ACCOUNTING ASKED Satiee " car Boye BY GUARANTY FIRM At Clan Convention Sale of Certificates for Whis- Call boys at the Willara Hotel are h g a puzsling time of it | toda. “Page Mr. Magruder” | isn't as easy as it sounds, with the | American Clan Gregor Soclety in | session. | ky Is Basis of Action in D. C. Court. The District Guaranty Corporation, by its president, E. W. Davis. today asked the District Supreme Court for an accounting by the Mount Vernon Savings Bank of certain transactions in connection with a sale of certifi cates for 1.972 quarts of whisky stored in a bonded warehouse in Kentucky. Through Attorney Fred B. Rhodes the plaintiff company says that the bank sold the certificates to Hoover Hanger for an amount not disciosed, and later agreed to loan to him $5.000 on ap- proved security to pay for the re- bottling of 1,000 cases of the whigky under an offer of purchase by the Crowdus Drug Co. of Dallas, Tex. Hugh Hanger, then president of the plaintiff corporation, is a brother of Hoover Hanger, and is said to hav Joaned to him without authority a note | for 35,000 belonging to the company | which twis deposited with the bank as collateral security for its loan of $5,- 00). The bank, it is charged, under- ook to take charge of and to super- vise the rebottling of the whisky in accordance with specifications of the purchaser. The claim is made that the rebottling was not satisfactory and the Texas company declined to con- clude the purchase. Th. bank, it is stated, sold the cer- tificates at public auction and_they were bought by Hugh Hanger. When receivers had been appointed in Janu- 1924, for the plaintiff company demanded the return of the note deposited as collateral, but the bank declined to accede to the request, the court is told. Later the District Guaranty Co. was reorganized and the demand for the note renewed when the bank an- nounced that the maker had paid the £5.000 and its proceeds had been ap- plied to the payment of the loan to Hoover Hanger. The certificates were again sold by thé bank on de- fault in the purchase by Hugh Han- ger, it'is stated. The plaintiff asserts that the bank knew that the note deposited by Han- ger as. collateral was the property of the District Guaranty Co. and declares that it is entitled to have back the $5,000 received from that note, less such sum as the bank may have re- ceived from the sale of the certifi- catés above the amount of the loan made on the certificates by the bank. The lower Main river between Frankfort and Mainz is to be deepened at a total cost of about $7,000,000. W Connected with the society are Taleb Clarke Magruder, Egbert | Watson Magruder, Oliver B.
