Claims That He was Put Be-

to Force Story from Hin,

San Francisco, July 3-Torture,
eliminating in taking him before a
firing squad, was applied to him by
Japanese in Shanhaig in an effort to
force him to dvulge information
he possessed concerning the United
States Navy, according to a story re-
lated to the naval authorities here
by Lawrence Gallagher, lieutenant in
THE United States Naval Reserve
and second mate in the Standard Oil
tanker Algoquin.
Gallagher said he entered cab
driven by Japanese and asked to
be taken to certain hotel, but the
driver took him to what appeared to
be a japanese police station in the
Japanese concession. There, he said
his naval credentials and other
papers were taken from him after
which he was questioned. He declar-
ed he had no information of value to
his questioners he said but they re-
fused to believe him. He asserted
that they bound his WRISTS with
leather thongs and twisted them un-
til the pain was intense.
Then, he said, he was taken before
a firing squad where the only thing
lacking in realism was real bullets
The squad used blank cartridges
Finally he was released barely in
time to board his ship before she
sailed. he said.
1t was said that Gallagher's re-
port would be forwarded to Washing

ably would result.

ASKS SUPREME
COURT ACTION
IN BANK CASES
Attorney General Moves
Promptly to Put Liquidation
in High Courts Hands
REPLACE RECEIVERS
Present Method of Handling
Closed Banks Superseded
Under New Law

Immediate steps will be taken by
Attorney General George F.. Shafer
to bring the affairs of all closed
banks in North Dakota before the
state supreme court, under direc-
tion and authority of an act of the
1923 legislature.
Mr.. Shafer said today that within
the next day of two petitions will
be filled with the supreme court
setting out the fact that the banks
ar closed and asking the court,
under the new law, to take charge
of the affairs of the banks, declar-
ing them insOlvent and liquidating
them.
Under the new law on July the
supreme court was empowered and
asked to exercise original jurisdic-
tion in the matter of insolvent
banks. The Attorney General was
directed as soon as possible after
July / to bring the matter before
the supreme court.
Petitions against 60 banks will be
ISSUED by the Attorney General,
some of which do not now have
receivers. The petitions will allege
the banks are insolvent. Under the
law the banks have Is days after the
serving Of the summons to answer,
but may answer only on the question
of the solvency of the banks.
If the court takes jurisdiction and
adjudges the banks insolvent, the
court may appoint one or more state
wide receivers to administer the
affairs OF the banks, Mr.. Shafer
said. The court also will appoint
a commissioner who may hear evil
dence and report finding of facts
to the court. The central receiver
ships will be guided and controlled
by the court through the. commits

Get Deposits in Bank Now
Closed, Is Charge
BOND SUITS BEGU N

The State Bonding Fund is made
defendant in suit launched by the
board of county commissioners of
Burke county for $4,000 each on the
bonds Of j. f. Marx and Jacob Dew
ing, as county commissioners, be-
cause of deposits lost in closed
bank. The suits are companions to
suit for $4,000 launched by the
county against j. r. Jenson, former
county treasurer, the county claim
ing the full amount of his bond. or
$4,000, from the state fund.
1t is charged, according to Will
liam LANCER of this city who, with
H. A. Hanson, states attorney, is in
charge of the case, that the removal
proceedings against former county
commissioners H. E. Kirkelie and
J. o. Grubb, instituted before Lynn
j Frazier while Governor, were part
of a scheme to put the board in con-
troll of Nonpartisans so that the
Nonpartisan-controlled First State
Bank of Bowbells, now closed, could
get county deposits.
Mr.. Frazier as Governor removed
them on August 13, 1921, he said
The board of county commissioners
controlled by Independents, haG
previously refused to o. X. the
bond of. the First State Bank OF
Bowbells for deposits. A few days
after Dewing and Marx we're made
commissioners, he alleges, the bono
was approved. Marx signed the bono
as chairman of the board of county
commissioners and was at the same
time an officer of the bank, h.
further alleges. The supreme cour
on June 8, 1922, reinstated Grubl
and Kirkelie. They demanded addi
tional bonds, but the bank closed il
December, 1922.
At the time the bank closed Burke
county had in the bank about ST,
600. Forty-one thousand dollars O.
this, it is alleged, was deposited
during the. period Nonpartisan com
missioners served after the Inde
pendents were removed, the remain
der being in the bank at the tim'
they took office.
