A constant procession of | ] | “kide,” hidden so completely under the ! oads of wond that it took a minute in-| spection to discover the motive power be- neath the boards, marched down the hill to their homes and came back for fresh loads. Even the timbers used for underpinning to the bullding were withdrawn by the ralders, and the watchmen became aware of the insecure ho'd the structure had to its perch on the steep hillside. They be- gan to warn away the crowds, and used laths freely on the scampering youngsters. The precautions were none too soon, as the building bent beneath the strong wind without warning and then dove with a crash down the hiil. The hofse was heard for several blocks, and telephone messages were sent for am- bulances and police assistance, under the impression that a number had been buried | in the ruins.

Instead of an im- portant reduction In loans, as was confidentl qukw! for, there was an increase of S04, 800 following & gain of $884,200 in the previo Yoek, making $1,40,000 for ‘the " fortnight. he Jnly teasonablé explanation which can bo the expected decrease in loans d p s is that th contracts which were liquidated as. the rosels of the uneettled stock market were replaced :Nflh the purchasers of stocks early last week 1nd4 ltml the loans to the Pennsvivania Rail- way Company, which were repaid, were orig- inally effected with trust companies and insti- futions ;flher than the banks and, therefore eir cancellation was n ec e {hat thelr cance ot reflected in the The cash reserve showed the important de- | crease of §7,014,900, or $1,320,2 e Cstimated gain’ which ‘was " based uoi 1ne ble movement of money. This discrep. may, however, be accounted for by the fact that on the last day of the bank week the assistant treasurer was credited at the clearing-house with $1,764,143, caused by the payment through the banks to the treasury of a Central Pacific note for $2.040,635, and that this credit balance and the partially offsettin; payment by the Sub-Treasury of $§700,000 on account of a transfer of gold from San Fran. cisco were not included in the estimates. The deposits increased $7,480,900, which sum was $408.800 less than that called for by the gain of cash and the increase in loans, thercfore the statement did not balance. The required reserve against deposits was increased $1,570. 235, deducting this sum from the gain in’ oash left £5,144,675 as the increase in surplus re- ;;\;fl:#ch.'now stands at $24,000,075, against ,980,775 January 31, whic e hig $27,980.775 h was the highest Computed_upon the basis of d those 0f $37,281,400 public. funds. the. srmiey is £33,380,425. it is noteworthy that the de. posits are $903,300 in excess of loans against an excess of the latter over deposits of §8 520 - 90 In the previous week. _The change was ef. almost wholly through deposits, however, PE . P —_—————— WIFE OF STOCK BROKER SUES HIM FOR SUPPORT Helen Kuhl Alleges That Her Hus- band Has Not Provided for Her Since 1896. Helen Kuhl, wife of Hans G, Kuhl, a stock broker and member of the Btock Exchange, filed.a suit for maintenance against him yesterday. She also sues for an injunction restraining him from dis- posing of $3000 she alleges he received as his share of the proceeds of the recent sale of the Stock Exchange building. In Mrs. Kubl's complaint it is alleged that she became the wife of Kuhl July 23, 1895, and that in May of the following year he deserted her, leaving her upon her own resources. She says that he has an income of more than $150 a month and 2008000500000000 ‘Watchés and Jewelry Repaired at Reasonable Prices. ] she says she needs 350 of that amount to defray her living expenses, Financler | this failure of the statement to ghow | e ENRY T. SCOTT, chairman of the board of directors of the Union Iron Works, was recalled | to the witness stand in the United States Circuit Court yes- | terday and testified that there is little or no profit made in bullding battleships for | the Government. He stated that the con- | tract for the Wisconsin amounted to | 82,500,000 and that after three years' labor the buildefs only made $14,000 profit. This testimony was glven in the pro- | ceedings brought by Roland B. Conklin | and ‘other stockholders in the United | States Shipbullding Company, the glgantic corporations which owns nearly eall of the big shipyards of the coun- try. The Mercantile Trust Company of New York 1is combating , the attempt made by the complainants to have a recelver appointed. Mr. Scott has already testified that a receiver was un- necessary, as the Union Iron Works is & solvent corporation. Judge Curtis H. Lindley of this ¢ity and Henry Wollman | of New York, who represent the small | stockholders, have secured the appoint- ment of ex-Senator James Smith Jr. of New Jersey as receiver for various ship- | yards which belong to the trust. They have appealed to Judge Beatty to appoint | him to look after the local shipyard and have suggested that Henry T. Scott might act as his agent. Vast interests are in- volved and the case is attracting a great deal of attention throughout the United | States. JUDGE LINDLEY ARGUES. After Mr. Scott had left the stand Judge | Lindley continued his argument begun | Friday. The first proposition that he | brought up was the statement that the 'nion Iron Works, while apparently pro- i(‘eedlng and conducting its affairs as an | independent company,” was, as a matter | building Company, which owns the entire plant and all the stock of the old Union Iron Works. He said while the conduct of its business has been so independent, the decree of the New Jersey court has practically brought it under the control of.the Federal courts, with all of the assets of the constituent plants, wherever the same are situated in the United States; that the directors of the ship- building company have abandoned" their functions, their president has resigned, and unless this court recognizes the ac- tion of the New Jersey court in the ap- pointment of Mr. Smith as receiver, there !is no one to represent its interests in this | jurisdiction. The Union Iron Works plant, while looked upon popularly as be- ing an independent plant, is merely an asset of the United States Shipbuilding | Company and must necessarily be dealt with in the general wind-up of the af- fairs of that company in the administra- tion of the general trust imposed by the United States Circuit Court of New Jer- sey upon Mr. Smith as receiver, the at- torney sald. Judge Lindley sald that by a uniform line of decisions of the Federal courts, United States Supreme and Circuit, the re- | ceiver named by the court of primary jurisdiction who takes first charge of the ADVERTISEMENTS.

SCOTT OF THE UNILN IRON WORKS WHO TESTIFIED IN | THE UNITED STATES CIRCUIT COURT YESTERDAY IN CONNEC- TION WITH THE RECEIVERSHIP PROCEEDINGS. SAYS WAR VESSEL BUILDING | DOES NOT GIVE BIG PROFIT Henry T. Scott Testifies That Union Iron Works Does Not Fill Its Coffers Constructing Fight- ing Ships for the United States Government case in the domiclle of the corporation is appointed as a matter of course to take | charge of the assets in the ancillary ju- | risdiction. “This recelver, when ap-| pointed, will act for all parties, including bondholders and stockholders,” he said. “The recognition by the Cglifornia Fed-| eral courts of Mr. Smith as receiver will | in no way tend to impede the operation of the Union Iron Works’ plant. Ever since the United States Shipbuilding Company was organized the Union Iron Works, and Mr. 8dott as the head of its executive di- rectory, have acted purely as the agents and representatives of the United States | Shipbuilding Company. There is no rea- | son why Mr. Smith, when.once recognized | as recelver in this jurisdiction, should not confer upon Mr. Henry T. Scott, as his agent, the same powers which Mr. Scott is now exercising as the agent of the United States Shipbuilding Company. In other | words the business of the United States Shipbuilding Company as heretofore car- ried on will be carried on at the Union Iron Works' plant without interruption.” | QUOTES MANY AUTHORITIES. | Judge Lindley quoted numerous author- ities of the Federal courts on the question of receivership, showing that it was the uniform practice with the Federal courts in the domicile of the corporation placing a receiver In charge that all other Federal | courts by comity recognize that recefver and confirm his appointment. He said the | confirmation of Mr. Smith's appointment in this jurisdiction will in no way inter- | fere with the proper completion of the ! Government contracts, as ls manifest from a telegram from Secretary Moody to the recelver read in evidence yesterday. The opposition to the appointment of a ' receiver comes from a majority of the first mortgage bondholders united with what is known as the reorganization com- mittee, which is said to be under the con- trol of Mr. Schwab. In speaking on this| point Judge Lindley said: | “By the increase of the capitai stock | of the United States Shipbuilding Com- pany and the subsequent transfer to it of the stock of the Bethlehem Steel Com- pany Mr. Schwab became practically in control of the United States Shipbuilding | Company, and his stock, representing a voting power of $30.000,000 out of $45.000,000, gave him control of the United States Shipbuilding Company and of the reor-| ganization committee, which now opposed | the appointment of a recetver. The plan | of this reorganization committec presents to the bona fide bondholders and stock- holders the optlon of either acceding to the plan which will postpone their stocks and bonds to a prior lien to be created in favor of the Bethlehem Steel Company | (which is Schwab), or take the conse- | quences of the foreclosure of the first bond issue and the total wreckage of the | entire assets of the shipbuilding company. | There is a serious question as to the bona | fide issuance of a great many of the first mortgage bonds. It is claimed that many | were issued without consideration and | that these honds formed a part of the | pool, which has accepted the plan of re- | organization and is now opposing the ap- | pointment of a receiver. This is a mat- | ter, however, to be determined in the suit | to be brought by the recelver. All of Schwab's holdings, consisting of $30,000,000 | of voting power out of $45000,000, has | been lodged with the reorganization com- | mittee, the plan of which gives Schwab a geven-year voting trust and control of the | reorganized company for that length -of | time. MR. SCOTT IS RECALLED. Henry T. Scott was recalled to the wit- ness stand to enlighten the court about the profits derived from bullding battle- ships for the Government. He furnished a typewritten statement to the court and counsel and requested that it not be filed, as the information was of a private char- acter. The shipbuilder was interrogated by Mr. Wollman. “pfter the United States Shipbuilding Company took charge of the property here did it make any change in the presi- dency?” Mr. Scott was asked. “Yes, sir. It changed the by-laws and made the chairman the chief officer.” “Was Mr. Dodge made president?” “Yes, sir—by the directors, at the re- quest of the United States Shipbullding ! Company,” - “Did they send the auditor out here?” “Yes, sir; Mr. Hart came here.” “Did they send Mr. Jeffries out here?* “Yes, sir.” “What did he do?” “He was to take charge of the ship- yard—look after the buflding of battle- ships.” “Did they make any change in the sys. \Tweeds and Heather Suitings ’New Tailor Materials | | !
