In response to O request from Senator
Couzens, Republican, Of Michigan, for
further details regarding the matter,
Senator Blaine continued:
'Halsey, Stuart g. Co., before they
entered upon the sale Of the stocks and

ton, Mr.. Wardman having disposed OF

some time prior to the issuing OF the
last issue of stocks and bonds-had full
access to Wardman's books before the
bonds were sold. They knew that Mr..
Wardman owed practically all of the
banks in Washington, and 1t was to re-
lieve the pressure on the banks, which
we're threatening to close in on Ward
man properties, that the bond issue was
conceived. When the bonds were is

had not been paying carrying charges.
They knew that that organization was
bound to fail. They could not help but
know it. Yet they made representations
to the public that these bonds and
securities were gilt-edge, the very
finest character of investment.
These same investment bankers are
now organizing a protective committee
and they ask default of the bonds so
they can tie up their victims securi-

A fire that did many thousand dollars damage broke out in the Lipman block on Main street at 2:30 o'clock this morning. The firemen were on the grounds in a few minutes and after a two hours battle had the blaze out. The Afl- derson Candy store was complete ly ruined and the building at this end of the block was badly gutted. The fire went through the walls and the Fulton market next door was also badly damaged, the blaze was more In the back of the building and travelled the entire length of the block. The smoke and water damaged the entire block causing much damage. The Connecticut Power Co store, and the National Stores was also dam aged. The origin of the fire is not known but 1t is thought that de- fective wires in the Anderson store must have been responsible. A large crowd of Thomaston peo- pie were attracted to the fire and Main street was lined with several hundred people. The National store was able to open for business to-day but the Fulton market will not open until later and the An- edrson store is completely de- stroyed. Other occupants of the building damaged were the law of- flee of Vincent Miller and the den. tai ofiice of Dr Ben Sachmer.

 Ford. according to Levin's paper, met the problems of depression with "a turgid flood" of words "abounding in moral exhortations and noble ideals" but lacking tn deeds.
 Levin said Ford failed to coop crate with local charities in De- troit or to give aid to former em- pIoyes in need.
 While Ford has said that charity 'is humiliation pure and simple and should be as unnecessary as 1t is unnatural" Levin continued. 'shosts. of Ford workers are deni- sens of public soup Kitchens and lodging houses, and thousands of others have been reduced to skimpy allowances of public and private charities"
