MONEY STORM
Continued from PAGE Qnel

Rodney and Company, liabilities
and assets not given.
The New York Curb market an
nounced the suspension of Rasmus-
sen and Company for alleged failure
to meet its engagements.
A steady stream of failures for the
last month, with resultant heavy loss
to customers throughout the United
States and Canada, recently led Dis
trict ATTORNEY Banton to start an in
vestigation of alleged irregular prac-
tees by brokers, the most common of
which was alleged to be the bucket
ing of orders.
OF thirty-odd firms that have gone
into bankruptcy since the first of the
year, twelve have been found by
grand juries to have operated in
manner to warrant indictment of
some of their members. Nineteen per-
sons are under indictments. and sew
eral Of them are reported to have
disappeared from the city.
Unusual interest attached to the
Kardos and Burke failure because of
the fact that the junior member of
tlle III III, JUN buIhe, was treasurer
of the United States under former
President Wilson.
He resigned that post in 1921 to go
into business with Kardos, a &c year
old broker who started in Wall street
eight years ago as a $10-week mes
senger boy.
Burke said his contract with Kar-
dos had an iron clad proviso that
neither member of the firm should
engage in trading on his own ac-
count, nor engage in any trading on
the exchange without the others con-
sent. Although he admitted he had
not followed the affairs of the firm
closely. he declared his belief that
Kardos had lived up to the letter Of
the contract. Burke said he had lost
everything in the crash.
"As soon is this thing is cleared
up" he concluded. Il shall start anew
to build my fortunes-but as a law
yer this time" Burke is GO.

N. P. to Erect New
$125,OOO Power House
at Glendive Yards
Special to The Tribune.

Special to The Tribune.
Glendive. June o9.-The Northwest.
ern Pacific railway will build a new
power house at Glendive, to cost S125,-
900. to be ready for use by October this
year. The contract for the building
was let at st. Paul. Mimi, Tuesday.
according to the statement made to
representatives of the Glendive Cham
Der of Commerce by John NJ. RapelJe.
vice president of the railroad company.
The building will be situated near the
southeast corner of the present round
house and will be a one-story brick
building. Az feet wide by S4h feet
long. The work on the structure will
men within the next 10 days.
The new power house is being erect
ed to replace the present power plant
which is too small and inadequate.
Though it's use for the immediate fu-
ture will be for the purpose of pro-
viding heat for all the railway company
buildings. nevertheless it will afford
sufficient room to install electric power
machinery in case the railway CON-
pany later should undertake to produce
its own electric energy. which is now
purchased from the local electric power
company. Owing to the fact that the
railway company is now building a new
railway depot and division headquarters
at Glendive. at a cost of over S2OO,O00.
and is making other improvements in
its terminal facilities. it was found
necessary to erect the power house in
order to provide adequate heat for
these new structures and also central
ize all its heating devices. Other i'm
provements also probably will be made
in the near future in its division yards.
Vice President Rapalje. accompanied
by II. E. Stevens. chief engineer. spent
the evening in this city. Glendive is
the old home of the former. who counts
many friends among its residents.

Nicholson had been visiting Mrs. H.

that city to Lewistown. The only
possible reason for the act that Mr..

that Miss Nicholson was suffering from

He took the body east and the burial
will take place at Detroit, MINI.
