Fluctuations have alarmed investors generally. They are seeking to find a thoroughly safe market for their money. A way has been found that has stood the rigorous test of the past thirty-two years. The" Guaranteed Mortgage, as issued by the Bond and Mortgage Guarantee Company, has produced better results than any other line of investment. It demonstrates, that steady earnings and no losses win in the long run against large but uncertain earnings with many losses, resulting in the end in net losses.

Most investors for twenty-five years have experienced the latter result. Companies and individuals which have had both classes of investments know that the Guaranteed Mortgage account has the best record. Choose only the Guaranteed Mortgage and one guaranteed by a Company like the Bond and Mortgage Guarantee' Company, strong enough to make good. They are always ior sale by the Title Guarantee and Trust Was it harder for him?

LLOYD GEORGE TO DENY INTERVIEW ON SECRET PACT Continued from Vast' 1. platlcto the British journalist than in ids interview with the Associated Press on Sunday. These statements, the Sketch says, "add a touch of comedy to what was regarded yesterday as a political bombshell." The Sketch asked an explanation of Lloyd George, who replied through his secretary: "The facts as recorded in Mr. Spender's statement are substantially correct, but I did not grant the interview." When this was shown to Mr.

Spender, he said: "I cdrroborate Lloyd George's assertion that lie did not authorize, an interview. If there was any carelessness in the matter it. was entirely mine, and I take all the blame. I did not ask his permission to use anything he said, and if I have gone beyond what I should have repeated, I am extremely sorry. "I was asked to write a description of Lloyd George's life at Court und I put in a few observations here and there.

Lloyd George talked off and on for 24 hours on every subject during the week-end" I spent with him, and I reproduced one or two observations." This utterance of Spender's was then submitted to the former Premier through his secretary, but the reply was a refusal "to make any comment until he has gone fully into the, matter." Lloyd George sent a similar message to the Daily Express "I will not say anything until I read a full account, of the interview published in New. Tork." WHY TAFT AND LODGE MISSED FUNERAL (Special to The Panic.) Washington, D.

Only two days before his death Mr. Taft called on the dying ox-President. Friends of tho Chief Justice say, that lie has been greatly upset by the death of Mr. Wilson. Senator Lodge is expected to recover from his cold as suddenly as He got it.

This allliction came to him shortly after an intimation went out that it would be agreeable to many if he did not attend the funeral services. If is known that Sena I or Lodge's eulogy of the dead ex-President was bitterly resented in certain quarters. HOWARD HIGGINS DIES AT ARDNOR, PA. Philadelphia, Pa Fob. 7 Howard C.

Tales of the Orient, of Bolshevist Russia, of banking practices in London, and of big financial institutions in New York were intertwined today in General Sessions before Judge Alfred J. Talley, where Kobert M. Werblow of 485 9th former clerk' in the Chase National Bank, is on trial for the larceny of $103,000 from the Guaranty Trust Company, on July 25, 1922. The stories told were in the form of depositions by witnesses in, China arid direct testimony on the witness stand by employees of the GUaranty Trust Company of this city.

All of the stories were brought out by Assistant District Attorney Hugo Wint-ner for the purpose, of showing that Werblow with his brothers, Henry H. and Isaac, engaged in a conspiracy to get tho money from the Guaranty Trust Company througn its London branch by means of fraudulent cable drafts from China, placing in all nearly $150,000 to tho credit of one Max Elliot, who, it is contended was Isaac Werblow.

DENBY'S DEFENSE OF OIL LEASES SEEN AS WEAKENING HIM Continued from Page 1.

verge of a bitter debate oVer Senator Robinson's resolution requesting the cresKient to dismiss Mr. Denby. It is doubtful whether this resolution can be passed in any such form, now that, a week has elapsed in which tempers have somewhat cooled and calm reason has tiiken hold of many senators. Senator Walsh, of Montana, be Meves that tho Senate has a perfect right to vote no confidence, in Mr. Denby.

He holds Hint the Senate confirmed him originally and thus Shares in responsibility for his con duct in otnee. Now that Mr. Denby has proved himself unfit, so Mr. Walsh's argument runs, the Senate ought to proclaim lo the President and the country that it made a mis take in its confirmation. There are Senators on both sides of the chamber who believe that any sucn procedure would be an invasion of tho President's prerogative; that it smacks of parlinment- ary responsibility and Mr.

Denby either ought to be impanelled and fried, or left lo the President's own discretion. Borah to Put It l'p to Coolldge. The outstanding Republican pro tagonists of (his view are.CouzenH of Michigan and Borah. If is expected that, Mr. Borah will make a great speech, in which he will declare that the President is responsible for Mr.

Denby's conduct, and that, he must decide, und he alone, whether the Secretary of the Navy is tit, to be intrusted with further conduct, of affairs. Borah will refuse to relieve the Presilent of the duty of making his own decision. As the Senate has declared by tinmiimous vote that the naval oil leases were illegal and in defiance of the policy of Congress, nobody is going to defend Denby. Tho argument will center on procedure, not on the Secrtdary's personal ability, which will not be defended at all. Mr.

Denby is in for a series of violent attacks which, coupled Willi his ill-advised telegram of defiance, appear to make his resignation a mere matter of lime.
