The Investigation of Building Association
Reveals Nest of Fraud


Reveals Nest of Fraud
ST. PAUL. April 16--Investigation into the
business methods of the American Building
and Loan Association has been remitted. Bank
Examiner Kenyon, at the direction of the
Governor, has been at work on the associations
books for the past month, and his report, which
was submitted to Governor Merriam this
morning. is prolific of sensations.
1t finds that forfeited stock has been sold by
the majority of directors to their friends or
trusted employees at a nominal figure; that the
purchasers in some instances had the numer-
ical amount of certificates reduced in number
of shares, SO that no further payments would
be necessary and then borrowed from the as
sociation on the stock so reduced three-fourths
of the loan fund, enabling them thereby to get
more money from the association than was
quired to purchase the stock. As conducted in
this manner. the right of forfeiture results in
loss to the association. the original stockhold-
ers losing the entire investment. The Attorney
General has been instructed to ascertain
whether there is sufficient grounds to COM
mence suit against the company for the pur-
pose of having 1t close up its affairs, and in
case that there is, to proceed legally at once.

THEY WILL RUN.

Prtddy Agrees to Run Darrfn ii the Latter
Will Run Here.
Peter Priddy called at this office last evening
and stated that he has received the articles of
agreement from Darrin and signed them, with
the provIso that the race take place in Pitts
burg on Decoration Day.
Priddy has forwarded a forfeit of $3.50 to tho
Sporting Times. New York. the amount neces-
sary to cover Darrin's forfeit. Priddy agrees
to run for 81 900 side and will allow the Sport
ing T mes to be stakeholder, but insists that
the referee be a resident of Allegheny county.
Darrin may agree to this; he cannot well re-
fuse.
II seems certain that these two distance run
ners will come together, and If they do, proba-
bly, one of the best races ever seen in West
ern Pennsylvania will be witnessed. Darrin
has made an international reputation. and
Prddy has already defeated everybody in
America who has tackled him at three miles.
At any rate, it is safe to say that If these two
men can come to terms and run race of three
miles the winner will be ready to run any other
man in the world.
