OFFICIALS STATE
 CLOSING BANK IN
 DANIEES0N ERROR

Hartford. July 25.-A committee oc the directorskof the Windham County Savings Bank of Danie1sOns for which the bank commissioners have applied to the Court for a receiver. have fs- sued a statement concerning the huau- cia1 condition of the bank and eE- pressing the opinion that the bank should be released from the restrain ing order. The bank has not been doing business since Aug. 6, 1912.
 On July Is the application of the bank commissioners for the appoint ment of a, receiver was heard in this city by Judge Joseph F. Futile of the Superior court. The application al- legged that the depositors were likely to be defrauded unless this action was taken.
 The bank officials denied this ana asked for "a more specific statement Judge Futile has the application un-| der consideration The directors stats-s ment today says:
 Closing the bank was due to an apparent error of $20,659.44 from the general ledger and a trial balance raIr-| en at that tine- The officials of the bank claimed that these were clerical errors and after a thorough search these errors were corrected and ths. books balanced. The balancing of the books was approved over the sigma ture of Bank Commissioner Fred Pe. Holt.
 '"The earnings of the bank from June 30, 1912, to July 1, 1913. have been| $40, ,245.42. Had the bank been allow ed to invest this sum in the usual way a irregular rates 1t would have real-| ized an increase in earnings of from $1, 800 to $1,8O0
 Even though the bank was called upon to pay a flat dividend upon itg' total deposits during the period re-. ferred to, after paying this dividend' the bank would still have had a bal-| ance left out of it's earnings of &8- 1S7. .54
 'eThis very satisfactory showing is. made in spite of the fact that tho bank has been put to heavy extra eE-' pense for auditing and additional clerical help in connection with the investigation of the banks accountas following the present restraining orr. der.
 ''Upon~ the strength of the actual condition of the bank as shown by it's board and records and the follov-| ing statements of it's assets and ha-' bilitses, it is the opinion fo this con-| mittee that the bank should be rel leased as soon as possible from tha' restraining order and allowed to rel surue business
 Tho injunction was to have e7rpir- ed on August 6 next, but a later or der was secured to run to October g.

Commissioners Plan
 Repairs Needed On
 Joint County Bridges

The county commissioners made a tour yesterday along the Housatonic river during which they inspected various bridges and noted where re- pairs are needed. Among the struc- lures examined were the Derby bridge, Zoar, Bennett's and Southbury.
 They found that Bennet's and South bury bridges will require some new planking and repainting but the other structures are in good condition. Sew 'eral days ago the commissioners in spected Washington bridge and decid- ed that with the exception of some new planking, nothing was needed. The New Haven county commissioners who have joint control over the bridges, accompanied the officials from this county.

 Mclaughlin missed an easy pickup. The game went from 15 to 40 and then to game on McLoughin's ser vice. The crowd was overjoyed as England was leading by six games 10 five. The twelfth game began with a see saw and the players were Is all. Then Mclaughlin passed beautifully giving himself the lead but he lost it by Iobbing out and he lost the second set by sending out an easy drive. Beautiful passing during the first game of the third set kept McLough- lin in the lead. He was playing easily and was apparently rather tired, but he won the game in impressive style. In the second game Parke served a slow but deceptive ball. Mclaughlin going to the net caught Parke short and brought the game to 30-40 at the end of long rally.
