F Former President of Casualty Company Says Untruths Have Been Circulated. 'There is no shortage In the accounts of the Pacific Casualty company." This denial was made today by Edmund F. Green, of San Francisco, former pres ident of the Casualty company, whose name has been mentioned In connec tion with alleged misuse of the com pany's money. "I cannot give any reason for the charge that I am short in my accounts with the company. There la not one iota of truth In such an assertion. I do not care who makes the accusation, it is an untruth. The books of the company and the general . counsel of the company will bear out my asser tion." Mr. Green retired, he says, from tha presidency of the company about two months ago. When asked to explain the reason for his action he replied: "My resignation followed disatls faction on the part of a syndicate I was instrumental in forming, which purchased the control of the company. This syndicate expected to resell at a figure higher than the purchase price, but' our plans failed to materialise. The members or tne syndicate very naturally blamed me, and after some time they decided that a new head for the company might be advisable, and I at once tendered my reslgnatjon. 'There as, I am sorry td say, some feeling of soreness on the part of some of the members of the syn dicate, who had all been frlenda of mine, but this is the first Intimation that I have heard that I had been ac cused of any wrongful act. "I am frank to admit that some of my acts as president In extending the field of operatlona of the company, were not financially successful, and I am possibly to be crltlclsad for bad 'Judgment I can aea now, where there were other matters in which Judgment was Involved, In which I erred and for which I could perhaps bo criticized, but as for any charge that I appropriated funds of the company for my own use or used them In any other except In a perfectly legitimate manner, I flatly assert that I did not, and any statement that I did Is an untruth." Mr. Green says that he still retains his Interest In the company, which amounts to about 110,000, In addition to a 20 per cent interest In the syndi cate which purchased control of tha company. Thl 20 per cent represents. he says, 140,000. The entire $50,000 la where It can be - held aa eecurltv to ' aafeguard the company, ao Mr. Green asserts.

London, July 21, Seldom, If ever, has tha air been as full of political rumors as during the Mast few 1 weeks. Tha Tha fall v and collapse of the present government was confidently predicted as destined to take place long ago, and when the' prophecy waa not fuiflUed. the political- gossips began to talk of all the important . changes that were to take place In the cabinet. The most sensational of , these predictions waa1 that Mr. Asquith, tired with the bur dens and responsibilities of his office, would resign after appointing himself lord chief Justice to succeed Lord Al verstone. who, as everybody knows, will never resume his seat" oh tha bench'. A successor will have, to be found, but as the long court vacation is at hand,! no new lord chief Justice will have to be nominated unttt October., and then, no matter how often the Tory press h predicted that Mr. Asquith would never i dare. do. he will nominate Sir Rufus Isaacs for the vacant position. And no one of any importance wilt say a word' against the appointment, for In all Eng. land there Is no man. more fit to hold,' this high office than the present attor ney general. In a month or two all, the artificial , indignation stirred up by the Marconi affair will have completely dis appeared. . f . " . Asqnith Will Hot Quit ' I can assure my readers on the Very best authority; that Mr. Asquith has ' not the slightest Intention of leaving the political arena now and everybody ' who? knows him knows that thla is so. . The statesman who, in face of unex ampled difficulties, passed .the parlia ment act. is not going to leave his post until the fruits of that-great measure are garnered. A distinguished colleague of Mr. Asquith's in the present 1 cabinet aaidm few weeks ago: "Loyalty is one of the brlghest Jewels in tha crown of the prime minister's character." That loyalty will not ba wanting to tha Lib eral party at this Juncture in Its for tunes. There is also a loyalty that a i man owes to himself, and Mr. Asquith must feel that It is Incumbent on him to see that the machine which ha fash ioned in tha parliament act is capable of doing' ita Work. .A.V,-r;C''!l,v'1:.;v it to pre with the and pro hunt. lid should the sun or this no- 43 frrr.'. if - PREMIER ASQUIT m o n in 0 ) II i Hi ir imwi ,v- i r y . n h
