STOCKHOLOERS WILL BE PAID , Judge Orders 60 Per Cent Payment To Berne Stockholders Judge Huber M. DeVoss today: in the Adams circuit court ordered a 60 per cent cash dividend paid to stockholders of the Peoples State Rank of Berne. This will represent a payment of approxi-; I mately $12,000. The bank has already paid out 100 cents on the dollar to de-, 1 positors. Vpon an Intervening petition of 107 pages filed by the sttM'k'holders. R. T. Krajner, special representative, was ordered to turn over the remaining assets of the bunk to trustees selected by stockholders. These are Fred Rohrer. Sam Nussbaum and L. L. Yager. These trustees are to receive the assets for the benefit of all share holdem and are to continue the iiquid&ion and make any further distribution to stockholders. The bank was capitalized for $60,000, The shares had a par value of SIOO each. Approximately $52,000 has been collected on the 100 per cent assessment levied against the shares. The dividend is a, refund on th« assessment made against the stockholders. The court order provides that those shareholders who have paid their assessments in full be refunded 60 per cent of the total amount paid by -them. The stockholders who have not paid their assessments in full shall be refunded those amounts, which they have paid above 40 per cent of the total amounts of stocks owned. The court order further provides that all interest collected on the assessments be paid to those stockholders who paid it. The aeiessments were made in February of 1933. On assessments not paid before July 4. 1935, interest of six per cent was charged. Remaining Assets The petition tiled today shows (OOjrnNt’HlD «■>*» ?AOW FIVE) DISTRIBUTION FIGURE LISTED County To Receive $85,655 From State Gross Income Tax Indianapolis. Sept. 9. — (Special) —Adams counly will receive $85.655 ot' gross income tax in 1937 for schools, old age pensions and ' assistance for the blind and dependent children, according to official estimates submitted today to Governor Paul V. McNutt. The total distribution to the county is divided as follows in the estimate: Schools $67,500 Pensions and assistance 18,155 Total $85,655 This distribution of gross income tax means that Adams county will receive from the state next year more money than the people of the county paid the state in gross income taxes for the 1936 fiscal year. As compared to the total distribution of $85,655, toffiT tax collections from the county were $68.177.68—a difference of $17,477.32 in the county's favor. Thus the money spent by residents of the county in larger cities and the money taken from the county by concerns with offices in other cities was returned in part to help pay the cost of government in the county. Money to be sent by the state would have to be raised by local property taxation if the ' : gross income tax wfere repealed. If the distribution next year were not made, an increase of thirty-eight cents in the average tax rate for the county would be necessary, according to present valuations. The governor, however, has obligated the administration to the full distribution and it will be made unless the gross income tax law is repealed. o Stetten Funeral Rites Held Today Funeral services were held this afternoon for Tobias Steffen, 73, p who died Sunday at hie home seven miles 'east of B'uffton .

In neither of the four states.' Arizona, Vermont. Washington, and Colorado, were issues of the national campaign clearly contested. Such a contest wa.s on today 1n Georgia where Democrats cast their ballots to decide between the leadership of fiery Gov. Eugene Talmadge, conservative anti-new deal Democrat, and Senator Richard B. Russell. Jr„ new deal stalwart, who seeks re-elec-tion. Issue Is Clear Atlanta, Ga.. Sept. 9 — (U.R) — Charges that Gov. Eugene Talmadge had mobilized national guardsmen for election duty in plain clothes and that adherent* of President Roosevelt had hired thugs to intimidate voters opened the Democratic primary today. The issue was clear—Talmadge | vs President Roosevelt—and authorities expected nearly 325,000 vot-. ere to express themselves on it. A riot occurred last night at ■ Gov. Talmadge's last rally at i Dalton. Unsympathetic members of his audience heckled him. A Talmadge follower knocked down one heckler and in a second fists and clubs were flying all around.

Preparations for the trip gave . I .andon little time today to celebrade his 49th birthday anniversary. I The decision, which he had con- i sidered for some time, but made after the proposal was pressed by > Republican strategists, suddenly changed what appeared a lull before ' his next speaking tour in the farm belt, into a campaign thrust replete with dramatic possibilities. “I am going to help rededicate that state to the good government ' for which it always stood and to ' participate in the first fighting repu- ' diation at the polls of the kind of government that this country has had for the last three years.” Gov.'

It did not appear that the rebels would have great difficulty in capturing it, giving them possession of the entire northeastern corner of the Bay of Biscay region and in a position to go to the aid of their comrades besieged in Oviedo.

Loyalists had penetrated into Huesca and the rebels retreated to fortified positions, to stand siege as they are i doing in other cities. The besieged rebels in the Alcazar at Toledo also held out, despite the ' heavy bombardment of the fori tress whicr has been going on for days. The loyajist forces at Talavera were faring and opened a .strong counter-offensive against the rebels.
