FREEDMAN'S BANK DEPOSITS,
Controller Dawes Paying OFF the
Barred Dividends,

During the past two or three weeks Con-
troller Dawes has been engaged in paying
the barred dividends revived by the act of
March 3, 1899, to depositors in the Freed
mans Savings and Trust Company.
Thus far about TT claims have been paid
varying in amounts from % cents to $40,
and agsregating about S1,10O. the average
payment being about $13. This average it
is assumed, will be considerably icssened
as the claims for smaller amounts are pre-
sented.
The principal obstacle in the way of a
speedy settlement of the smaller claims, Mr.
Dawes says. is the loss of pass books and
the death of depositOrs. making it difficult
to determine who is entitled to receive the
payments In many instances depostOrs
writing from distant points allege that they
have never received any of the dividends
and have lost pass books The rec
ords may show some dividends due
them but ii is not safe to send checks
to the writers for the amounts due without
some evidence of their identity. or proof
that they have not assigned sold their
claims to some person who may apply later
for the dividends, the act of February
II, 1881, provided for the transfer of claims
under certain conditions.
In other cases 1t is claimed that the de-
positor is dead, and a party representing
herself to be the widow of the depOsitor ap
plies for payment. Some evidence of her
legal right to the money must be furnished.
but the difficulty In the way of getting sat
isfactory proof of title lies in the fact that
the amounts due in almost every one of
this class of claims is small, in many
instances being less than 81, that 1T would
work a hardship to the claimants to follow
the usual course in such matters of reQuir
ing affidavits and a bond of indemnity, as
it would cost them as much to obtain these
almost as the amount they would receive in
return.
Mr.. Dawes desires TO make it as easy as
possible for claimants to receive what IS
due them, but as pass books have been pre-
sente1 showing erasures of dividends paid
in some cases, and III others the credit page
eff the book torn out altogether for the
purpose apparently of destroying evidence
OF payment, it is necessary for him to pro-
ceed with care
The production of the pass book greatly
facilitates payment, and Mr. Dawes says
the owners of such books should make every
effort to find them, if in existence, and for
ward them to the commissioner in apply
ing for payment.

REDUCED ONE POINT.
Policeman Punished for Violating the

The Commissioners have ordered that
Policeman F. M. Cornweli, recently found
guilty of conduct unbecoming an officer,
shall be reduced one point in line of promo

moval from the force"
Private CornweH was charged with hav
ing on or about the 18th of last December

dition, entered the bar room premises of
Robt H. Key and with then and there taking

OF 81 from Key December last. admitted
beng in his place. but explained that at the
time he was on leave of absence.
In forwarding the findings to the Commits
sioners, Chief Sylvester lndorsed them as
follows:
These proceedings came to me completed
March >. 1899, and upon giving them an i'm
partial reading and consideration. it is evil
dent that Private Gornwell, although on
leave of absence, departed from the bounds
of prOpriety when he visited those In whom
he could have no concern at any time eX
cept when on duty; and | must express my
astonishment, if not indignation, that an
officer of CornWells intelligence and ex-
perience should become SO familiar with
person whom he was attempting to appre-
hend for violating the law as TO accept
favor at his hands The officer, when he
did SO, assumed an obligation contrary to
the regulations and instruction, and at once
lessened his efficiency, which he fortunately
for his own honor and that of the depart
ment, in a measure repaired by proceeding
against his would-be benefactor, so as to
relieve any doubt of an Intentionally illegal
act.
Stripped of the most unpleasant fea-
lures, the fact remains that the officer
placed himself under obligations to a citi-
Zen resilient upon MS beat, when there was
no friendly relationship to warrant it. an
act at once unbecomng and irregular.
Upon the strength of his previous good rec
ord and the testimonials of his associates
l recommend that, in lieu Of removal from
the force for this first offense, he be re-
duced one point in line of promotion, and be
required to make prompt payment of the
loan"
