The news scimitar. (Memphis, Tenn.) 1907-1926, 1920-02-09

No modification whatever of the dras-
tic order of Walker D. Hines, director
general of railroads, directing all box
cars available for handling bulk grain
be diverted from this territory to the
grain belt of the North and West for
use in moving grain, had been received
by local railway officials Monday noon,
and the order was still in full effect,
although being interpreted as literally
as possible for local interests, despite
the fact that the Memphis Merchants
exchange and The News Scimitar had
received information from Washington
that the drastic order did not apply to
Memphis territory, and it's enforcement
here was through misinterpretation of
the director-generars order.
1t was estimated that fully 800 cars
of freight from Memphis industrial con-
Germs and other shippers were being
held up here Monday by the car short
age and the inability of the railroads to
supply empty cars for loading.
Where shippers received cars of grain
products railway officials permitted the
cars to be loaded again with grain prod
ucts Monday, but shippers of other com
modities in carload lots were held to
come within the meaning of the order,
and were denied cars for loading.
Twelve trains carrying q total of SO
cars had been sent north Monday since
midnight, under the special order, but
unless the order is authoritatively can
celed at once the movement is expected
to be very heavy during the next few
days,
However, the movement of boxcHrs to
| the grain belt has been in progress fol-
about six weeks, and hundreds of cars
are said to have been sent from this
| territory before the recent drastic or
| der was issued.
| At one time cars became so scarce
here that the local depots on two rail
I roads had to be closed temporarily be-
cause there were no cars available tt
load out merchandise shipments.

TRUST VIOLATION.
CHARGED TO BANK
Suit Alleges Manhattan's
Course Illegal Ralph Davis
Also Comes Under Fire.

Gross violation of trust placed in the
bank by a depositor and characterize =
ton of Ralph Davis fees as being no.
toriously high are among the charges
in a suit filed in the chancery cour,
Monday by r. Gatz Brown, as attor-
rey for John G. kuberich, of ST. Louis,
against the Manhattan Savings Bank
end Trust company. Kuebrich seeks to
recover the interest on S522.03 froul
Nov 1888, and the sum of $266 %
with six per cent interest from the
same date.
Kuebrich declares in his petition that
he has been a depositor with the Man
haitian Savings Bank and Trust com
pany for 20 years, that during 1915
he had on deposit more than $4,000
drawing interest and that in the lat
ter part of 1917 he forwardedN to the
bank a note and mortgage for zoo
with instructions to foreclose the same
Instead Of placing the foreclosure pro-
ceedings with its own attorney, tht
petition declares, the bank gave tht
papers to Ralph Davis whose practice
is almost wholly in the criminal court:
and whose fees are VIGOROUSLY high.
This was done, the petition says, with
cut any contract having been made
with Davis as to his fee.
After much inexcusable delay, thu
petition continues, "ravis foreclosed thu
mortgage and charged fee of $500
for his services" This amount wa
declined by Kuebrieh and the bank ad
vised Of his action

before J. J. Mcnamara. a justice Of tn,
peace. and secured a garnishmen
| against Kuebrichs account the banl
answering on Nov. s. that it would
withhold the sum Of $525 pending thu
| decision of the court. The petition re
cites that the bank wired him ON Nov
| Z that his account has been garnfshe'
on Nov, 10 that it had paid to a deput'
| sheriff the sum of s5220S
Kuebrich declares these statement
are untrue in that the money was no
| paid until Nov IA. He also declare
that the judgment Of the court wa
| void because of the fact that due no
tice was not given according to law a
required in the case of a nonresident.
