OF one BANK n
Writ Issued by Judge Pugh
Forbids Action Before
Hearing on Thinner Bank
BIDS ARE RECEIVED
Guaranty Fund Commission
Opens Bids for Purchase of
Assets of Closed Bank

An alternative writ issued by Dis,
I trict Judge Pugh in Mandan held up
opening of bids by the Guaranty
Fund Commission for the purchase Of
the Nassets of the closed Thinner
State bank of Thinner, Morton coup-
Itv. The state board had advertised
it would receive bids for the pur-
chase of assets of 10 of the closed
h"nks Of the state Yesterday. Hear
ing on the writ will be held Nov
ID in Mandan. :.
The petition was presented to
Judge Pugh by Dominic Garhart, who
said he was stockholder in the
bank, and was directed against the
state banking board and C. R. Kel-
legg, district receiver. The petit
tion set out that the banks capital
stock was $4,000 when it closed
Feb. /, 1922. and that its assets ag-
cregated $106,434.1s.
The petition averred that if 2 sale
Of assets were made on bids the
amount realized would not be what
it should be, setting out that among
other assets the bank held some land
in that vicinity on which little could
be realized now. The petition fur
ther set out the belief that if the
-cceivership were continued for a
year of so the. full amount of the
liabilities could be realized upon.
The Guaranty Fund Commission
cn'pointive members opened the bids
submitted for the purpose of assets
Of closed banks this morning, but
as the members said the board mere
ly acted in an advisory capacity for
the state banking l.oard and alllmem-
bers of that board were nots in the
city, list Of the bids were not CIV
en- out. It was stated that bids were
not received on all Of the 10 banks
offered for sale but that more than
one bid was received on some Of
them.
Consideration of the bids was be.
cun by The commission, and it was

yet been agreed epon. 1t may be
two or three. days before considera-
ton of the bids has proceeded to
point where definite recommendations
on all of them will be made, it wa:
added.
A telegram was received from J. F.
r. O'Connor of Grand Forks and John
Valley, receiver for some OF the
banks in the Grand Forks district,
advising against sale Of the assets of
the Peoples State Bank Of Grand
Forks, on the ground that the sale
would occasion loss, and that within
. year or so the bank perhaps could
ray out. At least one bid was re-
ceived for the assets Of this bank.

PETITIONS FOR
CALLINGGRAND
JURY ARE CUT
Ask That Judge Coffey Order
One be Convened in Bur-
leigh County

Petitions for grand jury in
sBurleigh county probably will be
presented to District Judge J. A.
Coffey Of jamestown soon. Circuia-
ton Of the petitions began yester-
day, there being two lists, one Tor
female voters and one for male
voters. The form Of the petition
does not set out election matters as
the reason for calling the grand
Jury, the petitions stating that
there are matters az grave import
affecting the interests Of all law
abiding citizens in this county"
Grand juries are infrequent in
North Dakota, but may be called on
pitition of 10 percent Of the male
electors under the old law, which in
the case of Burleigh county would
be probably 250 to 900 persons.
Whether the fact that since the law
was enacted women have been given
the ballot would affect the call is
a matter of conjecture.
The petitions we're circulated by
]. P. Spies and others interested in
the Burleigh county election.
A grand jury, il called, must have
not less than 16 nor more than 20
members, and when it sits it is
supreme. 1t may bring charges
against whom it pleases for any Of
tense.
A grand jury was summoned in
Burleigh county several years ago,
when number Of citizens had been
arrested on liquor charges. The
law provides that when jury sits
all pending cases must 60 before it.,
and if it does not indict the charges
are dropped. The grand jury on
that occasion did not indict the per-
sons against whom charges were
pending.
Attorney-Generay Johnson and
States. Attorney McCurdy said they
had taken no action in the matter.
It was rumored in the city that the
the grand jury if called would be
asked to return indictments against
some former officials of the Bank
of North Dakota, on offenses for
which they could not be indicted
when the grand jury sat in Fargo
Investigating the scandinavian
American bank case. The 1ast time
the matter of a grand jury was up
in Burleigh county was "a few years
ago when, petitions were presented
asking for an investigation Of paw
ing matters in Bismarck, the call
being declined by Judge Nuessle.

n Peking, Nov. 16.-Measures for the
immediate release of the foreign mis-
|tsionaries kidnapped by Chinese ban.
Its we're demanded of the, ,Pekina
government today by the American
British, Italian, French and Swedish
ministers who acted under instruc.
tions of their governments.
The five ministers, presenting a
Joint note, called in person and in
formed executives of the Chinese
republic the powers would be com
PEELED to act drastically unless the
missionaries were released and guar
antees given for the future safety of
the hundreds Of other missionaries
in China. 4' ",-.,
"A The note was couched in vigorous
language. It declared that the mis-
sionaries we're carrying on their
work in the interior Of China under
treaties which had been violated by
the abductions. g..
It is understood that Washington
instructed Jacob. Gould Schurman,
the American minister, to impress
upon China the seriousness of the
bandits activities in detaining for
eigners for political motives. Dr..
Schurman protested only in behalf
Of the two America captves, but
Joined the other ministers in gen
eral complaint against interference
with the treaty rights Of mission
aries. ..y ."...u.
Besides the Americans, the captives
now include one Greek, one French
citizen, one British subject, one
Swedish and one Italian. The 1tal-
ian hostage was identified as Father
Grimbaldi, who was captured in Ami
wei province and taken into Honan
province, where about 10000 outlaws
have been holding q large area. The
others are all detained in Honan.
The bandits. have seized the various
nationals with view of forcing the
Peking government to incorporate
the bandits in the regular Chinese
army.
Peking probably will be forced to
accede to the bandits demands in
order to satisfy the powers.

WHO WILLRUN

Is ANSWERED
Third of Series of Five Ar
ticles on, Reorganization
Details the Plan
10 BE DEMOCRATIC
Plan Provides for Election in
Which Every Member
Shall Have Equal Voice
TO BE DEMOCRATIC

a large number of men and
women are interested in the Com
mercial club. Deep down in their
hearts they are glad it is being
reorganized along the most mod
ern lines. They are we'll disposed
towards the plan proposed by the
American City Bureau. They
want to hear more about it. They
are asking themselves:
"Why does Bismarck need
civic-commercial organization ?"
"What can modern CONNER
cial Club do for Bismarck ?"
"Who is going to run the Com
mercial Club?"
SLOW is the Commercial Club
going to be financed ?"
rs the Commercial Club going
to be permanent?"
Through the courtesy Of The
Tribune, these five questions will
be discussed, one each day, in
these columns.
Answering the third of the serie:
Of five questions most often asked
during Reorganization Campaign:
'Who is going to run the Bismarck
Commercial Club?'' First, last and
all the time, the members are going
to run it. In the modern civic com
organizations, which is what
Bismarck is going to have at the
end of the campaign, every member
IS on equal footing. Each pays the
same dues, each has one vote. only,
each has the right to nominate for
office, each has as loud voice as any
other in the making Of the program
# work, as explained yesterday and
zach will be called upon to exercise
Ill these rights.
sOnc Man Control Goes.
Under the old plan, nominations
we're made by committee, committees
we're nominated by the president,
,lone or in consultation with The Sec.
.etary and quite often the program
IF work, if there was one, was built
BY one or two individuals. Natural
!y this system lead to zone man. con-
.rol by small group. The member
who felt that he was one of the cob
scure majority" was too Indifferent
to come out Of. the background and
presently after joining the organiza-
ton, ,he substantially withdrew and
n year of two stopped paying dues:
4e was simply mot interested"
The Bismarck Commercial club will
be conducted along the new plan
.gain the boiled-dow results Of doz-
ans Of experiments-of insisting that
he members. all the members, shall
lay who will hold Office and be d.
rectors and what planks shall COM

work.
It is fundamental principle of the
reorganization and expansion cam

Santiago, Chile, Nov. 16.-Strong
earth shocks were felt at 1925
o'clock this morning. in the Copiapo
and LaSerena districts, where great
loss Of life was suffered in Satur-
days quake, according to National
Telegraph dispatches. II
The inhabitants OF Santiago were
much alarmed early this morning
when a slight earth shock was felt
here, the motion apparently belng
/ vertical. The tremor began at 1:42
o'clock.
The director of private meteor
logical institute had, forecast an
earth IN movement at 2 o'clock due to
the conjunction of the moon and
Saturn.
Sick in Fields
Dispatches from Copiapo report
the arrival there Of medical and re-
lief party, bringing lage stock Of
flood and medicines. The medical
officers Of the party found num-
Der of injured lying in the open air
in the vineyards, as the hospital,
which was built in 1848, had been
completely ruined. Other victims, to
the number Of fifty, mostly aged
persons were huddled in a motion
picture, lacking proper ventilating
facilities.
Many Bodies; in Ruins
These conditions are stated to be
surpassed by those in Vallenar,
where bodies still remain beneath
the ruins, their decomposition con-
stithting serious menace to the
public health. The inhabitants,
without food, are living in con-
tinual state of terror, sleeping on
the nearby hills. Breaking Of the
pipes has left the town without
water.
Sends Warships
The news that President Harding
is sending warships to Huasco with
supplies was received here with ex-
pressions Of gratitude on all sides.
( While doubtless the vessels cannot
arrive for another week, it is con-
sidered certain; judging from con-
tinued reports Of the searious con-
dition and appeals for relief from
the district, that. the aid will be
timely. Y,
s.t Relief Delayed
Despite the railroad connections
to the north, the quickest means Of
communications with the district,
even in normal times, is by ship
and it is believed some weeks will
elapse before it lis possible to de-,
liver all the supplies necessary to
allay distress
Much appreciation. was expressed
for the offer Of assistance from the
American Red Cross but So far as
