ASKS A GREATER DIVIDEND
Attorney Thinks OfBoer & Puiey Bank Can
Pay Fire Far Cent How.
NO NEED TO KEEP LARGE RESERVE FUND
Points Oat Haw He Thinks tna
Aasaaat Necessary Meet His
Reoiaa.e-aartia Caa Be
ProVnrea".
Attorney J. , J. Stewart, to whom the last
report of Receivers Bereshelm and Mur
phy of the Officer fc Pusey bank wss re
ferred by Judge Macy of the district court
for examination by him, yesterday filed
a motion asking thst the court order the
receiver to pay a dividend of t per cent
Instead of I per cent, as recommended by
them. -1
In. making this application. Attorney
Stewart, who Is also administrator of th
estate of the late Thomas Officer, senior
member of the defunct banking firm, states
that his examination of the report leads
him to the opinion that the funds in the
hands of the receivers are ample to pay
the larger dividend. He states , that ha
believes It unnecessary to retain a large
balance in the hands of the receivers, and
as the creditors of the bank have waited
four years for their money, there should
be the largest dividend possible paid at
this time, while protecting the interests of
all parties. ' , .
The report of the receivers, filed recently
when they asked for an order authorising
the payment of a dividend of I per cnt,
showed they had 128,639.57 on hand. To
this Mr. Stewart states there should be
added the, balance due from Leonard Ever
ett on sale of real estate, which can be col
lected at any time, $1,600, making the sum
available $30,139.67. From this must be
deducted, according to Mr. Stewart's fig
ures, IS70.47 still due on former dividends,
leaving the net amount available for pay
ment of a t per cent dividend $29,369.10.
Reaoarses and Liabilities.
The total liabilities of the bank after de
ducting preferred claims, etc., was I5G9,
682.89 and a t per cent dividend on this
amount would bs $28,484.14. Deducting the
I per cent dividend from the $29,669.10 would
leave a balance of $1,084.96 in the hands of
the receivers.
In addition Mr. Stewart shows that there
are other available assets certain to be
realised as follows: Collection, E. A. Wlck
ham. $1,000; real estate, $10,240, this est!
mate. being $2,700 less than the appraised
value; due on good bills receivable, $1,200,
making, a total of. $13,624.96, which the re
ceivers can make available at short no
tice. In addition . to this, Mr. Stewart .says
that the admlnlstrstor of, the estate of
the )ate W. H. M. Pusey has $1,600 which,
less a small amount for the expenses of
administration, he Is prepared to turn over
to the receivers on order of the court.
With this sum the total amount - which
could, do coon In the hands of the re
ceivers after paying the 6 per cent divi
dend would he $15,126.96, which would be
ample to meet. all possible Indebtedness of
the estate.
Mr, Stewart calls attention to the fact
that-mie tf the receivers-w paid $1,600 In
the time ' between the filing ot . the third
and the last report.
In making these calculations Attorney
8tewart states that all doubtful assets
fhave been omitted and the value of the
real estate still unsold reduced $2,700 below
the figures of the appraisers and that only
good saleable real estate and personalty,
which are oertaln to be realised on by the
receivers, ' have been Included. .
Judge Macy Hook the recommendation of
Attorney Stewart under advisement and is
expected to make an order today.

STATE BOARD TO PASS ON EXAMINATIONS

(From a Staff Correspondent.)
DES MOINES, Oct. 25. (Special.) The
educator of Iowa have started a move
ment to bring about a complete reform In
the manner of Issuing teachers' certifi
cates and -conducting examinations, and
Stat Superintendent 3. F. Rlgga will pre
sent th matter to the convention of the
teacher of southwestern Iowa at Red
Oak at the meeting next week for the ap
proval of that body. Ths teacher at th
convention held in Dubuque passed resolu
tions Indorsing th movement, and it waa
favorably . received at ' the meeting held
in the other two corner Of th state. It
will also go before the State association
at the meeting here next December, after
which It I believed the- measure can be
got through the legislature. The plan is
to havs the teachers' certificates uniform
and good throughout the atate and to have
the cholastlc test for the teachers entirely
by the State Educational board. The ques
tions for the scholastic test sre now pre
pared by the State board, but they are
placed in the hand . of county superin
tendents, who do the rest. Now It Is pro
posed to have the examination papers re
turned and all be subject to examination
by the State board, so that the work will
be entirely removed .from all local and po
litical influences. Superintendent Rlggs
urged A bill to effect this before the last
legislature. He contends that It would
greatly Increase the efficiency of teachers
and rata the standard In the state. This
would have the effect of compelling the
districts to pay better v wages, for the
teacher would be mora difficult to get..
The fact that the teacher could go Into
any county of the state with their certifi
cates would also be an- advantage to them.
"I want to see the time In' Iowa," he says,
"and I hope to see It very soon, when the
strong, successful teacher can demand
reasonable wages for her services and
when she can say to the school board,
'If you do not wish my services at a fair
salary I will teach somewhere else.' She

Mlssloa Work,
BOSTON,' Oct. 18. Th triennial general
conference of the Episcopal church, which
has been In session here since October B,
waa ended late today with a publio service
in Trinity church. From the pulpit Bishop
Henry C. Potter of New York read a
pastoral letter addressed to th church at
large. Th communication, which consisted
of mors than 1,000 words, considered tha
problems now before th country. Regard
ing divorce, the pastoral said that the
facility with which tha marriage relation
'may bo taken on and put off la one of
the menaces of American civilisation, to
the possible peril of which Christian peo
ple are aa yet very Imperfectly aroused.
The letter mad a plea for the permanence
and security of the family. It also, dis
cussed th negro problem, statjng that tha
church was taking steps to correct the sit
uation so far as possllbe. Other ques
tions wer dealt with.
Little business of Importance was trans
acted at the final business session. A reso
lution permitting foreign congregations
now In communion with th church to
us form of service In their own tongue
was adopted after a sharp contest. This
legislation waa enacted for th benefit of
the Swedish congregations in Minnesota,
v Mew Canoa aa Divorce,
The chief feature of the three weeks'
convention, aside from the visit of the
archbishop of Canterbury, were the dis
cussions bearing on marriage and divorce.
Although a majority favored a canon which
would prohlblU4ne remarrlag of any di
vorced person, th eystem of voting by
diocese and order in the house of depu
ties enabled th opponent of th pro
posed reform to win In that body. After
much discussion a compromise . waa ar
ranged with th bishops whereby th In
nocent party la a divorce for Infidelity
I permitted to, remarry one year after
th divorce I Issued, but th restric
tions ar so stringent that It becomes ex
ceedingly difficult for such marriages to b
solemnised.
f'oart af Retlerr.
Th convention also decided to establish
courts of review to which appeal from
diocesan trial can b taken. It perfected
auch arrangement that th missionary
work of th church will be carried on with
raor vigor and appointed a Joint com
mission to Investigate the negro problem
la the south.
Among th many negative action taken
wa the decision not to change the nam
of th cbunh at till time nor to act on
th proposition to group th diocese Into
provinces with a primate at the head ot
each.
The nest convention will be held in Rich
