SETBACK FOR GRIFFITH
Flour City Man Loses Land and Is
Sued for Damages.

Tacoma, Wash, April pa Whatcom
special says that a claim has been filed
on all property owned by ]. NJ. Griffith
in Whatcom county by H. B. Strand, who
is suing him to recover the property af-
fected by this proceeding and for $4,000
damages in addition.
In 1885, Griffith, who is resident of
Minneapolis, sold Strand a stock of gen
eral merchandise, and in payment took a
mortgage on 1t and on large tracts of
land.
The stock of merchandise was unsal-
able, and as a result Griffith recovered
his stock on the mortgage and took all
Of Strands property soon afterwards un-
der foreclosure proceedings. Afterwards
Strand brought suit in the federal court
of the state of Minnesota to recover his
property, alleging that the goods had
been misrepresented to him.
The district court rendered verdict
adverse to him. From this he appealed
to the circuit court of appeals, which re-
versed the verdict in Strands favor. This
has just been done, and Strands suit now
is to quiet title to his recovered property
and to secure damages against Griffith.

CLARK A REAL COPPER KING
He Is Said to Be Negotiating for a
New Process of Manufacture.

London, April Ex-senator Clark's visit
to Europe is likely to confirm his claim
to the title of copper king. He will be
able to dictate terms to every copper
foundry in the United States if the deal
which is reported goes through.
This deal means the acquisition by the
Mantana senator of a newly discovered
process by which bars, sheets and tubes
can be manufactured from crude material
almost at the pits mouth. This will
mean a saving of something like 500 a
ton on the finished material. The process
is electrolytic and closely analogous to
the electrolytic refining method by which
100000 tons of copper were refined in the
United States last year. The new process
uses the same amount of electrical energy
per ton of metal as the old, but is worked
at a rate ten times greater and in max
ing bar copper for subsequent melting a
rate twenty times greater is said to have
been successfully used
The British Canadian rights have al
ready been secured by syndicates and it
is understood Senator Clark has an op-
tion on the American rights, the pur-
chase price running into six figures

RULES BY A BANKER
j. B. FOrgan Talks to Minneapolis
Bank Clerks.

j. b. Forgan, president of the First Ma
tional bank of Chicago. formerly banker
of Minneapolis was the chief speaker at
the second annual banquet Of the Mime
apolis Banf Clerks association given at the
West Hotel Saturday evening
S. s. Cook, president of the association,
introduced Mr.. Forgan, who had announced
his subject as 'How to Arrive at a Decision
in Regard to the Desirability Of Notes Offered
for Discount" Mr.. Forgan said the essential
points for the bank to consider were the
genuineness of the note; whether it was in
legal form; whether the time of payment was
reasonably short; whether it was given for
value received, and the responsibility of the
customer who made the note
Among other things he cautioned the bank
ers to beware Of the customer who "kites''
his paper. He spoke also of the peculiarities
of the national bankruptcy law, which pro-
vides for direct obligations at the time of
the bankruptcy proceedings and not for con-
tingent liabilities. Mr.. Forgan said also that
banks should have a bureau of credit and
that the customer should make regularly an
unreserved statement of his liabilities and
assets
DR.. w. w. Folwell made a few remarks
and was followed by S. r. Flynn Of the Sec
ond National. bank Of st. Paul. His subject
was 1.-The Bank Clerks and the Bank Off
GERS" Among other things Mr.. Flynn urged
the clerks not to be discouraged because
mediocre clerks were advanced over them for
family reasons or because Of influence of
wealth, for ultimate success is due to merit
alone. DR.. ]. S. Montgomery and Joseph
Chapman, Jr., also made addresses.
