MAY FORCE REVISION
OF CALL LOAN SYSTEM

CINCINNATI, July "a test of
the call loan system used by all banks
in the United States in their dealings
with brokers will be made by a suit
which, it is anticipated, will be filed
by Referee Greeve in the bankruptcy
case Of Holman & Co., brokers', Of
this city, who recently failed. The
First National bank has a quantity Of
good securities on which a loan was
made to the Holzmans. The bank has
announced that it will disregard. the
order and will dispose Of the security
in accordance with the call loan
agreement. The threatened proceed
ings amount to a test Of the system
by which loans are made by banks on
collateral and If Greeve wins his con-
tcntion, which is in effect that banks
having such loans are not preferred
creditors, the entire system OF collat-
eral loans must be revised. The First
National will carry the case to the
highest court in the event that the
initial decision is unfavorable to the
contention that only that amount
which the securities may bring in
excess of the amount claimed by the
bank is to be devoted to the payment
of other debts Of the bankrupt COM
