steamship men, and argued against the
prohibition of immigration for one year.
He expressed the belief that the mag

MUST PAY THE LOSSES.
Important Decision Affecting the
Responsibility of National
Bank Directors.
They Must Make Good to the
Stockholders Worthless Loans
Made by the Bank.

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. l6.-Jndge Finn
rendered decision today in the case Of
John Chetwood VS.. The California Ma
tiOnal Bank, which suspended Dec. 10,
1883. The action is brought by the
plaintiff, stakeholder in the bank,
against Richard r. Thomas, president
of the bank; Robert A. Wilson, vice
president. and Robert r. Thomp-
son, members of the board of di-
rectors, these three persons conStitut-
ing the executive committee of the
bank. The charges brought against the
members of the executive committee
are that they were negligent in the dis
charge of their duties; that they per-
mltted the cashier of the bank, q. III.
RamSGen, TO manage the whole business
as he saw fit, and to lend and dispose of
the bulk of the money without adequate
security, which resulted in great loss to
the bank and in its ultimate failure.
Three loans were specified, viz: Wood
ward, Wickham and Gunman, loans
which aggregate net loss to the bank
of 100000. Judge Finn in his decision
/ says:
sit appears from the evidence that
these loans were made by the cashier
without the knowledge of the executive
committee, and were of such charac-
| ter that no prudent bank officer would
have made them. | do not think that
/ the committee OF any of members
made any proper or reasonable effort tC
| discharge its duty urder the bylaws
1t imposed implicit confidence in the
| cashier and acquiesced in his control o
| the bank. 1t must then be held re
sponsible for any loss suffered by til,
bank of loans specified between the 9tl
day of July, 1883, and the day of it
failure. Further examination of TIT
J books will be necessary to ascertain thu
amount of these losses, and when 81
ascerta1ned Judgment will be entered
therefor with interest at per cent PEI
annum."
1t is estimated that the aggregate
| losses to the bank, with interest added
will foot up 100000

INHERITANCE TAX.
Proposed Amendments to the New
York Law.

NEW YORK, Dee. 1G.-State Comp
troller Frank Campbell VIII recommend
in his forthcoming report some amend
ments to the collateral inheritance law.
He believes that hereafter all estates
should pay per cent on requests over
100000 and nnderS1OO, 900, 2 per cent on
amounts between 100000 and $500, 600,
per cent between 100000 and 100000
and per cent on amounts exceeding
S1,O0O,OO0 Mr. Campbell's argument is
that during their lifetime millionaires
evade payment of just personal tax, and
the proposed amounts would enable the
state to tax the fortune equitably at
least once in a generation.
