n RECEIVER 1nefeIOf
Also for Fidelity Association.
WASHINGTON, December 1O.-Tn the
District Supreme Court to-day Judge Cox
decided to appoint receiver for the
Fidelity Building. Loan and Investment
Company. whose troubles at Pttsburg,
through the arrest there of its president.
Harrison Dingman. Of Washington, and
other officers on charges Of fraud, have
attracted considerable attention. The de-
cislon was based on an application made
by stockholders for the appointment Of
a receiver, which was argued to-day.

said that four other associations had, In
an amended BILL been made defendants
in the present suit. They were the
Fidelity Building and Loan Company,
the Columbia Building, Loan and Invest
ment Company. and the Fidelity Associa-
tion. All Of these said Mr.. Sohen, stated
that all these associations have one Office,
and one general vault for the reception
of funds and it appeared that the
Fidelity Association embraced all the
others.
Frank l.. Morllng. an expert accountant
employed by the association TO make an
examination of its books, read the result
Of his labors to the Court. lie said mat
his statement applied only to the Fidelity
Building. Loan and Investment Associa-
tlon. In the five years history Of the
association it had paid out more than
10000 to subscribers, leaving assets,
$99,027: liabilities. S993lS.
After Mr.. Williamson. for the defend
ants. had spoken against the appoint
ment Of receiver, and read an affidavit
from President Dingman and others, that
they had not engaged in fraud. Judge
Cox said he would appoint a receiver.
Late I'm the day Judge Cox, on the petit
ton OF James Z. =. Ramsay against the
Fidelity Building and Loan Association,
the original organization, agreed 10 the
appointment of a receiver for that COM
parry This makes two receivers.
