Under tlie pro visions of the bond issue, $150,000 worth of the bonds were to be retired annually. The Central Trust com pany of New York Is trustee. Two corporate changes have been made sin> - e the Incorporation "of the original firm. Greenhut and Company November 16, 1910. The lirst occur red when Greenhut and Company be came consolidated with the Siegcl- Cooper Company under the name of the Greenhut-Siegel-Cooper Company. In May of last year the lirm name j was changed to the J. B. Greenhut Company. J. B. Greenhut is president of the firm. The department stores conducted by the company, long known as the Sie- i gel-Cooper stores, occupies both I blocks on Sixth avenue between Eigh- j leenth and Nineteenth streets. Liabilities 53.513,060 Assets of the store are listed in the complaint at $7,465,419 including merchandise, cash and accounts re ceivable. The liabilities, it is stated, aggregate 513,060, not including the mortgage liabilities amounting to ap proximately $2,950,000. J. B. Greenhut, president of the firm. Is treasurer of the Monmouth Securi ties Company, upon whose application the receivers were appointed. The suit is based upon indebtedness of ap proximately $200,000 alleged to be due the securities company and represent ing money loaned the Greenhut com pany. In connection with its department sttfres. the J. B. Greenhut Company conducted a private bank for the con venience of its customers. In De cember last, however, the fir gave no tice that it intended to withdraw from the banking business and that no interest on deposits would be paid after January 1, 1915. The date fixed by the firm for its withdrawal from the banking business was March 1. This gave the depositors two months' notice and it is believed that all avail ed themselves of it to withdraw their savings. Say Liabilities Are Higher A few moments after the appoint- I ment of the receivers, an Involuntary petition In bankrupt cy was filed against the company by three creditors with claims aggregating $3,000. In their petition these creditors alleged that the assets of the Greenhut Com pany, exclusive of real estate, do not exceed $6,000,000 and that its liabili ties, mostly old debts, aggregate ap proximately $12,000,000. Benjamin G. Paskus, of counsel for the J. B. Greenhut Company asserted that the liabilities were about $3,500,- 000 and assets about $7,000,000. Of the latter, he said, there were about $4,000,000 in quick assets so called and $3,000,000 in fixtures and stable equipment. There are two mortgages on real estate owned by the firm, according to . the petition. On of the mortgages - is for $1,200,000, and the other for i $1,750,000. These mortgages, Mr. Pas- J kus said, are offset by bonds, some of which are held In Europe. Current liabilities, Mr. Paskus asserted, would be offset by the merchandise and out standing accounts. Without question the business will be reorganized. Mr. Paskus asserted, i Officers of the J. B. Greenhut Com- ( pany are Joseph B. Greenhut, presi dent; Charles A. Cooper, vice presi dent; Benedict J. Greenhut, treasurer, and Nelson W. Greenhut, secretary, i all of whom are directors. The addi- | tional directors are Jerome Siefjel, Benjamin 1-lillman, Nathaniel Menken, * Eli Wolfner and Jacob G. Cohen. 1 Adverse business conditions during the past year and inability of the firms I to meet immediately pressing obli- I gations were assigned as reasons for t seeking a receivership. The suit was < brought by the Monmouth Securities t Company, in which J. B. Greenhut was an officer, and was based upon a ] claim for about $200,000 loaned the Greenhut firm. <;HUMANS GET 5,510 GINS By Associated Press Berlin, April 9, by wireless to Say- l ville.—According to an official list ] made in Berlin to-day, there were in i 1 Germany March 1 a total of 5,510 j t pieces of captured artillery.

CARDEN Admiral S. H. Carden, British com mander of the fleet which has been off the Dandanclles since the war began, has suddenly come into lame by his successful bomgardment of the forts of the Dardanelles. He was placed in command of the allied fleets because he was the senior officer there. Just as soon as the great new superdreadnaught of the. British navy, the Queen Elizabeth, reached the scene with her llfteen-inch guns, which shoot more than twelve miles, the attempt to take the Dardanelles was be gun In earnest. I The great vessel was sent against the forts at the mouth and after (an attack of three days five of them were silenced. Trailing along with tlie Queen Elizabeth, the remainder of the British and French fleet went 011 up the straits. Fort after fort, whose guns fell short of the range of those of the Queen Klizabeth, was smashed by her new weapons. Now the work of taking all the forts in the straits clear to the Bos porus nnd Constantinople is a mere matter of hard work, British naval ex- I perts say. In less than three weeks, according to their prediction, Constan tinople'will have fallen. Of course. Admiral Carden will get the major part of the credit for doing what would have been Impossible without immense 1 modern irlitia. Local Men Lose Money Through Failure of Big Brokerage Firm in N. J.
