on Curb Market at
Profit.

NEW YORK. Aug. lo,--pnsald l. Persch,
an ambitious young fiuancler., whose offices

tonight in default of $4,000 bail, and thereby
hangs a tale of tangled finance through
which somebody In Wall street nipped F.

Pefsch is specifically charged with the
larceny of $4,000, a profit obtained by the

placed with the Windsor Trust company of
this city as security for a loan of 5000
In some manner, as yet unexplained, the
stock was not held by the bank. but was
turned over to a clerk acting for Persch
and at the latter's orders thrown on the
curb market and sold for approximately
$50, 900. How Persch obtained the capital
to carry through the deal and why the
stock was relinquished by the trust COM

intimated that there were men higher up

IDEA IS RATHER GREWSOME
Baltimore Man Gives Trading Stamps Good for Funeral, Grave and
 Monument.

Trading stamps good for com plete funeral and a monument are offered by Richard Respass, founder of colony just outside Baltimore, and who has purchased 150 acres of land for cemetery adjoining the city.
 When the customer has obtained enough stamps with her dress goods, her spring bonnet, her lace shoes, her stockings and other things she buys she will be entitled to a ride in a funeral car to this cemetery, where she will be nicely buried, with a monument over her grave.
 Of course, no real live one wants to be buried, but Respass says his ex- perience is that some day people will be buried whether they like it or not, and they might as well get ready for it in an economical way.
