His Interests
In Settlement
Guaranty Trust Company
and Alvin Untermyer
Will Be Joint Trustees:
Liquidation Is Avoided
10 Press Damage Suit
Broker Denies Reports of
Unfair Treatment to Him
in Banking Circles Here

samuel Untermyer, who was retained
by Allan A. Ryan to look after his in
terests after his affairs had been taken
over by group of Wall Street banks,
announced yesterday that agreements
nag been formally executed and deliv-
cred under the terms of which the
Guaranty Trust Company and Alvin
Ontermyer will act as joint trustees.
He declared that the settlement would
make unnecessary the liquidation of
MIR. Ryan's holdings in the various
properties in which he is interested.
Mr.. Untermyer, in statement to the
press, also said that the settlement az
ranged for Mr.. Ryans affairs will not
Interfere with the latter's intentio1 Of
suing the Stock Exchange and its
board of governors for alleged injuries
resulting from his expulsion from the
Stock Exchange. This litigation, Mr..
Untermyer said, will be pressed with
all possible energy.
His statement follows:
"The affairs Of Allan A. Ryan and
A1toH ~ 1Sydu 0 OO nave now O60O SAT-
isfactorily settled by agreements this
day executed and delivered. The Guar
anty Trust Company and Alvin Inter
myer have been requested and have
agreed to act as joint trustees under
the agreement.
"Mr. Ryan retains control of his
properties, which will continue to be
operated as heretofore. The settle
ment will not involve and renders un-
necessary the liquidation Of Mr.. Ryan's
extensive holdings.
"The settlement arrived at does not
affect Mr.. Ryan's litigation against the
Stock Exchange, which will be pressed
with all possible energy.
"Mr. Ryan takes this opportunity to
deny the many baseless and foolish
rumors that have been circulated con-
corning his relations in banking cir
cles and to give public expression Of his
appreciation of the uniform justice and
courtesy he has received"
Mr.. Untermyer's statement regarding
MI. Ryan's plans to press his suit
against the Stock Exchange were inter
preted in financial circles as meaning
that he will act as his counsel.

COnUict,s Aduice to His Pal
Sends Latter to Sing S;,,o.
Letter From S'speed'' Tartora, Serving Long Term,
to "Broadway'' De Sonto, Falls Into Hands of Au-
thorities; Aids Prosecution of BROOKLYN Rohher

Speed" Tartora - he's serving
twenty to forty years in Sing Sing for
robbery in Brooklyn last June-had
the best intentions in the world few
months ago when he addressed letter
to his pal, "Broadway" De Santo, and
warned him to accept chance to plead
guilty, if he got one, and not stand
trial. Don't stand trail," he wrote,
"becose they will hang you-if you talk
q plea the most they can give you is
s years." In the letter Speed" showed
curiosity that was natural, perhaps,
for one pal to show in another's well
fare, when he asked "Broadway' to let
him know "if you was indenterfied by
the 3 Jews that we stuck up" but he
never thought such query would re-
suit disastrously to "Broadway".
=. Unfortunately for "Broadway," the
letter was intercepted by the author
tiles at Sing Sing and forwarded to
District Attorney Lewis of Brooklyn,
and largely because of the letter, Mr..
Lewis said yesterday, "Broadway' got
a sentence of two years and eight
months. A third man, Dominick Can

that that head had turned complete1v
around. Then Whitley turned it the
otner way and just as suddenly snapped
~ pack so that he was looking straight
ahead. Several times he did this,
Peter knew that he was looking for
some one on whom he could make a
dinner q
And Peter knew, too, that while he
looked with those great eyes Whitley
was listening with u wonderful pair If
ears for the faintest sound to tell him
OF some one moving. SO Peter sat as
stlil AS If he were a stone and there
was no sound in nll the Green Foros,
save OF Lightfoot the Deer and Mrs
Lightfoot browsing in their yard and
to this Whitley paid no attention. At
last after ever so long Peter heard the
sharp voice Of Chatterer the Red
Squirrel so far away that it was verv
faint. Whitley heard it too. Once
more he looked all around. Then he
spread his broad white wings and with
out sound few off in the direction IN
which he had heard Chatterer's sharn
voice. Not until he was out of SIGHT
did Peter breathe as freely and easily
as before he had seen Jumper race for
his life. He waited few minutes
tnen hurried over to that little thicket
OF crowded hcmlock trees to tell
jumper. how glad he was that he had
escaped.

TRENTON, N. j., Jan. 11.-Almost
the first move of the new Legislature
which convened here to-day was a de-
mand by the Senate upon Governor
Edwards for tie names of the judges
who were limited at by the Chief Ex-
ecutive as being under the influence
of "invisible interests"
Governor Edwards's statement, which
the Senate holds to be reflection on
the courts, grew out of the refusal OF
the Senate to confirm or reject his
appointments to the Public Utilities
Governor said:
THE action of the Republican State
Senate on Wednesday in refusing to
confirm my nominations for the Pub
lie Utilities Commission marks the
end of the first round of the fight be-
tween the people on one hand and GER
tain malign and invisible interests on
the other hand"
He declared that the "invisible inter
ests" controlled enough Republican
Senators to win the first part Of tho
set-to, and that it was proposed to take
from him the power Of appointing mem
bers of the commission and "invest IL
in certain members Of our courts, who
are believed to be under the influence
of these interests"
Two Women Legislators

call upon the Governor and ask him
for the names of the judges to whom
the chief executive referred. The
resolution calling for the appointment
Of the committee was introduced by
Senator Mackay and was passed by a
vote of 13 to after bitter debate.
The resolution expresses confidence in
the courts of the state.
Several precedents were broken in
the legislative halls to-day. 1t was the
first time that one Legislature trod so
closely upon another's heels that there
was no delay in legislation. The 1920
Legislature adjourned at II o'clock in
the morning and the 1921 session con-
vened at II o'clock. For the first time
two women, Mrs. Jennie c. Van News
and Mrs. Margaret B. Laird, both Re-
publicans of Essex County, became
members of the Legislature, and for
the first time negro, DR.. Walter G.
Alexander, Republican, also from Es-
sex County, took a seat as lawnaker.
All three are from Essex and are in
the lower House.
In his first annual message to the in
coming Legis. .ature, Governor Edwards
rot only urged the rejection of any bill
designed to bring about restriction of
human activities on Sunday, but de-
clared that the Sunday laws now in
force SHOULD be liberalized."
