ANOTHER BLOCKADE.

WELL, sir, Nancy and Nick saw
some queer people and queer
happenings and queer ever so many
things while they were under the sea
helping Cap'n Pennywinklc. But one
Of the queerest things Of all was the
manner in which Flatty Founder
changed himself around.
Cap'n Pennywinkle blew his
whistle three time, the way he always
did when he needed help The Twins
heard it and hurried to the Cross
Roads at once.
What's grong?" called Nancy.
ooh, there's somebody blocking
traffic again." answered the fairy
man GROSSLY. "Flatty Founder is
lying here just at the busiest place,
and he's more stubborn than Tub
Terapin ever was"
Nick went up quite close and gave
the founder a poke. Whats wrong,
Flatty?" he asked.
Flatty yawned, then he stretched
and blinked one eye, Perhaps he
blinked both eyes, but if he did nc
one could see it. He was lying OF
one side just as you do in bed, anC
one eye was under him, right dowr

That the teachers of Sumter coun-

BY Unter1nlyer
Lockwood Board Counsel
Finds No Proof Either
Profited by Practices Of
Frontier Mortgage Co.
Senator i'm Firm 2 Weeks
Says He Had No knowledge
Buffalo Concern Was a
DetrimenE TO Building

Samuel Untermyer, counsel for the
last week disclosed that Senator James
W. Wadsworth jr. and Attorney Cen
eral Charles D. Newton were directors
in the Frontier Mortgage Corporation,
evidence to show that these officials
had profited by the practices Of the
company.
1t was brought out in Buffalo that the
corporation, organized in 1920 to spe-
cialize in second mortgages, displayed
In its prospectus that Senator Wads-
worth and Mr.. Newton were directors,
and asserted that profits of 20 per cent
might be made by discounting second
mortgages. The purpose Of the evidence
was to show that this practice, common
IN New York, operated as handicap to
building construction.
Untermyer's Statement
Mr.. Untermycr, in statement issued
yesterday, said:
$50 much has been said by way Of
comment on the connection OF Senator
Wadsworth and Attorney General New
ton with the Frontier Mortgage Corpo-
ration that / regard as undeserved that,
IN common justice to these gentlemen,
feel that should depart from my
fixed policy of giving no interviews and
making no statements except on the
floor of the hearing.
Senator Wadsworth has been direc-

whether he has ever seen this extraor-
dlnary prospectus or knows anything
about the real business of the corpora.
ton.
General Newton's main connection
with the corporation seems to be that
of counsel, which involves examining
titles and performing the ordinary ano
legitimate work Of the corporation
about which there can be no criticism.
THE prospectus and transactions O.
the corporation were put in evidence
not on account Of the connection O.
these gentlemen, but notwithstanding
that connection, in common with like
testimony introduced in New York CITY
in order to show the handicaps Of tht
existing loan market to building opera
tions.
Practices Not Held Unlawful
II do not regard the practices il
which the corporation INDUCES a
proper, or legitimate, although ther
is nothing distinctly unlawful abou
them At time when the supplying
of houses for the masses of our peopl
has become the most serious problem
of the day it was wrong to launch
corporation, such as this, with highl
respectable board of directors, to pre-
terest and bonuses, but there is no evi
dence to show that Senator Wadswort
or Attorney General Newton profile
