BANK'S LOANS SECURED Greater Part of the Assets of Lam- precht Bros. & Co, Defunct Bro- kers, Is Put Up as Security for Money Borrowed, Leaving Little for the Creditors Who Were Dealing Through the Concern. Cleveland, Feb. 1s.—Receiver Bush- nell states that in his opinion the liabilities of the defunct firm of Lam- precht Bros. & Co., bankers and bro- kers, would reach approximately $1, 250,000. The assets, he said, would fall far below this amount and as a result the customers of the house would doubtless suffer heavy loss. “All the banks are fully secured,” said Mr. Bushnell, “and they will not lose a dollar. It is not as if the assets were to be equally distributed. In this case the greater part of the as- sets have been used to obtain loans to take care of the difficulties in which the Lamprecht concern found itself prior to the failure. The stocks and shares so used are thus taken out of calculations for the general liabilities, leaving the loss to be borne by that portion of creditors who were custom- ers.” FEARED DEFEAT AT POLLS Alderman Kohout of Chicago Ends Life by Shooting. ¢ Chicago, Feb. 18.—Alderman Joseph F. Kohout, long a Democratic leader in the city council, committed suicide by shooting himself in the head in the basement of his home. The poli- ticlan had gone to the basement while his wife was preparing breakfast. As he did not return she went in search of him and found him dead with & revolver by his side. He was par- tially dressed and the impulse to com- mit suicide seemed to have come to him suddenly. Alderman Kohout was ‘a candidate for re-election, but was a participant in a spirited contest for his seat in the council. During the term of Mayor Dunne Alderman Kohout was one of the mayor’s staunchest supporters and was one of the leaders of the council. He was & lawyer and about fifty years old. Disappointment over the fallure of his ward club to endorse him for re- nomination 1is supposed to have prompted the suicide. JURY: NOT YET COMPLETE Twenty-third Day of Cooper Murder Trial at Nashville. Nashville, Tenn., Feb. 13.—With scarcely a handful of the 419 venire- men summoned .to be there court should be established here instead of | opened on the twenty-third day of the trial of .Colonel Duncan B. Cooper, Robin J. Cooper and John D. Sharpe for the murder of former Senator H. W. Carmack. The outlook for obtain- ing the twelfth juror was not partic- ularly bright. The state has three peremptory challenges left, but the defense has thirty-nine. Of the last venire of 500 only seven men quali- fied and six of these were challenged. “Theoretically that would result in failure to get a jury,” said Judge Hart, “and while such a result is possible I consider it very improbable. I pro- pose to get & jury if it takes another month. I shall make use of the list of taxpayers in the assessor’s office for the next venire should one be needed.” CARL LOOSE FOUND GUILTY Convicted of Murder In the First Degree, New York, Feb, 18.—The jury in the case of Carl Loose, on trial for the killing of his sixteen-year-old daughter, brought in a verdict of mur- der. in the first degree.
