Died. Clarence Herbert Venner, 77, famed sue-&-settle man; of pneumonia; in Manhattan. No. 1 bogeyman of large U.

If the company, informed of the legal weeds he usually turned up, chose to buy Old Man Vernier's stock at his own price, the matter was dropped. If not he would let loose a flock of damaging circulars, scuttle to court to plead the cause of a downtrodden minority stockholder. August Belmont once stated on a witness stand that James Jerome Hill's Great Northern R. R. had paid Old Man Venner between $1,000,000 and $2,000,000.
