No Sir!
He Only Said It

but his word is as good as any
bond.
"What makes you so certains"
So one New York man said to an
other New York man this morn
ing. For thirty years / have
known that man; he is as open as
they make them and out and out
upright, and his word goes with
out a shadow of doubt with
everybody who knows him."
Upon such a foundation any
one can build up a city, a bank.
a corporation and any kind of an
undertaking requiring sincerity
and probity as we'll as intelli-
gence.
With such a character (not a
talent from birth) acquired from
principles, forming the Springs
of life, attained by all our young
men and women, what a country
America would be, what a power
of wealth it would be in every
State and all its cities.
Such a reputation would be
worth more than a million to the
young people leaving the colleges
to take up their life work. Money
is not everything to a business
man.

Building Conspiracy Charged.

Mr.. Cntermyer has charged that a
conspiracy exists among building ma
terial men to exact high prices and he
says he is sure 1t can be readily deter
mined that this conspiracy Is criminal.
He also said that moneys belonging to
the people and held in trust by insurance
companies are being withheld by insur-
ance companies from the mortgage mar
ket In order that stocks and bonds may
be dealt In. This, he declares, is in vio-
lation of the law of 1906. 1t is for the
purpose of digging deep into these mat
tiers that the Mayors Committee on Rent
Profiteering and the Aldermanic Com
mittee on General Welfare decided to
have a little investigation on their own
hook. regardless of whatever was done
by the Lockwood committee.
The city Investigators have been plan
ming to start their Independent inquiry
in day or two. 1t Is understood that
II Mr.. Moss has a chance to ask insur-
ance men called by the Lockwood COM
mittee all the questions which Mr. Inter
myer. Mr.. Hirsch and others think he
ought to ask 1t will largely contribute
to a reduction Of the expense account OF
the city probe.
