CLAIMS
Court Must Rule on Right

Chesapeake Bank, Baltimore

Chesapeake Bank, Baltimore
Whether the claims of the State
of Maryland we're subrogated when
the Chesapeake Bank Of Balti-
more, Md, went into the hands of
receivers December 9, last, is a
question now facing the court of
appeals at Annapolis.
The suits were filed for the Pub
lie Indemnity Company, the
American Bonding Company of
Baltimore and the New Amster.
dam Casualty Company, against
George w. Page. receiver for the
defunct banks.
Bond Deposited
The companies were on a de-
pository bond of $40,133.53, de-
posted in the bank by the State.
These suits, although filed sep
arately, are being heard as one
case.
When the bank failed, the bonds
were paid to the State and the
companies Immediately filed claim
requesting preferential treatment.
These claims were based on the
States priority for payment.
In the circuit court at Balti-
more, Judge Samuel K. Dennis
ruled that the sureties were sub
rogated to the rights of the State,
but that the States rights to
priority were lost when the re-
ceiver took charge of the banks
assets before the State had per-
fected its claim.
Questions Involved
The two questions now under
consideration are:
"Was the State entitled to a
preferred claim against the assets
of the bank in the custody of
the bank commissioner acting
as receiver under the jurisdic-
tiOn of the equity court?
were the SureCleS upon pay
ment of the States claim sub
rOgated to the States rights Of
priOrity?"
The appeal was filed by Attor-
ney Walter H. Clark, Washington
Bowie and Steward and Pearre.
Herbert Levy represented the re-
ceivers.

silver was l to is and both were legal

In various changes in the monetary
system which followed. the gold dollar
remained as the chief base, but in 1878
Congress directed the coinage of silver
dollars and provided they should be

all debts unless otherwise expressly stip-

When the gold standard was adopted

SIR THOMAS Upton
=. IS CRITICALLY ILL
Four Doctors Attend Famous
Sportsman, Stricken With
Severe Chill.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON. october l.-Sir Thomas
Upton, British sportsman was reported
today to be suffering from the effects
of a severe chill and his condition was
causing grave anxiety.
Late this afternoon it was said the
patient was just holding his own. Four
doctors are attending him.
He caught cold about 10 days ago
while motoring and has been unable to
throw it of. At present, his secretary
said. the 80-year-old yachtsman is
very ILL.,"
He will be in no condition to sail for
New York on Saturday as he intended"
said the secretary. LAS matter of
fact, the passage has been Cancelled"
Made Bid Last Year.
In 1880. Sir Thomas made his most
recent bid for the Americas Cup, TAX
ing over the Shamrock V under her
own sail, only to be defeated by the
Enterprise, the best of the American
yachts. Recently he decided to post
pone building his sixth challenger, at
least for another year.
In 1927 he retired as chairman Of the
board of Thomas j. Upton, Ltd, but
was elected honorary life president and
retained active control of the American
branch, Thomas J. Upton. Inc, with
Offices at Hoboken. N. j. He had plan
ned to visit the United States on bust
ness in connection with his business
next Saturday.
Elected to Exclusive Club.
Only last May the Royal Yacht
Squadron probably the most exclusive
club in the world, honored his long
service to the sport In electing him to
membership. 1t was only a few days
after hi 81st birthday anniversary that
he was admitted to the club, membership
In which confers the privilege of flying
the white ensign service nag Of the
British navy.
1t was departure from the practice
of the club, for Sir Thomas in early
life kept a small grocery store and the
fact he had been lin trade" made him
Ineligible under the rules. although there
is a story that King Edward VII, who
was his close friend, tried several times
to persuade the squadron to elect Sir
Thomas.
1t was King Edward who created him
a baronet in 1902, after he had been
knighted in 1898 by Queen Victoria.
On his last birth anniversary he said
he would issue his sixth challenge for
the Americas Cup in September and
the race would take place within u
months of the challenge.
Il must get the cid mug back" he
said then, but subsequently he an
nounced he would postpone building the
Sh2 mrock VI and ii was assumed one
reason for that decision was his failing
health.

DO YOU
 SUFFER FROM
 CONSTIPATION /?

Countless remedies are advertised for constipation. Many relieve for the moment but they are habit form ing and must be continued. Others contain calomel and dangerous min rral drugs, which remain in the sys- lem, settle in the joints and cause eches and pains. Some are harsh purgatives which cramp and gripe and leave depressed after effect.
 Avoid lubricating oils which only grease the intestines and encourage natures machinery to become lazy.
 A purely vegetable laxative such as Carter's Little Liver Pills, gently touches the liver, bile starts to flow. the bowels move gently, the intestines are thoroughly cleansed and constipa- ton poisons pass away. The stomach. liver and bowels are now active and the system enjoys real tonic effect. All druggists sell genuine red pkgs.
