FAIL TO NAME MR.. BUDD
Consolidated Exchange Nominating
Committeeman IGNORE Petition.

Notwithstanding the fact that two hundred floor
members OF the Consolidated Stock Exchange
signed petition requesting that Ogden d. Budd
be named TO succeed himself as president of the
institution at the annual election on May IL the
nominating committee yesterday ignored the re-
quest and nominated c. H. Badeau for the office
Mr. Badeau was chairman of the committee that
had charge of the construction of the new building
at Broad and Beaver streets, now the home of
the exchange
Mr.. Budd has been president for two years. and
MS friends say has been instrumental in building
up the exchange and making IL more widely
known. They say also that much of the credit for
securing the new building due to his efforts.
Mr.. Budd is known inVeterate foe of the
bucketsheps, and took active part in formuIat-
ing the present stringent rules preventing these
concerns from obtaining any connection with the
exchange. 1t was said in we'll informed quarters
that he would run for president on an Independent
ticket 10 be named in few days
No reason was offered for the failure of the
nominating committee to renominate Mr. Budd but
1t was reported that 1t was due TO personal feel
ing against him by of the members of the
committee.
The nominations announced yesterday follow
For president. c. H. Badeau; first vice-president
5. A. Luther; second vice-president, E. E. Belts;
chairman. Valentine Mott; treasurer, E r Grant:
board Of governors l. N. Archer II. r. Cara
wax. S H. Clarke. A. S. HackIey J. Frank Howell
r. NJ. Jarvis r. E Leavitt, T. H. McGrath, A R
Ayres. F. Simmonds and A. c. Sumner
1t is understood that the nomination for the pres
ldehcy was offered first to S. A. Luther. but that
he declined it because he believed Mr.. Budd should
be renomnated

Judge Hough, in the United States Circuit Court
after hearing arguments Yesterday the demur-
rers TO the indictments charging oveDcertffcation
snd conspiracy To defraud against Charles ".
Morse and Alfred H. Curtis former president and
vice president respectively, of the National Bank
of North America, gave their counsel until Mon
6av 70 submit briefs
Morse was represented by Wallace MacfarIane,
former United States District Attorney and Mr..
Curtis ~ eX-Judge William II. X. Olcott District
Attorney Stnlson and his assistant, Mr.. O'Brien,
opposed
Nr. Msrfarlane's objections based upon
what he termed the improper legal wording OF the
allegations set forth in the indictments He laid
particular emphasis the fact that the indict-
rnents failed q show that the hank suffered by
reason Of the alleged overcertihcation He argued
that the indictments contained no legal charge of
q misapplicatiOn OF the banks funds. An over
draft was not crime, said he. unless intent 10
defrsud was shown. He urged that the purchasing
OF stock with the bank money was not criminal,
but only subject certain penalties, SUCH for
fe'tllre Df charter.
Mr. Stnson defended the wording Of the indlct-
nae1;s and insisted that they showed the commits
Of criminal acts.
3Ir. Morse and Mr. Curtis listened with interest
the arguments.
