Maldment Howard North and C. Hack ett Chellborg, reported that they ha met with some legal objections In the State Banking1 law In their efforts, hut were able to present the present situation to the depositors. The committee's report stated that they had called upon John G. Jenkins, ousted President of the bank, and asked his explanation of the bank's closing. Mr.

Jenkins had stated that he had had no Intimation of the bank closing; and his first Information to that effect was on the morning of November 23, when Joseph Brundage, messenger of the bank, called him up by telephone and made known the fact that a representative of the State Banking Department was In possession of the institution. Mr. Jenkins stated that he had gone to the bank nd asked of Deputy Superintendent II. L. Tompkins, who had been placed in charge, the reason for the hank's closing.

Mr. Tompkins had Informed Mr. Jenkins that there were a number of notes, amounting to $14,800, which had been Miscounted upon, unsatisfactory security, one of which was a note for $1,100. signed by oseptt Brundage, the bank messenger, In direct violation of the State Banking laws. Mr.

Jenkins had Informed the committee that the notes complained of had been passed upon by the State' Department sinoe 1907. He also told the depositors' committee that he was ready to pay off the full amount covered by the unsatisfactory notes. The committee thereupon met with Mr, Jenkins and the' directors Vf the bank, at the Manhattan office of George Van Tuyl, the State Pupetlnten dent, and Mr. Jenkins paid over $14,800 and received the notes and collateral to which objection had been made. Including the note signed by Joseph Brundage.

Superintendent Van Tuyl was urged by the depositors' committee to tell why- the bank had been closed, and his explanations oolnolded with those of Mr. Tompkins, whose Teasons the committee had previously learned. Mr. Van Tuyl was asked as to the possible reopening of the institution, and he stated that if the surplus of the bank was increased from $5,000 to $10,000 and a directorate chosen that would meet with the approval of the State Department, he would take the matter under advisement, and return an answer or decision within a few days. Mr.

Van Tuyl' was also reouested to state the chances of the depositors in receiving the full amount of their claims, and although in every Instance the committee received unsatisfactory information, the committee expressed the belief from their observation and investigation that the claims would be paid in full. The oommlttee reported that the directors of the bank had Informed them that they had no intimation of the bank closing and thatinasmuch as the notes objected to had been In the bank's possession some years before they were made directors, and that1 the notes had always been passed by the State Department, they assumed them to be satisfactory. Mr. Brundage, In whose name one of the notes had been payable, spoke at the meeting, and made It understood that the $1,100 covered in the note signed by him had not been received by him. but had rather benefited Mr.

Jenkins. The latter's payment of the amount over to the Biate Jjepari-ment exonerated Mr. Brundage completely. Inoulrv was made by the Rev. L.

K. Moore regarding the Supreme Court order which Bad been applied ror Dy the directors to compel Superintendent Van Tuyl to review the situation. It was stated that the hearing for the same, which was to have been held last week, was adjourned until this coming Saturday. If In the meantlmo, however, the directors secure the increase of surplus and a new directorate, or one to meet the State's approval, the order will be laid aside. The directors are seeking to fulfill these conditions exacted by Superintendent Van Tuyl, with good prospects or being successful.

It was stated that there Is at present $49,000 in cashipn hand in the bank, this being admitted by the State Department This amount represents almost half of the total amount of deposits. The Rev. W. R. Watson offered a resolution that was adopted unanimously expressing confidence In the ability and Integrity of the committee, and asking that It take up the question of the further opening of the bank and assist the present directorate to that end.

It was also suggested that should there be a new oireotorate that there be a testimonial from the depositors that they would not withdraw the deposits, but stand by the new government of the institution.

RESTAURANTS NOT CLOSED Disagreement Between Brothers Is Given a Reason Liabilities Heavy on Both Properties. KIVERHEAD. Deo. 20. Bustanoby Brothers, proprietors of the Cafe des Beaux Arts, of No.

SO West Fortieth treat. Manhattan, and of the Chateau des Beaux Arts at Huntingdon, have made a general assignment for the benefit of their creditors to Frederick H. Sanborn, of 118 Qulncy street. Brooklyn, and David E. Simpson, of 11 West Thlrty-ninth street, New York.

The esRlgnment was filed In the Coun- ty Clerk's office at Rlverhead. this roorn-tng, and was brought here by a special messenger from the ofTlce of Baylls Sanborn, attorneys, 37 Liberty street, Manhattan. There are no preferred creditors men-' Woned IB the assignment and the amount of the liabilities Is not yet given, as no i- schedule was filed. Bustanoby Brothers is a corporation and the assignment was signed by Andre Bustanoby, as President and Jacques Bustanoby, as Secretary. Frederick Sanborn, one of the assignees, is member of the law firm of Baylls A Sail bora.

Last summer the Bustanoby Brothers divided some of their property at Huntington Bay Into building sites. They called It Beaux Arts Park. Only one or two of the lots, however, were 'old. The Huntington property Is' heavily encumbered, there being several mortgages new outstanding against It, aggregating more than $300,000. Neither of the two restaurants will be closed, as was learned from a given out to-day, by the assignees.

The family trouble of the Bustanobys is referred to in the statement which says: This action was brought "about by their brother, Louis Bustanoby, to whom a chattel mortgage was given as additional security for his one-third interest which was purchased by his two brothers, Jacques and Andre, last year. When this mortgage was given to Louis, they warned him not to record it, for the creditors would feel nneasy, demand their money, and naturally It would be Impossible jto take care of all of 'them at one time, bb the business was not In a position to turn readily Into cash all of Its i -assets In real estate. However, their brother Louis did record that mortgage, and alsq. foreclosed, which started a run. This course of action regrettable, as the receipts of the Beaux Arts are forty per cent better fhan those of last year, and a great deal higher than any previous year.

When Louis Bustanoby retired, Andre and Jacques took over his Interest amounting to $100,000 worth of stock, agreeing to pay the amount in four an- naui instalments. The first note of $25,000, with Interest was paid promptly. When second note became due last fall the demands of other creditors were so pressing that It was decided to meet these first, and In lieu of the note a chat- tel mortgage on the furnishings of the Fortieth street restaurant was given to Louis. By recording It, although making additional trouble for "the brothers, he is now, instead of a preferred creditor, on a par with- the other creditors and is a co-stockholder with Andre and Jacques, as, according to the agreement If the notes were not paid Louis had the privilege of withdrawing his stock from a trust company where It had been deposited, and this, Andre Bustanoby's representative Said test night had been done. After a consultation with their lawyers, Andre and Jaoquea decided that the easiest way out of the existing financial difficulties was to make an assignment Instead of going into bankruptcy and winding up the business.

20-It has Just been learned that the motor car owned by William J. Fallon has been stolen twenty or thirty times during the season of 1911, used at night for hours at a time and brought back to the garage undamaged In nearly every Instance. There Is a strong suspicion on ther part of the owners that the car was taken tot unlawful purposes and that In fact It was used during the summer nights on the travel tours of a gang of (burglars. Strange as it may seem the members Of the family had no knowledge until very recently that the car had been out at night. There are in the family two brothers who have frequently driven the car and a third brother understands the handling of, the car, but has not In any instance gone out alone will, it.

To this fact alone Is due the knowledge that strangers have been making use of the automobile. The burglary theory sticks In the minds of the owners. It has been known all summer that night prowlers have been going about the Island using a motor car and the Times has repeatedly told of their depredations. Several times the thieves were enabled to get away toy the experKuse of a swift car. In no case was the number of the machine detected and there have been, no arrests for the orlmes that were commit- ted by the motor car crowd.

It would probably have remained a secret to this day that the car had been out at night had not the youngest brother decided to go to Rlverhead In the car at a time when his two brothers were away. He tried In vain to get some one to run the car for him, and, falling In this, the car remained in the garage. When the brothers returned at night all was well with the car. About fifteen minutes later the neighbors saw the car taken out, as usual, and It did not return until early morning. AH three brothers were at home.

The neighbor chanced to mention -the fact of the car Having gone out ana then came out the whole story. It seems the neighbors had noticed many times during the summer that the car was taken out In the evening and Was not brought hack until three, four or even five o'clock in the mornlnjr. Thev posed that the owners were out with It ana wondered "now tne boys couia stand It to.be at work all day and out riding all night" as one of them said. It Is believed that the car was out twenty or thirty times without the knowledge or consent of the owners. The automobile is a lare car.

welehlnir about 8,600 pounds, and it would take tnree men at leasi, to pusn tne car up a little knoll from the garage to get out on the highway without using the motor. This must have been done iof otherwise the exhaust would have been heard by tne owners. i. CHILDREN ARRAYED AGAINST THEIR MOTHER Numerous Allegations Contained In Son's Petition to Surrogate-, x.
