THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, WEDNESDAY, MAY 12, 1897 DRCED 10 SUSPEND BUSINESS Announcement of the Fail- ure of Williams, Brown & Co. LIABILITIES ESTIMATED AT $420,000. Most of the Heaviest Creditors of the Firm Fully Secured. THE SOLE PROPRIETOR OF THE BUSINESS ABSENT. Left With His Family on a Trip to Australia Abcut Two Months Ago. Williams, Brown & Co., commission merchants of 308 Market street, have gone to the wall, owing their creditors consid- erably over §400,000. Most of this is fully secured, but a large portion of the liabili- ties was incurred on the simple credit of the firm. The firm was established early in 1889, and then comprisea H. A. Williams, the son of the well-known banker and presi- dent of the California Safe Deposit Com- pany; Willlam Brown, son ot Thomas Brown, the cashier of the Bank of Calitor- nia; W. M. Brison and F. A. Pasmore. The last named gentleman withdrew about & year after the firm was launched, Brison severed his connection about three years azo and Brown died about six vears ago, at which time Williams bought the inter- est of the deceased and thus became the sole proprietor of the business. The office of the firm was formerly at 116 California street. All the salmon pack ot Alaska and of the Columbia River was virtually con- trolled by the embarrassed firm, which also operuted largeiy in dried and canned fruiis of California production, in raisins and in grocers’ supplies. The latter arti- cles were handled as agents for Eastern manufacturers. The firm ‘found iis mar- kets in Australia, Japan, England and the larger Eastern cities of the United States. Of late Mr. Wilhams has also handled n and flour for consignees in Aus- Among the connections of the firm were the following: Alaska Packers’ Associa- tion of San Frar ishermen’s Pack- ing Association of . ; North Pa- citic_Packing and Trading Company of n Francisco, Alasks talmon Company, kmott Canning Company oi Oakland, Nelson Canning Company of Biggs, Boui- din Islana Asparsgus Canning Company, Shamell Packing Company of San Fran- cisco, Western Starch Association of Chi- cago, Bensdorp Royal Dutch Cocoa Com- pany of Amsterdam, Neuchatel Asphalt Compeny of Switzerland; Benjamin Brooks & Co. of Philadelphia, maou- facturers of soaps; William G. Moehning & Co.of New York, snd Delafield, Mc- Govern & Co. of New York. In its earlier history the firm conducted the Williams- Brown Fruit Company, handling raisins and dried fruits, with agencies at Fresno, Sanger, Hanford, Selma and Davisville. W.lliams, who 1s now the only member of the firm, left here for Australia on March 7, with his wife and three children, on what was understood to be a com- binea business and pleasure trip. He 1s expected back by A. F. Thane, his confi- dential clerk ana manager, who holds his power of attorney, some time in June. The failure was precipitated by the pre- sentation on last Saturday of a draft by one of the local banks, and Mr. Thane was unsbie to raise the money (0 meet the paper. Realizing that it was impossible for him to conduct the business any longer without more Teady money, he noufied the creditors of the firm in this City on Monday and called a meetin gfor 4 o'clock yesterday. At this meeting Mr. Thane presented a statement of the affairs of the firm, and a committee of four was at once appointed to investigate as to the correctness of the statement and to report on some plan of action to be taken in the future by the creditors. The committee consisis “of D. Drysdale of the Alaska Packers’ Association, A. Powell of the Bank of British: Columbia, D. E. Bowles of the First National Bank of Oakland and 8. Prentice Smith of the Bank of Cali- fornia. Mr. Smith is chairman of the committee and bascalled a meeting of the committee for Saturday at the Bank of California. In the statement submitted by Mr. Thane the unpiedged assets of Williams are given as being about $200,000, but it is acknowledged that this is simply their nominal value, and that they will not realize more than half thatamount. They co! t of goods in warehouse, bills re- ceivable and outstanding accounts. The liabilities are reported in this state- ment to aggregate about $420,000. Those secured are as follow. Fi National Bank of Oakland, 000; Alaska Packers’ Association, $86,000; Delatield, McGovern & Co., New York, $24,000; U. H. Dudley & ., New York, 00; miscellaneous, $9000; Comptoir d’Escompte of Paris, $76,300. The partially secured liabilities are as follows: Bank of California, $93,750; Bank of British Columbia, $56,300; mis- cellaneous, $41,000. In speaking of the unpleasant position in which be has been placed by the ab- sen ce of his principal at this critical time, Mr. Thane said that he became aware of the fact that the irm was in a tight posi- tion shortly after he was left in charge of the affairs of the firm by the departure of Mr. Williams. He further stated that the embarrassment of Mr. Williams was not due 10 any recent losses sustained in bus- ness, as the masin volume of trade was with Australia for some time past, and this business had always been a very profitable one. He declared that the trouble was brought about by losses that were incurred two Or three years agoin handling dried fruit and raisins, and that the interest that had to be paid by Wil- liams in order to keep himself afloat since that time was what “‘ate him up.’’ It was reported that the firm had been speculating in grain and flour shipments to Australia, but this Mr. Thane emphat- ically denied. Among the stories current in this connection is one to the effect that the firm lost $30,000 on a single cargo of barley that had been shipped to Australia, because the consignee and purchaser de- clined to accept it on the ground of some technical failure tc observe the charter Jerty on the part of Williams, Browa o.

Nervoso Finally Won a Race—Ber- gen First 01 Nararja—Lobsngula Scored Without Difficuity. Three favorites and three outsiders took purses at Emeryville yesterday. The offi- cials in the stand appear to relax their vigilance as the end of the season ap- proaches, and some very exhilarating ex- hibitions of saddle-work can be witnessed from day to day. The attendance con- tinues good and the betting brisk as ever. Fourteen very cheap platers started in the opening seven-furlong run, for a_$300 selling purse, and the collection of jockeys thereon was an assorted onme. Rapido, with Clawson up, was the touted good thing, but never cut much figure. Picnic, a 50 to 1 shot, made the running to the stretch, where Con Moto assumed com- mand and won cleverly from Mary Nievez, a 200 to 1 shot riaden by a lad named Kiley. McFarlane, the post favorite, fin- ished in the show. Nervoso, a 10 to 1 shot, ridden by Patsy Freeman, upset calculations by coming from the rearand capturing the five and a half furlong spin that followed in a drive from Blue Bell, the second choice. Sam Leake, backed to 7 to 2 favoritism, was third, beaten but a head by the piace horse. Decision, which raced with Blue Bell to the stretch, killed the latter’s chances of winning. Marty Bergen landed the winner of the third event, a& five and a half furlong scramble, in old time style. With the moant on Naranja, a6to 1 chance, he waited on Alma, the favorite, and Gran- dezia to the stretch, where he began swing- ing clubs and in a drive got the decision over Alma by nearly a length. Reel came up and snatched the show from Sly. Tne latter filly with any sort of a fair start would have proven an easy winner. The Hindoo horse Pepper appeared to be the real thing for the mile and a far- long run, and even if he was in receipt of a little assistance from one or two of the other starters, came home with the coin. He was played from threes down to 11 to 5, and taking the lead in the stretch won easily, over a length in front of George Paimer, the second choice. Hermanita could bave won, but finished thira. Several “‘uncorkings” occcurred in the seven-furlong run next decided. Sai tuzza was played down, Fullerton Las received backing and King William was another cutaw: Roadwarmer, the 13 to 5 choice, spoiled it all by going ont in front and, never headed, passed the wire a length in advance of King William, Old Mulberry took the show. With Piggott in the saddle Lobengula W hot favorite for the last race, at one mile and a sixieenth, and setting the pace from the outset won very handily from Peter the Second, with the 100 to 1shot Charles A securing the show. —_——— NOTESs, Sam Leake ran & corking good raca the first time out, and will take a deal of beating next time he starts. Henry Ach got aboard the *‘zood thing” San Tuzza, which failedfto lana the fifth race. Alvero was plainly the best horse in the opening event, and with any sort of a rider should have won without trovble. . Joe Murphy left for the East last even- ing. .

Flinn Indulging in Some Liti- gation Over the Property. The suit of John W. Flinn against Mrs. Evelyn: P. Ferry was tried_before a jury in Judge Hunt's court on Monday. Flinn sued for $1000 on account of some furniture and Mrs. Ferry responded by a cross-complaint, claiming $6000 -because she had been deprived of the use of the same furniture mentioned in Flinn’s ac- tion. Attorney P. F. Dunne and R. H. Coun. tryman .Fpund for the plaintiff and Attorney Frank Shay represented the de- fendant. . The difficulty grew out of the seizing of some farniture by Flinn which was in the possession of Mrs, Ferry at her house, 1107 Bush street, this City. understanding as to t! Proj erty and Flicn resolved those doubts his own favor by taking forcible - sion of the furniture. The shorm was subsequently directed to cart the goods back 10 Mrs. Ferry, and in the legal scram- ble both sides found themselves to be losers.

One of the Most Interesting Periods in the History of Christianity Portrayed. Rev. Joseph M. Gleason, who lectured on “One Man Against the World” at Metropolitan Hall last night under the auspices of Ignatian Council No. 35, Y. M. L, was greeted by a crowded house. President Philip J. Lawler of Ignatian Council, after an organ selection by Pro- fessor Harrison, made a few introductory remarks and was followed by Messrs. M. Grennan and A. Guttman in an instru- mental duet. John J. Raffael of the Tivoli gave a pleasing exhibition of his fine vocal powers and then Father Gleason was in- troduced by President Lawler as a fellow- member in the council and asa former classmate. The speaxer opened by remarking that history is studied now ina way that was never known before. “The ages long past,”” he eaid, ‘“‘wers the agesin which were laid the foundations of the modern civilization. One great result of the study of history is this: It has made men Catholic_churck is the in the history of the greatest factor world.”” History in the past, be declared, had al- ways been written with a bias and a mo- tive. It was a kind of special pleading in a certain cause. 'he church’s history is studied more than ever,” he continued. “Does the church fear the turning on of the light? Not at all.” He referred to the encyclical of Leo XIII exhorting the people to study the history of the church more than ever before in the es. Leo XIII, he said, went so to throw open the secret archives of the church to those who cared to peruse them, and added: “The churcn is to-day the same as she was in the time of the Apostle Paul. She might have changed somewhat in her out- ward appearance, but in her spirit and her rinciples she is still the same.” The edict of Consiantine was alluded to as having freed Chrisianity, permitting it to come out of the catacombs and de- velop in the lignt of the sun. This, he church, as the Emperor wished to regu- late the affairs ot the church, and this brought with it a deadly stine. “Many hypocrites entered the church,” the speaker said, “because it was favored by tbe Emperor. Kven Bishops became courtiers and time-servers, I am ashamed to say. Emperor Constantine, in 323, when he became sole ruler of the Roman world, called a convocation ot all the Catholic Bishops of the world, 300 in num- ber, to discuss the Eastern question, then the 1a0st troublesome problem that ob- truded itself on the attention of a Roman Emperor. At this grand council the offi- cial formula of the Christian relis. drawn up—the famous Nicene Creed.” After reviewing the remarkable career of Constantine, he declared that great as was Constantine, he made his mistakes. One of the greatest mistakes he made, ac- cording to Father Gleason, was in trying to dictate to the Catholic church in” de- manding the return of an exiled Bishop— Archbishop Athanas.us of Alexandria. He spoke of the trials and persecutions to which At ius, the defender of the Catholic faith, w subjected by the Arians, the enemies of the church. “Athanasius, after having been deposed from nis position, was restored by Pope Julius,” went on the speaker, ‘“‘after a trial at which he proved himself to be innocent of the cbarge of which he had been originally convicted. At the time of his trial at Rome. a synod of the eastern Bishops was called in the kingdom of Constantius, one of the sons of Constan- tine, and this synod declared that a Bishop once deposed “could never be_restored. This brought forth a polite but firm letter from Pope Julius requesting the Empsror 1o refrain from interfering with the private affairs of the church. This was the declaration of independence of the church, made in 345, and from that day to this the church has maintained that same position of freedom from civil interfer- ence, “St. Athanasius was the ‘One man against the world,” '’ he said. “‘He fought against the greatest odds the world has ever seen and won, because he had right on his side, and right will always conquer might, however powerful might may be. “‘Athanasius lived for the purity of the Catholic church and was the defender of the faith against any interference by the state with the church.” In speaking of the part the Cappadocians played in the persecutionof Athanastus, he declared they were much like the A. P. A.’s of the present day. He went somewhat into detail of the five exiles which Athanasius bas been subject to and traced his personal history unuil the time of his death in 373. “There have been scandals in the church. Who can deny it? But the very fact that the church is to-day in its primeval vigor and has survived them all is the beat proof that it is divine.” He spoke of the ninth and tenth centuries in the history of the church as being most marked with scandals, be- cause of the authority assumed by the civil powers over the church. Hilde- branat,known afterward as Gregory VII, was thebrave man who broke this power of the state over the private affairs of the church in the eleventh century. He then briefly mentioned the struggles since that time which have been waged between the state and the church in various parts of the worla, and deciared that Pope Leo XII1 is to-day a prisoner in the Vatican, and would so remain until the temporal power of the Pope was restored. This temporal power he defined as the right of the Pope to auminister the affairs of the church tbroughout the world without in- claimed, resulted in a union of state and i terference by any civii or state authority.
