SENSATIONAL TURN
In Affairs Of Bankrupt Chicago Com
mission House.


Chicago, June 29.-Affairs of the
bankrupt commission firm of Knight,
Donnelley & Co. took q sensational
turn when threats were made of o
grand jury investigation and criminal
proceedings against the firm and its
members. Charges are being made
more or less openly in La Sale strest
that funds and trades were accepted
by the firm after it was known by its
members to be insolvent. II is charg-
ed also, though in less definite form
that the firm or some of its members
speculated with the funds of custom
ers whose accounts II was Carrying,
and that serious losses In this direc-
tion were the direct cause Of the fail
ure.
The principal threats Of criminal
action come from Robert Minnehan, a
member of the Chicago Stock Ex-
change and floor trader on the ex-
change. Minnehan claims to have
had q large account with the firm, al
most entirely in Chicago subway
stock. He claims to have opened the
account with the firm, depositing $780,
600 in cash and securities as collater'
al for the loans necessary to carry
the stocks. Minnehan insists that
the firm was in difficulties at the
time the account was opened and his
trades and funds accepted, and that
this condition was known to the mem.
bers of the firm.

Moses September Sale.

w. B. Moses & Sons have made ii a fea-
ture of their business TO hold September
sales, that embrace furniture, carpets, rugs,
curtains-in fact, of everything that goes
toward making the home beautiful. While
the house has been established nearly half
century, these sales We're only inaugu-
rated eleven years ago, and 1t has been the
ambition of the heads of each department
to make each seasons sale the peer of
that of the last season. Such an accom-
plishment is promised this year il the first
days record can be accepted as criterion.
1t exceeded in business the sale of last
September by q per cent.
Messrs. Moses & Sons make their Sep
TENDER sales features by preparing for
them, even to the extent of buying up full
factory and mill stocks of goods, and in
one notable instance practically employing
and supporting one factory in its dull sea-
son to make up goods, the consideration OF
that contract being that the price was to
Just cover cost of production. Many sam
pie lines of goods from the August furni-
ture exhibits of both eastern and western
manufacturers were bought up at the close
of the exhibits. Many quantity contracts
were made in order to get a low cost.
Moses & Sons claim that they are show
ing the largest and most attractively va
ried stock of furniture and floor coverings
that can be seen anywhere in the country.
