The Weather | FAIR AND WARMER FORTIETH YEAR BISMARCK, NORTH DAKOTA, TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 14, 22 THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE[==| PRICE FIVE CENTS ANDY BROW THREE ALLEGED SWINDLES NET MORE THAN $6,500,000, U. S. AGENTS SAY} TO SPEAK HERE NORTH DAKOTA’S FINANCIAL STAR IN ASCENDANCY M. 0. Grangaard, of War Fi- nance Corporation, Sees Im- Proving Conditions in U. S. OUT OF DEPRESSION North Dakota Is Coming Back Faster Than Most States, He Declares North . Dakota more favorable position in the eyes of the financial world, M.-O, Grangaard secretary of Agency of the War Finance Corpora- tion, of Minneapolis, in Bismarck on business, Mr. Grangaard voice the prediction | that North Dakota would come back faster than any other state in the| Northwest from the general business! depression. Conditions generally are; improving, he said,-and the country| at large is emerging slowly but sure-! ly from the ‘depressing period. i “The Minneapolis agency of the! War Finance Corporation approved an; aggregate of $44,000,000 loan applica-: tions,” said Mr. Grangaard. “Of; that amount about $19,000,000 has; been approved for’ North Dakota,| and about $9,000,000 for Minnesota. | The fact that North Dakota approvals are far greater than those of other; states is not because North Dakota is} in any worse shape but because the! bankers of North Dakota are anxious to bring into the state the relief: which the government has _ provided, | ond are aggressively working to that! end.” { The relief afforded by the War Fi-| nance Corporation loans is general inj its application, Mr. Grangaard said. \ “The benefits to the farmer and to the business man are great, and in! spite of the fact that in many in-| stances the loans do not enable the! banks to make new loans, they en-| able the banks to carry loans already | made to farmers and business men! and have avoided the necessity of} ‘forced liquidation, which would surely | have resulted and would have brought | hardships to the farmer and to the business man. The enactment of Con-| gress ‘which put this plan of finance | into operation ‘is ‘one- of the «great-} achievements of the present Congress | and ‘will prove, to be one of the most} is daily gaining a/ the Agricultural Loan! | granted until February 16, bond be- Chicago, Feb. 14.—Investigation | of the dealings of the Western ; Land Operators’ Company, the third concern raided by authori- | thes within three days and _be- Neved by them to have swindled foreign-born citizens of | more than $1,500,000 was under way to- day by government agents. Within three days gigantic alleged swindles totalling ap- proximately $6,500,000 according to conservative estimates by ofil- | cers were disclosed with the ar- | rest Saturday of R. J. Bischoif and the arrests yesterday of three employes of the Western Land Op- erato: Association and three empioyes of the American No- vaculite Company. i Lesiie Harrington, said by po- | lice to be the moving spirit in the aifairs of the American Novae. elite Company and Charles Urn- ich and Charles Phillips, general manager and president of the Western Land Operators Com- pany, are being sought by the po- Ice. The raids on the offices of the Western Land Operators Company was made last night upon the com- plaint of Attorney Sidney Banes, representing 800 creditors. Just as the police have established a connection between the workings of Bischofi and Harrington so have they come to the belief that the Western Land Operators Company was connected with the other two and that the three were aperntine huge swindles jointly. The investigators indicated to- day that the total losses to the families who invested their sav- ings may run much higher than the figures now set at $6,500,000, H.G.BRISSMAN'S | ARREST CAUSED BY J.
