ASKS A RECEIVER. # Joseph L. Brady Doesn't Want the Germania Assignee. Joseph L. Brady, a creditor of the Germania bank, has made application to the district court for an order directing Peter Kerst to show cause why he should not be removed as assignee of the Germania bank, and why another assignee should not be appointed. The order is returnable before Judge Bunn next Tuesday at 10 a. m. Mr. Brady alleges it was upon the personal assurance of Mr. Kerst, acting as cashier of the bank, prior to the assignment, to the effect that the bank was all right that he, Brady, deposited money therein. For this reason Mr. Brady insists that Mr. Kerst is not the proper person to act as assignee, and asks that he be removed and another assignee be appointed. Receiver Auerbach, of the Allemania, said yesterday that he expected to have his statement for the court ready within six days. There is a vast amount of legal business continually cropping up in the exercise of his functions, and he has appointed as his legal adviser, A. G. Briggs. The bond of Charles F. Staples, as assignee of the West Side bank, in the amount of $250,000, has been approved by Judge Bunn. The bond is signed by the Fidelity and Deposit company, of Maryland, by Joseph Lockey, resident director, and William M. Carson, general agent. Judge Bunn appointed John F.
