BRICE MAKES A DENIAL.
Says Receipts From Gate at Mount
Vernon Fails to Meet Expenses.

As has been expected, emphatic de-
NAL that the Mount Vernon Ladies
Association, which controls the home
Of George Washington, receives any
compensation from any transportation
company was made by Arthur I.
Brice, treasurer of the association,
yesterday.
1t was charged in the resolution of
Representative Cary, of Wisconsin,
which asks for an Investigation of the
management of Mount Vernon, that
the Marshall Hall Steamboat Company
has for years paid the association ID
cents out of the round trip ticket
charge of Is cents for transportation
and admission in the grounds, in addi-
ton to the 25 cents paid for the adj
mission ticket. 1t is charged shat the
association thus receives 40 cents for
every admission of passenger on one
of the boats.
Mr. Rrice say that he has charge of
the receipt and disbursement of all
funds of the association, and that the
"rebate" charge is abolutely without
foundation. Visitors to the grounds
pay only 25 cents as far as the asso-
citation is concerned, he says, and they
may 60 to Mount Vernon in whatever
manner they choose. If they chose to
pay the price of admission to the
Steamboat company they may do so,
and he collects 25 cents and no more
for each ticket bought from the trans
portation company.
He says. further, that Mount Vernon
is so close to Washington that there
can be no monopoly or transportation
as charged in the resolution.
Mr.. Brice calls attention to the fact
that the Ladies' Association has a
charter from the State Of Virginia
for the property, and it is known 70
be valid. There is no chance in the
world to vacate that charter.
Mr.. Brice said that only Superin-
tendent H. H. Dodge and other en-
ployes actually on the place received
salaries for their work. The women
of the association and he himself as
treasurer work he declared, without
salaries or compensation of any sort
The expenses of maintenance, he
says, are more than the receipts from
sight-seers, and to meet this outlay
the association has an endowment
fund, raised mainly by subscription
Funds of the association which are
not Immediately put back into i'm
provements and upkeep are invested
in loans, stocks and bonds.
The grand council of the Mount Yer
non Ladies' Association is scheduled to
meet May at Mount Vernon. Miss
Harriet C. Comegys, of Dover, Del.

Argument Started in Suit of
Receiver Against Direc-
tors of Trust. CO.
100000 is INVOLVED.
Huge Sum Claimed to Have Been Lost
on Account of Negligence Of OFF,
cials-Statute of Limitation Plead.

In am effort to hold the directors Of
the defunct Virginia Safe Deposit and
Trust Corporation responsible for
about 100000 loss which was incur
red by tbs deposNors and stockhold-
ers of the company which closed its
doors Two years ago last December,
the suit Of Howard W. Smith, receiv-
err Of the bank was commenced in the
Corporation Court this morning by
the hearing Of the demurrers Of the
directors to Mr.. Smiths bill of COM
plant.
There are twelve directors named in
Mr.. Smiths bill, four of whom are
dead, and whose administrators are
being sued in their stead. In the
bill Of complaint it is set forth that
the directors were largely responsible
for the failure of the institution, that
they were negligent in their manage
ment Of it's affairs and left the entire
charge of the bank in the hands of
c. Jones RiXey, its president and
treasurer, who was able to embezzle
more than 100000 OF its funds. It
is also asserted that dividends were
paid by the directors to the stock
holders although they had NOS been
earned
The directors set up 46 grounds Of
demurrers, the principal one being
tina: the statute of limitation protects
them, as more than three years have
elapsed since the negligence was al
legged 10 have Ttaken place.
A large number Of attorneys are
engaged in the case ana the argu-
ment to the demurrer will require
several days. Samuel G. Brent, Com
monwealth's Attorney represents the
receivers and the directors are repre-
sented by Col. Francis L. Smith, Cord
ner L. Boothe, J. K. NJ. Norton, James
r. and H. B. Catcn and Vernon Ford
and John S. Barbour.
Should the demurrer be oyerruled,
the suit, which is a chancey one, will
be referred to a commissioner for
the taking Of testimony as to the la
bility of each director.
The suit was instituted two years
ago by w. H. Broughton, one of the
depositors. The directors demurred,
and in view of decision in the Su-
preme Court Of appeals that a receiv-
er and not a depositor, was the pro-
per person to bring suit against direc-
r:ors for negligence in handling the
affairs of he bank the demurrer IN
the Broughton suit was sustained and
She case dismissed. Receiver Smith
was then instructed to bring the
present suit by Judge Louis c. Bar
ley, of the Corporation Court.
