Btory of the firm's Rise and Fall— Threats of a Damage Suit— Bryan Not Making Deals. The moro the failure of the Brown Bros. is investigated the worse the muddle appears, and ugly charges are belog mads agaiust the Browns, The latter claim that they can pull out if given a chaace, but their explanation of how they are going to do it is rather vague and unsatisfactory. It may seem incrodible that Brockman, the St. Louis commission man, should have ud- vanced $75,000 before discovering tho alleged fraud, but he says it was all dono within & period of two or threo weeks, The magni tude of the business may bo inferred from the fact that there wore cighty-threo cars of grain on track at Council Bluffs w ono day recortly. Key to the Situation, The Union elevator at that have been 10 the Bro: point seoms to e key to the scheme attributed us, and a very ccuvenient one it was. For the information of those un famil- far with such matters it may be explained that in shipping a carload of grain the sender gots from the railroad company a bill of lading, which serves as a receipt. In order 10 get tho grain when it reaches its destina- tion the bill of lading must be given up to the railroaa, which is then released from furcher liability. Here comes in a complication in this case. ‘The railroads have made a practice of giving what thoy term a “milling in trausit rate;’ that s, interior shippers have beon kiven'a low through rato to eastorn markets with tho privilege of stopping tho grain in transit, milling it and then sending on the product. In like munner the Brown Bros, have hud a through rate with the privilege of stopning the grain at the Union elevator to be cleancd and then resnippod. some Severe Charges. Brockmau charges that in_some cases tho Browns had grain shipved to the Union ele- vator for “Brown Bros, of St. Louis i care of Brown Bros,, Omaba.” On the vills of lading the Browns drow on the St. Lous mau and got their cash. After,the grain had been cleaned at the elovator it was reshipped over one of the Jowa roads to Chicago or Baltimore, the Browns claiming thut they could zet better prices cast Brockman had an_agree- ment under which he was to reccive a half a cont a bushel commission on a!l grain handled by the Browns, so he didu’t care where it was sold. He now charges that a great deal of this gram has disappeared, that he has not been paid by the ' eastern buyers ana that tho Browns have not roimbursed bim. He concludes that in reshipping the grain the Browns got now biils of lading from the fowa roads and used them in making drafts on tho east- ern buyers, thus, apparently getting doublo prico for the grain aug lotting Brockman whistle for his money. There is sull another teresting manipulation. Some of the Ne- braska buyers who have beeu shippiug to tho Brown Bros. have been in the habit of sonding them the bill of lading by mait_and then drawing on them through a local bank without a bill attached to the draft. The vill onabled tho Browns to get the grain from the railroad, and in a number of cases the drafts have been dishonored. Very Cheap Grain Apparertly, then, the Browns got the grain for noteng and sold it for doublo price. 1t 13 ouly fair to the Browns, however, to state that they dony the allegations of fraud and assert that the tanglo will be straightenod out if they aro given a chance to doit. They threaten to suo- Brockmun for $0,000 dam- ages, 1t is mpossiblo to say how. much money or* how many dealers aro involved in the fail- branch to this in- ure. The Browns haa elevators or cribs at fourleen or fifteen stations on the Union Pacific, but there wero about 100 dealers at other points shipping to them. They insist that when they wave Brockman & biil of salo on their eievators and grain he promised to continue to advance money to keop the business going. Thoy charge nim with a breach of faitn in vaking possession and shutting them out. Wanted to Get Liven, It 18 stated that Brockman, as soon as ho got control of the Union elovator, began to ship out tho grain in storage withav to making himself whole, This proceeding was stopped by au order of court on the petition of the Citizens’ State bank of Council Bluffs, which had advanced 5,000 or §,000 on fifteon or twenty bills of lading. Itis estimated that the élevator now contains seventy-five oreighty cars of grain. About the ssmo numoer areon track, and alittle swarm of claimauts are after them, Lhe bill of salo to not ouly covered belonging to Brown Br storage and in trausit. It is asserted that the clause covering the grain in_teansit will not hold water in law, and the original shippers, whoso drafts on the Browns went 10 protest, ave here recovering their property by replevia suits. Taey are enablea to identify their grain in the unloaded cars by the numbers of the cars and are having Iittle troublo 1 getting it back. The grain which bas gone into storage is, of course, in- distinguishablo from tho mass, and it'bas been tied up by attachment suits, Still Other Claimants, Thero is still another class of claimants, of which H. J. Gunn of Loxiugton, now in_the city, is a sample. Ho shipped Brown Bros, o car of grain worth about 75 but drow on them for ovly &). Haviug at- tached the bill of lading 0 the araft he got the faco of that, but ho is whistling for tho extra 5. This is a common vractice, and many interior shipvers have claims againsy the Browas for margins of this kind. New claims aro putting in an - appearance almost overy hour, and it is impos- sible to tell how much of @& loss is involved in the failure, though Mr. Brockman is quoted as estimating 1t ut $100,- 000, The query arises, what has becomo of the money! A geatloman who is familiar with somd of the inside affairs suys: Causes of the Lrouble. “Idonot believe the Browns have ‘salted down’ auy monoy, to speak of. [ think they havo used it to wipe out o 1ot of personal ob ligations. You sce thore is a Brown Bros. Grain company, and then the individuals of the firm havo had other oxtousive business interests. Thoy have borrowed money to carry on various eutorprises, and I think they have used the receipts from the Grain company 10 Wwipe out those obligations. already roferred th buildings , but the grain in Coarles’ Brown married 1nto the family of Jerry Chapman, the banker at Cortland. "Mr, Chapman and a s0n endorsed paper for tho Browns and some of that has boen paia off. Tho Browns also floated aome of thelr paper through Omaha brokers, and perhaps had similar arrange- meuts with brokers elsewhore, so that tho local banks would hardly know how heavily thoy were loaded up. They mude such an allianco with Charles B. Hiwley of Lincoln, who loaned money for parties living at Dixon, 1l Hawloy was to raise them §100,- 000 during the year, and #s & commission for bis part in the affair they gave him in ad- vance their not for §,000. Hawley failed to nogotiate the loans s ho asreed ana the Browus have aliowed tho 8,600 uoto to o to protest. It is in the hands of a third party and the mater, I think, is now in tho courts. Lost on a Law > uit, Somo time ago the Browns wore dealing with Fowler & Co. of Chicago. A disputo arose botween them und Fowler sued for 000, claimed as dus from the Browns. Tho matter was referred to au arbitration com- mittee, which gave Fowler a verdict for sbout hulf the amount claimed. Somo months ago the Browns sold a street rallway at Lincoin ruoning from tho Capital hotel to the Wesleyan university The prico was §5,000, but it was mortgaged for about half that sum. Tho balance was paid with long time puper, which the Browns immediately hypothecated. They have had cousiderablo paper falling duo that could not be renewed, and tho indications are that thoy have been witharawiug money from the grain business to wipe out obligations lucurred in other THE OMAHA DAILY h()\PMBP R 25, 1801 5 directions, because if the Brown brothers ns [ indi failure of tho Brown Bros. Grain company." Irafts Coming In. It transpires that drafts on the Brown Bros, company are constantly coming in, and whero they are accompanied with a bill of lading and have a margin Mr. Brockman {8 paying them ana tak- ing possession of the grain, For examplo, a car containing 8205 worth of grain was shipped from Central City, and the senders drew only $200. Brockman paid tho draft, took the grain and intimated that thoe shipper would liave to look to Brown Bros. for the margin of $55. Charles [ddiugs of North Platto was caugnt in a snap some- what similar to this, and he has taken steps to sue Brockman for the unpald mar- gins. The clevators and cribs conveyed by Brown Bros to Brockman by the bill of sale are not extensive siructures, and the valuo of the whole lot Lias boen estimated at only 20,000, Badly Mixed. ‘“Tho affair is badly mixed,” said Manager Taylor of Bradstreet's, *“and thoe stories of the opposing parties are conflicting, so that I do not care to nake a statement. ‘Thero is one thing, however, that Tue Ber can do that will be a qr"ill sorvice to the commercial interests of Nebras! and that is to call at- tention to the lax manner 1n which many men do business, Here are a number of interior deazers, it is charged, who have shipped grain ' to the rowns, seat tho bills of lading o the con by mail and drawn on them the local banks without bills of drafts, What was uence!

Thero is then no chance for fraud, and it may be the salvation of many a man caught by a failure like that of the Browns, 1 wish lading attached to the the consc scoros Browns went to the w Tie Bee would make a note of this point for the benefit of the dealers through tho state who have been careless abont protecting themselves.” Whno Will Foot the Bill? Grain men are very much interested in knowing who will have to bear the loss growing out of the alloged mauipulations of the Brown Bros., and the_prevailing opinion among them is that the Union Pacific will haveto foot the bill, Some vears ago Mr. H. C. Miller, who has an oftice in the Board of Trade building, was located at Fort Madison and buying grain for the W. P. McLaren company of Chicago. Just before the concern failed ho received instructions to bill shipments, “To order W. P, McLaron company, Chicago.” The Me- Laren peoplo took tho bills of lading to o bank and put them up as collateral for aloan, Thoy then notified the railroad of the ~ incoming consignments and asked that they be immmediately snipped to designated parties at eastorn’ points, which done was. The grain firm used the second lot of bills of lading at another bank for drafts on tie eastorn consigneo. When the failure revealed tho true situa- tion the first bank sued the railroad for the value of the grain represented by its bills of lading and got a judgment. ‘T'hat case established an_important proce- dent and resulted in the strict railroad regulations pertaining to bills of lading. C. T. Brown's Story. Mr. C. T. Brown was scen last night by a Bre reporter. Heo denied emphatically many of the statements that had been currently roported concerning tho firm's transactions with Mr. Brockman of St. Louis. Mr. Brown said that Brockman loaned the firm £25,000 upon their personal notes with the under- standiog that tho firm should ship him a considerable amount of grain. “\Vo were under no obligations to ship Brockman all the grain wo handled, though,” said Mr. Brown. *‘We had a perfect right to ship grain to Cincinnati, Chicago, Baltimore or elsewbere if weso desired, We never agreed to give Mr. Brockman 1 cent com- “mission upon grain shipped to other markets, We mortgaged our fourteon elevators to Mr. Brockman o few weeks ago because wo needed more monoy or greater credit to handle the yolume ~of business. We were running somo days as high as 220,000 and a blockade of cars on the railroad for'a couple of days would tie us up. Wo needed more margin of credit to run on, and in order to get it we gave that mortgage. Agreed to Cash ‘I heir Drafts. “Mr. Broskwan agreed to cash our drafts after this and to pay for 316,500 worth of grain then on the wuy and for which we had drawn upon him. These agreements ne abruptly broke by refusing to honorour drafts. Had he honored our drafts as he had agreed to do thera would have been no at- ments upon our grain by the shippers. Mr. Brockman failod to carcy out his part of tho agreement iu overy particular.” Spouking of the suit instituted against the firm by the Fowler Elevator company some months ago, he said that the Fowler company sued for #0,000 and the arbitrators allowed them a judgment for &4,000. The story about Charles H. Hawloy un- dortaking to negoiiate a loan for us,” said Mr. Brown, “for $100,000 is all moonshine, Tho varn about our firm giving himour notes for §3,600 as a commission for his services is absolutely false. There is not a word of truth in tho story or anythlng like it. You bave also beon told in the papers that our clevators were only worth about §20,000. "They cost us just $45,000, and they are as 2ood as when they wero built, so you seo that part of tho story will not’ hold™ water. The whole story is full of glaring inconsis- toucies and is to a larzo extent the produc tion of somobody’s imagination, NOT MAKING DEALS. The Bryan Commission Company Still Taking a Rest. The doors of the office of the Bryan Com- mission company were opon as usual yester- day. The telegraph operators wero as busy 8s in days of yore, receiving quotations on wheat, oats and corn, but not a dollar was passing over tho desk. Tho usual number of porsons of 8 spoculative turn of mind lingered in the room intently watening tho figures as thoy were placed upon the vlackboard, ladicating ths state of the market. Somo of these samo porsons wero long, while others were on the short side of Decomber wheat and corn. Not one of them however, madn an attempt to protect tho margins, and iu the language of the buckot shop, “let tho tail go with the hide." Tho Bryan company was not taking any deals, and the fact gave rise to unpleasant rumors about the Board of Trade. Mr. Bryan was not about the premises during tho day. Oue of his men in speaking of the failure to veceive trades stated that the fact in no way indicatod a failure, Mr. Bryan, he said, was simply figuring on atransfor of the business toother parties and as s00n as the deal was consummated tho commissiou business would bo carried on by tho new firm. Tho change he thought would tak o place within a couple of aays. The Bryan company 15 one of tho oldest in the city, and with it, in the language of the street, "-‘!Ih]flll has been a hard road to travel.” "Ben B.

Now members wero brought in, howevever, and the firm goton its feet by forming o stook compauy with a capital of §250,000, Shortly after the open board was startod and ready for business tho company rented its present elegaut quartors on the first floor of tho Life builaing. No exponse was spared in fitting up the room. Marblo counters wera put in, cherry and mahogany furniture helped to make the place attractive and telegraph wires wero run tothe four corners of the globe.

SUSTAINING MARKET, Milling and Transit Rate Requested of Railroad Manngers, Lixcory, Neb., Nov. 24.—[Special to Tur B, | —I'he State Board of Transportation met 1 special session at 11:30 o'clock today to listen t a petition from the Omaha Board of Trade, Secretary Nason of the Omaha board stated that the grain men of the me- tropolis were working hard to maintain tho open grain market established October 2, and that they were meeting with gratifying success; but they wero still handicapped by the rogulations of the railroad companies running 1 and out of the city. The Omaha dealers want a milling and transit rate, or, in other words, a through rate with a stopover privilege. Witn such @ rate a shipper in western Nevraska can bill his grain to Chicazo on a through rate, but can, if ho 8o desires, unload tho g have it inspected, cleaned, weighed or stored for any length of time, thus giving hin the full benetits of the new warehouse and in- spection 1aw.

They wished to do whatever they could along the linos suggested, but did uot care to lay themselves liable to prosocution by the [uterstate Commerce commission for crimination or manipulation of rates. Mr. Nason asked the State Board of Trausporta- tion to formulate a lotter to the railway man- agers recommending that the petition of the Omaha grain dealers bo granted. This tho board finally agreed to do and Attorney G oral Hastings was wstructed to draft the let- ter, which he afterwards did, as follows: Doar Sir: At a meeting of the Board ot Transportation held at Lincoln, November 21, ho question of granting to the grain and elevator men doing business in the stute of Nebraska. what 18 known as the “milling and transit rato” was presented to the board, and after being fully advised ro- hie concessions propose 1. the of the opinlon tint th ain at Omaba, 2,000 curs of grain bave beon lnspect inspection department under law stopped in lrnxl‘ll at such plac {\vhrn‘ publie inspection or storazo o weligheda, spected or stored as ay desre und ien reshippe \ rate. would b ecople of Ly recor end thut such rate and shipment be established by the ad cor doing businéss in ully ask t AtOT men b mpitec withs BOARD OF TRANSPORTATION, A membor of the Board of Transportation said to Tie BEE reprosentative today that the muddle over the grain inspectorship was likely to be settied in a very summary mau- ner and vory quickly, too.
