THE CAPITAL JOURNAL, SALEM, OREGON
LOGAN BLAMED
FOR FAILURE OF
COOKE BROKERS
An appeal was filed In circuit
court here Thursday by Logan d
Bryan, nationwide stock brokers.
from a decision of Mark McCallls
ter, state corporation commissioner,
denying the firm the right to con
duct a brokerage business In Ore
gon. In the transcript filed was Includ
ed a copy of the report of Henry
Klesenbeck, examiner for the cor
poration department or! Which de
nial of the aDDllcatlon was based,
and in which Logan fe Bryan Is
scored by the examiner for Its con
nections with Overbeck & Cooke
company, defunct stock brokerage
concern in Portland.
The report of the examiner de
clares that for a long period of
years the two firms Overbeck &
Cooke and Logan & Bryan operat
ed in conjunction, that Logan &
Bryan furnished market quotations
and financial news to and executed
orders for Overbeck & Cooke and
operated in such a way as to, cause
a large number of people who dealt
with Overbeck & Cooke to believe
that Logan 4c Bryan were the real
principals. Overbeck fc Cooke
were capitalized at $10,000, states
the report, but It appears the loss
to hundreds of customers will ex
ceed a million and a half dollars.
The report says the failure of Over
beck & Cooke was primarily due to
the officers of that company trad
ing against the company's custom
ers and that "Logan & Bryan should
have known of the practices of the
officers of Overbeck & Cooke com
pany. If they did know, their con
duct was dishonorable," continues
the report. "If they did not know,
then under the circumstances and
in the light of the confidence re
posed in them by the public, their
gross negligence in not ascertaining
the facts which a most cursory In
spection of their own and the books
of Overbeck 5c Cooke company
would have disclosed, is equally
reprehensible."
"From the day of the failuoe un
til now," the report goes on to say,
"it appears that Logan & Bryan
have failed to do anything to indi
cate in any manner that they have
any regard for those who suffered
The report of Kiessenbeck goes
extensively into' various phases of
tne accounting of overbeck &
Cooke company's books and points
out other alleged reasons for the
corporation commissioner to deny
the permit sought.

by the fact that the late George W.
Joseph, the .defendant's accuser,

We had hoped that our analysis
of the evidence, . virtually all of
wmen was taken from copies of the
public records, would bear convic
tion that we sought the facts and
let the result abide the event. The
evidence persuaded our minds that
the revocation of the defendant
license was not only warranted but
demanded. Upon the same day that
tne petition ior rehearing was filed
Mr, Joseph was removed from this
life to the great tribunal above.
"Mr. Mannlx did not argue that
the record failed to justify the se
vere discipline imposed and. a:

penormancc.
'Naturally under such circum

trially cultivated ever since he

EMMONS FINDS
DROUGHT LOSS
OVERDRAWN
The drouth damage picture In
the middle west has largely been
overdrawn, or at least in that por
tion of Iowa and North Dakota
which he has large property inter.
ests, declared O, 7. Emmons who
returned to his home here with
Mrs. Emmons Wednesday night fol-
.lowing an absence of six months.
"While there is undoubted dam
age, there were no complete fail
ures such as reported, except in
Isolated Instances, In all of the 20,
000 to 25,000 acres ot corn which I
Inspected personally in seven coun
ties of Iowa," Emmons stated. "In
a few fields where the land was
extremely sandy, there was Indeed
considerable damage, but the corn
crop as I observed it, will average
60 to 89 per cent of normal, while
the loss, to this particular crop in
comparison with the other money
making products of the section, Is
comparatively negligible.
"Wheat production is about on a
normal basis, and as for livestock,
the situation was rarely ever bet
ter, considering price and other fac
tors. The heat for a protracted period
was nearly unbearable, Emmons
reported, with temperatures ranging
from 95 to 115 degrees in the shade.
His return home was delayed two
weeks by an attack of ptomaine
poisoning.
NYE REPLIES TO
RUTH BY URGING
FURTHER PROBE
Chicago VP Senator Gerald P.
Nye's answer to the challenge of
Congresswoman Ruth Hanna Mc
cormick: "What are you going to
do about my employment of detec
tives to investigate you and the
United States senate investigating
committee?" is he is going to keep
right on investigating.
"Tne committee," said the North
Dakota senator in a statement.
"will not be diverted from its clear
ly defined duty by any smoke screen
laid down through a will to threat
en, intimidate and influence."
The senator said he had been
'amazed to read the statement ol
this candidate in which guilt of
such employment (of detectives)
was admitted."
Senators Nye and Porter H. Dale
of Vermont, the two committee
members who have been hearing
witnesses here the past two days,
adjourned sessions late Wednesday
uniu oeptemoer is. At that time
the committee expects to pursue its
inquiry into Mrs. Mccormick's use
of detectives to investigate members
and employes.
Tne methods employed by the
jucuormicK detectives were scored
as "shoddy, unprincipled, uncon
scionable and unprincipled" in the
North Dakota senator's statement.
(senator Nye takes notice ot Mrs.
Mccormick's challenge: "What is
senator Nye going to do about It?'
stating:
"My answed to the question is only
this: no matter how unpleasant and
distasteful Is the responsibility in
Illinois, I shall, as far as I am
able to do so, continue to guide the
investigation In Illinois along those
same lines thus far followed by
the committee; lines which can be
accepted as a credit to the legisla
tive body which we serve, and in
such manner as will be ultimately
approved by the most severe critics
of the senate; and to follow this
course with continuing instruction
to our very small staff to use none
but clean and honorable methods

his acceptance of Invitations to
make four addresses early in Oc

appropriate to the occasion which
might mean that before the Ameri
can Bankers' association at Cleve

finances and business, and before
the American Federation of Labor
