PER CENT. After a secret meeting of the creditors of Stahl Straub, held in their offices at Fifth and Chestnut streets, yesterday, four of the creditors said they would sell their claims against the firm for fifteen cents on the dollar. They were Louis Smith, Samuel T. Baum, T. H.
Yocum and Benjamin L. Truax. The four men were standing together when a reporter of THE TIMES asked them what they thought of the condition of affairs. Mr. Baum replied: "Well, I don't think I shall get a cent back.
In fact, I don't think anyone will. We did not begin action soon enough. Why, I would take cents on the dollar and maybe fifteen, for my claim against the firm." Will Take 15 Per Cent. The other three men expressed themselves similarly, and Mr. Yocum said he would even take ten cents on the dollar for his claim, which, he added, was not more than a few hundred dollars.
He said further that he believed every one of the creditors would their claims against the firm for fifteen cents on the dollar. One of the heaviest creditors, Frank M. Crawford, who has claims for more than $70,000, refused to say what he would sell his claims for. meeting Mr. Crawford was elected chairman.
Eighty creditors, representing claims of more than $200,000, were present. Lawyer Albertson, the firm's counsel, spoke a few words on behalf of the firm, asserting that matters would be settled as satisfactorily as possible. Straub, who was arrested on Wednesday on a warrant sworn out by Dr. W. Trau.
and who is under $5.000 bail, was present at the meeting. In reply to a question he said that the whereabouts of his partner, Gustav Stahl, were unknown to him. He was asked how much of the firm's money Stahl had taken away. He replied that he did not know whether he took any or not. $700,000 in Bad Bonds.
After considerable argument as to what should be done, the creditors decided to appoint a committee to decide on some final action. The committee appointed consists of the chairman, Mr. Crawford: Amos W. Bacon, George D. Mellon and Henry Wertheimer.
They will meet this at 10.30 o'clock. Their first business, Crawmorning, ford. will be to secure counsel to advise them. Mr. Crawford was asked if Straub would be prosecuted.
don't think he replied, "but Stahl will, if we can find him." "Where did the firm lose the money?" was asked. "They lost considerable," he replied, Seattle bonds. I understand they had 000 in those bonds, which are almost worthless." "Do you think Stahl took much money with queried the reporter. "Well, what is there left?" he answered.
