Nakahashi resigned as Home Min

out of the crisis and to pursue a
straightforward intervention policy

PROTECTIVE WORK
TOLD At WARDMAN
PROPERTY HEARING
Operations of BondhoIderS'
Committee Described by
HaIsey, Stuart & Co.
FAIR PRICE SOUGHT
IN BUILDING PURCHASES
SIS, 900 Borrowed From Hanover
Bank and Lien Impressed
to Secure Loan.

Some Of the operations of the Ward
man Bondholders' Protective Committee
were described yesterday by Leonard L.
Stanley, Halsey, Stuart & Co. repre-
sentative, as the hearing on conf1rma-
ton of the recent public sale of 10
Wardman properties here was resumed
in District Supreme Court.
Stanley, who served as chairman Of
the Protective Committee controlling 80
per cent of $11 1,000, 900 Of first and re-
funding mortgage bonds secured by the
properties, was indicted in Milwaukee
several weeks ago in connection with
the sale Of Wardman debenture bonds.
Sought Fair Price.
He said the Protective Committee, in
contemplating the purchase of the
properties, sought a price fair to nom
depositing as well as depositing band
holders" The committee, he said, dis
cussed bids ranging from S2,000,000 to
IS, 10000, and finally decided on ST.
800 900, the figure at which the proper
ties were sold.
A group of non-depositing bondhold-
ers is contesting this sale on the theory
that the price Is not adequate and that
the bankers and others were guilty OF
fraud In connection with the sale.
Stanley said the committee had bor-
rowed $4,000 from the Central Han
over Bank & Trust Co, corporate
trustee under the mortgage and de-
pository for the bonds, and had I'M
pressed a lien on the deposited bonds
to secure this loan. He said the COM
mittee also had paid $4,000 to the
Prudence Co. for 90-day option on
a loan for reorganization purposes.
This loan was not consummated, he
said, when the reorganization sale
failed to go through as expected. An
official of the Prudence Co. served on
the Bondholders' Committee, 1t was
said
Some $4,000 of the committees
funds, he said, had gone to Halsey,
Stuart g. Co. for various expenses IN
Owned About 100000.
The witness said Halsey. Stuart & Co.
owned about 100000 of the debentures.
One of the principal objections to the
confirmation of the sale has been,
according to the objectors, that the
proposed reorganization will place the
stock control of the new owning COM
pany in the hands of the debenture
holders, instead of giving control to
the holders of the first and refunding
mortgage, prior lien.
One of the minority attorneys said
he wanted to show that the directors
of the old Wardman company paid
$4,000 interest on the debentureS when
it was known there would shortly be
default In the bonds, and that the
reorganization plan, through inequitable
stock distribution, will give control OF
the new owning company to the holders
Of these same debentures." Justice F.
D. Let's ruled, however, that he could
not pursue this line Of inquiry because
it was not germane to the question OF
the fairness of the sale or the adequacy
of the price.

Story of Investigation Charge
Crops Up Again and Again
Has No Foundation.

Elwood Street, director of the Com

deny story that has cropped up, from
an unknown source during every Com

The story, Mr.. Street said, is that a
Chest subscriber gave the Chest $40
to be given to a particular individual,
and that the man in need only re-
ceived 81, the remaining So being used
by the Chest for Investigation"
This story, Mr.. Street said, has been
whispered in one form or another ever
since there has been Chest and has
absolutely no foundation in fact.
In the first place" he declared. 9the
Chest does not accept contributions
for individuals and in the second place,
If it did receive such contributions,
there certainly would be no charge for
handling. The story is, as usual, a lie
out of the whole cloth"
