This morning the pawn- broker sent for Mr. Manger to come over with the diamonds, as he was ready to set- te.

SUED HIS FORMER PARTNERS | Real Estate Men Will Qaarrel Over a For- tune in Court, WILL G. ALBRIGHT’S LATEST ‘'CHOICE"” Clalms Ho Was Swindled Out of Over One Hundred Thousand Dollurs by Arthur H. Cooley and Arthur Ei His Former Business Assoclates. “I thoughtthe boys were honest, and did not diecover my error until I found I had been beaten out of a fortune,” Is the reason W. G. Albright, the well known real estate man, gives for a suit for 100,000 commenced agalnst Arthur H. Cooley and Arthur East, his former partners and business assoclates. The suit was filed in the district, court Thursday evening by Cowin & McHugh, Mr. Albright’s attorneys. The petition re- cites that on the first day of January, 1887, the plaintiff, Albright, and A. H. Cooley, en- tered into copartnership for the transact- fon of the real estate business, in which Mr. Albright had been engaged for some time. Mr. Albright was to be the active outside man of the firm, while Mr. Cooley was to have general charge of the office and inside business. At that time, and for sev- eral years afterwards, during the life of the copartnership, Arthur East was em- ployed as bookkeeper by the firm. Those wero the days when Mr. Albright was making more money than he knew what to do with. Real estate speculation was at its highest pitch, and Mr. Albright was a leader In the business. It is asserted that his firm made $50,000 ®n deals in one day and cleaned up over $150,000 in a week, Albright was the active head of the business and brought about the degls, leaving his office force to look after the details and records of the transactions. He allek=s that he had every confldence in his-partner and book- keeper, and accepted/ their statements as correct. In his petition he asserts that Cooley and Bast, almist 'As soon as the co- partnership had been. efipcted, entered into 4 conspiracy to cheak. wrong and defraud him, and at various timet during the three years in which they “wite in business to- gether, Cooley and East' took and applied to their own use large syms of money which belonged to the copartners, Albright & Cooley. Mr. Albright, in mxx; ition, asserts that so great was his confidefice in both Cooley and East that he did not discover anything of their misappropriafign of the firm's money until in April efi the present year, and since that timeoheihas been making careful investigation of | the records of the firm and has made ‘the” discoveries which lead him to commence, the present suit. Hp alleges that Cooley and KEast, with the money wrongfully ~taken from the firm, bought large property interests in various parts of the city in Hast's name. As the result of the investigation of the firm’s accounts as kept by Cooley and East, Mr. Albright alleges that he has been de- frauded out of fully $100,000, and he asks the court for judgment against the defend- for that amount, He also asks for am accounting of the partnership and asks that East be decreed the trustee of the lands which he bought with the partunership funds, and that the court grant such other relied as may be deemed just and equitable Property of East and Cooley, valued at about 350,000, has been attached pendiag the result of the cawe commenced by Mr. Albright.

DANZER OF A FALSE BUT POFULAR IDEA Comptroller of the Currency Calls Atten- tion to n Great Difficulty in the Way of Satistactory Monctary Legislation —Speech at Cleveland, CLEVELAND, Sept. 20.—Among the speak- ers today at the fourth annual convention of the Ohio Bankers association was Comptroller of the Currency James H. Eckles, After reviewing the history of the national banks and declaring that the system undor which they were conducted was the best that could be devised and one which would be changed only when circumstances made & change necessary, Comptroliar Eckels tald that the problem was to show a more elas fo currency and still maintain it solely tuon bonds deposited to secure the same. The serious difficulty in the way was the ldea to which so many people clung that it wi essential to the people's prosperity that the; always be a large volume of money re- gardless of its representation of intrinsio value, He then said: “Our colonial history is replete with attempts to make the people rich through a great volume of currency which had neither repres: worth, ntative nor intrinsio It is a historic financial failure and distress. Later, under the articles of federa- tion, Is recorded the same attempt and the same series of fallure and financial lo There was scarcely a state in the union be- fore the war but whose history is marked by efforts to enrich a people through such currency. If the result of such attempts was so0 prolific of ruin to the people then, why will they not be accompanied by equal ruin now?

But with such a currency our people have yet much to learn, and most important Is the lesson that no matter how abundant it may be it will not find its way to those who are wanting in credit. It can give no rellef to those who lave neither the means to pay the obligas tions, or having It cast suspicion upon thelr willingness to maintain their financial In- tegrity by making their abiding place the homes of all the financlal vagaries which are bred by those who have no property of thejr own and are unmindful of the property rights of their fellows.
