by any particular brilliance, or pro

Mr. Edisen challenged the bankers

The latter de net display nn'y hesitancy
in doing m.
"When Mr. Edlswi speaks of estab

"and advocates the adoption of nn 'en

where they could drop the fiction, un un

Mr. Edisen's proposed financial re

it does net necessnrily fellow because a

"Resources of any kind, commodities

that It will be able te command se

that market becomes doubtful, the value

en members of the firm and their
wives te turn ever certain assets, Mr.
Leeb announced today. There will be
a hearing in New Yerk tomorrow-morning
before Alexander Gilchrist, Jr.,

"I have subpoenaed," said Mr. Leeb,
"representatives of the firms of J. E.
Caldwell & Ce., of this city: Rosen Resen
bach & Ce., also of Philadelphia ; also
members of a certain banking firm, ene
of whom was once a .high confidential
clerk in Dyer's office
"I have In mind that the entire
extent of the dealings et present nnd
former members of this firm, with
various firms, bibliophiles and art col
lectors has net yet come te light, se I
have subpoenaed nlse for this meeting
members of the Knedler Art Galleries,
nnd Brentnne's. of New Yerk. It Is
rumored thnt $300,000 worth of art
objects have been bought from these
various firms in one yndr nlene by n
former member of the Arm.
"Yesterday I examined empleyes of
Dlcr & Ce. behlnij closed doers In the
Dlcr office en Walnut street, there hav
ing been rumors current thnt members
of the office staff have been living In
houses that were actually bought with
the firm's money.
"As a matter of fact, by reason of
the recriminations thnt have passed back
nnd forth between these concerned the
receivers nnd their counsel have found
lets te investigate, nnd as a result val
uable assets may find their way into the
bankrupt estate.
"I think I can say this liabilities
will net exceed $3,250,000. If the fund
In sight Is realized. Stories that the
estate will net realize ever- three cents
en the dollar will be found te be hiahlv
imaginative. If settlements due within

may expect n dividend considerably In
