B. & L FRAUDS ALLEGED

A RKYBLATIO 15 AFFAIRS OF WASIUXGTOX ASSOCIATION, Report of State Auditor Expert Filed with a Petition for m Receiver. A receiver was yesterday akrd for the Washington Savings and Loan Association, of this city. The plaintiffs in the case are Lewis Brandenberg. Arthur C. Given, Frederick Axe, William Axe and John W. Walker. The latter is a resident of Indianapolls. Brandenberg and Given live at Albany, Ind., and Frederick and William Axe reside at Portland. On Feb. 7, the Washington associa tion absorbed the Equitable State Building and Loan Association and the Commercial Building and Loan Association, both of thl3 city, and the consolidated associations have since that date been known as the Washington Savings and Loan Association. Stock In all three associations is represented by tho plaintiffs, who have given notice of withdrawal dating back as far as June, 1R0S, but none of which stock has been paid for up to date. On March 7, the association went Into voluntary liquidation, and at that time the liabilities exceeded the assets by I23,1M.52. If all assets, as then given, were worth their face value, there would be a loss of about &) per cent, to the stockholders. The expert examination of the affairs of the association, as made by the auditor of state's department within the past two weeks, shows that the stockholders will probably not realize 50 cents on the dollar. -The auditor of state recommended that a receiver be appointed, and his recom mendation was filed with the petition yesterday. The financial condition of the association at the time It went into voluntary liquidation was as follows: Liatilltles. Bunning or Installment stock $32,403.A4 Paid up stock k,9jO.0i Prepaid stock 63. 650.22 Bills payable 7.6M.O) People's B. & Lv Ass'n, Bluflton.... 465.W Total J103.U2.92 Assets.

Hall 111.95 Harvey D. Vorles 87 .00 Office furniture loo.oo Total .$73,972.40 IRBEGULABITIES CHARGED. A large number of irregular transactions is charged In the petition. Among these it Is claimed that a note of $3,100 was given last December to the Capital National Bank by the association for the purpose of raising money to pay John W. Hall and Charles F. Coffin the withdrawal value of their stock and to cancel their certificates. The petition states that at that time there was not sufficient money in the treasury to pay these withdrawals, and his note was signed by the officers and directors. It is charged that the money so raised was so applied, and that after the transaction was completed John W. Hall, who was secretary of the association, negotiated the management of the business to H. F, Hackedorn for a valuable consideration. On Jan. 7, last, the board of directors was reorganized, Hackedorn was made vice-president and manager and Hall retired from the management of the association. The complaint says that not all of the directors are bonafido stockholders and that the organization and management is controlled exclusively by Hackedorn, while the ostensible secretary is a young lady stenographer, Florence M. Warner. It is stated that Hall was an officer or director in each and all of the associations which were absorbed by the Washington and has managed and directed a largo part of the business of the association. "Many of the acts of Halll." says the petition, "were Illegal and fraudulent and brought loss to the association." In December. 1S97. Hall was treasurer of the Commercial Building & Loan Association and was the owner of a large number of lots in Redkey. A loan of $."..000 was made on these lots and the petition claims they were not at that time worth more than $1,000. The manner in which this loan was negotiated is thus stated in the report of the expert to the auditor of the 6tate: "The records of the association show some peculiar transactions on the part of the directors of the associations making up the consolidation. On Dec. 30. 1S97, Daniel Yost executed a mortgage to the Commercial Building and Loan Association on eightyeight lots In Hall's addition to the town of Redkey, Ind., to secure a loan of $5,000. The application for this loan was only partially filled out and was not sworn to, neither was the appraisement, which was made by S. K. Thomas, the then secretary of the association. The mortgageor did not secure title to said lots from John W. Hall, the treasurer of the association, until Dec. 2S, l8t7. yet a check for the amount of the loan was drawn on Dec. 22, and the stub contained the following memorandum: 'Check to be returned and prepaid stock certificate Issued therefor.' The stub of the prepaid stock certificate book shows that, on Dec. 24. certificates were issued to John W. Hall, aggregating $5,000. On May 27. 1899, Yost conveyed these lots to the Washington Savings and Ioan Association without ever having paid any Interest or any part of the dues owing by him." ON GROUND OF LITTLE VALUE. Another transaction set forth was a loan to M. L Scheidler on thirty-three lots In th same addition by the Equitable State Building and Loan Association. This loan was made Oct. 23, 1897, and amounted to $2,500. The petitioners charge that the value of these lots at that, time was not more, than $50"). This transaction, as given by the expert's report, was as follows: "On Oct. 23. 1S97. M. L. Scheidler mortgaged thirty-three lots in the same addition to he Kquttable State Building and Loan Association to secure a loan of $2,500. The application in this case was not sworn to and no appraisement was made. According to the abstract the title of these lots was In John W. Hall at the date of the execution of the mortgage, and I could find no evidence that he has ever conveyed said lota to the mortgajreor. Scheidler conveyed this land to the Washington Savings and Ioan Association May 12, 198, without ever having made any payment of interest or dues. "Three checks were issued In payment of this loan, one dated 1S97. payable to M. L. Scheidler. Thi was Indorsed by M. I Scheidler, Thomas Hall and Emily Hall, John W. Hall, secretary of the Washington Savings and Ixan Association. S. E. Thomas, secretary. The cash book shows, ur.der date of Feb, 5. 1S97. that real estate loans were charged with $2,000 and prepaid stock, certificate No. 150 to Thomas and Emily Hall, ciedlted with like amount. This stock and that Issued to John W. Hall, referred to above In the case of the loan to Daniel Yost, has since been withdrawn. These withdrawals were paid out In their order, and in the stock held by John W. Hall I can find no notice of withdrawal on file. The association will suffer a large loss on account of these loans." Referring to the charges of irregular withdrawals of stock by the officers, the petition says that after notices of withdrawal were given by the plaintiffs in this suit "certain officers and directors of the defendant namely, John W. Hall. W. F. Churchman. George C. Calvert and others caused a large amount of prepaid and paid-up stock owned and held by themselves to be withdrawn, taken up and paid out of the assets of the defendant, and such certificates of stock owned by them to be canceled, and that said payments were made and stock canceled, all without notice of withdrawal to said association, as required by the bylaws of said association and to the detriment and prejudice of the pUlntlffs: that at the time of said wrongful payments out of their turn and without notice s?!d association was insolvent and known by said officers to be insolvent, and that suld officers declared their intention to secure themselves anl retire from said association." On the point of withdrawn ptock the re port of the expert says: ISSUED WITHOUT CONSIDERATION. "Another irregular transaction in the management of the association was In Issuing, a few weeks before the consolidation of the Commercial Building and Loan Association with the Washington Building and Loan Association, of eighteen shares of the prepaid stock of the former to John W. Hall and like number of shares to Charles. F. Coffin. The stub of th check-bock of the Commercial Euildini and Loan Association

shows that on Dec. 24, 1S)7, checks ST3 and $96. for $T00 each, were issued to said partie, and the following memorandum in on each stub, 'Bonus paid Equitable State Building and Loan Association. It Is evident that this stock was issued without consideration to the association and became an excense to the other members. The stock issued to Hall has been withdrawn, but that issued to Coffin still appears as a liability of the consolidated associations. These parties were both officers in the Washington Saving and Loan Association. 1 also call your attention to the schedule of bills payable filed with the report of the examiners, a copy of which Is attached hereto. You will observe that these notes were mostly given to pay withdrawals. The note to the Capital National Bank of $3,100 was given to satisfy withdrawals of stock held by Hall and Coffin, and the one of $1.0o0, to Gc-orge C. Calvert, to satisfy withdrawal of his stock. These parties were directors In the association, and I find no notice of withdrawal of this stock on the withdrawal book of the association, and they were paid when withdraw 1 notices filed months before remained unpaid." It is claimed in the petition that among the liabilities of the association are the following: Oct. 29, 189$. Crescent Loan and Investment Companv, GO days, 8 per cent $1,000 Doc. 25. im. Capital National Bank, note. CO days. 8 per cent., to satisfy withdrawal value of certificate No. 425. Balance of certificate No. CD, 11.031 3,100 Dec. 28, 1S38. W. F.

The petition states that numerous other frauds have been perpetrated by the managers and It Is suggested that immediate steps should be taken to reimburse the association, to prevent the payment of Illegally Issued stock and illegally issued notes and other obligations. The plaintiffs sk that all payments of money on withdrawals made out of their turn and without notice should be repaid by the association and that these shareholders should be compelled to prorate with existing shareholders. They further ask that suit be brought to recover the amount of the loss resulting from the illegal and fraudulent transfers of real estate In Redkey and the Issuance of stock to Hall In payment for it. "The present officers and directors." the petition charges, "have full knowledge of the irregular and illegal transactions charged, and have known of it since their term of office began, but have utterly failed and refused to correct the wrong." If the present management shrfuld continue, the plaintiffs say, they would suffer great losses, in that the assets will be greatly decreased or will be lost to the association "by reason of the neglect and incompetency and mismanagement of the defendant officers and directors." m , The local attorneys in the case are Noel & Lahr. but a number of attorneys from the northern part of the State are associated with them. The hearing has been set for Monday. May 15. Mr. Hackedorn rienl that theOtssodatlon has been transferred to him. So far as the present officers are concerned, the report of the expert says: "What has been said In criticism of the officers and directors of this association does not apply to those now managing its affairs. They did not assume such management until Jan. 7. of this year, and all the transactions referred to took place prior to that date." The" Washington Association was Incorporated March 24. 1S96, with a capital stock of $1,000,000. The original officers were Charles F. Headlngton, president, who was later succeeded by J. J. M. La Follette; C. F. Coffin, vice president and attorney; John W. Hall, secretary: George Benedict, treasurer. These officers, with E. R. Wiles, constituted the directors. The officers for 1S07 were J. J. M. La Follette, president: John W. Hall, secretary and treasurer; Charles P. Coffin, attorney. These officers, with George Benedict and E. R. Wiles, weie the directors For 1S9S the officers were Samuel W. Wiles, president and treasurer; John W. Hall, secretary: E. M. Welker. attorney, and these, with Will R. White, were the directors. After the consolidation the officers were Louis H. Renkert. president; J. J. M. La Follette, vice president; John W. Hall, treasurer; S. E. Thomas, secretary; Means & Buentlng. attorneys. The present officers are Wlllard W. Hubbard, president; HUUs F. Hackedorn, secretary; William F. Churchman, treasurer. A great deal of the money has been paid Into the association from outside the city and a large portion of the loans made was outside of Indianapolis. PETITIONS IN BANKRUPTCY.

SHOOTING IN THE GALLERY. A Youth Experiments with Ills Revolver at the Park. There was a little shooting at the Park Theater last night at the end of the third act of "Tennessee's Pardner" which was not on the bill, and in which blank cartridges were not used. The shooting occurred In the lower gallery and was done by a young man who gave hla name as Henry Wilson. One shot was fired from a "Young America" revolver, 33 calibre, and the bullet went through Wilson's left hand and burled Itself in the foot board. The young man fainted and had to be carried down. Considerable excitement was occasioned in the gallery, but spectators In other parts of the house knew little of what happened, and were not much disturbed. ExCaptain Campbell, the theater policeman, heard the report and thought some one had stepped on a match, until told of the shooting. Wilson was taken out and placed in charge of Patrolmen Rockafellow and Hoffbauer, who sent him to the station under arrest for carrying1 concealed weapons. Wilson claims he did not have the pistol when he went to the theater, but traded with a young man who sat next to him, giving a $1 watch for it. .He said he did not know the weapon was loaded, and was simply looking at it. Some of the boys near by said he was showing how he had killed a dog In the afternoon. Wilson was seated In the front row cf the gallery and was holding the revolver down in order to keep it out of sight, which probably was most fortunate, as had the bullet passed over the foot board it would have gone among the audience below. Dr. Christian, the police surgeon, dressed Wilson's wound. THE DOCTOR'S CERTIFICATE Apparently of Xo Value in This Truancy Case. David S. Rlfer, No. 543 Dorman street, answered In Justice Hav's Court, yesterday, to two charges made by the truancy officer for not sending his two daughters, Agnes and Mabel, to school. On one charge, the finding was for Rifer. On the other, a fine was imposed. In defense the defendant introduced a certificate, signed by a physician, saying that the girl was unable to attend school and that she was under his care receiving "rigid treatment." It was shown that at the time this certificate was signed and for two weeks prior and subsequent to that date, the girl was regularly working In one of the dry goods stores of the city. The doctor, who was present and testified, received a severe rebuke from the justice for making such certificates. Incorporated.

Catarrh of the stomach has long been considered the next thing to Incurable. The usual symptoms are a full or bloating sensation after eating, accompanied with sour or watery risings, a formation of gases causing a pressure on the heart and lunr. and difficult breathing; headaches, ficklo appetite, nervousness and a general played out, languid feeling. There is often a foul taste In ;he mouth, coated tongue, and If the interior of the stomach could be seen It would show a slimy, inflamed condition. The cure for this common and obstinate trouble Is found in a treatment which causs the food to be readily, thoroughly digested before It has time to ferment and Irritate the delicate mucous surface of the stomach. To secure prompt and healthy digestion is the one necessary thing to do, and when normal digestion Is. secured the catarrhal condition will have disappeared. According to Dr. Harlanson, the safest and best treatment Is to use after each meal a tablet, composed of Diastase, Aseptic, Pepsin, a little Nux, Golden Seal and fruit acids. These tablets can now be found at all drug stores under the name of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, and, not being a patent medicine, can be used with perfect safety and assurance that healthy appetite will follow their regular use after meals. Mr. N. J. Booher, of 2710 Dearborn street. Chicago. III., says: "Catarrh is a local condition resulting from a neglected cold in the head, whereby the lining membrane of tho ncse becomes inflamed and the poisonous discharge therefrom passing backward Into tho throat reaches the stomach, thus producing catarrh of the stomach. Medical authorities prescribed for me for three years for catarrh of the stomach without cure, but to-day I am the happiest of men alter using only one box of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. 1 cannot find appropriate words o express my good feeling. I have flesh, appetite and sound rest from their use. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets is the safest as well as the simplest and most convenient remedy for any form of indigestion, catarrh of the stomach, biliousness, sour stomach. heartburn and bloating after meals. Send for little book, mailed free, on stomach troubles, by addressing F. a. Stuart Co.,- Marshall, Mich. The tablets can be found at all druj stores.
