Washington, Feb. 5.-Charges that
national banks throughout the South
openly violate the national banking
law by lending money on real estate
mortgages, was made by Sol Wexler,
a New Orleans banker, today before
the House currency reform commit

national banking law should be amend

Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama
were loaning their funds on real estate
to accommodate farmers.
"The farmer is the only man who is
not allowed to take his stock in trade
into national bank and secure credit
on it," said Wexler.

BUILDING cULVERTS.

The Board of Supervisors having
decided to adopt the concrete culvert

The representative of the company
making the sale, will be here within
a short while when a demonstration
of the workings of the device will be
made.
The usual method Of building cul-

Jackson, Miss, Feb. 5.-Suits to re-
cover unpaid subscriptions will be filed
by the receivers of the defunct Ma
tional Warehouse Company against
three to four thousand Mississippi
farmers who subscribed for shares in
the concern, and made only partial pay
ments thereon.
This announcement was made close
ly following the filing of the bank
ruptcy schedule by V. Otis Robertson,
attorney for the warehouse company.
The amount of these unpaid stock sub
scriptions was not set forth in the
bankruptcy schedule, but 1t is learned
that the expert accountants exami-
nation shows about $4,000 of unpaid
stock on the books.
On some of these claims 1t will of
course be impossible for the receivers
to collect judgments after they are
obtained, but all solvent STOCKHOLDERS
who have not paid up their subscrip-
| tions in full will be expected to come
across. Owing to the large number
of persons involved, and the fact that
the vast majority of them are small
farmers, these suits will necessarily
arouse a storm of protest throughout
the state.
Hon. Fred NJ. West, bankruptcy ref
cree for this district, has issued a call
for a meeting of creditors to be held
in Jackson on Thursday, Feb. 13, at
which time the plan of liquidation will
be fully discussed.
Authority has been given to the re-
ceivers, Messrs. George B. Power, Os-

an immediate appraisement made of

Warehouse Compan, set forth in the
bankruptcy shedule. The company
lists its property of this class at $780,
655.49, and the receivers, from infor-
nation they have gathered, do not be-
lieve it is worth more than 80 per cent
of that sum.
V. Otis Robertson, counsel for the
warehouse company, asserts that the
claims of foreign creditors, chiefly cot
ton brokers at Bremen, Havre and
Hamburg, amounting to $51 ,4O9.O7, are
not just or equitable, and should not
be charged as liability. The receiv-
ers do not fully coincide in this view,
and these foreign claims, all un-
secured, will be treated on their in
dividual merits. They arise chiefly
from the non-delivery of cotton, and
represent the difference between
prices at which the National Ware
house Company sold cotton in Havre
Bremen and Hamburg, and what the
European firms were compelled to pay
for cotton when the warehouse compa.
ny failed to fill it's contracts.
The bankruptcy schedule was not
submitted to the court under oath from
its officers, which is the usual require
ment, and the receivers desire it dis
tinctly understood that the schedule
IS not their compilation, but the worl

It was merely certified by the attor

In the opinion of the receivers, nont

for unsecured creditors is that som
money may be realized through suit
against stockholders who have not pai
