friends on the fact that his vigorous
health promised him many years in
which to enjoy the esteem of that large
and devoted following which he has so

Gray was man of remarkable power

votes of the old than he brings from
the new. This was not the case with
Governor Gray, as he usually led his

These are all the provisions in the ma
tional bank law relating to the liability
of directors. and while they make direc-

violating the law they do not create a
liability for the attestation of false re-

attesting directors know the reports to
be false. Judge Bakers decision adds
the common law liability Of directors to
those imposed by the national bank law,
and these materially increase the Pc
cuniary responsibility ana risk of the

has been in that direction, but none has
gone as far as does Judge Bakers. 1t

had been an active candidate himself
Mr.. Voorhees, would probably have been
defeated. These facts show his wonder
fui power as personal leader. The
secret Of that power was in his ability
to attach men to him because he never
forgot them. Pending the nomination of
Mr.. Cleveland, in 1892. when the tide
had set in favor of Mr.. Cleveland, Gov.
Gray's friends were able to. secure the
Indiana delegation for him. So strong
was his hold that the Cleveland leaders
were practically compelled to assure his
friends of the second place upon the
ticket to prevent a powerful combination
against the man who won. Mr.. Cleve-
lands friends did not keep their pledge.
but Mr.. Cleveland recognized Mr.. Gray's
great service to him by nominating him
for minister to Mexico at the very be-
ginning of his administration.
Governor Gray was a lifelong politician
because he delighted in leadership. He
was ambitious for Office rather for the
power 1T gave him than for the emolu-
ment. His campaigns never ended. A
battle won or lost he Immediately be-
gan to plan the next. But in these cam
paigns he never displayed other than
machine methods. He never became the
advocate of progressive politics or at

LIABILITY OF NATIONAL BANK
DIRECTORS.
BANK

The decision of United States Judge
Baker in the case against certain direc-
tors of the defunct Indianapolis National
Bank is not so much the declaration of
a new principle Of law as a new appli-
cation of an old principle. 1t has long
been a well-settled principle of common
law that the directors of a bank or
other moneyed corporation are liable
for fraudulent statements, reports or rep
reservations as to the financial condition
of the concern by which others are in
duced to deposit money or invest in it's
stock, thereby suffering loss. and the de-
filming what are fraudulent statements.
It is also settled law that if the direc-
tors of a bank are guilty of negligence
in permitting it to be held out to the
public as solvent, when, in fact, it is in
solvent, thereby inducing persons to de-
post money with the bank which is
lost by reason of it's insolvency, the di-
rectors are personally liable. The
popularity of Judge Bakers decision is
that 1t extends these common law prin-
ciples to the directors of an insolvent
national bank which has passed into the
hands of a receiver, thus in effect Great
ing new liability and adding a new
penalty to those defined in the national
bank law. That law does not impose
any greater liability on the directors of
a national bank than it does on other
stockholders. 1t makes every stock
holder in a national bank individually
responsible, equally and ratably," for
all it's debts to double the amount of
their stock. No additional liability is
placed on directors. The law says that
leach director, when appointed or elect
ed, shall take an oath that he will, so
far as the duty devolves on him, diligent-
ly and honestly administer the affairs
OF such association. and will not know
ingly violate, or willingly permit to be
violated. any of the provisions of this
law" The law further provides that
every national bank shall make not less
than five reports during each year, veri-
fed by the oath of the president
and attested by the signature of at least
three of the directors. The penalty for
knowingly violating any of these pro-
visions is forfeiture Of the banks char
ter land in cases of such violation every
director who participated in or assented
to the same shall be held liable in his
