Charged with Forgery.
The warrant served on Allen charged
him with forgeries and embezzlement]
the amount of $16S,OO0. The warrant
was sworn to by United States District
Attorney George Gordon. 1t is under
stood that the amount charged In the
warrant represents about the amount
Of the shortage discovered up to the
present time. Neither Receiver Scofield
nor Bank Examiner Goodhart will con-
firm this impression, but it has given al
little more hope that the depositors in
the wrecked bank will be able to get al
most all their money.
1t is also intimated that when Allen
is arraigned, unless his bail is placed
too high, it is likely that friends will
furnish the necessary bonds. It Is pos
sible that no ball will be needed as the

Whether the other officers Of the
bank will be placed under arrest is un-
certain. District Attorney Gordon has
not made any statement Of his inten-

that he should await further investiga-

can not be charged with permitting de-
posts to be made in the bank after
they knew 1t to be insolvent as they
did not know this until the bank ex-

WEEKLY REVIEW OF TRADE
Dun's Says Orders For Rolling STOCK
Make the Weeks Feature.


R. G. Dim & Co.'S Weekly Review of
Trade says:
Renewed buying OF rolling stock by
the railroads is the CONSPICUOUS devel-
opment of the week in the iron and
steel trade. Reports indicate that or
ders are being placed with some urg-
ency, and that considerable new bust
ness is under negotiation. Activity at
steel works is reflected in continued
heavy purchases of pig iron at many
points, and further advances in price,
are announced.
Trade in dry goods shows steady
gain and the higher prices in the pri-
mary markets, forced by the sustained
high cost of raw materials, are now
quite freely paid.
