SUPREME COURT SAYS. USE
OF INITIALS is LEGAL

Washington, June Use of initials
IN business affairs, even in bankrupt
cy proceedings, instead of full names,
was approved today by the supreme
court which reversed a decision Of the
Indiana supreme court that it was not
a satisfactory compliance with the
bankruptcy law for George f. kreit-
lin of indianapolis to register as one
of his creditors &C Ferger," rather
than Charles Ferger" The court al
so held that it was not necessary for
a bankrupt to give street addresses Of
creditors even in large cities.
In the first decision under the 1910
amendment to the federal employer
liability law, the court held that an
administrator is permitted to recover
both for pecunisry loss to an employ
er's estate and for the pain and suf-
fering endured by the deceased.
Prosecution for conspiracy to con
ceal goods of a bankrupt may be
brought within three years after the
offense. The court so decided in the
case of William Rabinowich Of New
York. The New York district courts
holding that prosecutions were barred
after one year, was reversed.

STOCKHOLDERS OF
UNION BANK TOPAY
Justice Jaycox's Order Overrul.
ing Demurrers Is Sustained
by Higher Court.
ST. OOO.O 900 IS At STAKE

Eugene Lamb richards. State Super
,ntendent Of Banks. has won another inn
portant victory for the depositors OF the
Union Bank Of Brooklyn. He has been
advised that the Appellate Division.
Second Department. has handed down a
decision sustaining the order Of Supreme
Court Justice Jaycox overruling the de-
murrers interposed by twenty defendants
in his action brought against the stock
holders OF the bank. This suit was be-
gun to compel the stockholders to pay
81, 200, 900, tho par value OF their stock
holdings, the law providing that a stock
holder OF an insolvent bank 10 liable Tor
the par value Of his stock.
The action was originally begun In
1911 and a number of demurrers were
i%nterposed by the defendants in which
they set up various grounds OF objection
10 the deposltors' complaint. Although
the merits OF the case could not be tried
until these demurrers were disposed or,
nevertheless the demurrers could nave
been brought on for hearing on hve days
notice. However. no action was taken
By the then attorney for the Union Bank
TO bring the demurrcrs on for trial.
When Supt. Richards changed the
management OF the Union Bank about a
wear ago and appointed Joseph q. Deane
as attorney for this liquidation he In
s,ructed those who were placed In charge
OF the liquidation TO prosecute vigorously
this so-called stockholders action. I'm
m~ediately upon Mr.. Deane's appointment
a motion was made for an order over
ruling these demurrers and this motor
was brought on for hearing without de
Law before Supreme Court Justice jay
cox. who on March 3. 1915. handed dow
a decision ovcrruling the demurrers.
In the course OF his opinion Justice
Jaycox took up each specific objection
made to the complaint. and after dis
cussinx such objections at considerable
length overruied each OF them but CAV
leave to the defendants to Withdraw
their demurrer and answer the com
pIaint. The defendants h appealed 4
the Appellate Division, Second Depart
ment, which appeal was argued on Ma
~ last, Since that time the court ha
held the matter under Amusement unit
Yesterday, when a decision was hande
down affirming the order OF the lowe
court upon the opinion written by Justic
Jaycox. This decision clears the way 20
a vigorous prosecution OF the stockhdd
ers' action.
Owing TO the long delay in pressin
the case before Supt. Richards too
. charge a number OF defendants ha'
died or become bankrupt. but nevertht
less Supt. Richards has directed NJ
Deane TO force the case for trial at n
earliest practicable moment and expect
that IL will be heard In a short time.
