CoBLENTz LOST HEAVILY.
Smith Co. and Wardman Losses Placed
at $2,225,O00.

Emory L. Coblentz has long been a
prominent figure in Washington fnan-
cial circles. his principal associates be-
ing the F. H. Smith Co. and Harry
Wardnan.
He is known to have incurred heavy
personal losses as result Of his deal
inRs with both of these real estate and
promotion houses.
His business relations with the Smith
Co. have attracted greater public at
tention here. although his operations
with Wardman were no less extensive
Coblentz held junior mortgages ON q
number of properties financed here
through Wardman, and when a plan Of
reorganization was put through In, 1923
he was issued $2,225. 900 In dehentures
IN lieu Of his mortgage holdings.
Loss Believed Heavy.
The reorganized properties, however,
recently went into the hands of receiv-
ers, rendering the debentureS held by
Coblentz virtually worthless. In some
quarters he was said to have sustained
a loss equivalent to the face value of
the debentuYeS.
The Maryland banker and politician
first came into prominence in connec-
ton with the Smith Co. at the recent
trial OF G. Bryan Pitts and two other
officers on conspiracy embezzlement
charges.
On December 10 last he took the
witness stand in District Supreme
Court and identified his signature on
a number CT acquisitions purporting to
authorize the taking of money by Pitts,
which the Government claimed had
been en1bezzled.
fequlSitionS were fraudulent, that they
had been prepared and ante dated in
Florida on the eve OF the trial, and
that their only purpose was to mask
the alleged entertainments by Pitts.
This indictment charged CoblentZ with
aiding In the commission Of perjury"
Likely to Stand Trial.
It is expected the banker will have to
stand trial in Washington on this charge
at an early date.
While Cobientz was on the stand, he
was questioned by Assistant Attorney
General Nugcnt Dodds concerning three
notes Of minor Smith Co. employees for
$414;000, which had been held by the
Central Trust Co. This testimony was
admitted over the. strenuous objections
OF defense counsel.
The notes on their faces secured loans
of $4,000. $4,000 and $136.000 to
two stenographers and clerk in the
employe of the Smith Co. Coblentz
said the notes were IL the bank, but
denied he knew the makers were en-
ployes Of the company.
Security Called Worthless.
Dodds brought out the only collateral
security for the notes were general
mortgage bonds Of the Arlington Hotel,
which he described as mot worth three
feathers"
Colblentz said the notes were taken
out Of the bank prior to the trial by
"a syndicate of responsible persons
negotiating land DEAL" He did not
name the individuals in the land deal
and wos not pressed on that point.
He further admitted on cross ex-
animation that he was at Pitts home
in Florida short while before the
trial began.
At one time, Coblentz said, he had
control Of the Law and Finance Build
ing of Pittsburgh, but sold out his
interest to Pitts.

A full Fourth of July means a
day full of patriotic fervor and fun,
and also a stomach full of the good
food which this glorious country,
which celebrates on that day it's Dec
laration of Independence, produces
in such abundant quantities. Well
leave the firecrackers, fireworks and
fiery speeches to you. Make as much
noise, and make the Eagle scream as
loud as the spirit moves you. But
we have some suggestions about the
food which is to fill your stomach
which should prove of interest to
many housewives.
The weather is apt to be hot, so
the food must not be heavy. But the
day Is apt to be hectic, so it must
be filling. In the following suggested
menu and recipes we have attempt
ed to solve that dual problem in
way that will make thisd ay dieteti-
cally as we'll as historically memoir
able. incidentally, these are tested
recipes which will declare free
dom" from anxiety concerning the
culinary perfection of your Fourth
of-July foods.

Roast lamb roll is the state of
Connecticut's favorite dish, accord
ing to information obtained from
1881 Connecticut housewives by
Ralph HitZ. managing director of

Corporation Council Charles S.
O'Connor, in a finding made public
has ruled that it would be legal for
the board of aldermen to grant the
petition of Everett Perkins, repre-
sentative of the Waterbury Milk
Bottle Exchange, special consta Bile
with police powers covering the city
but advises against such a practice
Perkins several weeks ago asked
that he be made a special consta BILE
but Alderman Charles Schmidt, re-
publican leader. questioned the ad-
visibility of so doing on the grounds
that such action would open the way
for other petitioners and would re-
suit in constabulary in the city in
addition to the regular police force.
Perkins looks after milk trucks in
the city for ,the milk bottle ex-
change, making sure that one dealer
is not using another's bottles, and
so on. He felt that if given the ap-
pointment Of special constable with
powers covering the entire city he
could carry on his work better. At
torney O'Connor in his opinion states
that Mr. Perkins can continue his
present activities and rely on a
policeman to do the arresting. There
fore, it is expected that the petition
will be turned down at the next
meeting Of the aldermen.
