ceived a great number of applications re-
specting the Whitaker estate. the name of
Whitaker being variously spelled. The
original basis Of these inquiries, 1t is stated.
probably is THE occurrence Of the name on
lists of unclaimed stock and dividends pub
lished In the bank In the early part of the
last century. However, the total amount
at present unclaimed on several accounts
with which the name of Whitaker Is con-
neoted, is less than 91O0. Some time ago,
it is stated, a person called at the bank
and said that he had been delegated by the
heirs of the Whitaker estate to investigate
their claims He was told that there was
no such estate in the knowledge of the
bank, but subsequently ii was found that
he gave the heirs" a. different version and
spurred them OF to renewed efforts.
The inquiries almost all date from the
United States, and have been received
since 1897, but never until the present year

weeks time l began TO feel stronger and
