JOINT BANKING ACCOUNTS. A. P. Sumner, Esq., wanted an explanation of joint banking accounts in the receivers' report. Senator Gardner said this chiefly concerned the buying of securities by the Providence Banking company. Mr. Sumner said that there might be a question then of Mr. Sweetland's acting as a receiver, but on Senator Gardner stating that no account held by the Union Trust Co., was more amply secured than that one the matter was not further pressed. United States District Attorney Charles A. Wilson and William R. Tillinghast, Esq., approved the motion for delay. Attorney J. Jerome Hahn wished an opportunity for further information than might be contained in the report, and Samuel S. Stone, Esq., wanted to know if, when the plan was presented to the court, the names of those who were to comprise the voting trust would be given. He was assured that the names would be given. Theodore F. Green, Esq., said whether one took a pessimestic or optimistic view of the situation it would seem wise to continue the question of appointing a temporary receiver. There was, as above intimated, considerable discussion as to whether two weeks delay would give counsel time enough to familiarize themselves with the plan. There was a very large number of interested persons about the court house from long before the time set for the hearing. The court room was not as crowded as at the first hearing. Today's large crowd was admirably handled by Deputy Sheriff McCusker and his fellow deputies.
