STORY OF CROOKED DEAL-|THE MENACE OF “GRAFT.” INGS BY CASHIER OF es SALMON INSTITUTION AT CLINTON AS TOLD BY EXAMINER COOK. Clinton, Mo., June 29.—The man- ner in which the Salmon & Salmon Bank betrayed, cheated and robbed its best friends is shown by the fol lowing incidents, the truth of which are vouched for by R. M. Cook, the State Bank Examiner, who ts now finishing an examination of the bank’s affairs: Two years ago. when George M Casey, the short-horn cattle king of America, failed for a half million dollars in this county, the Salmon & Salmon Bank was embarrassed by it and Thos. M. Casey, a son of Geo. M. Casey, undertook to help out his father, who was threatened with crim- inal prosecution. Thomas M. Casey went to W. W. Adameon,a rich farmer andalifelong friend, and asked Adamson to go with him to Kansas City to indorse some paper upon which Casey hoped to borrow money to tide over his father’s trouble. Adamson could not An Oberlin College Speech on Boodle’s Far-Reaching Effects. Oberlin, 0., July 1—James B. Dill, of New York, in the course of a speech to the graduating class of Oberlin college, gave a scathing rebuke to men who misuse positions ot honor and trust for the purpose of personal gain. In urging his hearers to go “back to beginnings,” Mr. Dill contended that “grafting,” which was foreign to the true American character, had been developed by the mad rush for wealth and the recogni tion of false standards by educated men in the competitive etruggle for business power and social promi- nence. He sald in part: Alarge part of our modern pros- perity is to a perilously large extent bottomed upon an overproduction of fraud and eham. The crisis is acute. A feeling of distrust is growing throughout the country. Many branches of financial business have | q been in one way or another taken possession of by the unscrupulous for the purpose of deceiving the unwary.

Later, when Casay had returned from Kan- sas City, he told Adamson thatitdid not become necessary for him to use the notes, and that he had not used them. Adamson asked him to re- turn the notes. “I tore them up,” sald Casey. Since the failure of the Salmon bank, Mr. Cook found these notes. They were filled in by Casey for sums aggregating $17,900 and were hy- pothecated by him as follows: One for $9,800 in the hands of the Commonwealth Trust Co., of St. Louis; one isin the hands of Wiley We have the largest retall haress and saddlery store in the southwest and our harness are all made at home.
