BROOKLYN BANKERS SHORT
Two Omcials of Savings Concern
Are Charged with Grand
Larceny.

NEW YORK. July 3O.-Two prominent
Brooklynites, Edward Britton, president
until yesterday OF the Eagle Savings and
Loan company of that borough and
Quarantine Commissioner Frederick II.
Schroeder, second vice president until yes
terday Of the same institution. were ar
rested today after having been indicted on
a charge of grand larce4. They were
arraigned before Judge Dixie, who held each
in $4,000 ball. There are four indictments
against each man. Both admit that they
took approximately $4,000 Of the cash OF
the company and used the money to keep
the Homestake South Eextension Mining
company. a South Dakota concern, upon its
feet. This company was organized by Brit
ton and Schroeder about three years ago.
The arrest Of the bankers followed a grand
jury investigation earlier In the day.
The following statement was given out by
the Eagle Savings and Loan company:
A discrepancy was discovered in the cash
amounting to 81, 9S8, for which President h.
+. Britton and Second Vice President e. Il.
Announces Of ssigM and ,T FesPoH Tespeet,velH IN
President Britton has since made restitu-
lion to the amount Of A,061.
AT a meeting of the trustees of the COM
parry held on the 2Sth, the designations Of
Messrs. Britton and Schroeder were ac-
cepted. AS the surplus of the company
after deducting the above amount Is In
excess Of $4,000, the corporation is solvent
and will continue its business.
Bank Examiner Young last week found
that Joseph Wood, secretary and treasurer
of the company, was carrying in the bank
numbers of checks signed by Britton and
Schroeder. These checks were for varying
amounts aggregating $47,sS6. When the
examiner demanded an explanation he was
told by Wood that he had been instructed
by his superior officers to hold the checks
and not to send them for collection to the
banks on which they were drawn. But
meantime, he explained, he had paid out
the company's money on them. Further
probing showed that practically all the
checks in question were worthless. The
two bankers obtained bondsmen late today
