According to Editor E. H. Wells’ tement, none of the Sun's big stockholders put up money for their stock, conse quently they are now lable to the creditors for the par value of any Stock certificates issued in their names, This means that Lawrence Col- man, Thomas Lippy, R, H. Thom- son and Harry Treat, all wealthy backers of the paper, will now have to pay for their stock its face value, and as they have stock certificates of nearly $100,000, it indicates that fhe creditors may come out bgtter than expected.

Hartman, who was Wells’ original partner in the ven ture, and who recently filed a bank ruptey petition, did not invest more than $10,000 actual cash in the Sun, says Wells, R, H, Thomson invested the larg- est amount, his total loans and in vestments being between $36,000 and $40,000, During the past few months, says Wells, the paper had to pay in- terest bills aggregating $1,200 monthly on borrowed money, and PANS CONGRESSMEN SAN ANTONIO, Tex., Dec, 30. ter speech delivered on the floor of the house Tuesday, Representa: tive Humphrey of Washington as- sailed Congressmen Fitzgerald and Mann for their attitude concerning Thursday Only!
