RECEIVER COFFIN'S
 QUARTERLY REPORT
Trust Apparently Nearing Ter imitation. - Only Ragged Ends of Assets Now Remain. Another Small Dividend Anticipated.

The quarterly report of George M. Coffin. receiver of the First National Bank. az of June 30th, shows cash on hand in the hands of the comptroller at Washington of S33,577.l4. The uncolleeted assets are divided as fol- lows Bills receivable. good, S2l7,- ss5. .Gg: doubtful, Sli0. 0.990.44; worth less. S3ST75.40. Other assets, good. S6,42164; worthless. S3l ,756.12; ad- ditional assets acquired, good. ST. gf829
 acquired good, S7,949.29.
 l. must be remembered that the classification as given above was made by the comptroller soon after the process of liquidation began. These remaining assets are the ragged ends of the trust and probably no very sub stantial sum will be realized from them However. another dividend is assured The amount of this divi- dend can not be ascertained at this time II will not probably be paid until the trust terminates. The comp troller is anxious Co have the trust closed as soon as possible and the re- eeiver is doing all possible Go comply with the desire expressed in Washing ton
 Already the receiver has paid claim ants of the bank e0 per cent of the face of their claims. the amount paid being Sl,527, ,55l.73.
 While the collection Co date from assets of the bank amount Si,99S,- 436.05 a considerable sum, Sls5,- t45.43. was represented by claims against depositors who had deposits. For instance. If a debtor of the bank owed the bank $500 and had deposit O. S550, the debtor was credited $500 on his debt, the balance of $50 being allowed as a claim against the bank. Such assets did not directly increase the cash collections.
 lt is understood that several of the larger claims, where money was loan ed without security, have proven worthless in some cases and nearly worthless in others, accounting for q substantial part of the uneollectahle assets
 Receiver Coffin has succeeded won. derfully we'll in strengthening out the tangled affairs of the bank which he took over in 1924 and has so handled his trust as not to impose undue hard ship upon the banks debtors, while Maintaining firm hand in the inter ests of the banks creditors.

tariff and farm relief"
AS a first step in their restricted
program the house leaders created
only three committees in organizing
their body for the special session.
These are ways and means, agri-
culture and rules unless other COM
mittees are organized.
No legislation excep5 farm and
tariff matters can be considered
for there will be no place for it to
originate, be whipped into bills or
prepared for general consideration.
But house bosses are taking no
chances on having various groups
overthrow their plans by swapping
votes. They extended the olive
branch to the erstwhile insurgent
group from Wisconsin by electing

Representative John Nelson, head
of the Wisconsons when they COM
bined with the Democrats to wreck
the first Mellon tax plan, was not
restored to the influential post he
once had on the rules committee,

entrench themselves still further on

Committees which now consist OF
thirteen Republicans and eight
Democrats will be revised SO as to

The large Republican majority in
the seyenty-first body is given as

gram by filling a Democratic
vacancy on agriculture with Repre-
sentative Ebert S. Brigham of Yer

Among the most deeply grieved of

death.
"The news brings me the deepest
grief" said New. tom Taggart
and I had been the warmest per-

the entrance of business life in In

was friendship deep and sincere,
which the bitterness and acrimonies
of politics never Jared.
Everyone who knew Tom Tag
CART will be more than sorry he's
gone. He leaves pleasant memories
in the minds and hearts of as many
people as anyone I ever have known.
Representative Louis Ludlow said:
while Thomas Taggart achieved
his widest fame as politician, he
was even more a humanitarian. 1t
was my good fortune to know him
intimately from the time he mah-
aged the restaurant at the Union
station. He had a most gentle,
genuinely sympathetic nature, which
responded nobly to every tale of
want and need.
''He had very human qualities,
and thousands who are now dead,
as well as thousands who are liv-
ing, felt the warmth of his affec-
tionate nature.

II think that he was the best

people was not assumed or just put

that made him almost irresistible in
this line of political activity.
"He had the happy faculty of
holding men to him and welded
them into a political organization
