INVESTORS MAY REALIZE
Anglo-American Association May Pay
Twenty Cents on the Dollar.
The Receiver Testifies That Company's
Annual Income Was S50Ooo' and
That Expenses Were $4,000.

New York City.-From investiga'
tions completed by Deputy Attorney
General kisselburgh, representing
the State Banking Department, 1t
would appear to be practically GER
tain that the Anglo-American Savings
and Loan Association, with liabilities
on November 20 last of $3,013, ,3O5.59,
will pay less than twenty cents on the
dollar to its shareholders, and that the
attempt of it's directors to stave of re-
ceivership liquidation by transferring
the company's extensive holdings or
real estate to q separate real estate
company will come to naught.
Deputy Acknowledgement kissel-
burgh will also represent to the Court
at the proper time that in the annual
statement of the company. signed by
the directors, the mortgages executed
by Mr.. Pearce, one Of the directors Of
the company, which figure in the COM
pany's table of assets as S4.342, ,S12.O4.
were represented as interest bearing
loans, whether Intentionally or other
wise. and that such representation
makes the directors subject to criminal
prosecution if the State authorities de-
sire to construe the statement as per-
jury.
Joseph NJ. Dickey, one of the tenn
porary receivers Of the Association,
testified in the referees proceedings
before former Judge George G. Rcy-
nolds that in a general way, so far
rs he had been able to judge from his
handling the affairs of the company
for two or three weeks, the expenses
of the company for the last year had
been about $150,000, while the income
had been only about $4,000.
The Anglo-American Association is
now declared to be q bankrupt con-
Germ. There is no money in it's treas
ury with which to pay the sharehold
ers, and suit has been begun by sever
al dissatisfied investors with view to
forcing foreclosure proceedings. Peo-
pie in every walk of life have put mon
ey into this concern, because of the
prominence of the men at its head, and
the big inducements it offered.
From seven 10 ten per cent per an
mum was guaranteed to investors. and
for O. time these promises were full
filled. Somehow, it became noised
about that the Association was making
large speculations in wildcat real es-
tate, and a general rush of sharehold-
ers to secure their money began.
The treasury was soon depleted and
the Association was forced to an
nounce it's inability to liquidate out
standing obligations.

Shocking Double Murder and Suicide at
Albany, n. Y.-Husband's Statement.
Albany. N. Y.-Louis Carrier, forty
years old, cut his wfe's throat with
razor, battered in the head of his
twelve-year-old child Archie, and then
cut the lads throat, after which he
cut his own throat with razor, and
drank a glassful of paris green. The
double murder and suicide took place
at Carriers home, Al Alexander street.
Carrier and his wife had been mar
ried about thirteen years. They had
had frequent quarrels, and the hus-
band had been arrested several times,
the police say. The wife would never
appear against him, however.
Carrier left note in which he said
that the wife had brought the paris
green to give to him, but he had
watched her too closely. He said that
he gave her a hard death, but that it
was too good for her. and he regretted
that he could not have given her a
harder one. He accused his wife of
unfaithfulness. He said he had $3.50
insurance in the Painters Union,
which money would bury them all.

In few years, If all goes we'll, vlsl-

of the difficulty in securing transpor-

Electrical Engineer publishes a short
table Of electric lines which have beea
authorized and which are now build

miles. In addition to these there are
"new projects and extensions Of rail-
ways already authorized" amounting
to an additional 100 miles. The great
defect appears to be that the severa!
lines have been laid out without re-
gard to each other, or the demands Of
traffic. There are no term common
terminii, which would make it very
inconvenient to get from one line tc
another, or from one portion Of the

HER SWEETHEART WAS A LEPER.
Hawaiian Girl Refused to Desert Him
and They Died Together.

and They Died Together.
Honolulu, Hawaii.-Another tragedy
of leprosy has been uncovered by the
discovery of two skeletons in an aban-
doned stone quarry near this city.
They are the bones Of two young ma
tives who disappeared several months
ago.
Keewamahl was bright Kanaka
who was engaged to be married to a
native girl. Just before the wedding
he was found to be a leper and was
ordered to Molokai. The girl pleaded
to be permitted to go with him, but
in vain. He tried to commit sui
eide, and while in q hospital recover
ing from his wound escaped. She dis-
appeared about the same time. 1t Is
supposed that In their despair they. de-
cided on suicide and killed themselves
in this deserted quarry.
