SAN FRANCISCO, April 15-The dis.
missal OF Frank M. Stone, as attor.
ney of the Peoples Home Savings
bank, is the latest phase of the trouble
OF that unfortunate financial institution.
This action was taken by the directors
yesterday, and is said to have been the
immediate consequence of the attacke
upon the McDon1lds by Stone, who
seemed to expect such a elimination
OF the differences, for he is alleged to
have drawn his salary for 1891 in ad-

of the bank have un der consideration
the bringing of disbarment proceedings
against Stone if he does not disgorge.
