REPORT
OF THE
COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY
TREASURY DEPARTMENT,
OFFICE OF THE COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY,
Washington, December lf 1980,
SIR: I have the honor to submit the following annual report in
accordance with the provisions of section 333 of the United States
Revised Statutes, covering activities of the Currency Bureau, in
the year ended October 31, 1930. This is the sixty-eighth report
made to the Congress since the organization of the bureau,
LEGISLATION RECOMMENDED
Amendments to the national bank act
Since the publication of my 1929 annual report the subject of
branch, group, and chain banking has received considerable attention.
Bankers and their associations, both national and State, the press,
and the public generally have evidenced an interest in the subject
to a greater degree than ever before. This interest has been due
largely to the increasing number of country bank failures and the
changing conditions which have brought hitherto isolated rural districts into closer touch with the commercial centers. These developments were also important factors in prompting my suggestions to
the Seventy-first Congress that section 5155 of the Revised Statutes
of the United States be amended to permit national banks, with the
approval of the Comptroller of the Currency, to establish branches
within the regional trade areas of the commercial centers in which
they operate.
At the last session of Congress the Banking and Currency Committee of the. House of Representatives, under authority of House
Resolution 141, conducted extended hearings on the subject of branch,
group, and chain banking. During the course of these hearings
there appeared before the committee a number of prominent Government officials, bankers, and others, representing unit as well as the
different forms of so-called multiple banking in many sections of the
country. They testified from experience in their respective spheres,
and through their testimony the committee was placed in possession
of a fund of first hand and valuable information. At this date the
committee has not rendered its report. Nothing, however, materialized during these hearings nor has anything arisen since to justify
any change in my attitude. Developments of the last year have,
on the contrary, strengthened my belief that the type of branch
2
"REPORT OF THE COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY
banking put forward by me is sound and that such an amendment
to the law should be enacted.
Failures have not abated. During the fiscal year ended June 30,
1930, there were 640 failures, 82 of which were national banks and
558 State banks, as compared to a total of 549 failures during the
fiscal year ended June 30, 1929, comprising 69 national banks and 480
State banks.
An analysis of the bank failures for the current year shows that
the trend toward the gradual elimination of small country banks in
the agricultural sections, which has been prevalent during the past
decade, is still very pronounced.
Nearly 96 per cent of these failures occurred in the agricultural
States of the South, Middle West, and West, while in the more densely
populated industrial areas of New England and the Eastern and Pacific
Coast States, where a greater diversification of business is possible,
the number of failures has been negligible.
In only one section of the country (the Western States) did the
total number of bank failures for the fiscal year 1930 fall below that
of the preceding fiscal year. In that section 163 banks failed during
the fiscal year 1930 as compared to 183 during 1929. This exception
was, however, due solely to the situation in Nebraska, where, following the collapse of the guaranty of deposits law, 106 State banks
closed their doors during the fiscal year of 1929, while only 50 failed
during the comparable period of 1930.
Illinois, a State wherein antibranch-banking sentiment is quite
pronounced, suffered a striking increase in bank failures during the
past year. During the fiscal year 1929 only 8 State banks and
1 national bank in Illinois closed their doors, while in 1930 no less
than 42 State-chartered institutions and 11 national associations, a
total of 53, were placed in receivership.
Other States contributing largely to the increase in bank failures
during the last fiscal year were Alabama, with only 5 failures in 1929
and 25 in 1930; Oklahoma, also with 5 failures in 1929 and 26 in 1930;
and Missouri, with 19 failures in 1929 compared to 50 in 1930. In
each of these States, following the general trend for the entire country,
the great bulk of the failures was made up of banks with limited capital,
located in communities of the type which, in my opinion, can be
adequately served only by branches of the larger banks in the nearest
large commercial centers.
Since I have discussed the subject of bank failures at some length
in previous public utterances and in my annual report to Congress
for 1929, I shall ask your further indulgence on this occasion merely
to point out that the failure of about 5,600 banks in the past 10 years,
tying up deposits of nearly $2,000,000,000, constitutes one of the
main factors responsible for the crystallization of a strong sentiment
in favor of some change in our banking structure which will bring
to our rural districts, where more than four-fifths of these failures
have occurred, the benefits and protection of the strong well-managed
banks now operating in our commercial centers. It should not be
overlooked that those who have suffered most in these failures were
persons of small means—country business men, farmers, and savings
depositors in farming communities. That remedial legislation along
this line is of great present importance is strikingly emphasized by
the latest figures available, which show that up to October 31 of this
REPORT OF THE COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY
3
year no less than 742 banks, with deposits of about $300,000,000,
have closed their doors, as compared to a total of 522 suspensions,
with deposits of $200,000,000, during the same period last year.
In the absence of legislation permitting the extension of branch
banking facilities to these rural communities, a type of multiple
banking called group banking, practically unknown at the time of
the enactment of the McFadden bill, has been evolved. That the
development of group banking has been remarkably rapid during the
past two years is attested by the fact that on June 30, 1930, there
were in existence in this country 289 group and chain banking organizations, controlling 2,144 banks, with loans and investments of approximately $12,000,000,000, or nearly 21 per cent of the total loans
and investments of all the banks in the country.
In not a few instances a highly constructive service has been rendered by group systems in taking over smaller banks which have
found themselves in a position where they could no longer function
profitably or safely under the conditions with which they were confronted. However, it is a rather significant fact that both group and
chain banking have had their greatest development in the States
where branch banking is prohibited. A recent survey discloses that
in the 9 States and the District of Columbia, wherein state-wide
branch banking is permitted, there were 86 banks in group and chain
systems and 847 branches located outside of the head office cities,
besides 461 branches located in head office cities. In the 22 States
in which state-wide branch banking is prohibited, however, there
were 1,242 banks in group and chain systems. In these 22 States
there were 25 branches located outside of the head office cities and
27 in head office cities, all of which were established prior to prohibitory legislation.
A highly important advantage possessed by branch banking over
group banking is the adaptability of the former system for extension
into the most remote hamlets, while, generally speaking, group banking facilities are enjoyed only by those communities which are able
to support a well-managed independent bank. My observation ha3
been that group banking, instead of alleviating the rural banking
situation, has as a rule taken over only the stronger local banks in
prosperous communities, leaving the weaker institutions struggling
for a meager existence. Failures of these weaker banks have left
many communities wholly without local banking facilities, which,
however, could readily be supplied by branches of the larger city
banks, with but a minimum of overhead expense to the latter
institutions.
It does not seem desirable to give sufficiently broad branch banking
powers to national banks to enable them to embrace in a single branch
system the entire geographical area now embraced by several of the
larger group bank systems. Group banking in the main is in capable
hands, and includes some of the best-managed banks in the country.
However, the field of group banking is now open to every type of
operator or promoter who may be able to purchase bank stocks.
This constitutes a source of potential danger. In order to facilitate
the supervision of group banking, in those cases where the Federal
Government has any responsibility, it is my view that no national
bank should be permitted to become a constituent of such a group,
except upon the condition that all other banks in the group are also
4
REPORT OF THE COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY
national banks. The Comptroller of the Currency under these conditions could more effectively examine and supervise the entire group
operations. It is therefore my view that group banking should be
brought under the visitorial powers of the Federal Government in
those cases where membership in the group is composed in whole or
in part of national or State member banks of the Federal reserve
system. Legislation along these lines seems to^be necessary in the
public interest.
With reference to my recommendation that national banks situated
in important commercial cities be permitted to extend branch banking
facilities into the trade area of such cities, it has been suggested that
any such national legislation would give to national banks an advantage over State chartered institutions in those cities, the trade areas
of which embrace territory in more than one State. There are many
such cities in the United States. The proposal has, therefore, been
made that national banks be given only those branch banking powers
which the State legislatures can give to State banks. Such a procedure would seem to be an abdication of a national branch banking
policy in favor of the policies of the various States and is open to two
serious objections, one economic and the other constitutional.
The theory of trade area branch banking rests upon economic
grounds. Its aim is to permit strong city banks to carry their banking facilities to the community surrounding such city to a distance
which is governed by the predominant flow of business and trade to
and from the city as a trade center. It is designed to give to the
rural communities, which have for years been suffering from a lack
of safe and adequate banking facilities, the high type of banking and
the security from bank failures which residents of the large cities have
generally enjoyed. If Congress therefore adopts the policy of withholding from national banks the power to cross State lines with
branches in those cases where the trade area of the city clearly does
cross the State line, the whole theory and plan of establishing in the
rural communities a well-rounded and sound branch banking system
is broken down.
The State policy theory is objectionable upon the constitutional
ground that Congress alone is responsible for the establishment and
maintenance of the system of national banks as an instrumentality
of the Federal Government. These banks were established purely in
the exercise of the legislative power of Congress and solely upon a
national policy. It gave to the United States a uniform system of
banking beyond the control of the States.
It is not a valid objection to the national legislation here proposed
that Congress would be conferring upon national banks banking
powers more extensive than those which lay within the power of the
State legislatures to give to State banks. For many years we have
witnessed what may be regarded as the reverse of this situation.
While Congress has at all times had the constitutional power to give
to the national banks charter advantages which could not be acquired
by State banks, it has nevertheless been extremely reluctant to exercise this power, although to do so in the manner herein recommended
would strengthen our whole banking structure. On the other hand,
however, State legislatures have conferred upon State chartered institutions, particularly upon trust companies, banking powers which
national banks did not at the time enjoy. As a consequence, the
REPORT OF THE COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY
5
national banking system has within recent years declined in size,
importance, and influence and has become thereby relatively less
effective as an instrumentality of the Federal Government. Through
the diversion of commercial banking from the national to the various
State banking systems, Congress has lost control over the major portion of the commercial banking resources in the United States.
Upon the enactment of the McFadden bill the conversion into
national banks of several larger State branch banking institutions
and the consolidation of several State banks with national banks under
the national charter gave rise to the hope that the national banking
system would reclaim the most important banks which had left it
to operate under State charters. However, this hope was short
lived, for there soon followed through State legislative or State judicial
action new advantages for State banks, particularly with respect to
the operation of the trust business and desertions from the national
charter in favor of those offered by the States began to increase.
That the disparity between the two systems of banks is pronounced
is evidenced by the fact that whereas in 1886 the national banks held
75 per cent of the total commercial banking resources of the country,
the latest compiled figures indicate that this proportion has now
shrunk to less than 40 per cent.
Any advantage therefore which might accrue to the national
banking system through trade-area branch banking around those
cities situated near State boundary lines could fittingly be taken by
Congress as an opportunity to strengthen its control over a nationwide system of commercial banking such as was established under the
original national bank act.
In view of the foregoing considerations, it is recommended that the
act of February 25, 1927, otherwise known as the McFadden Act,
be amended to incorporate the following banking policy:
(1) That a committee composed of the Secretary of the Treasury,
the Governor of the Federal Reserve Board, and the Comptroller of
the Currency be authorized to select the various cities which are
commercial centers in the United States and to map out their trade
areas.
(2) That the term "trade area" be defined to embrace the regional
flow of business and trade to and from such cities and that State
boundary lines be not considered in determining the territorial limits
thereof.
(3) That national banks situated in such cities be permitted, with
the approval of the Comptroller of the Currency, to establish branches
within the limits of such regional trade areas.
(4) That the paid-in capital stock of such a national bank shall be
not less than $1,000,000 and that the ratio of capital and surplus to
deposits shall be maintained at not less than 1 to 10. The
Comptroller of the Currency would in his discretion require a larger
capitalization.
(5) That the national bank consolidation act be amended so as to
permit any banks situated within the trade area to consolidate, with
the approval of the Comptroller of the Currency, under the national
charter, but the Comptroller of the Currency should be specifically
empowered to disapprove any such consolidation upon the ground
that it might result in an undue concentration of banking capital
within the trade area.
6
REPORT OF THE COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY
(6) That there be conferred upon the Comptroller of the Currency
such visitorial powers as may enable him to examine into the affairs
of any corporation which owns or controls the majority of the stock
of any national bank.
(7) That no corporation be permitted to own the majority of the
stock of any national bank if it at the same time owns the majority
of the stock of a State bank.
(8) That no national bank be permitted to make a loan upon the
security of the stock of a corporation which may own the majority
of the stock of such national bank.
During the past 12 months I have discussed at length the question
of the trade area as the logical basis for the development of branch
banking in the rural communities. Particularly at my appearance
before the House Committee on Banking and Currency last spring
detailed consideration was given to many aspects of the trade area
in connection with the question of the extension of the branch banking
powers of the national banks. It may be desirable at this time to
summarize these discussions.
In defining the trade area it is essential that we keep in mind the
chief purpose of proposed amendments to the national bank act with
respect to the establishment of branches. It is not the primary consideration that the large city bank should be placed in a position
further to develop its business with attendant greater profits and
wider influence notwithstanding this would and should follow, as a
matter of course, through the extension of branches to the rural sections tributary to the city in which it is located. The primary
purpose is the strengthening of rural banking itself through the
influence of strongly capitalized and well-managed city banks of
which the rural bank might become an integral part. It is, therefore,
necessary to consider the trade-are a question from the point of view
of the rural-bank situation rather than from that of the city bank.
The difficulty in defining a trade area in the abstract is well recognized. The subject has been studied by experts in many phases.
The country has been laid out into trade areas from the standpoint
of the manufacturers of nationally advertised commodities, the
manufacturers of more localized products, wholesale distributors,
retailers and newspaper circulation. The present problem deals
with a different type of trade area—one which requires that the
viewpoint be taken from the rim of the area rather than from the hub.
The aim is the establishment in the rural communities of a sound
system of banking which will give to the country depositor a reasonable assurance of safety and will offer to those requiring banking accommodation more adequate facilities than is at present available
to them. Those requirements can be met only through the establishment of branches by city banks into the surrounding communities which have access to such a city as their principal market and
financial center. It is this surrounding area which I have termed the
regional trade area. It is the zone of the city's predominant economic
influence in the sense that in that zone the city is both the trade and
credit center.
There can be no formula which would determine in advance the
exact size of any such trade area, but as has been frequently pointed
out there is one economic principle of fundamental and controlling
significance. Every city which may be selected as the center of a
REPORT OF THE COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY
7
trade area must be of such importance as a trade center for the surrounding geographical territory as to draw to it a volume and a
diversity of trade sufficient to form the potential basis for a wellbalanced branch banking system. This is what I have termed the
requirement for economic diversification. By this it is meant that
the loans made by the bank to its customers in the trade area must
rest upon the security of a wide range of business enterprises and
industrial pursuits. The bank should be able to draw its business
from the production of natural resources, agriculture, livestock, manufacturing, transportation by land and water, distribution, and communication. In each of these activities there would be further
subdivisions of diversification as, for example, the production of natural resources would include the various types of mining, oil, gas,
timber, hydroelectric power and so on. The essential weakness of
rural banking as we now have it lies in the danger of its complete
dependence upon just one such economic activity. By virtue of
the small geographical area of its operations its loans rest principally
upon one type of security. There is an insufficient economic diversification of its loan portfolio. This objective can be attained in a
branch system of banking which taps a number of different types of
security.
It has been suggested that proper diversification can be obtained
through the purchase of investment securities on the general market.
This procedure faces two obstacles. It presupposes a technical equipment which the rural bank does not possess and it would draw the
funds of the bank in too great a proportion away from the local field
of the bank's operations to the detriment of its legitimate borrowers.
In some sections of the country where industrial activity is concentrated and where the population is dense there are offered a number
of different economic pursuits of relative independence, the one of the
other. In such a case the physical extent of the trade area of a commercial center may be small as compared with another city in the
more sparsely settled sections of the country where a greater territory
may have to be embraced in order to gain the required diversification.
Every city indeed, no matter how small, has a regional or local trade
area but every such trade area would not be a suitable field for branch
banking. Under the plan herein recommended it would be necessary
for the committee proceeding under a general authority from Congress
to select those cities the trade areas of which meet the requirements
for economic diversification. In this respect the committee would be
dealing with an economic situation very much similar to that presented to the committee which under similar authority laid out the
Federal reserve districts. The Federal reserve districts vary in size
according to the density of population and the physical concentration of commercial and business activity.
It will be recalled that Congress designated the Secretary of the
Treasury, the Secretary of Agriculture, and the Comptroller of the
Currency as a committee to lay out the Federal reserve districts
under instructions to have "due regard to the convenience and
customary course of business and shall not necessarily be coterminous
with any State or States. The districts thus created may be
readjusted and new districts may from time to time be created by
the Federal Reserve Board, not to exceed twelve in all." This committee experienced no great difficulty in carrying out these instruc-
22439°—31

REPORT OF THE COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY
tions of Congress, There appears no reason to doubt the ability of a
similar committee, such as I have recommended, to map out the
trade areas aroimd the principal cities in the United States.
These trade areas might be termed regional economic or trade
zones to distinguish them from the wider geographical area with which
the business enterprises of such city have contact. Banks and
business generally in every large city may from time to time have
trade relations and business transactions extending to every part of
the country and indeed over the whole world. In contrast to this
wider field there is an immediate geographical territory surrounding
every large city and reaching out into the outlying rural communities,
a definite area which can be determined by boundary lines embracing
a population having customary access to such a city as the principal
market.
Such a trade area might in some cases overlap an adjacent trade
area of another commercial center. If upon a determination of fact
it be found that the business of a given community flows in substantial
volume to more than one city as a financial and business center, it
might be found desirable to put such a community in more than one
trade area. It would seem sound to permit the establishment of
branches to follow the natural flow of regional commerce and trade*
and cases of such overlapping would simply mean that a few communities might have branches emanating from more than one trade
area center.
As contrasted with the proposal for county-wide branch banking,
trade-area branch banking would follow economic rather than political
boundary lines. County-wide branch banking could never form a
sound economic basis for a national policy in banking. The county
seat is often not the most important city in the county and in many
cases it is more convenient for trade to flow to an adjoining county.
In a few cases it might be found that the county seat is in fact an
important center of trade but in such cases it will ordinarily have a
stronger trade influence in the adjoining counties than any city
situated within them. County-wide branch banking would force
banking into artificial channels and would be economically unsound
in those cases where the parent bank was of insufficient size to offer
adequate banking facilities and safety to depositors or was situated
in a county which did not permit of a diversification in the banking
business available to it.
There seems, therefore, no escape from the conclusion that rural
branch banking, in order to offer an improvement over the present
system of rural banking, must proceed from a parent bank situated
in a city of sufficient economic importance to sustain, by virtue of
the commerce and trade within it and its surrounding economic
zone, a well-managed bank of not less than $1,000,000 capital.
The suggestion for State-wide branch banking appears also economically unsound as the basis for a national policy. In many States
there may be found cities whose regional trade areas are embraced
within the boundary lines of the State. On the other hand, however, there will be found a great number of important cities situated
in such close proximity to State boundary lines that a prohibition
against crossing the State line would result in a one-sided branchbanking system for the banks in such a city. The trade area here
under discussion ia a geographical area for banking purposes. It
REPORT OF THE COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY

has no direct political significance. Business and industry pay no
heed to State lines in the use of banking facilities. The normal
business of a bank in a city situated near the boundary line of more
than one State flows over such lines in response to the impulse of
convenient communication and transportation. Depositors and
borrowers in one State have no prejudices in crossing over the State
lines to gain access to their bank. To deny such a bank, under
these circumstances, the power to establish branches to meet the
convenience of its customers across State lines while at the same
time permitting it to establish branches in another direction into the
territory of an entire State—in many cases extending far beyond its
normal trade area—would set up a system of branch banking under
national authority which would appear unworkable and indefensible.
In the consideration of the type or size of a city which would be
chosen as the center of a trade area adequate for branch banking
purposes, regard must be had for the general banking situation
in any given community. If the city be important enough to have
strong, successful national banks and is surrounded by a community
haying a number of country banks whose principal bank correspondent
is in such a city, that city might be made the center of a regional
trade area. In many such cases the geographical area involved
might be not only less than that of a Federal reserve district but less
in area than the State in which the city is situated. There may be
found a sufficient economic justification for several trade areas
whose principal territory is within a single State. Having regard
for the situation that branch banking by national banks began with
the branch banking limited to the city in which the bank is situated,
it would seem the logical economic development to permit a natural
growth of these branch-banking systems into the territory where
their influence in banking is predominant rather than to proceed
solely from the greatest metropolitan centers of the country, which
would give to relatively a few great metropolitan banks the exclusive
privilege of branch banking in the country districts and lesser cities.
It would be highly desirable to preserve as much as possible the
element of local autonomy in the establishment of trade areas provided the areas are not so small as to sacrifice the principle of economic
diversification.
It is not meant to imply that trade area branch banking should be
confined to those States in which branch banking by national banks
is now permitted within the city limits. The new policy of branch
banking should be uniform in its operation throughout the nation,
thereby giving to every rural community an opportunity of access to
strong city banking facilities under national supervision and control.
It may, therefore, be said that the following elements contribute to
the definition of trade area branch banking:
(1) The principal objective is to strengthen banking operations in
the rural communities.
(2) A secondary but not less positive result would be a strengthening of the entire banking structure of the country.
(3) The surrounding geographical territory economically tributary
to a city and for which such city provides the chief market and financial center, may be described as its trade area.
(4) Every city may be said to have a trade area but not every trade
area is suitable for branch banking purposes.
10
REPORT OF THE COMPTROLLER. OF THE CURRENCY
(5) In order to lay the basis for a sound system of branch banking
a trade area should embrace within its physical limits a diversification
of economic activities in order that a bank operating branches throughout its extent may also acquire a diversification in the security for its
loans.
(6) For branch banking purposes, therefore, only those trade areas
should be chosen which surround cities important enough to be the
commercial center of a territory sufficient to meet the requirement of
economic diversification.
(7) Since the trade area under discussion is a regional economic
area for banking purposes the status of the banks in a given city will
furnish a guide to its character and extent, particularly the number
and location of the surrounding country banks for which they are the
principal bank correspondents.
(8) It would not be a difficult undertaking for a committee composed of the Secretary of the Treasury, the Governor of the Federal
Keserve Board and the Comptroller of the Currency to select the principal commercial centers in the United States for branch banking
purposes.
(9) Upon the selection of such a city the determination of the
boundary limits of its trade area would be a question of fact and
could easily be discovered through a study of its banking operations
and its general trade influence and position.
Small country banks need have no fear that they would be driven
out of business through the establishment in their communities of
de novo branches by city banks. Such a procedure would be highly
abnormal and it is inconceivable to me that any Comptroller of the
Currency would lend his office to its support. The natural development of rural branch banking would occur through the consolidation
with or purchase of country banks by the city branch banking institutions upon such terms as would be agreeable to each. The conversion of the local bank into a branch of the city bank in this manner
would have no disturbing effect upon the local banking situation.
The type of branch banking here recommended would, as compared with the present system of unit banking, lead to a decentralization of banking resources. Within each trade area there would be a
concentration of local or regional banking capital and the best interests
of the branch banking systems would compel the employment of such
capital in the various communities throughout the trade area. The
present tendency under our system of a large number of very small
banks and a small number of very large and strong banks is for the
bulk of the banking resources of the country to be concentrated in a
few great metropolitan centers. Under trade area branch banking
there would undoubtedly arise in the inland commercial centers
regional banks of sufficient strength to hold the banking business
originating within their trade areas.
The enactment of legislation vesting authority in the Comptroller
of the Currency to examine security or investment companies affiliated
with national banking associations is recommended. These companies are generally so closely allied with the national association that
it is not always possible to ascertain the true condition of the national
association
without knowing the exact condition of its affiliate.
REPORT OP THE COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY
H
The following recommendations which were contained in my
annual report to the Seventy-first Congress are renewed:
(1) That the law be so amended as to provide that the exercise
of fiduciary powers shall be'one of the corporate powers of a national
banking association subject to the existing limitations in regard
to the State law, etc., now contained in paragraph (k) of section 11
of the Federal reserve act.
(2) To give the comptroller supervision over national banking
associations going into voluntary liquidation. Under the present law
the comptroller's authority is limited to the appointment of a
receiver, provided a bank in liquidation should prove to be insolvent.
Reports of the liquidating agent are not required under the law,
although they are frequently furnished voluntarily. At present the
liquidation of a national bank may be carried on for a period of time
and the bank may later prove to be insolvent, necessitating the
appointment of a receiver. Creditors whose claims have been settled
prior to such appointment may thus obtain preference over other
creditors. As a remedy for this condition it is proposed that the
activities of the liquidating agent of a national bank be conducted
under the supervision of the comptroller and that he be required to
give bond and to render reports in the same manner as is required of a
receiver until the affairs of a liquidating bank are finally closed.
(3) That a law be enacted making it a criminal offense to maliciously
or with intent to deceive, make, publish, or circulate any false report
concerning any national bank or any other member of the Federal
reserve system which imputes insolvency or unsound financial condition, or which may tend to cause a general withdrawal of deposits
from such bank or may otherwise injure the business or good will of
such bank. A bill, satisfactory to the Treasury Department, was
reported by the Banking and Currency Committee of the House of
Representatives at the last session of Congress, but failed of passage.
The following recommendations with respect to the laws of the
District of Columbia are renewed:
(1) Giving the comptroller the right and power to make regulations governing savings banks or trust companies doing a banking
business in the District of Columbia with a penal provision for the
enforcement of such regulation, the regulations to be limited so that
they shall not in any case place restrictions upon such banks which
are not placed upon national banks.
(2) Prohibiting the use of the word^bank" or the words "trust
company" by any firm, copartnership, company, or corporation
doing business in the District of Columbia and not doing a banking or
fiduciary business under the supervision of the Comptroller of the
Currency and providing, in the event such title shall be used by a
firm, copartnership, company, or corporation doing a banking or
fiduciary business, it shall be subject to the approval of the Comptroller of the Currency.
(3) The corporations with their principal place of business outside
of the District of Columbia may not establish offices in the District
of Columbia and do a fiduciary business therein without the permission of the Comptroller of the Currency and without complying
with the general conditions of the corporation laws of the District
which have been enacted for the protection of those who do business
with corporations with their principal place of business in the District.
12
REPORT OF THE COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY
(4) While the building and loan associations in the District of
Columbia are examined and supervised by the Comptroller of the
Currency, there is no provision of law which prohibits any building
and loan association from organizing and doing business in the
District of Columbia regardless of its merits. I recommend that a
law be passed which would prohibit any building and loan association
from doing business in the District of Columbia or maintaining an
office in the District of Columbia without first securing the approval
of the Comptroller of the Currency, and that any violation of thia
provision shall constitute a penal offense and be punishable in the
same manner as now provided by the act of April 26, 1922, entitled
"An act regulating corporations doing a banking business in the
District of Columbia,"
BEPOBT OF THE COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY

ORGANIZATION AND LIQUIDATION OF NATIONAL BANKS
At the close of the current year, October 31, 1930, there were 7,218
national banking associations in existence. This represents a net
loss since October 31, 1929, of 288 banks, or 3.99 per cent. However, the last call for reports of condition, as of September 24, 1930,
showed an increase in aggregate resources of $454,373,000, or about
1.63 per cent, during this period.
Up to and including October 31, 1930, there have been authorized
to begin business 13,498 national banking associations, of which
4,939 were voluntarily closed to discontinue business or amalgamate
with other banks, State or National, including those consolidated
with other national banking associations under authority of the act
of November 7, 1918. Exclusive of banks which failed but were
subsequently restored to solvency, the loss to the system by the
liquidation of banks through receivership was 1,341, the number of
these receiverships being a fraction more than 9.93 per cent of the
total number of banks organized.
During the year ended October 31, 1930, 263 national banks, with
total capitalization of $39,230,400, went into voluntary liquidation,
of which number 3, with capital of $202,500 and resources of $413,494,
quit business; 112, with capital of $12,405,000, were acquired by
other national banks; while 148, with capital of $26,622,900 and resources of $321,034,972, entered the State banking systems. This
last-named group included 16 banks of $500,000 capital or over, with
aggregate capital of $14,650,000 and assets of $165,441,412.
November, 1914, marked the inauguration of the operation of the
Federal reserve system. On that date there were in existence 7,578
national banks with aggregate capital of $1,072,492,175, as compared with a total capitalization of $1,748,495,629 for the 7,218
national banks in operation on October 31, 1930—a net decrease of
360 in the number of banks, but an increase in capitalization of
$676,003,454. During the 16-year period 2,846 national banks were
chartered, with aggregate capital of $366,870,300, while 3,206 such
associations were closed voluntarily or otherwise.
During the year ended October 31, 1930, 168 applications to organize national banks and to convert State banks into national banking
associations were received, with proposed capital stock of $18,595,000.
Of these applications 103 were approved, with proposed capital stock
of $9,505,000,49 were rejected, with proposed capital stock of $6,145,000, and 31 were abandoned, with proposed capital stock of $8,865,000.
In this same period 108 national banking associations, with capital
of $12,240,000, were authorized to begin business, 4 of which were
located in the New England States, 15 in the Eastern States, 20 in
the Southern States, 24 in the Middle Western States, 39 in the
Western States, and 6 in the Pacific States. The greatest activity,
as indicated by the number of national banks organized, was evidenced in the following States.' Nebraska 20, New York 8, Texas 8,
Minnesota 8, South Dakota 8, Pennsylvania 7, Illinois 7, North
Dakota 5, Massachusetts 4, Iowa 4, and Washington 4. In other
States the number ranged from 1 to 3 banks.
It further appears that of the total number of charters issued, 31,
with authorized capital of $3,040,000 and resources aggregating approximately $31,138,465, were the result of conversions of State
14
REPORT OF THE COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY
banks, 9, with capital of $700,000, were reorganizations of State
banks, and 68, with capital of $8,500,000, were primary organizations. The business of 40 State banks, with capital of $1,817,750
and assets aggregating approximately $28,734,391, was purchased by
national banks.
During the year ended October 31, 1930, 90 national banking associations were consolidated into 45, under authority of the act of
November 7, 1918, the capital of the consolidated banks being $103,462,300. In some instances there were reductions in capital and in
others increases, the net result by reason of consolidations being an
increase in capital stock of $75,868,500. During the same period
there were 40 consolidations under the act of February 25, 1927,
involving the consolidation of 44 State banks with national banks,
the aggregate capital of the State institutions amounting to $71,765,850. Through these mergers five additional branches and total
assets of approximately $1,085,124,244 were brought into the national
system.
The net result of the changes above mentioned was a decrease for
the year in the number of existing banks of 288 and an increase in
the authorized capital stock of $62,243,964. It appears that during
the year 225 banks increased their capital in the aggregate sum oi
$99,414,364. Of this number, 68 banks effected the increase by stock
dividends, the amount of such increase being $6,085,130.
BRANCHES
On February 25, 1927, the date of the passage of the so-called
McFadden bill, there were in existence in the national system 372
branches, as compared with a total of 1,086 branches in operation
on October 31, 1930.
During the intervening period 965 branches have been added to
the system, of which total 405 were de novo branches, 307 were
branches of State banks which converted into national associations,
and 253 were brought into the national system through consolidations of State with National banks, while 251 branches were relinquished, of which number 138 went out of the system through the
voluntary liquidation of the parent institutions and the remainder,
113, were discontinued through consolidations and for various other
reasons. The net result of these operations was a gain for the
national system of 714 branches for the period under discussion.
During the year ended October 31, 1930, a net gain of 25 branches
was recorded, 86 de novo branches being established, while 1 branch
was added under the provisions of paragraph 2 of section 5155,
United States Revised Statutes, as amended February 25, 1927, and
5 branches were brought into the system through the consolidation of State banks with National banks—a total of 92 branches.
Sixty-seven branches were lost to the national system, 32 through
voluntary liquidation and 35 through action of the directors and
shareholders.

NATIONAL BANKS IN THE TRUST FIELD
The national banks in 1930 continued to show steady and substantial progress in the development of trust activities. Two thousand
four hundred and seventy-two banks, with capital, surplus, and
undivided profits aggregating $3,123,303,341, and banking resources
totaling $23,529,097,073, had authority to administer trusts on
June 30, 1930, which represented 34 per cent of the number of banks
and 80 per cent of the total banking resources of the 7,252 national
banks in operation on that date. Of the number authorized to exercise trust powers under section 11 (k) of the Federal reserve act,
1,829 banks had established trust departments and were administering 79,912 individual trusts with assets aggregating $4,473,040,926,
and in addition were administering 11,511 corporate trusts and acting
as trustees for outstanding note and bond issues aggregating
$11,803,717,370. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 1930, trust department gross earnings aggregating $22,765,000 were reported.
Compared with 1929, these figures reflect a net increase during
the year of 30 in number of national banks having authority to exercise trust powers; an increase of 95, or 5 per cent, in the number
administering trusts; an increase of 15,435, or 20 per cent, in the
number of trusts being administered; an increase of $235,392,000, or
5}& per cent, in the volume of individual trust assets; an increase of
$4,433,000,000, or 60 per cent, in the volume of trusteeships under
bond issues, while the gross earnings from trust department operations increased $2,182,000, or 11 per cent, over the previous year.
The rapid strides which national banks have made in the trust
field are emphasized by considering the activities during the past
year with those of 1926. Compared with that year, these figures
represent an increase during the 4-year period of 446, or 22 per cent,
in the number of national banks authorized to exercise trust powers;
an increase of 725, or 66 per cent, in the number of banks actively
administering trusts; an increase of 65,370, or 250 per cent, in the
number of trusts being administered; an increase of $3,550,000,000,
or 385 per cent, in the volume of individual trust assets under administration; an increase of $9,340,000,000, or 379 per cent, in the volume
of bond issues outstanding for which national banks are acting as
trustees, while the gross earnings for the same period increased
$14,510,000, or 176 per cent.
The increasing interest in the creation of insurance trusts is evidenced by the fact that 153 national banks were acting as trustees
under 396 agreements involving the administration of $13,495,009
in proceeds from insurance policies, while 680 national banks had
been named trustees under 13,543 insurance trust agreements
not operative supported by insurance policies with a face value
aggregating $586,706,435. Compared with 1929, the insurance
trust figures represent an increase of 30 per cent in the number of
national banks administering insurance trusts, an increase of 46 per
cent in the number and 19 per cent in the volume of insurance trust
assets under administration.
The number of banks which had been named trustees under
insurance trust agreements not operative increased during the
year 22 per cent, the number of insurance trust agreements not yet
operative naming national banks trustees increased 42 per cent, while
20
REPORT OF THE COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY
the volume of insurance represented by the face value of the policies
trusteed under those agreements increased 56 per cent over 1929.
Branches of national banks numbering 187 were actively engaged
in the administration of 15,092 trusts, with individual trust assets
aggregating $1,340,564,760, and were acting as trustees for bond and
note issues outstanding amounting to $3,151,175,430.
The following tables show in detail the activities of national banks
in the trust field, segregated, first, according to the capital of the
bank; second, according to the population of the place in which the
bank is located; third, according to Federal reserve districts, with a supplemental table showing the extent to which the branches of national
banks are furnishing trust service to the communities in which they
are operating.

REPORT OF THE COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY

NATIONAL-BANK FAILURES
During the year ended October 31,1930, receivers were appointed for
.104 national banks. Of this number, 88 were actual failures, while 16
appointments of receivers were made in order to enforce stock assessments, the collection of which was necessary under contracts to
succeeding institutions which purchased the assets of the banks under
guarantees from stockholders, by which creditors were paid in full.
Of the 88 actual failures, 3 were restored to solvency, leaving 85 to be
liquidated by receivers. These figures for the year 1930 may be
compared with 72 actual failures for the previous year, 2 of which
were restored to solvency, with the appointment of receivers for 7
banks to enforce stock assessments. The capitalization of the 104
banks, for which receivers were appointed during the past year, was
$8,355,000, as compared with the capitalization of the 79 banks, for
which receivers were appointed during the previous year, of $6,575,000.
Total assets of the 104 banks for which receivers were appointed
during the past year, including additional assets acquired after suspension, as indicated by receivers' reports submitted, amounted to
$63,098,244, in addition to which stock assessments in the amount of
$6,760,000 had been levied by the comptroller as of October 31, 1930,
against the shareholders of these banks.
It is of interest to note an important decision handed down by the
United States Circuit Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit dealing
with the authority of the comptroller over the appointment of receivers for insolvent national banks.
The Port Newark National Bank of Newark, N. J., was in grave
financial difficulties. Arrangements had been made for the deposit
liability of this bank to be assumed by another institution, thus
assuring depositors of full payment of their deposits. On the day
prior to the contemplated consummation of these arrangements, a
stockholder filed a petition in the United States District Court for
the appointment of a receiver and obtained a rule to restrain the bank
from consummating the deal. The Comptroller of the Currency
appointed a receiver for the Port Newark National Bank the following
morning. Subsequently the District Court ousted the comptroller's
receiver and appointed a court receiver. The case was appealed by
the comptroller from the District Court to the Circuit Court of
Appeals, which remanded the case to the District Court with instructions that the receiver appointed by the court be discharged, first
accounting to the comptroller's receiver for his doings and restoring
to him possession of all of the bank's property; restoring the comptroller's receiver, dismissing the bill with costs against the complainant
in the bill.
The court, in speaking of the right of the comptroller to appoint
receivers and whether or not such right is paramount and exclusive,
stated that it "is a question we do not feel called on to now decide
because the present case does not so require." However, the court
in commenting on this phase of the question further said:
"In that regard we also note that in Korbly v. Springfield Trust, 245 U. S. 330,
the Supreme Court said:
"From the earliest days of the administration of the National Banking Act to
this case attempts have been made in many forms to give to it a technical construe-
28
KBPOBT OF THE COMPTROLLER OF THE CXJBKEKCY
tion which would so restrict the powers of the comptroller as to greatly delay
and impede the settlement of the affairs of insolvent banks. But this court has
uniformly declined to narrow the act by construction, and has placed a liberal
interpretation upon its provisions to promote its plain purpose of expeditiously
and justly winding up the affairs and paying the debts of such unfortunate
institutions."
"Not only the research of counsel but our independent research has shewn
no case where a Federal or State Court has appointed a receiver for a going national
bank as distinguished from one in liquidation. Sufficient to say that in the present
case we regard the Comptroller at the time this bill was filed as having complete
dominion over and, by his bank examiner, full legal control of the then and future
operations of the bank, and that such situation might ultimately require the
appointment of a receiver. Consequently the court below, when the bill was
filed, acquired no jurisdiction to shear the Comptroller of the statutory power to
take the further step of appointing a receiver in case insolvency existed and the
attempted sale fell through. As the order states, the Comptroller had on file
at that time information of the insolvency of
the bank, it is clear he had already
complied with the statutory provisions of fon examination of its affairs/ after
which he 'may appoint a receiver'."
The full text of this decision is given in Exhibit A in the appendix
of this report.
From the date of the first failure of a national bank in the jear
1865 to October 31, 1930, 1,417 national banks have been placed in
charge of receivers. Of this number, 76 have been restored to
solvency and permitted to resume business, leaving 1,341 to be administered by receivers. Of these so administered, 443 (17 more than
reported at the close of 1929) are still in process of liquidation and 898
have been entirely liquidated and the affairs thereof finally closed.
The capital of the 1,417 insolvent national banks at the date of
failure was $152,075,420. The capital of the 76 banks that have
been restored to solvency was $12,805,000. The capital of the 443
banks that are still in process of liquidation was $34,794,500, and the
capital of the 898 banks that have been completely liquidated was
$104,475,920.
The aggregate book value of the assets of the 1,341 administered
receiverships, including assets acquired after suspension, was $923,470,652, in addition to which there have been levied against shareholders assessments aggregating $99,710,740. Total collections by
receivers from these assets to September 30, 1930, including offsets
allowed and collections from stock assessments, amounted to 55.59
per cent of the total of such assets and stock assessments. The
disposition of such collections was as follows:

M3POBT OF THE COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY
From the date of the first failure of a national bank in 1865 to the
close of business October 31, 1930, 974 receiverships have been liquidated and the trusts closed or the affairs thereof restored to solvency.
Included in this number are the 76 banks restored to solvency (4 in
1930) and 83 the liquidation of which was completed during the year
1930. The 898 banks liquidated by receivers had assets, including
assets acquired subsequent to their failure, aggregating$559,147,916.
The capital of these 898 banks was $104,475,920 and there were levied
by the Comptroller of the Currency stock assessments against their
shareholders in the amount of $68,406,240. The collections from
these assets, including offsets allowed and collections from stock
assessments, as shown by receivers'final reports, amounted to 58.28
per cent of such assets and stock assessments. The disposition of
such collections was as follows:
Collections:
Collections from assets, including offsets allowed and, for
accounting purposes, dividends paid secured creditors of
all trusts finally closed Oct. 1, 1924, to Oct. 31, 1929
$332, 486, 685
Collections from stock assessments
33, 307, 569
Total
365, 794, 254
Disposition of collections:
Dividends paid to secured and unsecured creditors, on total
secured and unsecured claims proved and outstanding at
dates of final reports, in the aggregate amount of $300,759,906
205, 528, 433
Payments to secured and preferred creditors, including offsets allowed, disbursements for the protection of assets,
and, for all trusts finally closed Oct. 1, 1924, to Oct. 31,
1929, dividends paid to secured creditors
132, 094, 915

24, 346, 797
Cash returned to shareholders
3, 824, 109
Total
365, 794, 254
In addition to this record of distribution, there were returned to
shareholders, through their duly elected agents, assets of a book
value of $16,471,958.
From the above it will be noted that the average percentage of all
dividends paid on the aggregate of secured and unsecured claims
proved and outstanding at dates of final reports, against the 898
receiverships that have been finally closed, but not including the 76
restored to solvency which paid 100 per cent, was 68.33 per cent. If
payments to secured and preferred creditors, offsets, and other disbursements, as indicated above, were included with the dividends paid
in this calculation, the total disbursements to creditors would amount
to $337,623,348 or 77.99 per cent of claims proved plus other liabilities
paid but not included in the figure above of proved claims, or $432,854,821. In making the above calculations of percentages of payments to secured and preferred creditors it has been impossible to
take into consideration those claims of creditors which were neither
proved nor paid, as well as secured claims which were proved and upon
which dividends were paid but which were subsequently eliminated
from the total of claims proved by reason of having been paid in full
out of the proceeds of collateral collections. The consideration of
such unproved, unpaid claims and secured claims proved but not
included in the total thereof set out in the table above, would very
reduce the percentages of payments to creditors as given.

Expenses incident to the administration of the 898 closed trusts
such as receivers7 salaries, legal and other expenses, amounted to
$24,346,797 or 3.87 per cent of the book value of the assets and stock
assessments administered, or 6.65 per cent of collections from assets
and stock assessments. The assessments against shareholders averaged 65.47 per cent of their holdings and the total collections from
such assessments as were levied were 48.69 per cent of the amount
assessed. The outstanding circulation of these closed receiverships
at date of failure was $40,571,264.50, secured by United States bonds
on deposit with the Treasurer of the United States of the par value
of $43,289,770.
During the year ended October 31, 1930, 83 receiverships were
closed, in addition to which 4 banks were restored to solvency. The
total assets of the 83 receiverships, including assets acquired subsequent to suspension, aggregated $44,671,504. The capital of these
banks was $5,510,000 and assessments against shareholders levied by
the Comptroller of the Currency aggregated $5,015,000. The collections from these assets including offsets allowed and collections
from stock assessments, as shown by receivers' final reports, amounted
to 56.8 per cent of such assets and stock assessments. The disposition
of such collections was as follows:

It is also found that total secured and unsecured claims proved and
outstanding at date of final reports aggregated $25,310,410.
In addition to this record of distribution, there were returned to
shareholders, through their duly elected agents, assets of a book value
of $260,334.
From the above it will be noted that the average percentage of dividends paid on unsecured liabilities at date of suspension of the 83
receiverships that were finally closed during the year ended October
31, 1930, not including the 4 banks restored to solvency which paid
creditors 100 per cent, was 52.89 per cent. The average percentage
of dividends paid on secured deposits and liabilities at date of suspension of the 83 receiverships amounted to 11.62 per cent, while dividends, together with other payments to secured and preferred creditors, amounted to $13,451,712, or an average payment on secured and
preferred liabilities at date of suspension of 93.49 per cent. The
inclusion of offsets allowed with dividends paid to unsecured creditors
32
'BEPOBT OF THE COMPTROLLER OF THE CTJEBEN€Y
gives total payments of $12,650,735, or an average total return upon
unsecured liabilities at date of suspension of 63.27 per cent, while all
payments to all creditors, consisting of offsets, dividends paid on both
secured and unsecured deposits, and other payments on secured and
preferred liabilities, amounted to $26,102,447, or an average total
return of 75.92 per cent upon all liabilities at date of suspension in the
amount of $34,381,339. In making the above calculations it has been
impossible to take into consideration additional liabilities of the 83
receiverships established after suspension, the inclusion of which would
reduce somewhat the percentages given. It may also be of interest
to note that the average percentage of all dividends, amounting to
$12,248,570, paid on both secured and unsecured claims aggregating
$25,310,410 proved against the 83 receiverships that were finally
closed during the year ended October 31, 1930, but not including the
4 banks restored to solvency which paid creditors 100 per cent, was
48.39 per cent. ^
Expenses incident to the administration of these 83 trusts, such as
receivers' salaries, legal, and other expenses, amounted to $1,886,943
or 3.79 per cent of the book value of the assets and stock assessments
administered, or 6.68 per cent of collections from assets and stock
assessments. The assessments against shareholders averaged 91.01
per cent of their holdings and the total collections from such assessments as were levied were 53.6 per cent of the amount assessed. The
outstanding circulation of these 83 receiverships at date of failure was
$2,510,787.50 secured by United States bonds on deposit with the
Treasurer of the United States, of a par value of $2,589,100.
The financial operations of the division of insolvent national banks

CHECKS
Povjer of Federal reserve bank to charge checks to account of drawee bank not revoked
by drawee's insolvency.
(U. S. Sup. 1930.) A circular of a Federal reserve bank, authorized by law,
provided that when checks were received by the reserve bank for collection
and forwarded to the member bank on which they were drawn, the drawee
should remit or provide funds to meet them within an agreed transit
time, failing which the amount should be chargeable against the reserve
account of the drawee in the reserve bank; but that the reserve bank
reserved the right to charge checks so forwarded against the drawee's
reserve account at any time when in any particular case it deemed it
necessary to do so. Held—
1. That the last provision, consented to by the drawee bank, created a
power, in the interest and for the security of the owners of such checks,
which was not revoked by insolvency of the drawee bank, and that upon
learning of such insolvency it became the duty of the reserve bank, even
though the transit time had not expired, to charge such checks against the
reserve account of the drawee.
2. This lien was not affected by the fact that the drawee bank had
retained the right to draw drafts on the reserve, (30 Fed. Rep. (2d
series), 198, affirmed.)
(Early, Receiver, v. Federal Reserve Bank of
Richmond, 281 U. S. R. 84.)
Bank held not liable to corporation for aiding fraud in payment of unauthorized
notes, where it derived no benefit from checks or notes except small collection fees.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1929.) In suit by corporation against bank on ground that
payment of unauthorized notes by checks drawn through deposits constituted fraud which bank aided, dismissal of bill held proper, where
defendant had no knowledge of infirmity in notes except such as appeared
on face and derived no benefit from any of checks or notes except small
collection fees. (Lincoln Oil Producing Co. v. Clark National iBank, 35
Fed. Rep. (2d series), 6.)
165
166
REPORT OF THE COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY
That one directing bank to draw on corporation for payment of note signed by him
afterwards countersigned check for payment did not require bank to inquire whether
note or check was authorized.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1929.) Fact that one directing bank to draw on corporation
for payment of note which bore his signature as one of makers countersigned check for such payment held not to require defendant to go to
extent of inquiring whether note or check had been authorized by board
of directors, or whether there was possibility of some future complaint by
minority stockholders. (Ib.)
That corporation executed note payable to officer did not show breach of trust.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1929.) Corporations frequently execute notes payable to
their officers, and such a circumstance did not justify conclusion that
breach of trust had been committed by officer or that misapplication of
funds was intended by him as respects bank's liability. (Ib.)
Bank was bound to honor corporation's checks drawn in proper form as long as there
were sufficient funds.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1929.) Defendant bank held bound to honor checks of corporation when drawn in proper form as long as there were sufficient
funds, since its relation to corporation was simply that of debtor and
creditor and not agent or trustee. (Ib.)
Equity—Corporation's suit against bank for assisting fraud of officers held properly
dismissed for laches.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1929.) Suit by corporation against bank on theory that
bank has aided fraud by officers of corporation in payment of unauthorized
notes held properly dismissed for laches, where suit could have been
brought earlier, and in meantime of those primarily liable, if liability
existed, some were dead, some gone from State, and some insolvent. (Ib.)
Absent contrary written agreement, bank receiving check for deposit became merely
depositor's collecting agent. (Laws Minn., 1927, ch. 138, sec. 1.)
(U. S. D. C. 1929.) Under Laws Minn., 1927, chapter 138, section 1,
providing that bank receiving items for deposit or collection, in absence
of written agreement to contrary, shall act only as depositor's collecting
agent, that all items shall be credited subject to final payment in cash
or solvent credits, and that bank shall not be liable for default or negligence of its duly selected correspondents, there was a conclusive presumption, in absence of required written agreement, that bank, when it
received check from payee for deposit, became merely depositor's collecting agent, and that relation of debtor and creditor never existed between
it and drawers of check, and that it never owned check. (Schram v.
Askegaard, 34 Fed. Rep. 348.)
Bills and notes—Drawers who stopped payment on check held not liable to collecting
bank's correspondent which had credited collecting bank with amount thereof
before it closed its doors. (Laws Minn. 1927, ch., 138, sec. 1.)
(U. S. D. C. 1929.) Since under Laws Minn., 1927, chapter 138, section
.1, bank receiving payee's check for deposit never became more than
depositor's collecting agent, and did not own such check, correspondent
bank to which collecting bank sent check for collection never became
anything more than its agent for collection., and drawers of check stopping
payment thereon therefore did not become liable to said correspondent
on its failure to make collection and inability to recover amount of check
previously credited to collecting bank because latter had closed its doors.
(Ib.)
COLLATERAL SECURITIES
Pledges—Assignee of bankrupt's note and collateral securing other demands of
"payee" could not apply collateral to other notes of bankrupt held by him.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1929.) Where bankrupt's note provided that collateral was
deposited for payment of such note and other demands of "payee,"
assignee of note and collateral could not apply such collateral to other
notes of bankrupts held by him, in view of obvious intention of parties.
(Jones v. Kendall. In re Haynsworth et al., 34 Fed. Rep. (2d series),
344.)
REPORT OF THE COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY
167
Bankruptcy—Order for disposition of stock held by trustees of separate bankruptcy
estates held not erroneous, where sale as whole would be more advantageous.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1929.) Order for disposition of corporate stock held by
trustees of separate bankruptcy estates held pot erroneous, where combined stock represented controlling interest in corporation, in view of
more advantageous sale of entire stock. (Ib.)
Bankruptcy—Substantial right and justice should control in bankruptcy proceeding.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1929.) Bankruptcy proceeding is litigation in which substantial right and justice, rather than technical form, should control.
(Ib.)
Bankruptcy—Bankrupt's assignment of stock to bank held void, as "preference/7
where bankrupts were insolvent and bank's president had knowledge of their
condition. (Bankruptcy act, sec. 60; 11 U. S. C. A., sec. 96.)
(U. S. C. C. A. 1929.) Transfer by bankrupts to bank of equity in
certain stock, either as collateral to secure past indebtedness or as payment thereon, was "preference," and should be avoided under bankruptcy
act, section 60 (11 U. S. C. A., Sec. 96), where bankrupts were insolvent
and president of bank had full knowledge of their condition, though trustee
may move before referee for order permitting him to hold such transfer
for benefit of estate. (Ib.)
Subrogation—Contractor's surety, paying materialmen and taking assignment of
their claims, became subrogated to rights of materialmen.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1929.) Highway contractor's surety, paying claims of
materialmen and taking assignments of their claims, became subrogated
to rights of materialmen. (Riverview State Bank v. Wentz et al., 34
Fed. Rep. (2d series), 419.)
Subrogation—Contractor's surety, paying claims of materialmen and taking assignments, had right to funds due contractor superior to bank lending contractor
money and taking assignment of money due.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1929.) Rights of highway contractor's surety, paying
materialmen's claims and taking assignments of claims, to funds due
contractor, held superior to rights of bank lending money to contractor
and securing loan by an assignment of money due and to become due contractor for work done, notwithstanding contract provided that highway
commission, if it so elected, could hold any balance due contractor for
payment of labor and materialmen, where highway commission paid
fund into court. Symes, district judge, dissenting. (Ib.)
Bank authorized to deliver bonds held as securities.
(U. S.' C. C. A. 1930.) Bank accepting order to deliver bonds held as
securities is presumed to have acted within its powers. (Sibert v. Continental National Bank of Jackson County, Mo., et al., 41 Fed. Rep. (2d
series), 35.)
Evidence held not to show agreement for or actual substitution of accounts for accounts
assigned.
(U. S. D. C. 1930.) Evidence held not to show agreement between newspaper company in hands of receivers and bank for substitution, nor actual
substitution, of accounts for specific accounts assigned to bank in writing
by company as security for loans. (Queen City Printing Ink Co. v.
Rochester Herald Co. Claim of Commonwealth Bank of New York,
38 Fed. Rep. (2d series), 254.)
Pledges—Agreement to substitute, and actual substitution of, accounts for accounts
assigned, are prerequisites to substitution thereof.
(U. S. D. C. 1930.) To substitute accounts for accounts specifically assigned
in writing as security for loans to assignor, there must be an agreement
to substitute them and actual substitution thereof. (Ib.)
Corporations—Proceeds of receivers' sale exceeding amount necessary to pay half of
claims of all creditors except bank, to which corporation assigned certain accounts
as security for loans, held not collected for bank.
(U. S. D. C. 1930.) Proceeds of receivers' sale of corporation's property
in excess of amount necessary to pay half of claims of all creditors except
22439°—31
12
168
REPORT OF THE. COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY
bank, to which corporation assigned certain accounts as security for
loans, held not collected for bank so as to entitle it to payment in full;
receivers having no power to determine validity of bank's claim to preference or collect money for bank. (Ib.)
Pledges—Assignee of bankrupt's note and collateral securing other demands of
"payee" could not apply collateral to other notes of bankrupt held by him.
(U. S. D. C. 1928.) Where bankrupt's note provided that collateral
was
deposited for payment of such note and other demands of 'i payee," assignee of note and collateral could not apply such collateral to other
notes of bankrupt held by him, in view of obvious intention of parties.
(In re Haynsworth et al., 34 Fed. Rep. (2d series), 334.)
Pledges—Collateral pledged by bankrupts to secure note and other demands of payee
does not cover demands against bankrupts jointly with others.
(U. S. D. C. 1928.) Where bankrupts pledged collateral to secure certain
note and other demands of payee, such collateral can not be applied to
any demands, except those against bankrupts alone, and does not cover
demands against them jointly with others. (Ib.)
Pledges—Collateral pledged by bankrupts could not be applied to notes, in absence
of showing of any assumption of payment of such notes by bankrupt.
(U. S. D. G. 1928.) Collateral pledged by bankrupts to secure payment of
certain note and other demands of payee can not be applied to payment of
other notes, in absence of sufficient showing that there was assumption of
payment of such notes by bankrupt. (Ib.)
Evidence—Ex parte statement, without right of cross-examination, that bankrupts
assumed note, is not binding on trustee or other creditors.
(U. S. D. C. 1928.) Ex parte statement, without right of cross-examination,
that payment of certain notes was assumed by bankrupt firm, is not binding
on trustee or other creditors. (Ib.)
Bankruptcy—Where no action was taken on bankrupt's note providing for attorney's
fee before filing of petition in bankruptcy, attorney's fee is not proper claim.
(11 U. S. C. A., sec. 103.)
(U. S. D. C. 1928.) Where bankrupt's note contained provision for attorney's fee, and was secured by mortgage or collateral, and petition in bankruptcy was filed before any action was taken to institute suit; and there
was no contest over validity of note, nor right to have property sold,
attorney's fee is not proper claim, under 11 U. S. C. A., section 103, and
can not be charged against proceeds of property. (Ib.)
Bankruptcy—Bankrupt's assignment of stock to bank held void as "preference,"
where bankrupts were insolvent and bank's president had knowledge of their condition. {Bankruptcy act, sec. 60; 11 U.S. C. A., sec. 96.)
(U. S. D. C. 1928.) Transfer by bankrupts to bank of equity in certain
stock, either as collateral to secure past indebtedness or as payment
thereon, was " preference," and should be avoided, under bankruptcy
act, section 60 (11 U. S. C. A., sec. 96), where bankrupts were insolvent and
president of bank had full knowledge of their condition, though trustee
may move before referee for order permitting him to hold such transfer for
benefit of estate. (Ib.)
Pledges—Negotiability of bankrupts' note did not affect indebtedness to which collateral was applicable.
(U. S. D. C. 1928.) Fact that note of bankrupts was negotiable did not add
to or diminish indebtedness to which collateral was applicable. (Ib.)
Evidence—As regards admissibility of ex parte statement, right of cross-examination
is not saved merely because party making ex parte statement is sworn and subject
to cross-examination later.
(U. S. D. C. 1928.) As regards admissibility of ex parte statement, right of
cross-examination is not saved, where no right to cross-examination at
time can be had, simply by party being sworn and subject to cross-examination later. (Ib.)
Bills and notes—Party can not declare note due and payable by secret intention,,
never disclosed by act or word.
(U. S. D. C. 1928.) Party having option to declare note due and payable
can not claim that he has made such declaration by secret intention, never
disclosed by act or word. (Ib.)
REPORT OF THE COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY
169
Bankruptcy—Order for sale as whole of stock in certain company owned by bankrupt
estates held not disturbed. (11 U. S. C. A., sec. 110 (6).)
(U. S. D. C. 1928.) Order under 11 U. S. C. A., sec. 110 (b), for sale as whole
of stock in certain company belonging to bankrupt estates, held not disturbed, as against contention that stock pledged to secure particular note
should be sold separately, where sale as whole would bring in larger sum
for entire stock, since it represented controlling interest in corporation,
especially in view of agreement between original holders of stock not to sell
separately. (Ib.)
Shipping—Bills of lading—Drafts—Collateral security.
(IT. S. D. C. 1929.) Bank held under agreements, to have bills of lading and
drafts covering shipments wrongfully delivered as collateral security for
shipper's outstanding indebtedness.
(The libelant bank suing carrier for wrongful delivery was a creditor
of the shipper and was in possession of two hypothecation agreements to
effect that all promissory notes, bills of lading, etc., pledged or otherwise
deposited with bank, or which might come into bank's possession, should
be held by bank as collateral security for any and all indebtedness owing
to bank by shipper, and that such securities should be deemed pledged to
bank for payment of such indebtedness from moment they or any of them
should come into bank's possession.) (Bank of California N. A. v. International Mercantile Marine Co., 40 Fed. Rep. (2d series) 80.)
Shipping—Misdelivery—Liability of carrier.
(U. S. D. C. 1929.) Carrier's misdelivery of freight to person not entitled
thereto subjects it to liability to anyone having right of property or entitled
to possession. (Ib.)
Shipping—Wrongful delivery—Order bill of lading—Carrier's liability.
(U. S. D. C. 1929.) Carrier's liability for misdelivery extends to anyone
who for value and in good faith purchases order bill of lading, either
before or after wrongful delivery. (Ib.)
Shipping—Wrongful delivery—Parties entitled to sue—Bank holding documents.
(IT. S. D. C. 1929.) Bank holding bills of lading and drafts as collateral
security could sue carrier wrongfully delivering goods. (Ib.)
Shipping—Arrival of goods—Carrier's duty—Storing merchandise.
(U. S. D. C. 1929.) Where salmon was shipped on order bill of lading,
carrier was required to store salmon for owner's account if unable to find
consignee or indorsee of bills of lading. (Ib.)
Shipping—Delivery of goods—Strangers.
(U. S. D. C. 1929.) Carrier has no right under any circumstances to deliver
goods to stranger. (Ib.)
Shipping—Wrongful delivery—Carrier's liability—Time of fixing.
(U. S. D. C. 1929.) Carrier's liability for wrongful delivery should be fixed
as of time it made it possible for person receiving goods to receive goods,
though actual delivery was later. (Ib.)
COLLECTIONS
Federal reserve bank receiving checks for collection held agent of forwarding bank,
and not creditor of drawee bank.
(U. S. D. C. 1930.) Federal reserve bank receiving checks for collection
held agent of forwarding bank, and not creditor of drawee bank, so as to
constitute its remittances unlawful preference on latter's failure. (12
U. S. C. A., sec. 91.)
(Federal reserve bank, as a clearing house and agent for its member
banks, received checks for collection and mailed cash letters, being checks
designated to drawee bank for collection and remittance. Reserve account of the drawee bank in Federal reserve bank not being large enough
to take care of draft covering cash letters, drawee bank sent reserve bank
checks for collection and credits drawn by others on other banks and
designated amount in currency which was credited to drawee's reserve
account. Checks and currency in question were mailed to reserve bank
after board of directors of drawee bank adopted resolution closing drawee
170
REPORT OF THE COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY
bank because of its insolvency, and both remittances were made in contemplation of insolvency.) (Hirning v. Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis, Minn., 42 Fed. Rep. (2d series), 925.)
Federal reserve bank receiving uncollectible draft as remittance for cash letter, acting as
agent for collection from itself, held entitled to enforce trust upon cash in drawee bank.
(U. S. D. C. 1930.) Federal reserve bank receiving uncollectible draft as
remittance for cash letter, drawee bank acting as agent for collection from
itself, held entitled to enforce trust upon cash in drawee bank sufficient to
satisfy draft. (Ib.)
Drafts placed by bank to trust company's credit for borrower held collected by company on being credited by bank, making checks issued for drafts preferred claim
against insolvent company. {Banking act, sec. 34 and sec. 19, subd. 4, as
amended by Laws, 1925, p. 129, sec. 8.)
(Ga. Sup. Ct. 1929.) Kuniansky obtained two loans from the Mortgage
Bond Co. of New York. When the papers were completed they were
attached to drafts drawn by the brokers on the lender. These drafts
were left with the Colonial Trust Co. for collection. The trust company
issued its checks to Kuniansky for the amount of the loan. It deposited
the drafts with the Fulton National Bank in its regular checking account.
The drafts were accepted by the bank, with the understanding that, if
not paid, they would be charged back to the trust company's account.
Before the checks given by the trust company to Kuniansky could be
cleared, that company failed. It had not checked out its balance; on the
contrary, the balance had been largely increased. The Mortgage Bond
Co. refused payment of the drafts, and returned them to the bank. At
the time the Colonial Trust Co. closed its doors, it was indebted to the
Fulton National Bank on notes larger in amount than the balance to its
credit in its checking account. The bank undertook to set off this balance
against the notes, as it had a right to do, under an express agreement in
writing. It then proved against the trust company a claim on the
Kuniansky drafts. Thereafter Kuniansky filed his claim against the
trust company, based on the checks which the trust company had given to
him, and claiming a lien on the trust company's assets under section 34
of article 19 of the banking law. (Laws, 1919, p. 206.) Shortly thereafter he transferred this claim to the Fulton National Bank. The State
superintendent of banks rejected the claim, and Kuniansky, for the use of
the bank, brought this suit to establish the claim under section 17 of
article 7 (Laws, 1919, p. 159), and at the same time to enjoin the superintendent from paying out the funds of the trust company until the question
could be determined. Held, that the court erred in refusing an injunction,
inasmuch as the petitioner was entitled, under the facts, to assert the lien
claimed. (Kuniansky v. Mobley, Superintendent of Banks, et al., 146

Contract to purchase stock of consolidated bank held terminated under new plan
requiring purchase of such stock and shares of speculative corporation; "as issued."
(U. S. C. C. A. 1929.) Contract for purchase of stock of consolidated
bank, which contemplated nothing more than the purchase of additional
stock in established national bank under original plan, held terminated,
where new plan required purchase of units including not only stock of
consolidated bank, but equal number of shares of presumably more
speculative corporation, where both sides contracted with reference to
original plan; words "as issued" in original plan relating to right to
purchase stock of consolidated bank, not including obligation to purchase
units comprising shares of consolidated bank and more speculative corporation. (In re Civic et al., 34 Fed. Rep. (2d series), 624.)
REPORT OF THE COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY
Corporations—Consolidation—Rights
and liabilities of consolidated
171
corporation.
(111. Sup. Ct. 1914.) By the consolidation of two corporations under
statutory authority, the original corporations ceased to exist, and the
consolidated corporation acquired and succeeded to all the faculties,
property, rights, and franchises of its component parts, and became
subject to all the duties, obligations, and conditions imposed upon them.
(Chicago Title & Trust Co. v. Zinser et al., 105 N. E. R. 718.)
Trusts—Delegation of powers—Discretionary
powers.
(111. Sup. Ct. 1914.) If a power is given to an executor or trustee which is
not ministerial or given for the purpose of executing a declared trust
which the court can enforce, but which involves the exercise of discretion
and judgment, the power can not be delegated or transferred to another,
either by the trustee or a court. (Ib.)
Corporations—Acting as trustees—Delegation of powers.
(111. Sup. Ct. 1914.) The rule prohibiting a trustee from delegating powers
involving the exercise of discretion is not applicable, where the trustee,
is a corporation, as the element of trust in the trustee's judgment and
discretion is entirely wanting; a corporation being without personality
and subject to change in its administration and organization. (Ib.)
Corporations—Trusts—Delegation
of powers—Consolidation.
(111. Sup. Ct. 1914.) A consolidated corporation was entitled to execute
a trust as executor under a will naming a corporation, which was consolidated into it, as executor to administer the trust, as the testatrix, in
making the appointment, knew that the corporation named was subject
to change in its administration, and that the statute authorized changes
in its organization and consolidations with other corporations, and therefore contemplated such a consolidation. (Ib.)
State legislation is not essential to authorizing consolidation of State and national
bank.
(Va. Sup. Ct. App. 1930.) State legislation is not essential to operation of
Federal act for consolidation of State and national banks (12 U. S. C. A.,
sees. 30, 34a). (Hofheimer v. Seaboard Citizens' Nat. Bank of Norfolk,
153 S. E. R. 656.)
State statute governing conversion of State bank into national bank does not apply
to consolidation of State bank with national bank.
(Va. Sup. Ct. App. 1930.) State statute governing change of State bank
to national bank and consolidation held not to apply to consolidation of
State with national bank. (Acts 1928, ch. 507, sees. 8, 9a; 12 U. S. C. A.
sees. 30, 34a.)
(Acts 1928, ch. 507, sec. 8, relates to change of status from State bank
to national bank, while section 9a, providing that State banks may be
merged or consolidated with other State or with national banks, refers
to procedure under statutes having to do only with cases where national
banks become consolidated with State banks, and thus the provisions of
the national banking act relative to consolidation of State banks with
national banks.) (12 U. S. C. A. sees. 30, 34a, apply in full force in
Virginia.) (Ib.)

(Pitts v. Pease et al., 39 Fed. Rep.
"Special deposit."
(U. S. C. C. A. 1930.) Bank deposit is special where bank becomes bailee,
and title to deposit remains in depositor; "special deposit." (Ib.)
"General deposit."
(U. S. C. C. A. 1930.) If title to deposit passes to bank with right to use deposit in its business, it being bound only to return equal amount, deposit
is general; "general deposit." (Ib.)
Bondholders'
assessments—Deposit—Nature.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1930.) Bondholders' assessments deposited under agreement for purpose of retiring notes at maturity held to constitute general
and not special deposit.
(Agreement under which deposit was made provided that legal title to
deposits should be in bank, but that beneficial interest therein, subject
to bank's rights, should remain in depositors, that deposits should draw
interest at specified rate per annum until maturity of notes, and that, after
notes were paid, bank should account to depositors for amount thereof
with interest.) (Ib.)
Subrogation—Promissory
notes—Indorsers.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1930.) Indorser paying notes before maturity, accepting
bank's obligation to hold bondholders' assessments deposited to retire
notes at maturity, held not entitled to be pubrogated to depositor's rights.
Bondholder's assessments were deposited in bank under agreement
between depositors and bank for purpose of retiring notes at maturity.
On paying notes before maturity, bank assigned to indorser without
recourse bonds which it held as collateral, and agreed to hold deposits
of bondholders for his benefit.) (Ib.)
Usury—Interest—Eight per cent—Directly or indirectly.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1930.) Interest exceeding 8 per cent annually, either directly or indirectly by way of commission for advances or discount,
constitutes usury. (Park's Ann. Civ. Code Ga. sec. 3436.) (Ib.)
RECEIPT OF DEPOSITS
Appeal and error—Findings on substantially conflicting evidence that bond interest
coupons were deposited with bank for collection only will not be disturbed on appeal,
(Cal. Dist. Apps. 1928.) Findings, based on substantially conflicting
evidence, that depositor and bank agreed that bond interest coupons,
amount of which were credited to depositor's account, were deposited for
collection only, and that advance to depositor was conditioned on collection thereof, and that depositor was instructed not to draw any further
checks against account until bank reported collection, will not be disturbed on appeal. (Anthony v. Crocker First National Bank, 272 Pac. R.
767.)
Appeal and error—Contention that bank pass book constituted written contract,
which could not be varied by parol testimony, can not prevail on appeal, where no
objection was made to such evidence. (Code Civ. Proc. sec. 1856.)
(Cal. Dist. Apps. 1928.) Contention that bank pass book, showing unrestricted credit for amount of bond interest coupons, constituted written
contract, which could not be varied by parol testimony that coupons were
deposited for collection only, under Code Civ. Proc, section 1856, can
not prevail on appeal, where no objection was made to such evidence.
(Ib.)
Evidence—Bank pass book is not "written contract" which can not be varied by
parol testimony. (Civ. Code, sec. 1625; Code Civ. Proc. sec. 1856.)
(Cal. Dist. Apps. 1928.) A bank pass book does not constitute a contract
in writing, within Civ. Code, section 1625, so as to preclude parol testimony, under Code Civ. Proc, section 1856, that bond interest coupons,
amount of which was credited to depositor, were deposited for collection
only. (Ib.)
REPORT OF THE COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY
173
Statute held to entitle bank to charge uncollectible bond interest coupons to depositor's
account. (Bank actf sec. 16c.)
(Cal. Dist. Apps. 1928.) Under bank act (St. 1925, p. 513), section 16c,
which became part of terms under which uncollectible bond interest
coupons were deposited with bank, which forwarded them for collection
on following day, it was entitled to charge them to depositor's account, in
absence of written agreement to contrary. (Ib.)
Bank held entitled to judgment against depositor for amount advanced on uncollectible bond interest coupons deposited for collection only, irrespective of statute,
(Bank act, sec. 16c.)
(Cal. Dist. Apps. 1928.) Uncollectible bond interest coupons having been
deposited with bank for collection only, not sold to it, it was entitled to
judgment against depositor for amount advanced thereon, irrespective
of bank act (St. 1925, p. 513), section 16c. (Ib.)
DEPOSIT OF SCHOOL FUNDS
Depositaries—School funds—Oral designation—Assumption of duties.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1930.) Bank, orally designated as school district depository,
by giving bond, receiving money, and undertaking to act, can not subsequently complain that it was not legally designated. (Gen. St. Minn.
1923, sec. 2836.)
(Gen. St. Minn. 1923, sec. 2836, requires designation of depository for
school district to be in writing, which shall set forth all terms and conditions upon which deposits are made.) (Richfield Nat. Bank of Richfield,
Minn., v. American Surety Co. of New York et al., 39 Fed. Rep. (2d
series), 387.)
Depositaries—Deposits—Conditions—Officers—Authority.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1930.) Absent contrary statute, school district officers
may prescribe manner in which fund deposited in depository bank should
be handled. (Gen. St. Minn. 1923, sec. 2836.) (Ib.)
Depositaries—School
fund—Deposit—Terms—Agreement.
(U. S. C. C. A., 1930.) Bank designated as depository of school funds, by
acquiescing in terms of deposit, amounting to agreement regarding disbursements, held bound thereby. (Gen. St. Minn. 1923, sec. 2836.)(Officials of school district followed custom of combining in one instrument warrants of district with check of treasurer, thereby disbursing all
funds only upon such instrument when signed by three officials, namely,
chairman, clerk, and treasurer. When bank became depository, it was
advised in writing that no funds should be disbursed, except upon warrant
or check bearing signature of such officials.) (Ib.)
Depositaries—School
fund—Deposit—Instructions—Authority.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1930.) Bank designated as depository of school funds,
having been advised by clerk of terms of deposit, can not subsequently
contend board's instructions were unauthorized.
(Bank, when it accepted deposit, had right to and should have presumed
that such instructions were regularly authorized. Record also disclosed
that board regularly approved action of clerk, and deposit was received
and accepted upon terms set forth in instructions given by clerk.) (Ib.)
Subrogation—School
Surety.
fund—Misapplication—Knowledge—Evidence—Sufficiency-
(U. S. C. C. A. 1930.) Evidence in suit by school treasurer's surety to be
subrogated to district's rights against bank held to show bank had knowledge of treasurer's default.
(Defendant bank had been designated as depository of school district
funds. Treasurer defaulted and absconded, and surety duly paid full
amount of defalcation, and, claiming to be subrogated to rights of school
district, sought reimbursement from bank on ground that it had wrongfully aided such defalcation or had cashed checks with knowledge that
sums paid would be misapplied.) (Ib.)

Subrogation—School treasurer's
bond—Surety—Defalcation—Payment.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1930.) School treasurer's surety having paid defalcation held
subrogated to rights of school district against depository bank aiding
wrongdoer.
(School district acknowledged payment by surety and ceded to surety
all of its rights against depository bank. Bank having paid irregular
checks with knowledge of their misapplication, its equities are neither
superior nor equal.) (Ib.)
Subrogation—School
treasurer—Bond—Surety—Laches—Estoppel—Evidence.
(XL S. C. C. A. 1930.) Subrogation suit by school treasurer's surety
against depository bank held not barred by laches or estoppel under facts
showing discovery of defalcations.
(School authorities had no knowledge of defalcations of treasurer until
about time he absconded, and it did not appear that they at any time owed
any duty to check up on his transactions.) (Ib.)
APPLICATION OF DEPOSIT ON CLAIM
Set-off and counterclaim—Real debt, as between persons with mutual account, is
difference between two accounts.
(U. S. D. C. 1930.) Where two persons have dealings out of which each
becomes indebted to the other, and they have what are called mutual
accounts, and respective debts are of a like kind, and each due and payable,
the real debt of one to the other is difference between two accounts.
(Charles A. Eaton Co. v. Louis Mark Shoes, Inc., 37 Fed. Rep. (2d series),
715.)
Set-off and counterclaim—Right of set-off is purely statutory.
(U. S. D. C. 1930.) Right of set-off as between mutual accounts, or to
defalk one account against the other, is purely statutory. (Ib.)

(U. S. D. C. 1930.) Defenses of payment, payment with leave and set-off
are, under present practice, set up through a counterclaim. (Ib.)
Relation of bank and depositor under Pennsylvania law is that of debtor and creditor.
(U. S. D. C. 1930.) Under the law of Pennsylvania, the relation between
bank and depositor is that of debtor and creditor, the bank being debtor
and depositor creditor. (Ib.)
On demand by depositor for balance of deposit, bank had right to appropriate account
to payment of its debt.
(U. S. D. C. 1930.) On demand of depositor for balance of deposit, bank had
right to appropriate account to payment of its debt, which was payable on
demand, regardless of whether there had been a waiver or withdrawal of
previous demand for payment, which, under law of Pennsylvania, would
not of itself deprive bank of right to set off its debt. (Ib.)
Receivers—Equity receivers represent court, have no authority outside jurisdiction,
and have only defendant's rights.
(U. S. D. C. 1930.) Equity receivers are no more than the hand"of the court,
to take assets of defendant into possession and hold them, subject to such
disposition as court may decree, and they have no existence outside of the
jurisdiction of their appointment, and even within that jurisdiction can,
generally speaking, enforce no rights against third persons, other than
those defendant himself could have asserted. (Ib.)
Bank deposit, though ultimately found to belong to bank as set-off, must during
receivership be in possession of court.
(U. S. D. C. 1930.) In case of receivership, though deposit of defendant in
bank may ultimately be found to belong to bank as set-off against its debt,
and may be so awarded, it must in the meantime be in possession of court.
(Ib.)
REPORT OF THE COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY

Bills and notes—Bank, accepting payments on demand note after demand or payment, did not waive rights or withdraw demand made; "waiver."
(U. S. D. C. 1930.) Acceptance by bank of payments on demand note after
demand for payment did not justify finding that bank waived any of its
rights, or withdrew demand made, since mere withholding of enforcement
of its right to payment was not a "waiver" of anything. (Ib.)
Receivers had no equity relative to bank deposit by reason of bank's failure to appropriate balance to payment of debt until after appointment of receivers.
(U. S. D. C. 1930.) Receivers had no equity as to bank deposit by reason
of failure of bank to appropriate balance to payment of its debt until after
appointment of receivers, since all that court took under its control by
virtue of receivership was a chose in action to be enforced against bank.
(Ib.)
SPECIAL DEPOSITS
Director of insolvent bank held not entitled to recover out of bank's assets value of
bonds stolen from bank by employee.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1930.) Director of insolvent bank held not entitled to recover
out of bank's assets value of bonds stolen from bank by employee.
(Even if bank held bonds, which plaintiff held as trustee for himself for
life with remainder in others, as bailee and was negligent, such negligence
consisted in failure of directors, including plaintiff, to exercise proper care
in selecting employees or in failing to discover that one of them was dishonest.) (Johnson v. National Bank of Franklin et al., 41 Fed. Rep. (2.d
series) 364.)
CERTIFICATE OF DEPOSIT
Courts—Holding of court of appeals as to authority of bank cashier not in conflict
with Supreme Court decisions.
(Mo. Sup. 1925.) Holding of court of appeals that Revised Statutes, 1919,
section 11752, prohibiting bank cashier from issuing bills payable without
consent of directors did not apply to certificate of deposit, held not in
conflict with decisions of Supreme Court; the question never having been
decided. (State ex rel. Cole et al. v. Trimble et al., Judges, 269 S. W.
Rep. 959.)
Courts—Holding that title of transferee of certificate of deposit payable to trustee was
for jury not in conflict with decision of Supreme Court.
(Mo. Sup. 1925.) The holding of the court of appeals that, where certificate
of deposit was issued to payee as trustee and purchased on his indorsement on statement that he was short of funds, there being no evidence of
existence of trust or any beneficiary, question whether he acquired title
was for jury, held not in conflict with any decision of the Supreme Court,
especially in view of Revised Statutes, 1919, section 13426, and negotiable
instruments act. (Rev. St., 1919, sees. 811, 817, 818, 830, 837, 838, 842,
and 843.) (Ib.)
Bills and notes—Courts—Court's certificate of deposit payable in current funds held
negotiable; decision as to negotiability not in conflict with Supreme Court decision;
"currency."
(Mo. Sup. 1925.) Certificate of deposit payable in current funds held
negotiable, and decision to that effect by court of appeals not in conflict
with any decision of Supreme Court conditions under which rule that payment in "currency" rendered instrument not negotiable being no longer
pertinent, especially in view of Revised Statutes, 1919, section 793; "currency" meaning anything in general lawful use as money and accepted
as such without discount. White and Woodson, JJ., dissenting. (Ib.)
INSURANCE OF DEPOSITS
Insurance of deposits.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1930.) Certificate of deposit, though in effect becoming
demand certificate on due date, was not covered by bond guaranteeing
deposit of account subject to check.
(The bond as finally executed was on condition that bank receiving
deposit should promptly pay over on proper legal order such cash and

during term of bond in an account subject to check, together with the
balance of cash or cash items to the credit of obligee at beginning of
term.) (Clarksburg Trust Co. v. Commercial Casualty Ins. Co., 40
Fed. Rep. (2d series) 626.)
Insurance of deposits.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1930.) Bond given to secure deposit generally will be held
to secure deposits for which interest-bearing certificates have been
issued. (Ib.)
Insurance of deposits.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1930.) General language of bond in case of compensated
surety will be construed most strongly against company issuing it. (Ib.)
Insurance of deposits.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1930.) Certificate of deposit, forwarded for collection, was

(U. S. C. C. A. 1930.) Bond of compensated surety is construed by court

Reformation of instruments.
(U. S. C C. A. 1930.) Complaint alleging facts showing that parties were
mistaken as to effect of language used in bond was sufficient to warrant

Courts.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1930.) Court has power of its own motion to transfer cause
to equity and send it back for hearing in accordance with equitable rights
of parties. (Jud. Code, sec. 274 (a) (28 U. S. C. A., sec. 397.)
(Although Judicial Code, sec. 274 (a), act March 3, 1915, 38 Stat. 956
(28 U. S. C. A., sec. 397), authorizing amendment to pleadings in case of
suit brought in equity, which should have been brought at law, or suit
at law, which should have been brought in equity, does not abolish distinctions between actions at law and suits in equity, its purpose was
nevertheless to end unseemly practice of turning litigant out of court
because of failure to institute action on proper side.) (Ib.)
Courts.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1930.) Parties by instituting action at law did not elect
between legal and equitable right so as to be estopped from seeking
transfer of cause. (Jud. Code, sec. 274 (a) (28 U. S. C. A., sec. 397).)

ESCHEAT OF DEPOSITS TO STATE
Escheat—Power of legislature to prescribe.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1930.) Legislature has power to prescribe that property
shall escheat on giving preliminary show cause order by publication.
(Territory of Alaska v. First National Bank of Fairbanks, 41 Fed. Rep.
(2d series), 186.)
Escheat—Presumption of intestacy.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1930.) Where no administration has been had after disappearance for 10 years, presumption of intestacy obtains. (Ib.)
Escheat—When heir can not make claim.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1930.) When owner's right escheats by absence, heir is
forcelosed on failure to make claim after giving citation. (Ib.)
Escheat—When Territory became entitled to bonds by escheat.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1930.) Territory became entitled to bonds by escheat, on
proof owner had not been heard from for 10 years, and that no claim was
made by heirs in response to published citation.
(The owner deposited war-savings certificates and United States bonds in
bank in 1918, and then disappeared. The bank endeavored without success
to locate the depositor during the last two years preceding the trial and
made inquiries at post office and probate court. An order to show cause
described the property and stated that it had escheated to the Territory of
Alaska, described the depositary, and the time for hearing, and admonished
all persons to appear and make claim or show cause why escheat should
not be decreed.) (Ib.)
Escheat—Presumption that decedent leaves next of kin is rebutted by deceased's
absence for 10 years without probate proceedings.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1930.) Presumption that decedent leaves next of kin is
rebutted by deceased's absence for 10 years without probate proceedings,
and by default in asserting claim, after show cause order. (Ib.)
ACTIONS BY DEPOSITORS
Insolvency—Certificate of deposit—A ciion—Petition—Sufficiency.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1930.) Substituted petition, in action on certificate of deposit
issued by bank prior to receivership, held sufficient to state cause of action.
(Substituted petition infirstcount set out certificate of deposit, and alleged
that name of bank of deposit was stamped on instrument over part of
printed words constituting name of another savings bank. Second count
of petition alleged circumstances under which deposit was made, including
preliminary negotiations, in order to shed further light on dubious document.) (Deutschle v. Wilson et al., 39 Fed. Rep. (2d series), 406.)
Evidence—Contracts—Ambiguity—Preliminary negotiations.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1930.) Where contract is ambiguous, preliminary negotiations may be considered in determining their true intent. (Ib.)
Contracts—Written portion—Printed portion—Inconsistency—Construction.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1930.) Where written and printed parts of contract are
apparently inconsistent, or there is reasonable doubt as to meaning
written words will control. (Ib.)
Contracts—" Written portion11—Printed portion—Construction.

EXCHANGE
Liability of writer of letter of credit.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1930.) Writer of letter of credit is liable to addressee, paying

National Bank of St. Louis, 40 Fed. Rep. (2d series), 2.)
Equities in favor of beneficiary afford no defense.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1930.) Equities, in favor of beneficiary of letter of credit,
afford no defense to issuer of letter against addressee paying money on
faith thereof. (Ib.)
Estoppel.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1930.) Equitable estoppel requires false representation knowingly made to party not having means of knowledge and relying thereon

Foreign bank cashing drafts payable in dollars not agreeing to accept kronen in payment not estopped to deny payment.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1930.) Foreign bank, cashing drafts payable in dollars on

held not estopped to deny payment against issuer of letter.
(American bank issued letter of credit to resident of Austria and Austrian
bank cashed resident's drafts on basis of letter of credit, drafts being payable in dollars. On demand for payment, resident tendered payment in

available to United States bank at Warsaw bank on June 6.
(The reply cable was confirmed by letter stating: "We informed you that
we sold * * * three million (3,000,000) Polish marks, at the rate of
60, value June 6th," and "instructed you to remit the amount to the
Polish State Loan Bank, Warsaw, to be placed to the credit of the bank of
United States." Subsequently, the Swiss bank wrote to the American
bank: "We * * * enclose our exchange of cables * * * according to which you sold for our account," and later, "with reference to
our letter * * * regarding your sale for our account," but, in letters
after dispute arose, spoke of transaction as "our sale to you," and alleged

in answer to American bank's complaint praying restitution of amount
paid that transaction was "a purchase by the plaintiff from the defendant
* * * of foreign exchange.") (American Union Bank v. Swiss Bank
Corporation, 40 Fed. Rep. (2d series), 446.)
Contract was not fulfilled when marks were not delivered to Warsaw bank until four
days after time for performance of contract.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1930.) Swiss bank, whose correspondent bank did not
transmit Polish marks, purchased by American bank, to Warsaw bank, at
which Swiss bank agreed to make them available to another American
bank, nor notify Warsaw bank that correspondent bank was holding them
for it, until four days after time for performance, did not fulfill contract.
(Ib.)
Words " sixty value June 6" in American bank's cable related not to time interest
began to run but to time for establishment of credit for United States bank at Warsaw
bank.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1930.) Words "60 value June sixth" in American bank's
cable to Swiss bank, "sold three million Warsaw 60 value June sixth pay
Polskakasa account Bank United States," held to relate, not to time interest
began to run, but to time for establishment of credit for United States
bank at Warsaw bank. (Ib.)
Law of State wherein money was paid by American bank for Polish marks governed
in determining time for performance.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1930.) Law of State wherein money was paid by American
bank for Polish marks, which Swiss bank agreed to make available to third
bank at Warsaw bank, governed in determining time for performance in
American bank's action for restitution. (Ib.)
Swiss bank placing correspondent bank in funds without instructing correspondent
to do more than pay money to the Swiss bank's account failed to form contract.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1930.) Swiss bank, merely placing correspondent bank in
funds to establish credit for American bank, as directed by another American bank, without instructing correspondent to do more than pay money
to Swiss bank's account, failed to perform contract. (Ib.)
Warsaw bank at which American bank directed Swiss bank to make Polish marks
available was not agent of purchasing bank.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1930.) Warsaw bank, at which American bank directed
Swiss bank to make Polish marks, purchased by American bank, available
to another American bank, held not purchasing bank's agent, whose failure
to set up credit must be imputed to such bank. (Ib.)
Evidence—Custom—Admissibility.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1930.) Questions as to custom of banks to charge account of
customer for foreign exchange, held properly excluded. (Aachen &
Munich Fire Insurance Co. v. Guaranty Trust Co. of New York, 39 Fed.
Rep. (2d series), 578.)
Customs and usages—Evidence—Foreign exchange—Failure to transmit—Recovery
of consideration.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1930.) Evidence of custom did not establish that debit of
depositor's account for transmissal of marks was final, so that cause of
action for consideration accrued at that time without completed transfer.
(Plaintiff sued to recover amount charged against plaintiff's account as
purchase price of a wireless transfer of marks to Germany, which were
never rendered available to plaintiff, wherein defendant pleaded custom
of banks dealing in foreign exchange to charge account of purchasers on day
of transfer and to treat such charge as final, whether transfer was subsequently completed abroad. Defendant attempted to show that under
such custom the debit to plaintiff's account was final and that, because
plaintiff thereafter no longer stood in position of customer, right of action
to recover the consideration accrued upon the failure to transmit the marks
rather than after demand for payment as in case of bank deposit.) (Ib.)
Depositor—Status—Termination.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1930.) Termination of status as depositor requires some act
by bank, at request of customer, prejudicing rights of former. (Ib.)

REPORT OF THE COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY
Limitation of actions—Statute of limitations does not run against alien enemy during
war.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1930.) War can only end by treaty of peace between
belligerents, and while war continues, courts of each belligerent are closed
to nationals of the other and statute of limitations will not be permitted
to run against alien enemy. (First Nat. Bank of Pittsburgh v. AngloOesterreichische Bank for Use of Anglo-Austrian Bank, Limited, for Use
of Grouf, 37 Fed. Rep. (2d series), 564.)
Limitation of actions—As regards limitation of actions, signing of treaty of St.
Germain in 1919 did not terminate war with Austria.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1930.) As regards statute of limitations, signing of treaty of
St. Germain in 1919 did not terminate war with Austria, and, even if
effect is given to it by reason of its incorporation into treaty of Vienna,
it did not become effective until ratification of latter treaty on November
8, 1921. (Ib.)
Limitation of actions—As regards limitation of action, joint resolution of Congress
of July 2, 1921, did not terminate war with Austria.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1930.) As regards to statute of limitation, joint resolution of
Congress of July 2, 1921 (42 Stat. 105), did not terminate war with Austria,
since such resolution was not legally binding on Austria, and restoration
of peace can be accomplished only by bilateral treaty. (Ib.)
Limitation of actions—As regards limitation of actions, private rights could not be
affected by nunc pro tune declaration of peace with Austria in 1921.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1930.) Although proclamation by President on November 17,
1921 (42 Stat. 1946), proclaimed peace treaty which had been ratified
November 8, and stated peace was proclaimed as of July 2, 1921, private
rights, including running of statute of limitation, can not be affected by
such nunc pro tune declaration, since treaty itself specified when it should
take effect, and proclamation can not vary terms of treaty. (Ib.)
Courts—In construing limitation statute, Federal court follows rulings of State
Supreme Court.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1930.) In construing statute of limitations, Federal court
will follow rulings of Supreme Court of State. (Ib.)
Limitation of actions—Limitation against action by Austrian bank against American
bank involving settlement of accounts after war held under facts not to begin to run
before August 1, 1921.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1930.) Action by Austrian bank against bank in United
States, brought after close of World War to recover amount received by
defendant from Treasurer of United States pursuant to Alien Property
Custodian's direction, defendant having taken such amount in settlement
of its claim against plaintiff for its kronen balance, held not barred by
limitation, since under facts statute did not begin to run before August 1,
1921. (Ib.)
War—Action by Austrian bank against American bank involving settlement
of
accounts after war held not barred on theory Alien Property Custodian1 s demand
on defendant transferred title, where defendant did not comply with demand. {Trading with the enemy act sec. 9 {50 U. S. C. A.y appendix, sec. 9, note).)
(U. S. C. C. A. 1930.) Action by Austrian bank against bank in United
States to recover amount defendant received pursuant to direction of
Alien Property Custodian, defendant having taken such amount in settlement of its claim against plaintiff for its kronen balance, held not barred
on theory that Alien Property Custodian's demand in April, 1918, had
effect of transferring title to custodian of plaintiff's dollar balance with
defendant, where defendant did not comply with custodian's demand,
since under trading with the enemy act, section 9 (50 U. S. C. A., appendix,
sec. 9, note), payment to custodian is defense only to extent of such payment. (Ib.)
Set-off and counterclaim—Right of set-off depends on fact that debts have mutually
matured. {Practice act, 1915 Pa., sec. IJj. {Pa. Stat. 1920, sec. 17194).)
(U. S. C. C. A. 1930.) Right of set-off depends on fact that debts have
mutually matured and are due and payable in hands of parties for and

Set-off and counterclaim—American bank, not having matured kronen account with

after war representing part of Austrian bank's pre-war-account. (Trading with
the enemy act, sec. 8 (50 U. S. C. A., appendix, sec. 8).)
(U. S. C. C. A. 1930.) After World War, American bank held not entitled
to set-off against its kronen account with Austrian bank amount received
through Alien Property Custodian representing part of Austrian bank's
balance with it, where it had not matured its kronen account in Vienna,
such account not having been matured by outbreak of war, joint resolution of Congress July 2, 1921 (42 Stat. 105), treaty of Vienna of November
8, 1921, nor erection of custody deposit, and defendant not having availed
itself of provisions of trading with the enemy act, section 8 (50 U. S. C. A.,
appendix, sec. 8). (Ib.)
Payment—Only rate at which dollars and kronen can be set off against each other
is rate at time of set-off.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1930.) In settlement of account between Austrian bank and

Federal reserve bank could engage in open market transactions by sale of securities^
fix rediscount rate, and decline to rediscount eligible paper. (12 XJ. S. C. A.t
ch. 8, sees. 353-357.)
(U. S. C. C. A. 1929.) Federal reserve bank held entitled to engage in open
market transactions by the sale of securities, to fix a rediscount rate,
and to decline to discount eligible paper, irrespective of purpose to reduce
volume of broker's loans, since purchases and sales in the open market
are specifically authorized by 12 U. S. C. A., chapter 3, sections 353-357.
(Raichle v. Federal Reserve Bank of New York, 34 Fed. Rep. (2d series),
910.)
Federal reserve bank, subject to Federal Reserve Board's supervision, determines
what will be reasonable discount. (Federal reserve act, 12 XJ. S. C. A., sec. 221
et seq.)
(U. S. C. C. A. 1929.) Under Federal reserve act (12 U. S. C. A., sec. 221
et seq.), it is for the Federal reserve bank, subject to supervision of the
Federal Reserve Board, to determine what will be a reasonable discount.
(Ib.)
Statements as to condition of affairs, such as money shortage, etc., may be made
public by Federal Reserve Board, council, and banks. (Federal reserve act, 12

(U. S. C. C. A. 1929.) Under Federal reserve act (12 U. S. C. A., sec. 221
et seq.), statements as to condition of affairs, such as money shortage
and increased volume of collateral loans, may be made public by the
Federal Reserve Board, the council, and the Federal reserve banks, in
view of provisions for detailed reports on conditions of banks and for
intercommunication between the board and council regarding the general
affairs of the reserve banking system. (Ib.)
Bill alleging conduct of Federal reserve bank causing general reduction of security
prices held insufficient, absent allegation of bad faith or attempt to injure plaintiff.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1929.) Bill by owner of securities to restrain Federal reserve bank from doing various acts in derogation of plaintiff's alleged
rights, alleging that bank had engaged in a course of conduct which has
had for its purpose reduction in the volume of collateral and brokers'
loans, and general reduction of security prices, held insufficient, where it

was nowhere stated that bank had acted in bad faith or had aimed to injure the plaintiff. (Ib.)
Federal reserve bank may sell its securities in open market, fix discount rates, and
refuse to discount eligible paper, though policy may be mistaken. (Federal reserve
act, 12 U. S. C. A., sec. 221 et seq.)
(U. S. C. C. A. 1929.) Under Federal reserve act (12 U. S. C. A., sec. 221
et seq.) a Federal reserve bank may sell its securities in the open market,
fix discount rates which are unreasonably high, or refuse to discount
eligible paper, even though its policy may be mistaken and its judgment
bad. (Ib.)
Bill charging Federal reserve bank and Federal reserve system with causing general
reduction of security prices held dismissible for failure to join Federal Reserve
Board. (12 U. S. C. A., ch. 3, sec. 248 (j).)
(U. S. C. C. A. 1929.) Bill by owner of securities to restrain Federal reserve
bank from doing various acts in derogation of plaintiff's alleged rights,
in that bank and Federal reserve system generally spread propaganda
concerning an alleged money shortage and increasing volume of collateral
loans, thereby causing a general reduction of security prices, held dismissible, under 12 U. S. C. A., ch. 3, sec. 248 (j), for failure to join members of
the Federal Reserve Board as parties. (Ib.)
FORGED OR ALTERED PAPER
Pleading—Affidavit in lieu of demurrer admits only facts well pleaded. (Practice
act Pa., sec. 20 (Pa. St. 1920, sec. 17200).)
(U. S. C. C. A. 1930.) Affidavit of defense filed in lieu of demurrer, in conformity with practice act, Pennsylvania, sec. 20 (act May 14, 1915, P. L.
486 (Pa. St. 1920, sec. 17200)), does not admit facts in plaintiff's statement
which are not well pleaded or not sufficiently pleaded. (Grange Trust Co.
of Huntingdon, Pa., v. American Surety Co. of New York, 37 Fed. Rep.
(2d series), 479.)
Insurance—Where forged name appeared on note as maker and there was no fraud
or mistake, no recovery could be had under policy covering losses from forgery of
indorser's signature.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1930.) Where forged name appears at end of note on face
thereof as one of joint makers, and note was in common form of judgment
note, and there was no allegation of fraud, accident, or mistake as between
parties to suit or to the note, loss resulting from the forgery was not
within forgery and alteration policy covering loss occasioned by payment
of promissory note upon which signature of any indorser shall have been
forged. (Ib.)
Pleading—Allegation in statement that indorser's nam,e was forged held not admitted
by affidavit in lieu of demurrer, where forged name on note appeared that of joint
maker. (Practice act Pa., sec. 20 (Pa. St. 1920, sec. 17200).)
(U. S. C. C. A. 1930.) In action on bankers' blanket forgery and alteration
policy covering loss resulting from forgery of indorser's signature, allegation
in plaintiff's statement to the effect that the forged name was that of
indorser constituted variance from note, and was not admitted by affidavit
of defense in lieu of demurrer, under practice act, Pennsylvania, sec. 20
(act May 14, 1915, P. L. 486 (Pa. St. 1920, sec. 17200)), where the forged
name appeared on the face of the note as that of joint maker, and where
there was no allegation of fraud, accident, mistake, or ambiguity; parol
evidence to alter the meaning of note being inadmissible. (Ib.)
Accommodation note without consideration.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1930.) Plaintiff executing accommodation note without
consideration, to replace note forged in plaintiff's name, held entitled to
cancellation of note in hands of bank's receiver.
(Forged note purporting to be signed by plaintiff was placed in assets
of bank, and when it became due president of bank, who was personal
friend of plaintiff, induced plaintiff to execute new note, for which plaintiff
received no credit or other consideration, and president guaranteed plaintiff against liability thereon. Plaintiff issued another note of like tenor
when prior note became due, which came into hands of receiver of bank.
Plaintiff was depositor in bank and carried account therein for companies

GUARANTY
Courts—General finding in favor of plaintiff, supported by evidence, was not reviewable in appellate court. {28 V. S. C. A. sec. 879.)
(U. S. C. C. A. 1929.) General finding in favor of plaintiff, supported by
evidence, was not subject to review in circuit court of appeals, under 28
U. S. C. A., section 879. (Nye et al. i\ Chase National Bank, 34 Fed.
Rep. (2d series), 435.)
Contracts—Guaranty held enforceable, though it contained invalid stipulation precluding defense, where such stipulation was unnecessary to plaintiff's case.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1929.) Contract of guaranty held enforceable, though it
contained invalid stipulation that guarantors covenanted that they had
no defense whatever to any action, suit, or proceeding at law or otherwise, since such stipulation was unnecessary to plaintiff's case, and valid
provisions of contract were separate and could be enforced. (Ib.)
Contracts—Agreement will be enforced, though incidentally connected with illegal
transaction, provided plaintiff does not require aid of illegal transaction to
make out case.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1929.) An agreement will be enforced, even if it is incidentally or indirectly connected with an illegal transaction, provided it is
supported by an independent consideration or if plaintiff will not require
aid of illegal transaction to make out his case. (Ib.)

Payment of depositors and creditors in usual and ordinary course of business is

(U. S. C. C. A. 1930.) Payment of depositors and creditors in usual and
ordinary course of business constitutes controlling factor in determining
solvency of bank, regardless of fact that at some time in the future some
of the assets may possibly be made available and debts paid. (Cronkleton v. Ebmeier, 38 Fed. Rep. (2d series), 748.)

REPORT OF THE COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY
Insolvency of bank is question of fact.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1930.) Whether or not a bank is insolvent constitutes a
question of fact. (Ib.)
. Evidence sustained finding that bank was insolvent at time of receiving deposit.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1930.) Evidence in suit to establish deposit as a preferred
claim against insolvent bank held to sustain finding that bank was insolvent at time deposit was received. (Ib.)
Knowledge of bank}s insolvency on part of officers may be shown by circumstances.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1930.) Knowledge of insolvency of bank on part of officers
may be shown by circumstances without violating rule as to presuming
fraud, in that there is some responsibility on officers and directors of 3
bank to know its financial condition. (Ib.)
Evidence sustained finding that officers of bank had knowledge, at time of receiving
deposit, that bank was insolvent.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1930.) Evidence, in suit to establish deposit as a preferred
claim against insolvent bank, held sufficient to sustain finding that managing officers and directors of bank, at time of receiving deposit, knew
that bank was insolvent. (Ib.)
ACTIONS BY RECEIVERS
COLLECTIONS OF ASSETS BY
RECEIVERS
Receiver of insolvent bank stands in no better position than bank stood in collecting
notes.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1930.) Receiver of insolvent bank stands in no better
position than bank stood as going concern as respects right to collect on
accommodation notes. (Andresen v. Kaercher, 38 Fed. Rep. (2d series),
462.)
Neither bank nor receiver could collect on accommodation notes on theory purpose
was to deceive examiner.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1930.) Neither bank nor its receiver could collect on accommodation notes on theory that there was purpose to deceive examiner,
since court will not lend its assistance in any way towards carrying out
illegal contract, nor will it enforce any alleged rights directly springing
from such contract. (Ib.)
Evidence—Bank which continued as going concern for two years after entering contract is presumed solvent when contract was executed.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1930.) Where bank continued to be going concern for two
years after entering contract under which accommodation notes were
given, its solvency at time contract was executed must be presumed.
(Ib.)
Bank as going concern could take real estate in collecting debts.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1930.) As going concern, bank had full power to collect
debts, and officers could take real estate for this purpose, especially where
reasonable equity in land over incumbrances was nearly double amount
of debt. (Ib.)
Bills and notes—Bank can not enforce accommodation notes executed without consideration.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1930.) Notes executed to bank without consideration and
solely for accommodation can not be enforced if remaining in hands of
bank. (Ib.)
Trial—Where facts are admitted or undisputed and only one conclusion can be
drawn, court must declare that conclusion to jury.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1930.) Where facts are admitted or are undisputed, and
are such that reasonable men can draw but one conclusion from them,
it is duty of court to declare that conclusion to jury. (Ib.)
Trial—Court must instruct verdict where contrary verdict would have to be set aside.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1930.) Where situation is such that, if contrary verdict
were reached, court would be compelled to set it aside, it is duty of court
to instruct verdict. (Ib.)
REPORT OF THE COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY
185
Bills and notes—In action on accommodation notes, testimony respecting want of
consideration held admissible.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1930.) In action on notes, admission of testimony of defendants as to want of consideration for notes sued on, which were accommodation notes, and as to value of land transferred in payment of
debts, at time accommodation notes were given, held not error. (Ib.)
SALE OF ASSETS BY RECEIVERS
National bank—Liquidation—Sale of assets—Court's power.
(U. S. D. C. 1930.) Court's power respecting sale of assets of national
bank in liquidation by receiver extends no further than to order sale
made on terms and grant or refuse confirmation of sale made and to it
reported. (12 U. S. C. A., sec. 192.)
(12 TJ. S. C. A., sec. 192, provides that receiver in charge of liquidation
of national bank may, on the order of a court of record of competent
jurisdiction, sell all the real and personal property of such banking association on such terms as the court shall direct.) (In re First National
Bank of Billings, 39 Fed. Rep. (2d series), 663.)
National bank—Liquidation—Order of sale—Time.
(U. S. D. C. 1930.) Court order directing sale of assets of national bank
in liquidation must precede sale by receiver. (12 U. S. C. A., sec. 192.)
(Ib.)
National bank—Liquidation—Reopening bids.
(U. S. D. C. 1930.) Bids for assets of national bank in liquidation could
not be reopened for a trifling advance of less than one-half of 1 percent
to creditors. (Ib.)
ACTIONS AGAINST RECEIVERS
Removal of causes—Action against receiver of national bank having to do with winding
up of affairs is removable to Federal court. (28 U. S. C. A., sees. J^l (16), 71.)
(TJ. S. C. C. A. 1929.) An action against the receiver of national bank
having to do with winding up of affairs of such bank is within Federal
jurisdiction in accordance with provisions of 28 U. S. C. A., section 41 (16),
and removable from State court by virtue of section 71. (Fleming et al. v.
Gamble, 37 Fed. Rep. (2d series), 72.)
Corporations—Those claiming note executed by corporation was ultra vires had
burden of proof.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1929.) Note executed by corporation was presumably a
valid act, with burden on those attacking it as ultra vires of pleading and
proving facts showing it to be beyond powers of corporation. (Ib.)
Corporations—Courts will not grant relief concerning note executed by corporation
after payment thereof.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1929.) Where note executed by corporation was paid and
transaction closed, courts will not grant relief concerning it on ground it
was ultra vires. (Ib.)
Pleading—Judgment on pleadings insufficient to sustain different judgment is
generally proper.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1929.) Generally a judgment on the pleadings is proper,
where they are insufficient to sustain a different judgment. (Ib.)
Pleading—Well-pleaded allegations by opposite party are to be taken as true in
determining judgment on pleadings.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1929.) Allegations made by opposite party, in so far as
they are well pleaded, are to be taken as true in determining whether
judgment on pleadings should be entered. (Ib.)
Bills and notes—Bank's payment of note executed by stockholders was sufficient
consideration for note of accommodation maker to bank.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1929.) Payment by bank of note executed by stockholders
as guaranty of payment was sufficient consideration to bind accommodation maker on note, regardless of whether there was direct consideration
to maker. (Ib.)
186
REPORT OF THE COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY
Bills and notes—Accommodation note is binding, where consideration is given to
another party.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1929.) An accommodation note is binding obligation, where
consideration was given to another party, regardless of whether there was
direct consideration between parties thereto. (Ib.)
PREFERENCES IN INSOLVENCY
Bank selling note and mortgage, paid for by check on another bank, became trustee,
obligated to preserve intact and account to customer for trust fund.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1930.) Bank selling note and mortgage to customer, who
paid amount thereof by check on another bank, was not such customer's
creditor, as in case of ordinary depositors, but a trustee, owing obligation
to preserve trust fund intact and account to customer therefor. (Blumenfeld v. Union Nat. Bank of Beloit, Kans., et al., 38 Fed. Rep. (2d series),
455.)
One claiming preference for amount paid insolvent bank for note and mortgage
wrongfully appropriated by it was bound to trace fund into assets or specific
property held by receiver.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1930.) It was incumbent on one claiming preference against
assets of bank in hands of receiver for amount paid bank for note and
mortgage wrongfully appropriated by it to trace fund into assets taken
over by receiver or some specific property held by him by proof that fund
was kept by bank in cash or substituted property at all times after its
receipt and not dissipated. (Ib.)
Insolvent bank, in which sufficient amount remains to cover trust fund, is presumed
to have made authorized payments from other funds.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1930.) Where sufficient amount remains in insolvent bank
to cover a trust fund, it is presumed that bank first made payments it had
right to make from other funds in disposing of its money from time to
time. (Ib.)
To establish preference, it is insufficient to trace trust fund into insolvent bank and
show that its cash or equivalent on its failure exceeded claim.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1930.) To establish a preference against an insolvent bank's
assets for a trust fund, it is insufficient to trace fund into bank and show
that its cash or equivalent on its failure exceeded beneficiary's claim. (Ib.)
Trusts—Wholly depleted trust fund can not be treated as reappearing in subsequent
accumulations.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1930.) A trust fund, which is wholly depleted at any time,

Trusts—Claimant of trust fund must identify it.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1930.) A claimant of a trust fund has the burden of identifying it. (Ib.)
One purchasing note and mortgage from insolvent bank wrongfully appropriating
them and proceeds of sale of mortgaged land held not entitled to preference, in
absence of evidence of amount remaining in bank from time it acquired fund until
receiver took charge.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1930.) One purchasing note and mortgage from insolvent
bank, which wrongfully appropriated them and turned proceeds from
partition sale of mortgaged land into its assets, held not entitled to preferential payment of amounts paid therefor, in absence of evidence of amount
of money remaining in bank from time it acquired trust fund until receiver
took charge. (Ib.)
Appeal and error—Fact intimated in lower court's opinion, but not appearing in
evidence brought to appellate court, can not be considered.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1930.) A fact not appearing in the evidence brought to the
Circuit Court of Appeals is not entitled to consideration, though intimated
in the opinion of the court below. (Ib.)

Appeal and error—Denial of rehearing to show that amount of insolvent bank1 s credit
in correspondent bank at date of receivership exceeded trust fund held not prejudicial
to owner claiming preference,
(U. S. C. C. A. 1930.) In absence of showing that correspondent bank of
bank in hands of receiver had not disbursed trust fund, which receiver
stated was deposited in former bank, or that owner thereof would be able
to show it had not done so, denial of rehearing to receive evidence as to
greater amount of insolvent bank's credit in correspondent bank at date
of receivership was not prejudicial to owner claiming preference against
insolvent bank's assets for amount of such fund. (Ib.)
Claim against bank as trustee is established if credits can be traced to receiver.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1930.) In proceeding to impress trust on funds of insolvent
bank, it is not necessary to trace coin or currency belonging to claimant,
but it is sufficient if credits can be traced into receiver's hands. (Washington Loan & Banking Co. v. Fourth National Bank of Macon et al, 38
Fed. Rep. (2d series), 772.)
Proceeds of drafts sent bank for collection were sufficiently traced into receiver's
hands, where credited by correspondent and no withdrawals had been made.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1930.) If proceeds of drafts sent to insolvent bank for
collection and transmitted by it to other bank went into general account
of insolvent bank with its correspondents and had not been withdrawn,
customer bank seeking to establish trust on funds of insolvent bank as to
proceeds of the drafts sufficiently traced proceeds into hands of insolvent
bank's receiver, so that receiver was required to account. (Ib.)
Contract determines relationship of bank to draft turned over to it.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1930.) Relationship of bank to draft or check turned over
to it by customer depends on their contract respecting it, and contract may
appear in form of indorsement or otherwise. (Ib.)
Bills and notes—Notice is earned to all persons dealing with paper of contract
between customer and bank only if contract appears from indorsement.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1930.) If contract between bank and customer turning over
draft or check is in form of indorsement, notice is carried to all persons
dealing with the paper, but otherwise not. (Ib.)
Statute and banking customs may influence contract between customer and bank.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1930.) Contract between bank and customer turning over
paper to bank may be influenced or controlled by statute and local and
general banking customs. (Ib.)
Bank indorsing drafts in blank, with letter to another bank stating indorsement was
for collection and credit or prompt return if unpaid, made collecting bank agent
and became general creditor only when proceeds were made available to it.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1930.) Where bank sending drafts to another bank for
collection sent letter which stated that each draft was indorsed for collection first and for credit after its collection or prompt return if unpaid,
ownership of drafts remained in the customer bank, and collecting bank
and its correspondents were merely agents for collection, and agency
ceased and relationship of general depositor began only when collection
had been made and the collecting bank, having the proceeds of drafts
made available to it, in turn made them available to its customer by passing them to customer's checking account, and fact that drafts were indorsed in blank and were immediately posted to credit of customer bank
did not create debtor-creditor relation prior to effecting the collection.
(Ib.)
Where correspondent made proceeds of drafts immediately subject to check, collecting bank after reasonable time for notice must permit checking against fund by
customer.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1930.) Bank to which drafts were sent for collection, which
sent them on to correspondent bank where proceeds were thereafter subject
to check, was bound, after reasonable time for notice of draft's collection
or its return in default of collection, to assume that collection had been
made and to permit checking by customer bank, in determining whether
funds collected were held in trust for customer bank on insolvency of
collecting bank. (Ib.)
188
REPORT OF THE COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY
Customer had preferred claim for drafts sent bank for collection where drafts were
collected but proceeds were not made available to bank.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1930.) Where collections on drafts sent bank were not made
available to bank because of failure to notify correspondent of bank, the
collections were incomplete and the drafts sent to the bank for credit, if
collected, remained the property of bank's customer, giving customer
right to preferred claim against bank for proceeds. (Ib.)
Customer sending drafts to bank for collection which transmitted them to correspondent, receiving credit, became general depositor as to collections, compeleted in
sufficient time to notify bank before its failure.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1930.) Where bank to which drafts were sent for collection
in turn sent them to correspondent where proceeds were entered to credit
of first bank and subject to its check, collections, made in sufficient time
for notice to have been given first bank before its failure, became general
deposits of customer, precluding claim against bank's receiver for preference, unless by earlier knowledge of bank's insolvency officers were precluded from accepting such proceeds as deposits. (Ib.)
Assignments—Where drawer bank closed before drawee bank opened letter containing
check, receiver was entitled to funds as against payee.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1929.) Where claimant had on deposit with bank, which
later closed, more than $4,000, and requested bank to transmit $4,000 to
its deposit account in C. bank, and bank mailed check on C. bank, as
requested, for credit to claimant's account, but first bank closed before
C. bank opened letter containing check, receiver of closed bank was
entitled to sum C. bank paid into court as against claimant, since claimant,
as payee of check, could have no right of action on it against C. bank until
latter had accepted it. (Wrightsville & T. R. Co. v. Citizens' & Southern
National Bank et al.; Whitman v. Bragg, Millsaps & Blackwell, Inc.,
36 Fed. Rep. (2d series), 736.)
Assignments—Where draft was to be paid from special funds, and drawee traced
proceeds into collecting bank receiver's hands, proceeds belonged to drawer.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1929.) B., principal of drawee of claimant's draft, drew
draft in order to provide funds with which to pay claimant's draft, and
gave collecting bank check for amount of draft. After payment of B.'s
draft was received by F. bank, collecting bank accepted B.'s check for
amount of claimant's draft and mailed its own check to claimant for like
amount, but failed before check was paid. Claimant showed that proceeds of his draft, at time of collecting bank's failure, were in F. bank,
and that it subsequently came into hands of collecting bank's receiver.
Held that, since circumstances showed collecting bank treated proceeds of
B.'s draft as special funds out of which claimant's draft was to be paid,
there was equitable assignment, and money belonged to claimant. (Ib.)
Equity—Doctrine of equitable assignment rests on maxim that equity regards as
done that which should be done, and under doctrine effect will be given intention of
parties to contract to make particular property security for debts.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1929.) Doctrine of equitable assignment or liens rests on
maxim that equity regards as done that which ought to be done, and under
it effect will be given to intention of parties to contract to make some
particular property or fund security for debt or other obligation. (Early
& Daniel Co. v. Pearson; Pearson v. Summey & Tolson; Farmers' National
Bank of Monticello et al. v. Pearson, 36 Fed. Rep. (2d series), 732.)
Assignments—To make equitable assignment doctrine applicable, fund must be
identified or capable of identification.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1929.) In order to make doctrine of equitable assignment
or liens applicable, it is necessary that property or fund be identified or
rendered capable of identification. (Ib.)
Assignments—It is sufficient if property is in existence during time within which
equitable assignment may operate.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1929.) It is not essential, in order to make doctrine equitable
assignment or liens applicable, that property or fund be in existence at
time contract was made, but it is sufficient if it is in existence during time
within which assignment may operate. (Ib.)

Trusts—Cestui que trust has right to property mingled with trustee's property, which
may be identified in original or substituted form.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1929.) Right of cestui que trust to property which has
become mingled with trustee's property continues to exist so long as it is
possible to identify property of cestui que trust, either in original or
substituted form, but ceases to exist, and trust is destroyed, when trust
property has become so intermingled with general property of trustee
that it can no longer be traced and identified, and, in case of an insolvent
trustee, cestui que trust occupies no better position than that of general
creditor. (Ib.)
Assignments—Check does not constitute equitable assignment pro tanto of indebtedness owing by bank.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1929.) Check drawn in ordinary form does not, as between
maker and payee, constitute equitable assignment pro tanto of indebtedness owing by bank on which check has been drawn. (Ib.)
Assignments—Where parties agree check should be satisfied out of specified fund,
equity court will carry agreement into effect against drawer, volunteers, and parties
charged with notice.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1929.) Where, in transaction connected with delivery of
check, it was understanding and agreement of parties that advance about
to be made should be charge on and be satisfied out of specified fund,
court of equity will lend its aid to carry such agreement into effect as
against drawer of check, mere volunteers, and parties charged with
notice. (Ib.)
Where bank mingled proceeds of draft with general mass of unidentified bank funds,
drawer had no preferred claim.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1929.) Where drawer sent draft for collection to bank,
which later closed, and draft contained provision that funds obtained
through collection should not be commingled with other funds of collecting
bank, but proceeds of draft were mingled with and became part of general
mass of unidentified funds of bank, drawer's claim was no better than
that of general creditor. (Ib.)
Where proceeds of draft were traceable into balance another bank paid to collecting
bank's receiver, drawer could recover amount of draft from receiver.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1929.) Where drawer sent draft to bank, which later closed,
for collection and remittance to another bank for drawer's credit, and
drawee gave in payment of draft his check on C bank, and proceeds of
draft were traceable into balance with C bank, after collecting bank's
failure, paid to receiver, receiver came into possession of identified fund,
which belonged, not to failed bank, but to drawer, and he was entitled to
judgment against receiver for amount of draft thus obtained. (Ib.)
Assignments—Where M bank, later closing, agreed with depositing banks to arrange
with reserve bank to credit their checks to their reserve accounts immediately and
charge M bank's reserve account, there was equitable assignment.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1929.) Where M bank, which later closed, agreed with
depositing banks to make arrangements with Federal reserve bank to
credit all checks of depositing banks drawn on it to reserve account of
drawer, and charge them to reserve account of M bank immediately on
receipt of such checks by Federal reserve bank, and agreed to maintain on
deposit with Federal reserve bank sufficient funds to cover checks of depositing banks, and Federal reserve bank agreed to such plan, and at time
of M bank's failure it had on deposit with Federal reserve bank sufficient
funds to pay checks of depositing banks, there was an equitable assignment to such banks of funds of M bank in Federal reserve bank at time
of M bank's failure. (Ib.)
Holder of cashier's check not entitled to preference where bank refused payment
because of insolvency.
(U. S. D. C. 1930.) Holder of cashier's check held not entitled to preference
where bank refused payment because of insolvency. (The holder of the
check and the bank were in the relation of debtor and creditor, but preference would have been given to company which made deposit and received
cashier's check in return because bank was insolvent at the time with the
190

knowledge of two vice presidents whose fraud caused the insolvency and
whose knowledge became the knowledge of the bank.)
General rule is cashier's check is merely evidence of debt of bank, and
holder is not entitled to preference on bank's insolvency before check is
cashed. (Charleroi Supply Co. v. Kelly, 40 Fed. Rep. (2d series), 297.)
Claimants held to have only partially traced trust funds, as against receiver representing general creditors of insolvent national bank; claimants tracing trust funds
held entitled to preference, as against receiver representing general creditors of
insolvent national bank.
(Neb. Sup. 1929.) Evidence examined, and held, that claimants, as against
the defendant receiver representing the general creditors of an insolvent
national bank, have traced "trust funds" involved in this controversy,
to the extent of $2,520.73 only, into assets coming into the possession and
under the control of such receiver, and that they are entitled, as to such
sum, to an order granting them a preference thereto. (Gering, County
Treasurer, v. Buerstetta et al., 223 N. W. Rep. 625.)
Claimants, tracing trust funds after insolvency of national bank, were not entitled to
recover interest.
(Neb. Sup. 1929.) Under the facts in this case, claimants are not entitled
to interest on and after December 14, 1926. (Ib.)
Cashier of insolvent bank, made party to proceeding to establish preference, was
entitled to jury trial. (Const, art. 1, sec. 6.)
(Neb. Sup. 1929.) As to defendant George O. Dovey, the issues in this case
were properly triable by a jury and the court erred in overruling his
application and demand therefor. (Ib.)
Depositor may rescind deposit received by insolvent national bank with knowledge
that it can not pay its debts.
(Neb. Sup. 1929.) Where national bank, being insolvent, receives a deposit
with knowledge that it can not pay its debts and must fail in business,
depositor may rescind for fraud and reclaim the deposit, or its proceeds,
out of funds, if traced into specific assets of insolvent bank coming into
hands of receiver. (Ib.)
Public funds, deposited by county treasurer without authority of law in national
bank, with full knowledge of facts, constitute trust fund.
(Neb. Sup. 1929.) Where public funds, deposited by county treasurer
without authority of law and in express violation of its inhibitions, are
received by a national bank with full knowledge of the facts, they constitute a trust fund, and can be recovered as such. Goss, circuit judge,
and Rose, judge, dissenting. (Ib.)
DEPOSIT OF COUNTY FUNDS
Vice president's authority to obtain county deposit implied authority to pledge notes
by bank to security deposit.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1929.) Where vice president of national bank was expressly
authorized to obtain deposit of county funds, authority carried by necessary implication power to give security necessary to obtain deposit, and
hence pledging of notes held by bank as security for county deposit was
not void because not authorized by directors and beyond powers of vice
president. (Burrowes v. Nimocks, County Treasurer, 35 Fed. Rep.
(2d series), 152.)
Pledge of notes by bank as temporary security for county deposit pending reduction
of deposit to save bond premiums held reasonable exercise of authority to give
security.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1929.) Where vice president of bank was expressly authorized to obtain deposit of county funds and had implied authority to give
security for deposit, pledging of notes by bank as temporary security
pending reduction of deposit so as to save premiums on large bond was
reasonable exercise of authority. (Ib.)

large bond, acquiescence of board of directors of bank in what had been
done when matter was called to their attention at meeting of board was
sufficient ratification of pledge of notes. (Ib.)
Pledge of notes by bank to secure county deposit, which was analogous to call loan by
vice president having inherent authority to obtain loan and pledge notes, held
authorized.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1929.) Active vice president as managing officer of bank
had authority without special authorization to obtain loan to bank and to
pledge notes which it held as security for loan, and hence pledge of notes
to secure county deposit required to be secured by law, which was analogous to call loan to bank rather than ordinary deposit, was not void as
beyond powers of vice president. (Ib.)
Executive officer of bank without special authority may rediscount bank's paper or
otherwise borrow money.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1929.) Executive officer of bank may in usual course of
business and without special authority rediscount its paper and otherwise
borrow money for its use. (Ib.)
Setting aside of notes by bank to secure county deposit created equitable pledge between
parties, and subsequent delivery of notes validated pledge against receiver and
persons not acquiring intervening rights.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1929.) Where bank agreed to set aside notes as security for
county deposit until deposit was reduced and bond provided, and notes
were actually set aside and marked in good faith when there was no question as to solvency of bank, and it was agreed that notes should be delivered
to county treasurer on his demand at any time, and bank could withdraw
note only by putting up another of equal value, there was created, before
delivery of notes to county treasurer, an equitable pledge of notes, which
was good in equity between parties, and delivery of notes when occurring
related back to original contract of pledge and rendered it valid at law
between parties and against receiver of bank and persons who had not in
meantime acquired title to or lien on subject of pledge. (Ib.)
Pledge of notes to secure county deposit, made before question of bank's solvency arosey
and completed by delivery to treasurer on bank's insolvency, held valid against
bank's receiver. (12 U. 8. C, A.} sec, 91.)
(U. S. C. C. A. 1929.) Where bank set aside notes as security for county
deposit and agreed to deliver notes to county treasurer on demand, and
could not withdraw note without substituting another of equal value, and
agreement of pledge was made when there was no question as to solvency
of bank, though delivery of notes was made when bank was on verge of
insolvency, county treasurer to whom notes were delivered had equitable
lien on notes, which was good in equity against bank and its receiver, and
was not void under Revised Statutes, section 5242 (12 U. S. C. A., sec.
91), avoiding transfers made in contemplation of insolvency. (Ib.)
Pledges—Pledge requires delivery which need not be contemporaneous with contract,
but, if subsequently made, relates back to contract.
(XL S. C. C. A. 1929.) Pledge is not good at law without delivery, but delivery
need not be contemporaneous with contract of pledge, and, if made subsequently, it relates back to contract and gives it validity. (Ib.)
Statute avoiding preferential transfers in contemplation of insolvency does net constitute receiver purchaser for value or give him lien on property in possession of
insolvent bank. {12 U. S. C. A., sec. 91.)
(U. S. C. C. A. 1929.) Revised Statutes section 5242 (12 U. S. C. A., sec.
91), avoiding preferential transfers made in contemplation of insolvency,
does not constitute receiver purchaser for value or give receiver any lien on
property in possession of insolvent bank, but receiver takes bank subject
to all claims and defenses which might have been asserted against it. (Ib.)
Bankruptcy-lien good between parties, though not against lien creditors for lack of
registration or possession, is valid against trustee in bankruptcy on registration
or taking of possession before bankruptcy. (Bankr. act (11 U. S. C. A.).)

fied as to other property where lien is good as between parties but because
of lack of registration or possession is not good against lien creditors, registration of lien or taking of possession of property before bankruptcy will
render it valid as against trustee in bankruptcy, and will not be held to be
obtaining of a preference. (Ib.)
Creditor of national bank holding lien on securities does not create "preference" by
taking securities. {12 U. S. C. A., sec. 91.)
(U. S. C. C. A. 1929.) Creditor of national bank holding lien on securities
does not create " preference," within meaning of Revised Statutes section

(U. S. C. C. A. 1929.) In case of insolvency, where reliance is placed on
equitable lien, court is under duty to scrutinize evidence with great care.
(Ib.)
Bank pledging notes to secure county deposit must be held to have received general
assets equal to lien on notes.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1929.) Where county funds were deposited and left w^ith
bank on understanding that sufficient notes held by bank were to be assigned
as security for same, bank must be held to have received and retained general assets as result of agreement to pledge notes in amount equal to lien
created on notes. Northcott, circuit judge, dissenting. (Ib.)
Judgment—Pleadings and facts found held to support judgment for bank suing
county for borrowed money.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1929). In action, by bank against county for borrowed
money, pleadings and facts found held to support judgment for bank
where they showed county borrowed money, used it, and had not repaid
it. (State Bank of New York et al. v. Henderson County, Ky., 35 Fed.
Rep. (2d series), 859.)
Appeal and error.—Whether pleadings and facts found support judgment is only
question for review on general exception to findings and conclusions and judgment as whole.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1929.) On exception "to each of the findings of fact, conclusions of law, and to the judgment as a whole" no review question is
open, except question whether pleadings and facts found support judgment. (Ib.)
Appeal and error.—Bill of exceptions showing defendant's motion for judgment
at conclusion of evidence and exception to denial thereof presents reviewable
question.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1929.) Bill of exceptions showing that at conclusion of all
evidence defendant moved for judgment and excepted to denial of its
motion held to present reviewable question. (Ib.)
Counties.—Resolution of fiscal court authorizing execution of note for county carried
authority to include conventional recital that acts were legal.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1929.) Resolution of fiscal court giving authority to execute
note for county would carry authority to make conventional recital that
necessary acts had been done, that note was within debt limit prescribed,
and that faith and credit of county was irrevocably pledged to payment.
(Ib.)
Estoppel.—Where fiscal court by resolution duly signed directed renewal of note
containing recitals that limit of county's indebtedness was not exceeded thereby,
county was estopped to assert defense that constitutional indebtness was exceeded.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1929.) County held estopped to make defense to note on
ground that it exceeded constitutional debt limit, where recitals in notes
declared such limit was not exceeded, regardless of whether county judge
signed resolution of fiscal court authorizing execution of note, where fiscal
court by resolution duly signed directed county judge to renew note, and
renewal note contained same recitals. (Ib.)

Appeal and error.—Refusal of new trial for newly discovered evidence will he reviewed only to determine whether there was clear abuse of discretion.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1929.) Assignment that refusal to grant new trial on ground
of newly discovered evidence was error can be considered only far enough
to determine whether refusal involved clear abuse of discretion. (Ib.)

PRIORITY OF CLAIMS OF THE UNITED STATES
When United States is entitled to priority in payment of claim against insolvent
debtor.
(U. S. D. C. 1930.) United States is entitled to priority in payment of
claim against insolvent debtor, who committed act of bankruptcy, when
estate is in control of liquidating officer. (31 U. S. C. A. sec. 191.)
Revised Statutes, section 3466 (31 U. S. C. A., sec. 191), provides that
whenever any person indebted to the United States is insolvent, debts
due the United States shall be first satisfied, and priority established
shall extend as well to cases in which an act of bankruptcy is committed.
(United States v. Bliss, 40 Fed. Rep. (2d series), 935.)

payment of claim.
(U. S. D. C. 1930.) State bank, though exempt from operation of bank• ruptcy act, may commit act of bankruptcy, thereby giving United States
priority in payment of claims. (31 U. S. C. A., sec. 191.) (Ib.)
Taking over of insolvent uState bank by banking
department and subsequent appointment of receiver held act of bankruptcy11 entitling claims of United States to

(At time Nebraska Department of Trade and Commerce took possession of State bank under Laws Neb. 1923, ch. 191, as amended by Laws
Neb. 1925, ch. 30, bank was insolvent. Bankruptcy act sec. 3 (a), as

STATE BANKS
Appeal and error—Trial court's decision as to legal result flowing from undisputed

(Weicker v. Bromfield, 34 Fed. Rep. (2d series), 377.)
Attorney and client—Knowledge of conditions under which notes in litigation were

Evidence—Undisputed testimony respecting negotiations leading to execution of
notes must be accepted as true, wKere adverse party's officers who participated in
transactions were in court.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1929.) Where testimony of counsel for makers of notes
involved in litigation as to negotiations leading up to agreement under
which notes were executed and delivered was undisputed, though officers
of adverse party who participated in negotiations and transactions were
in the court room, his evidence must be accepted as true. (Ib.)
Agreement modifying previous agreement for bank's taking over assets and assuming
liabilities of insolvent bank merged all prior agreements and fixed rights of parties.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1929.) Where, after national bank took over assets and assumed liabilities of insolvent state bank, officers and directors of which

bank refused to perform conditions on which, notes were delivered to it,
further negotiations were had resulting in agreement, part of which was a
written contract signed by both banks and approved by officers and directors of insolvent bank, modifying original contract and stating further
conditions under which notes were delivered and how makers should be
reimbursed out of criticized securities of insolvent bank, held that said
later agreement merged all prior agreements and alone fixed rights of

Contracts—Party in substantial default may not hold other party to his contract.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1929.) It is fundamental rule of contract law that one party,
itself in substantial default, may not hold the other party to his contract.
(Ib.)
Failure of bank which took over assets of insolvent bank to perform conditions under
which notes of insolvent bank's stockholders and directors were delivered to it
constituted defense to liability on notes.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1929.) Where, after national bank took over assets and assumed liabilities of insolvent State bank, officers and directors of which put
up their individual notes to replenish its assets, and after national bank
refused to perform conditions on which notes were delivered to it, new
contract was made whereby makers ratified delivery of notes to national
bank in consideration of its agreement to deliver to insolvent bank certain
doubtful securities turned over to it by insolvent bank and to deliver to
insolvent bank certain other securities after certain collections thereon
were made, to consult and notify certain persons as to handling of such
securities, and pay all indebtedness of insolvent bank, national bank's
failure to perform any of its agreements and conversion of securities agreed
to be turned over constituted defense to makers' liability on notes. (Ib.)
Makers, by alleging breach of conditions under which notes were delivered and praying
money judgment, abandoned other claims.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1929.) Where makers of notes executed to replenish assets
of insolvent bank, which were taken over by national bank, and who paid
notes, negotiated to purchasers for value before maturity, in litigation
respecting such notes, alleged breach of national bank's agreement and of
conditions under which notes were delivered, and prayed money judgment
for breach of contract, they abandoned any claim to securities of insolvent
bank which national bank agreed to deliver for such notes and were not
entitled to any lien on general assets or any preference over depositors of
national bank on its subsequent insolvency. (Ib.)

Bankruptcy— Banking corporations"—Banking business—Authorization.
(XL S. C. C. A. 1930.) "Banking corporations," as used in bankruptcy law,
means those corporations authorized by laws of their creation to do banking
business (Bankr. act, sec. 4, as amended (11 U. S. C. A. sec. 22)). (Gamble

Bankruptcy—tlBanking business"—Necessary element—Receipt of deposits.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1930.) Necessary element of "banking business" in law excepting banking corporations from bankruptcy is receipt of deposits for
use in business. (Bankr. act, sec. 4, as amended (11 U. S. C. A. sec. 22).)

Bankruptcy—Trust company—State law—Banking corporations.
(TJ. S. C. C. A. 1930.) Trust company organized under State law was not
"banking corporation" within meaning of State law or bankruptcy law,
and was subject to bankruptcy. (Comp. St. Neb. 1922, sees. 7982-8051,
8063-8082; Bankr. act, sec. 4, as amended (11 U. S. C. A. sec. 22).)
(Comp. St. Neb. 1922, sees. 7982-8051, relating to organization, powers,
regulation, and dissolution of banking corporations divides banks into three
classes, commercial banks, cooperative banks, and savings banks, and
clearly shows that some form of deposits was contemplated as integral
part of business of banks. Sections 8063-8082, relating to trust companies and dealing with organization, power, regulation, and dissolution
of such corporations, though conferring most of powers usually exercised
by a bank, expressly forbids any trust company to conduct business of
banking). (Ib.)

its business should be forthwith wound up by the department of trade and
commerce of the State of Nebraska as liquidating agent, subject to orders
of court, as provided by Laws Neb. 1929, ch. 38. Subsequently the trust
company was adjudicated a bankrupt pursuant to petition of creditors
and a receiver appointed, who, after failure to secure delivery of property,
petitioned the bankruptcy court to require the State officer to deliver
property to him.) (Ib.)
Bankruptcy—Liquidating agent—Adverse holder—Summary order.
(U. S. C. C* A. 1930.) Liquidating agent of trust company under State law

REPORT OF THE COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY
Limitation of actions—Action by State bank liquidating national bank to recover

assets and liabilities of national bank placed in voluntary liquidation under
Revised Statutes, sections 5220, 5221 (12 U. S. C. A., sees. 181, 182), and
assets pledged were not of sufficient value to pay indebtedness of national
bank, held that action by State bank to recover such excess indebtedness
is not one to recover for a "statute penalty7' within meaning of 2-year
statute of limitations of Iowa. (Code Iowa, 1927, sec. 11007, par. 3.) (Ib.)
LIQUIDATION OF STATE BANK
Dissolution of bank was not effected as to creditors who failed to receive statutory
notice of dissolution. (CahiU's Rev. St. III. 1929, ch. 16a, sec. 11.)

16a, section 11, providing that, on dissolution of bank, creditors shall be
given notice by advertisement for three consecutive months to present
their claims, was not complied with, dissolution of bank was not effected
as to creditors who failed to receive notice. (Hon v. State Commercial
& Savings Bank et al., 37 Fed. Rep. (2d series), 907.)
Judgment creditor of bank having no notice of dissolution thereof could impress trust
on property in hands of assignee taking over bank's assets and assuming liabilities.
(CahiU's Rev. St. III. 1929, ch. 16a, sec. 11, and ch. 22, sec. 49.)

Equity—Judgment creditor of dissolved bank was not precluded from suing assignee
of bank's assets to establish trust by reason of legal remedy arising from assignee's
promise to pay bank's debts.
(U. S. D. C. 1930.) That assignee of assets of bank on bank's dissolution
promised to pay bank's debts did not prevent judgment creditor of dissolved bank from suing assignee to enforce trust on assets transferred on
ground that there was an adequate legal remedy. (Ib.)
Mortgages—Mortgagee's right to sue solvent mortgage debtor at law does not prevent

Degree of care required by directors,
(U. S. C. C. A. 1930.) Bank directors, in exercise of duties, must use
degree of care which ordinarily prudent and diligent men would exercise
under similar circumstances. (Bourne v. Perkins et al., 42 Fed. Rep.
(2d series) 94.)
202
REPOKT OF THE COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY
National bank directors must exercise ordinary care in managing corporation affairs,
being liable for losses from willful departure from duty, fraudulent breaches oj
trust, gross negligence or ultra vires acts. (12 U. S. C. A. sees. 78, 98.)
(U. S. C. C. A. 1930.) Under Revised Statutes, sections 5147, 5239 (12
U. S. C. A., sees. 73, 93), directors of national bank owe duty of managing
corporation affairs honestly and impartially in behalf of corporation and
stockholders, and, though not liable for losses happening through mere
mistake of judgment, are liable for losses caused by willful and intentional
departure from duty, fraudulent breaches of trust, gross negligence, or
ultra vires acts; measure of care required being ordinary and reasonable
care. (Burckhardt v. Northwestern National Bank et al., Ballin v.
Same, 38 Fed. Rep. (2d series) 568.)
To render national bank directors liable for wrongful acts of other officers, they must
have participated or must be chargeable with culpable negligence. (12 U. 8. C. A.,
sees. 78, 98.)
(U. S. C. C. A. 1930.) To render directors or other officers of national bank
liable to it for fraudulent or wrongful acts of other officers, under Revised
Statutes, sections 5147, 5239 (12 U. S. C. A., sees. 73, 93), they must have
participated therein, or else they must be chargeable with culpable negligence, since director is not, merely by virtue of his position, liable for

receiver thereof for damages for losses sustained by bank under common
law and under national bank act (12 U. S. C. A., sec. 1 et seq.), in which it

conspiracy to gain control of corporation and misappropriate its property
and assets, who in original petition prayed for judgment in favor of herself
and such other stockholders as might be similarly situated, held entitled
to amend petition prior to trial in order to show that interest of defendants
as officers and directors of corporation was adverse to plaintiff and that
demand on corporation to institute proceedings would be useless, and to
further amend prayer by seeking judgment for use and benefit of corporation. (Jacobs v. First National Bank of Shreveport et al., 35 Fed.
Rep. (2d series), 227.)
Pleading—In determining right to amend, petition should be construed as whole in

property as directors by payment to bank in which defendants were
interested, must be brought in equity, and could not be maintained as
action at law. (Ib.)

208
REPORT OF THE COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY
transfer of majority of capital stock through coercion and threats of
receivership, and substituted themselves as directors and proceeded to
misappropriate property for benefit of bank of which they were also
officers, stockholder could maintain suit in equity against such defendants
for use and benefit of corporation without previous demand on corporation
to sue to recover the sums wrongfully misappropriated, since law will not
require one to do a vain and useless thing. (Ib.)
SURVIVAL OF ACTIONS
Bank directors are trustees of implied or resulting trust created by operation of law
on their official relation to bank.
(U. S. D. C. 1928.) National bank directors are not trustees of express
trust, but are trustees of an implied or resulting trust created by operation of law on their official relation to bank. (Schilling v. Parman et al.,
35 Fed. Rep. (2d series), 780.)
Limitation of actions—Statute of limitations does not, while such directors remain in
control, begin to run in favor of bank directors permitting excessive loans. (12

False entries—Two entries on bank's books referring to same transaction held not

(U. S. Sup. 1930.) Under Revised Statutes, section 5209, as amended
(U. S. C , title 12, sec. 592), which punishes any officer of a Federal reserve
or member bank who makes any false entry in any book or report of the
bank with intent to defraud or deceive, etc., two entries on a bank's books
referring to the same transaction, based upon the same draft and which
were the correlated means of accomplishing a single fraud, are not separately punishable as separate offenses. (United States v. Adams, 281
U. S. R. 202.)
Under Revised Statutes, section 5209, offense of making false entry in report of condition of bank is distinct from offense of making false entry on books.
(U. S. Sup. 1930.) The offense under this section of making a false entry in
a report of condition of a bank, showing a credit, is distinct from the
offense of making an earlier false entry on its books, showing the same
credit.
In a prosecution under this section for making a false entry of credit
in a report of the bank's condition, with intent to defraud and deceive,
a former acquittal upon a charge of making with like intent earlier entries
of the same credit on the bank's books, is not a bar, since the acquittal,
though it establishes that the book entries were not made with criminal
intent, does not establish that they were true, and non constat but that
the accused may have learned of their falsity after entering them on the
books and before making the report. (Judgment No. 281 affirmed; No.
282 reversed.) (Ib.)
Evidence held sufficient to sustain conviction of charging false entries on books of
Federal reserve bank. (12 U. S. C. A., sec. 592.)
(U. S. C. C. A. 1929.) Evidence held sufficient to sustain conviction of
charging false entries on the books of a Federal reserve bank, in violation

contribution, in violation of 2 U. S. C. A., section 251, with attached memorandum indicating withdrawal from bank's entertainment fund for benefit
of county fair, held inadmissible to show wrongful or corrupt intent as
merely tending to show his willingness to commit a crime similar to that
charged. (Ib.)
Criminal law—Rule requiring evidence in exceptions to be in narrative form, necessary to understanding of legal questions, applies in every kind of proceeding sought
to be reviewed in circuit court of appeals (supreme court rule 8).
(U. S. C. C. A. 1929.) Supreme court rule 8, providing that bill of exceptions shall contain only evidence necessary to present questions of law
involved, and that evidence shall be condensed and in narrative form,
applies in every kind of action or suit, where review is sought in circuit
court of appeals. (Caldwell v. United States, 36 Fed. Rep. (2d. series),

Criminal law—Sentence may be postponed to hear motion for new trial.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1929.) Sentence may be postponed for purpose of hearing
and deciding motion for new trial. (Ib.)

REPORT OF THE COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY
false entries in books of bank, testimony by bookkeeper, who actually
made entries, that cashier stated the bank statement did not include
amount of cash specified, but that he wanted bank to show good statement
of its condition, was sufficient to sustain conviction of defendant, as either
making or directing making of false entries. (Ib.)
That false statement by bank cashier was made for advertising purposes, not to deceive
bank examiners, held no defense to prosecution for making false statement.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1929.) That purpose of bank cashier in making false statement as to condition of bank, and making false entries in books of bank,
was not to deceive officers of Federal reserve bank or Comptroller of the

Criminal law—Alleged error in admitting defendant1 s statement concerning condition
of bank in prosecution for making false statement held not so radical as to permit its
consideration without proper assignment.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1929.) In prosecution of bank cashier for making false
report and false entries in books of bank, alleged error in admitting testimony of national bank examiner as to conversation with defendant, to show
general condition of bank and facts surrounding transaction, when offense
was committed, did not involve such radical error, seriously prejudicing
rights of defendant, as could be noticed, in absence of proper assignment of
error. (Ib.)
Criminal law—Rule permitting consideration of radical errors without proper
assignment of error can not be invoked generally as substitute for proper assignments.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1929.) Rule that radical errors which appear to have seriously prejudiced rights of defendant may be noticed, in absence of proper

entries in books of bank, showed that jury were given exhibits, consisting
of records and books of account, which contained great many entries that
had not been admitted in evidence, but that exhibits were recalled from
jury room as soon as this was discovered, and jury instructed that it must
not give any consideration to any exhibits, except those properly introduced in evidence, and foreman of jury stated that jury only examined
entries which related to questions under consideration, and did not look
at others, record did not disclose prejudicial error. (Ib.)
Criminal law—^Jury should not be permitted to examine exhibits identified but not
offered in evidence.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1929.) Care should be exercised that exhibits which are
identified, but not offered in evidence, are not taken into jury room, and

books of bank or trust company or exhibit of false paper or security with
intent to deceive examiner and statement or publication of any false
statement of the amount of assets or liabilities of any bank or trust company. The indictment followed the language of the statute.) (Brown v.

When title to stock in a national bank passes.
(U. S. Sup. 1930.) When the purchaser of stock of a national bank receives
from the seller the certificates properly indorsed, title passes and the transfer is complete as between the parties; and, as between them, the purchaser alone becomes liable for assessments thereafter imposed on the
shares. (Early, Receiver, v. Richardson, 280 U. S. R. 496.)
Actual owner of stock liable for assessment although his name does not appear upon
the books of the bank.
(U. S. Sup. 1930.) The actual owner of stock of a national bank may be

One who purchases stock of a national bank and has transfers made to his minor
children is personally liable for assessment on the stock, as the transferees, being

(U. S. Sup. 1930.) One who in good faith purchases stock of a national bank
with the intention of making a gift thereof to his minor children, and
causes the transfer to be made to them upon the books of the bank and
certificates to be issued in their names, is, nevertheless, liable for assessments on the stock made subsequently for the benefit of creditors, when
the bank becomes insolvent, since the transferees, being minors, are
without legal capacity to assume the obligation, and the transfer, having
resulted to their disadvantage, will be avoided for them by the law.

Purchase of stock of national bank by party as a gift for his minor children does not

Statutes, sees. 5151, 5152. (12 U. S. C. A., sees. 63, 66.) (Ib.)
Executrix, applying to close estate and disclaiming interest in testator's national bank
stock shortly after bank closed, held liable as devisee for subsequent stock assessment. {12 U. S. C. A., sees. 63, 66.)
(U. S. C. C. A. 1929.) Executrix, filing application to close estate within
12 months after last publication of notice to creditor and only five days
after learning that national bank, in which testator owned stock, had
closed, and formally disclaiming all interest in such stock but three weeks
after bank closed, held liable as sole devisee for stock assessment ordered
after estate was closed and assets distributed; such facts justifying finding
that she had estate closed to avoid liability for assessment under Revised
Statutes, sections 5151, 5152. (12 U. S. C. A., sees. 63, 66.) (Ib.)
ACTIONS TO ENFORCE LIABILITY
National bank receiver, suing transferor of stock for assessment, need not allege
transferees were insolvent.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1929.) Receiver of national bank, suing transferor of stock
for 100 per cent assessment, need not allege in complaint that transferees
were insolvent, since it is a defensive matter. (Cooley v. Armstrong,
35 Fed. Rep. (2d series) 401.)
National bank receiver, suing stockholder for assessment, need not allege that 100 per
cent assessment was necessary.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1929.) Receiver of national bank, suing transferor of stock
for 100 per cent assessment on stock, need not allege that the 100 per cent
assessment was necessary to retire indebtedness of institution pro rata for
all stockholders at time of transfer of stock by defendant, since, if amount
assessed was unnecessary, it was matter of defense. (Ib.)
National bank stockholder could not evade impending liability for assessment by
colorable transfer of stock.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1929.) National bank stockholder could not evade impending liability for assessment as stockholder by colorable transfer of his
stock. (Ib.)
REPORT OF THE COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY

Burden was on national bank receiver, suing transferor of stock for assessment, of
showing transferor knew or should have known bank was insolvent at lime of
transfer.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1929.) In action by receiver of national bank against
transferor of stock to recover assessment, burden was on plaintiff to show
that at time of transfer bank was insolvent, and that transferor either had
knowledge of that fact or had knowledge of other facts which would lead
reasonable person to believe bank was insolvent. (Ib.)
National bank stockholder, transferring stock knowing bank was insolvent,
liable for assessment, unless he showed tranferees were solvent.
was
(XJ. S. C. C. A. 1929.) National bank stockholder, transferring stock when
bank was insolvent, and when he either knew or had knowledge of facts
which would lead reasonable person to believe bank was insolvent, was
liable for assessment on stock, unless he showed he made transfer to people
who were solvent. (Ib.)
In action to recover bank stock assessment from transferor, evidence defendant believed bank would become insolvent, if present officers continued in control, held
inadmissible.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1929.) In action against transferor of stock to recover
assessment, evidence that defendant had sought and received advice from
witness whether he should pay 50 per cent assessment levied on stock
before transfer, and tending to show that defendant believed, bank would
become insolvent, if present officers continued in control, held inadmissible,
since they were not expressions of bodily or mental feelings. (Ib.)
STATE BANKS
LIABILITY OF SHAREHOLDERS OF GEORGIA STATE BANK
This court will not assume, in absence of construction by State court, that, under
Georgia banking law, notice to stockholder of assessment meeting was not required
or that that actually given was insufficient.
(TJ. S. Sup. 1930.) A Georgia statute provides that, upon being required by
the superintendent of banks to make good an impairment of capital by an
assessment upon stockholders, the officers and directors of a bank shall
call a special meeting of the stockholders for the purpose of making such
assessment. In a case from the State court in which a stockholder challenged an assessment, under the due process clause of the fourteenth
amendment, held that, in the absence of a controlling decision by the State
court, it can not be assumed either that notice of the stockholders' meeting
at which the assessment was made was not required by the State law, or
that a notice actually given by mailing it 15 days before the meeting,
addressed to the stockholder a t his address last known to the bank, was
insufficient. (Toombs v. Citizens Bank of Waynesboro, 281 U. S. R. 643.)
Attacking statute—Complainant has burden of proving invalidity, and doubts must
be resolved in favor of State.
(U. S. Sup. 1930.) In assailing the constitutionality of a State statute the
burden rests upon the complainant to establish t h a t it infringes the constitutional guarantee which he invokes. If the State court has not otherwise
construed it, and it is susceptible of a n interpretation which conforms to
constitutional requirements, doubts must be resolved in favor of the
State. (169 Ga. 115, affirmed.)

FEDERAL TAXATION
IN GENERAL
Internal revenue—Commissions deducted from mortgage loan paid to borrower held
properly returned as income when loan was discounted or paid not when made.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1930.) Where bank in negotiating mortgage loans on realty
in addition to regular interest charged fee of 2 per cent for services in
connection with loan and deducted commission from amount paid to
borrower, commissions were not returnable as income at time loans were
made to borrowers but were properly returnable as income when loan
was discounted or paid, since commission is not actually received until
bank receives back what it has paid out plus commission. (Blair, Commissioner of Internal Revenue, v. First Trust & Savings Bank of Miami,
Fla., 39 Fed. Rep. (2d series) 462.)
Taxation of commissions charged by bank,
(U. S. C. C. A. 1930.) Commission charged by bank making loan, commission being deducted from amount of loan, held accrued income, where
books were kept on accrual basis. (Columbia State Sav. Bank v. Commissioner of Internal Revenue, 41 Fed. Rep. (2d series) 923.)
Internal revenue—Interest accrued on books of bank held not taxable "income"
where corporation procuring loan passed into receivership, and market value of
claim for interest only partly collected several years later was not shown.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1930.) Item of accrued interest entered on books of bank,
kept on accrual basis, representing interest on loan to corporation which
at close of year went into receiver's hands, held not taxable as income,
where the claim for interest only yielded part of amount due after years
of delay, and there was no proof as to the value of the claim during the
taxable year, since probability was that income would not be received at
least within a reasonable time. (Corn Exchange Bank v. United States,
37 Fed. Rep. (2d series), 34.)
Internal revenue—Bookkeeping entries incorrectly reflecting income do not estop
taxpayer.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1930.) Bookkeeping entries which do not correctly reflect
income do not estop taxpayer from questioning taxation. Swan, circuit
judge, dissenting. (Ib.)
Internal revenue—Double taxation will be avoided whenever taxing authorities have
jurisdiction to prevent it.
(C. A. of Dist. of Col. 1929.) Double taxation is to be abhorred and will be
avoided whenever the taxing authorities are vested with jurisdiction to
prevent it. (National Bank of South Carolina v. Lucas, Commissioner of
Internal Revenue, 36 Fed. Rep. (2d series), 1013.)
Internal revenue—Internal Revenue Commissioner has discretionary power to credit
return of one year with amount included therein returned and taxed in prior year.
(Revenue act 1918, sec. 212 (6), 218.)
(C. A. of Dist. of Col. 1929.) Under revenue act 1918, section 212 (b), 40
Stat. 1064, providing that, if taxpayer's method of accounting does not
clearly reflect income, computation shall be made on such basis and in
such manner as in commissioner's opinion clearly reflects income, and
section 213 (40 Stat. 1065), providing, after enumerating taxable income
items, that amount of all such items shall be included in gross income for
taxable year in which received, unless, under methods of accounting permitted by section 212 (b), any such amounts are to be properly accounted
REPORT OF THE COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY

for as of a different period, Commissioner of Internal Revenue lias sufficient discretionary power to credit return of one year with amount included therein which had previously been returned and taxed in a prior
year. (Ib.)
Internal revenue—Bank changing from accrual to cash basis of accounting held entitled to credit for discounts received and which had previously been taxed under
accrual basis. (Revenue act 1918, sees. 212 (6), 213; Regulations 45, arts. 22, 23.)
(C. A. of Dist. of Col. 1929.) National bank which kept its books during
1918 on accrual basis so far as accounting for discounts was concerned, but
thereafter changed to cash basis, and in making returns for 1919 included
in gross income all discounts received, as required by revenue act 1918,
section 212 (b), 40 Stat. 1064, including earned discounts reported in 1918
return and on which it had been taxed, held entitled to a credit for discounts
which had accrued in 1918 and on which it had been previously taxed, under
said statute, section 213 (40 Stat. 1065), and Regulations 45, articles 22, 23,
as against contention that change to cash basis was made without commissioner's approval, where commissioner acquiesced therein for about
five years before questioning return and until limitations prevented
petitioner seeking relief in court. (Ib.)
DEDUCTIONS
Statutes.
(Ct. Appeals D. C. 1930.) Treasury Department's equitable and reasonable
interpretation of income tax statute, apparently approved by Congress,
will be followed, as against more technical interpretation of Board of Tax
Appeals. (Revenue act 1921, sec. 234 (a) (5), reenacted by revenue act
1924, sec. 234 (a) (5), and revenue act 1926, sec. 234 (a) (5), 26 U. S. C. A.
sec. 986 (a) (5).) (Commonwealth Commercial State Bank v. Lucas,
Commissioner of Internal Revenue, 41 Fed. Rep. (2d series), 111.)
Internal revenue.
(Ct. Appeals D. C. 1930.) Ninety per cent of amount of bonds of Imperial
Russian Government held deductible as bad debt loss. (Revenue act 1921,
sec. 234 (a) (5), reenacted by revenue act 1924, sec. 234 (a) (5), and revenue
act 1926, sec. 234 (a) (5), 26 U. S. C. A. sec. 986 (a) (5).)
(After the Soviet Government repudiated the financial obligations of the
Imperial Russian Government, including the bonds in question, the State
bank examiner directed bank to write such bonds off its books to the full
extent of their par value. The Board of Tax Appeals found, however, that
at the close of the year 1921 each class of such bonds ¥/as quoted on the
exchange at about 10 per cent of par value.) (Ib.)
EXCESS PROFITS TAX
Internal revenue—-Excess profits taxes—Abnormal conditions—Exceptional hardships—Existence—-Determination—Administrative function.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1930.) Whether abnormal conditions exist and exceptional
hardships will result calling for special assessment of excess profits taxes
held within administrative discretion, absent fraud or other irregularities.
(Revenue act 1918, sees. 327 (d), 328.)
(Revenue act 1918, sees. 327 (d), 328 (40 Stat. 1093), authorizes special
assessment for excess profits taxes where ordinary rules of assessment would
work exceptional hardship evidenced by gross disproportion between tax
computed without benefit of section and tax computed by reference to other
representative corporations.) (National Bank of Commerce of Seattle,
Wash., v. United States, 39 Fed. Rep. (2d series), 434.)
Internal revenue—Excess profits taxes—Refund—Complaint—Sufficiency.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1930.) Complaint for refund of excess profits taxes paid
merely showing tax was erroneously determined, if anything, held insufficient.
(Complaint alleged in substance that Commissioner of Internal Revenue
erroneously determined that deposits in bank were not to be considered
borrowed capital within meaning of that term as used in administration of
the tax laws. No other allegations of fraudulent conduct or irregularities
were made. (Ib.)

(U. S. D. C. 1928.) Fraud is never presumed, and must be directly charged.
(Ib.)TAXATION OF CONSOLIDATED BANKS
Taxation of consolidated banks.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1930.) Interest items collected by consolidated bank held
taxable, where merger agreement specifically omitted accrued interest in
determining capital furnished by merging bank. (Revenue act 1918, sees.
213a, 325a, 326a (40 Stat. 1065, 1091, 1092).) (Pontiac Commercial

Internal revenue.
(Ct. Appeals D. C. 1930.) Provision in revenue act for computing invested
capital in case of reorganization of trade or business held to include reOrganization of corporation. (Revenue act 1918, sec. 331.)
(Revenue act 1918, sec. 331 (40 Stat. 1057), provides that, in case of
reorganization of trade or business, or change of ownership of property, if
interest or control in such trade or business or property of 50 per cent or
more remains in same persons, then no asset transferred shall, for purpose
of determining invested capital, be allowed greater value than would have
been allowed in computing invested capital of such previous owner if
assets had not been transferred.) (W. A. Sheaffer Pen Co. v. Lucas,
Commissioner of Internal Revenue, 41 Fed. Rep. (2d series), 117.)
Internal revenue.
(Ct. Appeals D. C. 1930.) Word "control," used in provision of revenue
act for determining invested capital in case of reorganization if control
remained in previous owners, when applied to corporation, relates to
control by stockholders. (Revenue act 1918, sec. 331.) (Ib.)
Statutes.
(Ct. Appeals D. C. 1930.) Court may properly look to subsequent legislation as aid in statutory construction. (Ib.)

corporations.) (Ib.)
TAXATION OF JOINT-STOCK LAND BANKS
Internal revenue—Interest paid by joint-stock land banks on bonds is not deductible
from income. {Revenue act 1921, sec. 23% (a) {2),)
(U. S. Court of Claims, 1930.) In determining income tax liability, interest
paid by joint-stock land banks on their joint-stock land bank bonds is
not deductible from income under revenue act 1921, sec. 234 (a) (2),
42 Stat. 254. (First National Bank of Chicago v. United States, 38 Fed.
Rep. (2d series), 925.)
Internal revenue—Bonds issued by joint-stock land bank were not "indebtedness
incurred or continued to 'purchase' or 'carry' obligations or securities" of borrowing farmers represented by their notes and mortgages, within law relating to deduction of interest. {Revenue act 1921, sec. 284-)
(U. S. Court of Claims, 1930.) Indebtedness of joint-stock land banks by
reason of bonds issued in order to procure funds to loan to farmers on their
notes secured by first mortgages does not constitute an indebtedness
incurred or continued to purchase or carry obligations or securities of
borrowing farmers represented by their notes and mortgages, within the
meaning of the exception to interest deduction clause of revenue act 1921,
sec. 234, 42 Stat. 254, in that the words "purchase" and "carry," unless
given a technical meaning different from that in which they are ordinarily
used, are apt words and characterize precisely the acquisition of and
holding of farmers' notes and mortgages by a joint-stock land bank. (Ib.)
Internal7 revenue—Notes and mortgages owned by joint-stock land bank were ''obligations ' or "securities" within law relating to deduction of interest. {Revenue
act 1921, sees. 234, 213 {b) (4).)
(U. S. Court of Claims, 1930.) Farmers' notes and mortgages given to jointstock land bank created under the Federal farm loan act (12 U. S. C. A.,
sec. 641 et seq.) were obligations or securities within meaning of the
exception to the interest deduction clause of revenue act 1921, sec. 234,
42 Stat. 254, the interest upon them being specifically exempted from
taxation under section 213 (b) (4), and "obligation" being a generic word
and including all kinds of contracts by which contracting parties bind
themselves, and "security" being a term usually applied to obligation,
pledge, mortgage, deposit given by debtor in order to make secure payment or performance of his debt. (Ib.)

REPORT OF THE COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY
Statutes—Courts, where language used in statute is free from ambiguity, must
assume legislative intent to be what plain meaning of words imports.
(U. S. Court of Claims, 1930.) Framers of a statute are presumed to know
and understand the meaning of words used, and where language used is

same act, the courts must assume legislative intent to be what plain
meaning of words used imports. (Ib.)
Internal revenue—Denial of deduction for interest paid on farm loan bonds by

collector to recover sum paid under protest to tax collector as taxes
levied on bank's capital stock, under Comp. St. Idaho 1919, section 3297,

Comp. St. Idaho 1919, section 3302, makes bank liable for payment of
taxes assessed to its stockholders, and owners of shares are liable to bank
for taxes so paid, and bank is given lien on the stock for the amount
paid under section 3303. (Boise City National Bank v. Ada County

banks, subject to restriction that taxation shall not be at a greater rate
than is assessed upon other moneyed capital in the hands of individual
citizens of the State, in view of the fact that dues and credits secured by

judicial power of court may begin, and not before if that administrative
procedure affords adequate protection. (Ib.)

6998, 7003, 7005, 7006, 7007-al, relating to taxation, as construed, held
not to contravene Revised Statutes, United States, sectioii 5219 (12
U. S. C. A. sec. 548), prohibiting State from taxing shares in national
banks at greater rate than is assessed upon other moneyed capital in
hands of indivdual citizens coming into competition with business of
national banks, and act of Congress, July 17, 1916, section 26, 39 Stat.

Taxation—Petition alleging State officials taxed national banks and Federal land
bank at 150 mills, whereas competing moneyed capital was taxed at 5 and 6 mills,
and other acts of discrimination, held to show violation of Federal statute. (Code
Iowa 1927, sees. 6984, 6985, 6987, 6988, 6992, 6998, 7003, 7005, 7006, 7007-al;

taxed shares in national banks and in Federal land bank at greater rate
than that imposed on other moneyed capital coming in competition with
national banks, by taxing national banks and Federal joint-stock land bank
at rate of approximately 150 mills on dollar, while other moneyed capital
in substantial competition was taxed at 5 mills for one year and 6 mills on
dollar for other years, and that plaintiff banks were not permitted to
deduct, from valuations of their stock, individual indebtedness of stockholder, whereas owners of other moneyed capital in competition with
plaintiffs were permitted to make such deductions, held to show violation
by State taxing officials and tribunals, under Code Iowa 1927, sections
6984, 6985, 6987, 6988, 6992, 6998, 7003, 7005, 7006, 7007-al, of Revised

Taxation—Tax levied on shares of national banks in direct violation of Federal
statute is void. (12 U. S. C. A.y sec. 548.)
(U. S. D. C. 1930.) Tax levied on shares of national banks which was invalid because of direct violation of Revised Statutes, United States, section
5219 (12 U. S. C. A. sec. 548), permitting and limiting right to tax
national banks, was void, since an invalid tax is a void tax. (Ib.)
Taxation—National banks and Federal land bank did not waive remedy to recover
void tax collected by failing to exhaust some administrative remedy.
(U. S. D. C. 1930.) National banks and Federal joint-stock land bank did
not waive their remedy to recover void tax collected by failing to exhaust
some administrative remedy provided by statutes of State, since rule
requiring that administrative remedies be first exhausted does not extend
to those cases where tax is void and where no exercise of discretion by
an administrative reviewing tribunal could correct it. (Ib.)

bank to recover void taxes illegally collected. (12 U. S. C. A. sees. 548, 932;
Const. U. S., amend. 14-)
(U. S. D. C. 1930.) National banks and Federal joint-stock land bank
could, in action at law, recover taxes paid which were void because in
violation of Revised Statutes, United States, section 5219 (12 U. S. C. A.
sec. 548), and act of Congress, July 17, 1916, section 26, 39 Stat. 380

KANSAS
Courts—-Federal district court had jurisdiction of action by national bank to recover
excess tax on shares of stock. (12 U. S. C. A., sec. 548.)
(U. S. C. C. A. 1929.) Federal district court had jurisdiction of action at
law under Revised Statutes, section 5219, as amended by act March 4,
1923, 42 Stat. 1499 (12 U. S. C. A. sec. 548), for recovery of excess tax
imposed on shares of bank by State authority, in that such action was
based on construction of United States statute and its application to the
facts. (Wright, County Treasurer, et al., v. Central National Bank of
Topeka, Kans., 37 Fed. Rep. (2d series), 234.)
Costs—Appeal from judgment dismissing suit to enjoin enforcement of judgment
in law action with opportunity to defend therein was frivolous. (28 U. S. C. A.,
sees. 878, 880.)
(U. S. C. C. A. 1929.) Where defendants in action at law by national bank
to recover excess tax imposed on shares of stock by State authority had
opportunity to defend, and did defend, therein, and appealed from judgment against them which was affirmed, an appeal from judgment of dismissal in subsequent suit to enjoin enforcement of judgment in the action
at law was without merit, vexatious, and frivolous, and required imposition
of penalty in accordance with 28 U. S. C. A., sections 878, 880. (Ib.)
Taxation—Tax on stock of national bank at greater rate than upon other moneyed
capital in competition with businesses of national banks is unlawful. (12 U. S.
C. A., sec, 548.)
(Kans. Sup. 1929.) Any tax imposed on the shares of stock of a national
bank which is at a greater rate than that assessed upon other moneyed
capital in the hands of individual citizens of the State coming into competition with the business of national banks is in violation of Revised
Statutes United States, section 5219. (12 U. S. C. A., sec. 548). (Voran
v. Wright, County Treasurer et al., 281 Pac. Rep. 938.)
Taxation—Law authorizing discrimination in rate of taxation between stockholders
of national banks and others having moneyed capital in substantial competition
held invalid. (Laws 1927, ch. 326; 12 U. S.C. A., sec. 548.)
(Kans. Sup. 1929.) The provisions of chapter 326, Laws, 1927, are in violation of the requirements of Revised Statutes United States, section 5219
(12 U. S. C. A. sec. 548), in that they permit and authorize a discrimination in the rate of taxation between the stockholders of national banks
and other corporations and individual citizens having moneyed capital

(Kans. Sup. 1929.) The allowance for taxation of a deduction from the
capital stock of an incorporated mortgage company of real estate mortgages
that have been registered, as provided by chapter 273, Laws of 1925, is
a discrimination against the stockholders of national and State banks,
which are taxed under the provisions of chapter 276, Laws of 1925, and
are not allowed such a deduction. (Ib.)

Taxation—Classification for taxation permitted by Constitution applies to property
and not to owners thereof. (Const., art. 11, sec. 1, amended (see Laws, 1923t
ch. 255).)
(Kans. Sup. 1929.) The classification permitted by the 1924 amendment of
section 1, article 11 (see Laws, 1923, ch. 255), of the State constitution,
applies to property and not to owners thereof. (Ib.)
Taxation—Intangible taxation law held unconstitutional for failure to classify and
tax money and credits uniformly as a class. (Laws. 1927, ch. 326; Const., art. 11,
sec. 1.)
(Kans. Sup. 1929.) Chapter 326, Laws of 1927, known as the intangible
taxation law, violates the provisions of section 1, article 11, of the State
constitution, in that the rate of taxation it prescribes is not uniform and
equal, and that it does not classify and tax money and credits uniformly
as a class. Harvey, J., dissenting. (Ib.)
MISSISSIPPI
Taxation—Constitutional requirements— Uniformity—Equality.
(Miss. Sup. 1930.) Uniform and equal taxation clause does not require
that all property be classified for taxation purposes at true value. (Const.,
sec. 112.) (First Nat. Bank of Biloxi v. Board of Supers of Harrison
County, 127 So. Rep. 686.)
Constitutional law—Equal protection—Taxation—National banks.
(Miss. Sup. 1930.) Assessment of national bank's property at full value,
where other property was assessed at 65 per cent, of value, held not denial
of equal protection. (Const. U. S., Amend. 14, sec. 1.) (Ib.)
NEW YORK
Taxation—Validity of tax on national bank shares depends on whether other moneyed
capital is actually taxed less, not whether tax statute discriminates. (12 V. S.
C. A., sec. 548.)
(U. S. D. C. 1930.) Under Revised Statutes, section 5219 (12 U. S. C. A.?
sec. 548), validity of tax on shares of national banks by States depends on
whether or not tax imposed is at greater rate than is actually assessed on
other competing moneyed capital in hands of individual citizens of State,
and not merely on whether wording of State legislation complies with section,
or whether State courts correctly interpret decisions of Supreme Court;
statute applying to substantial discrimination arising through misapplication of statutes by taxing officers. (Public Nat. Bank of New York v.
Keating et al. 38 Fed. Rep. (2d series), 279.)
Taxation—Statute prohibiting greater tax on national bank shares than on other
moneyed capital is violated, where other capital escapes equal taxation. (12
U. S. C. A., sec. 548.)
(U. S. D. C. 1930.) Revised Statutes, section 5219 (12 U. S. C. A., sec. 548),
authorizing taxation of shares of national banks by States providing tax
imposed is not at greater rate than is assessed on other competing moneyed
capital, is violated wherever capital substantial in amount when compared
with capitalization of national banks, employed either in business or by
private investors in same sort of transactions and in same locality in which
national banks do business, escapes taxation or is taxed at rate less than is
assessed on shares of national banks. (Ib.)
Taxation—Evidence showing moneyed capital competing with national banks was
actually exempt from tax imposed on national bank shares showed illegal tax against
banks. (Tax Law N. Y.; 12 U. S. C. A., sec. 548.)
(U. S. D. C. 1930.) In suit to enjoin collection of taxes on shareholders of
national bank, testimony that billions of dollars were employed by thousands of brokers, private bankers, and individual investors of surplus funds
and by corporations in investing, reinvesting, dealing in bonds, commercial
paper, mortgages, and other securities, lending of money on call or on
time, discounting commercial paper, making loans in substantially same
manner as was done by national banks, and that such competitive moneyed
capital, except for small amount in hands of relatively few citizens and
corporations, was exempted from 1 per cent ad valorem tax imposed on
national bank shares by tax law, New York. (Consol. Laws, ch. 60),

of Revised Statutes, section 5219 (12 U. S. C. A., sec. 548), though State
tax law imposed same tax on banks and on competing moneyed capital.

Taxation—Classification of property for taxation is legislative function, and will
not be interfered with by courts if not unreasonable; shares of stock in banks and
banking associations may be made separate class for tax purposes.
(Okla. Sup. 1929.) Classification of property for purposes of taxation is
a legislative function and, when such classification is not based upon an
invidious or unreasonable distinction, it will not be interfered with by
the courts, and shares of stock in banks and banking associations may be
made a separate class for such taxation purposes. (Comanche County
et al. v. American National Bank of Lawton, 122 Okla. 34, 252 P. 408.)

Citation of statute.
(Okla. Sup. 1929.) Shares of stock in banks organized under the banking
laws of the United States shall not be listed and assessed for ad valorem
taxation purposes at a greater rate than is assessed upon any other moneyed
capital in the hands of the individual citizens of the State. (Sec. 9607,
C. 0. S. 1921.) (Ib.)
Taxation—"Moneyed capital in hands of individuals," as test for taxing national
bank stock, includes money invested in private banking enterprises, securities
representing money at interest, and evidences of indebtedness. (Comp. St. 1921,

(Okla. Sup. 1929.) "Moneyed capital in the hands of the individual citizens" includes money invested in private banking enterprises, investments
of individuals in securities that represent money at interest, and other
evidences of indebtedness such as normally enter into the banking business.

taxation on moneyed capital in the hands of individual citizens invested in
securities which represent money at interest and other evidences of
indebtedness such as normally enter into the banking business. Under
the provisions of section 9607, C. O. S. 1921, the rate of taxation upon
shares of stock in banks organized under the banking laws of the United
States may not be at a greater rate than is provided by sections 9588 and
9608, Id. (Ib.)
Taxation—National Bank, claiming to be discriminated against, properly paid
taxes under protest and sued for alleged illegal excess. (Comp. St. 1921, sec. 9971.)
(Okla. Sup. 1929.) Where a national bank claimed that it had been discriminated against by taxing authorities of a county, in that a greater
rate of taxes had been levied against and collected upon its shares of stock
than was permitted by law, the bank properly proceeded for its relief
under section 9971, C. O. S. 1921, paying its taxes under protest and
bringing suit for the product of the excessive levy. (American Nat.

IN GENERAL
Trusts—Bank agreeing to pay mill's operating expenses, obtaining proceeds of mill
on foreclosure, must account for contribution to proceeds by unpaid seller of cotton
to mill.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1930.) Where bank was active party to arrangement whereby mill was to be run by drafts drawn on bank for expenses and supplies
in operating mill and was to be beneficiary of any net profits, and bank
was mortgagee of assets and products of mill, and plaintiffs, cotton merchants, with knowledge of such arrangement, sold cotton to mill and drew
drafts on bank in payment therefor, but bank refused payment of draft
with knowledge of foreclosure of mill, whereby bank procured all proceeds
of yarns made by mill, including those made from cotton of plaintiffs, bank
could not honestly dishonor drafts and keep cotton and products thereof,
but equity will construct suitable trust to compel bank to account for
proceeds of yarn into which paintiffs' cotton entered and contribution
thereto of plaintiffs' cotton ascertained and plaintiffs' pro rata part therein
paid to them. (Carroll et al. v. First Nat. Bank of Panama City, Fla.,
38 Fed. Rep. (2d series), 195.)
Trusts—Bank agreeing to pay milVs operating expenses had equal claim in proceeds
of mill foreclosed as complainants for cotton sold mill.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1930.) Where bank was active party to arrangement whereby
mill was to be run by drafts drawn on bank and was to be'beneficiary of
net profits, and complainants sold cotton to mill used in making its product and drew drafts on bank, and bank obtained all proceeds of products
of mill on foreclosure of its mortgage against mill, in absence of intentional
fraud, contribution made by bank to proceeds had equal standing with
contribution of complainants' cotton to proceeds of mill's products. (Ib.)

Appeal and error—Order denying motion to remove trustees appointed under trust
agreement was final appealable order.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1929.) An order denying motion to remove trustees
appointed under an agreement of trust constituted a final appealable
order, in view of fact that court had already taken cognizance of trust
and potential control of trust estate. (Franz v. Buder et al.; Mississippi
Valley Trust Co. v. Same, 34 Fed. Rep. (2d series) 353.)
Trusts—Court of equity has inherent power to remove trustee for breach of trust or
other good cause,
(U. S. C. C. A. 1929.) It is inherent in the powers of a court of equity to
remove a trustee for breach of trust or other good cause shown. (Ib.)
Trusts—Unintentional delay of trustees in furnishing bonds due to honest misunderstanding between counsel was not ground for removal.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1929.) Delay of trustees appointed under agreement of trust
in furnishing bonds ordered in decree of court, which was not intentional
but due to an honest misunderstanding between counsel, did not constitute
ground for removal of trustees, in that the provision for filing within
specified time was not of so strict and unyielding a character that unintentional delay could not be relieved against. (Ib.)
Bonds—Considerable liberality is exercised in construing designations of obligees
in bonds.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1929.) Considerable liberality is exercised in construing
designations of obligees in bonds, so long as the intent of the parties is
clear. (Ib.)
Appeal and error—Record on former appeal between same parties is admissible in
subsequent appeal.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1929.) Record on former appeal between the same parties is
admissible for consideration on subsequent appeal therein. (Ib.)
Evidence—Appellate court will take judicial notice of its own records, particularly
in same general litigation.
(U. S. C. C. A. 1929.) Appellate court will take judicial notice of its own

acts Georgia, 1917, page 56, authorizing it to engage in business of guaranteeing payment of bonds, since it was proper for bankrupt to guarantee
payment of bond in order to sell it. (Ib.)
Bankruptcy—Where bankrupt trust company guaranteed payment of secured bonds,
including interest, bondholder's claim must be allowed in full, regardless of security,
until full satisfaction is had from some source. {Civ. Code, Ga,, 1910, sec. 2817,
subsec. 11.)
(U. S. D. C. 1929.) Where bankrupt trust company, authorized to sell bonds
by Civil Code, Georgia, 1910, section 2817, subsection 11, made indorsement on bond secured by real estate guaranteeing payment of principal
and interest, liability of bankrupt estate was only secondary, but claim
of owner of indorsed bond must be allowed in full, regardless of security,
until full satisfaction is had by creditor from some source. (Ib.)
Bankruptcy—Indemnity company held to have provable debt against bankrupt under
indemnity contract as to liability which had become fixed at time of bankruptcy,
(Civ. Code, Ga., 1910, sec. 2817, subsec. 11; bankr. act, sec. 68 (a) (1) and Q),
11 U. S. C. A., sec. 103 (a) (1) and U).)
(U. S. D. C. 1929.) Where bankrupt trust company, authorized to sell
bonds under Civil Code, Georgia, 1910, section 2817, subsection 11, guaranteed payment of principal and interest in order to sell them, and
arranged with indemnity company to issue certificates of guaranty in
consideration of premium, and made indemnifying contract to repay to
indemnity company any loss from issuance of such certificates, indemnity
company held to have provable debt under indemnity contract, where
liability had become fixed at time of bankruptcy under bankruptcy act,
section 63 (a) (4), 11 U. S. C. A., section 103 (a) (4), though claim could
not be supported under bankruptcy act, section 63 (a) (1), 11 U. S. C. A.,
section 103 (a) (1). (Ib.)
Subrogation—Where trust company, guaranteeing payment of bonds, entered
indemnity contract with indemnity company, indemnity company taking up
bonds regarding which it claimed indemnity held subrogated to bondholders' rights.
(Civ. Code, Ga., 1910, sec. 2817, subsec. 11.)
(U. S. D. C. 1929.) Where bankrupt trust company, authorized to sell bonds
under Civil Code, Georgia, 1910, section 2817, subsection 11, guaranteed
payment of principal and interest in order to sell them, and arranged with
indemnity company to issue certificates of guarantee in consideration of
premium, and made indemnifying contract to repay to indemnity company
any loss from issuance of such certificates, indemnity company which took
up all bonds in respect of which it claimed indemnity held subrogated to
rights of bondholders, including right to enforce indorsement of trust company guaranteeing payment. (Ib.)
NATIONAL BANKS MAY ACT AS FIDUCIAEIES NOTWITHSTANDING STATE LAWS
State law inconsistent with Federal act must yield thereto.
(Pa. Sup. 1923.) In so far as the State banking law is inconsistent with
section 11 (k) of act of Congress, December 23, 1913, as amended by act
September 26, 1918, section 2 (U. S. Comp. St. Ann. Supp. 1919, sec.
9794), the former must yield to the latter, even though the result may
place upon the Federal banks a benefit or burden not received or assumed
by the State banks and trust companies. (In re Turner's estate, 120
Atl. Rep. 701.)
National banks may act as fiduciary notwithstanding State laws.
(Pa. Sup. 1923.) The right given by section 11 (k) of act of Congress,
December 23, 1913, as amended by act September 26, 1918, section 2
(U. S. Comp. St. Ann. Supp. 1919, sec. 9794), to national banks to occupy
fiduciary positions is not affected by the fact that under the Federal law
they are permitted to commingle the assets held in fiduciary capacity
with their other assets after they have set aside Government bonds or
other securities approved by the Federal Reserve Board, and that the
234
HEPORT OF THE COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY
Federal law allows the State authorities to inspect books and records of
only that part of their assets which are received in a fiduciary capacity,
while the State acts allow supervision by the banking department of all
assets and forbids substitution of securities. (Ib.)
Establishment of Federal banks within Federal power not subject to interference by
State except as permitted by Congress.
(Pa. Sup. 1923.) The establishment of the Federal reserve bank was a
matter within the scope of Federal power, and the State can not in any
way interfere with the powers of such bank, except as permitted by
Congress. (Ib.)
CONSOLIDATION OP STATE BANK WITH NATIONAL BANK—SUCCESSION OP
NATIONAL BANK TO TRUSTS HELD BY STATE BANK
CALIFORNIA
On consolidation of two banking corporations, new corporation, in absence of contrary
stipulation, becomes owner of properties, trusts, and contracts of former corporations. (Bank act, St. 1918, p. 152, sec. 31 (a), as amended by St. 1917, p. 609,
sec. 9.)
(Cal. Dist. Appls. 1928.) Where two banking corporations consolidate
under bank act, Statutes 1913, page 152, section 31 (a), as amended by
Statutes 1917, page 609, section 9, resulting in bringing into existence a
single corporation as successor of the two, the successor corporation ipso
facto succeeds to and becomes owner of the combined capital stocks
and properties, trusts,and contracts of the former corporations, provided
as to trust estates, or other like contracts, there is an absence of stipulation
or agreement between the parties specifically prescribing a different
devolution. (Mercantile Trust Co. v. San Joaquin Agricultural Corporation et al., 265 Pac. Rep. 583.)
Mortgages—Mortgage prescribing method of filling vacancy as trustee held not
inconsistent with statute authorizing consolidation of banking corporations.
(Bank act, St. 1913, p. 152, sec. 31 (a), as amended by St. 1917, p. 606, sec. 9.)
(Cal. Dist. Appls. 1928.) Provision of mortgage, in form of deed of
trust, that in case of dissolution, resignation, incapacity, or removal of
trustee, a successor may be appointed by holders of a majority of bonds
secured, held not inconsistent with bank act, Statutes 1913, page 152,
section 31 (a), as amended by Statutes 1917, page 606, section 9, authorizing consolidation of banking corporations into a single corporate entity
whereby latter becomes the successor in interest to properties, contracts,
trusts, and obligations of consolidating corporations. (Ib.)
Mortgages—Consolidation of corporate trustee with another corporation held not to
effect "dissolution" of trustee within trust deed prescribing method of filling
vacancy in case of trustee's dissolution. (Bank act, St. 1918, p. 152, sec. 81 (a),
as amended by St. 1917, p. 606, sec. 9; Code Civ. Proc. sees. 1227, 1285.)
(Cal. Dist. Appls. 1928.) Consolidation of bank and trust company, which
was trustee under a mortgage, with another banking corporation under
bank act, Statutes 1913, page 152, section 31 (a), as amended by Statutes
1917, page 606, section 9, providing that new corporation succeeds to
rights of consolidating corporation, held not to effect " dissolution" of
trustee within meaning of trust deed, so as to make it duty and exclusive
right of bondholders to appoint a successor trustee as therein provided,
and consolidated corporation was therefore not precluded from becoming
successor trustee under said statute; "dissolution" as used in the mortgage
meaning "dissolution of corporation" by procedure laid down in Code
Civil Proc, section 1227. (Ib.)
Corporations—Corporations are solely creatures of legislature.
(Const, art. 12, sec. 1.)
(Cal. Dist. Appls. 1928.) Corporations are solely creatures of the legislature,
and they may exist or cease to exist after being brought into being by
virtue of statutory enactment authorized by Constitution, article 12,
section 1. (Ib.)
REPORT OF THE COMPTKOLLER OF THE CURRENCY
235
Corporations—Corporations must submit to all reasonable and nondiscriminatory
conditions on which they are authorized by legislature to do business.
(Cal. Dist. Appls. 1928.) So long as the legislature, in exercising its
right to regulate corporations, does not impose on them unreasonable
burdens, obligations, or restrictions, nor unfairly discriminate as between
corporations of the same general class, such organizations must submit to
and abide by all conditions on wnich they are authorized to prosecute
the objects for which they were created. (Ib.)
Constitutional law.—Statute authorizing consolidation of banking corporations held
not to impair obligation of contracts of merging corporations. (Bank act, St. 1918,
p. 152, sec. 31 (a), as amended by St. 1917, p. 609, sec. 9.)
(Cal. Dist. Appls. 1928.) Bank act, Statutes 1913, page 152, section 31 (a),
as amended by Statutes 1917, page 598, authorizing consolidation of
banking corporations, and providing that the new corporation shall
succeed to all capital stocks, properties, trusts, contracts, and assets of
merging corporations, in no way impairs the obligations of contracts
entered into by merging corporations prior to the merger, within the
prohibition of either the Federal or State Constitutions. (Ib.)
Statute authorizing consolidation of banking corporations becomes part of every
agreement made by constituent corporations prior to merging. (Bank act, St.
1913, p. 152, sec. 31 (a), as amended by St. 1917, p. 606, sec. 9.)
(Cal. Dist. Appls. 1928.) Bank act, Statutes 1913, page 152, section 31 (a),
as amended by Statutes 1917, page 606, section 9, authorizing the consolidation of banking corporations, in so far as it prescribes a scheme for
the transfer of their properties, rights, agreements, obligations, and duties
to the consolidated corporation, enters into and becomes a part of every
agreement or obligation entered into or assumed by the merging corporations prior to the merger, and of this its directors, bondholders, and others
dealing with it are presumed to have knowledge. (Ib.)
Mortgages—Mortgage held to authorize trustee to declare entire principal due on
default in interest payment without prior written notice to mortgagor.
(Cal. Dist. Appls. 1928.) That mortgage recited several events of default
in the alternative, held clearly to indicate that the happening of any one
of the defaults shpuld be sufficient of itself without reference to the conditions involved in any of the other defaults to entitle the trustee to
proceed in any of the several ways prescribed to enforce rights of bondholders and of itself; and where one of provisions did not require written
notice by trustee to mortgagor of its default in payment of interest before
right to proceed to enforce payment of interest in any of ways prescribed
should accrue, none was required as prerequisite to action to foreclose the
mortgage. (Ib.)
Corporations—Corporation suspended for failing to pay license and franchise tax
may be made defendant in action commenced after suspension. (St. 1917, p. 377.)
(Cal. Dist. Appls. 1928.) Corporation which has been suspended for failure to pay its license and franchise tax under Statutes 1917, page 377,
may nevertheless be made a party defendant in an action commenced
subsequent to such suspension. (Ib.)
Trusts—Probate court is without jurisdiction to determine protests of beneficiaries
to statutory substitution as trustee of bank purchasing assets of original trustee,
provided statute is valid, but objections must be asserted in equity. (State bank
act (St. 1909, p. 87, and amendments thereto) and sec. 31, as amended by St. 1921,

and section 31 (b), as added by Statutes, 1921, page 1375, section 16, providing for transfer of business of banking corporations and succession of
purchasing bank to trust relationships by operation of law, court sitting
in probate is bound to recognize bank purchasing business of original
trustee as the new trustee and has no jurisdiction to determine protests
on part of beneficiaries to statutory substitution, provided statute is valid,
and any other objections to substitution on part of beneficiaries must be
asserted in court of equity. (In re Barnett's Estate, 275 Pac. Rep. 453.)

REPORT OF THE COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY
Statutes—Title relative to regulation of hanking business sufficiently expresses provision of statute for transfer of trusteeships on transfer of bank's business. (State
bank act (St. 1909, p. 87, and amendments thereto) and sec. 31, as amended
by St. 1921, p. 1373, sec. IS, and sec. 31 (a), as amended by St. 1921, p. 181, and
sec. 81 (b), as added by St. 1921, p. 1375, sec. 16.)
(Cal. Dist. Appeals, 1929.) State bank act (St. 1909, p. 87, and amendments
thereto), as to transfer of trusteeships on transfer of business of banks,
provided for by section 31, as amended by Statutes, 1921, page 1373,
section 15, and section 31 (a), as amended by Statutes, 1921, page 181, and
section 31 (b), as added by Statutes, 1921, page 1375, section 16, is sufficiently expressed in title defining act as one "to regulate the business of
banking." (Ib.)
Constitutional law—Provisions for transfer of trusteeships on transfer of bank's
business do not offend special privileges or equal protection clauses, as class legislation. (State bank act (St. 1909, p. 87, and amendments thereto) and sec. 81, as
amended by St. 1921, p. 1373, sec. 15, and sec. 31 (a), as amended by St. 1921,
p. 181, and sec. 31(b), as added by St. 1921, p. 1375, sec. 16.)
(Cal. Dist. Appeals, 1929.) State bank act (St. 1909, p. 87, and amendments
thereto) held not void as class legislation in violation of special privileges
and equal protection clauses of Constitution, as to section 31, as amended
by Statutes, 1921, page 1373, section 15, and section 31 (a), as amended
by Statutes, 1921, page 181, and section 31 (b), as added by Statutes, 1921,
page 1375, section 16, providing for transfer of trusteeships on transfer
of business of banking corporations. (Ib.)
Constitutional law-—Provision for transfer of trusteeships on transfer of business of
banking corporations held not void as depriving courts of equity jurisdiction.
(State bank act (St. 1909, p. 87, and amendments thereto) and sec. 31, as amended
by St. 1921, p. 1373, sec. 15, and sec. 31 (a), as amended by St. 1921, p. 181, and
sec. 31 (b), as added by St. 1921, p. 1375, sec. 16; Const, art. 6, sec. 5.)
(Cal. Dist. Appeals, 1929.) State bank act (St. 1909, p. 87, and amendments
thereto) held not to violate Constitution, article 6, section 5, giving superior court original jurisdiction of all equity cases, on account of provisions
of State bank act, section 31, as amended by Statutes, 1921, page 1373,
section 15, and section 31 (a), as amended by Statutes, 1921, page 181,
and section 31(b), as added by Statutes, 1921, page 1375, section 16, providing for transfer of trusteeships on transfer of business of banking corporations by sale, consolidation or merger,, since jurisdiction of equity is
not altered by statutory changes creating new rights or withdrawing
certain rights which formerly existed. (Ib.)
Courts—Court on appeal from decision settling account of national bank as substitute trustee could not determine propriety of application of statute to national
banks. (State bank act (St. 1909, p. 87, and amendments thereto) and sec. 31,
as amended by St. 1921, p. 1873, sec. 15, and sec. 31 (a), as amended by St. 1921,
p. 181, and sec. 81 (b), as added by St. 1921, p. 1375, sec. 16.)
(Cal. Dist. Appeals, 1929.) Reviewing court on appeal from decision of probate court settling final account of national bank as substitute trustee had
no jurisdiction to determine applicability of State bank act (St. 1909, p. 87,
and amendments thereto), section 31, as amended by Statutes, 1921,
page 1373, section 15, and section 31(a), as amended by Statutes, 1921,
page 181, and section 31 (b), as added by Statutes, 1921, page 1375, section
16, providing for transfer of trusteeships on transfer of business of banking
corporations by sale, consolidation or merger, to national banks, on
ground that such application would deprive State courts of jurisdiction
over testamentary trusts. (Ib.)
Courts—Probate court had no jurisdiction, on account by national bank as substitute
trustee, to determine whether substitution injured estate or beneficiaries, and
jurisdiction of that question was therefore not conferred by appeal to district court
of appeal. (State bank act (St. 1909, p. 87, and amendments thereto) and sec.
81, as amended by St. 1921, p. 1873, sec. 15, and sec. 81 (a), as amended by St.

237
1921, page 181, and section 31 (b), as added by Statutes, 1921, page 1375,
section 16, had no jurisdiction to determine whether substitution was
detrimental to interest of trust estate or beneficiaries, since probate court
had no jurisdiction over that question. (Ib.)
Statutes—Statutes must be construed reasonably.
(Cal. Dist. Appeals, 1929.) Judicial construction or interpretation of statute
must be reasonable. (Ib.)
Statutes—Court may not read into statute matters omitted by legislature.
(Cal. Dist. Appeals, 1929.) Court may not, under the guise of interpretation,
read into statute matters which have been omitted by the legislature,
particularly where it appears that the omission might have been intentional. (Ib.)
Trusts—Substitution of national bank as trustee on succession to business of original
trustee held effective without consent of beneficiaries. (State bank act (St. 1909,
p. 87, and amendments thereto) and sec. 81, as amended by St. 1921, p. 1373,
sec. 15y and sec. 31 (a), as amended by St. 1921, p. 181, and sec. 81(b), as added
by St. 1921, p. 1875, sec. 16.)
(Cal. Dist. Appeals, 1929.) Substitution of national bank as trustee on its
succeeding to business of original trustee under State bank act (St. 1909,
p. 87, and amendments thereto) and section 31, as amended by Statutes,
1921, page 1373, section 15, and section 31 (a), as amended by Statutes,
1921, page 181, and section 31 (b), as added by Statutes, 1921, page 1375,
section 16, was effective without necessity of approval or consent of beneficiaries, since section 31 makes sale subject "to the rights of trustors and
beneficiaries after such transfer to nominate another and succeeding
trustee." (Ib.)
Wills—Right to make testamentary disposition of property depends on legislative
consent.
(Cal. Dist. Appeals, 1929.) Right to make testamentary disposition of property is not inherent right but one which depends entirely on consent of
legislature. (Ib.)
Wills—Testator is deemed to intend results of statutory rules governing disposition
of estate.
(Cal. Dist. Appeals, 1929.) Where legislature has prescribed rules and conditions for disposition and administration of estates, testator is deemed to
intend result which such rules produce to the same extent as though statutory provisions were embodied in will. (Ib.)
Wills—Statutory scheme for substitution of trustee on transfer of business of banks
is deemed to have been adopted by testator designating bank as trustee. (State
bank act (St. 1909, p. 87, and amendments thereto) and sec. 81, as amended by
St. 1921, p. 1373, sec. 15, and sec. 81 (a), as amended by St. 1921, p. 181, and

MASSACHUSETTS
Conformity with State law in administration of estates of deceased persons by consolidated bank required by act of February 25, 1927.
(U. S. Sup. 1929.) The act of February 25, 1927, provides that any national
bank may be consolidated with any State bank or trust company under
the charter of the national bank; that, upon such consolidation, all the
rights, franchises and interests in property of the State corporation
shall be deemed transferred to and vested in the national bank; that the
consolidated national bank "shall hold and enjoy the same and all rights
238
REPORT OF THE COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY
of property, franchises and interests, including the right of succession as
trustee, executor, or in any other fiduciary capacity in the same manner
and to the same extent as was held and enjoyed" by the State corporation;
but that no such consolidation shall be in contravention of the law of the
State under which such State bank or trust company was incorporated.
Held:
That the act enjoins upon a consolidated national bank complete conformity with the State law in its conduct of estates of deceased persons
when acting as trustee or administrator thereof. (Ex parte Worcester
County National Bank of Worcester, 279 U. S. R. 347.)
Conflict of Laws—Decision by State court as to whether consolidated bank succeeded
to executorship, followed by this court.
(U. S. Sup. 1929.) Where the highest State court decided that, under the
-State law, a national bank with which a local trust company had been
consolidated under the act did not succeed to an executorship held by
the trust company and could not render an account of the estate, except
as executor de son tort, because the consolidation had ended the existence
of the trust company and the bank, being a different entity, could not
rightfully represent the estate without a new appointment from the
probate court, this decision, as to the State law, should be followed by the
court. (Ib.)
Executors and Administrators—Consolidated bank should apply to probate court
for appointment to succeed to executorship.
(U. S. Sup. 1929.) To conform with the State law, under the act of Congress,
the bank, in order to represent and administer the estate, should apply for
an appointment by the probate court. (263 Mass. 444, affirmed.) (Ib.)
NEW YORK
Executors and administrators—Appointment
of executors—Selection by testator.
(N. Y. Appeals, 1912.) A testator, subject to the regulations and restrictions
prescribed by law, may select his executor as he pleases, and such designation alone invests the executor with authority and power, and the
letters testamentary, which are founded on the probate of the will, and of
an evidentiary nature, neither create the office nor confer title or power.
(In re Bergdorf s will, 99 Northeastern Rep. 714; 206 N. Y. 309.)
Executors and administrators—Selection of executor—Intention of testator.
(N. Y. Appeals, 1912.) The selection by testator of his executor may be
immediate and expressed, or it may be constructive or by implication, or
it may be delegated by the will, but the intent of testator as to how, when,
and by whom his estate shall be conserved and distributed must be ascertained from the language of the will, which must be carried out unless
unlawful, and this rule is not modified by Code Civil Proc, section 2636,
providing that, after a will has been admitted to probate, the person or
persons named therein as executors, who are competent to serve and who
appear and qualify, are entitled to letters testamentary. (Ib.)
Merger of corporations—Statutory
authority.
(N. Y. Appeals, 1912.) Domestic corporations organized as trust companies
may not merge in the absence of statutory authority, and, where a
statute authorizes a merger, the effect is exclusively what is declared
by the act. (Ib.)
Merger of corporations—Statutory
authority.
(N. Y. Appeals, 1912.) Banking law (Consol. Laws 1909, ch. 2), sections
36, 39, 40, authorizing two or more trust companies to merge into another,
and declaring that on the merger the rights and franchises of the corporation so merged shall be vested in the corporation into which it has been
merged, etc., permits a trust company to merge itself into another, and a
trust company which merges into another company, without surrendering
its corporate existence, retains only its corporate entity, but otherwise it is
nonexistent, and its property rights and interests vest in the company
into which it is merged. (Ib.)
REPORT OF THE COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY
239
Executors and administrators—Designation of executor—Statutory regulations—
Validity.
(N. Y. Appeals, 1912.) The legislature, having the entire legislative power
of the people, except as withheld by the State constitution or restricted
by the Federal Constitution, may provide that a trust company, into
which another trust company lawfully designated as an executor has
been merged subsequent to the making and prior to the probate of the
will, shall be the transferee of the privilege of being executor. (Ib.)
Wills—Statutory right.
(N. Y. Appeals, 1912.) A testator, in making his will and appointing
executors, is and remains throughout the rest of his life subject to relevant
existing statutes, and the exercise of the right to make a testamentary
disposition depends solely on the statutes, and the legislature may withhold or grant the right, and, where it grants it, it may make its exercise
and its extent subject to such regulations as it pleases, and it must be
deemed that a testator intends the results which the operation of the
statutory regulations produce. (Ib.)
Executors and administrators—Appointment of executors—Parties entitled to—
Statutory provisions.
(N. Y. Appeals, 1912.) A testator appointed as executors two persons and a
trust company and "the survivors and successors of them." The trust
company subsequently and prior to his death was merged into another
trust company pursuant to banking law (Consol. Laws 1909, ch. 2),
sections 36-40. Held that, on the probate of the will, the latter company
was entitled to letters testamentary, though the merged company was
ignorant of the making of the will and its designation as executor. (Ib.)
TENNESSEE
National bank held to succeed to rights and title of consolidated State bank, as trustee
under trust deed authorizing State bank to administer trust. (12 U. S. C. A.,
sec. 34a; acts 1918, ch. 20, sec. 23.)
(Tenn. Sup. 1929.) National bank, with which State bank consolidated
under Act of Congress, November 7, 1918, section 3, as added by act of
Congress, February 25, 1927, section 1 (12 U. S. C. A., sec. 34a), which
consolidation was valid under acts 1913, chapter 20, section 23, held to
succeed to rights and titles of State bank as trustee under trust deed conveying real estate to secure payment of certain notes with power of sale
in case of default, since, in case of corporate trustee, one designating
corporation as trustee is held to do so with knowledge that trust is to be
administered by persons to whom stockholders commit control of its affairs.
(First Nat. Bank of Chattanooga et al. v. Harry E. Chapman Co. et al.,
22 S. W. R. (2d series), 245.)
VIRGINIA
Consolidation of State bank with national bank—Succession to trust powers denied
in Virginia.
(Va. Sup. Ct. of App. 1930.) Designation of State bank as executor did not
authorize national bank to act, notwithstanding consolidation before
testator's death, whereby State bank was merged with national bank.

(Act of Congress, Nov. 7, 1918, ch. 209, sec. 3, 40 Stat. 1044, as added
by act of Congress, Feb. 25,1927, ch. 191, sec. 1, 44 Stat. 1225 (12 U. S. C.
A., sec. 34a), provides for consolidation of State banks with national
banking associations, and further provides that all the rights, franchises,
and interests of the State bank and every species of property shall be
transferred to and vested in the National Banking Association "including
the right of succession as trustee, executor, or in any other fiduciary capacity in the same manner and to the same extent as was held and enjoyed
by such State bank." The designation of the trust company as executor
was not a thing which passed as property or an asset on consolidation in
view of the fact that the selection is a personal matter involving special
confidence, and that will is merely ambulatory and may be changed during
testator's lifetime.) (Hofheimer v. Seaboard Citizens' Nat. Bank of
Norfolk, 153 S. E. R. 656.)

TRUSTS
TRUST COMPANIES AND TRUST FUNCTIONS.—Double commissions as executor and
trustee.
in the absence of language so clear and unequivocal as to make a contrary determination absurd, a testator should never be deemed to have
contemplated that where the same individual is to act from start to finish
in the administration of his estate, such action should be construed to be
in two different capacities so as to entitle such representative to double
commissions.
Since the questions here involved are presented virtually ex parte by
representatives of those financial institutions which will profit to the extent
of an almost incalculable aggregate sum if a contrary rule should be established, it is incumbent on the court, as the trusted guardian of the interests
of the fatherless and the widow, to clarify its position so far as possible in
order that an appellate tribunal may have such benefit as may be derived
from the experience and research of the court of first instance, to which
this problem is a matter of daily occurrence. (Matter of Kings County
Trust Co. (Florence Fletcher Jackson, dec'd), New York Law JL, Oct. 21,
1930. P. D. 598.)
BANKS AND BANKING—LIABILITY OF BANK OR TRUST COMPANY FOR UNSOUND
INVESTMENTS AUTHORITY TO RETAIN INVESTMENTS.
In trust relations these days, when trust companies have entered the
business, much more is expected from a corporate trustee than from the
old-fashioned individual executor or trustee. Trust companies seek this
character of business, claiming that they are specially qualified and financially responsible. They make a specialty of trust matters and claim to
be familiar with the authority of executors and trustees as to trust investments. They have claimed that each estate and trust will receive the
personal attention of one trust executive whose life work is the administration of estates and trusts, and decisions with regard to the purchase and
sale of securities will be independently arrived a t by these officers in consultation with investment experts. (Matter of Fulton Trust Co., Surrogate Slater, Westchester County, New York Law JL, June 25, 1930. P. D.

Appeals from the District Court of the United States, for the District of New Jersey
(Filed October 29, 1930)
Before BTJFFINGTON, WOOLLEY and DAVIS, Circuit Judges
BUFFINGTON, J .
These are appeals by the Port Newark National Bank of Newark, New Jersey,
and F. Raymond Peterson, appointed receiver of the bank by the Comptroller
of the Currency, from an order of the Court below ousting him from the possession of the property and assets of said bank. The facts in the case are these.
The National Bank in question was in grave financial difficulties when on August
7, 1930, L. K. Roberts, Chief National Bank Examiner, in pursuance of his duty
as such, visited the bank and was there in conference with its officers and Julius
S. Rippel, President of the Merchants & Newark Trust Company. The officers
of the bank hoped to tide over its difficulties and prevent its being closed by the
acceptance of an offer by Mr. Rippel to take over the bank and assume its known
liabilities. The negotiations reached a point that day where they were about to
be consummated the next day when certain court proceedings hereafter referred
to made it impossible to carry out the arrangements and prevent the closing of
the bank. On being informed of such facts, the Comptroller of the Currency,
the morning of the 8th, issued an order directing that "from information on file
in this bureau, I am satisfied that 'The Port Newark National Bank of Newark/
located in the City of Newark, County of Essex 7and State of New Jersey, is insolvent and unable to pay its just and legal debts/ and appointing F. R. Peterson
receiver of the bank, "with all the powers, duties and responsibilities given to
or imposed upon a receiver under the provisions of the Revised Statutes of the
United States which authorize the appointment of a receiver." The statute
noted provides: "Whenever the Comptroller shall become satisfied of the insolvency of a National Banking Association, he may after due examination of its
affairs * * * appoint a receiver who shall proceed to close up such association."
In pursuance of such appointment, Peterson immediately took possession of
and closed the bank. It thus appears that the Comptroller, through his Bank
Examiner, was engaged in supervising the bank on August 7th, and when advised
the proposed sale could not be effected, immediately appointed a receiver. It is
clear that on August 7th and from then on, the Comptroller was exercising his
supervisory powers and had assumed direction and control of the affairs of the
bank with reference to its proposed sale. What then was the status of the
receiver? In that regard the authorities are clear that the appointment of receivers by the Comptroller is part of a complete Federal system looking to the
control of National banks and that such receivers are not like a receiver appointed
by a court, but are officers of the United States and their possession of the bank
is the possession of the United States. Touching the first point, the Supreme
Court in Easton v. Iowa, 188 U. S. 231, after citing the legislation creating the
245
246
REPORT OF THE COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY
National bank system, says: " I t thus appears that Congress has provided a symmetrical and complete scheme for banks to be organized under the provisions of
this statute." To the same effect is United States v. Weitzel, 246 U. S. 534,
where it is said: "The Comptroller of the Currency is charged with the duty of
supervising National Banks. When he deems it necessary to take possession of
the assets of a bank and assume control of its operations, he appoints a receiver
under Revised Statutes, Sec. 5234, Comp. Stat. 1916, Sec. 9821." This was in
line with the earlier case of Cook County National Bank, 107 U. S. 448, where
it is said: "We consider that Act as constituting in itself a complete system for
the establishment and government of National banks, prescribing * * * their
liability to be placed in the hands of a receiver, and the manner, in such event,
in which their affairs shall be wound up, etc." Touching the second point, it
was also said in the first case: "Our conclusions upon principle and authority
are that Congress having power to regulate and control the exercise of their
operations; that Congress has dealt with the subject of the insolvency of such
banks by giving control to the Secretary of the Treasury and the Comptroller of
the Currency, who are authorized to suspend the operations of the banks and
appoint receivers where they became insolvent." So also the possession of a
receiver appointed by the Comptroller is not the possession of a court officer,
but is the possession of the United States. Thus, In re Chetwood, 165 U. S. 458,
it is said:
"The Receiver was not the officer of any court but the agent and officer of the
United States, as ruled by Mr. Justice Gray, on circuit, in Price v. Abbott, 17
Fed. Rep. 506, and by Mr. Justice Jackson, then Circuit Judge, in Armstrong v.
Trautman, 36 Fed. Rep. 275. And see Porters. Sabin, 149 U. S. 473,479; Platt
v. Beach, 2 Ben. 303; Freilinghuysen v. Baldwin, 12 Fed. Rep. 395; Armstrong v.
Ettlesohn, 36 Fed. Rep. 209. * * * The receiver acts under the control of
the Comptroller of the Currency and the moneys collected by him are paid over
to the Comptroller, who disburses them to the creditors of the insolvent bank."
From the above it will be seen that on and from August 7th the Comptroller was,
first by his bank examiner and later by his receiver, performing the duties of
supervision and possession vested in him by Federal law and that his receiver
was "the agent and officer of the United States" in possession of the bank
and its assets. These appeals raise the question whether he was by the Court
lawfully deprived of such possession as i i the agent and officer of the United States."
How this was done we now state. About five o'clock on the afternoon of
August 7th, Edward M. Waldron, a stockholder of the bank, presented to the
Judge below in chambers at Newark a bill against the bank, which was in the
same city, alleging its insolvency and praying for an injunction and the appointment of a receiver. We here note that although the bill, which was not verified,
was supported by an affidavit made the day previously, no notice was given to
the bank of the presentation and filing of the bill or no conference had with the
Comptroller. Moreover, no proffer was then or any time subsequently made of a
bond in accordance with Sec. 18 of the Act of October 15, 1914, which provides:
"Except as otherwise provided in Section 16 of this act, no restraining order or
interlocutory order of injunction shall issue, except upon the giving of security
by the applicant in such sum as the court or judge may deem proper, conditioned
on the payment of such costs and damages as may be incurred or suffered by
any party who may be found to have been wrongfully enjoined or restrained
thereby."
On presentation of the bill the Court below granted a rule on the bank, returnable August 11th, to show cause why a receiver should not be appointed and
"ordered that until this order should be made absolute or discharged the said
defendant, Port Newark National Bank of Newark, its officers, servants and
agents absolutely desist and refrain from exercising any of its privileges and
franchises, except in the ordinary course of business, until otherwise ordered."
On return of the rule on August 11th, the Court entered an order on August 13th,
over the protest of the Comptroller's receiver and of the bank, appointing a
court receiver for the bank "with full power and authority to * * * take
into his possession all the goods and chattels, rights and credits, moneys and
effects, lands, tenements, books, papers, choses in action, bills, notes and property of any kind and every description of said defendant wheresoever situated."
In obedience to this order the Comptroller's receiver surrendered possession to
the Court's receiver and took an appeal—as did also the bank.
We pass over the omission to give notice to the bank of the filing of the bill
and the application for a receiver; of the failure to give bond either when the
injunctive ex parte restraining order of August 7th was entered, or indeed when
the final injunction order of August 13th was made; of the effect of the filing
REPORT OF THE COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY
247
of the bill in precipitating the closing of the bank and making impossible of performance the acceptance of Mr. RippeFs offer on behalf of the Merchant's &
Newark Trust Company of taking over the bank and preventing its closing;
and confine ourselves solely to the question whether the Comptroller's receiver
was lawfully ousted from his possession. We are of opinion he was not. This
is not a conflict between two courts of coordinate jurisdiction, but is one between the judicial and the executive arm of the sovereignty. In our view, the
threatening status of this bank on August 7th and its efforts to prevent its failure
necessitated the supervision and "dominion" of the Comptroller and when that
duty was begun by the bank examiner the Comptroller had "dominion" over the
bank's affairs and so continued until the efforts to prevent closing the bank
were defeated by the filing of this bill. When this happened, it became the duty
of the Comptroller, who as his order stated, had "information on file in this
bureau that the bank is insolvent," to appoint a receiver and close the bank.
The wisdom of his so doing prevented a run and a depletion of the bank's assets.
For it will be observed that the Court's order of August 7th was not to close the
bank, but to except from its order "the ordinary course of business of the bank "—
a situation that would have precipitated a run upon it and a depletion of its
assets from August 7th until August 13th, when the Court's order appointing a
receiver was entered. Indeed the manifest inadequacy of the action of the
Court to protect the assets of the threatened bank in its order of August 7th,
and the promptness and efficacy of the Comptroller's order of August 8th to
close the bank and put his receiver in physical possession of its assets is evidenced
in the record wherein the Court below said: " I believe the Comptroller by his very
prompt action, frustrated a situation which would have been most disastrous."
It requires no stretch of the imagination to see that if the bank had been given
notice of the proposed filing of this bill and had opportunity been afforded it to
have informed the Judge of the presence of the bank examiner of the negotiations
pending with a man of Mr. Rippel's financial position, the "most disastrous"
situation would not have arisen. Whether indeed the right of a Comptroller
in every instance to appoint receivers is not paramount and exclusive is a question we do not feel called on to now decide because the present case does not so
require.
In that regard we also note that in Korbly v. Springfield Trust, 245 U. S. 330,
the Supreme Court said:
"From the earliest days of the administration of the National Banking Act
to this case attempts have been made in many forms to give to it a technical
construction which would so restrict the powers of the Comptroller as to greatly
delay and impede the settlement of the affairs of insolvent banks. But this
court has uniformly declined to narrow the act by construction, and has placed
a liberal interpretation upon its provisions to promote its plain purpose of expeditiously and justly winding up the affairs and paying the debts of such
unfortunate institutions."
Not only the research of counsel, but our independent research, has shown
no case where a Federal or State Court has appointed a receiver for a going National
bank as distinguished from one in liquidation. Sufficient to say that in the
present case we regard the Comptroller at the time this bill was filed as having
complete dominion over and, by his bank examiner, full legal control of the then
and. future operations of the bank, and that such situation might ultimately
require the appointment of a receiver. Consequently the Court below, when
the bill wasfiled,acquired no jurisdiction to shear the Comptroller of the statutory
power to take the further step of appointing a receiver in case insolvency existed
and the attempted sale fell through. As the order states the Comptroller had
on file at that time information of the insolvency of the bank, it is clear he had
already complied with the statutory provisions of "on examination of its affairs,"
after which he "may appoint a receiver."
So holding, the case is remanded to the District Court with instructions that
the receiver appointed by the Court be discharged, first accounting to the Comptroller's receiver for his doings and restoring to him possession of all of the bank's
property; that the receiver appointed by the Comptroller be restored and that
the bill be dismissed with costs both on these appeals and in the court below
to be taxed against the complainant in the bill.
