the National bank of Commerce had
refused to act as clearing agent for

clared the bank vas solvent and that
the depositors would lose nothing.
There is a plan on foot to turn the
rifle range, east of town, into a train
ing camp for the State Militia. The
following is from last Thursdays Re-
public. "The committee of the Bust
ness Mems League appointed to in
vestigate the question of establishing
a military training camp for business
and professional men reported yester-
day that a camp for college men
should be established and held be-
tween June 20 and August 20. This
time is determined by the .Aittee
as best adapted to camp life in this
section, because at that time the
wood-tick is the only pest to disturb
soldier life, as the chigger and mos
quito have not yet begun to assert
themselves in full force. The COM
mittee also gives the information that
the wood tick may be driven from the
camp by clearing up the oak under
brush. The committee was unanimous
that the best available spot for a camp
near st, Louis is the United States
Reservation at Arcadia, Mo-, where a
tract of woodland two and a half miles
long and three quarters of a mile wide
is subject to occupation. 1t is sup
piled with ground water, has three
wells and the committee believes ar
rangements a be made to pipe wa
ter from a nearby spring. The COM
mittee is composed of Gen. E. j..
Spencer, John b. Denvir, Jr., and Col.
Arthur B. Donnelly. The report, will
be presented to the Executive Com
mittee of the league and the league
will communicate with United States
Army of1cers.n

Trusted Franklin Because he
was Leading Baptist"
tst. Louis Post-Dispatch.,


Tie church membership of John E.
franklin and his reputation as a
pleading Baptist" were among the
reasons which induced Harry @. Nor
row to buy $103, IT'S of the stock of
the Bankers Trust Co., which is now
in the hands of a receiver, according
to testimony given in Judge Hennings'
Court yesterday by Morrow, who is
suing to recover the money he paid
for the stock.
Franklin was president Of the
Bankers Trust Company. He was the
original owner of 500, 900 of the stock
purchased by Morrow. Others named
as defendants are Charles s. Marsh,
Lester s. Parker and Joseph p. Gra-
ham, officers of the company.
Explaining his purchase of the large
block Of stock Marsh testified: ~ had
faith in Franklin. He had invited me
to go to church with him several times
and / had heard he was a leading
Baptist.n
GETS SMILE FROM FRANKLIN.
Franklin, who was sitting at the
counsel table, smiled when Morrow
added that he had been told Franklin
was ''worth $4,000, 000."
In his suit Morrow alleges the
stock was sold to him through mis-
representations and that false divi-
dends were paid when the company
was not earning money.
Morrow testified that in April, 1918,
he signed a contract with the Bank
ers' Trust Company, by which he was
placed in charge OF its corporation
promotion department for a period OF
five years at a salary Of $12, 900 a year,
and commissions representing one
half OF the net profits Of his depart
ment. His title was special vice.
president. Soon after he took charge
he said Franklin urged him to buy
stock. When Morrow answered that
he did not have the money to buy
much stock, Franklin, he said, sug-
gested that the plaintiff borrow It.
He said Franklin told him the stock
soon would COUP 60 points.
Morrow borrowed the money, he
testified, and bought the shares from
Franklin in May, 1913, paying s17, 500
in cash and 1900 in notes, which
Franklin dashed at various banks.
Later Morrow bought SS775 more stock
from others. The price paid fort he
stock was 9105 q share.

Morrow testified that he received
$4,000 in dividends, the last one being
in February, 1913. He alleges that
this dividend was not earned and that
the true condition OF the company
was concealed from him.
In their answer the defendants say
company's failure was due in part to
the building Of the San Antonio and
Gulf Railroad in Texas. Their answer
alleges that the financing of the rail-
road was interfered with by the re-
tirement of Ben F. Edwards as presi-
dent of the bank of Commerce, as
the bank, through Edwards had guar
anteed loans up to $1,000, 900 to the
Bankers Trust Co. to build the road.
After Edwards retirement the new
management of the bank failed to
carry out this arrangement.
The trial of the case was concluded
Saturday and the jury gave Morrow a
verdict forthe amount asked for.-ED.
