toners of Brokers Lately Trading

Charges of embezzlement and lar
ceny after trust are contained in two
Indictments returned today by the
grand jury against John William
Henry and Benjamin w. woodruff,
lately trading as Lewis johnson & Co..
bankers and brokers. whose affairs are
now being. administered in the bank
ruptcy court
Two customers of the firm made COM
plant to United States Attorney Las
key that stock certificates and promis-
sorry notes left in the custody OF the
brokers had been hypothecated by the
brokers with a local financial institu-
tion. Mr.. Laskey presented the mat
tiers to the grand jury and the two in
dictments resulted.
Conversion of Notes Charged.
One indictment charges that Henry
and Woodruff were agents OF MIS-
Rachel T. Trimble and. October u last,
were in possession as such agents OF nve
promissory notes secured on real estate,
each of the value of $1,000 While acting
as such agents, it is alleged. the brokers
.-wrongfully and feloniously converted
the same to their own use" The grand
iy,rv charges the embezzlement of the
notes.
The second count of the same indict-
r1ent alleges a larceny after trust. 1t is
charged that the notes had been intrust-
ed to Mr. Henry and Mr.. Woodruff by
Matthew Trinible. jr.. for the benefit OF
Mrs Rachel E. Trimble-
The purpose of the trust is stated
to be that the notes should remain IN
the custody of Henry and Woodruff
until such time as Mrs. Trimble should
demand them. the brokers in the mean
time being empowered to collect the
interest accruing and deliver such col
lections to Mrs. Trimble. This trust
was violated, 1t is alleged, October u
last. when, it is claimed. the brokers
converted the notes to their own use.
1t is said the notes were hypothecated
at local bank for a loan made to
Lewis johnson & Co.
Second Indictment Charges.
The second indictment against the
brokers also contains charges Of en-
bezzlement and larceny after trust.
The endorsement count of this indict-
ment charges that Messrs. Henry and
Woodruff were agents Of John Helmus,
who had deposited with them four GER
tincates o. stock, one for ten shares
of Mergentha1er. another for five
shares. another for three shares. and an
other for two shares of the e. ne stock.
Three of the certificates were the
property of Mrs. Mary E. HeImus, ac-
cording to the indictment This stock
was also hypothecated with bank for
loan to the brokers. 1t is charged.
The larceny after trust count of this
Indictment alleges that the Mergen-
,haler stock was deposited with the

GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.
CHICAGO.

CHICAGO, December II. Wheat
prices developed hardening tendency
today. Influenced by the steadiness OF
quotations at Liverpool and by knowl-
edge that cash sales here were larger
than had been reported. There was a
noticeable absence of the selling
pressure, weak holdings having ap-
parently all been dislodged, and there
being no further evidence Of furry in
regard to the German naval raid.
After opening unchanged to Y higher,
the market reacted little, but then
promptly rallied.
Corn turned upward with wheat. At
first. however. prices tended to sag on
account of speculative selling. The
opening. which was the same as last
night to 4 off. was followed by a mod
crate net advance all around.
Oats took the same course as corn.
Rural offerings were limited

KEEPING PATH
WITH THE PUBLIC
Making Good Ones Promises Carrying Out Every
Statement in Ones Advertising These Make
for Success in Business

If a firm would stay In bust
ness II must keep faith with the
public. Saying you'll do one
thing-then doing another-this
Is disastrous. Silvers Piano Co.
has been honest with the public
from the beginning. This has
brought the name of the firm into
good standing. 1t costs nothing
to be honest. Any other policy
will eventually bring a firm into
distrust and make 1t the object
of much unfavorable criticism.
When we established this store,
nearly three years ago, we stated
our policy to be one of economy.
We have kept 1t so. The cost of
selling a piano has been consist
emily kept down and prices lower
accordingly.
Our slogan is "Tacoma's Home
Owned Music Store" And that
is what we are. No person,
firm or foreign corporation has
any strings on the Silvers Piano
Co., directs from afar the policy
of this institution, nor fixes the
prices at which we must sell our
goods. If we see fit to sell our
pianos with a mere net profit of
a few dollars, that's our business.
And we do not aspire to get rich
quick!
We have promoted no scheme,

HARRINGTON, ILL.,, Feb. B.
keep your ~, 900, Mr.. Carnegie!
I'll take no reward for doing only
my DUTY!"
These ringing words are from
plain Phillip Gill-mine hero. He
is the first person to decline a
Carnegie hero-prize.
Gill, a bluff, hearty Scotchman,
as years old and for nearly fifty
years mining superintendent,
deliberately took his life In his
hands and wormed his way into
the smoking depths of mo. 2
mine," near here. A terrific ex
plosion had trapped two of his
men in the deepest gallery. Gill
started calmly down to rescue
them, or to die with them in their
prison!
| asked Gill today why he alone
among all the 500 who have re-
ceived Carnegie hero-prizes re-
fused to accept.
10 ptOpie dSh, ne SHlilSu,
why a captain at sea stands by
his ship? There's no why about
it! IT'S just binding tradition
that the master of vessel MUST
go down with it-unless he has
seen the last of his crew in safety
first. Well, | HAD to go down
into the mine-and twas just like
drowning, too, with those waves
of gas rolling around mel HAD
to stand by my men, just as sea
captain would, till the very last
one was safe! l MERELY DID
MY DUTY!
81 took Tom Mills, the mine
boss, with ME, and Jas. Bennie
came along unasked. Down 200
feet of spiral stairway we went,
in the blackness, nearly smoth-
cred and after-damp; and then
Bonnie yells. The stairs are
blown out!' Twas thirty feet
more that we had to. climb down,
over those rickety timbers. And
The Tacoma times. [volume] (Tacoma, Wash.) 1903-1949, 1914-02-03

when we were finally safe on the
bottom we we're simply trapped In
a death-cell-for no human being
could climb up those stairs again!
II left Mills and Bonnie to find
one of the men, and l worked my
way alone deep into the gallery,
crawling close to the ground-it
was AIR that / needed-to find
Ed Wyatt. l was thinking ia
not make it, when suddenly l
crawled right onto him-a heavy
motionless mass, down, and SEEM
ing dead, with never a moan In
his mouth.
II don't know how 1 got him
back. The lamp on my cap was
out, and | was nearly gone with
choking. l tugged and struggled
and fought to draw one bit Of air.
out of that poisonous blackness.
| can remember shaking my head
and growing to myself In a kind
of rage-like an animal! 1t SEEM
ed a lifetime I'd been down there
and it WAS over an hour,
which is long enough! Well, fin
ally, | collapsed. Do you know
what that heart-rending torture
is when you fight and fight and
fight on nothing but raw nerve
against the choking of suffoca-
ton? It's horrible! 1 was al
most glad to give up-but right
to the last it was torture, because
remembered Wyatt's wife and
children. l hadn't saved him
YET for them!"
