corporators were acting in violation of the charter provision. He did not know until January of this year that trial balance had never been taken. of the first trial balance he said he at first thought MT. Cleaveland must be wrong in his figures. MT. Mont gomery said that in the three days the bank has been open $7s,0O0 of deposits have been withdrawn and that the de- deposits are taking out as much as permitted to under the court order.
 Commissioner Noble's Opinion.
 Allen Pease, vice-president and . director of the bank, testified that he with the late Charles H. Noble, bank commissioner in Hartford, in which MT. Noble said, You have a fine bank, in f1rst-class condition and you ought to be proud of It."
 VIII Have To Be Shown.
 James D. Outerson, president of the Windsor Locks Business Mems asso- citation, was called to tell of the po- sition of the association in regard to the bank continuing business but ob- jection was made and inquiry on this line dropped. MT. Outerson said he is depositor in the bank. He was asked if he is in favor of the ap- pointment of a receiver. He said If it is shown that the depositors will receive more money by the appoint ment of receiver he is in favor, but if not, he is opposed. He is opposed to-day to the appointment of a re- ceiver so far as 1t has been shown that the depositor will receive no ben eft.
 Closing tho Case.
 Arguments were made. Ralph O. Wells, opening for the plaintiffs sought to show the personal liability of the bank directors, that the charter of the bank has been forfeited, and that a receiver is necessary. MT Wells said that 1t might not be of i'm portance in the case but it was sig nificant that MT. Converse was the moving spirit in the organization o1 the bank in 1871 and that his steal ings began in 1874. Edward M. Day made forceful argument against the forfeiture of charter and appoint ment of receiver. Other attorneys interested in the case are s. N. Dun- ming for the bank commissioners, Au- gustine Lonergan and Clement Scott for certain depositors, and Lewis Sperry for the bank.
 Judge Curtis reserved decision and briefs will be submitted by the at- torneys in few days.

receiving any larger amounts.
 Never Saw Charter Provision.

MT. Cleaveland, called by MT. Day. said that after he became treasurer in December, 1910 he continued the prac- tice for awhile of receiving as much as S1, 900 a year. He said he never saw the charter provision that depos- It's of not more than s4oo should be received from any one depos1tor in any one year. His attention had never been called to the charter provision by the directors.
 Converse Started Bank.
 John R. Montgomery, one of the
 directors of the bank since 1872, said he had known the late MT. Converse .. for about forty-one years. He said MT. Converse was the moving spirit in the establishment of the Windsor Locks Savings Bank. People in the Village used to ask MT. Converse to take their money to Hartford to de- tice increased until 1t became a bur. den to MT. Converse and he broe ched the idea of a savings bank in Wind sor Locks. The business men there approved and the bank was organized in July, 1871. The incorporators were the bank have been John D. Windsor;
 Jabez H. Hayden. William Mather and George c. Glover. MT. Converse was | the first secretary and treasurer anc kept the books until December, l9lO MT. Montgomery said that J. War ren Johnson is the only original direc- tor now on the board. Only three o1
 the board of 1879 are now serving and the board personnel has been varying constantly in the past forty years. The incorpora tors passed vote In April, 1902, authorizing the bank. be- ginning in October. 1902. to receive de posits up to s1,000 from any deposi- tor within one year. If Treasurer Converse had received more it was contrary to any instructions from the directors, said MT. Montgomery. He
 said the banks investments are first class.
 Auditors Bell and Porter are con. sidered reputable. competent auditors witness said The directors had re. lied on the reports of the bank ex- aminers and the auditors for knowl- edge of the banks condition. It was impossible for the directors to ge throueh the bookkeeping of the bank
 Mir. Montgomery said the directors
 had never authorized any illegal act
 The bank is at present running and paving deposits under instructions o1
 the court. There is plenty of money
 to meet any demands. Witness said
 in his opinion if the proceedings in
 co,1rt ouieted down the bank would
 continue successfully. Some people
 are drawing out their deposits now, as
 they fear a receivership will tie uE

Lamb And Mutton
 At Record Prices
Sharp Advance Brings Them up to a Point Which Only a
 Fat Purse Can Meet

Chicago, May s-Lamb chops and choice mutton promise soon to 70 in- to a luxury class. prohibitive except for those with fat purses Prices for the raw material now equal the rec ord mark of two years ago. and there IS small hope of q material recession for some time to come.
 Observers of the meat business cfer the prophecy that this month will see the greatest scarcity Of both mutton and beef ever known in Chicago trade circles. Unshorn lambs brought 31o 50 and shorn lambs $s75 a hundred weight yesterday. Mutton buyers actually backed away from the asked prices and there was a drop in prices. but dealers were of the opinion that the relief was only temporary. The best woolled lambs brought S1o.40. but they were not so choice as those which sold twenty cents higher on wednes- day.
 Those who cannot afford beef and mutton may possibly be able to shift to pork. The supply of hogs for the well maintained on account of ths high values of the other meat ani- nlals.
 Retailers say that the advance in the quotations of dressed meats which have been in progress for 6 month | 8s Beef Is costing 13 to A cents a pound in the carcass, and that means that he who eats 1t must see that the wholesaler and the retailer get their usual profit. Choice steers are worth s9 a hundred at the stock yards. That means that the packer will demand his new bit in the genera, 1istribu- tiOn
 Grocers regard the outlook in gloom. Nothing has escaped the grasp of the wholesalers and producers, they sey. The price of everything continues to go up. Even canned goods must be sold at higher prices. they declared.
 We will soon have to quit business if prices don't go down." said one west side butcher. Retail prices on meats are enormously high, but the profits do not go to the butcher. Tre gets less profit than he used to ge. when prices were lower, and the high prices are driving away all his trade"
