WICKHAM OBJECTS TO SALE
Overdraft of Receiver Murphy. Dis
posed of for One Dollar.
OBJECTOR THINKS HE SHOULD PAY
Oart Is Requested to Order Hint ts
Do and in Kvrnt of Failure of
Demand to Hare gait Brought
on Receiver's Bond.
E. A. Wlrkham filed In the district court
yesterday objection to the report of Re
ceivers Rershelni and Murphy aa t.i the
sale of the la.nl remaining assets of thi
defunct banking firm of Officer & Vurey,
which was held last Saturday at the
county court house by Receiver Murphy.
Among the assets sold by Receiver L. F.
Murphy was an overdraft of JK57.85 due by
Murphy at the time the Officer & Pueey
bank went Into the bands of receivers.
Thla overdraft was sold by Receiver Mur
phy at the public sale last , Saturday to
John M. Matthews, former county auditor,
for the sum of fl. To this Mr. Wlckham,
In his objection filed yesterday, takes enr
ceptlon.
After calling attention to the fact that
Mr. Murphy up to date has received the
sum of $10,600 for hla services as receiver,
Mr. Wlckham alleges that Murphy has no
Sight to sell Ms own overdraft, hut that
as receiver he should have collected same
for the benefit of the many creditors of
tha defunct bank. Mr. Wlckham also states
that he believes and charges the fact to be
that the court In Issuing the order of the
ale of the remaining assets waa not aware
of the existence of the overdraft In question
and thnt Its existence was willfully and
Intentionally withheld from the knowledge
of the court.
He asks that the sale of the overdraft
be declared null and void and that an order
lasua directing Mr. Murphy to pay same
with interest, from the date of the execu
tion of the overdraft and that In the event
q the failure of Receiver Murphy to pay
such overdraft and Interest the court to
direct that suit be brought against the re
ceivers and their bondsmen to recover the
amount of the , overdraft and Interest
thereon.

COMMERCIAL
CLl'B
SeTeral In trrrstlna; Addresses on
Various Topics.
The monthly luncheon and smoker of the
Commercial club, held at the Grand hotel
last night, brought out an attendance of
125 of the representative business and pro
fessional men of the city. The first speaker
of the evening waa C. M. Atherton. presi
dent and general manager of the Western !
Mutual Life Insurance company of Council
Bluffs, whose subject waa "Modern Old
Line Life Insurance." .. He declared that
old line life Insurance had atood the test
of time without a (law for over 187 yeara;
that famines, floods and earthquakes did
not affect It; that hard times, panics and
good times were as one to It. Mr. Ather
ton Illustrated his address with a large
chart.
C. E. Walters, publisher of the Confiden
tial Banker of thla city, followed with a
paper on "A Central Bank and Postal Sav
ings Banks." Mr. Walters showed that'he
was not in favor of either proposition. A
central bank, audi aa has been suggested
as a remedy for the recent financial flurry,
he contended, would require an enormous
capital and the political objections would
be icfcurmountable. He expressed the fear
that If such a ban'i was located In Wash
ington, as had been auggeated, It would be
dominated by Wall street. He' spoke In
favor of the government aecurlng deposits
In national banks, and this, he contended,
would be the solution of the question.
The recent flurry in the financial world,
he ald, was due to an "over-credit mania"
and not to a lack of confidence In the
banks by the public. At the same time
he thought the banka had shown a lack of
confidence In themselves. A central bank
and postal savings banks might do for
nionarehlal countries, hut in his opinion
they would not meet with favor tn demo
cratic America.
The closing address of the' evening was
by Harvry Ingham, editor of the Des
Moines Register and Leader, who spoke
cn "The Commission Form of Government"
recently adopted In Des Moines. While the
system has not as yet been given a auffl-
lent trial to warrant any assertion that
it was a step In advance of the old form
of municipal government, Mr. Ingham pre
dicted much good from It. Much, how
ever, depemled, he admitted, upon the class
of men elected to carry out such a form of
government, which placed the control of
the city's affairs In the hands of a few.
His address wak largely devoted to ex
plaining the workings . of th commission
form of government as contrasted with ths
old plan.

Poller Confident Ynnng Thompson Una
"klnped Ont.
The police are firmly of the opinion that
Rlph D. Thompson, the missing collector
of the Nebraska Telephone company, has
not committed suicide and further that he
had no Intention of doing so. They re
gard the letter left by the young man for
his roommate, Luther Myers, as a mere
bluff. This belief wss strengthened yes
terday when the nolfce learned that before
leaving his room lit the Wlatt residence on
Fourth street young Thompson had care
fully gathered together all of his clothing
and other belongings and taken them away
with him. All he left behind was an anti
quated, broken-dnwn hand grip In which
were found a discarded pair of hose, a
frayed shirt collar and a toothbrush of
ancient vintage.
Not only waa young Thompson careful to
take away all hla belongings with him, but
he did not overlook a small aum of money
which he had paid In advance to Mr. Wlatt
for hla hoard. This at Thompson's request,
Mr. Wlatt refunded the young man Tues
day morning. Thompson at the time told
Mr. Wlatt he Intended going to his home
In Ames, but that If he should return to
Council Bluffs he would be pleased to
patronize the Wlatt place again. The
amount refunded by Mr. Wlatt was $3.
It further developed yesterday that
Thompaon left a note for A. P. Fair, local
manager of the Nebraska Telephone com
pany, In which he admitted he was short
about $10 In his collections Tuesdav.
If a formal complaint Is filed against
Thompson, It Is the Intention of Chief
RiMimond to Issue cards giving a descrip
tion of the young man and offer a reward
for his arrest.
