would be far below the figure which
represents the sums which have
disappeared. A dozen houses and
d score Of yachts could have been
maintained with the funds which
went to him and then vanished. A
new development wasrelated by the

the bin Of lading TO the banking

his father in settling with th'
bankers, and they are now fully
protected against loss.

If Eastern lines are crowded with
loaded cars marked for transfer
Western roads refused to allow any
more of their equipment to go East.
Chicago and Eastern connections
are unable to provide cars enough
to make the necessary transfer. II
