on their portrait of Samuel insult as
O financial malefactor
Testimony about huge losses they
charge were hidden from the stock
holders of the Corporation Securities
Co. went into the building record
OF the mail fraud case against insult
and Is others. Coupled with 1t were
details Of inter company loans just
before the insult Utility System col
lapsed. The Government may con-
clude its charges Monday.
Two more charts-No. % and No.

prosecutors offered their X-ray of

ferences Of more than $57 900 900 on
how the company Jared in 1880 and
in 1881, when stock in Corp" was al
legedly being urged on small investors.
Federal Judge James H. Wilkerson
ruled down defense Attroney Floyd
Thompson and he objected to the
use Of the charts. Judge Wilkerson
closed the subject of charts by quot
ing q decision that to exclude them
would cause great delay and tend to
confuse the Jury"
Huling testified that, although pub

ported net income of $3.50, 1901 its
first quarter, ending December 81.
1929, his own study of the books
showed a loss of $614,154.
The corporation was an investment
trust, but when the slide of stock
market prices took millions from the
value Of its securities this depreciation
was concealed, Huling said.
When his companies were hard
pressed in 1881, Insull-with a private
fortune once estimated at 100000
oo0-borrowed in his own name, ac-
cording to records read to the jury.

on a $4,000, 900 loan from the National
City Bank Of New York, he pledged a
total OF 5000 shares of stock loaned
him for this purpose by directors of

Along with lending securities to
other insult companies, the corpora
tion loaned cash, in the last three
months Of 1881 according to other

Of one person, the wounding Of two

point-blank at the family seated
about the dinner table.
Mrs. jamie Carter, sister Of Rogers,
was in critical condition today from

for the Staying.

DARROW BOARD TO END YORK
WITH REPORT DUE THIS WEEK

hat belonging to Hugh s. johnson
He had gone riding with his N. r. A.
opponent few days ago and picked
up the hat by mistake after having
started out bareheaded. Yesterday
he chuckled over the hat and toyed
with the idea Of keeping it as q SOU
venir Of his encounter.
Other members Of the board which
denounced N. r. A. and was de-
nounced in turn by johnson and his
aides, are going quietly about their
own affairs. At least two Of their
number had been down to N. r. A.
within the last day or two, apparently
with the idea of seeing whether some
sort of board on behalf of small busi-
ness was not to be kept and whether
they might not be kept with it.
There was little encouragement at
N. r. A., however, and whether Presi-
dent Roosevelt intends to establish q
successor agency to study code COM
plants has not been said.

VIENNA, May 26.-Apprehensive ru-

Austrian situation aroused Vienna to-

The rumors apparently were based
on 80 Socialist and Communist DEM

evening which police found difficult to
disperse.
Police said special precautionary
measures were necessary to forestall
any attempts at sabotage in tomor-
rows nation wide celebration Of
Youth day.
Citizens lately have been hearing
whispers-particularly since the Bull
garian coup d'etat-that something
similar" was to be expected soon in

"Oh, well, it won't hurt the board.
Our second report will be done next

The veteran attorney was vague
about his own plans, except that he
