Big New York
Broker House Fails

New York, June 27.-E. NJ. Fuller
and Company, one of the largest
brokerage houses in the New York
Consolidated Stock Exchange failed
today. Counsel for the company
which vacated its Broad Street Of
fi~ey over night and placed all its
books with a receiver, said the sus-
pension was due to the tremendous
run on consolidated exchange houses
since the first of the year and also
the widespread propaganda of various
agencies"
'As long as it was able, the firm
continued to pay out, but for the
protection of the remaining creditors,
1t was necessary to place its affairs
in the hands Of the court" said the
alWyer's statement. 1t was added that
no statements of assets or liabilities
would be made until the receiver had
gone over the books. The three pcti-
tloning creditors in the bankruptcy
action estimated liabilities at $780,
O00 against assets of s250,O0O.
Fuller and Company maintained
branch offices in Boston. Philadelphia.
Cleveland, Pittsburg, Chicago, and
Cnlontown, Pcnna. The fifty en-
ployees here had received no notice
of the plight of their employers so
all of them arrived at the office ready
TO work this morning, only to find
that everything had been taken
away during the night except { @
furniture, and that their jobs, too,
were gone.
Counsers statement said that in
mentioning propaganda as partially
responsible for the collapse, no
reference to personal attacks upon
Mr.: Fuller or any member of the firm
was intended" Not long ago Fuller
had Miss Nellie Black arrested for
annoying and threatening him." and
she was given a suspended sentence
upon conviction. Her lawyer bitterly
assalled Fullcr's character in court,
