Mason City, June 1s.-James c.
Berryhill, director OF the Iowa National
Bank Of Des Moines, made the pyro-
technic speech so far in the addresses
Of the State Bankers Association.
While Prof. ]. Lawrence Laughlin, of
the University Of Chicago, made the
thoughtful and scholarly address on
the Progress in Monetary and Bank
ing Legislature" Mr.. Berryhill caught
the meeting with bursts Of eloquence
that made every member take notice
that he really had a message. His
question was: Shall we acquiece to
the laws of the last general assembly,
And he answered the question himself
and it was an emphatic mo" wrapped
up in yards Of popular literature which
he welded to good advantage.
He said such legislation as was pass
ed by the recent legislature relating to
banks was socialistic in its tendencies
Bankers. as conservators OF the public
interests Of the communities, can not
afford to stand for anything Of the
kind. 1t was unfair legislation because

The land values of the different coun-
ties of the state and the different val-
uations were appalling. And then he
cited case after case of real estate
valuatio and everyone understood
him when he said that farm lands and
city property was never assessed for
more than so per cent of their valua-
ton and sometimes not to exceed 80
is per cent. TO assess bank stock
to its full amount Of the assets was
preposterous. 1t was discrimination OF
the worst kind and remedy should he
applied at once. Mr.. Berryhill said
that there were two ways to correct the
wrong. One was direct appeal to the
people. He believed in the people and
knew when there was a wrong sc
plainly visible that they could be de-
pended upon to correct II. He wanted
to educate the people on the real condi-
ton as it exists under the last legis-
alton and he knew the people would
come to their relief. Bankers. said the
speakers. were willing to pay their fail
share Of taxes. The other method he

Reed of the United States circuit court
at Fort Dodge in his latest effort to
gain freedom. John Fletcher. assist
ant attorney general, went to Fort
Dodge to resist the plea before the
federal court.
The claim of Biodgett is that he has
been twice placed in jeopardy. hence
his conviction was Illegal. The state
claims that whereas he was tried and
acquitted in Boone county for utter
ing a forged instrument" his convic-
ton in Polk county was for forgery.
The state courts all upheld this view.
Blodgett insists that inasmuch as it
was really the same forged paper that
was both forged and circulated there
was but one crime. He also makes the
point that this question should have
been submitted to jury.
Blodgett was an agent and a law
Yer. He got into trouble in Boone
county then came here, and started a
paper called The Secretary" in which
he attacked the courts and a great

encouraged by the fact that local daily

active interest in the affairs or tho
institution. He would have each class
follow the plan Of the classes OF Har-
ward, for instance, when on their
twenty fifth anniversary class raises
a fund to be used for some laudable
purpose about the university. 1.-THE
fact that the university Is owned by
the state and Is supported by the state
has operated to prevent that college
spirit which is so essential" he says
This ought not to be. There is no
reason why the alumni should not be
doing something to make the univer-
sity a great institution. There is need
Of something more than the bare es-
sentials-an art gallery, memorials and
things purely for pleasure"
The date for the encampment Of the
Fifty sixth regiment, I. N. G., has been
changed so that it will follow the state
rifle shoot at the range near Des
Moines. the shoot commencing July II
and the regimental encampment July
90. The others will follow in order I'M
til the LIST Of September There will
probably be no changes in company
locations in the guard during the sum-
mer The Knoxville vacancy Is yet
untitled and Knoxville is planning to
build an armory and get the company
back again. The Fifty-six regiment
band at Mason City is without armory
facilities but has not been mustered
out. There are now twenty-five ar
mories in use in the state that have
been built especially for companies
and seven or eight others that are
q
other halls. In this respect the guard
is much better than ever before.
The state of Iowa is paying 4 and )
cents per 100 pounds more for paper
this year than in the past two
years. Contracts have been closed the
past week for most of the paper and
supplies to be used in the biennial
period. The state executive council has
disposed Of the bids from time to time
and has made the purchases. Over
100000 is called for to fill the supply
room with the stock needed.

PAPPAs VERDICT OPEN
Coronsr's Jury Says Parties Unknown
Assassnated 0eosk Misrepresentation
ketss Still Being Sought.

Special to Times-Republican.
Mason City, June 16.-''We, the jury
find that Chris Pappas came to his death
from bullet wound, fired by some
party unknown" was the verdict OF
the coroner's jury empanelled to ex-
anime into the cause of the death OF
the Greek interpreter.
1t is the second sensational death
which has resulted from the Greek
trouble which has been on here for the
past year Recently Labor Commits
soner Van Duyn Of Des iMoines and
his assistant, Van Week of Waterloo
were in the city consulting with the
authorities. Peter Marousis, president
Of the Greek community Of Minneapo-
lis, was called down to assist In the
investigation. 1t IL said that bad
condition was found to exist here ir
the way of the interpreters mulcting
all laborers for whom they found en-
ployment This 10 possibly the founda-
ton Of all the trouble. 1t was while at
tending this meeting Of commissioners
that Marosis dropped dead while at
the consulting table.
The commission adjourned for q week
and later the investigation was taken
up. Nothing has been made public
Everyone knew that serious factiona1
trouble existed between the Greeks
Chris Pappas was at the head OF one
of the factions and George Chiahus the
other. The two interpreters were
cousins and while they headed factions
they were personally fast friends. Wed
nesday night at about 10 o'clock George
Kokotes and Chris 'Pappas were II
conference and they had some warm
words. It is stated that Pappas had q
claim for 800 against kokotes. II
Is also stated that a short time ago the
Lehigh cement plant, In whose employ
Pappas was, dismissed a number OF
their Greek help and hired other
Greeks. This caused additional trouble
And then the report is that kokotes
had to vacate the house he was in and
he blamed Pappas for this. Officers
are doing all in their power to f1nt
Kokotes, but so far they have not beer
able to do so.

Largest CONVENTION.
This Is the largest bankers conven-
tion that has ever been held in the
state, and every man, woman and child
are singing paens OF praise for the
genuine spirit Of welcome the city Is
extending it's guests. Nothing has been
too good. AS the bankers register they
are all furnished an enevolpe which
contains tickets which throw the city
and its amusements wide open to all.
No one Is excluded from the best the
city has. If It had better 1t would be
at the disposal of the bankers. This
afternoon 100 automobiles were at the
disposition of the visitors. and they
were shown over the city after the
business session was over. A thousand
people, including many bankers. wit
messed the initial game Of ball between
Mason City and the Minneapolis Key
stone aggregation. It was 4 snappy
game until the seventh inning was
reached when Mason City went up in
the air and the score at to conclusion
stood . to 2 in favor Of the visitors.
Cedar Rapids will be named as the
next meeting place Of the association.
Cedar Rapids Is good enough for me-
Is the badge that is pinned upon the
lapel Of four-fifths OF the visiting
bankers.
e. J. Curtin, Of Decorah, will be nom
mated today for the office OF president.
That seems to be sure thing and it is
quite likely that 1t will come to him by
reclamation. w. G. c. Ba9ley will be
elected treasurer.

Fall or Spring Flowing.

AS to whether or not fall or spring
breaking should be practiced. each far
mer must decide this for himself after
study of his own land. Level ground
or gently rolling farms may be ploWed
with good results in the fall. Such a
practice not only allows the winter to
act on the soil. but saves a great deal
OF time in the spring. However. lands
which are rolling to hilly should not be
fall piowed, because erosion takes
away a great deal of the fne dirt.
deep washes are cut, and the plant
food which is available in late fall and
early spring Is washed away. In either
case fairly deep blowing Is to be rec
commended. On the average six inches
is about right. This allows the ground
