THE FIDELITY TROUBLES
Charges Against the Receiver aid His Elk
p,anaticns in Court
The Order of Judge Cox In the Mat
ter-The Relationship of the
Two Associations.

Judge Cox today again considered the
questions arising in the settlement of the
affairs of the Fidelity Building. Loan and
Investment Association and the Fidelity
Building and Loan Association. Receiver
G. Hatley Norton of the latter association
vas charged with disobeying the order Of
the court restraining him from removing
from this jurisdiction certain papers, loans
and moneys. 1t was charged that he had
been appointed receiver as the result of
collision between him and the officers of
the association, it being alleged that the
two associations were really one in fact,
governed by the same officers, and the
affairs Of each practically the same. 1t
was charged also, that Mr.. Norton had
deposited in bank, at Alexandria, Va,
moneys belonging to District stockholders
Of the association, and had removed there
certain records of the association and evil
denceS of it's debts. 1t was, therefore,
prayed by certain stockholders here that
Mr.. Norton be ordered to deposit money
received from them in bank in this jurisdic-
ton, subject to the further order of the
all records and papers necessary to an
administration of the affairs of the asso-
cation by the District court.
The Receivers Explanation.
MIR. Norton denied that there had been
any collision In the matter, and stated that
he had removed nothing from this juris-
diction which should have been retained
here. He explained that he had first been
appointed receiver of the Fidelity Building
and Loan Association by the United States
circuit court of the eastern district of Vir-
ginia, and that as the association was a
Virginia corporation, with its Office at
Alexandria, he had simply conveyed to
that jurisdiction such records and funds
which, in his opinion, the Virginia court
was entitled to have there. Having also
been appointed receiver for the association
here, he had. he said. endeavored to so act
at all times to merit the approval of
both courts. He was both willing and
anxious, he stated, to obey the orders of
both courts, and would gladly assist the
receivers of the Fidelity Building, Loan
and Investment Association in every way
possible.
The Courts Direction.
The matter was discussed at some length,
counsel for the Virginia stockholders stat
ing that they were perfectly satisfied with
Mr.. Norton's management, and Judge Cox
finally directed that Mr.. Norton should
deposit moneys received from District
stockholders in District bank, subject to
the further order of the court. The Ques-
ton Of the relationship between the two
association was referred to the auditor OF
the court.

How the New Printing Act Has Cur.
tailed Their Distribution. =

Under the new printing act a difficulty
has arisen with reference to the publica-
ton of consular reports, which, unless
remedied. will have the effect of curtailing
their distribution. These reports, cover a
wide range of information as to the COM
merce and industries of foreign countries.
and their distribution to the public has
been of great value TO the merchants and
manufacturers of the United States Here
tofore the usual edition has been six thou
sand copies, and, in some cases where the
demand promised TO be particularly large,
this has been increased. These reports are
sent to chambers Of commerce, manufac-
turing and trade organizations, libraries,
business firms, newspapers. and to many
individual applicants. Much of the mat
ter published in trade journals is OBJ
tanned from them Advance sheets are
also published from time to time, contain
Ing the more important reports, and these
are forwarded promptly to those desiring
them. AS soon as the reports are received
from the consular officers they are placed
at the disposal of the representatives OF
the newspaper press, and almost every
day extracts from them are published in
the leading newspapers of the country.
Besides the regular monthly reports, spe-
cial numbers, containing reports on par
ticular subjects, are issued as the condi-
tons seem TO require.
Reducing the Editions.
Heretofore the matter has been entirely
within the control of the Department of
State which has had an annual appropria
ton of $4,000 to expend for this purpose.
The public printer has, however, taken the
ground that under the provisions OF sec
ton 50 of the new printing act, approved
January r. 1896, he is not authorized to
print Il greater number of these reports
than one thousand copies during the pres
ent fiscal year. except by order Of Con-
gress. The department contends that it
was rot the intention of Congress to de-
part from the established custom of print
ing and distributing these reports, and
that the whole course Of legislation on the
subject shows that Congress has fully
appreciated their Importance to the COM
rierca of the country, and. so far from
restricting, has intended to secure the
widest circulation of them.
