We learn with a feeling some
that akin to amazement that the
" B. FOshay company of Min
reaUOlis is in the hands of a re-
@iyer, Why, its only a few short
weeks ago that everybody in this
neck of the woods was talking
about the FOshay skyscraper
which stood, so said the papers, as
, monument to the thrift, untir-
mo energy and business ability of
Nj. W. B. FOshay. We read that
syeraI banks are in danger as a
result of the FOshay disaster. One
financial institution controlled by
gt.rich-quick FOshay has already
closed its doors.
'The man with the green hat"
is now almost as famous in Wash
hgtOn as ''The little green house
on K. street" was during the Tea
pot Dome regime. George l..
Cassidy who is said to be respOn-
sibe for much of the elOquence
that prevails in the senate was
caught with the wet goods at the
entrance of the senate office
buildings. The package he car
hed contained two bottles of
whisky and two more were found
N his car. A search of his home
disclosed 266 quarts of assorted
liquor. 1t is now in order for
the Senate to observe silence for
an appropriate period.
Things are getting pretty tough
when a voluntary prohibition
agent is convicted Of manslaugh-
ter for killing a scOfflaw without
hope Of reward. This was the
fate Of Jeff d. Harris of Okla
hOma, who shot to death a farm
g IN an Independence Day raid.
Most prohibition killings seem to
Be done for fun and fortune but
i looks as if Harris killed as a
natter Of patriotic duty. He was
'abbmg on the regular fellows
and may really go to jail.
Senator BrOOkhart of Iowa pre-
tcts that if the severe decline of
stock prices in Wall street con-
mues banks all over the cOun-
ny will go into bankruptcy. He
says that a large percentage of
Ie money advanced to New York
brokers' comes from country
banks who would lose tremend-
Gus sums of money if stock con-
un0e TO tumble. The failure OF
Pittsburgh bank of deposit
ShOse Y cashier gambled in the ex-
%nge gives strength to Brook
1arts fears. Tho not all of the
iO"ans fears are well-fOunded
OepOsltOrs will thank him for the
warning.
