first-second 4s are few and far be
tween, but it is noteworthy that when
ever any demand has appeared for
this bond recently a substantial ad
vance in the price has resulted.
There is only a small amount of this
issue outstanding, there being approxi
mately ?3, 384, 000. The bonds result
ed from the conversion of the 3s of
Ithe first loan into bonds of the Fourth
I Liberty Loan of Oct. 24, 1918, conver
Ipion being made before April 24, 1919.
j Reason outstanding amount of this
i bond is so small is because the oppor
;4 14s had previously heeea presented2
j tunity for converting 3 per cent,
j bonds into 4Vi per cents had pre
! vious:y been prresented with the Third
j Liberty Loan, bearing 4 per cent.,

! outstanding of these converted bonds,

Just why there should be any par
ticular demand for first-second 4 l-4s
is not apparent. Both the first 4 l-4s
and the second 4 l-4s bear the same
coupon dates and are 15-30-year bonds,
the same as the first 3 l-2s. The only
difference between this bond and the
First Liberty Loan converted 4 l-4s
(issue of May 9, 1919 the Third Lib
erty Loan) is that the issue of October
24, 1919, is exempt as to the interest on
not to exceed S30.000 of bonds reffard-
less of one's subscription to the Fourth

THE STOCK MARKET
New York, Oct. 3. Shares of the
more popular issues were freely of
fered at the- opening of today's stock
market, the selling hein-g attributed
to the same factors which brought
about yesterday's irregular movement.
Crucible Steel was again the weak
feature, losing 6 points. Declines in
allied issues ranged from 1 to 2 points,

NOW IN POWER I iJ2N Fall M I
Fargo, X. D., Oct. 3 The Scandinavian-American
Bank of Fargo was
yesterday declared insolvent by the
State Banking Board and was order
ed placed in the hands of a receiver.
Violations of the state banking law
are charged by the Banking Board.
The bank's liabilities are $1,606,
S47.43, but depositors are protected
against loss by the State Guaranty of
Beposits act.
The bank's association with the
Xational Xon-partisan League, for
which it has acted in a financial ca
pacity for about two years, is largely
responsible for yesterday's action, ac
cording to the oiiicial report of the
bank's condition. A. E. Sheetz, As-
i si&tant Attorney General, and two
j deputy bank examiners, who have
: been in the bank since last Sunday
afternoon, placed before the Banking
Board the iv'ormation on which yes
terday's action w.as based, and in his
report Jlr. Sheetz characterizes the
bank as "a vast, unwieldly financial
monstrosity unable to take care of
its obligations."
Conditions which have contributed
to the alleged insolvency of the bank,
as given in the report of the Assistant
Attorney General and the Bank Ex
aminers include, among others, loans
of $170,000 to the Consumers United
Stores Co., S143,S24.2tj to the Nation
al Xon-Partisan League, SdiJ.1S2.2S to
the League Exchange, and $47,930.00
to the Publishers' Xational Service
Bureau. Excess loans, that is. loans
made to companies and to individuals
in excess of the legal limit of loans
which may be made by the bank on
the basis of its 350,000 capital and
$10,000 surplus, are plactvl in the ex
amination report at 7rt4,194.S2
Th consumers United Stores Com
pany is a private mercantile establish
ment captalized at $10,000, controlled
by A. C. Townley, President of the
Xon-Partisan League. The League
Exchange is a corporation also or
ganized by Mr. Townley, controlled
by him. and which he some time ago
testified in bankruptcy proceedings
was intedned to finance the Xon
Partisan League's political activities.
The Publishers' Xational Service
Bureau is a corporation which owns
n:id controls a string of country news
papers in Xorth Dakota. It was also
organized by Mr. Townley and is in
tended to control country newspapers
financed by farmer members of the
Xon-Partisan League. The Xational
Xon-Partisan League itself as a "vol
untary association" and no personal
responsibility for the league's debts
is attached to the membership.
A further startling revelation in
the report is that several hundred
thousand dollars of collateral, such as
post-dated checks, notes. &c, given
to the Xon-Partisan League and the
Consumers Store Company are, it is
charged, not even controlled by the
bank, but are in charge of a woman
in the employ of the league and the
Consumers Store company. Of the
collateral supposed to be in the bank
supporting loans to the Consumers
Store Company, the report by the as
sistant Attorney General and the
deputy bank examiners discloses
that much of it has been taken out
of the bank and is in the hands of
the Consumers Store Company, which
A. C. Townley, President of the Xon
Partisan League, is now personally
promoting.
;er urging
TREATY SO ARMY
Ratification Would Dimin
insh Great Military Out
lays, He Says.
Washington, Oct. 3 Secretary of
War Baker, in a statement issued last
night through the League to Enforce
Peace, urged the ratification of the
Versailles Treaty, including the
League of Xations, as a means of
enabling the United States to reduce
the size of its military establishments.
With the League of Xations in oper
ation, he says, "great military out
lays" now made necessary by this
country, could be appreciably dim
inished. "I believe that if the League of
Nations, is approved, and goes into
operation," said the Secretary, "it
will be easily possible for us speedily
to drinish the size of our military
establishment decrease the size of
he army, and stop spending money,
In part at least, for these great mili
tary outlays. Enough force would
be apportioned by agreement among
the nations of the world to keep the
civilized world safe from aggression
by barbarians, but if this League does
not go through, who can foresee the
extent of the armament which every
great nation will have to undertake?
"Personally, I believe that we
would go back into the condition
which obtained in Europe at the time
this war was declared. We will have
to go a long way beyond what Ger
many and France did in those days,
we will have to arm to the teeth,
because the failure of this institution
as a means of justice among nations
will necessitate each nation being
armed strongly enough to keep itself
protected from any combination of
aggressors which may be formed
against it."
The many friends of John Bevans of
574 Ifoward' avenue will be pleased to
know thrt he has recovered from his
injuries and is perparing ts leave St.
Vincent's hospital- where he was con
fined for several days.
