RECEIVERS To PRESS
FOR A SETTLEMENT

Called in Court.
HISTORY OF THE FAILURE
Litigation Instituted by Receivers to

The creditors OF the defunct American
Savings Bank, which did business on q
Street between Twelfth and Thirteenth
Streets, will soon get run. at least In
litigation. for their money. According to
the report of the receivers. Tracy l..
Jeffords. Charles F. Carusi. and Alex
ander Wolf. the available assets Of the
bank consists OF about $1,000 worth Of
promissory notes and one piece of real
estate. Pursuant to an agreement
reached some time ago at a meeting Of
the receivers IT was decided 10 press
the litigation TO a final settlement Of
the affairs of the bank at the present
term of the Supreme Court OF the Dis
trict.
The American Savings Bank. upon the
application of Nicholas 7. Halter. was
placed in charge OF receivers on October
1, 1901. An examination of the BANK
failed to disclose any money on hand.
but showed that the stock subscribed
was. I'm many instances. only paid for
by promissory notes. which remained
unpaid and were held as part OF the as
sets OF the bank.
Accounts 0verdrawn.
They also ascertalned that the ac-
counts Of a large number Of depositors
and of the stockholders was overdrawn
in large amounts. and the am cunt due
deposltors was SAG. 1885. This included
certain outstanding checks OF $50 rs. and
certificates OF depositors aggregatinE
81. O68. and the total overdrafts amounted
to sl0S91.32.
The receivers also ascertained that the
directors of the bank gave notice OF
their intention TO suspend payments OF
September 2s, 1901. and short time
thereafter there were delivered by the
bank TO the Union Surety and Guaranty
Company negotiable notes aggregatins
the sum of sl55O706. The receivers fled
a petition in equity to set aside the
transfer and delivery Of the said notes
TO the Union Surety and Guaranty Com
pany. and asked that payment be made
directly ia them.
Action Against Directors.
In addition TO this proceeding insti-
tuted against the Union Surety and
Guaranty Company the receivers fnsti-
tuted proceedings against all those di-
rcctors OF the bank who had given their
notes In payment for stock and had
never paid the same. and against all
those who had overdrawn their ac-
counts, and other parties who had had
questionable transactions with the bank.
This proceeding is still pending in the
equity court and is expected to be
heard some time during the next term

REGISTRATION CASES
HEARD IN ROCKVILLE
DR.. j. B. HubbelPs Name
Stricken From the Books.
HE HAS NO DEFINITE ABODE
Like Order Made in Case of James H
Morgan on Ground of His Resid-
ing in District.

James b. Henderson heard a number of
cases today wherein the registration Of
icers OF this county were defendants.
The first case was petition to place
the rame of William w. Lynch upon

trict. In this case the officers OF regis
tration refused to register the applicant.

in the army. serving in the Philippines,
The court held that as the petitioner
had acquired a residence before enlist
ing. and having acquired no other resi-
donce while In the army. he was enti-
tied to register, and such an order was
passed.
The second case was that IF DR.. Julian
B. Hubbell. secretary Ia Miss Clara
Barton. Of the Red Cross Association, at
Glen Echo, this county. The petitioner
was refused registration by the regis
tration officers at Bethesda because he
had not acquired residence in this
State. The petitioner is constantly
travelling with Miss Barton and has no
definite abode. The court sustained the
action of the registration officers.
Didn't Know His Birthplace.
Robert Lgckett was refused registra-
ton by these officers, and the court
sustained their action. IN this case
Luckett did not know when he was
born. and the evidence tended 10 show
he was not OF age.
The most important of the cases up
for hearing was that against James H
Morgan. formerly of Bethesda, but now
| OF Washington. The defendant in this
case was placed upon the suspect list.
! but the officers OF registration refused
to erase his name there-rom. Morgan

this county. The sheriff returned the
summons for him marked mon est
Morgan has rented his property at
Bethesda with the privilege of having a
room there any time he desires. 1t was
given in evidence that just before court
begins each year Morgan generally left
the county. remaining in the District

| journed.

This fact and the return of the sheriff
appeared to the court 10 be conclusive

residence in this county. and an order
was made striking his name from the
| list OF registered voters OF Bethesda

In Rockville district the case against
l Andrew A Davis involved the question
OF residence under the law requiring a
man TO resume his abode certain time
prior TO the election. after having made
the required affidavit that he did not
intend to give up his residence in the
State. The summons for the defendant
| -as returned mon est twice This
was the chief evidence which convinced
the court that the defendant had lost
his residence here. and an order was
passed striking his name from the regis
tration books of this district

north and the Kansas river from the
west, which carries the waters from
the Republican, Solomon, Saline and
Smoky rivers, besides several large
creeks, meet at the eastern edge Of
