Mrs. Stoiber Sued
By Denuer Company
Ouer 3O,OOOBoxes

Mrs. Lena NJ. Stoiber, who owns
a big orchard in the Delta section,
and who is very prominent all
through Colorado, is fighting bitter
ly a suit brought against her this
week in the Denver courts by Nc
Phee and McGinnty. to secure pay
ment for 10000 fruit boxes. The
boxes were ordered by Jasper Carri-
ker, manager of the Stoiber orchard.
When they arrived he claimed they
were not ordered and refused to ac-
cept, so the story goes. The boxes
were dumped out on the Stoiber
property like so much kindling, it is
said and remain there to this day.
The company insists they filled
the order to the letter and the ranch
manager claims that the boxes were
not in accord with the order he sent.
The suit Is attracting a good deal of
attention in Denver.

GIANT SW|NDLE

William Wright of Boyerton, Pa.
"got in wrong" in the far east and
is charged with conducting gigan-
tic get-rich-quick scheme, using the
radium bearing lands of west Colo
RADIO as his lure, according to press
dispatches from the east. He is held
in Philadelphia under $4,000 bond
pending an investigation into deals
he was carrying on.
Wright named his firm the Ger
man and Gold Uranium company and
claimed to have radium bearing
mines in Colorado valued at S52, ,000-
900. Scores of farmers in Pennsyl-
yania, Maryland, New Jersey and
Delaware fell victims to the alluring
propaganda spread over that section
of the east by Wright. Many Of
these are beseiging the inspectors for
information, claiming they have in
vested sums ranging from 5000 to
$4,000. The charge that Wright
will be tried upon is using the mails
to defraud.

the animal lay sufferings in the heat,

and after call had been sent to the

and dispatched the animal, although

the New York market The statement
continues:
THE idea seems to be that the coun-
try banks, which hold about two-thirds
of the per cent bonds and use them
as the basis for their circulating notes,
may be induced to unite with the New
York City banks in opposition to the
bill if they can be made to believe
that the proposed currency measure is
going to injure these bonds and cause
losses to the banks. This is, of course,
unfOunded.
Meantime it is folly for any bank
to sell government Is at a sacrifice
, because of any apprehended legisla'
ton adverse to government bonds, as
no such legislation will result"
In conclusion the secretary said with
emphasis that there is not going to be
any financial trouble and that the
large crops now in prospc> are going
to be moved without difficulty; and
that the powers of the department will
be exercised in their greatest ampIi-
tude for the protection of the business

allow themselves two weeks more OF

Washington, D. c., July 29.-Sensa-
tional charges were made yesterday
afternoon by Secretary of the Treas
ury McAdoo in connection with the
depreciation of the market quotations
on per cent United States bonds TO
9512. Secretary McAdoo charges that
"a number of influential New York
City banks" have forced down the
price of the bonds ITO cause appre-
hension and uneasiness about these
bonds in order to help them in their
efforts to defeat the currency bill"
Secretary McAdoo attempts to allay
public apprehension by declaring that
the per cent bonds may be continued
in the statements national banks make
TO the comptroller of the currency at
par, and that it is not the intention of
the government to require the banks
to charge off the present nominal de-
probation below par.
The charges made by Secretary Nc
Adoo are of such a serious character
as to suggest. q new line of inquiry
to the lobby Investigating committees
Of congress. The secretary of the
treasury is likely to be given an oppor-
tunity to name to these committees
the bankers whom he charges with
manipulating prices to affect legisla-
ton. and in all J obability the bankers
will be called UPON to testify.
Banks throughout the country own
almost S730,S82. 100 of the 2 Fer cent
bonds. Their market value today was
