"SOME HEN"

Mrs. L. H. Baldwin had the shock of her life the other morning while gathering eggs. She found in one nest what resembled an ostrich egg and she wondered if one of her bid dies had fooled her and in reality was member of the ostrich family. It was some egg. In circumference it measured 7l2 inches and around the long way nearly ten inches.
 But that is not all After the out CT shell had been cracked and the white and yolk extracted, another nor mally sized egg was found within, shell and all. We never heard of just this kind of an egg before and We are wondering if you ever have.
 It is on exhibition at the Miner of- flee.

then proceeded for q period Of about
ten days, and although they were
fully aware Of the dangerous and
nenacing condition resulting from
their presence and activities in Can
ton.
Although on April 7, 1919. said
bank examiners had been unable to
call the attention of said McFadden
and his counsel to any irregular or
Objectionable transaction, although
requested SO to do under the most
pressing circumstances, they. never
theless, on April II, 1919, broadly
charged the complainant and said
McFadden with irregular and unlaw-
full acts and with resort to evasive
methods and subterfuges in order
to conceal the real character of
transactions, making claims with
respect to conditions and facts as
to which they could not possibly

tended to continue to foster and in
cite the alarm and apprehension al
ready existing in the community
and, if possible, by this means to
ruin the complainant, and being un-
able to ascertain from the said ex-
aminers, although inquiry was re-
peatedly made, when they would
finish their examination and leave
Canton, the complainant president
was obliged, on April T, 1919, to call
upon counsel, c. La Rue Munson, of
Williamsport, Penn, for legal advice
and assistance.
"On that date Mr.. Munson, ac-
companied by said McFadden, inter
viewed the said bank examiners,
Roberts and Stauffer, and Mr.. Nun
son inquired of the said bank exam
lners as to the transactions which
said McFadden had had, or in which
he was interested, to which they OBJ
Jected. Said McFadden then stated
New-York tribune., 1919-05-25

relation whatever to the present
condition of the bank.
"The said Roberts, nevertheless,
insisted that said information should
be furnished, and it was agreed that
the said information should be de-
livered during the following week.
Complainant counsel thereupon
asked the said Roberts to specify
the unsatisfactory conditions re-
ferred to in said letter and to name
the irregular and unlawful acts
which it was therein claimed had
been committed by the complainant
and by said McFadden. stating that
in view of the fact that an answer
was called for, it was only fair that
these general charges should be
made specific in order that it might
be possible to make reply thereto.
''The said Roberts, who was
throughout the spokesman for the
said examiners, absolutely refused
to make any specification whatso-
ever or to state any item subject
to criticism or to specify any unlaw-
full or improper or irregular act
committed by the complainant or
by said McFadden.

High Public Official

ne bringing OF Mr.. Williams,
whose Office places him in control
of all the national banks of the
United States, in court by the First
National Bank of Canton almost
suggests the combat between David
and Goliath. Canton is small in
dustrial city of 2,200 population,
surrounded by a farming commu-
nifty, AS is the custom in places of
such compactness, the inhabitants
mingle freely together and news
spreads with great rapidity.
In calling attention to these con-
ditions the bill of complaint says:
THE extraordinary protracted
visit Of the bank examiners, their
unusual activities at the complain
ant bank, their constant association
and conferences with the competi-
tors Of the complainant, who are
well known in the community to be
inimicable to complainant and it's
president, and their disclosures of
the confidential business of the bank
to them and TO others, the questions
raised by them with respect to the
assets of the bank and their en-
deavors to stir up litigation in the
manner aforesaid, and their appar-
ONT ~, lica ocJ bo~+;1;4,, xu,ol 49,;
dent by them on all possible occa-
slons, became noised throughout
the town OF Canton and the sur
rounding community, and these mat
ters became the subject of comment
and discussion among the residents
thereof during the time that the
said examination was being con-
Quoted, and the entire community
became alarmed and the depositors
of the complainant became intensely
apprehensive with respect to the
safety Of their deposits.

was in some serious difficulty and
that drastic action by the Controller

have had any personal knowledge
whatsoever. 1t was the duty of the
said bank examiners themselves to
specify what paper and what trans
actions, if any, were found to be
Objectionable. Even in the said
letter of April IL, 1919, they did
not point out a single Objectionable
transaction on paper. On the con-
trary they called upon said McFad-
den, without legal right or author
ity, to take up and pay notes which
were to be specified and described
by him and not by them, entirely
without reference to the character
Of the paper, the collateral by which
it was secured or the financial re-
sponsibility of other persons or
corporations primarily or secon-
darby liable therefor, the mere fact

to be sufficient reason for requir-
ing the immediate payment of said
obligations.
accomplishment alleges and charges
that the real reason for the de-
mand contained in said letter was
to cause it and its president fnan-
cial embarrassment through the ne
cessity Of taking up such paper.
The preteXt pom which the demand
was based was that said McFadden
had volunteered to take uD such
paper, although, as it was well
known and thoroughly understood,
he did not volunteer to take up
such paper because of the least
doubt as to its value, but solely for
the purpose Of relieving the bank
of the criticisms of the defendant
and his agents, however arbitrary,
in order that the bank might be
freed from the dangerous situation
which had been brought about bv
the activities of the defendant and
his agents, the said bank examiners.
Said letter, like many letters there
tofore written, constituted q part of
the scheme of the defendant to
build up a record which he might
subsequently rely upon and use
against complainant and its presi-
dent, whether reply was made there
to or not.
Upon receipt of this letter coun.
sci of the complainant stated on its
behalf that the list of paper called
for would be gladly furnished. AS
a matter of fact, substantially all
of the said paper had already been
taken up and paid and said paper
had been paid prior to the time
when the bank examiners left Can
ton, SO that they were we'll aware
Of that fact when said letter of
April IL, 1919, was written. Com
painant's counsel stated to the said
examiners the fact that the said
paper had been paid and that there

"7. From demanding, or attempt

complainant or it's officers for the

den and the complainant, and its and
his property and business in the man

New-York tribune., 1919-05-25

alarm and apprehension aroused in
the manner hereinbefore mentioned.
Beginning immediately after the
publication by the defendant of his
letter Of March /, 1919, and up to
the time Of the departure of the
said bank examiners from Canton
on the 18th day Of April, 1919, there
was withdrawn by depositors from
the complainant the sum of about
100000, and 1929 depositors closed
their accounts during said period.
Most Of said deposits were with
drawn during the time of and i'm
mediately after the said examina-
ton of the complainant. During all
of this time complainant was abso-
lutely solvent and in thoroughly
sound financial condition, and there
was no possibility of loss to any de-
positor or creditor and no real rea-
son whatsoever for alarm or appre-
hension, except such as was fos-
tered by the wilful, malicious and
destructive conduct of the defend
ant and the said bank examiners.
During the said time the said
John A. lnnes, president of the rival
bank-the Farmers National Bank
was spreading information to the
effect that large numbers of per-
sons were drawing their deposits
out of the complainant bank and
depositing same in the Farmers
National Bank Of Canton, which re-
ports added to the fears and appre-
tensions of members Of the com
munity, already melted by the &C
tivities of the defendant and the
said bank examiners.
"The activities of the defendant
and the said bank examiners were
directly calculated and intended to
cause a panic among the depositors
and customers Of the complainant
and their wilful and deliberate eff
fort to promote and foster such
panic succeeded to the extent here
inbefore mentioned, and, had it not
been for the fact that the complain
ant enjoys the highest reputation
throughout the community for hon
or, soundness and integrity, and had
the members of the said community
not had implicit confidence in the
management of the complainant
bank, and had the complainant not
been in sound and strong financial
condition, it would have been un-
able to withstand the consequence
of the acts Of the defendant and
his agents.

NcFadden Submitted
List OF All Paper

"Thereupon the said Roberts sub
mitted to said McFadden a list Of
all the paper held by the complain
ant bank on March 2T containing
the name of the maker and indorser
of each paper, statement of the
amount thereof and the collateral
securing the same and stated that
he desired said McFadden to go
through this list in the presence of
the examiners and to state what he
knew with respect to the financial
condition of the makers and the
lndorsers and the character of the
collateral or other security. This
he agreed to do and, for a period of
about six hours of continuous ex-
animation, he made a full, frank
and detailed statement with respect
to each and every note held by the
complainant bank on March 27 con-
tanned in the said list furnished by
said bank examiners.
LAS he proceeded with said state
ment said bank examiners checked
the statements made by him with in
formation which they had before
them with respect to each and every
of said obligations, and made notes
of the statements made by him and
compared the information which he
gave to them with information which
they already had, having before
them sheets bound together, each of
which contained the facts with re-
spect to each note or loan. 1t was
clear from the full and complete list
which said examiners handed to him.
as we'll as from their questions and
the records before them, that they
had gathered together the most
minute, detailed and complete in
formation with respect to each and
every loan of the complainant, all
of which must have been in their
possession on April 7, 1919, at which
time they have stated that their in
vestigation was not completed, and
upon that ground refused to give the
information which was then re-
quested.
