The barge Sterling. whose crew accom-

Baltimore. Jan 2.-R. Lancaster Will

appointed receivers OF the Seaboard Air
Line railroad at Richmond today are
bankers OF this city, Mr.. Williams being
a member OF the banking house of Mid
dendorf, williams & Co., and Mr.. War
nold, president OF the Continental Trust
company.
Mr. wariield. who Is director of the
Seaboard, was chosen TO represent the
majority interests i'm the property. while
Mr. Williams will look out after the af-
fairs OF a considerable minority, led by
his brother, John SHELTON Williams, OF
Richmond
The receivership will have far-reach-

Another large depositor in the Unio~
Trust company said 1T seems to n
that certain persons want to direct III,
affairs of the bank without putting up
the necessary money. They ara anxious
to keep 1t out of the hands OF possible
competitors I'm this lucrative banking
field without involving any financial risk
TO themselves. II would be possible under
the proposed plan OF reorganization TO
elect committee OF officers i'm other
banks who would not have a cent of In
terest in the stock or deposits OF the
Union Trust company. which would not
be right. from my viewpoint
CONFIDENCE NEEDED.
AT the same time, believe there
should be fresh and competent manage
ment IL the bank is TO be reopened for
business I'm this city and state In order to
merit and receive public confidence.
MY understanding is that the proposed
new plan OF reorganizing the bank will
be offered by large stockholders who
will say substantially this: We are willing
to put In s100.0 900 or 1000 with any other
responsible gentlemen who want the
bank to continue In business, and will
permit us to have say as to who are
to direct the banks affairs, but we are
not willing TO put In our money and then
let men control who may be opposed 60
us personally, financially. socially or po-
litically, and who may not have dollar
OF actual interest in the bank.
IF these men who are so anxious TO d.
rect the reorganized bank will then come
up with the money necessary. TO carry on
it's AFFAIRS, all will be well. IL they are
not willing 10 do so. they will simply be
eliminated from consideration.
ANOTHER OBJECTION.

Yesterday wall street was visited by n

There is 10 be no reduction in the

Don't Like and Will Oppose the Re-
ceivers' Idea of Reorganizing the
InstitutiOn-Think it is Too Favor
able to Present Stockholders-Wi
Propose Another Plan, 'Tis Said.

The receivers plan OF reorganizing the
Union Trust company will be vigorously
opposed.
II it is not approved by the superior
court and further delay is granted. there
seems very reasonable probability that
another plan, which will. II is said. fully
protect those who are asked TO put in new
capital. will be proposed.
Some persons representing large and in
fiuential depositors in the closed insti-
tuition are not taking kindly 10 the re-
ceivers plan of reopening the bank.
chiefly on the ground that III does not af-
ford sufficient guarantee TO those who
may put fresh energy and capital in the
institution.
gentleman who represents deposits
aggregating hundreds OF thousands OF dol
lars. said today. THE proposed plan In
nothing more nor less than an invitation
to the banks creditors to furnish suffi-
cient capital to carry on its business so
that by an dby the stock. which Is worth
little II anything now will be worth some
thing to those who hold Il. and they will
SKIM the very cream OF whatever profits
are made
II do not know whether there is any
thing in the idea that has been expressed
that IL new financial blood is put into
the Union Trust companys veins. and
the bank is ultimately forced to liahdate
the present stock will become an added
charge against the new stockholders. /
do not think th6t objection can hold. but
have not looked into II.
A NEW PLAN.
II am willing to say this, however: II
the proposed plan OF reorganization is not
appr oved by the courts. as believe II will
not be. since IL is going to be extremely
difficult IL not impossible. TO gain the
assent of a sufficient number OF stocfhold-
ers. a plan will be proposed that will be
more equitable and satisfactory TO some
OF those who would recapitalibe the In
stitution. Men who will offer this plan
will be prepared to do their share toward
furnishing the cash so necessary to carry
on the bank. but they propose TO be bet
ter protected than they could be under the
plan now under consideration"
