with gold deposit edge, ITO pieces, and

Extensive Traction Holdings
That Mr.. Shonts had extensive hold
ings in the Interboroueh Rapid Transit

OF his shares appears in the inventory

collateral securities, including 2,425
hares of marlborough Metropolitan
common and TIA shares Of INTERIOR
ough Rapid Transit stock. His equity
in hese secu ties amounted to S3S.9S3
The inventory shows that in 1917,
when Mr.. Shonts agreed to pay the
debts Of his wife up to $50 000 he bor-
rowed $50 900 from E. J. Berwind> now
chairman of the board of the Inter-
