Mr. Brown has handled no tower than nine cases, involving seven defendant building loan officers, since last April. He said that in most of the cases minor otticrs of the associations were Involved. Several of the eases Brown has handled had their beginning before he took up th commissioner's work. The list follows: Samuel Kreps, now awltlng trial. Al leged shortage, J260 :'J as secretary of the Northwest Building and Loan Associa tion, and Ji 31 as secretary of the East Park Building and Loan Association. Joseph V. Wooley, awaiting trial.

Among tho accused who restoied all or a substan tial part of the funds taken are Slmp klns, Still and Mncdonald. 'Uy making the auditing of the share holders' paid books compulsory, the Je-fah-atlon evil, particularly so far us t'ie ulHhonent secretary Is concerned, will be positively checkmated." Mr. Brown said. "The secretaries Involved In the cases I have handled worked a simple Hystem. They accepted monej from nhareholders, gavo the shareholders credit on their passbook.?, then pocketed the munej. A number of loan associations do have an annual lomparison of the pans books with the books of the associations, and the shareholders are safeguaided The s li tem ik one that all of the associations: should be more than willing to ndopt, anij In any event there should be a law to enf '! it " Foster.
