UNIVERSITY
STOCKJOBBING STILL O N
PIGHT I S RENEWED FOR THE
CONTROL OF THE UNIVERSITY
DAILY. Minnesota Daily stock, on which
there was such a run last week, is
again in demand at the university, and
the two factions fighting for control
of the paper are competing with each
other in buying up the floating shares.
Altho no new stock can be issued, ac
cording to the rule of the directors,
several students have held old shares
and are now offering them to the high
est bidder. Stock with a face value
of $3 sold in the library corridor this
morning for $5, and the fraternity fac
tion has a standing offer of this amount
for shares.
The renewal of interest in the fight
is due to the fact that the meeting of
the stockholders at which editors will
be chosen for the coining year will be
held next Monday, and the shares are
so evenly divided that it is impossible
to tell whether the "barb" or frater
nity faction is in control.

uies, and had nothing at hand to re
fresh his memory, so the attorney was
obliged uso his best judgment in
figuring out what concerns were meant.
The revelations as to the system of
Mr. Bigelow in conducting" large af
fairs are such as to stagger the belief
of bankers, to whom method in such
transactions is as a second nature.
Filing the petition in bankruptcy
will necessitate the withdrawal of the
securities turned over by Mr. Bigelow
to the First National bank, as being
made within four months of the filing
of the petition in bankruptcy, it con
stitutes an act of preference of cred
itors, and the amount, estimated at
$300,000, will be equally divided among
all the creditors. This will in no way
affect the bank, however, as the guar
antee of the directors and stockhold
ers more than covers the defalcation.
The schedule of Bigelow's assets and
liabilities, as filed, is as follows:

Payne Estate Intact.
The Henry C. Payn-e estate is abso
lutely intact, according to George
Miller. I amounted to $700,000, but
neither executor of the estate could
transact business without tho sanction
of tho other.

creditor, altho the result.in either case
would haVe been the same.
Margin Check Was Seen.
Altho it has been generally uhder^
stood that Bigelow's downfall was
caused thru speculation in the: wheat
market, no evidence has been* brought
to the surface that established a con
nection until today, -when a man who
will not permit his name to be men
tioned, said that he had. seen a cash
ier's check for $115,000 made payable
to Tracy & Co. of Chicago and signed
by Henry G.Goll..
It waslast January -when this check
was made out,, and it
acceptedwassamsu
a matteiv
of course'thatis the
to cover margins in which Frank G.
Bigelow and Henry Goll were inter
ested thru Gordon Bigelow, who was
then connected with the Chicago firm
of brokers.
Frank Bigelow has never acknowl
edged that the stolen money was used
in wheat speculation in fact, it ap
pears as tho he had endeavored to dis
prove this suspicion, but without suc
cess, and it is generally accepted that
the money went into the wheat pit.
Among Board of Trade men here it
is known that Gordon Bigelow was
frequently in deals of such magnitude
that a fortune was at stake in margins,
and it is accepted that this check rep
resented losses iu perhaps a single deal.

His Home and Furnishings.
Included in the schedule is Mr. Bige
low's home, on which he places a
valuation of $40,000, which, less the ex
emption allowed by law on a home
stead, is valued at $35,000. This sched
ule of assets is as follows:
Furniture, $36,000 horses, $2,000
carriages, $2,000: books, $10,000
house, $40,000. Total, $90,000.
Excluding the face value of the life
insurance policies, the estimated value
of the assets, according to Mr. Bige
low's figures, is about $1,844,800, but
Mr. Spooner says these figures will be
subject to considerable change, as soon
as the exact value of these assets is de
termined. He said it was probable
there would be a considerable change
in these totals, both of the liabilities
an-d of the assets.
Bank Officials Astounded.
The news of Mr. Bigelow's obliga
tions to other banks in the United
States and of the use of trust funds of BUNDAY SCHOOL ASSOCIATION AL-
estates astounded some of tho officials
of the First National ban'k, who had
been loth to believe rumors that Bige
low had been obtaining money from
outside sources.
The verification, of the report that
the Brodhead estate is loser to the ex
tent of $100,000 is contained in the pe
tition' in bankruptcy, as Bigelow con
fesses to have used this amount of the
estate's funds. An investigation of
Altho not a'pcrrrianent resident of
Chicago, Gordon' Bigelow managed to
make iiis presence, known whenever he
came to the city. 'One of his intimates
was a well-known age'n't for a cham
pagne house.
Man's Prodigality Shown.
"When Gordon and his friend met
there was something doing." said a
man who met them occasionally. "Wine
flowed like water and everybody in
sight was at liberty to join in the
merry-making. There are lots of
stories about wine-drinkin'g bouts, some
of which show the prodigality of the
man. This was in his younger days,
before he was married."
"It is generally believed that young
Bigelow furnished the roll for a 'book
maker last summer and instructed him
to waive the limit." said a follower of
the races last night, "but he called a
halt when the 'bookie' dropped about
$25,000 for him. Bigelow was given1
to taking a flyer on the ponies or would
woo fortune on the green cloth, but his
wmings or losses were rarely heavy
enough to excite comment.''

SPAIN'S KING IS SANE,
DIDN'T SLAP ADMIRAL
Washington, April 27.Senor Merino,
temporary charge d'affaires of the
Spanish legation, called on Secretary
Taft yesterday to enter formal denial of
a story recently published to the effect
that the king of Spain is showing signs
of an unbalanced mind, as evinced by
his publicly slapping the face of one of
the most distinguished of Spain's naval
officers, Admiral Chacon. The secre
tary was convinced by Senor Merino's
statement, for it was shown that not
only was the king 300 miles away from
Madrid at the time of the reported oc
currence, but that Admiral Chacon had
been dead for four ycarsv
