tries lively discussion has arisen as to
where will be the probable place Of

The Library of Congress has been sug-
Sested as a suitable place.
1t is the opinion of those who are
well informed that it would take "a spe-
cial act of Congress TO give the peace

gress might be willing to pass such an
act, but Congress will not be in session
when the peace conferees arrive in

If, however, the Library should be

DEATH Of GASK|LL
NOT S[LF-NURDER
Philadelphia Broker Died
From Natural Causes.
VICTIMS STUDYING METHODS
Deluded Banker Tells How He Produced
Apparently Gilt Edged Stocks to
Get Loans.

PHILADELPHIA, June 25.-Coroner
Dugan has investigated the. persistent
rumors that suicide ended the career of
Benjamin H. Gaskill a broker and
fcrger, who got 1900 from Philadel-
phia banks on fictitious securities. The
coroner found that death was from
natural causes, hastened, perhaps, by
the pace the man lived the last few
years.
Now that it is proved Gaskill went to
death peacefully. with his stupendous
frauds still undetected, deluded bankers
are trying to learn the secret of his
remarkable success in swindling.
In Difficulties Eefore.
Two leading facts came TO light. One
is that before Gasl1ill began business
in the street he had been in difficulties
with his firm He vas an adept and
not tyro when he borrowed money
from the City Trust Company on al
tered and forged securities in 1896.
--Gaskili," /" said an officer III one Of
the largest banks in the city, would
come into the bank in the middle of
the afternoon and say. Got any money!
= oh | guess about $30,G0J, l would
answer, for i knew he wouldn't want
less than that.
Then he would go down into his
inside pockets and bring out n bundle
of loose stock certificates
He would pass over such gjlt-edged
stuff as Fifth and Sixth Streets Rail
way, United Railways of New Jersey
and the li<e-stocks that are too high
priced for most brokers.
Called His Loans.
Once 1 called his loans He came
around with the money and 'cusseds
me well for il. We had to send out
after him 30 get him back TO the bank.
And, what do you think-that very loan
worked SO hard to get is part of
what were stuck on. Every certificate
in the list was crooked"
