...great pleasure Saturday to reintroduce to its front-page columns the almost legendary character of Francis X. McQuade. This city magistrate of yesteryear was the unwelcome subject of one of Judge Seabury's most lurid revelations, and the charges projected at him caused the hasty removal of his ponderous bulk from the New York bench. A patriarch among patriarchs, he had scattered largesse with a generous hand to kith and kin; the exact number of relatives to whom he flung the bounteous purse of the city pay-roll was declared, after investigation, to be 39. And the thirty-nine McQuades...
...months & months U. S. importers have been scrambling madly for exclusive agencies. Before the War about 20 big firms divided the bulk of wine & liquor imports, which amounted to $17,000,000 annually. Even a big importer thought himself lucky if he cleared $250,000.

At the other end was the thin, rigid figure of John De Lorma Adams Morrow, president of Pittsburgh Coal Co., who also heads the potent Northern Coal Control Association. Loudly and often had Operator Morrow...
Plans last week called for shifting about 15 of the most heavily traded issues as a starter. This would account for nearly one-half of the total daily volume of trading Gradually other active stocks would be added until the bulk of the market was in Newark. Still unsettled last week was the prime point of whether firms, most of which have only one floor member, could use a nonmember alternate. With an alternate on the New York floor and the regular member in Newark, the house would avoid the use of "$2 brokers" who execute orders for other members...
