Failure of the Fidelity Funding Com
pany May Not Affect the
Big Catholic School
at Nauvoo.
HALF MILLION DOLLARS
Academy is Said to be a Creditor to
the Sum of Half Million Dol
lars For New Build
ings.

The big school at Nauvoo. st. Mary's
academy, is probably involved in the
failure of the Fidelity Funding Com
pany of New York City, the concern
back of the Nauvoo trolley line which
was promised SO many times and upon
which actual work was really started
and then abandoned. This concern
financed building operations for Cath
olic institutions and furnished the
money to build the big structures at
Nauvoo. 1t also carried life and fire
insurance and had numerous patrons
among the Catholics.
For some time it has been stated at
Nauvoo that the company was in fl
nancial tangles, but it is said there
that the academy would probably not
be forced to close on account of the
failure of the eastern concern A New
York dispatch states that the academy
is a creditor to the amount of half
million dollars, but this is said to be
untrue. The company but. the acad-
envy buildings and St Mary's academy
is not creditor for any such large
sum and that the financial Difficult
ties of the company will not SER
iously affect the academy
The following dispatch from New
York tells of the tangled condition of
the company

In Hane.s of Receiver.

NEW YORK, Dec. THAT the af-
fairs of the Fidelity Funding company,
which was organized under the laws
operations of Catholic churches and all
lied institutions, and which went into
the hands of receiver few weeks
ago are in an exceedingly tangled con-
dition, is asserted by Receiver Thomas
+. Gilroy Jr., in a statement made by
him today According to Receiver Gill
roy, the companys liabilities will ag-
gregate not less than 81 500, 900, with
practically no assets. Its creditors in.
clude at least fifty churches, seminar
les. colleges and many priests and
nuns. These are located all over the
country from New England states 10
Oregon. Chief among the companys
creditors is St Mary's academy of
Nauvoo H.. which is involved for at
least 100000
AS explained by the receiver, most
of the Fidelity Funding company loans
were to run for twenty years. In addi-
ton to these loans the company also
of priests and nuns. A rate of inter-
est ranging from to 8 per cent was
charged for both loan and insurance.
The Fidelity Funding company, it
seems, also sold its bonds to represen
tatives of the Catholic churches. These
are secured, according to the receiver,
by mortgages on the property, but

In addition to the Fidelity Funding
company, p ]. Herman. former pres
ident of the company, also conducted
a number of subsidiary companies.
These were the Columbia Construction
