INVESTORS HELD LIABLE
IN BUILDING ASSOCIATION
Ripley Building Association Stock
holders Held to BE Stockholders as
Well as Borrowers Of Institution.

Ripley, Ohio, May II. - The first
opinion in a series Of three test cases
which have been heard in the Common
pleas court growing out OF the re-
ownership of the Peoples Building d
Loan Company at Ripley, reached
Clerk of Court McBeth last Wednesday
afternoon from Judge William Joseph,
of Batavia. Judge Joseph was here
last week presiding in an action
brought by Receiver Chambers Baird
against Ncttie and Clarence Bootes,
who had issued in Nettie Bootes name
two shares of the company's stock.
They set forth that they had made
payment upon these in the sum OF
Sis.
Judge Joseph holds that while the
defendant is entitled to credit on her
notes for the interest due and divi-
dends up until the time of the APP
pointment of the receiver, that she is
not entitled to credit on the notes
for the amount claimed to have been
paid by her on the shares for which
she subscribed at the time she negoti-
ated the loan. He holds that she is a
stakeholder as we'll as borrower, and
as such must pay her loan and then
share in any amount left for distribu-
ton. There are many other cases of
like nature and it is thought that this
decision will govern them all.

|WHITEWASHING IS
CHARGE BY JOHNSON
BEFORE COMMITTEE
Kentucky Congressman Says Colonel
Was Whltewashed In BergdOll
Escape Investigation BY
Court. Martial.

Washington, May II. - The charge
that Colonel John Il. Hunt, former
commandant at the disciplinary bar
racks at Governors Island, was
"whitewashed" at a court martial re-
sulting from his reputed failure to
take proper precautions to prevent the
escape OF Grover Cleveland Bergdoll,
Philadelphia draft dodger, was made
late Tuesday at the end Of long ses-
sion Of the House Investigating Com
mittee.
Called before the committee to tell
what precautions he had taken to safe
guard Bergdoll while on a gold-hunt-
ing expedition to the Maryland noun
tains, Colonel Hunt had been on the
stand for nearly five hours when he
was taken in hand by Representative
Johnson, Democrat, Kentucky, for
cross examination.
Some Of the questions put to the
witness were extremely blunt and OF
personal nature. Then, after asking
for yes or no answer as to whether
or not he had been given fair trial
and whether or not he had been prose-
cuted aggressively, Mr.. Johnson pro-
ceeded to quote from the court-martial
record certain statements by the pros
ecuting officer directed at the good
standing of the accused.
as that vigorous prosecuting
speech" Mr.. Johnson asked, and Hunt
instantly replied that it was a plea
for his conviction as he saw it.
At this juncture John H. Sherburne
of Boston, counsel for the committee,
interposed that it was only fair to
read from the Judge Advocates ad-
dress, a course which the committee
approved.
at is my purpose to show, although
I may not have the full cooperation
of counsel for this committee" MI
johnson asserted, that the court-mar-
Itial record contains more than a sus-
picion that this witness was white
washed and that counsel participated
only in q half-hearted prosecution
And | think | will show more as | gel

BIRDS TO MAKE
MUSIC ON OLD
FEDERAL HILL
State Proposes to Make "Federal HIP
Bird Sanctuary When II
Becomes the Property
OF Kentucky.

One of the interesting plans for Fed
eral Hill, after it has been acquired
by the state as result Of the cam
paign that began on Sunday, May s,
is to make one line in "My Old Ken
lucky Home" come true and remain
true for all time. "The birds make
music all the day." and so they will,
for 1t is proposed to transform the 236
acres about the historic old mansion
into a bird sanctuary, to which the
whole tribe Of feathered songsters will
be invited and made to feel at home
again. Probably they'll hunt no more
for the 'possum and the COON but
the hooking birds in another Foster
classic and all other singing birds
can be Happy as de day am long"
Nothing much has been said about
this part of the plan, in fact practical
ly nothing has been settled on as to
the details of what will be done with
Federal Hill after it has been pur-
chased. All the emphasis just now is
being placed on the campaign to raise
the fund for its purchase and restora-
ton, and every Kentuckian is called
upon to help. ]. Barbour Russell has
been doing valiant work as head of
the local committee and is most hope
full of the local campaign which OPEN
ed on Sunday, May s, recording
splendid success.

SHOES GOING DOWN.

The high cost of footwear is bound
to fall sharply, if figures given ont to-
day by the Quartermaster Corps are
any indication of readjustment in
prices.
When bids for 100000 pairs of shoes
for the army were opened in April,
1920, the average price was found to
be 1913 a pair. Today, with bids call
ing for 100000 pairs, the contracts
have just been awarded at an average
price of $3,43 per pair cut of prac-
tically fifty per cent within twelve
months.
Such prices will save the taxpayers
millions of dollars in shoes for the
troops.
