In the Provident Institutions for Savings have been a large number of deposits to which no additions have been made for many years and the depositors are rt known. Acting under the piovlsloiis of chapter 310 of the acta of 1W7 Attorney General Malone oidered that, as the de posits have remained unclaimed for more than thirty years without any knuwn claim ants, tliote interested, if any, should ap pear at the probate court to show cause why these moneys should nut be turned over to the state. The Provident Institution was represented by John C. Giuy as bei.ior counsel, and William Ropes Trask, the hitler appearing In person. The Interests of a single de positor were represented by I'hanes F. Hall and the attorney general's office by Fred T. Field one oi Mr. Malone's assist ants. These three were in close conference with Judge Grant for a half hour. Judgo Grant upheld the constitutionality of the new law, while tho Provident insti tution I ok the opi-us.te vie, contending that the statute is vol J and ui-onJtili-tional, being in violation of tne fouil-en h amendment as depriving persons of their property without due j rocess of lav sod In violation of the state constitution, aiJ fur ther, In contravention of toe federal con stitution as liiipjini.g obi. gallons for con tracts.
