Judgo Green In his declslan and
opinion In tho suit of Kllza
beth Field against tho Kastera Build
ing and Loan association of Syracuse, X.
V which wero received hero yesterday by
tho clerk of tho district court, arralgno in
no uncertain terms the business methods of
the defendant company. Tho decision Is In
favor of tho plaintiff for tho full amount of
1300, tho face valuo of flvo shares of stock
In tho defendant company, which sho sued
for. It also Btintalns her attachment of
sovcral lots In this city. Tho decision Is of
consldornblo Interest, there nro other suits
of a similar character pending In the dis
trict court hero against tho association.
Thu decision recites that tho plaintiff
brings suit on n certificate of stock con
taining a contract that upon tho payment of
certain sums for a specified period by the
plaintiff tho defendant would at tho end of
such period pay back to tho plaintiff a cor
tain sum. By this contract absolute promise
Ih mado to pay plaintiff $100 for each Bharo
of stock at tho end of seventy-eight months
from dato In consideration of the payment
of "5 cents per sharo until tho same Is ma
tured. Tho plaintiff made such payments,
and tho pica of tho defendant that the
seventy-eight months mentioned In tho con
tract must bo considered simply nt an cstl
mated period of maturity Is not sustained
by tho only construction ablo to bo placed
uoon tho contract. Tho languago could
not bo plainer. Thoro Is no ambiguity,
Soventy-clght months cannot mean 100.
U Is also said that tho articles of Incor
poration and by-lawB contemplato that tho
defendant should bo a mutual association,
nil stock sharing equally In its earnings.
Sush is not the case. Tho contract was In
substanco that tho plaintiff's stock should
bo paid nt a certain specified time, regard
lews of tho losses or tho profits. It Is Idle
to assert that tho plaintiff should havo
known that tho earnlngB of tho company
would not Justify tho payment of tho high
rate of Interest promised. Tho ovldenco
In tho caso shows that they wero obtained
for tho first year after tho stock was taken
out.
The authorities oro abundant that the do
fendant, having received tho benefit of tho
plaintiff's performance of tho contract, can
not now ropudlato it on the ground that U
Ih ultra vires, without returning tho money
advanced. (
In conclusion tho opinion states: "It
said that plaintiff would not bo benefited by
enforcing tho contract. If this wero true
It would bo no defense, but tho evidence ns
to the per cent earned on Its Investments
by tho defendant shows that tho sooner Its
affalra aro wound up the bettor for all con

Tho unfortunnto man was on top of the

through. The company has been unablo to
realize on its bonds, and all tho apparont
financial backing It has had was compara
tlvely small Bums advanced by crcduluoun
men, who wero more hopeful ot tho plans
materializing than thoy were that tho
scheme would bo n success. It wns owing
to tho Inability of tho company to dlsposo
of Its bonds In New York thnt It became
necessary to permit aid In the shnpo of
taxes levied along tho line to lapse. This
occurred at Nevada.

On a holding 'bf tho state auditor's de
partment that the Equitable Building nnd
Loan association of Ottumwa has for Eorao
time past been doing business contrary to
the laws of Iowa, Attorney General Rcmley
left today for Ottumwa to investigate tho
affairs of the association In question. Sec
tion 1907 of tho code provides that when tho
auditor has sulllclont information to con
vlnco him that any building and loan asso
ciation of tho state is violating tho laws
governing such concerns he shall turn tho
affairs of such association over to tho attor
noy general.
Somo tlmo ago the fact was mado public
that tho state auditor questioned tho moth
ods of business employed by the Equitable
aosoclatlon of Ottumwa nnd that this had
been brought to tho nttentlon of the nttor
ney genernl. As a result of this Mr. Rem
