TUSCOLA, H., May I'm. T. Quirk,
president, and his son. John Quirk,
cashier of the Arcola State Bank at
Arcola, near here, were arraigned to-
day on charges of forgery in connec-
tion with the closing of the bank yes
terday and, after waving preliminary
examination, we're bound over to the
grand jury.
The men were specifically charged
with forgery of two notes, one for
So 200 and the other for S4.234 Bank
officers explained that the charges were
based on these notes primarily to expe-
dite proceedings and that complete
charges of Irregularities, said to total
more than S400,0 900, would be filed later.
Gambling in grain with q firm which
twice had gone bankrupt was said to
have been. responsible for the downfall
of the Quirks.
According to Andrew r. Dimond. a
director, irregularities dating back as
far IS 1914 have been discovered.
John NJ Ernst, a grain dealer, twice
bankrupt, had been refused loans by
the banks board of directors, but the
elder Quirk permitted him to draw
without security, according to Mr.. Di-
mond. Ernst had no banking account
but was repeatedly permitted to make
loans without security and to write
checks until his accounts ran over the
$780, 900 mark. When bank examiners
came to inspect the books false entries
were substituted.

"That isn't funny little fellow; it

Woof- w oof, as he tried to pull her out
of the Lone Little Path, and there was
note of anxiety in Boxers whisper
"He wants to go up the Lone Little

"And | want to go down it," said
Woof Woof in most decided tone

But by this time Woof- Woof was
very angry. so you would step aside
for little fellow like that," she
sputtered. S'Well, I won't. can tell
you that. You ought to be ashamed
of yourself, Boxer Bear, to be afraid
OF any one so much smaller than
yourself"
Jimmy Skunk began to advance
slowly. and Boxer noticed that his
big plumy tail was carried rather
higher. Boxer hurriedly scampered
off to one side. while Woof- Woof
called him q coward
"lt isn't that care particularly
about going up this Lone Little
Path, said Jimmy Skunk. "It is that
dislike to see the young treat their
elders with disrespect," said Jimmy,
and his big tail went up just a wee
bit more.
By this time Woof- Woof's little
eyes were very red with anger. She
had dropped down OH all fours and
was growing in a way which she
thought sounded very ugly and threat

The committee Of the whole of the
Sinking Fund Commission yesterday
took up the question of the leasing oS

Guardia introduced resolution, which
will be submitted to the borough presi-

needy widows and cripples now actu-
ally conducting stands with a rental of
not more than 81, 900 year shall be
permitted to continue in possession at
such rentals as the supervising COM
missioner may elect.
1t was said at the meeting that Grip
pies, the blind and soldiers were being
used as decoys for valuable stand priv
ilegcs, and Mayor Hylan told of a
stand privilege being granted TO a for
mer soldier because Of his record,
where it was shown on Investigation
that the veteran was working for a
we'll known man. The aldermanic pres

Who Refused Tribute to
Union Agent Was Caught
speeial p.sbatch to The Tribune

CHICAGO, May l7,-~Girl blackmail-
ers as aids to union business agents in
removing obstacles to their eXtortion
schemes to-day presented a new angle
to the building trades graft game,
which the Daley commission is in
vcstigating.
According to one case presented to
the commission, the construction super
intendept for prominent firm of archi-
tects refused to "kick in" with large
sum OF money demanded of him. He
announced that ne would fight the case
through without paying tribute or let
the building material rot on the job
The business agent who made the de-
mand departed.
A few days later the superintendent
became acquainted with an attractive
young woman. They became good
friends and the result was trip to a
loop hotel, where he bought her drinks.
The next day the business agent re-
appeared and vowed that the superin
tcndent had been out with his the
agents, girl, and that there would be
fered to settle the matter with money,
but the agent would hear nothing of it.
you leave the city within twenty
four hours or We'll tell your wife," he
said.
Fearing an expose that would wreck
his home, the superintendent departed
for small town in Oklahoma. The
business agent then renewed his nego-
tiations with the architects and col
lected the sought-for graft
Evidence involving several union
business agents in shake-downs, rang
ing from $3.50 to $3.50, and transcripts
of the testimony in the plastering con-

A tip on $4,000 shakedown was

Everyone who has fur

get antique beds that are real

and charm to a room.
The decorator knows, too,
that with a 6ne bed as a

personality a lovely room.
Au Quatrieme has a colIec-
ton of antique beds from
many countries, a collection
of interest to decorators and
people who are opening their
summer houses and planning
new bedrooms.
From the Palazzo Carni-

A beautiful small Louis
