LANG WILL Be

Claim for 100000 viii Be
Presented April q in

BANK WILL NOT REOPEN

SULLIVAN, Ind, March 21.-In-
terest in efforts to clear up Sulli-
van county's tangled banking situa-
ton will be centered in Vincennes
April %, when in Knox circuit court
William Abbott of Spencer will pre-
sent his claim for return, of 100000
worth of Liberty bonds from the
closed Citizens Trust Company.
James NJ. Lang. y, president Of
the trust company, who returned to
Sullivan Monday night after being
a fugitive for more than a year on
a charge of forging $4,000 in notes,
is expected to be the star witness
in the Abbott hearing. Lang as
sertS he returned the bonds to Alb
bolt.
Regardless of the outcome of
the case, Ben C. Crowder, receiver
for the company, believes there is
Scant chance that the concern will
be reopened.
Many Hope for Reopening
With return of Lang-"Uncle
Jimmy" to hundreds of county resi-
dents-many depositors expressed
hope that the bank would be re-
opened. But Crowder points out
that the city already has two banks;
that three others in the county are
closed, and that industrial condi-
tons are bad, due to idleness in the
coal mining industry.
Lang's testimony at Vincennes is
not expected to disclose any great
volume of evidence regarding the
Sinclair oil stock phase of the
county banking situation. He de-
clares he never dealt in the stock
and that his sole connection with
oil was represented in small sums
for wild cat" drilling ventures.
The next court move III the situa-
ton will be at Newport March %,
when a list of assets of Jessup F.
Bolinger, president of the closed
First State Bank of Shelburn, is
filed by his attorney, Lee F. Bays,
with Everett Davidson, federal ref
cree IN bankruptcy.
Grand Jury to Report
Bankruptcy proceedings against
Bolinger, who is serving a term in
Indiana state prison in Michigan
City, after confessing to a forgery
charge, were involuntary. Estimates
of Bolinger's forgeries of notes run
as high as 100000.
The Sullivan county grand jury
will report April Is on its probe of
the situation, including the fatal
shooting Of Edgar D. Maple, vice
president of the Peoples Rank at
Sullivan.
Lang, facing charge of forging
$4,000 in notes, will not be tried be-
fore the May term of the Sullivan
circuit court, unless he asks for an
earlier hearing, Prosecuting Attor-
ney Jesse BedWell announces.
Business Staggers On
In the meantime, business
throughout the county is going on
as best it can under the circum-
stances. Many residents have money
in closed banks. AS yet no esti-
mate has been made Of what per-
centage Of deposits, if any, will be
paid.
Il don't know whether I have
even a dime left" is an oft-heard
remark from bank depositors.

FADING BAND CONCERTS

Occasionally one reads of a band concert which is to be given in some public place. So far as New Britain is concerned these apparently grow ing fewer in number. Can 1t be true that the people are expected to get their band concerts or other musical fare over the radio rather than In public parks? It would seem that way.
 Time was when a band concert was a town event of considerable magnitude. In every downtown green in New England one of the first things usually erected was q band stand These usually went up before q Civil War monument was thought of. In Central Park, New Britain, for instance, there used to be a band stand. and it can be safely assumed that it was not put there for orna- mental purposes. The band stand was used at regular intervals. Concerts used to be given at the spot and the towns populace turned out and had Q mighty good time listening to the music and chatting with neighbors.
 When the band stand was torn down and one erected in Walnut Hill park similar scenes used to take place at the--at that time-newer park. The band concerts were quite a feature of New Britain life until within quite recent years. Seems to us there have been fewer and fewer band concerts in the park as the years passed, until now they are de-
