Mr.. OVENS STATEMENT.
CONCERNING DIME SAVINGS
BANK TROUBLE.
Claims The Bank Perfectly Safe And Able
To Meet All Of Its Obligations
Some Facts He Must
Not Speak Of.

Trouble has arisen between the re-
Gently organized Dime Savings Bank ard
Mr.. Jackson Brandt, OF Baltimore, who
was prominent in its organic alton. Mr..
James w. Owens. the attorney of the
bank, made the following statement in
regard to the matter
"Sundry notes were issued to Mr..
Brandt by the Dime Savings Bank for
certain services, to be settled in stock of
the bank, but the bank at that time had
not retained counsel and did not specify
how they were to be paid. Brandt, after
the services, through his attorney, Mr..
Francis P. Stevens. demanded the stock,
but did not produce all the notes.
"Stock was issued for the notes pre-
sented under an agreement that the out
standing notes should be returned by
substitution of the stock issued and re-
turned to the bank In the meantime
the bank had been garnished for any,
thing in its hands due Brandt. 1t was
informed that one of these notes had
been given as collateral for loan of $50
and another for $50. Therefore. under
advice of its attorney, James w Ovens,
it refused to pay two notes which were
PAeS~hkNAs ohA tASh nANIAAioG0 a GdullOu
ag ainst further negotiation"
Mr.. Owens says that there are circum-
stances surrounding the negotiations of
which he cannot speak now; that the
bank is able to meet all obligations, but
out of an abundance OF caution he has
advertised against the payment of these
notes until their ownership in fact and in
amount is fully established. The presi-
dent, Mr.. Robert ii. Parker, and the
secretary and treasurer, Mr.. F. H. Wal
ton, supported MIR. Owens on these points.
There seems TO be some confusion in
the minds OF the people relative to the
Dime Savings Bank of Anne Arundel
county, and the Annapolis Savings Insti-
tuition. The former is the one in trouble
and is newly-organized concern, the
head OF which corporation are strangers
here. The Annapolis Savings Institution
is bank OF twenty five years standing
tried and proven trustworthy, and whose
directors are all residents of Annapolis.
and whose cashier, Mr.. Eugene Worth
ington, is man above reproach. The
Annapolis Savings Institution and the
Dime Savings Bank are two separate
and distinct banks, and should not be
confused by the people of Annapolis
or elsewhere.
