Part of that is made up of the note Of

March 1, 1904. payable on demand to the
order of John F. Waggaman. the considera-
ton being for money loaned to Thomas E..
Waggaman by John F. Waggaman. An
other part of the principal amount is made
up of the sum of $4,000. lent by John F.
Waggaman to Thomas E. Waggaman for
which T. E. Waggaman agreed to pay
monthly interest at the rate of per cent
per annum, no note being given for the
amount
further sum amounting to $122 925. 66 is

man to John F. Waggaman, according to

estate located in the District of Columbia, !"
and that "Waggaman received the money
for that purpose and represented to John
w. Stealey that the money had been duly
invested in notes secured by first deeds Of
trust or mortgages"

holds for this debt consists of one
payable on or before three years after
date. Said note is signed by L. L. Mich

Decision Regarding Trustees Tomorrow
AT the meeting of Waggaman creditors
and their attorneys to be held tomorrow
morning at 10 o'clock in the grand jury
room at the City Hall the election of a
trustee or trustees will take place
Referee Bradley is not certain, however,
whether after the election the appointment
Of trustees will take place, owing to the
complications likely to arise after the votes
have all been cast.
Referee Bradley will early in the session
tomorrow read his opinion on certain ques-
lions which have arisen in connection with
the Waggaman matter. This will be fol-
lowed by the reading of the list of claims
allowed as well as those diSallowed. Then
will follow the roll call of creditors or the
attorneys who represent them, and then
votes will be recorded first as individuals
and then the amount OF their claims ap-
proved by the referee.
In order to elect trustees there must be
a majority of both the individual votes cast
and the aggregate amount of claims repre-
sented. Should there not be a majority of
both individuals and amounts there will be
no election.
1t is reported this afternoon that some
of the large local trust companies will de-
cline to serve as trustee, and that it may
therefore be necessary to elect three trus-
tees.
