Cooper Action to Deter

mine Payment Policy.

Payment OF the IS rer cent divi-
dend of about $1,000 to depositors
of the United States Savings Bank
which had been scheduled to begin
next Monday morning, may be post
poned indefinitely because of the new
suit which Col. Wade H. Cooper, for
mer president Of the bank. filed in
District Supreme Court yesterday
against Treasury Department officials
Although Cooper's counsel, w. Bis
sell Thomas. indicated that no rule
or preliminary injunction was asked
in the suit, because Cooper did not
wish to prevent the depositors from
getting the dividend. there appeared
considerable doubt early today about
the whole question of the dividends
Treasury Making Study.
Treasury officials were making a
careful study to determine whether il
would be wise for the receiver to &C
ahead now with payment of the divi-
dend as planned. Cooper in his suit
claims the bank now is solvent ano
asks a temporary injunction to re-
strain Carter B. Keene, receiver, from
acting as receiver and withholding the
banking house. with its assets, from
the officers, directors and stockhold-
ers. The Government has always
insisted the bank is insolvent.
If this new move of Cooper's should
postpone payment of the dividend, il
would be the second time he has
blocked distribution of funds to de-
poSitors Of the bank.
Fought Merger.
The first time was when it hao
been planned to include the United
States Savings Bank in the Hamilton
National Bank merger. Cooper went
to court to fight the merger and ir
the midst of the hearing the Govern
ment and the Hamilton bank dropped
the savings bank suddenly from the
merger. The savings bank would have
paid so per cent to depositors last
year had this institution been included
in the Hamilton bank
At the savings bank, at Fourteenth
and U streets, plans had been COM
pleted to begin payment Monday
morning and the entire business and
residential community was eagerly
awaiting the first funds from the
bank since it was closed in March
1888.
John F. Moran. receiver for the
bank, has extended the official time
for creditors of the insolvent institu-
ion to file claims up to July 81.
