SAYS DER IGNORED
DANGER OF FAILURE
d. C. Raynor Carried Blind
Account With Firm Which
Employed Him, He Says.
GOT DEBIT WRITTEN OFF
Quit Brokerage in Disgust
When He Found Methods
Against His Liking.

De Witt G. Raynor. a former corre-
spondent and customers man of z. d.
DER & Co, was questioned yesterday
before Alexander Gilchrist, Jr., Special
Commissioner, by Arthur Garfield Hays
of counsel for the receiver of the in
solvent brokerage house. who Is trying
to trace some of its missing $4,000. 900.
Raynor said he had been successful in
getting investors for the firm. and also
admitted that he had maintained pri-
vate account under the fictitious name
of w. c. Holbrook. For this he said he
had paid to the firm on his account
some $4,000 and was short $1,000 when
he left. This amount, he said. was writ.
ten off by Dier & Co. on the under
ing that he would not take any of the
customers lists with him. He then went
into business for himself.
Saying that he had become disgusted
and dissatisfied with the way the busi-
ness was being conducted at the broker
age. Raynor testified he told Mr.. DER
of the firm it would rapidly go on the
rocks. When the attention of the head
of the firm was not given to the business
after repeated suggestions. Raynor sew
cred his connection. The money he had
invested in the account under the fic-
tjtious name, he said. came out OF
bonuses and commissions received by
him In addition to his salary of 500
week. Within two years. he testified, he
had received more than $4,000 in COM
missions for transactions which he made
for the brokerage
Several other clerks and customers
men were examined by Mr. Hays.
Theodore A. Winters of IA Center street
Jamaica, now with Raynor, Nicholas &
Truesdale, of 80 East Forty-second
street, said he had been employed by
the DER firm as a customers man until
about a year before the failure. He did
not know much of the general transac-
tions merely taking care of his own
clients.
Lester c. Quackenbush of 504 West
End avenue, who was employed in the
Cleveland office. told Mr.. Hays that the
deliveries of securities from the New
York office to the Cleveland customers
slowed up considerably in the month
preceding the failure. He testified that
the Cleveland office received money from
customers for purchasing securities and
that the money was forwarded directly
to the New York office. He said the
Cleveland office never kept any more
than $1,000 on hand at any time. and
that in event OF the necessity for further
funds the office would have to wire
here. What he termed "run' on the
Cleveland office took place just before
the failure.
Mr.. Hays said he expects to have
some OF the more important figures In
the brokerage on the stand within the
next few days, and hopes to be able ia
throw considerable light on some of its
methods

In one of the cases which will be pre-
sented either to-day or tomorrow the
complainant alleges that he received a
check for the full amount he was sup
posed to have realized as a result of his
investment in stocks. but when he pre-
sented the check as the bank he was in
formed that there Were insufficient
funds to meet it. The firm he had been
dealing with failed before he got any
of his money.
Two bucket shop operators probably
will leave for Atlanta to-day to begin
serving sentences of one year and one
day imposed by Judge Knox of the Fed
eral District Court. They are Leslie r.
Cooke and his brother Clarence H., who
when they were known as "the boy
brokers'"
The two boys opened offices and for
a time appeared to be doing we'll. Soon
however, complaints began to reach the
postal authorities and an investigation
developed the fact that they were freely
bucketing orders. The postal authori-
ties acted promptly but before they
closed up the Office the boy brokers"
had acquired about 1000 of their GUS
toners money. The actual amount lost
was not known for some time, but after
thirty complainants had been examined
the figure was set at about $4,000.
Leslie Cooke resided at 452 Riverside
Drive and his brother at 1104 Third
street, Brooklyn. After they had been
convicted a motion to set aside the ver-
dict was made to the United States Cir
cult Court. The conviction having beer
affirmed by the higher court the two de-
PENDANTS gave themselves up and were
taken in custody by Marshal William B.
Hecht who will see that they are turned
over to the authorities at Atlanta.

SPEED ORDINANCE DELAYED.
Board of Aldermen Finishes Ses-
sion in Only FL Minutes.

No report on the proposed ordinance
providing governors restricting speed of
motor trucks and taxicabs to fifteen
miles an hour was made by the Com
mittee on Thoroughfares to the Board of
Aldermen yesterday. There was little
other business. and William T. Collins,
acting president, jammed that through
so rapidly that the Board adjourned in
the record time of twenty-one minutes
by Alderman McGuiness's chronometer.
II is understood there is much opposi-
ton to the governor ordinance an6 IL
is likely to be amended before being
reported out OF the committee. 1t Is
argued that II would be unfair to make
local trucks use governors when those
from outside could run as fast as the
police would let them.
Resolutions Of respect to the memory
of Arthur f. Murphy. Tax Commits
sioner, n former member OF the Board
of Aldermen, were passed. A memorial

day in admitting that he has pyramided
loans amounting to s1,000,000 into

there seems no escape.
Leslie Harrington of the American
Novaculite Company and NJ. p. West of
the Western Land Operators Company,
who began operations after Bischoff had
begun to attract millions in foreigners
savings, spoiled the whole game, Chi

Bischoff linked up his activities with
those of Harrington in negative fashion.
He characterized the presiding genius

voluntary petition in bankruptcy against
the firm was filed in United States Dis
trict Court.
Liabilities were estimated at s3,300,-
900. with assets OF 100000.
The failure caused something of a
stir in financial circles, Notwithstanding
the comparative obscurity of the firm
in general speculative dealings. Con-
siderable business was handled through
the office. but at the same time the firm
never was wei! known in the Street as
a speculative factor.
Coming just at this time. the insol-
vency drew forth many questions as to
it's cause, but it was said there was
nothing sensational or unusual back or
the failure. The firm discovered that its
capital had become impaired as a re-
suit of expanding business and went to
the New York Stock Exchange authori-
ties. who advised the assignment.
The firm consisted of Henry B. Can
non, member of the New York Stock
Exchange Henry Joseph Patton. Har-
old A. Chandor and Covert l.. Goodlove.
1t was formed in 1903 and in addition to
a branch office in Philadelphia, 1t has an
uptown office at Seventy-second street

No statement was forthcoming at the
offices at 81 Broadway. Employees were
unable to say where the partners could
be reached All messages. letters, &C..
which arrived at the Offices by messen-
ger were not accepted and later in the
day the offices were locked tightly. All
callers. including a representative of the
