DOLLAR FOR DOLLAR
BANK OF MINNESOTA sHAREHOLD-
ERS NOT LIABLE FOR TWICE
THEIR HOLDINGS
so JUDGE OTIS HAS DECIDED

Bank Never Having Issued Bank
Notes Not Liable Under the DOu-
BILE Liability Law-Five Per Cent
Dividend to Creditors, the Fourth
Accounting of the Receivers, Is
Approved by the Court.
The stockholders of the Bank of Min
nesota are liable only for the amount of
their holdings, according to a decision
flied yesterday in thu case of Frank A.
Seymour ct al, as receivers, against the
Bank Of Minnesota ct al. its stockhold-
ers. The action was brought to enforce
the double liability Of the stockholders
under the constitutional provision that
stockholders Of banks issuing bank notes
shall be individually liable for It's debts
in double the amount of stock owned by
them individually The defunct bank
was stocked for $500, 900, but owing to the
insolvency of many Of the stockholders,
the receivers only figured on getting
about 100000 for distribution among the
creditors, and the effect of the judges
decision is to cut that amount in two.
The court submits a long memorandum
on the matter.
AS regards the original contention, the
court finds that the bank has never avail
ed itself of its privilege of issuing bank
notes and therefore would not come IN
der the constitutional proviso The re-
ceivers based their case on two other
points that the court overruIe. The stock
holders had commended that the act of
1885 had reduced their liability and against
this the plaintiffs set up the plea that
the legislative act Of 1885 was not suffi-
GENTLY explicit in its terms and that even
If 1t were broad enough to cover the case
at issue, it was unconstitutional any
way
1t was claimed by the receivers that
about $500,00o of the Indebtedness had
been replaced by certificates Of tndebt-
edness and that these had from time to
time been renewed. The greater portion
had originated prior to 1895, and the GER
tificates were merely a renewal Of the
debt and therefore it was lot within the
power Of the legislature to pass retroact-
i've laws This point the court holds
was well taken, but 1t was also held
that the certificates of deposit do not
go back, but operate in satisfaction, and
therefore constitute a new Indebtedness.
THE stockholders are in the same posi-
ton as retiring partners i'll firm that
continues business" says the court SEN
tentiouSly.
Judge Otis, in district court yesterday,
approved and allowed the fourth account
ing of the receivers of the Bank of Min
nesota and granted an application for
permission to pay an additional dividend
Of per cent to the creditors.

Assistant Attorney General Donahewer
returned from Duluth yesterday, where
he represented the state in several con-
tests in the Duluth land office over the
possession of valuable timber sections.
Under the homestead law settlers can file
on school sections, before the survery
has been made, and the state is allowed
to select another section III lieu of the
one filed on. OF course the best section
in the two Is usually taken up and the
state usually suffers from having sec
ond choice in the matter.
The cases have been brought to test
the good faith of the homesteaders, as
the land in number of these school sec
lions in towns that have been recently
surveyed is very valuable for the tim
ber It is claimed that the land has
been taken by spectators, for its tim
Der, without any intention of making
home, such as the law requires. The
state Is contesting the validity Of the
proof submitted by a number of so-called
homesteaders, who are trying to prove
UP on their claims.

for animals which were considered two
or three years ago only fit for the abat-

market is due to an increased demand
particularly from the government for
animals for use in the military service

Millions In Sight.

At the Clearing house this morning
private information was received, al
most direct from Alaska, that between
this time and the middle of August
between twenty-five millions and thirty
millions of gold will come to the
United States as a result of the winters
mining operations in Alaska and the
Yukon district. A very careful esti-
mate has been made by the director of
the mint of the output from mines in
the states and territories of the Union,
and it is inspiring to see has experts as
they point 20 their figures showing that
we are producing about five millions of
new gold from our mines a month.
The gold from the Yukon and Alaska,
in addition to that which is coming
from the mines in our states and ter
rltorles, will undoubtedly, before the
first of September, enabled the United
States to make the worlds record and
to claim more than one billion in gold
in circulation or in reserve in this
country.
Up to year and half ago we were
second among the nations of the world,
and little earlier third or even farther
down upon the list. When Mckinley
was inaugurated President, France was
ahead of us, and, although France has
lost comparatively little of her gold
supply, yet from the day of McKinley's
inauguration we began gaining on that
country until about a year ago we
passed her. We are now nearly two
hundred millions ahead of her, and
there is no other European nation that
comes as near our own dazzling record
as France does.
1t has seemed strange to many per-
sons who have been studying the sub
ject that Notwithstanding the great in
crease in the amount of gold we hold
there is has not yet come an appreci-
able rise in prices of commodities that
can be traced directly to our increased
supply of gold. The best informed say
that the increase in the price of steel
products, which is so amazing and
which does not interfere thus far with
the sale OF those products, it due to
other causes than the plentitude of
gold But it is believed that already
the signs of appreciation in the price
OF commodities can be detected by close
observers. For a long time the steadi-
ness of pplces, Notwithstanding the in
crease of gold, puzzled the experts, but
they are now agreed that this is due to
the fact that comparatively little of
the gold has gone in circulation. More
and more of it is getting inIo circula-
tIon and the suspicion here is that one
Of the reasons perhaps the chief rea-
son why the Secretary of Treasury Mr..
Gage, declines to issue gold certificates
is cause he desires to have the coin
itself pass into circulation, believing
that Ooth the political and commercial
effect of that will be of the highest
benefit. The otner reason that is
given, namely that the Secretary does
not feel called upon to supply vaults
for the gold bankers, is deemed by
bankers here absurd. 1t is too trivial
a reason, they say, to be seriously put
forth by the Secretary of the Treasury.

issued it's semi-annual report showing the
progress made by the railroads of the
United States in the matter of equipping
their freight cars and locomotives with
safety appliances in accordance with the
act of Congress approved March 2, 1893
The statement shows the advancement
made between December 81, 1885, and June
1, 1899.
OF the 294 railroad companies that have
been granted two years additional time in
which to perfect their equipment thirty
one roads were merged in other companies
and one road failed to make return to the
commission. This leaves 262 roads that
reported an aggregate of 1,251, AS freight
cars and 34,7S7 locomotives owned June l.,
1899. OF the freight cars during the six
months ending June 1, 1928 were re-
ported as having been equipped with auto
matte couplers and 79,554 with train brakes,
which brings the total so equipped up to
1,040 TAT, or So per cent, of the freight cars
equipped with automatic couplers and
Cos, 719, or SO per cent, equipped with train
brakes.
OF the 347S7 locomotives owned on June
1, 1899, 81, 426, or 90 per cent, are equipped
with driving wheel brakes.
There are 211 ,26S freight cars out of a
total of 1.251, 415. or II per cent, that are
not equipped with automatic couplers, 552,
500, or Al per cent, that are uneQuipped

of the locomotives not equipped with driv-
ing wheel brakes to June 1 last.
