Toner'S Action Unjust.
81 have been cleaning UP the ODDS
and ends of my personal business so
that nv partners could proceed intel.
ligently with the work of the hrm,
and I went to Chicago to confer with
the stockholders there, and tell them
of our clients willingness to aid
further in this emergency. We had
a very pleasant conference and l feel
satisfied that a plan will be worked
out which will be satisfactory to
everyone. OF course I have nothing
more to do with the matter, but I am
satisfied that it will all be cleared up
without any reflections on anyone.
1T IS painful to be compelled TO
submit to the publicity which Mr..
Toner has inspired, especially when
know that so far as our firm, or
our clients are concerned, every act
has been honest and square. 1t IS
especially unjust because if Mr.. Ton
err has called upon me, or written
me. or asked me to see him, | feel
satisfied that ! could have convinced
him of the Injustice of his attitude.
81 have withheld qualifying as
Judge to enable me to get the inter
ests of my various clients In shape

with their business. I have been
working night and day to accomplish
this. and I hoped to he able to leave
nv clients interests in this corpora

been a grave injustice, not only to
me personally, but to all the other

Federal Judge Says Attack From
Chicago Man is Unfair and
Gives His Side
Of It.
is FINISHING HIS WORK
Says He Is Working Hard to Close
up Business That Other At
torneys May Take
Hold.

Judge Martin j. Wade, recently ap-
pointed to the federal court for the
southern Iowa district, in published
interview corrects certain misstate-
ments that appeared in Chicago pa
pers relative to his relation as an at
torney to sale OF stock Of Cana
dian townsite corporation. Judge
Wade has a great multitude of friends
In Iowa, and elsewhere, who would
attach no Importance whatever to
any reports derogatory to his integ
rity and personal character; but 1t IS
no more than fair that he should have
wide publicity in refutatioa Of the
charges wrongfully made against him.
The following interview fully explains
the case and entirely exonerates the
judge from the allegations:
Connecting my name in the news
papers with the recent arrest OF Mr..
st. john, in Chicago, is vicious out

tions in the sale of some stock In

troversy between Toner and Mr.. st.
John. I never saw Mr.. Toner to my
knowledge, and never had any COM
inunications from him OF any kind. II
he had conferred with me, am salts

that l had absolutely nothing to 40
with the matter.
In Behalf Of Clients.
"My arm have been for many years
ATTORNEYS for the Wisner estate at
Eldora. Iowa, and if anyone has any
cause to complain about the manage.
ment of the corporation, our clients
have. They have invested something
like s225,O0O in the company, and
their confidence in the company has
been such that they never took any
security OF any kind, never have re-
ceiyed a dollar Of interest or profit,
or money for any purpose from the
corporation. nor have they sold dol
lars worth of stock to anyone. so
far as our firm or myself are con-
cerned. any interest that we have
