RETAINS THE OLD RECEIVERS
Judge Wheeler Denies Petition of
Creditors of the Oh1cer e.
Pusey Bank.

At the conclusion Of the hearing yester-
day afternoon on the application for the re-
novel of John Beresheim and Louis F.
Murphy as receivers Of the Ohicer & Pussy
bank. Judge Wheeler denied the petition.
In giving his decision Judge Wheeler said
there was nothing to show that the estate
of the bank was not being managed to the
best advantage and he did not believe the
affairs OF the bank could be any more ex-
peditiously or advantageously closed by a
new receiver; that a change at this time
would require time for a new receiver to
become acquainted with the details Of the
estate and that in his opinion the manage
fnent would be just as expensive. Judge
Wheeler also said that while he would like
to comply with a majority Of the banks
creditors, to remove the receivers at this
time would be to cast a slur on their man
agement. which the court felt was not in
my way deserved.

Man with Nerve,

New York World; Senator Burrows sat
In his committee room when a man he
knew slightly came in and asked for the
loan of 81. He had a good story and the
senator was inclined to give him the
money. He found, though, that the small
est money he had was a 81 bill.
You take this down to the restaurant,
buy a 15-cent cigar. take 81 yourself and
bring me the change" said the senator.
In q few minutes the man came back,
smoking a cigar, and handed the senator
IS cents.
Ibid you mean I was to have the cigar,
too?" he asked the Senator.
The senator was equal to the emery
ency.
Certainly" he said; but now that 1
come to think of 1t I am sorry that I put
a lucent limit on the cigar. A man with
your nerve should never smoke cigars tina
cost less than three for 81. Get OUT"

the portion OF the Huntington lot which

longed to the park and not to the Hunt

der consideration, but It is not expected
that II will accept this sum. II had asked
$3.50 from the Park board. The lot stands
