He Meets Smith

Merton. Buckner charged, met
Smith in April, 1921, and on April
10. Smith and Daugherty came to
New York from Washington Court
house. Ohio. Smith registered at a
hotel, but Daugherty did not. on
the same day, according to Buckner
Miller arrived here and stopped at a
hotel Il block away. Smith. at that
time. was alleged to have suggested
that Merton should meet Miller.
A week later Merton went to
Washington and there, according to
Buckner, met AIillleS through Smith
and by Miller was introduced to r.
+. Williams, chief assistant to Mil
Ter. Williams, Buckner charged. at
the behest of Miller. told Merton the
steps necessary TO secure return of
the American metals assets-which
the Government then held through
seizure during the war as an enemy
alien corporation.
Merton then went back to Ger.
many and returned to New York in
July of the same year He met King,
according to Buckner, and-Buckner
promised he would prove that
Kings bank account was increased
by $4,000 Immediately thereafter"
Merton next went to the Depart
ment Of Justice in Washington,
where two assistant attorneys gen
eral told him that the department
could not approve his claim unless
through court proceedings.
Handled Differently
Williams. Miller's assistant was
consulted and Buckner said Merton
was informed that the papers sub
mitted were very Disappointing"
indicating nothing could be done.
Merton then accompanied Smith
to the office of Guy V. Golf, Buck
ner charged. Golf then was an as
sistant attorney general and now is
United States Senator from West
Virginia. The matter was discussed
with Golf.
"Wait moment" Buel<ner said
Golf told Merton and Smith. III
send for Johnson"

r Johnson. "of Ohio, who was only
26 years old when Daugherty
brought him to Washington and
gave him by personal order, com
plete control over all alien property
matters"
After that conference. Merton
again returned to Europe, coming
back to this country Sept. IS, 1921.
On the following day he went to
Washington and met Smith,
Smith took the, papers applying
for return of the property claimed
byNMerton,' Buckner told the Jurors,
"and filed them himself telling Mer-
ton to remain in his room at his no
tel and that he would handle the
matter Merton let Smith attend to
it and the next day the papers were
in Daughertys Office"

Sept. Is.
Incurred Displeasure
Schmidt incurred the displeasure
of contractors when he refused to
approve proposal to give
preference to Trinidad asphalt in
paving specifications.
The Barber Asphalt Company.
which sought to advance the Trini.
dad grade. which sells at $50 a ton,
as opposed to $50 ton for the oil
asphalts, has obtained an injunc-
ton in Federal Court, restraining
diversion of Barrett law interest
prepayment funds from the personal
Golfers of the Marion County treas
urer to the city.
If the Barber Company wouu co
operate to withdraw the injunction.
the Marion County treasurer would
he compelled to forego an annual in.
come greater than that paid. to Presi-
dent Coolidge.
Mayor Duvall who has been coun.
ty treasurer, might be compelled to
return approximately 100000 he
drew IN Barrett law interest funds.
Also, it was pointed out, Clyde L.
Robinson. Duval's personal candi.
date for county treasurer. would be
forced, to exist. if elected, without
the emolument of the Barret law
funds.
Favored Amasite
Schmidt antaGonized both asphalt
and concrete interests when he pre-
pared specification for paving ma
terial similar to the "amasite" that
the board of works had authorized
for repairing holes in improved
streets. This specification, the as
phalt and concrete men contended,
was drafted so that it became the
cheapest paving material available
and therefore the most popular to
property owners.
Prominent lieutenants of George
V. Coffin at city hall predicted that
Schmidt would be reinstated about
Jan. / after the county election
Predictions also were numerous
that Alvah J. Rucker, corporation
counsel. who has prosecuted a loss
ing fight to restore the Barrett law
enforcement to the taxpayers, also
would lose his position in the politi-
cal strife attendant to the obtaining
of campaign contributions.
Tried Cooperation
Duvall said he tried to induce
Schmidt to cooperate with the board
of works, but that his endeavors
were fruitless.
1t will be recalled that Robinson
faced an Investigations by the Marion
County grand Jury because he had
inadvertently listed paving COM
panies as contributors to the earn
paign fund raised to elect Duvall.
The opposition Of majority faction
city councilmen also had an effect
upon the general situation.
THE councilmen probably un
earthed information on Schmidt that
had its effect" Duvall admitted
Councilman Walter r Dorset has
sought for many months to place
NJ. n. Bebee. track elevation en-
gineer, brother-in-law, as city en-
gineer.

previous upward swings. Though
this fact itself Ia not conclusive, 1t
has added Significance whom com,
pared with the progress Of funda-
mental conditions. A review Of 1928
and a scrutiny OF the prospects for
1898 strongly suggest the desirability
of now keeping a good portion OF your
funds liquid. This does not mean
that certain securities may not ad.
vance further.
The point to remember Is that gen.
erai business has now advanced we'll
into Q period Of prosperity. Expert.
ence teaches the wisdom Of getting a
large amount OF funds into liquid
form At such q time.
The prospects for 1926 are opti-
mistic. True. we have certain specu-
lative features in stocks and real es-
tate. together with the problems OF
disconcerting. Among the danger
spots are European complications
and congressional delays. However,
there seems To he a generally con-
certed and CO operative plan among
the best people Of the leading coun-
tries to get each nation on a business
basis.
Money also should become gradu-
ally firmer, but should not danger
ouSly strengthen unless we go into
real imitation. Money Is largely the
key to the situation
III analysing the 1925 prospects,
however. it will be Il grave mistake
to think only OF stocks. bonds, com
modities and the other material fac
tors which I have been discussing.
Bank clearings. car loadings and all
these other statistics are not the rea
foundation of prosperity. Prosperity
rests rather upon integrity, forti-
tude. loyalty, industry. common sense
and the other great human attributes
These have been the underlying
causes of the Improvement during
1925. These same forces-or lack of
them-win continue to shape bust
ness. not only in the new year but in
the new quarter century that begins
with 1926.

Owing to the harmful and uncalled

Investment Prospects for 1926.
In tho face Of an unprecedented vol.

since early 1917. While bonds reached
their top in May, fluctuations In the
corporation group since that time have
been very limited, and current prices
are very close to the best for the year,
or since the opening months OF 1917.
Newcomers In the investment field I'M
fortunately tend to overempha size the
Importance of the average level of the

Thus the position OF the cOnserVa.
