ment on Sevnth National stock.

NEW YORK, Aug. 19.-Forrest Raynor,
as receiver for the Seventh National Bank,
began an action at law in the United States
Circuit Court to-day against Guy L. Major,
one of the stockholders of the Seventh

filed in the court. In the summons 1T is
stated that judgment for $4,000 will be
taken against Major if answer is not made
twenty days from Aug. 10, the date of the
filing of the suit.
At the office of counsel for Receiver
Raynor il was said the suit was begun
against Major because il was learned that
he was about to sail for Europe and be-
cause he had not made good the assessment
levied by the controller of the currency
on his stock. Mr.. Major said the suit was
for the assessment on the stock of the
bank levied by the controller of the cur
rency, but he said that he owed nothing.
Mr.. Major said later with regard TO the
suit:
II had $50 shares of stock. bur disposed
of 500 shares. The man to whom l sold that
stock gave me a contract in which ne
agreed to assume all responsibility at
taching to the ownership of 1t. The pur-
chase took place long before the controller
ordered the assessment. As l had no
further interest in that stock / paid the
assessment only on the thirty-nine shares
| still retained. l understood that the
man who bought the 500 shares from me
has not paid the assessment on it,"

was a report by the minority of the com

these corporations from doing business in

G.. E.. CORKRAN'S TURN.
He Has Receivers Appointed for Two
Lumber C~ompanies.

BALTIMORE, Aug. 19.-Receivers were
appointed here to-day for the Parkton
Lumber Company, of Baltimore county.
and the Chesapeake Lumber Company, of
this city, on the application of Charles E.
Corkran, who asserts that he is the princi-
pal stakeholder in both concerns. The pc
titions in both cases allege that the COM
panies are insolvent because of the mis-
conduct and mismanagement of an officer
of the corporations interested.
The proceedings taken to-day form a
sequel to the suit entered on Saturday last
in the courts of Baltimore county, in which
a receiver was appointed for the Manor
Lumber Company, on petition of Benjamin
Cross, of Cincinnati, who alleged that the
Manor and other similar companies were
organized and used by Corkran in further
ance OF a plan to defraud certain banks by
means of worthless commercial paper. n
sweeping denial of these charges has been
made by COrkran, who claims that Cross.
in bringing suit, is actuated by malicious
motives and a desire TO shield an accused
relative from punishment for the commits
sion of frauds in connection with some of
CorkranS ventures.

HOD CARRIERS APPRAISED
THEY MAY MARCH BEHIND COLORED
NONUNION BAND.
Musicians Union Is Not Pleased, but
Denies Having Spoken of n
..Skunk" Band.

The contention between the Labor-day
committee and the Musicians Union over
allowing the Hold Carriers Union to march
in the Labor-day parade with a nonunion
colored band, was practically settled yes
terday at a joint conference between the
executive board of the Musicians Union and
a committee composed of Marshal Charles
Roster, his aids and the music committee
of the Labor-day committee. The meeting
was held behind closed doors in the Mu-
sicians' Hall. and a reporter who entered
the room was told that "all who are not
members of the committee please with
draw
The representatives of the Labor-day
committee laid before the executive board
its instructions from the general commit
tee. These instructions were that the La
bor-day committee had itself decided the
question and that an invitation would be
given to the Hold Carriers Union TO partici-
pate in the parade. The members of the
executive board were adverse to the atti-
tude of the Labor-day committee and there
was much haggling over details relating to
their objection. After the matter was
threshed out the musicians finally agreed
to let the decision rest with the general
committee. This question was practically
decided at the meeting of the Labor-day
committee Sunday, when ii instructed
Marshal Roster TO invite the Hold Carriers
Union to march in the parade with a col
ored band if it wished.
Last night, Marshal Roster went to the
meeting of the hOd carriers to extend a
personal invitation. and found things there
In a disconnected state. Many of the MEM
bers of the union had misunderstood the
action of the Labor-day committee and
thought that the committee was against
them. Marshal Roster assured the mem
bers that such was not the case, that the
committee had acted in their favor and
had even fought their battle" He said
the only objection offered was by the Mu-
sicians' Union, and that was against the
%nonunion band and not against the hod car
riers' organization, and this matter had
been adjusted. The hod carriers seemed re-
luctant about accepting the invitation, and
postponed the action until another meet
ing. 1t is believed, however, that they will
decide to march with their band in the
parade, since the LabOr-day committee
went to the trouble to clear up all misun-
derstanding and give them the privilege of
having their own band. The Hold Carriers
Union has a membership of about four
hundred. and it is said all will turn out, if
they decide to march.
The Musicians Union is divided on the
action taken by that organization regard
ing the attitude toward the colored band.
1t was denied that the union had called the
colored organization a skunk band, the
statement that caused a furore in colored
organized labor circles.

Its Work VIII he Finished Thursday

eff you hear whistles blowing and bells

Frank Martin, secretary of the State Tax
Board, you will know that the Tax Board
has finished the business of the session of
1901 ard adjourned sine die. We will all be
glad when Thursday night comes. for this
has been one of the hardest sessions in the
life of the board"
The Tax Board will hear the last appeals
from its assess nents to-day, and to-mor-
row and Wednesday will be devoted to re-
vising and completing the assessments Of
corporate property in the State. At yes
terday's session of the Tax Board a great
deal was said by persons protesting against
corporate assessments about the fierce COM
petition of the Central Union Telephone
Company in various Indiana towns and
cities. Nelson G. Hunter. speaking for the
and State Senator Will r.. Wood and ii. G.
Taylor, of Lafayette, speaking for the La

peals for reductions in their assessments.
Charles j. Roberts, attorney, and Charles
r.. johnson, superintendent, of the Madison
kirkpatrick * Morris attorneys for the
KOkomo Electric Light and Street-railway
Company, declared that the street-railway
part OF their companies was a losing in
vestment.
Senator Joseph Shea, of Scottsburg. repre-
senting the Southern Indiana EXPIRES Com
pany, said that by an error the returns OF
that company had shown that its capital
was increased prior 10 April ]. and intro
duced afidavits to prove that the increase
was not made until May l, which would
preclude assessment of the increase before
April 1. 1902.
Horace Il. Smith. of the local law firm
of Hav Gns az Smith, appeared to ask a
reduction of the assessment placed by the
Tax Board on the Chicago, Indiana & East
ern Railroad. owned by Harry Gould, the
Muncie baseball magnate. Mr.. Gould uses
the road chiefly to bring people to Muncie
to witness the skillful work of his ball
team. Mr.. Smith said the board had made
a mistake in assessing the road at $1,000 a
mile. since II had only been barely finished
by April l of this year and was not in
running condition on that date.
