REPORT ON BUILDING
AND LOAN CONCERNS

Building and Loan Comnissi oner
James P. Woodruff, made his annual
report to Governor Baldwin, in which
he says that there are now fourteen
business in the state, an increase of
two since the last report, the new con-
Germs being the Southington Building
and Loan and the Stratford Savings
and Loan associations. The conbin-
ed assets of the companies total 3d.
CTS, 235. Sc, and the commissioner says
that they appear to be in sound fl
nanciaI condition, being managed
carefully and economically"
Commissioner Woodruff calls atten-
ton to the fact that the last General
Assembly prohibited the sale in this
state of oil mining securities with
out examination and certificate by the
building and loan commissioner. In
commenting on this he says:
The commissioner does not profess
to have the knowledge or ability to de-
terrnine the value of such securities.
Could he do this, his activities would
be sought for in larger fields Tt Is
possible he has been ultra conserva-
tive in the matter of refusing certifi-
Gates but believing the main purpose
Of the act is to protect the uniform
ed investor against worthless projects,
it has been his intention to consider the
interests of the investing public rather
than those of the mining promoter.
By far the greatest responsib ility
resting upon the commissioner, is in
connection with the mortgage invest
ment companies, with over 81, 000,-
900 of assets. AS many of these COM
panies are foreign corporations, SELL
ing their bonds extensively in this
state, they should be subjected to most
rigid examinations at frequent inter-
walls This department having no
clerical force of any kind, and, as al
ready stated, the allowance for ex-
penses being meagre it is impossible
to make the examinations of these
companies as thoroughly and as fire.

and deems necessary

MYSTERY SEEN IN
PROFESSORS DEATH
Body of Educator, Stripped Of
Valuables, Found in Harlem
River

NEW YORK. June Am autopsy
will be held today in an effort to de-
termine whether Professor Benjamin
Chatham Gibson, student at the
teachers college of Columbia univer-
sity. was slain and robbed, and his
body thrown into the Harlem river.
where 1t was discovered after Gibson
had been missing 10 days.
The fact that gold watch. diamond
stickpin and other valuables, known
to have been in Gibson's possession.
were missing from the body has led
some Of his friends to believe that he
may have been slain. There we're no
marks Of violence on the bodyy, how
ever. and a more thorough examina-
tion will be necessary to determine
the exact cause Of death.
Professor Gibson's home was in
Owensboro, KY. He was graduate
of the University of Kentucky, and
had been principal Of public schools
and an instructor in the state normal
college OF his home state.
Mrs. Gibson collapsed soon after her
husbands disappearance and was in
such condition that she does not rec
ognize an old friend who came here
from Owensboro to take her back to
her home, where she now Is.

The strikers are now predicting that
they will be joined by the brakemen
within the next 48 hours. Eighteen
car inspectors have quit and the crew

joined them. In the event Of q serious
wreck the lack OF an experienced
crew would greatly handicap the road.

yesterday return to work today, their
