FUNDS IN REMOTE BANKS
Country Bankers Gave Deposit Book for Sleek, No Checks to Be Cashed Until Companies
 Were Licensed.

St. Louis, July S.--As an aftermath of what is said to have been the weirdest exhibition of high finance in the history of St Louis, Receivers Matt l,. Reynolds and G. Lacy CraW- ford of the Continental Assurance company and the International Fire As>ura2ce ccm2auy are receiVinE A flood cf inquiries from stockhOll ig2, most oi them clamCrirg fer theu moLey back. The inquiries were wril- Jou u sa druggists and Srocers' bili- heads and posted at the remotest country towns.
 So rustic were some oi those who bought stock in the twin companies that only a few are aware as yet that both are in the hands of receivers, in the opinion of Crawford. Other stock holders. mostly bankers, are keeping quiet, says Crawford, because they do not wish their neighbors to know that they took a hier in the concerns, or played the role of decoy cattle to lure their fellows into the corral
 Judge Reynolds said that after a weeks quest for tangible cash assets of the companies. the receivers have been able to lay hands on but $1,4G9. 65. In his autobiography in the Con- gressional Directory. Congressman Harry M. COudrey, who was president of the concerns, states that their cap ital and surplus amount to $2,50Q, ,000.
 Letters Pouring In.
 "I am getting many letters of in quiry from stockholders" said Craw- forL. Tt seems that some of them are not yet aware that the Continental and International companies are in re- ceiverships. The majority of them live out in the backwoods. The in- quiries are written on soiled drug gists' and grocers' bills, and are dated from some rustic crossroads.
 "They ask with pathetic anxiety about the condition of affairs in the companies, and beg me to see that they get back dollar for dollar on what they invested"
 Crawford was asked what percent age of their investments the stock holders would recover. The receiver threw up his hands with a gesture CT hopelessness.
 The bankers who bought stock are keeping still," said one official who has been connected with the receiver ship proceedings. They don't want their negh6Ors to know the concerns are in difficulties. Most Of the bank CTS got cut-rate paices on the stock they bousht, for influential and fnan- cial reasons as the promoters put It. This meant that the bankers were to act as agents in their communities and sell the stock to their neighbors and depOsitOrs.
 Gave Deposits for Stock.
 Many of these country financiers saved their own skins by giving de posit books to the promoters in return for stock. The deposits were not to be checked against except under cer- tain conditions. These were that the companies should be licensed and writing insurance before the bankers should be called upon to pay real cash for their stock.
 But the bankers took real money sssGzs1<SsszszssspsurssaaaR

 Chicago Superintendent

Boston, July SIX. c. Snyder, SUI perintendent of the Colorado Staw Normal school at Greeley, Colo, was chosen az the candidate of the noml- nation committee for the presidency of tEa National Education association
 This ac5-Cn is usually equivalent to an elecli T, but supporters of Mrs. Ella Flags YourC, superintendent CT the Chicago UJli2 schools. assert they will make a fight or tie floor for their leader. whose name was rejected by the committee.
 K c. Snyders campaign had been conducted with great secrecy. In sec onding the nomination of Mrs. Young Albert E. Winship of BOstOn scored the men for not supporting Mrs Young. He warned them they might turn the gathering into a comic trag edy" He told them they would pull down the weak barriers against the women upon their own heads, if they persisted, and warned them the wom en teachers would organize against them. Francis c. Blair, superintend ent of instruction for the state of llli- nos, placed in nomination the name of Mrs. Young.
 Women's Work Defended.
 Then Mir. Winship who is editor Of the Journal of Education, said:
 Tt rests with the nominating com mittee whether the meeting of the National Educational association goes down into history as an educational comic-tragedy For more than fifty years the women teachers have pald the major portion of the bills of the association
 Do you wonder that a hand of men, who had scheduled themselves for the presidency, writhed in agony at what might happen if these women really began to sit at their tables. Do you wonder they have thought It worth while to be ignoble for a week in order to enjoy fame and fortune for another half century If, gentle men, you consummate her defeat Tn this committee today, the woman teachers in every city in cur country will organize against you. For they know that from their organized CO., horts in Chicago, New York and Bos- ton has come support wonderful in Its fervid strength"
 Among the candidates for the pres idency who withdrew in favor of MT Snyder were Ben Blewett of St. Louis, M. G. Brumbaugh of Philadelphia, John H. Phillips of Birmingham, Pres ident Swain of Swarthmore college, and Elmer E. Brown commissioner of education.

Before the days session Of the stock
exchange had expired the market turned
very strong and prices recovered to above
