STATE BAKING LAWS
Discussed at the Meeting Of the
Board of Trade

At the board of trade meeting yester-
day an animated discussion took place
over the resolution of j. NJ. Bartlett
regarding the issuance OF currency by
state banks.
The resolution provided for the enact
ment of national banking law, under
which the different states can allow
state banks to issue currency upon a
basis safe to the people and equitable
to the banks, and remove, if found to
exist, Objectionable features Of the
present national banking system, where
by they can retire their circulation and
thereby disturb business at any time
money is plenty, and bonds held by the
government TO secure such circulation
bear high premium and bring on a
money stringency when every. other
condition is favorable to national and
domestic prosperity.
Mr.. Bartlett supported his measure in
speech which was followed with re-
marks by L. Powers, who deprecated
repetition of the currency had before
the war, and further speeches were
by F. N. Stacy and Maj. Bassett.
Final consideration of the subject was
laid over for one week.

THAT ALIBI STORY.
The Sheriff Does Not Place Con.
fidence in 1t.

The attempt to prove an alibi for Dick
Reed, accused of the murder of j. R.
Harris, on the testimony OF RolIie
Beaver, one of his associates, is not re-
garded as of any consequence by Sheriff
Eye. According to Beavers statement
Reed went to Lake Harriet on the night
OF the Harris murder in company with
Miss johnson, of the St. Paul News
boys home, and Miss Esteila Myers,
daughter of the superintendent of the
st. Cloud reformatory. The young ladies
told Beaver that Reed had been with
them, and Beaver supplements the story
by asserting that Reed was in his room
in St. Paul as late as 80 D. III.
Sheriff Eye says he has no doubt that
Miss johnson, who has been Reeds
guardian. took an interest in him, and
that he might have gone to Lake Har-
riett with her the night of the murder.
but the fact that he was in st. Paul at
80 p. IN. would not have prevented
him from being in Minneapolis at 2 80
a. IN.
The sheriff left last evening for trip
down South for the benefit of his health,
which has been poor of late.

ON THE WARPATH.
Irate Property Owners After Nc.
AlliSter's ScaID.

And now some of the property owners
whose blocks were named in the Nc
Allister ordinance, which passed the
council the other night are Threatening
to bring suit against the city for bring
ing their places into disrepute. 1t is
claimed by some attorneys who were at
the city hall yesterday, and who claim
to represent the property owners. that
of the thirty or forty places mentioned
as where gambling may exist, only ten
or twelve have ever been known as
such. One of the locations named is a
business block on Nicollet avenue oc-
cupied by large retail store, and the
owner is very lrate over the implied ac-
cusatfon and may bring a heavy libel
suit as result. The mayor was con-.
suited by several parties regard
ing the McAllister ordinance
yesterday, and number of
actions may be brought in the next
few days, unless the aldermen adont
some concilatory tactics and SQUARE
themselves with the offended citizens.
The prospects are that lively discus.
sion will take place at the next council
meeting, as some of the aforesaid citl-
zens may call upon McAllister to be
more explicit in his insinuations. In
the meantime Aid. McA lister Is serene
and says he only asked for an investiga-
ton to ascertain if gambling did exist
at those places and that this ordinance
made no definite assertion of the fact.

Ole Sanford and Herman Hanson en-
gagged in an alteration last night in a

headquarters with the blood streaming
from an extensive scalp wound. San

Oh the head with a billiard cue. Lieut..

and Sanford was taken to the city hos
pital, and after his wounds were dressed

LIABILITY OF STOCKHOLDERS
1t Is Soon to Be Tested in the
Courts.

Hans Olson has brought all action to
test the liability of the stockholders of
the State bank, and the demurrer to his
complaint was argued before Judge
Hicks yesterday. The defense claimed
that the action was duplicate for the
reason that the insolvency proceedings
were the only ones through which
all parties could obtain all their rights.
and while these proceedings were pend
ing no other action could be brought.
The court held differently, maintaining
that the insolvency proceedings were
intended to simply take the matter out
of the hands of the debtor. The court
sustained the defense in the contention
that no action could be brought against
the stockholders until the estate had
been settled and the exact shortage TO
be paid by the stockholders could be
shown. The court held that the liability
of the stockholders was not a debt. but
was wholly a contingent liability, 10
apply upon failure of the estate to
settle the debts.
Judge hicks finally overruled the
demurrer. and the suit will therefore go
to trial. As there are some forty-three
stockholders affected, besides those in
other banks, the result of the trial Is
looked forward to with interest.
