 The Trust company is proud of it's record number of new accounts se- cured during the past year which is 959. Many large savings banks in 1, the big cities of the state did not do better than double this number and it { can readily be seen that as com pared 1 to other similar institutions the per centage of gain was really remarka- ! ble. The reports submitted to the !, director at the annual session shows ! that the year 1920 was the best in the history of the bank. It is notice { able, that during this time of de- ! preasion, and lack of employment, , the savings deposits are better than 7! when labor was reaping the so-ca.lled { harvest. It just goes to show that those who are fortunate in having work at the present time are deter ! mined to hang on to their money i while those idle as a general thing did not save for he rainy day.

ITALIAN MAID SUES
SON OF SCULPTOR
Demands $4,000 From Claude
MacNeil for Alleged Breach
Of Promise.

Claude MacNeil the twenty-two-year-
old son of Herman A MacNeil OF Col
lege Point, Queens. one OF America s
most noted sculptors and former presi-
dent OF the National Sculpture Society,
has been sued for 5000 damages for
alleged breach OF promise to marry by
Miss Almena Scorpioni. an Italian giri
who has been maid In the MacNeil
home for the last year The action was
started In the Queens County Supreme
Court. and the complaint and summons
have been served At the MacNeil home
last night II was said that young Mac
Neil regarded the suit as an effort at
blackmail and would fight it TO the
finish.
Mrs. MacNeil. who was formerly Miss
Carol Brooks and Is herself a sculptor
of note, brought the Scorpioni girl from
Italy after a tour Of that country, and
installed her In the home as servant
According to statement made last night
by a friend Of the MacNeil family, the
girl became homesick and was shown
every attention by Mrs. MacNeil. who
took her riding and to the theatre. In
her complaint the girl asserts that
her, and that he told her he would marry
her even II his parents objected.
Two or three months ago the girl
had appendicitis and was sent to a pri-
vate hospital by Mrs. MacNeil, who paid
for the operation and her subsequent
care She recovered and returned to
the MacNeil home, where later she told
the elder MacNeil OF her alleged affair
with his son.
She alleges that the sculptor then
drove her from his home. and that since
then she has been living with another
family in College Point. No member OF
the MacNeil family would discuss the
case last night, but one OF their friends
who said he spoke for them made this
statement:
The woman's story is absurd on It's
face She is several years olde- than
young MacNeil who while she was with
his family hardly exchanged a word
with her. because he does not speak
Italian and she does not speak English.
The most charitable construction 10 be
put upon the matter Is that the woman
was affected as result OF the opera
tion for appendicitis. II any one has
given publicity TO the case in the hope
that the MacNeils will make a large
payment to avoid noto.iety they are
badly mistaken. Claude MacNeil pro-
poses to fight the case to the end
In addition TO being widely known as
a sculptor Mr.. MacNeil and his wife are
socially prominent in New York and
Boston. Mr.. MacNeil modelled the
statue of William Mckinley which
stands at Columbus, Ohio. but he is
principally known for his portrayal OF
tho American Indian in marble and
bronze, examples of which are In most
OF the large museums and art galleries
of the country. Some OF his best known
works are The Zephyr" THE Moqul
Runner" THE Primitive Chant" The
Coming OF the White Man" and THE
Sun Vow" He was born in Chicago
and studied In Pomo and Paris. where
he won honors. He has been an instruc-
tor at Cornell University. Pratt Insti-
tute, the Art Students League and the
