The Emden was destroyed in the
Bay Of Bengal by the Australian cruis-

The Sydney sighted the Emden
yesterday morning. With superior

battle. The German boat could not
escape. There was running fight

CANTON FAILURE SETTLED.
Directors Anxiety to Settle With De.
pOsitOrs Cause Prompt Ad-
indication Of Affairs.

The Mississippi State Bank at
Canton, which failed after the
Commercial did here, has had all
of its affairs liquidated and closed
up at nominal expense and all of
the depositors are satisfied with
the final adjustment of the matter.
so cents on the dollar will be paid
in cash, and depositors have been
given shares Of stock in a newly
organized company of various pay
ing and running industries.
Attorney W. II. Powell, a son of
Judge Robt. Powell, handled the
legal end of the proposition
through to the end, with practically
not dollars expense, Mr.. Powell
having been one of the former
stockholders. This prompt settle
ment was brought about by the
anxiety of the directors of the bank
to have a settlement made with the
depositors. Practically all of the
expense to the liquidation was
SIS, 900 paid to Paul Saunders. of
New Orleans, an outside, disinter-
esred man. who was selected on
this account, his fee being paid by
the directors of the institution
Judge P. 2. Jones has been in
conference with the Iiquidating
committee from time to time.
The above only goes to show
what can be done when there's a
will to do it. AS soon as the bank
failed at Canton a meeting of de-
positors was held and representa-
tive from them was appointed and
served in their interest to the final
adjudication.
1t is expected that all depositors
will be paid by the Goth. All the
funds are practically in hand.
Canton's per. further
states: The depositors of the
unfortunate bank deserve great
credit for their patience and assist
ance to the Iiquidators. without
which it would have been impossi-
BILE to liquidate the bank. At the
same time due credit must be given
to the directors of the Bank for
their liberal and magnanimous sup
port. which reflects credit upon
their integrity and shows a DISPOSE
tion on their part to do the right
thing"

BRADY MAKES PROPOSAL
viii Quit the Bank Case With No
Charge If Assignees and At
torneys Will Resign.

Messrs. Thos. Brady and A. A.
Cohn. appointed by Judge Jones to
bring certain suits in the affairs
of the Commercial Bank Il Trust
Co. have not yet filed an answer to
the petition of the stockholders and
other petitions asked of depositors
the latter being at the instigation
of the stockholders and under their
control. this having been explained
in last weeks Leaders. The answer
from Attorneys Brady and Cohn
will be made in the next day or
two and is looked forward to with
especial interest by dcposltors who
are refusing to sign the stock hold
ers' document.
Itseems in this matter that a
special fight is being made to re-
move Hon. 7. Brady. Jr., who with
Mr.. A. A. Cohn received appoint
ment from the court to bring ap-
proximateIy 500, 900 worth of suits
against directors and stockholders
of the Commercial in favor of the
depositors.
Mr.. Brady has publicly stated
that he expects to stand by the de-
positors in this fight. and since his
appointment has declined to accept
a case in which there is a claim he
considered against the depositors'
interest amounting to $40, 200. He
further states that since the depos-
itors are antagonistic to the receive
ers and their attorneys and they in
turn are antagonistic to him that
he will resign his appointment if
they will resign theirs, and that
not cent will be charged by him
for his services to date, although
he is entitled to his\portion of the
fees allowed by the court. Mr.. A. A.
Cohn, appointed with Mr.. Brady,
has not been interviewed on this
subject but he will no doubt agree
with his associate counsel and do
what in their judgment the situa-
tion demands in the interest of the
depositors.
