ging camps in this section have closed

Forest fires are starting unusually

RUSSIAN CO-OPS
WIN FUNDS FROM
NATL CITY BANK
Centrosoyus Now Same
AS Personal---very.
BY LUpWELL DENNY

1 (Staff Correspondent Of the Fed. Press)
NEW YORK, May 7.-Almost two
million dollars have been paid to the
All-Russian Central Union OF Con-
sumers' Societies (Centrosoyus) by
the National City bank, New York, as
the result of the decision Of Federal
Judge Augustus N. Hand in the case
brought against the bank by the Unit
ed States government for the release
OF Centrosoyus deposits. The govern
ment receives 1868, 256.OS, which had
been assigned to it as collateral secur-
ity for war supplies, such as textiles.
food stuffs and machinery, purchased
by Centrosoyus before the Russian
revolution.
Centrosoyus claimed title to its Ma
tional City bank deposits early in 1919.
The bank, while not claiming the
money for itself, questioned whether
the present Controsoyus in view OF
the intervening revolution was legally
the same organization which deposited
the funds. The question Of ownership
and authority turned on the continuity
Of the legal existence Of Centrosoyus
as an independent corporation from
the time Of its Incorporation under the
car in 1898 to the present time.
A committee consisting of Charles
A. Marshall, Centrosoyus attorney.
Major James A. Willis in behalf of the
U. S. war department and department
Of justice, and Col v. R. Ruehl for the
N. Y. supreme court, was sent to, Rus
STA and other coutries to gather data.
The documents recently brought back
by the committee convinced the court
of the identity and legal continuity of
the organization.
Besides the payment to the govern
ment the court required the bank to
pay Centrosoyus $1,946, 774.5O, and al
lowed the bank to retain $3.50, 374.s4
for an advance made by it to Gen.
trosoyus.
