COMMITTEE TO WEIGH ASSETS i OF CITY TRUST Judge Chamberlin Defers Action on Receiver Pending Report. Naming of a committee to fix the appraised value of assets of the City Trust Company, closed voluntarily Oct. 23, confronted directors and interested parties today after Circuit Judge Harry O. Chamberlin deferred acting on a petition for appointment of a receiver^ The committee, to b;- named following conferences probably this rftcmoon between state officials, heads of the bank, and attorneys for depositors, will lay their findings before Chamberlin Nov. 20. Hearing evidence on the receivership petition Wednesday, Chamberlin indicated a liquidation of assets may fall to either a receiver of a liquidating agent. Witnesses said the institution's creditors, stockholders and depositors may not sustain heavy losses if ample time is allowed for the liquidation. Statement Is Bolstered This statement was bolstered by assertions of witnesses that the institution was not insolvent when it was closed. Lack of ready cash to pay operating expenses, due to heavy withdrawals. led to the closing, according to testimony. Names of William P. Flynn, chief examiner of the Indianapolis Clearing House Association, and Evans Woolen, president ot the Fletcher Savings and Trust Company, were suggested to Chamberlin as probable members of the appraisal committee. Dick Miller, president of the trust company, and Dwight A. Murphy, ■secretary, testified assets could be liquidated in such a manner as to pay depositors in full. State Bank Examiner Testifies* Miller urged the court to employ a receiver on a monthly salary basis, and to instruct the receiver to employ an attorney only when necessary. Samuel P. Good, state bank examiner in charge of the examination of the trust company’s books, testified assets were $2,400,904, and iiabilities $2,055,330. The difference of $345,573, based on book value of assets, is subject to depreciation, he said. Good declared business depression was responsible for the depreciation of values in bonds, stocks and mortgage assets. Good testified he examined the bank's books in June, and found them in the same condition as at the time of closing. He agreed the assets can be liquidate to pay depositors in full.

Murder Is Committed as Smart Set Plays Bridge F)UR women sit at a table, playing bridge. The hand is dealt and bid, the opening lead is made and the "dummy” lays down her hand and leaves the room. She never returns. While the hand Is being played she is murdered —shot through the back while she sits before a mirror in, her dressing room. This is the situation that confronts the reader in "Murder at Bridge." Anne Austin's thrilling new mystery story, which begins in The Times next Wednesday, Nov. 19. The hand was played at contract. Bridge fans will be interested in it entirely aside from its connection with the story. A little slam was made.

The players were not experts. They were members of a social briclge club which numbered good players and indifferent ones. From the standpoint of the expert, the hand was not correctly bid or played; yet the maximum was scored from it. Below are given the playing of the hand as the characters in "Murder at Bridge" played it. Criticism and analysis of it by a bridge expert, William E. McKenney, secretary of the American Bridge League, will appear Friday in The Times.

‘PROMISED LAND 1 SEARCH FUTILE; BACK TO CHINA 1 Woman Seeking to Evade Revolutions Runs Into One in Nicaragua. BY GEORGE D. CRISSEY United Press Staff Correspondent SAN FRANCISCO, Nov, 13.—A little Japanese steamer cleared through Golden Gate today, bearing Mrs. Annie Whittier, 50, toward her goal—a land of "honest revolutions." For twenty years Mrs. Whittier kept a hotel in Tientsin, China. As the seasons rolled by the sudden change from summer to winter and winter to summer, irked her. The turmoil of north China grew wearisome. The steady tramp of revolutionary armies by her door got on her nerves. She dreamed of a land w-here there isn’t at least one revolution per year. Visions came of the springtime poets sing about and of soft and fragrant summers. One day Mrs. Whittier packed up, bound for America with $12,000, her life saving, in a purse. A native of Rumania, she w-as not permitted to remain in the United States but that never wor-

Making her way to San Francisco, Mrs. Whittier arranged for economical transportation to the land where spring comes suddenly. So today a small Japanese vessel cleared from San Francisco, carrying the black-eyed Rumanian woman back to North China and there, she was start over again.
