A search was immediately started, but the youngster was nowhere to be found and up to an early hour this morning anxious mother and her friends were vainly seeking for the lost child. It could not be imagined where the young boy could have gone to and relatives were in Norwich Fri- day evening to see if any trace of him had been discovered here. The police too were notified, but they were un- able to the slightest clue. The Fowler place is located close to the road and it was thought that the boy might have been playing their by him- #elf and that somebody might have ought he was lost and taken him to Norwich in an automobile.

It was there was no intention on the part of the creditors, at least, to institute criminal proceedings against the offi- cers of the company. Before its spectacular collapse last vear, soon af ts shares had been ruled off the Chicago stock exchange, the McCrum-Howell company was { known as the largest manufacturer of vacuum cleaners. The company also g tured the Richmond line of s , boilers, and enamel ware, but in recent years it had devoted most of its resources to developing i s. It had 7 per cent. preferred stock, which was sold with 1 bonus of common stock, and a like amount of common. The company paid dividends on both the time of the receivershi Tt 18 undebatodl, diat dhb bankers | who are work out a plan of re- { organization agree that the busimess | can be carried on profitably after an adjustment of its indebtedness and the supplying of new working capital. Statement from Creditors’ Committee The statement was made in behalf | of the creditors’ committee: The creditors’ committee, since its appointment last April, has been in constant touch with the receivers and | has received the reports of the ac- countants and also the reports of engi- neers retained by the receivers. The condition of the company was found to be distressing, but the reports of the engineers and others disclosed that the business has an earning ca- pacity. The committee has carefully | considered the matter from every point of view and has unanimously de- cided upon a plan of organization that has been agreed to by the committee representing the stockholders. The committee recognized the necessity of new working capital in order that the | new company be enabled to carry on its business., The proposed plan pro- vides for such new capital, and is as follows: A new corporation will he | formed with an authorized capltal of $1,600,000 preferred and $3,000,000 common stock; $875,000 of the pre- | terred stock will be sold for cash to | provide working capital, ! Debt of $2,000,000. creditors will receive 23 r The cent. of the amount of their claims in preferred stock and 75 per cent. of the claims in common stock. The total amount of the debt of the company is about $2,000,000. Creditors and stock- holders will be offered the first oppor- tunity to purchase the new preferred stock in proportion to the amounts of their claims and present holdings of stock. The new preferred stock to be sold will carry with it a bonus of common stock of the new company. Holders of notes of the McCrum-How- ell company, in addition to the above securities, will be entiled to hold and enforce their claim against the indi- vidual indorsers upon the notes. The creditors’ committee has arranged with new interests to purchase the preferred stock not subscribed for by creditors and stockholders. The committee is endeavoring to make arrangements by which an offer of a definite sum in cash will be made to credltors who do not desire to accept the new securi- ties, While the committee has de- termined upon the foregoing plan, the detalls have not yet been completed, but it I8 hoped that the final plan may | be submitted to the creditors within a | short time { | Report of Receivers. | The preliminary report of the re- | celvers, Kdward R. Stettinius and Wil- liam H. Woodin, which was filed last | April, showed actual labilities exclus- | ive of the $7,000,000 of stock, $54,000 of contingent lfabilities, and the dis- puted claims of $2, 5770 9, or only $86,000 dess thun the totul assets, ex- clusive of patents and good will. This | report, which was made by Gunn, Richards & Co,, was In such contrast to the previous statements of the com- pany's condition as made by account- ants pald by the McCrum-Howell Co, s to lead to the convictlon that the company’s books had been juggled. Mr. Stettinlus gave out the follow- ing statement yesterday ‘In addition to their examination of the books and accounts, the receivers In the interest of both creditors stockhelders, have been engaged in examining and considering the ques- tion of the earning power of the cor- poration so as to ascertain whether there was a substantial basis for re- organization; they have communicated {the results of their investigation to the committees of stockholders and creditors, and as a result a plan of re- organization is being considered and will no doubt be lald before every creditor and stockholder at an early date.
