CREDITORS ASSIST
DAY-HEATON FIRM
Wall Street Houses Free
Brokers of Responsibility
in Big Failure.
BY the Associated Press.

| NEW YORK, September 20.-Several
Wall Street brokerage houses were
reported today to have come to the
aid of the long esta blished firm of
| Day & Heaton, which is bankrupt
| through the alleged defalcations Of
George r Christian, missing treas
urer of the firm.
According to investigators of the
bankrupt business. creditor firms
through which Christian is under
stood to have speculated with the
securities of Day & Heaton clients
nave signed waivers relieving the re-
naming five members of the bank
rupt house from responsibility for
claims aggre eating several hundred
thousand dollars. The attitude of
Wall Street generally was that the
bankruptcy was brought about solely
by the peculations of a trusted off,
cial and that members of Day g.
Heaton should not be held responsible
Tor the alleged untrustworthiness of
their fellow member, the missing
treasurer.
Called "Bnn1ing Mess,
What was described as "a battling
mess confronted seven accountants
when they burrowed into the Day &
Heaton books to ferret out the exact
amount of Christians alleged defaI-
cation.
Their first estimate was that the
hrms liza bilitieS would exceed the
assets by 100000 to s1.oO0o0o, but
the accounts were SO jumbled, said
the accountants. it would be several
weeks before the exact figures could
be determined.
Most of the indebtedness was re-
ported to lie in claims of members of
the New York Stock Exchange, of
which Day & Heaton was a member
Through these other houses Chris
tian was declared to have speculated
as a market bear. using the names
and securities of Day G. Heaton clients
to gamble on his personal account.
Search Broadened.
Police, continuing today to broad
cast additional identifying informa-
ton concerning Christian as fast as
it came into their hands, concentrated
on three facts that hitherto had not
been stressed.
One was that he was accompanied
in his supposed flight from Brooklyn
by his wife and mother-in-law and
that they presumably are In hiding
with him.
Another was that he weighed ESQ
pounds, and therefore should be a

fond of mineral water. and drank of
it copiously at intervals Of an hour

only one he gave during IS years
with them-was fictitious, detectives

TIRED.
Of WATCHING
YANKS WIN

The business Of promoting in.
ternational good feeling at the
Olympic games has not made much
progress. The fans in France seem
to be very much like the fans all
the world over. They get much de.
light in an American defeat. but
there has been so little opportunity
to cheer any one except the Firms
that the crowds in the stadium have
entertained themselves by jeering
and booing the Americans.
The long reign OF the athletes Of
the United States in international
sport Is becoming monotonous TO
the Europeans. They can see no
end to 1t, and the enthusiasm to
hold the games Of 1928 in Holland
has become lukewarm. The Ameri.
cans believe that the Olympic com.
mittee will be glad to have the
next olympic meet held In this
country.
