Blaine Elkins, brother of Senator Elkins of West Virginia, was fined $200 today by Chfef Justice McCoy of the ! District Supreme Court for contempt of court in falling to obey an order to increase from $230 to $300 monthly maintenance money for the support of his son. Stephen B. Elkins, 3d. The fine is for the benefit of the wife and is to be paid in ten days or Mr. Elkins to be committed to jail until payment is made. Through Attorney James S. Easby- Smith, Mr. Elkins gave a supersedeas tion of the order to pay the fine until the District Court of Apbeals acts on an appeal noted by Mr. kins. In signing the forma? oraer ad- judging Mr. Elkins_in_contempt of court, Chief Justice McCoy wrote in- to the order that he is satisfied the refusal of Mr. Elkins to obey the order passed December 15 last in- creasing the allowance for the child. Was due to an honest purpose to | raise, in good faith, a question of law as to the jurisdiction of the court to pass the order for an increase. Mrs. Mary Kenna Elkins obtained | an absolute divorce from Blaine El- kins last September and was awarded the custody of the child, with an | allowance of $250 monthly. Shejlater | asked the court to increase amount to $500 monthly, claiming the child because of his illness. Mrs Elkins was represented by Attorneys | Douglas, Obear & Douglas, and J. V.

OFCALSBLANED FORBANKFALURES Bad Loans Cause Closing of Two Institutions in Chicago. _— EXAMINERS IN CHARGE Two Officers of One Bank Under Technical Arrest Pending Probe. By the Associated Press CHICAGO, March 21.—Four years 480 Samuel W. Maltz discarded the blue uniform of a passenger train brakeman and became president of the Sixteenth Street State Bank. About twenty years ago Fred W. Popp, recently found dead with a bullet hole in his head, dispensed with the gray suit of a mall carrier, when he started on a financial career that :rricd him to the presidency of the gan Squa and v LoksnN Sauars Trust and Savings Today both of these institution ; ns were closed, the Logan Square Trust and Savings Bank depositors and stockholders engaged in reorganizing the institution and making good loss- €8 reported at $400,000, and the Six- teenth Street State Bank accounts being subjected to the scrutiny of state bank examiners, with an esti- mated shortage of $150,000. Made Bad Loans. The doors of the two banks were locked within a period of two weeks by state bank examiners, the Six- teenth Street Bank being closed yes- While the bank examiners went through the records of the latter bank another former railroad man, J. M. Austin, acted as president. Maltz re- signed last July at the request of directors. Maltz formed the bank about four years ago with a group of railroad brakemen and conductors. William McLaughlin, assistant state’s at- torney, said Maltz had confessed making bad loans totaling between $30,000 and $40,000. Loans on questionable second mort- gages, officialy said, brought about the bank's closing. 'They said Maltz used the bank's fund for his personal use, and floated bond issues to ver mortgages of more than actual value of the real estate. A bond issue of $100,000 to cover two pieces of property owned by Maltz were said by officials to have precipitated the closing. _The real estate was valued at $70,000 and mortgaged for $33,000 when the bond issue, purporting to be a first mort- gage, was issued, investigators said. Shortage Made Good. While the affairs of the bank were being checked, Maltz and J. A. Kalis, cashier of the institution, were tech- nically under arrest, both being guarded.in hotel rooms. No formal charges had been made against either. Kalis, according to officials, admitted knowledge of Maltz's transactions, but denied participation. As the state bank examiners with- drew their main_activities from the Logan Square Trust and Savings, Bank to the Sixteenth Street State Bank, it was announced that virtu- ally all the shortages in the accounts of “the former institution had been made good.
