BALTIMORE, June 8.-Weird
tales of the effect of 80 beer on
persons who drink it were told
here last night by Bishop Ernest
Richardson, of Philadelphia,
speaking before a session of the
Baltimore conference of the
Methodist Episcopal Church.
The bishop said a person need
ed to have "a dog, gun and
a hunting license" to find a
speakeasy and he added he would
rather have the speakeasy any
time than saloon. He said:
"There is no doubt of the
nature of 3.2 per cent beer.
Why, only the other day I saw

QARKS BANK ACCOUNT PROBED AT EkABEZZLEkAENT TRIAL
RICHMOND MAY.
GET NEW BANK

RICHMOND, Va, June 7. (U.S.)
Great pressure was being brought
to bear today in behalf of a pro-
posal to organize a national bank
to take the place of the American
Bank and Trust Company, a 32-
year-old $19,OO0,OOO financial in
stitution which has been operat-
ing under restrictions since ter-
mination of the presidential bank
ing holiday.
In recent years the American
had been advertised as a bank
with $3,5OO,OOO capital and re-
sources of $4,000, 900. Most of its
recent difficulties were due to
heavy loans on real estate.
It is now being contended that
the property collateral will have
to be sacrificed for a great deal
less than present value in event
the bank is placed in charge Of
receivers. 1t is reported that
holders of valuable mortgages will
lose more than 20 per cent by Ii.
quidation of the old banks af.
fairs.
At a meeting of stockholders
late yesterday a resolution was
adopted favoring establishment Of
a new bank to liquidate the Amer
leans assets. A report of bank
examiners showed the American
has suffered losses of $4,851 $685.
and that $1,619,67178 in assets is
claSsed as doubtful.
