Leslie M. Shaw Denies He Foisted the
Western Steel Corporation.

Seattle, Wash, Sept. l6.-Efforts OF
Leslie M. Shaw, former secretary Of the
treasury, to obtain money for the tot
tering Western Steel corporation, did
not prevent the company from going
into bankruptcy according to explana-
Itions made by the company's attorneys
here yesterday.
Mr.. Shaw's name came into the case
when the Metropolitan Trust company
Iof New York filed sworn copies of cor
lrespondence to show that he helped
James A. Moore, the Western Steel cor
Iporation's promoter, get loan of $780,
900 from the trust company.
1t is Moore's contention that the loan
of this 100000 and the action of the
trust company in calling the loan at a
critical time threw the concern into
bankruptcy, and he is suing the trust
company for 81 100000 damages.
Mr.. Shaw. according TO the papers
submitted by the trust company, got
gratis $50 shares of preferred stock with
j 900 shares of common stock "due me-"
the certified copy of his receipt says.
Shaw Denies Helping.
Philadelphia, Sept. l6-Leslie NJ Shaw
Hast night denied that he had assisted
in the promotion of the Western Steel
corporation, as alleged in affidavits filed
Saturday in Seattle, Wash. Mr. Shaw's
statement is as follows:
"The Western Steel corporation was
organized, capitalized and the bond is.
sue made before | ever heard of any
such concern. / had nothing whatever
to do with the promotion of or procur-
ling the Metropolitan loan"
After explaining his later assistance
of the company, Mr.. Shaw concluded:
l"The services ] rendered and the money
II advanced were worth many fold the
value of the stock I received had the
stock been worth par. | only received a
fraction of what was due me under the
contract"

basis in fact. They said the president
had not asked for Mr.. Murray's resigna-
tion and had no intention of doing so.

MIR. Murray was to be asked to quit

ports that President Taft was about to
ask Lawrence o. Murray, comptroller

Comptroller Murray among other ofic-
ials, as one who could back up his state
ments.
