- BANKS SUE 10 GET - BACK FRAUD LOSS $500,000 Sought by Six New York Institutions in Wag- goner Case. By the Associated Press. DENVER, Colo, December 27.—Six New York banks filed suit today in Federal District Court here against two Colorado financial institutions and two individuals to recover $500,000 lost through the manipulations of Charles D. Waggoner, former president of the now defunct Bank of Telluride. ! ‘The defendants are the Bank of Telluride at Telluride, Colo.; the First National Bank of Pueblo, Grant Mc- Person, State bank commissioner, Who | o8 "o ‘mench and now has charge of the affairs of the Bank of Telluride, and J. C. Anderson, who was operating head of the Norwood Cattle Loan Co., one of Waggoner's en- terprises. Second Court Action. The action is the second brought by the New York banks seeking to recover the half million dollars. The previous action in which Waggoner and two other New York banks were named de- fendants, still is pending in New York State courts. ‘Today’s suit followed refusal of Mc- n _to grant a claim of the six laintiff banks against the Bank of lluride for $500,000. ‘Waggoner now is serving a term in the Federal penitentiary in Atlanta, Ga. He was captured in Cambria, ‘Wyo., in September, 1929. Used Forged Code. ‘Waggoner sent forged code telegrams to the New York banks, each purport- edly signed by a Denver bank and in- structing the deposit of a total of $500,000 to the credit of the Bank of Telluride in the Chase National Bank. Most of the money then was transferred to Western banks to cover indebtedness. Plaintiffs _in today's action are: Guaranty Trust Co., National City Bank of New York, First National Bank of the City of New York, Harriman National Bank & Trust Co.,, Chemical Bank & Trust Co., and Theosphilus De Mott, to whom the Equitable Trust Co. of New York has assigned its claim in the Waggoner ltigation.

In addition there will be a two-day trip to Zionist colonies and to their Agricul- tural College near Jaffa and Tel Aviv. In“accordance with a plan succe: fully instituted last Summer, confer- ences are with Zionist leaders among the Jews in Palestine and with the Grand Mufti of the Arabs. ‘Through such conferences, it is felt, said Dr. Jackson, “that members of the seminar may be aided in arriving at a fair understanding of the real situation in the Holy Land today.” The seminar is a study group, Dr. Jackson explained, and not a commer- clal project. It is planned with the most enonomical basis possible, con- sistent with comfort and enjoyment. A survey of graduates of the College of Liberal Arts of American University Just completed by Dr. George B. Woods, dean of the college, discloses the fact that nearly 50 per cent of the students of the school have gone on to graduate study. Of the 120 graduates in the short history of the school, 52 of the graduates have proceeded with gradu- ate work in several schools, including the Graduate School of American Uni- versity, Boston University, Harvard, Yale, Brown University, Johns Hopkins, George Washington and University of Maryland.
