Promoter Adolf Schmidt Behind Leipzig Bank Collapse
Berlin July 12 The ruin of the Leipziger bank, which failed about a year ago for nearly 290000000 marks, was caused by promoter Adolf Schmidt. As Trebertrocknung director he secured loans totaling about 8000000 marks for years while deceiving directors and bank manager Exner. Schmidt, skilled in sales talk, claimed a world monopoly for wood alcohol and planned American partnerships. The directors, though misled, offered no profits to themselves and Schmidt remains jailed awaiting examination. The piece notes Ballin’s rising prestige and minor royal ditties, plus Bayreuth Opera funding debates and other assorted items.

State Department Views on Guano Island Claims
Washington reports that in 1389 Captain Rosehill claimed Marcus Island in the western Pacific for guano, but no fee simple title exists. The State Department notes no duty to judge claims, requires a bond to prevent overpricing and ensure vacancy after removal, and doubts continued occupation. If Japan operates Marcus Island, U.S. interference seems unlikely.
