Decision Reserved in Chosen Friends Case at New York Supreme Court
In New York Supreme Court the affairs of the Order of Chosen Friends, an Indiana corporation, were debated in a case brought by the National Bank of New York as depository. Sophia Anderson seeks 1084 while the bank holds 727 of the order funds and seeks court permission to deposit rather than pay. The bank argues Anderson’s claim predates receiver Cyrne J. Park’s appointment, while Anderson asserts the bank should pay. Decision reserved. Beveridge in St Petersburg. Senator Albert J. Beveridge arrived for inquiries into Rosales trade conditions and planned Siberia travel amid talks with officials. An error from Decatur misread a suicide notice, confusing Gus Ehinger with Charles Ehringer.
