EPPINCER CR AIN
FOR THE BANKS
Trial of Suit to Determine
Manner of Apportionment
Begins Before Murasky
WAREHOUSE CONFUSION
Diagrams and Evidence Of
fered to Show Impossible
ity of Identifying Lots

The little pile of grain-3500 tons-in
the warehouse at Crockett, which was
all that the banks had to show for their
warehouse receipts for $1,000 tons of
wheat and barley given as security by
the Eppingers for loans of more than
a half million dollars, is now at issue
in Judge Murasky's court. True, the
grain has been sold, under an order of
court. and the 100000 received for it
remains to- be distributed among the
creditors, but there is disagreement as
to the manner of it's apportionment.
The outcome of the present suit is
expected to determine whether it shall
be prorated among the banks in pro-
portion to their claims, or given to
Henry Wadsworth, the Eppingers
trustee in bankruptcy, for the benefit of
all the creditors of the firm, or given to
the banks according to the specific lots
on hand which were described in the
warehouse receipts. Fer instance,
Wells-Fargo's bank claimed 1000 tons
OF the $500 tons that remained, and
specified certain lots in the warehouse.
This would leave little for the dozen
other local and rural banks which
loaned their funds SO lavishly, and it
is contended that it is impossible to
identify the separate lots of grain de-
were moved from warehouse to ware
house, from gangway to gangway, and
new numbers were substituted for old
ones until all were commingled and
confused
The suit is that of the Nevada Ma
tional Bank against the other banks,
Eppinger & Co, the Pacific Warehouse
Company and Henry Wadsworth, the
trustee. A dozen leading members of
the bar are participating and the case
for the plaintiff was presented by At
torney Frank HI. Powers. The Nevada
Banks claim was for $49,500. 1t sued
for determination of the respective
rights.
The general sidesof the case was put
forth yesterday-the fact that there
was a warehouse and that it contained
separate lots of grain variously desig-
mated. This was explained with the
maps and diagrams used in the GRIM
! inal trial of the Eppingers, and the evil
dence of George w. Russell, who pre-
pared them. Frank S. Mitchell, book
keeper for the Eppingers, under in
structions of the court, had prepared a
list of the various lots and their mark
ings and his testimony thereupon was
taken.
The trial of the case may last for
three weeks and will be resumed to-
day.

Judgment for $500 against Horace P.
Smith as his rightful share in the
profits of trading with natives in the
far. north on a whaling cruise six years

THE INSURANCE PROBE.


1t is said that Attorney General May
er, Of New York, has ordered John A.
Mccall, president of the New York Life
company, to restore the money contrib
uted to the campaign funds to the COM
pany's treasury. If he does not, suit
will be entered against him to compel
restitution.
An Official or the Equitable Life AS.
surance society says his company
pooled with the New York Life and
the Mutual to pay Judge Hamilton
and others for influencing legislation.
A New York minister announces that
he will head league to force John A.
Mccall and George w. Perkins to re-
sign and compel restitution of insur-
ance company trust funds.
Insurance Commissioner Davis, of
Nevada revoked the license Of the New
York Life company in that state be-
cause of alleged corrupt management.
James H. Hyde notified the New York
insurance investigators that he will not
appear voluntarily as witness, and at
lacked the legality OF the inquiry.
President Mccall declares the New
York Life has spent $1.1O3120 in five
years fighting Matchmaking bills in
legislatures. He said the big compa-
nies are bounded in every state in the
union.
