National Convention Is Opened at
Washington.
Washington, Sept. 1.-THE National
Association Of Supervisors Of State
banks began a three days convention
in Washington today. The examiners
gathered at the treasury building and
were addressed by Lawrence o. MUIR
ray, comptroller Of the currency.
Murray proposed that state supervisors
work in cooperation with national ex-
aminers. He declared he had in his
Office a list of men. who. as officers
Of national banks, had proved incom-
petent and had been removed from Of
flee, and said that If any Of them
should make application to organize
state banks their names would be fur
nished to the state banking authorities.
In turn he proposed that the state SUI
pervisors furnish to the national sys-
tenn the names Of men who had been
driven out Of state banks.
During the last eighteen months the
comptroller said he had refused 1OS
applications to. form national banks
because tie men, behind them had
been found incompetent or dishonest;
that there was NOT enough business
to make the. proposed institutions
profitable or that the applicants were
spectators or men without standing
in their communities.

Hill, the empire builder" has come
out strongly for confidence. and as
strongly in condemnation Of those who
are afraid to invest capital in BUSH
ness enterprises in the country at the
present time. saying there are no real
reasons for such fear.
In an interview given out today he
speaks with characteristic phrase and
vigor on business conditions, the "bus-
mess paralysis as he calls it. and, in
high dudgeon at them, describes the
pessimists without justification, liken-

congress which has just closed its very
interesting sessions here" said Mr..
Hill. talked about conserving water
and conserving land, about conserving
coal and conserving iron; but nobody
said word about conserving common
sense. A senseless lack of confidence
makes men afraid to engage in new
enterprises. And why a lack Of con-
fdence? I'll tell you. Some man,
somewhere, has grown timid over
something or other and has cried boo
to his neighbor. His neighbor prob
ably jumped, and the next fellow took
fright without knowing why he was
frightened. And SO on.
Its just like flock Of sheep. II
one starts to run, every sheep in that
flock will follow, even If they die for
It. ~
"a word or two to these people would
have been good and proper. There's an
article in the September North Ameri-
can Review dealing with conservation
of common sense that well illustrates
the business conditions of this coun-
try right now and gives as panacea
for the business paralysis the sug-
gestion that our business men use a
little common sense-just plain or
binary sound common sense. Good
advice: I wish business men every
where would take it.

Peru, 1nd.-Gabriel Godfrey. last

lost all his wealth, $4,000. through
politics. He'was urged by his friends
to run for road supervisor, and he
won the ONCE, though he afterward
declared that he did not want t. God.

pointed Of this later, for, when his
people exercised that function, they
were called upon to pay taxes, from
which they had been previously ,ex.

continued for years and wiped out
the holdings Of the chief. who was the
banker for his people.
Chief Godfrey, "the Last Of the
Miamis," he might be called, was sew
enty.six years old, and was born in
Blackford county, just adjoining the
county In which he lived all his life
and in which he died. His father
was Chief Francis Godfrey, of French
descent, who as a warrior was. next
to Little Turtle, the greatest chief Of
the Miamis. He ranked. close to Te-

WHOLE CASE REVIEWED
Twenty-Five Thousand Acres Wsrs In.
volvsd and the Transfer TO the 4
Farmers Was Made When
n Land Was Cheap.

Fargo-Judge G. 4. Amidon OF
the federal court decided against
Col Melvin Grigsby Of Sioux Falls.
s.. D.. in the civil land case
brought before him on Tuesday,
Involving the title Of several vast
tracts Of land in North Dakota
purchased by farmers Of this state
more than a decade ago. The court
established the title Of the purchasers
from the assignees to the land and
declared the claim Of Grigsby null and
void.
The case grew out Of the failure of
Frederick G. Day, once president Of the
defunct Bank Of Milwaukee in 1893,
when Day gave about $4,000 acres Of
land in Minnesota, North and South
Dakota as security to stockholders Of
the banking corporation. The titles
Of these lands were absolute in form
and intended as mortgages. In due
time Day and the bank failed and the
assignees in insolvency sold the lands
to farmers in the vicinity Of their To-
cation.
Under the law Of the supreme court
Of North Dakota deeds to assignees in
Wisconsin for lands in North Dakota
were void. The transfers were made
between 1893 and 1900 when the lands
were Of little value. They are now
very. valuable.
Gr1gsby obtained deeds from Day for
100 quarter sections. In the action
Just brought he sought to have the
deed from Day to the Plankinton
bank declared mortgage. which it
was in fact, and the assignee's deed
declared void. This, If upheld, depriv-
ed the farmers of their land after 1t
had become of great value and robbed
them Of their years of toll and de-
velopment.
While the assignees of the bank were
disposing of the lands, Day stood by
and made no claim and aided the as
signees in selling them, stating that he
stating that he had claim to them. The
court held that Day was now stopped,
by his conduct at that time, and that
the deed was mortgage, and that
Grigsby stood in no better position
than Day.
Judge Amidon directed decree to
be entered establishing the title OF the
purchasers from the assignees to the
land and declaring the claim of Grigs-

two quarter sections in North Dakota
covered by similar deeds and large
number of tracts in South Dakota and
Minnesota.
There have been a great many deeds
of litigation in the state courts eff
fecting property in which Grigsby has
been successful in the main because
the attorneys for the farmers relied
upon some technical points of law.
In the case before Judge AmidOn the
whole facts were gone into disclosing
the conduct Of Day at the time the
lands were being disposed Of between
1893 and 1900, when they were Of little
value, and the court held that Days
conduct was such as to defeat any
right on his part and those under
him from claiming any part Of the
land.

err have called special election to
vote on the proposed change but the
Rolla constituents have responded by
q remonstrance declaring fraud to ex-
list in the petitions which the. county
commissioners held were sufficient to
authorize them to call the election.

q. ]. Thompson ct al, Mr. Thompson
being chairman Of the board Of county
commissioners The plaintiff asks for
q writ Of certiorari and asserts that at
the time the petition was presented to
het county board he was prepared to
show that a large number Of the sign
ers were ready to withdraw and that
Withdrawals were presented; further,
that some seven Of the signers did not
exist in person; that number of 9TH
ers were not residents Of the county.
and that some were under age.
The total number Of signers was
1,105 and the petitioner says he was
readp to prove to the board that names
sufficient to reduce the number to 1882
were not legal signers. The total vote
at the previous election was 1919 and
the number 1882 would not give the
necessary two-thirds to authorize call
ing special election. The petitioner
says the board acted arbitrarily and
refused to investigate.
It is understood that the comims-
sioners will defend their action on the
ground that although Withdrawals
were presented, they were not enough
to effect the required number, and
that further additional signatures. more
than enough to Offset the Withdrawals
were also rejected.
Originally, the county seat was Dun
seth. Then came the first fight, when
st. ohns secured the plum. In 1890
Rolla went after the prize, and in an
election marked by bitterness, sue
ceeded in landing it. Rolette made its
first fight to get the county seat two
years ago. but was unsuccessful.

in the drawn battle of Mississinewa
against Colonel Campbell, the last
battle Of the Miamis.
At the treaty of st. Mary's, God
troy was granted six sections of land
on the north bank of the Wabash, EN-.
bracing nearly all the present site of
the city Of Peru. This ancestral es-
tate. It might be called, dwindled un.
til at the death Of the son: Gabriel,
only about forty acres of the original
tract remained, and this was in the
possession Of Gabriel's children. to
whom he had decided it a few years
ago.
When his father died, in a house
which is part Of the present home of
the Godfrey family, and was buried
Just across the road, Gabriel became
chief. He was married three times,
His first wife was granddaughter of
Frances Slocum. who was stolen by
the Indians when she vas six years
old.
Frances Slocum was stolen in 1776
from her home near Wilkesbarre. Pa.
by the Delaware Indians. She was
passed to the Miamis and became
known as the white Rose of the Mi
amis." Her brothers never gave up
the search for her. Finally, in 1887.
she was located in Miami county as a
member Of the Indian tribe, and her
brothers journeyed from Pennsylvania
to take her home. When the object
Of their visit was explained, she said
she had lived so long among the In.
dians, and they had treated her 40
well, that she would not desert them.
Her brothers went home broken
hearted. Godfroy's third wife is stil]

Twenty years ago Chief Godfrov
had fine farm of about a hundred
acres and was worth about $50. 600
He was called on scores of times 70
pay fines against Indians. For seven
years he paid the expense and stood
the worry Of a legal battle which tba
county commissioners brought ia com.

taxes on their lands. They Claimed
the lands to be exempt because q tina

his fortune had disappeared the ai,it
was compromised, and his people
should be exempt for ten years.
