I. The failure to present in
terest notes for payment at the
time and place specified does not
f~,-fsit PLAINTIFF right to Gc-
eelsrats the principal note under
proUisions declaring the principal
note due upon default Of any in
terest payment.
2. Nor does the fact thGt
neither PLAINTIFF declaration nor
affidavit of merit alleges a pre-
sentiment of the interest notes
for payment, at the time and
place specified, bar her right to
declare the principal note due
and recover thereon.
In the case of Huysentruyt VS..
Adams, ct al, At Law No. 83270,
the declaration consists Of four
counts, each declaring upon the
joint promissory notes Of the de-
PENDANTS. The notes involved in
the first three counts Of the
declaration are interest notes,
maturing on successive dates,
from August, 1882, to August,
1888. The note involved in the
fourth count is due and payable
to bearer or order" on February
2, 1885, but contains. an accelera-
tion clause which provides that
default in the payment Of inter
est, evidenced by notes Of which
those declared upon in the first
three counts are a part Of the
series of fourteen originally exc.
cuted, "at the time and place
when and where the same be-
comes due and payable" shall,
"at the election of the legal hold
ers thereof" make the same due

8 BANKS ACCEPT
HARTMAN TOLL

Nine Of the 10 banks and trust
companies in the New York Clear
ing House Association are under
stood to have agreed to sign con-
ditional agreements to settle their
alleged proportionate liability for
losses suffered by depositors in the
closed Hartman National Bank
& Trust Co. At least eight Of the
remaining 10 will await court de-
termination as to liability.
Settlements, it is understood.
will be made on the basis Of the
deficit in deposits at the time the
institution closed in March, 1888,
when the total loss was estimated
at $6,300,000. Gross payment by
the nine banks is estimated to
represent about 40 per cent of this
total.
Chase National Bank, Manu-
facturers Trust Co. and Corn Ex-
change Bank & Trust Co. are un-
derStood to be among the larger
institutions agreeing to make pay
ment.

Note Maker Is Liable

In the case Of Harrison v. Beals
Ill Ore, 563, 222 Pac. 728, the
court, after reviewing the authori
ties upon the subject and criticiz
ing the holding in the case Of
Bardsley v. Washington Mill Com
pany, supra, said:
'If the maker, who is Ger.
tainly primarily liable on the
note, is liable at all, he is liable
for the performance Of all the
terms thereof. He has agreed
to meet all those terms. One
Of them is that, If the interest
is not paid when due, the whole
sum of both principal and in
terest shall Immediately be-
come due and cOllectible at the
option Of the holder Of the note.
He is as liable to perform that
condition as he was liable to
pay at all. The preCedentS al
ready cited give to that pro-
vision as much dignity and ab.
solute effectiveness as to any
other Of the terms Of the note.
Gas to presentment to maker,
the statute has not made any
exception requiring 1t for en-
fOrcement of the acceleratiOn
clause, any more than for any
other Of the terms of the note,
and We cannot supply such an
exception. The plain import Of
the statute is that no present
ment is necessary in order to
enforce any Of the provisions
Of the instrument against the
maker who is primarily liable
thereon. This Washington case
Is distinguished In James Y.
Brainard-JacksOn and Company,
GA Wash. IT'S, 116 Pac. 633, by
Mr.. Justice Fullerton saying Of
the holder:
"CHe was not obligated to go
to the maker and make . formal
demand, and such is not the
holding in the case Of BradSley
v. Washington Mill Company,
wash. 533, 1O3 Pac. S22, 1872 Am.
st. Rep. 1882"
After hearing, Justice Bailey
sustained the motion for judgment
because Of the inSufficiency Of the
affidavitS Of defense.
The plaintiff was represented by
D. M. Patrick and the defendant
by Louis Denit.
The Washington times., 1934-06-14
Presentment Rules

Section 1874 Of the Code pro
videS:
"Presentment for payment is
not necessary in order to charge
the person primarily liable on
the instrument, but If the in
strument is by its terms pay
able at . special place and he
is able and willing to pay it
there at maturity, such ability
and willingness are equivalent
to q tender Of payment upon
his part. But, except as herein
otherwise provided, presentment
for payment is necessary In or
der to charge the drawer and
indOrSerS."
In the case Of Moore ct al VS..
Kenemeyer, 271 S. w. 653, suit
was brought by Kenemeyer against
Moore and another upon q
promisSory note executed by
Moore, payable to Kenemeyer Eat
Corpus Christi, Texas" and pro
vided, among other things, that
at the election Of the holder,
failure to pay the principal or
any inStalment Of interest should
mature the whole debt. The
plaintiff recovered Judgment upon
q directed verdict and defendants
appealed.
The Washington times., 1934-06-14
Need Not Prove Demand

In disposing Of this question
the court said:
"The overwhelming weight Of
authority in this country is that,
in IN action against the maker
Of a note payable at a particular
time and place, a demand need
not be averred or proved. If,
however, the maker was ready
and offered at the time and
place to pay it, this is q matter
Of defense to be pleaded and
proved by him.
"The proposition is thoroughly
considered in Wallace v. NC
Connell, 13 Pet. l36, 10 L. Ed. IS.
"""" Such being the state Of
the law generally in the United
States and particularly in Colo
RADIO, both by judicial decision
and legislative enactment, 1t
would seem that the objection
raised upon this appeal is en-"
tirely without merit, that the
appeal is frivolous and taken
solely for delay. We can reach
no other conclusion than that
the appellants have abused
their right or privilege Of ap-
pealing, have needlessly con-
sumed the time Of this court
with q question previously set
tied in this jurisdiction, and
vexatiOusIy delayed and har.
SsSed appellee in the collection
Of q conceded debt, for which
an Appellate Court, in admins
tering Justice, should impose
the penalty"*"."
The fact that a note contains
an acceleration clause, or is ont
of a series which contains suct
a clause giving the holder Thereof
an option to declare the who'll
series due and payable upon de
fault of one in a series, does no
alter the law with respect to pre-
sentiment for payment.

DROUGHT AREAS
STILL NEED
MUCH RAIN

Although rains during the past
week have been of "ineStimable"
value to farmers in the North
western States, the United States
Weather Bureau has not pro-
nounced the drought broken"
except in local areas.
The good rains which have oc-
Cured since June l came too
late to be of much benefit to
most winter and early planted
spring grains. Recovery of the
parched grass lands and pastures
is expected to be slow, but in
some areas they are now green
ing" up remarkably we'll.
One Of the most important re-
suits of the rains is the re-
pleniShing Of livestock water sup
plies which had been reduced
to extremely low levels by the
continuing drought.
Action by the AAA Wednesday
adding 172 counties in 10 States
to the official drought list,
brought the total of drought
counties to 1872 in 81 States.
The latest designations include
one new State, Missouri, in which
33 counties were placed in the
secondary classification, Other
new designations are additions to
the secondary lists in Iowa, Illi-
noiS, Indiana, Kansas, Minnesota,
Nebraska, Wisconsin, Wyoming
and Oregon. All counties in Iowa
are now included in the secondary
list.
Spring grains, which had been
lying in dust since planting, are
now terminating and seeding Of
emergency forage crops in fields
where early grains had been
planted and later abandoned is
progressing rapidly. The AAA is
encouraging planting of these
crops in order to supplement the
curtailed hay supply. The Weather
Bureau states:
However, additional rains
are needed to advance, or even
maintain for an appreciable
length of time, the present i'm
proved outlook"
The bureau reports that the i'm
portance of the recent rains can
be seen in records which, in the
Dakotas and Montana, for ex-
ample, is nearly as much as the
total for the five months from
January to MAY,

DICKENS MOVIE
To Be SHAPED
BY WALPOLE

NEW YORK, June 14.-Hugh
! Walpole arrived in New York re-
Gently on his way to Hollywood.
What with the good state OF
modern writing and the prospect
Of work in the film capital he
was quite happy. Mr.. Walpole be-
Ieves that the age of cynicism is
over.
The British novelist, who Is
vice president of the Dickens Eel
lowship, among other things, has
been hired by Metro Goldwyn-
Mayer to keep their forthcoming
production of David Copperfield"
so English that it will not fetch
a protest out Of the Sternest Buy
Britisher. His employment, he
confessed. fulfilled a long-nour-
ished ambition.
Selznick in Party
Mr.. Walpole was accompanied
by David o. Selznick, associate
producer for Metro -Goldwy1l-
Mayer; George Cukor, who will
direct the screen epic; How
ard Easterbrook, the prospective
scenarist, and Peter Trent, a 19-
year-old English actor tentatively
scheduled for the lead part. Con-
ferences were the order Of the
day all the way across the At
lantic.
Mr.. Selznick, who had been
diverSifying his work Of gathering
Dickens material and adding to
his collection of distinguished
foreigners by trying to persuade
Lloyd George to permit a film
based on his memoirs, explained
Mr.. Walpole's task. He said:
Lovers Of Dickens are the
greatest sticklers in the world
for accuracy, Mr.. Walpole is
vice president Of the Dickens Eel
lOwship and an expert on Dick
enSiana.
eve spent about a month
over there, going to all the places
mentioned in the book, taking
transparency shots which will
be used for actual backgrounds,
and making thousands of still
photographs, to be used in con-
Structing sets. Never have such
pains been taken on a single
picture"
Children Needed
Mr.. Cukor nodded happily. Only
one thing was disturbing Mr..
Cukor. He explained:
1--WE need a dozen or so chill
dren for the picture" he said.
''That will be our biggest prob
lem, we weren't allowed to bring
back any English children over
here. I think we may go to Bos-
ton for them. The children Of
Boston at least will be nearer to
British children than, say, chill
dren of the Midwest or New York
