INSNU ~ r NIONSI dIlQ d DuIlCn OF
typical cow punchers at De Beque,
Col.
BY w. H. Album.
De Beque, COL, Aug. "A preach
er in the cattle country isn't waited
to the skies on flowery beds of ease.
Nevertheless, Rev. A. F. Glover, the
sky pilot of De Beque and it's rugged
vicinity, manages to worry along.
He hasn't much use for beds of
ease, anyhow. He prefers a blanket
on the ground or a saddled broncho.
And when it comes to dealing with
the sinners of the cattle range
well!
Not long ago a bunch of COW
punchers from the NUckles outfit
surged into this metropolis (pop. 2O0)
from the Rhone canyon and began
acting up. The town, like the range,
is dry" but they'd connected with a
lot of bad whisky. So it seemed ap-
propriate to ride up and down the
main street yelling and shooting.
Mayor Walker and the town mar
shaI were annoyed, but the marshal
didn't feel equal to the job of round
ing up the bunch,

G0WDRAY RESENTS
CHARGES MADE
AGAINST HIM
Declares He Has Never Been a
''ConCeSSion Monger" and
Says He Has Been Pursued
by WaterS-PierC Company

London. Nov. 21.-Lord CowdraY
who has large oil, railway and other
concessions In Mexico, in an interview
today, said he had learned with great
interest that a British warship had
been dispatched to the Puerto Mexico
terminus of the Tehuantepec railway
Of which he is the principal owner
Lord Cowdray expressed the opin-
ion that he had made a great mistake
in keeping silent so long, unGer the
charge that he was "a concession
monger" He said the last oil conces-
sion he had obtained from the Mexi-
can government was granted slightly
under eight years ago. His company
had been given the right to bore on
any government land, a right which,
he added, had not been exercised to
the limit Any request he had made
to the Mexican government since the
granting Of the last concession, LORD
Cowdray said, has been for facilities
to carry on his oil business. such as
the building of railways and pipe and
telegraph lines, and for certain Gus
toms exemptions,
The real offerse he had committed
in Mexico, Lord Cowdray continued
was in uafing to invade the territory
of the Waters Pierce oil company.
Because of that fact he said he had
been bitterly pursued and had peen
a victim of a press bureau engaged
to misinterpret his operations,
Certain portions of the American
press, Lord Cowdray added, have
accused me of being a concession
monger. President Wilson apparent
ly does not remember that the Ameri-
can government assisted in the build
ing Of the trans-continental railways
in exactly the same manner that the
Mexican government has assisted my
operations in Mexico which are in a
state that still neeessitates govern
mental assistance for her develop
ment.
Il went in as a pioneer and haC to
have some guarantee back Of the
enormous sums I was spending TO de-
velop my oil properties. / might say
at the same time that ! am not seek-
ing and never have had an oil monop-
oily, either in Mexico or Colombia

to the removal of the refugees aboard

that a sense of relief was experienced
when it was learned that it had not
been necessary to employ force
Late in the day the department re-

It was said at the navy department
that no special instructions had been

COUNTY DENTISTS.
Elect Dr. ]. M. Shay President-Vote $25 Contribution to Benefit Fund.

Dr. J. NJ. Shay of New London was elected president of the New London County Dental association at it's an nual meeting held at-the Mohican ho- tel there Tuesday evening.
 The business meeting was preceded by the annual supper, which was served at 6.30 in a private dining room. Covers were laid for ten and full justice was done to one of Land lord Walkers most appetizing menus. At the business meeting the following officers were chosen for the ensuing year
 President-Dr. J. M. Shay of New London; vice president, o. J. Dennehey of Stonington; secretary and treas urer F. W. Holmes of Norwich; ex- ecutive committee, J. A. Crowley of Norwich. w. s. Smith of Mystic and J. Otis Miner of New London.
 The dentists voted to contribute S25 to the fund of the national association maintained for the benefit of aged and infirm dentists who are unable to earn their living. Ways and means for making the monthly meetings of the association more attractive were dis cussed. A paper prepared by mem bers, the subject of which is assigned in advance, is read at each meeting and is followed by a discussion which is interesting, entertaining and bene- f1cial.
Norwich bulletin., 1913-11-06

The selectment are to decide today what to do about the appointment of special patrolmen which. they were au- thor1zed to do by vote in the special town meeting. By law they were com pelled to wait thirty days for all the elected oonstables to qualify and that time expired on Wednesday. All six Of the duly elected constableS have now qualified
 The selectmen will also take action on a petition with ST signers, most of them residents of Norwich Town, ask ing for a special town meeting to fill the one vacancy In the list of con- stables which was caused by the tie in the vote between David R. Kinney and Myer Blumenthal
 The petition Is as follows:
 Application is hereby made to you as selectmen of said Town of Norwich by the. undersigned inhabitants of said Norwich qualified to vote in town meeting of the legal voters in town in said town for the purpose of elect1ng 8 constable of said town to fill the vacancy because of the failure to elect at the last annual town meting the number to which said town is entitled.
 The claim is made that the petition is irregularly drawn because officials cannot be elected in town meett If a special election were to be held, the selectmen say that it would cost the town from $2,00O to $3.000 and as there is not sufficient money in the treasury for that purpose there would also have to be a special meeting to appropriate money and the extra appropriation would mean the laying of an additional tax.

BANKS WOULD REoRGANIZE
 UNDER STATE LAW.
National Banks Making Application to
 State Bank Commissioners.

The bank commissioners have re- cctVed written and oral communica- tions from 8 number of national bank o1f1c als throughout the state, asking them for blank forms to be used in making application for a permit to organize under the laws of the state The commissioners are preparing forms to be used and will furnish them just as soon as they are printed
 The bank commissioners MT. LAppitt and MT Holt, are of the opinion that within a short time about 25 per cent of the national banks of the state will have made application to them for per mits to organize under the laws of Connecticut This action is being taken in consequence of the currency bill before congress.
 The claim is made that under the laws of the state the commercial and mercantile banks can operate to greater advantage when their au- thorfty to do business is based on an act of the general assembly. The banks will escape the application of the double liability clause of the federal law governing national banks. This liability has the effect of com polling stockholders to make good the impairment of the capital stock of ed out entirely to subscribe enough to restore it to the original amount When the bank is under the laws of the state it has not this liability.
 There were recent instances of the operation of this liability clause in the federal law in Rhode Island and Massachusetts. It is contended that the advantage which accrues to the national banks from the privilege of issuing bank notes is not sufficient to offset the disadvantages of continuing as national banks If the currency olll before congress becomes law.
 The change in the character of the banks from national to state would mean a substantial addition to the revenue of the state. The national banks pay no state taxes. If they were operated under authority de- rived from the state they would pay taxes.
 The legal process by which na- tional bank becomes a state bank is the same as that by which a state bank is allowed to begin business There is no difference in the steps to be taken. It is necessary to give 60 days notice to the bank commissioners and to leave a notice in the office of the town clerk
