FORMER OFFICERS OF
COMPANY MAY BE SUMMONED
J. w. Brennan and 4. w. Bodine In
dicted by Federal Grand Jury
on Fraud Charge.

Two former members Of the Interna-
tional Cooperative Society Of st. Lou

fore the United States Circuit Court here

Bodine. former treasurer Of the Interna-
uonai Company
A man named KEENAN,, said TO be a bank
president in the Indian Territory, and u
young man named ShulN. who was at one
tim connected with the company, but
who is now in Mexico, are said to be the
ones who will be summoned.
KEENAN, was at one time president Of the
company, which, 1t Is charged. was a get
~rich-Quick" scheme.
Brennan n Bodine were arrested yes
terday OF indictments following an In
vestigation made by the court, into the

before the court they claimed that they
did not know they were guilty Of having
