1 THE BEEt OMAHA, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 19, 1920. ! 11 ) . Judson, Wizard Of Finance, Again In the Limelight Commodore "Bert" Called from Wall Street Office to , Clear Up Sinking Fund. Money Investment. . . New York, Oct. 18. Once again Commodore , "Bert" Judson has c( - emerged from the obscurity of his .s' Wall street-office to rub his magic ' lamp and make millions grow where ' nothing grew before. ,; Against his will Judson is .caught in the limelight circle thrown by the investigation of the manner of the , investment of the money of the sink 3 ing fund of this state, state ton troller Eugene Travis has testified that it was through Judson that mil lions of the state's money was in vested and that the modest genius ....of bond manipulation made $800,000 ft for himself. 1 It is a long time since the name of "Lucky Bert" rapped for atten ..tion from the front pages of news - papers. Old-timers chortle to learn that his name has again eropped up in connection with some uncanny ' piling up of dollars, i Started Years Ago. His first sally harks back to the early '90s and it records how -AJ-" bert L; Judson planted a' 2-cent -Stamp, nursed it and tended the young stem, until it yielded a prize of $50,000. The story of the adven . ture will be found plastered on page J ' I of every newspaper in the coun- '-4try published in that early day. How the'Judson magic charms , . up millions or where he getsMiis startling insight into market flue 1 tuations no one has been able to discover. Judson himself will say nothing and perhaps it is a gift and he himself does not know. - In the, days of the stamp episode lie was a limber figure of a man. Today this man whose mind travels ' through the intricacies of the bond market like an eel through rushes, ''is old. His aee clares. He is stooped and leans heavily upon a Cane. Green spectacles cover his eves and he seems sandblind. -? v r Albert L. Judson, this bent old v man is even today one of the peers i , of the motor boating branch of the sporting world. He owns the 28 foot hydroplane, Whippoorwill, jr., which has made a speed record of T " 70.15- miles an hour. He is com modore of the Lake George Regat ta association and has superintended in person scores of regattds staged on the quiet waters of Lake George and on other bodies of water in the -Ti east. " - In the year of the battle of Get , tysburg. 1864, Albert Conde and t Maria Judson, of Albany, gave birth ' ?.' to the future wizard.' For 30 years he pursued comparatively obscure -e ' career as business manager of the Albany Journal. He passed from newspaper work to the employ of ,.' the board of railroad commissioners !, ' in the capacity of statistician. - ' This was the last of the prologue to the romance of Albert L. Jud son's ;t career in the bond, world. He seemed '. - to know every; current and freak of .7,. -the market, to know, almost o the . minute, the proper moment to buy or sell. , isif. It was when the government de cided to float $5,000,000 worth of . . - tonds for sale to private individuals 'rather than to banks and i.istitutions ' that Judson wa3 jerked from obscur " ity. H" i Judson wrote a letter to the gov ernment stating simply that h was ready to take them over. No certi-,,'-a..fied check accompanied the proposal, ' nor any other customary guarantee. -r- The bonds arrived. Judson sold ""u'them. His profit was estimated at $50,000. "'Bert Judson's luck' was ; ,.the only way his friends desctibed y the coup. Judson himself never en lightened them. , " '. ' Aifairs Remain Secret, -"i. Again, in 1896 Judson hurst out -"'with the highest bid, save on:, for ', , 500,000 worth of the $100,000,000 ilotation of bonds of the Cleveland administration. " He topped th en tire market, outbidding by 3.75 . ' points all except Joseph Pulitzer !" "who is said to have outbid him. .rTVhen the first payment was y due iudson did not fail the gwvernment. lere too his profits tot?jed ihou Z"1 sands. if--. In the John Doe hearing in ' progress before Chief Justice Ker r.erchan he has told littie of his methods of doing business. His ."Vy,, eminently successful methods' bid fair to remain a secret. The only .tact lie has related concerns his ex- travagant tastes in the matter of ' . 'V motor boats and living quarters. V Texas Bureau Cites .7 . Nebraska Success in Taking Auto Thieves .-. - - Lincoln, Neb., Oct. 18. (Special.) - That the .work of the law euforcc ' mcnt department of Nebraska alonR the lines of apprehension of auto 'i "mobile thieves is recognized outside A.: of the state is evident by the follow ing letter received by Governor Mc ' Kelvie from Parker V. Lucas, man ager of the automobile theft bureau nt Dallas. Tex.: , My Dear Governor: At the re cent convention of the Traffic Of- ficers' association in San Francisco. v' considerable progress was made to- KI' wards a solution of the automobile . theft situation by the adoption of a s very . complete draft for a uniform automobile theft law. Amon ; . other things it provides for the main tenance of a state bureau and the national distribution of information a .. , through such a bureau. .1 was at once reminded of -your splendid -- work in Nebraska in organizing the ' first effective state bureau to aid in this situation, and I have been v "glad to point out to other sections of the country the very special idea .; yu nave evolved and to point with pride to the splendid results ob , .. stained for the time you have had it t- Ht , in operation. Vi "I recently made a trip to the itate of Oklahoma and have inter ested them in a similar organization. They have also promised to install a complete file on all;-automobiles registered in the state by their motor numbers, which is an excellent idea and which as you know has proven very much worth while in tracing stolen cars especially from one state to another, for by this means a car stolen in Texas and later registered 13 Nebraska can be located."

The cattle were unusually late In getting Into the yards for a Mon day and consequently it was pretty well along In tfhe morning before much Was done. Quality ot the western offerings was real plain on tha whole and what little desirable beef was ready to show early sold at prices that were not far from steady, with other sales around 2ic lower. Stocker and feeder buyers made opening bids on a 2560c lower basis, but up to ths writing they had not been able to uuy any cattle tnat way, ana wnat sales had been made were from nearly steady to not over 25c lower. Cows and heifers opened 26 50c lower except on a few bunches which shippers bought nearly steady. Not enough cornfeds were here to make a market.

Chicago Tribune-Omaha, Bee Jei Wire. New York, Oct 18. While the tendency of thV stock market prices was distinctly downward today, there was greater stability than in other and related markets. Cotton fell to new low records, the foreign ex changes were marked by weakness in particular directions, notably sterl ing, francs and rates on South America and the far east, and grain fell back under renewed pressure of offerings from the farm. ,A further decline of silver to the lowest point touched since July, 1917, denoted continuing reflection of unsettled trade conditions in the Jar eastern markers as vcll as the undoing of recent speculative tran sactions for the raise. Altogether security value were sur rounded by factora which,- In combination, appeared more depressing than for some time past. The financial ommunity, how ever, allowed for the possibility of early Improvement In one disturbing element. namely, the strike of British coal miners,. and the position of the call loan market tended to restrain speculative operation for -the fall. . Bailie In Rail. The trend of railway share wa In terrupted by rallies and it was only near the end of the day that lnduatrial laaues receded with real force. The mors ex tensive declines were mainly between 1 and 2 points. Call money opened at 7 per cent, and dropped back to 6 per cent In the final business hour. ' - The foreign exchange markets disclosed evidences, of speculation by those facile hands which have been ready at all time during the last two years to profit from depressed sentiment, but there was prob ably a more positives direction behind the pressure, which carried sterling down 3Hi to the lowest level since the early day of March than short sales sttmuated by thought of tha adverse effect of a cbal shortage upon Britain's trade.- A prac tical development of the str'.ke would be the purchase by British shipping interests of coal on this side, for their own fuel requirements at least, and the press would entail substantial purchase of dollar ex change at London. The easing of the Argentina rate is Belf-explanatory In tno llarht of a reversal of trade In recent months, which Implies either a reduction of Imports from the United States or shipments of gold to correct the exchange position. The reaction of Chinese and Indian quotations, like similar movements of the last fortnight was the natural re sult of the decline of silver, which amount ed to seven-eights of a penny, at London and 2c per ounce here, an open market price of 79 c being reached In local deal ings. The movement of cotton and grain was not productive of fresh explanations, for the suggestion of additional declines was carried In last week's developments, all part and parcel of progress toward ulti mate stability In the markets. Tall Money Advances. Cornptroller Williams' criticism of high call money rates In loans for stock market use Is worth whUe considering against the background ot credit and money conditions during the period cited In his statement Issued this morning. The record of general loans and monej rates during last autumn, for example, Shows that an abnormal loan expanalon was calling for corrective measures. Between August 15 and November 17 rediscounts throughout the federal reaepve system, secured by government warv bonds, In creased from $1,522,992,000 ' to $1,771,028, 000 and. 'borrowings upon commercial paper expanded nearly 90 per cent from $220,347,000 to $418,461,000. A resultant rrowth of deposits, , together with move ments of gold and federal reserve note issues, carried the ratio of reserve -to ote and deposit liabilities from 50.9 to the then extraordinary low figure of, 46.8 per cent. It will be recalled then in No vember the federal reserve board iwas moved to reiterate Its warning of May that the use of credit In unessential lines must ha curtailed. - The banks took the matter to heart, there was thereafter close u- pervlslon of loans and Wall Street was by no meana alone In feeling the plnch. Call money advanced to 15 per cent and higher for the reason that offeringa were inadequate to the needs of bidders. Under the federal reserve act bankers have been encouraged to Invest a large part of their funds, which formerly went into call and time loans In acceptances. Access to tho redtscounting facilities of the reserve banks have lessened the need of banks to carry a "secondary reserve" In the nhape of call loans, and since the com mercial demands began to growo great volume from the middle of 1918 on atock market accommodation became more and more centered In call money.- The result was that there were times when supplies were Inadequate and the rate advanced.
