SUES BANK RECEIVERS.
Mr. HnIIer Objects to Statement That
He Is Practically InsoIvent.

Nicholas 7. Haller yesterday filed suit
in the Supreme Court of the District
against Alexander Wolf and Charles Fran
els Carusi, two Of the receivers of the
American Savings Bank. to recover $20,0
because. in a petition filed in equity a
few days ago, they referred TO the plain
tiff as Nicholas 7. Haller, an architect
practically insolvent."
The suit will, in measure. decide
whether or nse receivers appointed by
the District GS6rt are liable for allega-
tions made with reference to the status
of the matters turned over to them for
investigation ana settlement.
The American Savings Bank. of which
Haller was one of the three organizers,
suspended payment some time ago. On
the petition of Haller the court appointed
receivers to take charge of the affairs
OF the bank. In his petition Haller
stated that he was a stockholder to the
amount Of $4,000.
In q report 10 the court submitted some
time ago, the receivers stated that the
bank was organized with an ostensible
capital stock of $50 ,000, but that only $270
was paid in in cash, the balance being
made up of demand notes.
In his declaration, Haller also takes
execution at references made by Wolf and
Carusi to a statement made in their Pc
tition proposing to relate his method of
dealing in vacant land. He is represented
by Charles w. Darr and Joseph salomon
as counsel.

TEE CHURCH AND THE RICH.
DIR. Williams Considers II II Mistake
tn Cater TO Wealthy CIuss.

With General Shallenberger, the Fourth
Assistant Postmaster General, presiding,
The twentyfourth annual convention OF
ihe Columbia Association of Baptist
Churches of this city was opened last
night in Calvary Baptist Church, Eighth
and II Streets northwest. In a few brief
but welI-chosen remarks General Shallen-
berger rendered welcome to the meet
ing. as did the pastor of the church, Rev.
Dr.. Greene.
During the evening prayers were Of
fered by Rev. Dr. c. C. Meador, pastor
OF the Fifth Baptist Church, and c. C.
Coleman. the interesting and youthful
pastor of the West End Baptist Church.
After the church choir had rendered
the old familiar Doxology, Rev. DR.. G.
s. Williams. the pastor of the Metro
politan Church, was introduced by Gem
eral Shallenberger DR.. Williams was
scheduled to deliver the annual sermon
to the members of the association.
In q voice that rang throughout the
immense chapel, the speaker told of the
mistakes made by churches in catering
to the wealthy class. He impressed upon
his auditors that it was not wealth that
speeded the advancement of a religious
body, but work. On the contrary he
said, there were many wealthy persons
who, according to statements made and
verified failed to contribute as much to-
ward the church's treasury as many of
the poorest of the congregation. The
addition of wealthy persons 10 the con-
gregation Of a church, said DR.. Williams,
only tended to lessen the religious body's
progress, and was nothing more than an
impediment to progress.
DR.. Williams also discussed to some ex-
tent the history of the church, recount
ing how it had been fought by various
monarchs, but had in the end survived to
see its enemies laid away in their final
resting place.
At the conclusion of DR.. Williams SER
mon a partial report of the committee on
order Of exercises was brought to the at
tention of the association. The meeting
closed with the singing of hymn by the
and benediction was asked
by the pastor
The convention will continue until
Thursday night, meetings being held
every morning, afternoon, and evening in
Calvary Baptist Church.

1t is understood that the committee will
report in favor of lowering the corpora
tion assessment, as was outlined when
the movement for such an association was
inaugurated, and that it will recon-
mend that the property be assessed at
Its full value. At the present way prop
erty is assessed, it is said that it is not
assessed at its real value. The members
of the association, it is said, believe that
if their plan is carried out II will induce
manufacturers to locate in this city. They
claim that the present rate of city as
sessment-Sl.90 on the S100-is a draw
back to people not familiar with the mode
of assessing.
1t is understood that a meeting will be
called before the next regular meeting
of the city council and that the plan pre-
pared by them will be adopted by the
members of the association. They will
then ask the city council to adopt the
same.

Court.

ALEXANDRIA, Va, Nov. 1s.-In the
| Corporation Court this morning Lula.
Williams, through her next friend, Emma
Ellis, Instituted suit to obtain divorce
from her husband, William Williams, and
to obtain custory of her two o-year-old
infant daughter, now in the possession Of
her husband All the parties to the suit
are colored. The complainant was repre-
sented by S G. Brent, and E. B. Taylor
and Charles Bendheim appeared for the
defendant.
Judge Norton heard the argument on
both sides as TO who should be entitled
to the care and custody CT the child pend
| ing the suit for divorce, and the amount
of alimony and counsel fees to be allowed
pending the suit. After hearing the evl-
! dence he delivered his opinion. He de-
| cided that the child should remain in the
custody of the father, but that the mother
should have the right TO visit it as often
as she should desire, until further order
from the court, and awarded the wife ali
mouy at the rate of $3.50 per month until
the final decree in the cause, and fees for
her counsel OF $50.
The father and mother of the child are
senarated. Several days ago the father
Of the child was in the Police Court on
comnlaint of having taken the child il
LEGALLY from the custody of the mother.
From the evidence elected at the hear
ing. il seemed that the father had taken
the child from the custody of its aunt,
who resides in Washington, and brought
it to his home in this city The
aunt telegraphed the mother, who was
then in New York. The mother OF the
child came TO Washington. and then came
To this CITY and had the father arrested.
The mayor. after hearing the evidence in
the case, decided that he had no authority
to act in the matter, and let the father
have the custody of the child.
