Elgin Loan President Explains
Stock Transaction,
ACCEPTED ROWLEy'S ADVICE.
St, Thomas report: Mr. John
Baird, President of ttie defunct El-
gin Loan and Savings Company,
the rousse or an interview to-dp,y,
explained bow the directors of the
concern on March 17th accepted . a
mortgage of $25,000 on the property
of Manager Rowley, which is valued
at $4,000. Early in March last the
direetor,v, acting upon the urgent
advice and counsel of Manager Row-
ley, decided that there was a great
chance for profit in the purchase of
cal and srteeI stocks and bonds. It
was unantmously decided by the di-
rect -ors to anticipate the authority
at the Dominion alut.rt.er in order
to avail themselves of this oppor-
tunity. To clo ,so legally the mort-
gage for $25,000 was placed open
Mr. Rowley's property at Elgin and
Centre streets, the mortgage con-
taining a provision that collateral
security of satisfactory value was
to be furnie ed to the company.
This additional security was to be
the stocks purelhased, with the $25,-
000. The transaetfo•n was put
through and Manager Rowley bought
for the company 100. shares of Do-
minion coal at 121, fifty Shares at
1116, and fifty shares of Dominion
Coal and Steel preferred bonds at
65. These stocks and bonds were
bought outright, the lot costing
$21,150, and they are now with the
National Trust Company, Toronto,
alta the order of the Elgin Loan Com-
pany. This is the only stock tran-
.asact[on with which the directors of
the :'Elgin had to do.
Mr. }laird stated that the char-
ter to deal in rstoeks would un-
doubtedly have been granted had
it not been for, the fallere of Ames
Sc Company. It was this untoward
cir'cums'tance'which led the direct-
ors to apply for the cancellation of
the charter.
In respect to the Elgin's connec-
tion with: the Atlas Loan, liDr, Baird
stated that the Elgin loaned Mr.
,Wallace's calutpany $52,000, for which
they hold debentures of the Atlas
end also Dominion coal stock of
a. collateral amount. These stocks
are ileo in the ease of the National
Trust Company. The Elgin also has
$31,000 on deposit with the Atlas,
for Which it holds security.

appeared to have constructed ou

at the hands of his peers sat in
the peeresses' gallery, of which she
was 'that afternoon a solitary oat

The Lord Chancellor responded
curtly. He was afraid the noble Earl
did not understand the gravity
what he was doing. The propos
bill swept away all existing safe-
guards on the subject of divorce, and
the general effect of the measure
was 'to make marriage simply a
matter of agreement. He did not,
think he used language too strong
