ASK SWAMI TO FORCE
SIECEL TO PAY DEBTS
Depositors Fear Ex.Banker Will
Not Keep Pledge

District Attorney Swami was be-
sicgcd yesterday by a score or more
of depositors of Henry SiegePs bank,
who reminded him that Siegel is due to
emerge from the Monroe County peni-
tertiary next month and that steps
ought TO be taken to coerce the ex-
banker into making that $l50,0OO resti-
tuition which was refused by Justice
Clark. of the Supreme Court. Mrs.
Emelire Baker was chairman of the
committee. and the Rev. Hugh Pritch-
ard, of the King Street Presbyterian
Church, acted as spokes man.
There are twelve indictments hang
ing over Siegel's head, and the de-
positors' committee told District At
torney Swami that the indictments
ought to be used to compel Siegel to
redeem his pledge.
According to the District Attorney,
the remaining indictments were shifted
to Monroe County when Siegel obtained
his change Of venue. When the de-
positors were informed of this legal
phase Of the situation they were for
immediate action looking TO a new in
dictment. Mrs. Baker, the chairman,
recently wrote TO Siegel, offering TO
intercede with Governor Whitman if
Siegel would promise to pay his debts
to the depositors.
For good behavior Segel is due to
get fifty days off Of his ten months
sentence-fve days for each month.
That would bring about his release
early next month.

Bought to Avoid Income
Tax. Wall Streets View

The successful bid OF lO3.Zi py th'
First National Bank for the entire
issue of the new state bonds yesterday
took Wall Street by surprise. In
formation as to the Identity of the
purchasers was refused at the First
National Bank, but in we'll informed
bond circles it was believed that the
bank had acted as agent for a group
of wealthy men, who are shifting their
investments to securities of this char
acter to avoid payment of the Federal
income tax. Among those mentioned
as buyers were George F. Baker, James
J. Hill and John D. Rockefeller.
The First Nationals successful bid
marks the first time that this institu-
ton has been awarded an issue Of this
character. And 80 the opinion that the
bank was acting only in behalf OF
wealthy clients was strengthened.
At the price offered Individually by
the First National Bank the yield basis
on the s22,00O,000 ffty-year canal AMI
highway bonds is about 3.s5 per cen:
and on the $4,000 900 thirty-year barge
canal bonds 3.Sl5 per cent. The dif-
ference in yield at this price and az
that offered by the Kuhn, Loeb VILLAIN
A. Read syndicate was only O.Ol per
cent. The understanding that the
bonds were quickly taken by private
interests does away with the possibility
of public Offering.
The success Of the sale from the
standpoint of the state was attested ~
tho number of bids, which was greater
than for any previous offering. Banks
we're more largely interested in the
bidding than ever before. Factors
which operated in favor Of the sale
were the practical certainty that the
FEDERAL income tax would be increased
and the likelihood that there would
also be an increase in New York state
taxes.
Yesterdays offering was the first the
state has made of per cent bonds
since 1912.
Last year syndicate headed by
Harris. Forbes & Co.. the Guaranty
Trust Company, the National City
Rank and White, Weld & Co. got the
S27 600 900 issue of 4As at lO3.4os, on
about a 4.08 per cent basis.
The new bonds "when issued were
actively dealt in on the curb market
Yesterday for the first time. The total
turnover amounted to s25O'Ooo, az
nrices ranging from l03i7 at the open.
