home and began to work to repay the
money and start his life work. This, in
brief, is the life history of CHIEF

lated by some Of his associated in the
Court of Appeals. Justice Hurts term
of office will expire the first of the
year, but owing to the Christmas vaca-
ton of two weeks, he will not sit in

tically all his life.

TWO MEN 0USTED
FROM EXCHANGE
Use of Clients Funds and
False Reports Alleged by
Governors.
By the Associated Press.

| By the Associated Press.
! NEW YORK. November 9.-Expul-
sion of Samuel Mast ot the Chicago
! brokerage firm of Mast & Co. from
membership IN the New York Stock
| Exchange was announced from the
| rostrum today.
Expulsion OF Charles +. Holzderber
from the exchange and a ten-day sus-
pension of Ely S. Newburger also
were announced.
Used Funds Of Clients.
A statement OF the board of govern
ors said that the expulsion of Mr..
Mast. whose firm failed July IA. was
based on his admission Of reckless
and unbusinesslike dealings" Spe
cifically, the charges We're that his
insolvency had been brought about
through speculation with the funds
of his clients"
In expelling Mr.. Holzderber on
charges of 80 manipulating reports
Of executions that he was able to
make Il profit on many orders ex-
ecuted by him over and above his
proper commission" the governors
made II clear that Oliver Bridsman
and Charles Edey, his associates in
the firm OF c. z. Holzderber and Com
pany, were not - any involved. The
violations charged against Mr.. Hoiz-
derher were alleged to have been
committed in 1916, prior to his asso
citation with the present members of
the firm.
A few minutes after Holzderber's
expulsion had been announced Messrs.
Bridgman and Edey announced dis
solution of the firm of 4. =. Holzder-
Der and Company and organization of
the new firm of BridGman * Edey.
The suspension of Ely s. Newburger,
the governors announced, was based
on a charge of violating resolution
governing advertising. No details
were given. The governors made it
clear that there was no imputation of
wrongdoing or improper dealings on
the part of Mr.. Newburger's firm and
that il had acted against him prima-
rily to show members that even minor
violations of the exchange rules would
bring penalties.

OIL PLEA REFUSED.
Pierce Corporation Not to Elect
New Directors.

RICHMOND, Va. November 9.-An
Injunction restraining the execution
Of a mandamus writ issued last week
by the New York state supreme court
on petition of preferred stockholders
of the Pierce Oil Corporation was
granted common stockholders of the
corporation by the chancery court
here yesterday, when officers Of the
concern were enjoined from calling
meeting of preferred stockholders for
December for the purpose of elect
ing a new board of directors.
In granting the injunction the court
held that issuance of the mandamus
writ by the New York court was an
infringement upon it's jurisdiction. by
virtue of the fact that the preferred
stockholders already had instituted
proceedings here in which they asked
that the election Of directors held on
October 2 be declared null and void
While this petition is pending here.
the court ruled, the supreme court
of New York has no jurisdiction to
issue q mandamus directing that a
meeting of stockholders be called.
