DENIES RECEIVER
FOR EQUITY NOW
Decision by Judge Pollock
in Grain Exchange Case.
HAVE FAITH IN CONCERN

Not a Creditor or Stakeholder Is a
Party to the Petition to Declare Or
g%anizstion Bankrupt.
Fargo, N. d., June 25.-Judge Pol
lock refused to name a temporary re-
ceiver for the Equity Cooperative
Grain exchange In a decision handed
down following the conclusion of ar
guments respecting the %solvency or
insolvency of the concern.
AS announced by the court at the
outset he took up the question of sol
vency to settle that first, and then
would determine what to do with the
other questions. In view of his de-
cisIon finding no necessity for an inn
mediate receiver, and in reality es-
tablishing in his findings that the
Equity is financially strong, it is
much further.
In his decision Judge Pollock sus-
tanned practically all of the conten-
tons of the Equity attorneys that the
audits made by Salveson and Thomp-
SON bore the marks of ~inaccuracy,
while that of Thatcher was complete;
that the stockholders have shown
their faith in the concern by guaran-
teeing a large amount of money to
protect customers, and that they had
on file with banks in st. Paul a bond
further to protect these customers.
No Creditor Asks Receiver.
OF special significance was the
courts observation that not a creditor
or stakeholder was in court asking
for a receiver, but that all of these
were upholding the credit and tinan
cial stability of the concern.
When Judge Pollock opened he in
directly criticised the partisanshiE
that has arisen over the Equity move
ment, both by adherents of the Equity
and others, and said that he would
not allow street corner arguments OF
inuendo or i%nsinuations to enter into
the determination Of the issues.
He also upheld Attorney Genera
Linde as justified In starting the suit
when a responsible citizen came Il
him with such a large mass OF appar
emily creditable testimony and de
manded that he act. He said that i
is possible that the i~nstigators of the
suit have been misled by the audit;
made by Salveson and Thompson
which he said has been cleared up b!
Thatcher.
The proceedings upon which Judg'
Pollock gave his decision were TO
the requiring of the defendant corpo
|, ration to show cause why a receive
should not be named, the corporation
, declared insolvent and the officer
enjoined from further carrying on tn
: business of the corporation.

STEAMER CARRYING
DERNBURC HELD UP

London, June 25.-The Norwegian
steamer B~ergensfjord. with DR. Bern
hard Dernburg. German propaganda,
and his wife aboard. has been detain-
ed at Kirkwall with the Swedish
steamer varing from Savannah.
The Bergensfiord was due to reach
Bergen Thursday. The government
has not made public its reasons for
OBTAINING the steamer.
DIR. Dernburg and his wife sailed
from New York June IL under a guar
antee of safe conduct by the allies. 1t
is believed here that the steamer on
which he was a passenger may have
beer detained because of reports that
German reservists were on board.
The New York Tribune in an early
edition printed an interview with DR..
Dernburg, which the latter granted on
condition that Ii be not published III
til after his safe arrival In Norway.
In this interview DR.. Dernburg e
pressed a desire to go to the front.
The Tribune withdrew the interview
from its last edition when a London
cable brought word that the steamer
was detained.

he surveyed the curious scene before

| followed him in awe as he made
a haSty inventory of what we had dis
covered There were as many as a
dozen finished and partly finished in
fernal machines of various sizes and
kinds, some OF tremendous destruc-
tive capacity.
Kennedy was examining a little
qlartz-lined electric furnace, which
was evidently used for heating solder
ing irons and other tools. Everything
had been done, it seemed. to prevent
explosions There were no open lights
and practically no chance for heat to
be communicated far among the ex-
plosives.
Kennedy had switched on the cleo
trio furnace, and from the various
pieces of metal on the table selected
several These he was placing togeth-
er in a peculiar manner. and to them
he attached some copper wire which
lay in a corner in a roll.
Under the work table, beneath the
furnace. ono could feel the warmth
of the thing slightly. Quickly he took
the curious affair, which he had has
tily shaped, and fastened it under the
table at that point, then led the wires
out through a little barred window to
an air shaft, the only means of ven
tilation OF the place except the door.

den. In a corner, just beside the door,

A woman coming down the street,

"It's the gun-mol," remarked Ken

guard. This must be the root of that
grapevine system, as they call it.
Suddenly from the shadow of the
next house stealthy figure sprang
out on Brodie. 1t was our dip, dip

The dip had caught sight of us,
with his ferret eyes in the doorway.
