DECISION AGAIsT
DIRECTORS
Supreme Court Sustains Conten-
tiOn Of Receiver Lyons
Directors Liable.
DIRECTORS

AIeXande2 Graves and Horace
IT, Blackwell, attorneys for
Charles Lyons. receiver of the
Middleton Rank at Waverly, re-
ceived word recently that the
Missouri Supreme Court had rem
dered a favorable decision in
the case Of Charles Lyons, Re
ceiver of the Middleton Bank VS..
John E. Corder, Jas. L. Bray,
Samuel Me. Galloway, Annie E.
Galbreath, Mamie c. Steele
and Rena c. Chappell, Ex-
ecutrices OF last will and
estate of Nathan COrder, deceas-
ed, and f. ii. Lewis, the abscond-
ing cashier, who wrecked the
bank.
This was suit against the
directors OF the defunct bank in
which the receiver alleged that
the directors were guilty of neg
lect in looking after the bank S
affairs.
1t was tried at the August
term 1908 of the Lafayette
county circuit court and the jury
returned a verdict for $1S,955.90.
Judge Samuel Davis set aside the
verdict on the grounds that it was
against the weight of evidence,
and Graves and Blackwell APP
pealed from this ruling. The re-
cent decision Of the supreme court
sustains their contention.
The amount involved now,
cou@ting accrued interest, foots
up about $4,000.
Another suit is now pending
against another set of directors
who served during a part Of the
period of Cashier Lewis pecula-
tions.

CITY KEEPS In
THE FRONT FOR
ARMOR PLANT

Robert NJ. Pindell, industrial man
ager Of the Chamber of Commerce. is
compiling three definite propositions
setting forth in detail precisely what
Wilmington has 70 offer in the mat
ter of the location of the proposed
Federal armor plate plant in this
city. What these propositions will
treat with has not been made pub
lie. and It will probably be a month
before any recommendation relative
to the locating OF the new industry
will be sent to Congress.
One of the most powerful argu-
ments in favor Of Wilmington as the
logical place for the new government
industry is the proposed plan to place
the Delaware and Chesapeake canal
under Federal supervision and the
completion of a chain Of intercostal
waterways.
Through this chain OF waterways
materials can be shipped from the
coast of Florida to the waters OF
Maine with Wilmington as a medium.
The proximity of Fort DUPONT and
Fort Mott and the assurance of a
guard of the channel is another
weighty argument in favor Of this
city.

Agree and Will Meet

AMERICAN LEAGUE
BACK OF ELECTION

NEW YORK, Nov. 15-Governor
John X. Tener, of Pennsylvania. can
have the presidency of the National
League for the asking. According
to Charles H. Ebbetts, owner Of the
Brooklyn Club, every National
Lacquer is strong for the former star
pitcher of the Chicago Nationalo. and
the Office at Tener's own terms, will
be rendered by a committee which is
soon to visit the prospective executive
at Harrisburg, Pa.
1T is true" said Mr.. Ebbetts that
saw Hermann, Dreyfuss and Brit
ton in Columbus relative to Governor
Tener's candidacy Also have con-
ferred with Messrs. Baker. Gaffney
and Murphy. and / feel at liberty to
say that all of the eight club owners,
Including Harry N. Hempstead, Of the
Giants, with whom | have not yet
talked, are in favor Of Governor Ten
er's election to the presidency of the
National League.
Il do not think it wise, however,
to discuss the matter further In the
newspapers until we have haa' a con-
ference with Mr. Tener direct
have been unable to locate Mr.. Baker,
of the Philadelphia club to tell him
the result of the conference, but I
hope to see him later.
! Mr. Ebbetts further asserted that
Governor Tener was in no wise inter.
ested in the Philadelphia National
League Club. He had been, but a re-
cent reorganization OF the clubs
stock eliminated this objection to his
candidacy.
/ Tener's campaign will be backed by
the American League. Ban Johnson
is very anxious to have associated
with the National Commission a man
of such universal reputation and es-
teen. The National League stands
ready to meet Tener's request for .
five years term at a salary Of S-o,ovJ
annually.
