Creditors of the bankrupt brokerage firm of Chandler nrothers&Oe. rriet to day in the office of Jehn M. Hill, referee, and voted upon the proposal of E. 8. Lit tle, New Yerk member of the firm, that he pay ever Jn cash $.125,000 ni his share of the firm's indebtedness. Indications nre that the proposal wilt lie ncccpted. although the etlng will net be con cluded for several dej 9. The total payments by Sir. Little may total nearly &400.AO0 under the plan, accerdlns te J. Heward Itebcr. attorney for the trustee. The largest creditor se far voting against the pkn Is Hnrrv Sinclair, an oil man, who Is owed $700,000. "Mr. Little has proposed a composi tion of claims against him of 5325,000," wild Mr. Hill. "That means n profit for the creditors, no matter hew much of that amount Is obtained. He prom prem ises te pay .$10,000 before Mnrch Ifi. similar sums June 15 nnd September 15, and $20,000 December 15, nnd each three months therenfter tthtll the sum is paid. If he pays part, nnd de faults en the balance, what he tins paid in belongs te the creditors, nlid he Is net released from lib civil obligation. Fer creditors te vete they must have filed pioef of claim." Proposal Is Unique The situation wns then explained by Mr. Itebcr, in response te questions from the dozen or mere creditors pres ent nt the meeting. "This is unique in the history of bankruptcy law," he said. "I de net think such nn offer under the circum stances lias ever been made before. "Ordinarily, under the law, if he pays the nmeunt he efTcrs, he then gets back nil the assets of the bankrupt estate. In this ense Mr. Little permits te rcmnln In the bnnkrupt cstnte all the nsscts of bis partners nnd his individual assets, te go te the creditors. In ndditlen, he will enrn or get in the future S.123,000 and hand It ever te the creditors. "All he asks is that lie be individually released from any further liability en claims proved against the bankrupt cs tnte. lie offers this, believing he can de it. If he cannot, and falls down, and only nn.vs SlfiO.000. sav. he is net discharged from liability, but we nre $150,000 te the geed. There is no way of losing, and we hope te wlri. About $400,000 Assets "nis individual nsscts include a $05,000 mortgage en the home in Leng Islnnd that stands in the name of his seu. I think thnt mortgage is geed. I think we will get in addition the value of the mortgage, or $05,000. se if it works out, we win rcccive close onto $400,000 from Mr. Little, which we would net receive otherwise. As n mnt ter of fact, Mr. Little has told me he wilt net wait, but will begin sending $2000 n week in advance. It is of the utmost Importance that nil who knew of this matter sign up, for it n proet of claim Is tiled and net voted it counts 'nay.' I bae 350 cred itors whom I represent, who vete 'ycaV " Spencer Ervln, nn attorney repre senting Anten Torclle, u claimant te the extent of $1185, nsked why Mr. Little hnd made this offer. "He said te me," bnld Mr. Itebcr, "that In his conduct of the New Yerk of fie he had been n feel, and inconsequence lets of money had been lest, und it was up te them nil te help make it right, lie said he wants te de us much as he can. He has lurge earning enpneity. T I nxca tuc amount nt .fa.uuu ami told him I thought thnt would be about right." "It's n very decent proposal," re marked Ervin.

That one was a Chemical Bank Nete "as geed as geld", as the suspicious payee remarked. The chances arc that that particular note was engraved en Crane's paper. At least an old day book says that the Chemical Bank was buying Crane's Bank Nete paper about that time. Of course it was the words "Chemical Bank" engraved en the paper that made it geed as geld, but surely Crane's paper shines with a sort of reflected glow since it was the paper chosen by the bank whose notes were as geed as geld. 100 selected new rag stec 120 years' experience Banknotes 022 countries Paper money 0438,000,000 people Government bends of 18 nations Crane's BUSINESS PAPERS Return Engagement Anna Maud Hallam AMI Alfaretta Hallam Witherspoon Auditorium Juniper nnd Walnut Strccta iim.inmm, Saturday, January 28th 3:00 P.
