MISMANAGEMENT
BY HIRST CHARGED
Van Briggle Company Again
in Court Tangle.

Encouragement of the affairs Of Nshe
Van Briggle Motor Device Company by
William R. Hirst, receiver, is charged In
petition in bankruptcy filed against
the company in Federal Court by the
Polar Ice and Fuel Company, the 0. d.
Haskell Lumber Company, and the A. b.
KeepOrt Company.
According to the petition creditors or
the company will suffer a heavy loss II
matters are allowed to continue as they
now are being conducted. 1t is charged
the receiver is being paid $40 week Tor
maintaining an Office at the plant and for
collecting bills receivable that should he
collectable without so great an expense.
1t is charged further that the company
has an equity of $31.0 600 in the building
at 1920 North Capitol avenue, but that
the receiver has offered to surrender 1t
to the lien holders without receiving any
thing for the benefit of the Van Briggle
Motor Device Company. ~
1t is charged that the receiver, against
the advice Of attorneys for the COMPANY.
has recommended the dismissal OF TN
appeal Of the patent suit case brought
against the company in Federal Court
here last year by Robert H. Hassler,
Inc, now pending in the Circuit Court
Of Appeals in Chicago.
The petition in bankruptcy marks an
other complication in the long series OF
ENGAGEMENTS in which the affairs of the
motor device company have become In
volved during the last year. The down.
fall Of the supposedly prosperous con-
Germ began last year with the granting
of an injunction against tha concern by
Judge Anderson on petition of Robert
H. Hassler, Inc, forbidding the manu-
Co of oho hSn Jaraa n7
Of the mainstays Of the company's busi-
ness. A little later the company was
thrown into receivership in the State
courts, and since that time suits have
been fled against the president, Wilbur
H Van Briggle, totaling more than $780,
0OO In February the Federal grand
jury returned indictments against Mr..
Van Briggle, II. S. Rominger, treasurer,
and Charles A. Taylor, sales manager,
charging them with using the mails In
a scheme to defraud.

Fidelity State
Bank Closes
LOCAL INSTITUTION CLOSES
WITH CHAIN OF WATER
MAN BANKS

by order of the board of direct
ors this bank is ordered closed"
These words were typewriter on a
sheet of paper that was affixed to
the door of the Fidelity State Band
today at noon. The sign created
some discussion, but not a panic
when the news was purveyed on the
streets during the afternoon. Indeed,
local institution VAS ole Of q chain
known as 'The Waterman Banks. 2"
The main banking house was located
at Charleston and had deposits aggre-
eating more than a million. The
Charleston bank was closed this
morning by order of the bank ex-
aminer. George Waterman, who is
the nominal head of the Waterman
system, wired all the banks in the
chain to close their doors at once.
This order was complied with.
Cashier Schmid reports that there
is no need of alarm. The closing of
the doors is due wholly to the in
ability of the banks to realize on
their securities. The deposits are
backed by the loans, by the capital
and surplus, together with accrued
interest on securities. So far as is
known, however, the banks will pay
one hundred cents on the dollar
when all accounts are balanced.
Mr. Schmid and his assistants
have built up growing banking
business and 1T is hoped and expected
that the bank will soon again oper
for the resumption Of business.
