TWO SAVINGS
BANKS UNITE
GERMAN-AMERICAN AND UNION
BANK OF SAVINGS
Representing Combined Assets OF
$4,000, 900 and Total Deposits OF
$500, o,ooo-WiIl Seek Fine
Quarters on Corner

In confirming the story of the con-
solidation Of the German-American
Savings bank and the Union Bank of
Savings, w. E. McVey, cashier of the
Union bank, stated to a Herald re-
porter last evening that an agreement
had been reached between the direc-
tors and officers of both institutions
for the merger, that the union of In
tereSts had been under consideration
for ten days, and that all that re-
mained now to be done was the OBJ
servance of the legal requirements.
"Yes," Mr.. McVey added, 1--WE will
establish the consolidated banks In
some suitable corner room on South
Spring street, but we do not know just
where we will go. Good corners are
plentiful, but they are difficult to Sc
cure"
Plans for Future
The merged banks will be known as
| the German-American Savings bank,
| and it is stated that all of the officers
of both banks will be identified Off
cially with the new institution.
Until larger quarters are secured the
merged banks will transact business
at 223 South Spring street, the home
of the Union Bank of Savings, and the
former place of the German-American
on the northeast corner of First and
Main streets will be conducted as
branch bank.
The union of these two savings
banks is one of the most important
financial mergers in the history of Los
Angeles, and will represent total de-
posits of about $500, 900, with total as
sets of $9,0OO,0O0. The capital stock Of
the German-American is 100000, sur
plus and profits over 100000 Divi-
dends paid last year were "a per cent.
1t is planned to increase the capital
stock to 100000 and pay per cent
dividends.
History of Two Banks
The German American bank was es-
taDnshed in 1890 by M. N. Avery, and
! is known as one of the two Los An
geles banks that did not close it's doors
during the financial stringency of 1894
In the management of the bank Dr.
Avery has been aided by Gail B. John
son, vice-president The stock of the
bank now is quoted at 425.
The Union Bank of Savings was es-
tablishcd in 1898 with assets of 100000
and with W. S. Bartlett as president

W. T. REED SHOWS UNUSUAL
PERSEVERANCE
Court Wearles Of the Case, as Does
Plaintiff, and Decree Is Denied.
Marital Trouble Of Long
Standing

The fifth attempt Of w. T. Reed OF
Los Angeles to secure an interlocutory
decree of divorce from his wife, Sarah
A. Reed, resulted in failure yesterday
In Judge Conreys department Of the
superior court, and Reed with sigh
left the courtroom and returned to his
home, which he alleged was not the
proper place for him to be.
The couple were married in the east
I'm 1873. Some years later they moved
to Los Angeles, and then the trouble
began. Whether II was the change In
climate or change in disposition for
the worse Reed was unable to explain
yesterday but his troubles were many
after his arrival in sunnyland.
First his wife became belligerent, he
says, and he left. She secured decree
of divorce from him on the ground of
desertion and went back to her home
III the east
But his trouble had Just begun, and
the next year his wife returned to Cal
ifornia and Reed promptly married her
again.
Then Reed brought divorce proceed
ings and his plea was denied. Accord

NEW MOVE BY RAILROADS
California Lines Have Cut OFF Per-
sonalIy Conducted Tourist
Excursions
Rv Assnciated Press.

CHICAGO. Nov. 1.-THE Tribune to-
day says: The California lines have by
an order issued yesterday put stop
to the personally conducted tourist ex-
cursions, which have been f1ourlshing
in that field for years. Not only will
a large number of railroad conductors,
probably 1885, whose salaries average
500 a month each, lose their positions,
but at least one tourist excursion
bureau, which makes a speciality of
personally conducted tours to Cali
fornia, will be driven out of the bust
ness. During the day the connections
of the Santa Fe, Southern Pacific and
San Pedro lines were notified that here
after these roads will not accept tour
list cars containing personally con-
Quoted parties even if the personal con-
ductor is not on the train during the
haul over these lines.
The reason given for taking this
action is that travel to the Pacific
coast has become so common that trav-
elers generally are familiar with the
route. They say that the railroad Off
cials themselves can care for the pas
sengers Just as well as the personal
conductor. There is not to be any in
reference with the high class excursion
which, though personally conducted
travels in first class Pullman sleeper
the restriction being laid upon the
tourist cars only.
