and among theme was the Southeast
Missouri Trust Company Of the Cape,

was upon a claim that also was filed
by the State National Bank of Little
Rock. The Mann concern owned
shares of the capital stock of the Lit
tie Rock bank amounting to S24,S95.
When the bank failed the comptrol-
Ter of the Treasury Department at

ment became claim against the mer-
camille concern when it went into bank

Berlin. via London, Oct. 2O.-Gen.
Won Ludendorf has Joined his chief,
Field Marshal Won Hindenburg. in OPP
posing a more ruthless prosecution of
submarine warfare. Field Marshal
Won Hindenburg's position was made
plain at meeting of the Independent
Committee for German Peace Terms
last Saturday, when, through a per-
sonal representative, he requested the
committee to abstain from agitation
for 4 sharper submarine campaign.
Gen. Won Ludendorf has announced
his views through letter which was
read at a big tpublic meeting at
Madgeburg Wednesday by National
Liberal Leader Schiller. The letter
said, in part:
"The hopes of our enemies, based
on extraordinary simultaneous exer-
tons on all fronts, can only be frus-
tratad through mighty efforts on our
part. We will accomplish this if the
German people stand united behind us,
give us their confidence and do not de-
moralize the army by controversies
over the expediency Of means and
ways to success. If, to the outside.
it seems that the program on certain
questions is lacking, this does not
prove that the program is actually at
fault"
Field Marshal Won Hindenburg's
message had the disadvantages of be-
ing delivered at a private gathering of
auditors who were not interested in
having it gain wider circulation. Gen.
Won Ludendorf's letter. however, has
been sent broadcast throughout the
country, through reports of the meet
ing at which it was read, being car
ried by the press agencies.

MANN DIVIDEND
IS 20 PER CENT
Court Rules Out 500 900 in
Claims and Effects
Compromise.

After claims aggregating 100000
against the Mann Bros. estate. bank
rupt, virtually were knocked out by i
finding of the bankruptcy court, and
after another claim for S24, 1913 was
compromised on the basis of $4,000.
the first dividend in the adjudication
of the Mann financial affairs was de-
clared by Referee O. A. knehans.
The dividend pays 20 per cent and
means u distribution Of SS647 among
the mercantile creditors of the Mann
Bros. concern.
Additional dividends probably will
follow within Il short time. and it may
be possible 10 wind up the affairs of
the estate in a few more months. A
fund of approximately $22, 900 remains
in the bank to the credit of Frank B.
Nall, Of St. LooiS, trdstce of the es-
tate.
The checks for the dividend pay
ments have Just been mailed out Of
the office of Referee knehanS. Mann
Bros. went into bankruptcy almost two
wears ago at about the time when the
State National Bank of Little Rock
Ark. failed. The Mann brothers were
heavily interested in that bank
The 100000 of claims against the
mercantile concerns estate were rep
resented by notes which had been
signed by David Mann and Fred Mann,
the two brothers VITO had formed the
co-partnership that went into bank
ruptcy.
The brothers as individuals also went
into bankruptcy. The two Manns had
Endorsed the notes by placing their
names on the backs without having
made any mention in the Endorsement
that they were signing for the part
nership. so that any liability that
might subsequently obtain against the
Manns would clearly be thrown upon
the partnership.
When the bankruptcy trials resulted
it became apparent that the estates of
the two brothers as individuals were
virtually worthless, whereas, the es
tate of the mercantile concern devel-
oped assets amounting to almost
$4,000.
The State National Bank of Little
Rock held such a note for S53,3S2. S5
which its attorneys endeavored to have
accounted as an obligation of the part
nership. Had it been counted an obi
cation of the partnership, the bank
would have had an opportunity to
share in the assets of the concern.
If the claims were against the Mann
brothers as individuals, the claim was
considered worthless.
Several hearings were held to probe
the case, and a few days ago, Kne-
hans wrote his opinion, holding that
the bank claims were against the two
brothers as individuals.
The banks having the notes now are
forced to place their claims against
each of the individuals.
About ten different banks held the
paper on which the claims were based
