WABASH RENSURES
ALL HAMMOND RISKS
Continued from First Page.
Too Much Publicity.

Said Mr.. Grey this morning, If
the attorney general should wire me
this afternoon that our present or
ganization was perfect I would not
continue under the present charter;
after the company has received such
notoriety all over the country"
The local stockholders are very
much disturbed about the publicity
that has been given their names as
stockholders in the concern. One Of
them, although he was the treasurer,
admits that he knows nothing about
insurance business.
The affairs of the Wabash are now
placed in the hands of a committee
which will wind up the eompany's
business. Then, If possible, the re-
organization will be made under the
general laws IN that event the old
charter will be for sale and somebody
else will likely then follow the foot
steps of the Wabash.
