BANKS Of STATE
WELL INSURED
Report Shows That They Are
Carrying Much Protection
Against Burglaries

Fargo, " d. Sept l4.--The banks
OF North Dakota have not had a
burglary nor an attempted burglary
in the last year, according 10 the re-
port of the North Dakota Bankers as
socaton, which has JUS been issued.
This is not surprising fact when
one learns that the North Dakota
bankers carry almost a million dol
lars worth of burglary Insurance
$93s,500 to be exact.
The annual report Just issued is
full OF interes, 20 all bankers and men
interested in banking affairs. The
book contains everything there is TO
be known about the state association
of bankers and many side lights on
the financial system of the nickertail
state
There are now III banks in North
Dakota-l4S national, 566 state and
four trust companies. OF this num-
Der there are $40 banks which belong
to the state association classified in
membership as: One hundred and
thirty-seven national banks, 1879
state banks and three trust COM
panies.
The report gives one splendid
conception of the prosperity OF the
state as it shows that there was a
gain in the number Of banks in the
state by 1903, while the state associa-
ton of bankers grew stronger by l05
new members. All these banks are
seemingly in fiourishing condition
and none had any cause for COM
plant.
Attractive pictures of number of
the officers are distributed through
out the book, one OF them being of
W. C. Macfadden OF this city, who is
secretary of the association.
One of the most important and
most interesting things about the re-
port is list of forty-eight legal ques-
tons and opinions gwen on the same
by the associations attorney, Edward
Engerud. These points cover such
items as: Reduction of bank sur
plus, payment of notes, protesting of
checks, validity Of mortgages, value
of options, filing of liens, collection
Of draft with bill Of lading attached,
validity of contracts. collections and
many other points Of vital interest to
the bank and man of business affairs,
which bring out the fine and techni-
cal points of the law.

raised again between Che states oh Connecticut and Massachusetts is tho interpretation here in railroad circles of the findings today of the special legislative commission fin the latter state holding that the merger of tha New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad company with the Consolidat- ed Railway company WaH illegal, that large amounts of outstanding stocks and bonds are unauthorized, and that in the absence of the healing act im Massachusetts the New HaVen's char ter should be forfeited.
 The New Haven Company holds char ters both in Connecticut and Massa- chusetts. As regards Connecticut. the scope of the charter is settled by unanimous decision of the supreme court of the state last April. In that case friendly suit was brought to de- terTnine the legality of the New Ha- Yen's guarantee of stock of the New England Investment and Security com- pany whether such guarantee was val i'd in Massachusetts or not. The court held that corporation chartered by Connecticut and sued in that state aa a Connecticut corporation uDou an ob- ligation which it had lawfully insured and had promised to discharge in Con- necticpt cannot escape on the ground that it is also a corporation in MasaA- chusetts, under the laws of which no such liability could have been legally assumed The court held that tho New Haven company as created by the con- solidation of 1872 was a Connecticut corporation. subject to the laws of Con necticut with regard to liabilities in- curreed in the state. This, it was held, by the representatives of the New Ha-s ven company, at the time validated tho alleged Illegal acts of tho company. aG least as regards Connecticut.
 The highest officials Of the company have stated in the past that forfeiture of the charter in Massachusetts would be regarded favorably by the corpora ton, as 1t would effect practically only six miles of track between the Connac- ticut state line and Springfield, and do away with many of the issues raised by the Massachusetts charter.
 The legislative settlement, however, of the Boston and Maine merger con- troversy is regarded as a precedent that the old battle of the chartcrs'a will be settled without serious conten- ton.
