soon have all the depOsitors in line. By

who have been Fostering the depositors
and trying TO profit by their troubles.
1--WE went over the case thoroughly
with Mr.. Murray yesterday. and from now
on the depositors will work in harmony
with the other interests TO bring order out
of chaos. We anticipate no additional liti-

we are sure that our interests are pro-

Against this. however, the depositors
