Miss Edna Amarnlk, who lives nt

keeper of the concern. There Is n
deer leading te the stairs te the street,
and n back deer giving access te the
workroom beyond.
Miss Amarnlk was hitting nt her dek

Although a rumor was In circula

effected between Themas K. Mitten,

warranted In the light of what hap

Mere than 7000 shares of P. It. T.

and It Is understood that they were
bought by men who are favoring the
Mitten management, Indicating that at
least the Mitten forces are entertaining
no thought of any compromise.
The directors opposed te Mr. Mitten
declined te comment en the report of a
compromise.
P. It. T. stock en the exchange to
day carried the quotation of 24, the

sented an advance of $1.75 from last

Edward B. P. Carrier, twenty-elfht-rear-eld
financier, whose United Aute
Stores, Inc., and United Ouarnntec
Corporation are Involved In what la de
clared te be an almost hopeless financial
nuddle, lavished geld watches, diamond -studded
cigarette eases and orders for
suits of clothes en successful salesmen,
according te A. A. Mnynler, . former
vice president of the United Guarantee
Corporation.
Equity receivers have been aoDeintcd
for the Aute Stores Company, and
sought for the Guarantee Corporation,
and In addition bankruptcy proceedings
have been started In the Federal courts
against the first-named concern.
Carrier, who premises a personal
statement, declared through his attor
neys today thut effort by enemies te
ruin hfm were a contributing cause In
the financial tnngle of his affairs at
present.
Mr. Maynler, who told today of the
geld watches nnd ditmend-studaed ciga
rette eases, formerly was general man
uger and diiecter as well as vice presi
dent of the company which sold the
stock of the United Aute Stores. Fex
many yenrs hu lind been engaged in
ether nnd stable business enterprises, he
said tedny. hut had been Induced te
come te Philadelphia te take charge of
Carrier's company by glittering rep
resentations. "Carrier a Wizard"
"Carrier sought me out In 1021,"
said Mr. Maynler at the firm's offices
In the Stock Exchange Building, "and
made flattering offers te me te leave
the position 1 had then and come 'be
vice president of the United Guarantee
Corporation. I organized nnd incor
porated the company,. and held three
shares of stock In It.
"Carrier certainly was a financial
wizard, se far ns dreaming out plans
went. He was no geed as nn executive.
And he had no Idea of the value of
money.
"At that time the United Guarantee
Corporation wns buying the Aute Stores
stock at 5.'t2.n0 a share nrid sclllnr'lt
for $50 a share. We were doing fair'y
well nnd at least were In a stable con
dition. Last October I began te figure
there wns something wrong, because I
never wns called en te sign checks or
ether papers. I demanded one day te
see Carrier's personal account, nnd al
most dropped dead when I found hun
dreds of shares of United Aute Stores
