Case in the suit of |E. Frank Morgan and others of New London against the Savings Bank of New London to recover a large amount of stocks and securities and $50,000 damages. The contest arose from giving the stocks to the bank as security fom notes for money borrowed on the estate of the late Blias F. Morgan of New London. The suit brought by E. F. gan, Constance Morgan Chappell and George C. Margan, brothers and sis- ter, and Mrs. Annie R. Morgan, their mother. as trustees of the will of the late Elias F. Morgan, \.ho died in 1895. It is claimed that on August 15, 1906, George C. Morgan was ap- pointed trustee of the trusteed estate created under the will of his father: On Sept. 20, 1906, Ricardo R. Mor- gan, brother of the plaintiffs. bor- rowed $25,000 of the- defendant en a note signed by Mrs. Morgun and George C. Morgan as trustees, an that the loan was made to ‘Rxcardn Morgan for the purpose of engaging in speculation. It is claimed that neither Mrs. Morgan nor George C. Morgan- had any power to make the loan and®that the proceeds were used in connection with the estate. Subsequently Ricarde Morgan pledged as coilateral security. stock in | the Great Northern, Baltimore & Ohio Reading, that still later Ricardo Mory rowed $2800 under the same ditions. It is alleged that all the stock thus of at of | of E. of at in ber- st con- er the estate which was known to neither Richardo Morgan, Annie Mor- gan or George C. Morgan had any power to pledge it as security Furthermore, it is claimed that the bank has siv come and colleoted it and applied it to the use of the bank, the amounting to $11,000. The bank has further reccived the rights of sub- scription of the stock of the Great Northern railroad which it has sold applying the money to its own use. On August 20, 1913, E. F. Morgan -{and Annie Mobgan were appointed er | trustees of the estate by the probate court and it was not until then that they learned the facts of the borrow- ing of the money aud giving of the stock in seecurity. Tt is also claimed that the late Elias F. Morgan borrowed $S000 on a note and to secure payment, he deposited some stock. This note was either paid during the lifetime of Mr. Mor- gan or by his executors since, and the bank is still retaining and col- lecting the interest on these securi- ties unlawfully. The plaintiff asks that the bank be made to transfer and deliver stock and asks $50,000 damages. WOMEN DRIVES INTRUDER OFE WITH REVOLVER SHOTS 1 Eugene F.

CHANGE OF FARES WESTERLY DIVISION The Shore Line Electric Railway Company announces that a new tariff filed with the Interstate Commerce Cammission will become effective on Wednesday, October 23rd, 1918, With cartain exceptions thc new rates are based on a charge of five cents for a ride in a single zone, seven cents for a ride through or in two zones end three cents per zone for a ride in or through three or more zones. This is the/same basis upon which the fares have been charged for some time on all lines of the Shore Line System with the exception of the Norwich-Westerly and Westerly- Groton Lines and it is upon these lat- ter lines of the systom that the rates now become effective. For a ride between Westerly and Brook St, Noank, ‘the charge will be 34 cents in either direction, between Westerly and Groton 52 cents, and be- tween Westerly and New Londen the | charge will be 56 cents. These are the exceptions mentioned above. The inew rates are exclusive of the WAR TAX which will be collected in the same manner and on the same ba: as in the past. | The TRANSFER PRIVILEGES in | Westerly remain unchanged. In Nor- wich a five cent fare will be cal- lected between Silk Mill and Franklin ‘Squar- and passenger will be en- titled to Norwich local transfer. When traveling in the reverse di- | rection, Norwich local transfer will be good for a ride to the Sitk Mill. At New London a special form of transfer will be sold for seven conts entitling passenger to ride from Naw London to Phelps and for nine cents | entitling passenger to ride from New London to Poguonnoc Siding on the Groton-Westerly Line. The same rates apply when traveling in the opposite direction. COMMUTATION TICKETS will be handled as at present and a mini- mum of three PUPILS’ TICKETS will be accepted for a ride within one zone. All other collections of pupils’ | tickets will be half the adult fareand where a fraction of a cent isinvalyed, the next highest whole number of I tickets will be taken up. The need for the increase is top weli known to require any comment. The increased tost of everything en- vterinp into the transportation serv- icé has been so great that many roads are involved in senous financial dif- ficulties and the delay in applying the new rate on the particular rates af- fected has been due to the fact that {the Interstate Commerce Commission has been swamped with applicatiens for increased rates, all of which had - to be acted upon in their turn. { THE DIME SAVINGS BANK OF NORWICIL The regular Semi-Annual Dividend has beem declared at the rate of 4 per cent. a year from the earnings of the past six months, and will be panb\e on and after Nov. 1918, FRANK L.
