EVANSTON MAN IN CHARGE OF CLOSED BANKS Fred W. Allen Appointed to Replace Pemberton as Deputy Receiver. OCCUPIES SKINNER HOUSE May Be Placed in Control of Commercial, Fifth Avenue Institutions. Fred W. Allen of Evanston today relieved G. Herbert Pemberton as deputy receiver of the Moline State Trust and Savings bank; the People's Savings Bank and Trust company of Moline and the Manufacturers' State bank of East Moline. William L. O'Connell of Chicago. appointed receiver for banks which have closed since Edward J. Barrett has been state auditor, made the appointment, replacing Mr. Pemberton because he has assumed his duties as president of the Rock Island Bank and Trust company. It is understood that the state auditor's office plans to establish deputy receiverships for banks within counties, which may mean that the auditor will appoint Mr. Allen as deputy receiver in charge of the closed Commercial Savings bank of Moline and the closed Fifth Avenue Trust and Savings bank of Moline. Charles J. Smith of Moline is now receiver for the Commercial bank and R. A. Cole of Moline is now receiver for the Fifth Avenue institution. Mr. and Mrs. Allen have moved to Moline, establishing their home in the Skinner residence at 1217 Eleventh avenue, Moline. They have four children, three of whom are attending Moline elementary schools and one a junior high school. Has Been Receiver. Mr. Allen has been deputy receiver of the Papanel: Kovac state bank and the Kaufman state bank during the last eighteen months. These banks have now been placed in a group with several others under one deputy receiver. For seventeen years Mr. Allen was connected with the First National bank of Chicago and for five years he was manager of the foreign exchange department of the Northern Trust company, Chicago This week all closed banks of Mercer county were placed under the supervision of one deputy receiver, J. M. Connors. The receivership of the Farmers' State bank of Reynolds, it is understood, will be placed in the Mercer county group instead of the Rock Island county group. For the time being, Harry E. Thompson of Rock Island remains in charge of the bank as receiver.

SUITS ON BONDS OF EAST MOLINE HEARD IN COURT Bank and Receiver for Two Others Begin Actions: Aggregate Is Beyond Legal Limit. With two new accounting suits against the city of East Moline filed yesterday and today, formal hearings began in the Rock Island county circuit court today before Judge Leonard E. Telleen on claims of a large number of holders of local improvement bonds of the city. Ray I. Klingbiel, city attorney, appeared but offered no defense behalf of the city, and judgments will be entered by Judge Telleen upon completion of the formal Plaintiffs appearing today include Dr. Ralph Dart, Elizabeth Ehleb. Frank III, Alice Moore, Marie Howe, William F. Johnson, the Lincoln National Life Insurance company Fort Wayne, Ind., James E. McConnell, Edward W. Martin, the State Bank of East Moline and William L. O'Connell as receiver for the Peoples Savings Bank & Trust company and the Moline State Trust & Savings bank. Plaintiffs are represented by Stafford & Schoede, Murphy & Murphy, S. E. Long and Clyde S. Walker. As receiver for the Moline banks, Mr. O'Connell this morning filed one of the suits, involving bonds of $1,200 held by the Moline State bank, $1,200 held by the Peoples bank and $1,000 by the Peoples bank as trustee for the estate of John E Poole. Mr. Martin, joining in the suit the bank receiver. makes claim on $700 worth of the bonds. In a suit filed yesterday afternoon and called for hearing today, the State Bank of East Moline asks on 29 bonds aggregating $7,200 principal and more than $1.200 interest There are 10 classifications of the bonds, involving from one to 11 of the securities and ranging from $200 to $1,000 on each bond. Mr. Klingbiel said today that the judgments against the city will exceed the limit for bonded indebtedness of the city, and he indicated that study will be made of the bankruptcy provisions of the new federal law adopted vesterday to permit municipalities to go through receivership process with consent of 75 cent the creditors. Mr. Klingbiel says that if the city general bond issue to cover the judgments does not carry in the special election the city will be compelled to operate on only current license and fee income and will be unable to borrow any money or anticipate any taxes. The bond issue would spread the debt over a 10-year period. Judgments will aggregate more than $110,000. The limit of tax rate for the city will produce only about $34,000 annually, regardless of the amount which

As depositors and stockholders of the MOLINE STATE TRUST and SAVINGS BANK we are at the parting of the way. ONE ROUTE-CONTINUED RECEIVERSHIP-we take that if we refuse to sign our depositor and stockholder agreements. THE OTHER ROUTE IS ADOPTION OF THE PLAN FOR REOPENING AND REORGANIZING OUR BANK. That means saving OUR deposits and OUR assets. It means helping ourselves, our neighbor, our business and industrial interests, our community! Depositors must approve of this plan if the bank is to reopen. We have just a short time in which to successfully complete the job. Delay is costly and is unfair to the army of volunteer workers who are devoting their time without pay in YOUR interests as well as the interests of the community. These volunteers have been meeting with splendid response. Their reception proves conclusively that most depositors approve of this route out of our difficulties. Remember, There Is No Other Plan Possible to Remove This Bank From Receivership and No Other Plan Will Be Offered!
