Financial outlook clouded by Southern Pacific drag
The piece argues for a potential general trade revival but notes current quiet would likely persist. It attributes the SPs stagnation after segregation plans to speculative bets that failed to trigger expected price moves.

Howe and Chmielinski Dispute Over Journal Building Sale
Howe contends before June 1 1919 a contract with Chmielinski formed a partnership to buy the Journal building on Washington Street and share its value. The property was sold for 550000 and Chmielinski handed it to the bank commissioner after Hanover Trust closure, with value now about 700000. Creditors of the trust stand to gain, while Chmielinski’s lawyers argue the court should uphold the decree dismissing Howe’s bill and accuse Howe of fraud for not disclosing the agreement.
