AND INDICTED OFFICERS —_(Continued From First Page) removed to New York, and it is alleged will be lost to the stockholders unless some action is taken by the court to protect the. interests and rights of the Tocal stockholders. Say Funds Used. The plaintiffs assert that the major portion of the moneys received from the sale of stock of the F, H. Smith Co. and from bonuses and charges made on account of loans and from the pro- ceeds of bonds have been used and dissipated against the interests of the preferred stockholders of the F. H. Smith Co., including the plaintiffs in this_case. Salaries aggregating as much as $90,000 per year each are_alleged to have been paid to G. Bryan Pitts, chair- man of the board of directors, ana Samuel J. Henry, president of the cona- pany, for their services as officers, di- Tectors and advisers. These salaries were fixed, it is as- serted, at meetings attended only by the defendants and C. Elbert Anadale, secretary. i Daniel R. Crissinger, it is claimed, was paid $30,000 per year and Repre- sentative Zihlman is alleged to have Teceived certain sums of money, the amount unknown, “by way of salary or commissions or director’s fees.” Additional Sums. Bitts and Henry are also alleged to have received additional sums of money from time to time from persons dealing with them as representatives of the Smith Co. to make preferences in their favor. These monies, the suit charges, were used for the personal benefits of the defendants when, in fact, they should have been placed in the treasury of the company. The court is told that there are a large number of stockholders living in distant parts of the United States and in foreign countries who have 0 knowledge of the condition of the com- pany at this time and of the facts or aliegations against the officers and di rectors who have purchased stock of the Smith Co. and bonds sold by the com- pany on the installment plan and are now actually paying their money to the office of the company in Washing- ton, which sums are alleged to be trans- ferred out of the District of Columbia and are likely to be lost to the stock holders, it is claimed, The ’ plaintifis_informed the court that capital stock of the F. H. Smith Co. to the extent of $7,000,000 was sold by the Smith Co, through the United State mails and otherwise to the public at $100 per share and that all the funds from such sales were transmit- ted to and placed in the treasury of the F. H. Smith Co. The return to the company of this very large sum of money was made possible and grew out of the circulars printed and circulated by the F. H. Smith Co. and newspaper articles cat or influenced to be is- susd by the defendants on the reputa- tion and standing and set forth in those circulars, of the defendants Zihlman and Crissinger, are alleged in the bill.

Between 1,400 and 1,600 children will receive “kiddie bags,” each one filled with gifts selected for the particular child whose name and age it bears. The children will come from families known to the mission to be having a struggle to meet living expenses and unable to afford extra Christmas cheer. Many of the parents will accompany their children to the theater. Admis- sion to the remaining seats will be by complimentary ticket, obtainable from the mission. There will be a lofty Christmas tree at which Supt. Bennett will preside in his customary role of Santa Claus. Great racks will hold the well stuffed “kiddie bags” and a corps of helpers will facili- tate their distribution. The “kiddie bags” are made by vol- unteers in the churches represented by the mission, and are filled by individuals or families who select each bag for either a boy or girl of any age preferred. Last year 1400 children were made happy in this way.
