SHADOW OF SUICIDE
IS SUSPENDED OVER
H. H. ROGERS ESTATE
Brokers of Oil Magnate's Confidential
Clerk, C. IL spier, Self-slayer'
Secure Permit to Sue Mill
Iionaire's Executors

NEW YORK, Feb. 9.-The shadow
of Charles L. Spier, who was hehIy n
Rogers confidential man before Spler
became involved in stock deals ana
committed suicide is hanging over the
Rogers estate. That was revealed
when Supreme Court Justice Hendrlck
signed an order permitting heecll'
Loew & Co., who were Spler's prokers,
to sue the executors of the Stanoaru
Oil mans estate for $64,6O4.S4, the VaIue
of the brokers' interest In certain
bonds.
Keech. Loew & Co. assert the bonds
were in their possession at the time Oh
Spiers death, but were immedlately
seized by Rogers as his own when the
facts of Spier's death became known
The brokers allege that when Spler
was dealing in stocks through them
he pledged as collateral bonds valued
at s14O,0OO They contend that they
were entitled to the bonds which Rog-
ers seized.
The suit reveals a new chapter IN
the history of the wild plunges that
Spier took in Wall street in a desper-
ate effort to recoup his fortunes just
before he forged the name of his life
long friend. Alfred Lauterbach, to two
checks aggregating $4,000. The fig
ures which the brokers made part OF
their complaint set forth that in Spier's
last two plunges in copper he made
500 O0O But that did not suffice to
make up his heavy losses and save nm
from disgrace. The result was that he
shot himself in his Staten Island home
May T. 1906.
The papers revealed that Spier and
his wife, Mrs. Dot Williams Spler'
opened a Joint account with the pro
kers and carried on stock transactions
ON a large scale. At one time the
Sniers were indebted to the brokers TO
tbe extent Of $217,S 1896. Before Spier
killed himself he bought through the
brokers a block of Anaconda Copper
for S75. 800 and sold the securities FOR
S132. .2O4 1t was also revealed that ne
realized a profit of $4,000 on another
deal in copper.
ON learning of his tragic death, how
ever. the brokers sold out his account.
Now they say he owed them balance
of $64,6O4. When Spier and his wife
bought the copper stock, the brokers
aIlege, he deposited with them 100
bonds Of the Seacoast Traction com
many and eighty bonds of the Asbury
park and Sea Girt Railroad company.
These bonds, it appears, belonged to
Rogers. but were taken from his office
nv Spier and used as collateral with
the brokers. The brokers contend they
were entitled to a lien on the bonds
because they acted in good faith in the
transactions.
How the bonds got back to Rogers
office after Spier's suicide is not eX-
plained. and the lawyers would throw
no light on that end of the story.

SANTA ANA GROWERS SHIP
OVER 100000 IN WALNUTS
Association Report Shows Excellent
Grade Established is
Maintained

SANTA ANA. Feb. 9.-The Santa Ana
Valley Walnut Growers association has is
sued report through its secretary A. T.
Tiede, in which it Is shown that the as
sociation shipped during the past season s2o
tons of walnuts, for which 1t received over
$500, 900. This is the best showing yet
made by the association. and is especially
astonishing when it is considered that many
of the walnut growers of the valley shipped
through the Richland Walnut Growers as
sociation formed this year at Orange.
Not only has the association done big
business but by system OF close inspec-
tion has maintained a grade OF excellence
that had already been established for the
Santa Ana brand of walnuts. 1t has also
materially reduced the cost of handling,
making a saving of s1.45 per ton, the cost
being 1915 per ton as against last season s
price of $500 ton.
