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."

Cattle The week Is atarttnr out with
the largest cattle run on any one day so
far tills year, arrivals being estimated at
7.0U0 head. 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.

Experience
In some counties of
Iowa and Nebraska,
.three to four millions of
dollars have been lost Irf
unsuccessful promotions
during: the last two
years.
What a pity it is! ;
Home Builders could1
have used much of that
money for constructing
and assistinfto finance
business buildings which
are sorely needed to
keep pace with industrial
progress.
If the investors in un
certain promotions had
put the money , in Home
Builders' securities, they
would now have paper
worth 100 cents on the
dollar with a sure, in
