HORNETS PAYING OFF DEBT
However, No Dividends Because o
Thomson Defalcation


Austin, September 15-The George
checks to the amount or twenty five
per cent of the claims the banks of
the country held against the COM
pany. Last winter the company
made a payment of fifteen per cent.
When "Cy"" Thompson committed
his great defalcation of $1,187 900
the banks of the country held the
company's paper to the amount of a
million and a quarter, At the meet
ing of the representatives of the
banks held in Chicago, it was decid
ed to give the HORNED company
three years in which to pay up its
claims. MIR. HORNED said he would do
it in two years.
In thirteen months the company
has paid forty per cent Of the
amount. Mr.. HORNED is we'll pleased
with the progress the company Is
making in paying the debts and
says that every effort Is being made
to clean up the amount Z.
The distress that ICY" Thompson
brought upon people has been
brought out in many cases about this
city. Scores of widows had all their
earnings in the preferred stock OF
LQ6 company. Auull0lbLId JOTS Vi OS =
tates had bought the stock of the
company for minor children, as the
company is one of the strongest in
dustrial concerns of the northwest.
Many working people invested their
earnings in the company. Among the
latter were the men of the railroads.
Some of these men are now out on
a strike and they are in need of the
dividends that, but for ICY" Thomp-
sons stealings, would be annually
paid.
On account of Thompson's crook
ed work no dividends were paid last
year and it is problematical If they
will be paid this year says Mr..
HORNED The dividends unpaid are
drawing seven. per cent, so that,
where the investor can stand to be
without the dividends he has good
safe investment, but it is hard on
those who need the money.
When "Cy's" defalcation was dis
covered there was a lot of silly talk
and foolish sentimentality spilled
over the criminal, but now the eff
fects of his crime have been brought
home to many people. Mr.. HORNED
says that If possible the company
will pay the dividends this year but
at the present time he cannot give
any assurance that they will be paid.

employees outside the settlement plan
II was learned that some of the shop
crafts leaders on the Chicago and
northwestern railroad were de-
handing the dismissal of men hired
to fill the place of union men who
went on strike July /.
The hitch in the negotiations with
the Northwestern, which had gen
orally been believed to have been
completed yesterday, would not pre-
vent return of the men to work by
Monday. officials of the road said. At
the same time it was made plain
that the union settlement plan did
not cali for discharge of employees al
work when the settlement plan was
approved by the union policy com
mittee last Wednesday, and that the
road would not dismiss those EN-.
ployes.

Ministers of Gospel Tell About Their
Experience With Matt Men


Austin, September 18.-The Rev.
G. H. TenBroeck believes that his
association with Tommy Gibbons
during his summer vacation has
aroused more interest and comment
than the visit with President Hard
ing which DR.. r. G. Swisher includ-
ed among the experiences of his
summer vaction.
"The association of preach
er with a prize fighter seems to
arouse general interest, Mr.. Ten
Brock said. Nearly everyone
see questions me about it be-
lieve that more people have spoken
to me about my association with
Tommy Gibbons than have isked DR..
Swisher about his visit with Presi-
dent Harding"
n Not to be outdone, DR.. Swisher
said today that he had overlooked
one experience in recounting those
of his summer vacation. He de-
clared that he associated with a
prizefighter also. He met and talk
ed with Johnny Kilbane, while the
later was at vermilhon Ohio, for a
bout.

Duluth, Mimi, September Is
Nearly 100000 tons of bituminous
coal has arrived at the Duluth Su-
perior harbor during the first fifteen
days of September and in addition
twenty vessels carrying about $50,
000 tons are enroute, reports Of local
yesselmen show.
No hard coal has been received
here yet but Duluth coal men believe
that by October l that anthracite
coal will be flooding into the Head
of the Lakes at the rate the soft coal
is at present.
Thirty four boats have carried
soft coal here since the second of
September, when the first ship
ments arrived. Twenty two of the
vessels arrived in one week.
Twenty one vessels are enroute
here with coal and are expected to
dock within the next day. The coal
carried by these boats averages
about 5000 tons each.
illinois Coal BY Rail
The first shipment of Illinois coal
into Duluth by rail was received
here according to local coal dealers
here according to local coal dealers,
when five cars arrived over the
Northwestern line.
The Illinois coal was brought in
here for emergency purposes. 1t is
not probable any more OF it will be
shipped here on account of the large
quantities of soft coal being brought
forward by the vessels, coal men
said.
The anthracite coal situation has
not changed much in Duluth with
the announcement of the strike set
Element. Hard coal is scarce and
hundreds of orders are now on file
in local coal offices.
Coal men today said that in all
probability the hard coal situation
would be cleared up by October but
that some large orders for hard coal
now on file would probably not be
filled completaly.
