Italy at Clay and MONTGOMERY streets
was formally opened for business yes
terday. Congratulations on the event
were showered in from all sections of

banked with a mass of flowers and
floral designs sent in by patrons and
friends.
Good wishes and flowers came from
rich and poor. high and low alike.

by handful of roses. Rubbing the
elbows of the big businessmen who
went to offer congratulations would be
the man with a hard earned savings

elevator. The picture holdings are
copper and the window sills are bronze
The staircases are of metal. and even
the elevator bell buttons are encased
in solid bronze.
The most distinctive feature Of the
building, however, is the beauty of it's
interior. Its compact massiveness, has
been tempered by a thousand and one
deft touches. The freseo work of the
bank ceiling is exceptionally handsome.
Opposite the entrance is striking

AGEN'SCRED|TORS
OPPOSE TRUSTEES
Attorneys Vigorously Fight APP
pointment of ii. L. Smith
of Board of Trade
of Case Today Expected
to Reveal Identity of 'Inter-
ested" Outside Parties

Vigorous objections were made to the
appointment of H. L. Smith of the San
Francisco board of trade as trustee of
the bankrupt store of Kragens at yes
terday's hearing before Milton j. Green.
the referee in bankruptcy. Certain of
the creditors favored the appointment
of Smith. but others of the attorneys
who represented other creditors dis
sented.
While no direct charges were made
against the action of the board of trade
Attorney II. c. Schaertzer objected to
Smiths appointment on the ground that
the San Francisco board of trade might
be interested in the claims of the credi-
tors WHO first brought the attention of
that body to the condition of the
Kragens corporation. Attorney w. d.
Mansfield requested that the board of
trade be permitted to choose the trus-
tee.
Attorney Schaertzer said that while
the board of trade was handling the
Kragens business in the interest of GER
tain creditors it had refused to allow the
attorneys representing other creditors
to have access to the books. He sup
plemented this statement by adding
that this knowledge on his part war
ranted him in fearing that the board of
trade might be especially interested in
certain creditors TO the disadvantage
of other creditors.
Referee Green intimated that it was
possible that there might have been a
conspiracy, but that such charge
could not be made by an attorney un-
less he had positive evidence that a
conspiracy did exist.
Smith and several others who have
been identified with the Kragens case
since the involuntary proceedings were
brought against the store will be called
to testify this morning No trustee
viii be chosen until the testimony has
been taken. 1t is expected that the tes-
timony will prove who and to what ex-
tent outside parties are interesting
themselves in the claims of certain
creditors.
