Building andsLoau

| New Orleans, La, Feb. 1G-The ninth
| annual convention of the United States
! League of Local Building and Loan AS
sociations was called TO order here yes
terday by National President j. w Bal
! ley, of Somerville, Mass AT the conclu-
sion of the presidents report, creden-
| t;als We're acted on, and then Secretary.
III. Il. Cellarius read his annual report
Secretary Cellarius. of Cincinnati,
said in his annual report:
There has been a substantial inn
provement In the building and loan as
sociations in the past six months par
t.cularly In those states which in the
last two years have been making a
rather discouraging showing. namely:
Illinois. Missouri and Indiana; and
while building associations generally
have in some degree been feeling the
enects of the retroactive movement in
these states, the encouraging change is
being perceptibly felt. There is a bet
ter undertone. which gives assurance
that these associations are to resume
their proper standing in popular esti-
nation, and this means much for their
future success. They must. however,
adhere TO simple and safe business
methods, be properly managed and di-
yected, and then they will again merit
and receive public approval There
never was a time when 1t was so neces-
sary to ever bear in mind the simple
and fundamental principles which in
the past have made the associations
strong, popular and successful Build
ling associations are today confronted
with changing conditions and their bus
mess methods require some adjustment.
but this is no reason for radical de-
parture from the tried, safe and simple
rules of true cooperative building as

New York. Feb. ia temporary in

Company in Jersey City. restraining it
from increasing its capital stock The

ital stock in order to take in the Gug-
genleim refinery.
The complaint on which the tempo-
rary Injunction was issued alleges that
the American Smelling and Refining
Company had no surplus or working
capital on January l. 901, and that in
stead on that date its capital was actu-
ally and to a considerable extent i'm
paired. 1t is also alleged that the
Gusgenheim properly is not worth more
than sl0.000000 and that the purchase
| is proposed TO be made by an issue Of
new stock of the American Smelling
and Refining Company to the extent of
$4,000. 600 on basis of so per cent for
the preferred and 80 for the common
stock. 1t is declared that the proposed
purchase would establish complete
monopoly in the business of smSlting
and refining gold and silver ores IN the
United States and Mexico and would
therefore be subjected to all the penal
ties which are prescribed by the stat
utes Of the United States against trusts
and moncpoies

was served was special one called for
