Bankruptcies became front-page news in New York early in January when an attorney named David Steinhart, receiver and Republican politician, fled, leaving bankruptcy books $50,000 short. Judge Winslow had sponsored his appointment many times. Steinhart was indicted. Officials chased him; disguised in red whiskers, through Canada. Charles Shongood, U. S. auctioneer, was removed from office, indicted for conspiracy and embezzlement. Panicky, the Federal judges in Manhattan switched bankruptcy cases from personal receivers to the American Exchange Irving Trust Co. A grand jury gathered more evidence...
...Gustave Henri Camerlynck. Death found him, last week, in Paris, five days after he had taken to bed with influenza. As Chief Interpreter of the Paris Peace Conference, the Washington Conference, and the First Dawes Committee, Professor Camerlynck received the personal thanks of such statesmen as David Lloyd George and Woodrow Wilson. He was to have interpreted for the new Second Dawes Committee (see col. 2). As illness stole upon him last fortnight, Professor Camerlynck interpreted, for the last time, between Prime Minister Raymond Poincare of France (who speaks no English) and the Agent General of Reparations, Seymour Parker Gilbert...
...Chief Interpreter to the Paris Peace Conference, the chance of a lifetime which turned a brittle, impecunious professor into the confidant of the Big Three at their most secret and vital meetings. Perhaps M. Camerlynck was even present on that celebrated evening when Georges Clémenceau and David Lloyd George are supposed to have gotten Woodrow Wilson convivially stimulated,, but if so the little Fleming never told. When asked in his later years: "Why don't you write your memoirs?" Gustave Henri Camerlynck always laconically replied. "I know too much." He was 60 when Death came...
...last week did this one in San Francisco. The climax came when Adolph S. Ochs, owner-publisher of the New York Times read his report on the $5,000,000 endowment fund for Hebrew Union College. Impressive was the list of names and donations which Mr. Ochs read. From David, Murry, Solomon and Simon Guggenheim, $500,000; from Mrs. Jacob H. Schiff, Mortimer L. Schiff, Mr. and Mrs. Felix Warburg, $500,000; from Julius Rosenwald $500,000 if the fund reaches $4,000,000 by July 1. Other gifts were from New York's Lieutenant-Governor Herbert H. Lehman...
...Money, Anti-Money. It is difficult to say what Congressmen might speak for the money power, especially in an argument which lists money against money. Ogden Livingston Mills and James Wolcott Wadsworth were moneymen, but they have departed from the House and Senate, respectively. Senator David Aiken Reed of Pennsylvania, Secretary Mellon's haggard, Princeton-educated protege, might stand as the senatorial moneyman. In the House are New York's Snell, a florid, solid cheesemaker; Rhode Island's Richard S. Aldrich, son of the late great Senator Nelson Aldrich; and Pennsylvania's Harry Estep, a young...
