LOUIS, Mo., July 15.-The stockholdersof six building and loan associations, each capitalized at $600,000, are wondering today where they are at. The associations are the Western Union, Nos. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6. Yesterday, Milo T. Bogard, secretary of all the associations, and also one of the largest real estate dealers in the city, gave warranty deeds of all his property to John H.

The stockholders of the six associations learned of the transaction this morning and alarmed for their own interest hastened to Bogard's office and took possession of his books. An examination was at once commenced, but it will take a long time to unravel them in their complicated condition. In the meantime Bogard could not be found and therefore no explanation of his side of the story could be obtained. Trouble in Kansas City.

The sum total was about $4,000,000. At noon confidence in a large measure had been restored, and the runs stopped except on the Missouri National, which continued slowly. Unless some bank fails the crisis for the immediate present is passed. Tried an Unfortunate Experiment. NEW YORK, July 16.-Chancellor McGill at Jersey City, yesterday, appointed John C.
