Wanted Grant Company Bonds.

After the negotiations had proceeded
Kutzleb, according TO the complaint,
proposed that the Keystone Materials
! Company would take over the Grant
Brick Company, buy all its bonds and
all OF it's stock for $4,000 cash, $l7J.-
600 preferred stock and 100000 Of the
common stock Of the Keystone Com

arrange with the bondholdcrs OF the
Grant company for the sale Of their
holdings.
Mr.. kutzleb said, continues
Mearns, that II. b. Hollns e. Co. had
gone into the proposed business be-
cause of its intrinsic merit; that every
cent requisite for the carrying out of
the plan had been provided; that the
plan would require for payments and
working capital more than 100000
| that that amount had been pro-
vided and was ready and in cash in
/ the hands of II. Il. Hollins q Co, and
( that said firm was prepared 10 finance
| the plan up TO the extent Of 81, JOO,OOO."
On that representation Mearns says
he arranged with the holders Of the
| Grant company's securities and OBJ
tanned their consents. He adds that
similar representations were made to
James +. Gibson, of the Keystone
Plaster Company, and an agreement
was reached whereby the Keystone
Materials Company would be formed
of the three properties, and for
Mearnss services he was to receive
IAN amount Of common stock"

that the representations which ! have
stated were made to me by Mr.. Kutzleb
and confirmed by Mr.. Dickinson were
false and untrue; that II. Il. Hollns d
Co. had not raised the money required
by the plan outlined by Mr.. Kutzleb;
that the said moneys had not been pro-
vided; that they were not in the pos
session or under the control Of II. b.
Hollins & Co.; that II. b. Holins &
Co. were not prepared TO finance the
proposed combination to the extent OF

The company maintained an office at
No. 116 West sd street. Soon after
RI. b. Hollins G. Co. failed the company
admitted even its inability TO pay its
bankruptcy.
1t is In the attempted acquisition OF
the Grant Brick Company, of Brooklyn,
that Mearns finds cause for his action,
according to the complaint. This COM
pany was large manufacturer OF
silica" brick, with a plant at the foot
of Bay 41th street, Brooklyn, and with
valuable waterfront property. The
company had outstanding 100000 of
first mortgage bonds. of which Fergus
Reid held $24T. 900. The stock was
held by Major Grant and other Brook
Ign investors. Mearns, in his associa-
ton with Major Grant, acted as the
company's representative in the negoti-
ations with Hollins & Go.
When the banking house began the
formation of the Keystone Materials
Company, Mearns, he alleges, was APP

Co. were his clients, and that they were
anxious TO include the Grant Brick

Is said, Dickinson introduced Mearns

Kutzleb was r member OF the firm OF
II. r. Hollins & Co, and represented
the firm in the transactions.
Mearns did not learn until later, he
says, that Kutzleb was not a member
Of the firm until almost two years after
he was first approached, in the fall of
1911. At another interview, Mearns
continues, Hollins was present and con-
firmed statements by Dickinson and
Kutzleb regarding the latter's member

Brick Company.

Finance as She Is Wrote.

To add to troubles of the Wall street
man forced to spend his summer in
the city comes the necessity of en-
ploying a substitute-stenographer in
vacation season. Wall street diction is
hard enough for the regular stenog-
rapher; the substitute finds it next to
impossible.

tutes not long ago tried to be particu
larly careful and distinct in his dicta-
ton. Nevertheless, controller of the

the corn belt" A remark about the
drought district in Kansas" was inter
preted as Crouch in Kansas"
Reverting to money matters again,

cory showed that bouillon soup had
been taken into the bank.
Right there the bell rang for a new

soul of him who has an imagination
easily touched by the past. Melrose,
hemmed in as it is by populous little
city, loses something of its native
grace, though it is inexpressibly lovely
even without the moonlight that Scott
recommended. Dryborough, however,
is nobly set in lonely spot, and moth
ing in the British Isles can be more
touchingly beautiful than it's mellow
ruins. Not even the raucous voice of
the local Scottish guide explaining the
history and architecture of the place
to forty or fifty of one fellow-Ameri-
cans can spoil the effect of that rarely
serene and restful spot. When the
guide and his attentive audience have
passed out of earshot 1t is something
to sit amid the ruins, gaze across the
sunny and deliciously green quad
rangle enclosed by part of the walls
and imagine the ceoweed and silent
monks again moving about their clois-
tiers, summing themselves upon their
stone benches or stalking with meas
ured tread to prayers at the sound
of the abbey bells. In the quiet of the
delicious ruins, sequestered from the
world outside by a dense growth of
noble beeches, evergreens and flow
ering shrubs, Dyborough's thousand
years speak with a voice more elo-
quent than any that ever sounded
from her pulpit.

Edinburgh Is Quiet City With 9
Stormy Past.

1t is hard to believe that any city
could quite live up to such a site as
Edinburgh's, and the Scotch were not
presumptuous to call their capital the
Athens of the north. Something in
Scottish intellectually has saved Ed
inburgh, though long bereft of the
parliament that she is now making
ready to ask back at the hands of
England, from sinking into more pro-
vincialism. AT the same time the city
Is one of singularly quiet ways, oddly
in contrast with her stormy past. In
spite of her repute for conviviality,
she is an early closing town, and
there is little gaiety in the streets
after half-past ten o'clock, while her
best-known and most fashionable res
taurant serves a very Indifferent
table d'hote at two shillings sixpence.
Few things in Edinburgh strike the
traveller with more of almost humor-
Gus surprise than a Presbyterian
church which is really a magnificent
old cathedral. St. Giles, although not
so huge a structure as many English
cathedrals, and less noble in outward
aspect than many other great
churches, is a rich and glorious thing
within, where the tattered battle flags
of Scotland hang in the light of win
dows warm with the loveliest stained
glass. AS to the Thistle chapel 1t is

old People Need
a Bowel Sfir71uIQr1f
The Ideal One Is q Mid Laxative
Tonic Thar Viii Keep fhe BoroeLs
Gently Active.

Healthy old age is so absolutely de-
pendent upon the condition of the bow
els that great care should be taken to
see that they act regularly. The fact
is that as age advances the stomach
muscles become weak and inactive and
the liver does not store up the Juices
that are necessary to prompt digestion
Some help can be obtained by eating
easily digested foods and by plenty of
exercise, but this latter is irksome to
most elderly people. One thing is GER
tain, that state of constipation should
always be avoided. as it is dangerous
to life and health. The best plan is
to take a mild laxative as often as is
deemed necessary. But with equal GER
tainty it is suggested that cathartics.
purgatives, physics, salts and pills be
avoided, as they do but temporary good
and are so harsh as to be a shock to a
delicate system.
A much better plan and one that
thousands of elderly people are follow
ing, is to take gentle laxative-tonic
like DR.. Caldwelrs Syrup Pepsin, which
acts as nearly like nature as is possible.
In fact, the tendency of this remedy
is to strengthen the stomach and bowel
muscles and so train them to act natu-
rally again, when medicines of all
kinds can usually be dispensed with.
This is the opinion of many people of
different ages, among them Mrs. Mary
