Following is the full text of the resolutions adopted by the Salmon bank depositors ut their~ couference ast Saturday: Whereas, we, the creditors and de positors ‘of Salmon & Salmon, fee) sorely aggrieved and vhat we have ust cause of complaint at the man- agement of the bank affairs of Sal mon & Salmon since the doors were closed and therefore feel like it is due to the public that a statement ol the situation from the beginning to She end be given. The bank failed June 20th, 1905 owing $750,000 to depositors, leav {og many people in destitute condi tion and materially affecting all classes. Ou June 26th, 1905, Judge C. A. Denton appointed J. B. Egger of Appleton City, Mo, as Receiver, witho ut consultation with the credi- ‘ors and depositors, who had called @ meeting in Clinton at 2. p.m. op that day to express their preference, but were denied the privilege, and in the absence of the Secretary of State and Attorney General, and we b.~ iieve in pureuance of a previous arrangement made with a chosen few; this appointment was made about noon, while the petition in bankruptcy was filed at 9:30 a. m. and we think was known to the Judge to be so filed at the time. The co-partnere,Saimono & Salmon and Receiverimmediately united and began resistance to bankruptcy, and actually filed affidavits denying {n- solvency, and caused delay in the proceedings from month to month, to the detriment, injury and loss of the creditors. The treditors and depositors: pro test against payi.g for any time, ex- pense or labor, whatsoever of the fteceiver and Attorneys, in resisting Sankruptcy, elther directly or indi- tectly. The bill of expenditures and re- ceipts were not tiled, in court, at ilo ton, by the Receiver and his at- torneys, until 4 p.m. January 31st, 1906, and no oppertunity was of. tered the creditors and depositors to know the contents of the report, bus the court under protestfrom the committee, then and there proceeded to take up the question of compen- sation due the Receiver and attor- neys and gave no attention to the feport. ‘That no written itemized account of the time and labor of the Receiver Sled in court, nor was any writen ac count of the legal services by the at- torneys ever filed, but on a verbal statement alone the court allowed Weceiver Egger $5,000.00 and the attorneys $3,500 00, and no state- ment on file then or now showing avy kind of work or time service, all of which we think is unusual and trregular {n matters governing all ourts in cases of assignments or re- j celvera. ee We believe that justice and fair dealings required all claims and de- mands of Receiver and attorneys to have been itemized in writing and tiled in court @ reasonable time be- fore being taken up for considera- tion; and that the presenting verbal dem ands, being paseed upon imme- diately, ‘s unueual and improper, anfair andan injusticeto the de 3 poeitors and creditor@. i We believe that the allowance to Receiver Egger by the court of $5 ,000 and $3,500 to theattorneys, is ex cessive, irregular and illegal.

We hereby instruct and demand that the trustee, hereafter to be chosen, be required to resiet in every way the payment of these allowances and expenses, and that he refuse to accept from the Receiver, Egger, any voucher forthe same, but that he demand that Receiver Egger pay over to the trustee the full amount of collection and turn over theentire assets of the estate of Salmon & Sal- mon ard the bankruptcy court de termine what compensation the Re- celver and his attorneys sball receive. We demand that the fees for the Receiver be fixed accrding to the bankruptcy law and that he be paid only such sume as were actually necessary for the preservation of the estate and no more, We appeal to the referee !n bank- ruptey and to Hon. Judge Jobn F. Phillips to take .the necessary steps by directing the trustee and protect the creaitors and depositors from these exeeesive and improper allow- ances to the Receiver and Attorneys and to cause 4 general review of the whole matter. We feel that the management of the affairs of the bank by the officials, prior to its failure was contrary to la w and in disregard ofthe rights of the depositors, and that the State bank examiners failed to do their duty towards the depositors of the ba nk prior to ite failure, and for the creditors and depositors to be iim- posed upon under the pretense of the la w, and of the courts to the extent that we feel has been donein this matter is gross injustice and a great wrong, not only to the public inge: - eral, butis using the law as an in. strument to allow men and lawyers to speculate upon the unfortunate depositors and creditors of any in- solvent bank, when the management should have been according to the strictest economy and without favoritism to any one.
