The Commonwealth was organizea som: years ana for a time acted as an automobile financing corporation. Stock was sold throughout the country to about 17,000 stockholders.

In some way. however, it became in volved with the F. H. Smith company, this city, and started ssme complicated real estate transactions. Both the F.

H. Smith company and the Commonwealth failed. Three of the Smith officials were given jail sentences here, but no criminal action ever was taken against any officers of the Commonwealth. When the alleged Illegal transactions of the Commonwealth wers brought to light by Senator Smith W. Brook hart, Iowa, the informal stockholders' committee was formed.

The only pos sible chanCa of recovering anything for. the Ccmmonwealth stockholders lies in the discovery of several million dollars worth of bonds, said to have ben secreted by G. Bryan Pitts, one of the Smith company officials, who was sentenced to fourteen years in the penitentiary for his part in the financial manipulations of that firm. Efforts of the department of justice to local the supposed treasure hidden bv Pitts, howevsr, havi been unsuccessful so far.
