CARDINAL GIBBONS IS IS

Friend

Baltimore, July 23.-Cardinal Glib
bons today observed his eighty fifth
birthday. He passed the day very
quietly at the home of Robert g.
Shriver, at Union Mills, Md. Bishop T.
J. O'Conucll. of Richmond, who is
visiting the cardinal, will be the only
person with him, except the members
of the Shriver family. Cardinal Glib
hons went TO Union Mills last Satur-
dav. and Mr. Shriver said today he
would probably pass the rest of this
month there.
Time has made comparatively little
inroads on the cardinals health and his
intellect is as keen as ever. He takes
his daily walks and enjoys them. Dur
ing the last year Cardinal Gibbons has
been unusually active. He has inter
ested himself in virtually all the war
welfare campaigns and in war work >t
other kinds. He has given out in
Vulnerable interviews. and just n few
months ago he celebrated his golden

than in any other like period in our
history. All Of his work has been done
for America. Let not America, who
has given this great peace covenant to
the world, be the only one to repudiate
It.
Three incontestable reasons for the
league, continued the Tennessee sena
tor, are the cost of war. it's sacrifice
of human life and "the utter folly of
creating nations in Europe without Civ
ing them the guaranty of life" He
said he did not agree that Article 10
imposed only n moral obligation to go
to war to preserve the integrity of mem
bcrs, but that it rightly imposed a legal
obligation to do so.

he imperilcd the funds held by him as

with the North Penn Bank by Amber.
II Cashier Meyers tale is true, that
he substituted faxed pages in the loose

have been known to some of the book
keepers such scheme cannot be
worked without confcdcrates, according
to bankers, familiar with the subject.
The banking department has been
censurcd for not acting quicker in the
premises. The criticism is met by the
frank statement of several state Off
cials familiar with the fact that II
proceedings had been started sooner
the situation would have been far
worse. A small group of Philadelphia
bankers were working to save the con
cern. On the surface this seemed pos
sible. A little time and the advance

the North Penn assets was all ap-

developed this appeared hopeless and

of which he refers to as "the incubus

most American of American cities, has

opportunity for advancement such as

bier has personal obligations Mt the
bank for something like 800, 900, for
which no collateral wns given. Mr.
Gerry claims that Governor Sproul re-
moved Amber when he learned of these
transactions.
Mr.. Amber refuses to deny or con
firm the statements, but he has ad
mitted that large sums of state funds
were deposited in the dcfunct institu
tion.
Depositors Plan Action
Mr.. Gerry, as counsel for 236 deposi-
tors. threatens to file a bill in equity
against the state insurance department
to force the return of S175 900 in un-
secured state funds taken from the bank
within the last six months. If the in
stitution is unable to pay depositors
dollar for dollar.
Mr.. Gerry is authority for the state
mcnt that a bill in equity will be filed
against the State Insurance Depart
ment if the bank is unable to pay in
full. He charges that the department
withdrew S175, 900 of its S40O. 900 de-
pogts at the bank within the last six
months on hint of its condition from
the banking department.
This is taking an unfair advantage
of the rest of the depoeitors. Mr..
Gerry said. THE information the State
Banking Department gets should be
kept within it's own department and
not used to tip off certain depositors
in banks that are unsound. That
money must be brought back or be dis
tributed pro rata among all Of the de-

money which still remains is secured by

The Loan to Amber
Referring to the loan made to Charles

missioner. Mr.. Gerry said that in the
eyes of the banking law it was worth
less because it was not backed by col
lateral.

said Mr.. Gerry, but it cannot be
counted as an asset, for there is no col
