M'QUADE COLLAPSE
HITS OTHER BROKERS
Curb Estimates Total Loss to
Be S100,000-No Criminal
Charge Expected.

The suspension of McQuade Bros,
stock brokers, OF 80 Broad street. from
the New York Curb Market last satur-
day for insolvency has hit a severe
blow to a number OF other members Of
the curb, and has affected at least
twenty. It was learned yesterday.
No individual customers will lose
through the McQuade collapse. it is un-
derstood. by reason of the fact that the
McQuades did commission business
for other brokers on the curb floor rather
than with Individual customers. The
total loss, as estimated at the curb, will
amount to about 100000. That loss /:
distributed abong a score OF brokers, who
traded through McQuade Bros. 1t was
stated at the curb offices that no other
insolvencies as result of the McQuade
losses are expected.
The curb's committee on insolvencies
will meet this morning to take up the
case. Auditors are at work on the books
While IL is understood that the Nc
Quade patrons suffered their losse:
through unfortunate speculation witt
their money by the McQuade firm, M
criminal complaints are expected. Th'
disposition is rather to offer the Nc
Quades time to rehablitate themselves
and make good the losses, which curt
members do not feel were occasioned b.
intent.
The McQuade firm Is composed OF Ed
ward and John McQuade. They are
brothers OF James A. McQuade, Demo
cratic leader of the Fifteenth district
Brooklyn. He is said TO have had nc
interest in the firm.

peanuts, 100000 bushels OF white

potatoes and 100000 bushels of apples.
There we're increases. however. in the
forecasts of tobacco, barley, buckwheat,
rice and beans.
Neoraska's corn crop suffered most,
showing reduction of about 49, 00o, 900
pushels from a month ago. The reduc-
tion In Illinois was about 10000, 900
bushels. in Missouri 100000 bushels

2,S6S,399, 900 bushels of corn, in compari-
son with the total of 2,S75, 600, 900

The decrease presumably was due to
drought.

to walk up and down stairs. SO she
went down in taxicab-down by Gram

live, and through the lower avenue.
which. she pointed out, has changed
perhaps less than any other section.
Looks at 1t I'm Awe.
The taxicab drew up at the southeast
tip of the park. directly in front Of the
big marble figure which has become so
smudged with black in a few short
months Mrs. Simmons got out and
leaned against the iron fence which now
encloses the statpe. presumably to pre-
vent the more fanatical critics of Civic
Virtue" from hurting bombs at 1t. A
policeman was standing a few feet away,
tapping the fence with his club and
gazing in n rather bored manner at the
work which now has far outstripped the
Woolworh Tower and the Statue of
Liberty in the list of Things to See
While You are in New York"
1t was several minutes before Mrs.
Simmons had word to say She just
looked at the unblushipg giant In silence.
And then she noted the indefinite figures
female figures upon whom he appears
TO be trampling, an act which has
aroused so much resentment from for
ward looking women. She laughed.
"Pollywogs That's what those flg-
ures are :" she said Female pollywogs.
perhaps, but hardly women, any way
you look at 1t. 1t was rather foolish
to make such fuss over their sex.
AS though it mattered. But IL Mac
Monnies had wanted to compromise he
might have made one Of them a male
pollywog and the other female. But
that doesn't matter"
That's Right Expression.
"And they have examined his face
and said he was a moron" she added
after time. Hardly a moron, but
certainly not beautiful or exceptionally
intelligent 1 don't know what Mr..
MacMonnies had in, mind, more than
what 1 have read. but II seems to me
that 1t would have been a mistake to
make the face too intelligent. For real
civic virtue---the strong forces for good
in our social and political lfe-they are
not very intelligent yet. These forces
are determined and strong. but bewil-
derad. as though they were not quite
sure which way to turn. That's the
right expression"
Then Mrs. Simmons ignored the statue
for few minutes while she talked OF
South Dakota, where the cornfields seem
to her more beautiful than Central-Park
ever appeared. And New York politics
has come to mean little But South
Dakota is different. She hates the Non
Partisan League. which has got control
of North Dakota.
"Thank heaven 7" she exclaimed.
South Dakota has let the Non-Partisan
League severely alone. We have great

It has hitherto be>M assumed by

1t has now been demonstrated by

no elaborate system of hairy men,

Diamonds 1erritory's Only Asset.

The territory known before the war
as German Southwest Africa is Of lit
tie value. to the British, who have &C.
quired it, inasmuch as it is mostly des-
ert. 1t does, however, produce many
diamonds, which are picked up in the
sands along the coast.
The desert diamonds have evidently
been disturbed by water and wind, and
doubtless were brought from a not
distant source by ancient and van
ished rivers. Presumably they we're
originally derived from volcanic

monds in the Kimberly field Of South
Africa. Experts are inclined to think
that all of them came from single

monds from no two pipes are alike.
Accordingly, an anxious search Is be-

found, but, alas! none Of them con-
tains any diamonds.

Kalorama

Announcement Of the purchase
of a large tract of valuable
ground in Kalorama Heights for
future development was made to-
day by the Allan E. Walker In
vestment Co.
The property comprises an en-
tire square. 1t is bounded on the
south by Wyoming avenue, on the
east by Twenty-fourth street and
on the north and west\by Kalo-
rama road. 1t contains 1929
square feet.
1t is a practically level piece of
ground at a point Of the highest
elevation in that section, over
looking the Potomac river and
the entire Rock Creek valley,
making it a most desirable resi-
Dental location. Many fine. large
trees abound on the property.
In the Immediate vicinity there
are a number of costly residences,
completed and under construc-
ton. William E. Pearson and
Ashmead Fuller have recently
completed large houses facing the

former home Of President Hard
ing is nearby.
The property was owned by the
George M. Pullman estate and
was purchased from the North
ern Trust Company through the
office of Randall II. Hagner. 1t
was held at $3.50 per square foot.
The Allan E. Walker Invest
ment Company has not as yet
determined whether the property
will be developed by the building
of a number of fine houses or
disposed of in large parcels to
those who desire to build houses
