DEPLORES HOLDING UP
OF CHELSEA BANK DIV.

ANN ARBOR, Mich. May Speak
ing OF the holding up Of the Chelsea
Savings bank dividend the News says:
THE contention OF the bonding COM
panies Is that the state is prefer
red creditor. but It does seem as If In
view OF Bank Commissioner Moore's
failure TO check the wrongdoing when
discovered two years ago and possibly
because OF the negligence OF other
state officers, the state has mighty lit
tie to claim in the way OF preference.
The action OF the bonding companies
Is deplorable. II is cold-blooded. In
fact. and 1t is hoped by. all classes
here that the efforts they are making
will fail OF success In the courts. The
80 per cent dividend which Receiver
wedemeyer would have paid but for
the action of the bonding companies
would have distributed approximately
$500. 900.

In regard to the overflow meeting,
It was a grand success. and can
truthfully say It far surpassed any
meeting OF its kind in Weston for
many years. The only disturbance
created was through the efforts of a
few of our peace-lovinE Democrats.
who actually hired the small boys

be sustantiated. Their behavior
did not serve its purpose. but instead
It aroused the Indignation of all cit

expressed themselves openly that
they would not support a candidate

Burke ATTEMPTED 70 Black
mail Candidate for the
Vice Presidency

UTICA. N. ". Oct 2S-Before leav-
ing here TO resume his speaking tour
thorough the state, James s. shef-
man, Republican vice presidential
candidate, gave out q statement Gsse. =.
ing with the charges made public 90
the eRect that Mr.. Sherman had been
involved In an attempted deal in gov
aernment timber lands in New MeHl-
CO. with one Edmund Burke, ana
others, the company which they nao
formed seeking to obtain possession
through sharp practice. at q low hg-
ure, millions of acres OF valuable
timber. Mr.. Shernan's statement Is
as follows:
my attention has been called to
"A aensational article In the New orlI
World, making charges against me IN
connection with the New Mexico
Lumber and Development Company
a corporation which has not been
in existence for some years. a care
fIII investigation shows SO far as 1
am. concerned. the charges has no
substance whatever. and as to my
connection wit hthe enterprise the
fullest possible investigation ana
publicity are courted.
The fact about 1t Is briefly that
some years dnce Mr.. Burke presents
ed a business proposition involving
the purchase of timeber lands
in New Mexico, which were NOT
United States property and the con-
strucion of a railroad. There were
ten gentlemen, 1 think, who gave $6oV
each to form a company and tnYeSu-
gate the project. Experts were en-
ployed to inspect the property. Some
of US visited the lands, SO there was
no secret about It, and Ion the other
hand, the local papers had much to
say of 1t at the time.
after looking into the matter
carefully and at length 1t was de-
cided that the lands available would
not yield profit on the railroad con-
structfon and development. The plan
was abandoned, the company dissolV-
ed, about half the sum invested was
paid back to each of us. and our
prospective connection with the en-
terprise was ended.
Not one foot of land or one dol
lars worth, of, United States property
was concerned with 1t in any way.
There was no secrecy about 1t and no
need for any. never urged the pas
sage of any such bill as is referred to,
and che World article does not say
that 1 did What Mr.. Burke or any
one else did, before or after our in
vestfgation OF the proposition, do
NOT know, and If he or anybody else
attempted any bribery business 1t was
without the knowledge, consent or APP
prevail of myself or any of my assoc
ciates in the enterprise. The whole
thing was private enterprise which
as business men we investigated and
turned down. half dozen years ago
EFT may be of interest in this con-
nection TO say that later Mr.. Burke
wrote me saying that he was being
pressed to make statements which
would be calculated injure me and
asked me to see him in Chicago on a
date when I was billed to speak
there. That letter was not even ac-
knowiedged, because had nothing to
pay or promise to prevent the dis
closure Of of any public or private act
of mine. II he has found a market
for the wares, the incident must go
along with what I suppose is to be
expected in the last week of cam
paign." n
