German Group Again Target

NEW YORK, June 12.-Renewed
while domestic issues held firm or adj
vanced steadily, characterized todays
bond trading.
The most serious situation existed in
the group of German foreign dollar
bonds. European sentiment against any
conference on reparations at pres mt,
the threat to Chancellor Bruening's gov
eminent shown in the general rioting
in Germany against the emergency
taxes, and the consequent flight of cap
1tal out Of Germany combined to cause
one of the severest declines that Ger
man bonds have had in months.
The selling started on the European
exchanges. especially London, and be-
fore New York opened Young Plan S l2S
were quoted as low as 63l2. Prices
here quickly adjusted themselves to
that level. The Dawes Preparations Is
dropped to new low on the movement,
Prussian issues dropped and points,
German General Electric bonds were
of to points, and other German
municipals and industrials had like
movements.
At todays quotations for the Young
plan 51as, of which S97 100000 were
put out here at 80 little more than a
year ago, American holders of the bonds
have suffered a depreciation of about
SO 100000. Since comparable prices
obtain for most other German securi-
ties. the indicated depreciation of ap-
proXimately 81 800 900, 900 Of German
dollar bonds in this market totals about
S325 100000. This is by far the largest
depreciation of any nations credit in
this market, though the South Ameri-
can list, If taken as a whole, shows a
heavier loss.
Fresh troubles in Peru and murmurs
from the radical organizations in Ar
gentina and Brazil brought new liqu;da-
tion into South Americans. The Ar
gentine group was off 3 and points
in light trading. Brazilians dropped
fractionally after opening stronger.

apparently does not seem to care much

that Chicago faces its most serious
crisis because people are not paying

Taxpayers are refusing to meet their
obligations to public service. Collection

PITTSBURGH, June 12.-Discussion
of methods by which banking services
can render added benefits to the Ma
tons varied business activities fea-
tured the second series of sessions of
the departmental conferences at the
convention of the American Institute
of Banking Section of the American
Bankers Association here.
In a paper presented at the depart
mental conference on trust functions,
James D. Fisher, manager estates de-
| partment, trust division, Colorado Ma
tional Bank, Denver. said that strik-
! ingly favorable feature of the function
| ing of trust department was disclosed
by the suspension of the Bank of United
States in New York City. Although all
banking functions of that institution
ceased and all commercial funds on de-
| post we're tied up by the closing, he
! said, the trust department, with trust
assets aggregating $100,000,000, has con-
! tinued to function uninterruptedly, and
| no losses will occur to the beneficiaries
of trust funds.
| H. 1880, the administration of trust
and custody accounts has proceeded
steadily" said Mr.. Fisher. The cash
on hand as shown by the trust ledgers.
which was kept on deposit with the
! bank has, since the closing, been re-
, leased by the superintendent of banks
as a preferred claim. This is tribute
! to the integrity of corporate trustee
| ships and gives further assurance to
the public that trust funds are prop
erly safeguarded. 1t shows that the in
creasing confidence evident during re-
cent years in the protection of estates
and all manner of trusts is fully justi-
I fed"
Good Will Greatest Asset"
Mr.. Fisher, whose subject was THE
Trust Department as a Bearer of Good
| WILL" said that while economic utility
may properly be termed the primary
purpose of the existence of trust de-
partments, the humanitarian side of
their work is equally prominent and de-
serves increasing emphasis. He in
stanced a number of cases where the
exercise of varied services of a trust
company or department had been of
unquestioned direct benefit and protec-
/ ton to individuals, and had thus been
productive of good will toward the in
stitution concerned. He termed good
will 1.-The greatest of our assets

The tax situation in Chicago still re-
mains in confused and critical state.
with every newspaper in the city urging
the citizens to pay their taxes, which
were due on May Is, 40 per cent of the
taxes remain unpaid.
But citizens are bewildered and are
not sure of the outcome. The Associa-

suit in which it contended that the 1928
tax levy is discriminatory tax, and
that it results in taking property with
out cue process Of law. Already the
court has granted an Injunction to these
taxpayers, forbidding the authorities to
sell the properly involved in this ta:i

Grand Duchess Seems Modern
Business Woman in Talk

A very modern business woman in
a very matter Of fact manner told
the story of her life as the Grand
Duchess Marie Of Russia during the
regime Of Emperor Alexander III,
at Caleb Mills hall Saturday night.
In excellent English, although her
accent was pronounced, she dis
cussed her old world background as
preparation for modern life.
Her story concerned the lives Of
the two grandchildren of Alexander.
Marie, and her brother Dmitri, as
a part of the Russian court.
She spoke Of vague forewarnings
Of the revolution; of the blindness
and the helplessness Of the Russian
rulers; Of the assassination of her
uncle, the Grand Duke Serge, be-
fore the very eyes Of her aunt; Of
the advent of the World war and
Of her work as a Red Cross nurse
at the front.
With barely perceprible emotion,
the grand duchess depicted the out
break of the revolution, the terror
inspired by the Bolsheviks, the
murder of seventeen members Of
her family; her fathers imprison-
ment and her own escape to
