RIPLEY ASKS FOR RECEIVERS.
THE STATE SAVINGS BANK CASE A
COMPLICATED ONE.

The Institutions Named in Receiver
RipIey's Application Are the Union
Loan and Trust Company, the Hale
InveStment Company, the Iowa
Life Insurance Company and w. G.
HnIe-The Trust Company Owes the
Bank S6.SOO and the Investment
Company Owes the Bank $1,000.
Atlanta. Ga, Feb. 25.-T. J. Ripley, re-
ceiver for the State Savings bank, to-day
filed a bill against the Union Loan and
Trust Company, the Hale Investment
Company Iowa Life Insurance Company
and w c. Hale, in which he asks for a
receiver for all and an injunction against
the Iowa Life Insurance company.
He alleges that the Union Trust COM
pany owns all the stock in the Hale In
vestment Company, that the Union Loan
and Trust Company is indebted to the
State Savings bank, $500, and that the
Hale Investment company owes the bank
5000. He alleges that the directors of
these two corporations own considerable
stock in the bank, and charges that the
Hale Investment Company has decided all
OF its real estate to the Union Loan and
Trust Company, that the Union Loan and
Trust Company has decided it all to w. c.
Hale, and that Hale has decided it to the
Iowa Life Insurance company.
lie alleges that all of these transfers
were made without consideration, and for
the purpose of hindering creditors in the
collection of debts and Therefore void, and
he asks that these deeds be cancelled.
He charges that the Union Loan and
Trust Company has established a branch
office in New York, and is fast moving
the assets in Atlanta to New York. The
branch Office he says is indebted to the
bank in the sum of S29S4.
The injunction was granted and the case
IS set for a hearing on March 6.
Some months before a receiver was ask
ed for for the Southern Mutual Building
and Loan Association, W. c. Hale. through
this organization of his called the Union
Loan and Trust Company sought TO make
a loan for the ostensible purpose of OBJ
tanning funds with which to pay off some
of the pressing Withdrawals of the build
ing and loan association. It transpred
that the Union Loan and Trust Company
deposited with the Iowa Life Insurance
Company, about $4,000 worth of its choic-
est assets on which there was advanced
$4,000, and it was contemplated TO make
still other advances in large sums. Pend
ing these negotiations a receiver was APP
piled for and the trouble began. Now the
Iowa Life Insurance Company holds these
securities as an innocent party, and can
not in law be made to turn them over, so
attorneys say, until after the company
has been reimbursed for the $4,000.

advisory board met to-day in secret ses-
sion, and after thoroughly considering
the trouble in the Atlanta artillery, rec

to the governor and demanded his resig-
nation
In addition to the court-martial of the

ground for the charges made against

of cheating and swlndling i'm the state
courts, and the charges against him are
of a very serious character.

ments of the state encampment, but some
details are yet TO he determined on.

military committee of the House appear
ed before the board and gave his views on
the disposition of the appropriation 1t

go into camp al NIedrim this year and that
$500 shall be given 10 the colored compan-
les. Eight thousand dollars was set aside
TO be used in purchasing overcoats for the
militia. but the apportionment of this was
not made.
The members of the board were all pres
ent as follows, except Col. Gordon of Sa-

tant general; Col. A. J. West quarter mas

New Light Thrown on the Sugar
Trusts Methods.

New York, Feb. 25-The Lexow COM
mttee investigating trusts to-day heard
Francis ii. Krenning of St. Louis.
wholesale grocer. He said he refused to
sign a factors agreement with the Amer
lean Sugar Refining Company and that
he had, consequently, to pay more for
sugar than those who had a factors
agreement.
Witness said that the American Sugar
Refining Company had attempted to ex-
clude the Louisiana planters sugar from
competition. In 1896 he declared that
those who held factors agreements with
the American Sugar Refining Company
were prohibited from handling Louisiana
planters sugar, but in 1897, they were al
lowed to handle it under certain restric-
tions.
From the testimony of the witnesses it
developed that the American Sugar Rein
ing Company, during the grinding season.
during which southern crop of the coun-
try is being produced, lowered the price
of sugar in st. Louis and Immediately af-
ter the grinding season caused the price
of its product to be increased.
The greater part of the day was devoted
to investigating the anthracite coal trust
but the developments were not striking.
The company has been requested to in
vestigate the alleged grain elevator trust
Chairman Lexow announced that the COM
mittee would ask the legislature to eX-
