THE APPOINTMENT OF A RECEIVER

On Tuesday, March 20, Judge Brcen called a meeting of depostors to
assist by suggestion in the matter of the appointment of a suitable per-
son for Receiver of the Eureka County Bank. Some SEQ. 600 or $50. 600
of deposits were represented at the meeting. Judge Brecn. explained
the few who could be found locally who are familiar with banking.
Judge Breen also set forth that under the sworn statement of the Bank
Examiner, the few who were available might be Ineligible because Of
their neglect to make known the insolvency of the bank, though having
full knowledge of such insolvency for months and months: that to ap-
point a man who had such knowledge, and neglected what would seem to
be his duty, for so long a time, and thus lead to loss by dcpostors. big
and little, of large sums of money, would be by him and his Court an en-
dorcment of illegal methods, an edorsemcnt Of a violation of the law.
and that he would resign his office before such Il charge could be laid at
the door of his Court
Judge Brcen's position was unanimously approved, and il was agreed
that he should wire the SchccInc Banking and Trust Company, of Reno.
Nevada as to whether 1t would accept the appointment or not.
Weekly independent. [volume] (Elko, Nev.) 1887-1914, 1910-04-08

Our statutes provide that the
Court shall appoint a suitable per
son receiver, and the sound discrc-
ton of the Court should be- called
into play in determining who is a
suitable person.
Judge Brccn wired the offer of
the Reccivcrship to the Henderson
Banking Company last Friday and.
after considering the matter thor
oughIy, John Henderson. president
Of the bank, declined the appoint

day afternoon to that effect.

aminer be true. and | believe it is.
That the law has been violated
during all that time, since last Sum-
mer, there a be nc question If the
Bank Examiner has stated the truth.
and it i'll becomes you, as Assist
ant Attorney General of Nevada, to
stand up here as an apologist for its
violation-you whose duty it is TO
uphold the law. and whose duty it
may yet become to take action in a
different direction.
If the statements of the Bank
Examiner be untrue, those who now
stand accused by such sworn state
ments of neglect of duty were
guilty of no such neglect, ample
opportunity will be given by this
Court for their exculpation.
1t is but poor c~onsoltion to those
who have lost their money-ycs, in
some instances, money deposited
but two days before the bank
closed, to say to those whose duty
it was to give them warning had
failed to do so-but with the best
intentions.
Here Court adjourned until Tues
| day at 10 a. m.

ADDITIONAL STATEMENT OF
DEPUTY ATTORNEY GENERAL

In an interview with a represent
ativc Of this paper on Thursday,
Deputy Attorney General Fowler
said:
thine will vindicatc the position
Of the State Banking Board. and
this will be when the dcpositors be-
come enlightened Of the fact that
the bank is in much bcttcr,condi-
ton today than it was when its cm-
barrasmcnt first became known.
"Thc dcpositors will receive a
larger percentage on the dollar. than
they would have received had the
bank been closed a few months ago.
The Banking Board has consid-
cred first the interest of the dcposi-
tors, and it has not permitted tech
nlcaIititics to work to thc.injury Of
those persons who are the most CON
ccrncd. In this attitude of protcc-
ton to ]dcpositors the members Of
the Banking Board shouldlrcccivc
the thanks and gratitude Of the
people.

DON'T WANT %REGEWERSRIP

The R~cccivcrship was offered 10
Mr.. SchecIine and he started for
Eureka to look over the situation.
He came to Elko last Thursday and
being unable to reach Eureka from
here, he wired Judge Brcen that he
could not accept the appointment
and returned to Reno.
Upon ascertaining that the Schcc-
line Banking and Trust Company
declined the appointment, another
meeting of dcpositors was at once
called in chambers on Friday, April
l.. The large room was crowded,
and in the of ncighborhood 500, 600
was represented.
The situation having been cx-
planned to the dcpositors, Il motion
was unanimously adopted that
Judge Brccn communicate with
Henderson Banking Company Of
Elko on the all important subject.
The question came up as to
whether the Court could legally
appoint an official of the insolvcnt
corporation as receiver, The Judge
said it was very doubtful. and quot
ed authorities, which held that a
person interested in the trust. or
one who had been engaged in tran
sactions either unlawful or in breach
of trust was disqualified to hold a
Rcccivcrship, and said:
THAT if the Bank Examiners
sworn statement be true, which of
the officers of the Eureka County
Bank is il who has not been en-
gagged in unlawful transactions
say, in receiving the money of de-
positors for months, when it was
known the bank was insolvcnt and
could not reimburse dcpositors?
And which of the officers is it that
does come within the aforcgoing
inhibitions?

Mr.. Attorney General, you are
testifying to facts which have moth
ing TO do with this hearing and,
worse still, you are testifying with

examiner has testified here that the
insolvency of the Eureka County
Bank was known to him since last
summer, and that he reported its
insolvency to the State Board; that,
again, upon his examination into the
condition of the bank on the 10th or
Goth of last month, and finding 1t
still insolvcnt, he again reported the
result of his investigation to the
State Board. Yet, during all of
this time, no action was taken by
the board any more than by the
bank or its officers, from president
to cashier, to notify depositors and
others doing business with this de-
funct institution, to warn them of
its deplorable financial condition
and save the people from ~depositing
their money where it was sure to be
lost-to save them from being
further plundered-if the testimony

in regard TO the State Board and

public of its insolvency, and spoke
substantially as follows:

tai of any corporation transacting q
banking business under this Act is
impaired, Or that such corporation
is conducting its business in an un.
safe or unauthorized manner, or is
endangering the interests of its de-
positors, or upon the failure of
suchcorporation to make any of
the reports or statements re-
quired by the provisions of this
Act or to comply with the
provisions of this Act in all re-
spects, the State Banking Board
shall communicate the facts to the
Attorney General. who shall there
upon cause an application to be
made to the District Court of the
county where such corporation
maintains its bank and is conduct
ing its business, or to any Judge of
said Court, for the appointment of a
suitable person as a receiver to
take charge of the business, assets
and property Of every kind of said
corporation and to wind up,its af-
fairs; provided, however, that if
the Judge or Judges of the District
Court of the county where such APP
~plication should be made be absent
therefrOm at the time such applica-
ton is to be made, any Judge of
the Supreme Court may appoint
such receiver, but all proceedings
in relation to such receivership
thereafter shall be had before the
District Court, or a Judge Thereof,
which might have appointed such
receiver in the first instance, and
the petition and the order appoint
ng such receiver shall be forthwith
transmitted to the Clerk of such
Distrit Court. 1t shall be sufficient
to authorize the appointment of a
receiver if any Of the facts herein
enumerated as a ground for the APP
%plication for a receiver be made to
appear. Nothing in this Act shall
affect any proceeding now pending
in settling up the affairs Of any
bank now in custody of the present

Now, then, how is it that with
the report of the bank examiner be-
fore them the members of the State
Board failed for so long a time in
their duty and thus facilitated the
%plundeing of the public by this so
called bank. The penal provisions

wish to condone or mitigate any
wrong. One thing is certain. and
that is hat at every turn of the
roadway Mr.. Van Fleet has per-
formed his duty, but it may appear
that the State Banking Board de-
layed too long before taking action,
but in waiting and negotiating it
expected to accomplish benefits to
the depositOrs. If the members of
this Board worshippcd the goddess
of Hope, it vas in the firm belief
that something valuable would be
obtained that would prevent sorrow

Mr.. German at all times was
willing to cooperate with the State
Banking Board in its efforts to pre-
vent loss to the depositors. and

Mr.. Fowler in an interview given

"The all important thing at the

easy to look back and sec what

may be chosen he will need the
friendship of Mr.. German and Mr..

dwindlc from lack of knowledge of
them. Without the assistance of
these men thousands Of dollars will
be lost to the dcpositors.

the year starting favorable. The
new directors contemplate a few
needed improvements, but taken as a
whole the affairs of the Club were
found to be in the best of order.
The Sagebrush Club has been the
star organization of this city. Be.
fore the formation of the organiza-
tion it was practically impossible for
resilient to find harbor of com.
Tor on the stormy nights, and it was
also an impossibility to talk over
business matters with a stranger,
outside of hotel lobby.
by the formation and successful
carrying out of this club hundreds OF
visitors have had the privileges OF
the rooms, the daily papers, card ta
bles and billiard tables. They have
left this city with a good name for
the place and particularly tle organ
ization that welcomes the strange.
and gives them a chance to become
acquainted with Carson people and
their ways.
