Final legal move OF Circuit Judge
Earl E. Cox to seize the last tangi-
BILE asset of closed banks of Indian
apolis will be taken in Federal Court
within 10 days when suit is filed
against the ponds of officers of the
defunct States Savings and Trust Co.
The suit, expected to be for ap-
proximately 100000. is one of a
chain of similar suits, ow pending,
that are expected to save for bank
creditors the most visible and ne
gotiable assets of defunct banks.
Coupled with this last legal bat
tie to insure money to bank cred
itors. an attempt to change trustees
of Florida real property in litigation
in the Meyer Kiser case will be re-
sisted by Judge Cox.
Confident of Success
Attorneys for the receiver of the
State Savings and Trust Co. will file
the bond suit, which will bring the
total of bond actions filed in Federal
and Circuit Courts on the bonds of
bankers to approximately $500 900.
Judge Cox, confident the suits will
be successful, said:
ct may be sometime before we
collect because of the possibility of
appeals but l feel certain that the
law in the bond cases will bear out
my contention that the bonds them
selves we're and have been, prior to
ny coming into office, the best as
sets of creditors of the defunct
banks"
Judge Lifts the Veil
Prior to his taking office, in
January, 1888. not one suit against
bankers bonds had been filed by
any of the receivers. Prior to his
tenure receivership reports we're few
and far between and defunct banks
were clothed in what Judge Cox has
termed "a veil of silence,

ers of the Washington Bank and
Trust Co., State Savings and Trust,
and City Trust Co. resigned.
Adults of the bank books were
ordered. Receivership reports we're
ordered to be given monthly.
100000 Actions Pending
Then suits on bonds began until
at the present time eight suits to-
falling $500 900 are pending in Fed

20, 400 Local Cars
 Checked; Stations
 Removal Uncertain
No Information From Headquarters Regarding Move ReCeived-NO Noticeable Lag in Machines Being
 Tested Daily Evident -MOst Autos Pass Exams

Reaching total of 20,400 in- dividual cars checked, the work of inspecting motor vehicles at the To- cal testing lane on Freight street today was believed to be rapidly nearing completion. Reports that the station was soon to be moved to another district were uncon- firmed. Inspector Thomas Lump kin, in charge of the Waterbury crew, said he had received no in- formation from Hartford headquar- ters in regard to the move and was unable to state definitely when the inspections would be concluded here.
 On the basis of cars registered in the Waterbury district however, it is apparent that the work is near ing the final stage. Approximate ly 22000 passenger vehicles are reg istered here, together with 8 few thousand commercial machines. MT. Lumpkin said cars were still being brought in for inspection daily, with no noticeable lag.
 Must Obey SummOnses
 Most of the motorists now ap- bearing are those responding to the summonses issued by the state de- partment. These mandatory mo- tices must be obeyed, the law pro- viding for revocation of registra- tion as a penalty for failure to sub- init vehicle for inspection. Traf- fic authorities throughout the state have been notified to request mo- torists for their inspection slips.
 Those who disregard the notices, according to 8 statement from the
