Option on Ralston
Expires With No
Trace of Schaeffer

Option secured by S. E. Schaeffer,
promoter of the so-called Rialto COM
panies, upon the Ralston townsite, ex-
pired at midnight Thursday without
being exercised, and title to the prop
crty reverts unclouded to the Raj
ston Townsite company.
Failure of Schaef1er to exercise the
option marks the end of his promo
ton project to found a movie city at
Ralston, it is believed.
No investors placed their money in
Schaeifers scheme and the only losers
are those who extended credit to
Schaeffer.
The whereabouts of the promoter
is unknown here. Henry Pollock, a
cousin, has returned to Omaha after
visiting Milwaukee in search OF
Schaeffer, and says no trace of him
can be found there.

ficials we're today figuring the treas
ury's net balance for the fiscal year,
which ended last midnight, to de-
termine whether a bond issue will be
necessary to care for expenses caused
by the Mexican crisis.
There is an agreement among the

to authorize such an issue if ordinary
resources of the treasury ard the ad-
ditional $2l0000,000 expected from
the administration revenue bill are
not sufficient.
The expenses incident to the Mexi-
can emergency already provided for
or estimated approximate $l25,0O0,-

pense, would be covered in the pro-
posed bond issue.
