Mennonites to Migrate.

The Mennonites. whose colony in -Sa skatchewan lies south of the Canadian National Railway, have of fered to sell all their land to the Do- minion government for s55 an acre preparatory to a mass migration to the Argentine. South America. The colony's land is situated in one of the best farming sections of Saskatch- evan and is especially adapted to profitable mixed farming. The Men nonites have refused many offers to buy it, some as high as ss5 an acre.
 The Mennonites are Germans and German is the language of the text books used in their parochial schools. Since the passage of the law abolish ing foreign-1anguage schools the Men nonites have refused to send their children to the English public schools that were esta blished in their colonies. Their antagoAisnl to the new school law. their in~istence on bringing up their children in. a tradition alien to Canadian ideas and their religious principle, against military service and the duties of full citizenship have made them an unpopular element in Canada
 Premier Martin. minister of educa- tion, recently made visit of inspec- tion to the Mennonite community. He found the standard of education far below that Of the Canadian public schools and expressed to Bishop Wiebe head of the Old Colony Men nonite church the hope that he would use his influence to persuade his peo- pie to send their children to the public schools. Bishop Wiebe refused to do it and hatly sannounced his deterrnina- tion to fight such a programme.
 For five or six months the Menno- mites have had agents in South Amer ica looking for suitable location to which >to ss transfer the Canadian colonies of sthe. faith. This location has now been found it is understood. and it is expected that all the Memo
 mites in Canada will remove to the Argentine as soon as they can sell their lands and wind up their affairs.

Funeral Services Held
In Buffalo fore. F. Rand
Body of Banker, Killed in Plane
Crash in England, Brought
Home on Mauretania

The body of George F. Rand. for
merly president of the Marine Trust
Company Of Buffalo, killed on Decem-
Der IL while flying from Paris to Lon
don, arrived in New York on the
Mauretanla on Christmas morning.
Mr. kand's two brothers, James H.
Rand and Benjamin L. Rand, and his
only son, George F. Rand jr.. who
had come from Buffalo to meet the
boat, took charge of the body at the
dock. The funeral service and inter
ment took place in Buffalo Yesterday
afternoon from Mr. Rand's former
home.
Mr.: Rand, who was fifty-three years
old, began his career as clerk in a
bank IN North Tonawanda, N. Y, and
SO rapid was his rise that at the age
OF thlrty-three he became president OF
the Columbia Bank of Buffalo. In 1919.
datlon OF some six banking instltu-
tlons was brought about in that city,
under the head Of the Marine National
Bank. Of which he was made president.
he also was elected chairman Of the
board of directors, and in his official
capacity was widely known by tinan-
ciers both in America and abroad.
Mr. Rand left this country for Eng
land on November Is. and on Decem
per . f1ew from London to Paris. In
france, after making a tour of the
battlefelds, he called upon Premier
Clemenceau with American Ambassa

Mrs. Pratt Gibson
Sues Father for
Trust Accounting
Alleging W. E.. Benjamin
Evaded Process Servers 3
Weeks, Serves Papers on
Parent by Publication.

Another chapter was added yester-
day to the volume OF litigation pending
in the Supreme Court between William
+. benjamin and his daughter, Mrs.
Beatrice Pratt Gibson. which began
when the daughter married Preston
Gibson, the playwright and author,
without the approval of her parents.
In this latest action Mrs. Gibson de-
mands an accounting from Mr.. Ben
jamin Of certain funds she says he
held for her as fducary agent Mrs.
Gibson complains that two checks for
$21 1853 and $22, ,997 were withdrawn
from her account at the Plaza branch
of the Union Trust Company, but that
she has no recollection of withdrawing
these amounts.
Mr. Benjamin lives at East Eighty
seventh Street has Offices at $50 Madi-
son Avenue and is Il member of the
Union League Club. The first move in
Mrs. Gibson's present action was to
apply to Justice Grccnbaum in the Su-
preme Court for an order serving her
father by publication, which the court
granted. 1t was alleged that for three
weeks process servers had tried all of
the places mentioned to serve Mr.. Ben
jamin with the papers in the case but
that he has evadcd service.
Through her attorney, Elliot Norton,
Mrs Gibson said that A. II. Larkin
attorney for her father, had promised
to accept service for Mr.. Benjamin, but
later refused to do so. Mrs. Gibson
said she believed her father was usinr
an adjoining house on Fifth Avenue,
which he also owns, in coming from
and gong into his residence. No in
iormatlon of his whereabouts was OBJ
talnabIe from any of his office en-
plOyees, said Mrs. Gibson
Mrs. Gibson said she opened an ac-
count in the Plaza Branch of the Union
Trust Company in 1917. 1t amounted
TO $l30,529. Having ''impicit conf
dence' IN her father said Mrs. Gibson,
she gave HIM number Of blank checks
against this account bearing her sig
nature The statement of the trust
company, Mrs. Gibson says, shows the
withdrawal Of $2l,359 and S22,997, which
she does not rccollcct drawing. Size al
leges that her father also used his au-
thority to draw out S8,383 It is ALLEGED
by the daughter that she received no
satisfaction when she demanded an cx
planatlon regarding these sums of
money.
Mrs. Gibson added that in 1917 her
father, in making her income tax re-
turn, placed her net income at S67426
for the year and in the return for
1918 at SG7,7S8. Mr.. Benjamin, his
daughter alleges, has pcrsistcntly re-
fused to furnish her with any informa-
ton regarding the securities producing
this income. She also alleges that she
has been unable to check up her ac-
count in the Union Trust Company be-
cause her father has all her Cancelled
checks and refuses to turn them over
to her
1t is also alleged by the plaintiff
that her mother gave her $4,000 in
1917 which she turned over to her
father to be invested in Liberty bonds
Mrs Gibson complains that Mr.. Ben
lamln made no mention OF these bonds
in the income tax return and has re-
fused to account for or surrender the
bonds.
