The craze for speculation reached him. however, and ho began dabbling in stocks and grain several years ago. He was successful for a time, hut losses followed and he tried to recoup. One year he is reported to have made $200,000. only to have lost it a month or so later. Ropke had been ir. the employ of the bank for eighteen years. One day about, two weeks ago a shortage of $6000 was accidentally discovered by one of Ropke's assistants and the mat- | ter was reported to his superiors. This resulted In Ropke's arrest.

"I am not here to talk to men who believe as 1 do, for it is only the sick that need a physician. The people have found thai competition is Impos sible In gas, electric light, water and other public utilities.
