Declare Assets Shrunk
Attorney Says Proceedings
Did Not Explain Sums
Disbursed Before Failure

A group Of creditors OF the bank
rnpt firm Of Mosher & Wallace, stock
brokers at 33 Broadway and 80 East
Forty Street, are threatening,
it was learned yesterday, to petition
the Federal Court for the removal OF
the trustee in bankruptcy, Louis B.
Wchle, Of Ill Broadway, for whom
Saul S. Myers, 60 Wall Street, is at
torney. Mosher & Wallace failed on
February 81 for about 100000. There
are 750 creditors, and the assets are
said to be $4,000, which represents
shrinkage, it is declared, of $4,000
in the value of certain securities since
the receiver took charge in May.
These creditors, who heve elected I.
Fl. Bernhard chairman Of their COM
mittee and who are known as group
No. /, charge that the trustee has
filed no proper report as to the as
sets of the bankrupt concern, that the
winding up of its affairs has been un-
warrantably delayed and that the cred
itors can get no satisfactory expIana-
tion Of the present status Of the matter

that on the books of the concern was

account in the name Of Thorson at the
Fourth Avenue branch Of the Corn Ex-
change Bank, in neither of which Thor
son, according to his own testimony,
was actually interested. Thorson de-
MED that he ever bought or sold
share Of stock through Mosher &
Wallace, and also testified that he had
permitted the use of his name in the
bank account simply to obliee his

said, signed up whole checkbook full
of checks, gave it to Wallace and paid
no more attention to the account. He
was much surprised, he said, to find
that more than 100000 had passed
through it.

Held I'm GS0(1 Rail

An echo Of tho Cropsey decision gov

supervisors, and the subsequent dis
position Of civic funds Of such origin,
was heard in the Bridge Plaza Court,
Brooklyn, yesterday, when David Smith,
Of 118 Hopkins Street, Brooklyn, who
has produce stand in the Delmonico
Public Market, Williams sburg, was
charged with disorderly conduct by
Thomas Byrnes, a market supervisor.
Byrnes told Magistrate Short that
Smith had refused TO pay him dollar
as his weekly fee for HIS market space,
and had backed his refusal with the
argument that Judge Cropsey's deci-
sion made such payment unnecessar".
Congressman Lester Volk repre-
sented Smith. Assistant Corporation
Jonah Goldstein appeared for the city.
Magistrate Short said he would render

understood there were about S170, 900
in assets. Saul Myers, representing the
receiver, had urged so per cent basis.
There was long contest, during which,
Mr. Bernhard said, Myers had seemed
TO block all efforts at consolidating
the creditors, but finally Mr.. Bernhard
said he agreed to the 80 per cent
proposition and succeeded In getting
400 of the creditors to accept It also.
This was last June.
Then Mr.. Myers, Mr.. Bernhard said,
reversed his former position and re-
fused to agree to this, saying that he
felt there would not be so per cent to
settle with after all, as various recla-
nation claims probably would cut

Violet Louise, of the "As You Were"

teen and new to the stage. When

part in Gertrude Hoffmann's revue

her that he chose her for her wealth
Of brown hair.
Dazzled with the promise Of forty
week contract at $3.50 week, Violet
walked out of the office, promising to
be back in an hour to sign the con-
tract. She came, but the contract has
not been signed up to the time Of
this writing. For Violet thought to
herself: "An ingenue part! Bobbed
h~ir's the thing for that. always
wanted it, anyway" SO she ran around
the corner to be clipped and marcelled,
and when she came back she was burst
ing with pride and excitement.

She quickly recovered her S3O-a-week
job in the "As You We're chorus. but
life doesn't look quite the same to
Violet since she bobbed her hair.
AS soon as Violets story became
known an order was issued to all man
ayers of Shubert vaudeville that
bobbed heads are forbidden in their
production. There will be no variance
of this rule. It applies equally to star
and chorus girl.
"This ruling is In behalf of pull

Of long skirts, long hair, artistically
arranged, is essential. 1t serves as q
beautiful frame to face, while short
