of the bankrupt stock brokerage firm
of Kardos & Burke indicate that the
firm during the first six months OF
it's existence accumulated $962,4Oo
through margin payments by Gus
toners in Chicago. Pittsburgh and
other large cities where branch offices
were maintained, Joseph kraus, an
accountant, yesterday testified before
Referee Olney.
He said the brokers passed into
profit-and-loss columns as actual
profits all the money they received
as margin payments. The money thus
received. he asserted, far exceeded
money paid out, thus contradicting
testimony Of Louis NJ. Kardos. a firm
member, that more than 100000 of

INTEREST CENTERS
IN FOREIGN BONDS
French IS Gain Point After
Yesterdays Break-Home
Issues Irregular.
BY GEORGE II. HUGHES.

special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK. November 17.-Interest
In today's bond market was concen-
trated on the foreign list. particular
ly the French and Belgian issues.
Except for French IS. which were
up point from the last sale Of yes
terday. French bonds opened either
unchanged or lower. The French 7hs
were down more than a point. while
the City Of Marseilles IS and the City
OF Bordeaux IS were off from half
TO a full point. Department of the
Seine Is opened unchanged and the
Paris Lyons and Mediterranean Ga
were higher
There was no particular logic about
these discrepancies. All depend for
their investment rating upon the
credit OF France. There Is, however, a
market distinction in that French IS
and French TVS have the support of
strong sinking fund which Is not
the case with the French city issues
Whether or not the sinking fund
was operating today could not be
learned.
Other Bonds Little Changed.
Outside the French group foreign
bonds for the most part were little
changed. The United Kingdom is
sues. while not particularly active,
We're only fractionally lower. Among
the South American bonds Bolivia IS
sold below the low of yesterday.
which was decline of ? points on
the week.
The market for domestic issues
was irregular. United States govern
ment loans were little changed and
viz In MI nd 10
were up and others were down. Buy
ing in this group has been selective
all the week. There was uniform
strength among such bonds as United
Steel SIS and Illinois Steel AIS.
Speculative rails were generally a
little lower. although the Missouri
Pacific issues held fairly we'll. There
was no such development in the St.
Paul list notwithstanding favorable
forecasts.
Erie Group Reacts.
A slight reaction came into the Erie
group. although on the week Erie
bonds have made substantial ad
vances. There has been a good deal
OF talk about some other interest
buying Erie securities for the pur-
pose Of control. but this hardly ex-
plains the action of the bonds. A
more rational explanation Is that the
market is showing a tardy apprecia-
ton of Erie's improved financial posi-
ton.
Industrial bonds moved. as they have
all the week, in sympathy with their
respective stocks. There was further
heaviness today in Central Leather
So. American Cotton Oil 5s added to
| their gains of the week, which, in
Guiding today's advance, amount to
about nine points.
New issues continued to be readily
absorbed. The most notable example
of this this week was the rapid sale
of the Southern Pacific 5 per cent
equipment certificates offered on q
o.36 per cent basis Reports to the
progress in distributing the American
Telephone and Telegraph 51a per cent
debentures are encouraging. The
total new offerings for the week was

Milan and referred to his assistance
 and cooperation in the erection of the orphanage.
 If we of the Cross did not take an interest in the orphans, whom could we ask to do so? inquired the Bishop in response. God has not only given us this orphanage" he said,
 "but He is ready at every moment to reach out his helping hand to assist us. He congratulated Fs.ther. .Bojnowski and referred to the orphanage as an institution of mercy. The priest does not ask What Is its nationality?' but What is the work ? He does not ask TO whom does the child belong?' but How can I help it?' he said. Orphans are our care. we were sent to save them. and the Lord helping us, WIS shall do it."
 Orphans Thank Father Bojnowsli
 At this point an interesting feature was introduced when 13 year old James Enarose, an Italian boy who is an orphan in this institution, and Jane Szulc, il year old Polish girl expressed their thanks to Father Bojnowski for his interest and care of them. The boy spoke in English while the girl addressed the guests in her native tongue We thank our Father home and his kindly efforts in our behalf. We thank the Bishop and | the clergy and our other friends for

speeches were in English. The dinner Practically everything possible from the broiled spring chicken to the several kinds of desert was raised on the orphanage grounds.
 "Baumkehem" Served at Banquet.
 One feature of the repast, and which Is served only on occasions of the greatest importance was a baum kehem" or tree cake. a hollow cone shaped cake built like a tree stump and standing about three feet high. The cake is baked in layers, each layer when cut revealing it's marking like the bark on a tree. According to Rev. Father Iciek, toastmaster, only two families in New Britain can make these.
 During the banquet Polish nation al airs were played by the Old Guard national anthem was sung everyone stood up.
 Bishop Milan was selected to cut the first and Rev. Iciek cut the second. It proved to be a delicacy with most delicious taste. About 7b guests were present at The banquet.
 In opening the program of speeches, Rev. Iciek said, "one year ago we assembled to lay the cornerstone: today we are gathered here to dedf- cate this building to God and to hu- manity." He paid tribute to Bishop

of God, that is the ambition of the
 bulk of Polish people" A+ Enjoining the people to remain
 loyal to the faith of their childhood and to prevent any attempt to separ- ate them from their early teachings, the bishop advised them to remain as loyal to their priests and their church in the future as they have been in the past and spoke of the magnificent schools and churches they have raised in the past 25 years.
 You have in mind that these children belong to you," he said referring to the 100 or more orphans, but the first of all they belong to God. It is by being obedient to your leaders that all this has been done and it is to the credit of the people that they have followed their leader ship.
 We have blessed the building. That is a testimony that you have the faith you ought to have, joined to the virtue of charity The lesson taught us by Christ is to love our neighbors, to love our own people, but more especially to love those who have none to love them. You should do more than simply ad- n1ire Father Bojnowski, you must come to his aid, the debt is enormous and the upkeep is tremendous"

 Bishop Rhode was introduced as The moral guide of the Poles in America" and the man who has helped greatly to assist in the re- building of the new government across the water, for which service he has been decorated by the Polish government.
 Bishop Rhode took as his theme, The Polish. Priest in America" "The Poles are more largely agricultural than the immigrants of any other race, and the Polish farmer more than any other class has felt the full weight of the iron hand of oppression for the last 130 years" he said. He referred to the failure of Russia and Austria to give the Poles any advan- tages of education whatsoever, and said what they got from Germany was of little or no value. For this req son the Polish immigrant is the most helpless of any who land on our shores. The Irishman is a full hedged citizen the minute he steps off the boat in New York. The German has had the benefits of education and a paternal government, the Italian at least knows how to sing when he gets here, but the Pole is entirely at sea. There is but. one thing to which he can look, that is the church spires surmounted by the Cross. He looks

The qualities of Rev. Father Bojnowski as leader and his wonderful achievements were referred to by Mir. Smith.
