcy
Action.
STOCK IS GOING DOWN
John Clahin Begins Herculean Task
of Recognizing Collapsed
Company.

New York, June 27.-An involun-
tary petition in bankruptcy was filed
here yesterday against the Defender
Manufacturing company of this city,
makers of underwear, subsidiary of
the H. B. Claflin company which
failed Thursday. Receivers in equity
proceedings were appointed at the
time of the Clafin failure, but it was
contended that the company was SOL
vent. Creditors now seek to have
it adjudged bankrupt. Counsel for
the Claflin interests, it is understood
will oppose the petition.
Members of the noteholders pro-
tective committee appointed Thurs
day to safeguard the interests of the
banks having some s30,000,000 of
Claflin paper, went into session yes
terday.
A. C. Drew, secre tary of the
merchandise creditors committee, es
timated yesterday that merchandise
creditors have claims of about 3d.
! 100000. ut is our earnest hope"
he said, "that merchandise creditors
will deposit claims with our commit
tee at the earliest moment. Imme-
diate cooperation is essential to pro-
duce satisfactory results. In view of
the public Importance of this mat
ter, this committee has consented to
represent creditors without cost to
them"
During the early trading in the
stock market there were four sales
of United Dry Goods preferred each
amounting to 100 shares. The first
was at GAN, the second at 81, the
third at 60 and the fourth at 81. At
the close of the market yesterday
the stock was quoted at IS.
The United Dry Goods companies
have stock control of the H. B. Olaf
lin company.
With assurances of cooperation
from the leading dry goods firms,
jobbing and commission houses and
the organization of merchandise
creditors and the holders of the
firms paper, John Claflin yesterday
began the task of reorganization of
the H. B. Claflin company, which
went into the hands of receivers
Thursday.
In statement giving his reasons
for the receivership, Mr.. Claflin, re-
garding possible reorganization,
said "a plan will soon be presented
which we hope will prove acceptable
to both creditors and stockholders.
The liabilities of the company are
placed at $4,000, 900, principally in
the form of commercial paper. The
assets are placed at 100000 and
in addition John Claflin, it is stated,
has pledged his personal fortune of
$1O,00O,O0O. The outstanding paper
is held by thousands of banks
throughout the United States and
so widely scattered as to prevent
financial strain in any one section.
A meeting of the creditors to be
held in about ten days will deter
mine whether the receivership will
be continued and if so on what terms
they shall be allowed to borrow to
continue the business. At this meet
ing a committee of creditors may be
selected to cooperate with the re-
ceivers.

James thereupon conceived a brill

pen. where he made a nest Of straw,
like the ones they have in the hem
