SENATOR JAMES SMITH, jr., as re-
ceiver of the United States Shipbuild-
ing Co., has made serious charge
against Mr. Chas. NJ. Schwab in bis
answer to the suit brought by the Mer-
camille Trust Co. He charges Mr..
Schwab with deliberately and fraudently
selling for 100000 property worth
at the most $4,000, 600. The whole
world seems to be "on the make, "
but certainly it would appear to most
people that men as rich as Mr.. Schwab
could afford to be square.
