Notes Indorsed in Blank

1t followed a controversy as
to who should receive the in
terest on notes sold by the COM
pany to the Potomac Insurance
Company. The notes in question
had been sold to the insurance
company after the Swartzell firm
had been called upon to make
good on other notes which had
been purchased by the insurance
company. The notes so sold to
the insurance company were the
property of a customer Of the
SWartzel firm, who had left the
notes for Safekeeping and collec-
ton with an endorsement which,
in effect, gave the Swartzell firm
absolute title to the notes.
The plaintiff sued for interest
on the notes, secured by a deed
of trust on an apartment house,
which were due from the receiver.
A number of intervenors ap-
peared, including the Potomac
Insurance Company, presen
holder of the notes.
Mr.. Justice Gordon's opinion
follows:
"This suit is brought seeking
to fOreclose under a deed Of
trust given to secure the pay
ment of certain notes secured
thereby. The property on which
the notes are secured is in the
hands of receivers appointed by
this court. Various parties have
intervened claiming to be the
legal owners of certain of the
notes, mentioned in. this suit,
and that they are entitled to the
interests that has accrued there
on and the receivers should be
directed to pay to them such in.

Text of District Court of
Appeals Decisions

the insurance company holds
were deposited with Swartzell,
Rheem and Hensey Company.
"Tn the latter part Of 1880
the Potomac Insurance Com
pany received applications from
Swartzell, Rheem and HenSey
Company to sell as new invest
ments notes aggregating $7O,-
900. The applications were re-
ferred by the insurance COM
pany to Mr.. Phillips, Mr..
George White, and Mr.. Ogilby,
who were members Of its board
of directors and were the three
members Of the finance CON-
mittee and designated to look
into the security back of the
notes before giving their ap-
prOval to the purchase thereof
by the insurance company.
Rheem, as president, negotiated
the sale of the notes on behalf
of the SwartZelI, Rheem and
Hensey Company. The notes
were endorsed in blank and
bought in due course and de-
hvered to the Potomac Insur-
ance Company and said COM
pany gave to Swartzell, Rheem
and Hensey Company its check
for $4,000, and another check
for the correct amount Of the
interest that had accrued on
the notes.
"There is no suggestion Of
any actual fraud or bad faith
on the part Of the Potomac
Insurance Company. There is
no evidence direct or indirect
that aside from Rheem any
director or officer up to Janu-
ary %, 1931-mOre than three
weeks after this transaction had
been completed-knew or had
ever heard that there was any
doubt of the integrity of Swart-
zell, Rheem and Hensey Com
pany or the investment notes
which it had sold or that any
trust securing any investment
notes had been improperly re-
leased.

FIRM s
TRAFFIC BETTER

Traffic volume of Pan Amer
ican Airways Corporation so far
this year has shown substantial
gains over a year ago, J. T.
Trippe, president, said at the
annual meeting of stockholders.
Mr.. Trippe said that in 1888
the company was able to register
an increase in percentage Of
space utilized by passengers, de"
spite the fact that larger equip
ment was installed during the
year. He said that the percen-
tage utilized in 1888 was in the
neighborhood of 48 per cent and
that the average haul per pas
senger in 1888 increased about
35 per cent over 1882. He pre-
dicted that the average haul will
gain further during the current
year and attributed the improve
ment in the company's business
to betterment in the general con-
ditions in those territories in
which the company operates.
Discussing new equipment
which the company has ordered,
Mr.. Trippe said it was intended
to use the new big Sikorsky fly
ing boats in service on the east
coast of South America, straight
through to the Argentine. The
new Douglas airliners will be used
on the west coast, and Lockhead
"Electras" now being built, will
be placed in service on the COM
pany's lines in Mexico, Cuba and
probably China. The new Fair
childs probably will be used on
the company's internal Brazilian
routes and in China. and the
giant transocean Martin Clipper
Ships" will probably first see SER
vice in the Caribbean, Mr.. Trippe
said.
Mr.. Trippe estimated that the
average trip per passenger over
the company's system at the
present time was in the neighbor-
hood of 400 miles. He said that
probably only about 2 per cent
of total passengers carried were
non-paying.
At the meeting Ernest R.
Breech, president of North Amer
ican Aviation. Inc. was elected a
director to succeed Edward A.
Deeds, who resigned due to pres.
sure Of other duties.

Of GOLD
To ENGLAND

Sharp recovery in earnings Of
the Philadelphia & Reading Coal
& Iron Corporation in the first
quarter of 1884 is accredited
largely due to the abnormally cold
weather which resulted in the best
demand for anthracite in recent
years. Anthracite sales by the
Reading for January and Febru-
airy, 1884, aggregated 1,839,170 net
tons as compared with 999,659
net tons in like months Of 1888,
an increase of 839,511 tons, or "a
per cent.
Although the company did not
report sales in dollars for the
March, 1884. quarter, the improve
ment in business is indicated by
net sales for the IL months ended
March 81, 1884, which amounted
to $41 1.983,996 as compared with
$34,671,811 in like period a year
previously. These were the larg-
est sales reported for any r.
month period since the 1881 fiscal
year, when they amounted to
$52,411,388.

TALL TALES DUE.
AS LAWYERS
GO FISHING

The entertainment program for
the annual spring outing of the
Bar Association was "cinched"
yesterday.
Five prominent lawyers, one of
them a judge, departed for
Oregon Inlet, off the Carolina
Coast yesterday for a weekend
fishing trip and their fish stories,
which they are expected to bring
back in lieu of fish, are relied
upon to complete the tall-tale
events of the outing.
Justice o. r. Luhring, District
Attorney Leslie C. Garnett,' his
brother, Col. Christopher B.
Garnett, Charles Jesse, Arlington
county lawyer and Roy st. Lewis,
former assistant attorney gen.
eral, compose the fishing quintet
and it is reported reliably that
they intend to do little bit of
fishing on the trip. At any rate,

fish in those waters that lured
them there.
The fishing trip that took
Mr.. Garnett away and the circus
that Capt. Dave Pine had to
take some children to see, made
Harry Underwood the District
attorney for the day, and he
worked himself into a rather
stern mood for the occasion.
Twice before, Mr.. Underwood
has had the responsibilities of
the office on his shoulders and
in those occasions he learned a
lesson.
Lawyers representing criminal
defendants kept up a steady trek
to the District attorneys office
on those dayS-when Mr.. Under
wood was newcomer there
and imposed on his sympathieS to
obtain reductions in the bonds of
their clients. But Mr.. Underwood
knows what it is all about now.

PROFITS RISE

The next statement Of the
U. S. Smelling, Refining & Min.
ing Co. will embrace the five
months ended May 81 and will
be issued late in June.
For the first two months Of
this year the company reported
earndings of $1.18 a common
share against l cent for the like
period in 1888 and II cents in
1882. For the five months ended
May 81, last year, only 46 cents
a share was earned on the
common.
No estimate is available for
earnings in the current five
months, but profits of between
81 and IS a share on the COM
mon after all charges to reserves
are predicted.
Expansion plans are under
way whereby gold dredging opera
tions will be considerably in
creased over the next year or
two and the gold content of the
gravel is said to be showing
material increase over previous
estimates.

agreed that Swartzell, Rheem
and HenSey Company would
take up said notes and that
the insurance company would
pure h a sc the notes herein
involved. ThereupOn Swart-
zell, Rheem and Hensey Com
pany sent its check to the
Washington Loan and Trust
Company for the amount of the
old notes and the accrued inter
est thereon, and said notes were
delivered to SwartZell, Rheem
and HenSey Company, and the
insurance company sent its
checks to SwartZell, Rheem and
Hensey Company in payment Of
the notes in suit-One check for
$4,000, the aggregate amount
of the notes, and another check
for the interest. This was done
on December 81, 1880. 1t was
not a trade of one set of notes
for another set of notes, nor
was it a swapping of checks by
one company with the other to
make an irregular transaction
appear to be regular, nor was it
a mere bookkeeping transaction.
At the time the Swartzell.
Rheem and Hensey Company
gave its check for $4,000 plus,
it had to its credit in its regu-
lar bank account at the Riggs
National Bank of this city $751;.
900, and in 10 or IL other banks
in this city balances ranging
from $4,000 to $4,000 in each,
while at the same time the PO-
tomac Insurance Company had
a bank balance to its credit of
$25O,OOO, and the bank balance
of SwartZell, Rheem and Hensey
Company in the Riggs National
Bank alone on December 81,

Ralph Endicott, assistant treas
urer of the Washington Loan and

White Sulphur Springs conven-
ton of the District Of Columbia
Bankers Association. The pro-
gram committee, headed by Will

vital interest to both banks and
depositors and has called upon
Mr.. Endicott because of his in
tensive study of the problems in.
volved in the determination of
what constitutes thrift accounts"
and their appropriate manage

Owners of Notes.. Issue

"The question that this court
is to determine is who are the
real owners of the notes and
hence entitled to collect or re-
Ceive the interest thereon.
"The Pot tom &C Insurance
Company is the present holder
of the notes and claims that it
is the legal owner thereof; that
it purchased the same for full
value, in due course without any
notice or knowledge, either &C
tual or constructive of any in
firmaties that might attach
thereto. Other intervenOrs
claim the ownership of the said
notes and contend that the
Potomac Insurance Company
did not purchase the same in
due course, for value, but merely
traded old notes it had formerly
pure ased from Swartzell,
Rheem and HenSey Company
that had no value and were past
due, the trust by which they
were secured having been there

were not innocent purchasers
