A New York Bond Scandal

Grand jury investigation in New York has disclosed the
tact that State Comptroller Travis purchased the past
three millions of dollars worth of bonds through one
broker at prices above the market quotations upon which the
broker admits profit to himself of $S41S46
TO secure these bonds the broker testified that he had
never put up cent in cash collateral but operated upon
the states and sold for as much as he could get
qhe broker was former manager of Boss Barnes Albany
paper and stockhoder in the same but denied that
Barnes profited any by the bond deals
In every the bonds were purchased at prices above
their published quotations at the time The comptroller could
have bought them for less money himself and in many
instances could have saved large sums by dealing directly
with the municipalities issuing them.
The incident is reminiscent of the bond probe of the Ore
gon state reasurers office last spring. which disclosed the
fact that single bond house had unloaded securities at
fabulous profit the state There this difference how

around the bottom of the trunk,
so that a white band encircles it..
At least, that was the way
Brownie Beaver always began
And no doubt he knew what ae
was about.
After he had removed the band
of bark Brownie began to gnaw
away chips of wood, where the
white showed. And as he gnaw-
ed, he slowly sided round and
round the tree. until at last only
the heart of the tree was left. to
keep the tree from topping over.
Then Brownie Beaver would
stop his gnawin gand look all
about, to pick out a place where
he wanted the tree to fall. And
as soon as Brownie had made up
his mind about that. he quicklJ
gnawed a few more chips out Of
the heart of the tree on the side
toward the spot where he intend
ed it to come topping down upon
