EXCEPTIONS TO BANK'S REPORT Protest Current Report Os Receiver For Bank Os Tocsin Bluffton, Mar. 21.—Exceptions to the fifth current report In the receivership of the'Bank of Tocsin,, a private bunk closed in 1924, huvo | been tiled In circuit court. The re port was lil.-u by Leo Yager, liquidating agent for tile Old Adams County hank of Decatur, which latter institution was appointed re-1 ceiver for the Tocsin banking house. One of the exceptions is based on the claim that the depositors of the bank, under the law governing private banks, are preferred creditors and hold a first lien against assets. Objection is made therefore to the payment iu full to the Old Adams County bank, the receiver, of the sum of 15.000 due that bank at the time the Tocsin bank dosed, along with interest at 1147, and the payment of $3,082 to the defunct Wells county bank of Bluffton, on its loan claim of 15,000. Each of these payments, it is alleged, is in violation of the law. Depositors, as a whole, it is averred, have been paid 50.5 per cent on their claims. It is recited that the receiver lias received heretofore an allowance of 13,500 for services, and objec 1 tions are made to allowance of an 1 additional claim for services in the I sum of 11,545, as it is recited that j II since the last report, six years ago, J| the receiver without litigation lias 11 collected 17.270 and wrote off as I uncollectible assets in the sum of ' $11,178.99, leaving assets now II chargeable in the sum of $37,081.60. [I At the time the bank closed, it is ' alleged, the receiver was intrust--1 ed with assets of approximately '| $150,000. while depositors’ claims 1 totaled approximately 1130,000. j , .—o—- — GROSS 1 CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE ' lax under the gross income tax 1 law has been .62 of l per cent.

"The play's the thing. Wherein I’ll cateh the conscience of the king." Which Is something else entirely. What French actor is furious at some practical joker who called up dozens of people and gave them an unauthorised invitation, in the actor’s iiamc, to attend a tea at a swank Beverly Hills hostelry? If she gets In an airplane wreck or something on the way cast. Margot Grahame won't tie a bit surprised. The English actress seems to have been selected as the special victim of bad news and misfortune. In the first place, she had lieen on the verge of illness from working for I 23 days in artificial fog for R-K-O's i picture. “The Informer”. As this long stretch neared Its •nd. there came a cable telling of the 1 serious illness of her busband, Francis Lister, in London. The actress went to the studio and requested a 24-day leave of alisencc, so she could rush to his side. She made plane reservations to leave, only to receive another cable from home, this time telling of ttie death of her brother in a motorcycle accident. Then, almost as she was getting on tile plane, the studio cancelled her 24-day leave and told her site must lie back In a week to go to work with Richard Dix. She flew on to New York anyway. Nest to Jack McDermott's weird house of gags, the oddest Hollywood menage is that of Erik Rhodes, the actor. Rhodes has a Chinese house servant.
