PAR K | | | | \ { | | Interests in Dozen Battleships Building to Be Pro- l tected. | WASHINGTON, June 20.—Attorney | General Knox had prepared to-day a | stipulation in the nature of a bond ! | which, on Monday, will be filed Wllh; Judge Grinnan of the Chancery Court of | Richmend, practically covering the Gov- | ernment’s interest in the cruiser Galves- | ton. This stipulation or bond, it is as- | serted, will more than cover the claims | | of the creditors against the Trigg Com- | | pany for work done and material used on | | the ship. After the stipulation is flled, it | is belleved, Judge -Grinnan will immedi- | | ately release the ship to the Government. It was learned at the Navy Department | to-day that far greater interests are in- | volved in the decision of the guestion of the possession of the crulsers Galveston and Chattanooga than are represented by | actual cash value of these bomss. It is | regarded as absolutely essential at this | | stage to establish a sound precedent and | determine the question of title to war vessels under construction, in order to protect the Government's interests in the ownership of at least a dozen ships, in- THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SUNDAY, PRAGERS PRAGERS | JUNE 21, 1903.

RICHMOND, Va., June 20.—In thé mat- ter of creditors asking that the William | R. Trigg Shipbuilding Company be ad- judged a bankrupt, Judge Waddell ren- dered a decision to-day that the appoint- ment of a receiver by the Chancery Court of the city of Richmond on De- cember 22, 1902, which was the act of bankruptey complained of in the petition, ld not be taken advantage of under amendment of February 9, 1903. Judge Waddell holds that the amendment is not oactive and could not extend ‘to the appointment of a receiver prior to Feb- ru 5, 1503, as was the case In the ap- | pointment of a receiver for the Trigg Company. It is probable that this decision may further complicate the situation in re- spect to the cruiser Galveston. | ———————— | | $4.00 Silk Waists, $1.95.

Net NEW YORK, June 20.—The Financier this week says: The most notable feature of the official statement of the New York Associated Banks last week was the slight Increase in the net cash gain, com- pared with the estimates of the increase | which were based upon the traceable movements of money during the week. The official returns showed a net increase of $359,800, while the estimated gain was $5.231,400. It i= difficult to account for the dis- crepancy, for, after making all allowances for averages, it would seem that there should have been a much greater increase in cash than was shown. Possibly cash resulting from the liquidation of the loans directly made in our market by country banks may have been withdrawn cultural Fair Association has decided to | ave the question of holding a fair this | vear to the people and a mass-meeting | has been called for next Friday night. | The report of the treasurer showed a balance of $159 76 on hand and as there | will be no State appropriation this year | it was deemed best to consult the citizens in the matter of holding the fair. Here- tofore the street fairs have been abso- lutely free, the expenses being defrayed by the State appropriation, augmented by subscriptions from merchants. There being such a small sum on hand the di- rectors did mot feel like shouldering the responsibility of a fair unless the people expressed a decided wish in its favor.

Telephone Main 1646, Wholesale Dealers that trust companies, which have this week been large losers in the market, have drawn down the cash balance on de- posit with their banks. The loans show an increase of $1,459,100, instead of a decrease, as was expected. The deposits increased $2,949,600 which amount quite closely corresponds with the | total of the increase in loans of net cash. | The reserve requirements wefe augmented | by $727,400, through the increase in de- posits. Deducting this sum from the gain in cash leaved $622,300 as the increase in surplus reserve, which now is $10,099,585. Calculated upon the basis of deposits, less those of $17,201,700 publio funds, the surplus is $19,425,000." Circulation shows a slight increase of $2700, and the excess of loans over de- posits, which in the previous week were $18,532,300, is now $15,041,800. The average daily clearings during the week were $212,000,000, against $235,000,000 in the week ending June 13, and the clearings on Saturday, reflecting the business of the day before, were $1,000,000 below the daily average., Comparisons of changes in Icans show that four banks increased this item by $1,900,000, and one of those insti- tutions recbrded a gain of $4,200,000. The changes in spécie show a net increase of $3,000,000. e ee——————— Crowds Cheer Liberty Bell.

WANTS REGENER FOR PIPE TRUST Stockholder Alleges Ex- travagance and Mis- management. —_— TRENTON, N. J., June 20.—Application was made in the Court of Chancery to- day by Andrew H. McNeal of Burlington, N. J, for the appointment of a receiver for the United States Castiron Pipe and Foundry Company, which has fourteen plants at different points throughout the United States. The company was incor- porated about three years ago with an authorized capital of $30,000,000. McNeal charges extravagance and mis- management. He further charges that the company has been operated more with a regard for the exploiting of the com- pany’s stock In the stock market than for the vractical utilization of the company’'s works; that from its organization the company's management was dominated by General Samuel Thomas, whose prin- cipal occupation, McNeal says, was that of a promoter of companies and exploiter of stocks, McNeal further charges tnat since the spring of 1901 the company was dominated by its president, G. B. Hayes, whose as- sociates, he alleged, were financiers and exploiters of stocks. It is averred that the plant at Buffalo is «perated at a loss of $400,000, and that the plants at West Superior, Bridgeport, South Pittsburg and Newport were dismantled and rendered useless and that all of these plants were acquired at excessive prices. It is also charged that for the purpose of exploit- ing stock, statements to the public were published showing nearly $1,000000 sur- plus, which McNeal claims is not true.

The treatment was absolutely without pain or unpleasant features of any kind; in fact, the pain of the cancer was entirely relieved after the first three treatments.” It only required twenty-five applications of the Electro-Chemic X-Ray to cure me, and the time and expense were as nothing compared to the rellef from my suffering.” (Signed) E, 1.
