Chambers of | Wardman Park Hetel this afternoon petitioned the District Supreme Court for an order compelling Haynes to re~ imburse her. Haynes resigned as president of the | bank on September 16, 1928, and about | two weeks later the institution was merged with the Riggs National Bank. Mrs. Chambers alleges the impreper transactions were effected for her as a long-time depositor of the bank by Faynes wnrie he was serving as ifs head. The court was advised by the plain- tiff that she “was never informed that her money had been unprofitably in- vested or that any material losses had accrued to her and was wholly without knowledge that the defendant had squandered and dissipated her entire capital uptil October 3, 1928," more than tw> weeks after Haynes' resigna- tion. Mrs. Chambers asserted that she not enly lest stock totaling in present market value about $140,000, but was induced to sign blank notes making her indebted to the bank for $140,000.

With the passing of the contrel of the | | Washingten Gas Light Ce. inte m, hands of a group of New York finan- | | clers, the question was raised in puhllcl utility eircles teday whether the trans action would confliet with the provision: | of the anti-merger act, which forbids a | foreign corperation directly or indirectly | | te own, eontrel or hold steek or bonds | in & loeal utility eorperation without the | | approval of Congress. An atmosphere of mystery surrounds | the identity of the New York grou which aequired the contrelling interest in the gas company in a deal cen- summated yesterday aftermoon, in- velving about $7,000,000, whieh mnatur- ally has aroused the curosity of Wash- ington financiers, as well as officials of the Public Utilities Commission. The only names mentioned in conneetion with the transaction are these of D. A. Pearson, who represented the New York capitalists, and Wilten J. Lambert, ‘Washingten attorney. Report Due Soon.

The | | anti-merger act, it was pointed eut | makes no reference whatsoever to in | dividuals, whether they reside inside or | outside the District, holding stoek in a publie utility corporation. | Law’s Provisions, ‘The provisions of the anti-merger ! act relating to stock transfers are con- e seetion which_dec| | tained in section 11, which declare it shall be “unlawful for any foreign public utility eorporation or any foreign or local holding corporation or for any local atrut railway corporation, | electric corrnuuon or any other local | | public utility corporation, directly or | indirectly to own, control or hold vete stock er bonds of any publu utility corporation organized under any gen- eral incarperation law or special aet of | the United States or authorized under | any law of the United States te dn business in the District of Columb The act also provides that it shall be unlawful for a District corporation to sell or transfer amy pertion of iis stocks or bonds to any other public utility corporation or holding corpora- | tion unless authorized to do so. | Aside from considering the legal| | phase of the transaetion, public utility | officials ssid that without furiher de-, tails they were unable to comprehend | the significance of the transfer of steck |te !h!
