BANK PAYOFFS
HIT BY RULING

Liquidation Of five national
banks, including two closed Dis
trict institutions, became further
involved yesterday when Judge
John M. Woolsey in United States
District Court in New York. dis
missed suits of receivers against
the Chase National Bank to re-
cover $6,051,771.49.
The local banks are District
National and Commercial Ma
tional, both of which were closed
after the moratorium of 1888.
They had placed bonds with sew
eral governmental agencies as col
lateral to secure full payment of
deposits and the courts later held
that such pledging of collateral
was illegal since the agencies we're
not entitled to preferential pay
ment.
Bureau of Insular Affairs, on
behalf of the Philippine Islands,
was the principal agency involved
in the present suits. The bureau
had sold the banks BONDS to the
Chase National Bank and the re-
ceivers Of the banks were attempt
ing to obtain their return.
Treasury counsel have not yet
decided whether to appeal from
Judge Woolsey's ruling.
