Special Dispatch to The Call SAN JOSE, Jan. 9.—The heirs of the late Adam Sweigert have compromised their differences. Miss Carrie Swelgert, who opposed the ppointment of Jonathan Sweigert as administrator of his father's estate, has withdrawn her objection. In the com nt filed a few days ago she had alleged that Jonathan Sweigert, who acted as agent of his father, has withheld some $28,000 collected as rents of property and some $70,000 received from the sale of certain Kearny-street property in Francisco. b When the case was called the deposition of Jonathan Sweigert was filed. The dis- missal of the opposition was by Judge Slack. Judge Hyland granted it and appointed Sweigert executor of the estate without bonds. The deposition ex- plained in detail the transactions in ques- tion relative to the property. The agreement between the heirs is said to be that the estate shall be divided as the lost deeds provided and t there shall be an equal division of the $37,500 cash in bank; also that the ecivil suit brought by Mrs. Schmoll against Jona- than Sweigert for $25000 shall be d missed. Jonathan Sweigert evidently holds the upper hand, and the opposition heirs were afraid that the defense fund of $37,500 provided by the testator to pro- tect his will would stand in court. By the terms of the will the estate is divided equally between Jonathan Sweigert, Schmoll and the children of a dec son.

PERSONAL ACCOUNTS AND MONEY AFFAIRS. (Continued.) The Bank Account. Girls should have a knowledge of the routine of a bank account even though they have not two shillings to rub to- gether. It isn’t convenient to take cook- | ing lessons while the family is waiting | for dinner, neither is it wise to dela vy the collection of a check while one takes a course of study in banking. There are certain fundamental things which girls and boys should know, and these should | without reference to their fu- ture usefulness; they are bound to be needed some time, and usually they are most needed when least expected. Banks provide a place for the safe-keep- ing of money and securities, and they make the payment of bilis much more convenient than if currency instead of checks were the more largely used. But the great advantage of a banking institu- tion to business men is the opportunity affords them of borrowing money, of securing the cash for the ng on of while their own capital is or in the hands rs. Another and important advantage is to be found In the facilities afforded b banks for the collection of checks, notes and drafts. When you enter a bank to open an ac- count inquire for the ¢ ier, and, If con- venient, take with you some one who can introduce vou and identify you as the per- son you profess to be. If you go alone do not feel hurt if a number of questions are asked you. While you may be per- honest, a large number of people their living by being sharp, and, be- it is necessa to establish those of their debt fectly sides, in all financial transactions, so that the cashier may know something more about than he could ascertain by merely looking at you and taking your name. The cashier will have you place your sig- nature in a book or on a card. Your name as written should be the same in style as you Intend to place on your checks. Your signature should be suf- ficiently characteristic to be alway purs. If necessary the ca ifer or some officer of the bank will show you how to make out a de it slip. He will give you also a small bank book, in which you will be credited with the amount of money which you depo: time you deposit money you will be .

When you deposit money hand it to the receiving teller, and when you wish to draw money present to the paying teller. ‘When You wish to have your bank book bal- anced hand It to the receiving teller or to such officer as he may designate. This is usually done on the first of each month. The paid or canceled checks are given vou in a day or two, when your bank book is returned. These should all be filed in an orderly way. They serve as vouchers and may be useful in legal complications. Drawing a Check. A check Is an order for money, drawn by one who has funds in the bank, pay able on demand. It is in reality a sight bank. Banks provide blank checks for their customers, and it very simple matter to fill them out pro erly. In writing in the amount begin at the extreme left of the line. The illus- which you are tration given here is taken from a check ‘raised:” which could be easily recefver could, for in- eventy'’ before the word 8 before the figure ‘9, and in this way raise the check from $J to $79 or he could change the “nine” to “ninety a the $9 to $80. If this were done and the check cashed the maker, and not the bank, would become responsible for the loss. You cannot hold the bank respon- sible for your carelessnesss. It is wise to draw a running line a~———n after the amount in words, thus preventing any ad- ditional writing. The signature should be in your usual style familiar to the paying teller. See that your check has a 2-cent The writer of A fraudulent stancy ite * “‘nine’ 1s which ought to exist | recognized | is a | | the check Is supposed to place the stamp { upon it and to cancel it by writing the date across the face. Banks sell check | books containing checks with the Govern- | ment stamps printed on the face. A | check is a draft or order on a bank and | need not necessarily be written in the pre- scribed form. Such an order written on a sheet of note paper with a lead pencil might be in every way a legally good check. Usually checks should ba | drawn “to order.” The words “pay to the order of John Brown” mean that tha money is to be paid to John Brown or to any person he ders paid to. It a check is drawn ay t arer’’ any per- son that is the bearer can collect it. he Paying teller may ask the person cashing the check to write his name on the back simply to have it for reference. In wr ing and signing checks use good black ink and let the copy dry a lttle before a blot- ter is used. You Must Be Identified. The banks of this country make it a rula not to cash a check that is drawn payable to order, unless the person presenting the "heck is' known at the bank or unless ne atisfies the paying geler that he is really the person to whorl the money is to be paid. It must be remembered, however, that a check drawn to order and then indor=ed In blank by the payee (the person to whm it is to be paid) is really payable to bear- er, and if the paying teller is satisfied that the payee's signature is genuine he widl not likely hesitate to cash the check England all checks apparently prop indorsed are paid without identificatior In drawing a check in favor of a p n not likely to be well known in banking circles write his address or business after his name on the face For instance, if you would send a c! John Smith, Boston, it might pos: into the hands of the wrong John S but if you write the check in fav “John Smith, 49 Tremont street, Boston it is more than likely that the right per- son will collect it. If you wish to get check cashed where you are unknown, and it is not convenient for a friend wh has an account at the bank to go wit you for the purpose of identification, him to place his signature on the back c? your check, and you will not likely trouble In getting it cashed. By his signature on the back of the guarantees the bank agair is responsible for the signa positors, but it cannot be know the signatures of reliable identifier is in reality who is responsible. Indorsing Checks. In indorsing checks note th h. points: 1. Write across lengthwise. 2. If your indorsem first write it an Inch or two tap of the back: if it is not the dorsement, write immediately under the last indorsement. 3. Don't indorse wrong end up; the top of t ack is the left end of the face. 4 Write your name as you are accustomed to write it it 1s written on the fa no matter how 5. If you wish to make the check payable to some partic- ular person by indorsing, write 'Su\‘ to (name) or order,” and under this writ your own name as you are aceustomed to sign it Do not carry around indorsed checks loosely; such check: payalie to bearer and may be collected by a one. 7. If you recefve a check which has been transferred to you by a blank in- | dorsement, and you wish to hold it a da | or two, write over the indorsement tr | words, ““Pay to the order of (vourself) This is allowable legally. The ck car not_then be collected 8. An authorized stamped indorsem. 3 as good as a written one.
