Sullivan,” Attorney. Says Voting Trust Agree ment was for Good of Bank EXPLAINS Disastrous Crop Conditions Alone Cause Williams Co. Bank to Fail, He Says The “voting trust” — agreement which was made when the Williams County State Bank of Williston was refinanced in December, 1920, and which was the basis. of attacks lead ing up to the filing of charges against four signatories by U. L. Burdick was,explained today by John F. Sul livan of Mandan, attorney for two of those named, defendants in the com- plaint instituted’ by Burdick. The charges against the four men int- volved—Geotge F, Bates of the Cit- izens Trust Company of Buffalo, N. Schulenberg, First National Bank, St. Paul; Erick Thorberg, First ational Bank, Minneapolis; and Gilbert Semingson, at present state bank examiner but who represented the Bank of North Dakota in the agreement—were dismissed in Willis- ton yesterday. “The actual facts in the matter show not only that there was nothing criminal in the voting trust agree- ment, but in truth and in fact the so-called trust gements from the standpoint of what appeared to be the conditions at that time was for the best interests of the bank and its depositors.” said Mr. Sulli- van. Outside banks refinanced the Wil- liams County Bank in 1920. They allowed credit of approximately a quarter of a million dollars and ad- vince $32,000 cash to take up bad r, according to Mr. Sullivan. Hi he outside banks who had done this desired to know that the bank would be under what they considered safe management. ‘The voting trust agree; ment was made under which their representatives could vote the stock and protect themselves. Advanced Credit “The result of the trust agreement was that Twin City banks advanced credit approximating a quarter of a million dollars,” said Mr. Sullivan. “If conditions in the Williston ter- ritory had subsequently been any- thing other than absolutely disas trous the Williston bank today would have been ony of the big banks of the state.” The voting trust agreement did not require that the outside bankers be permitted to run the bank, Mr. Sul- livan said, “but was simply for the purpose of assuring the banks who were advancing the money that the management of the bank would be in the hands of people capable of giving it expert attention,” No changes were forced in the bank personnel, it was pointed out. Reports show that up to the end of, this trust agreement, which termi- nated on January 11, 1923, many months before the bank closed, tit the bank was in excellent conditi insofar as bad paper was concerned, Mr, Sullivan continued. “As ‘a mat- ter of fact when the trust arrange- ment entered into, it permitted the taking out of all paper known to be bad at the time, which amount- ed in the neighborhood of $32,000." When it was necessary to refi- nance the Williston bank, it is point- ed out here at the banking depart- ment, not only the bank directors but citizens of Williston were called in to ‘pass on the security in the banks hands, since these local people knew the value of the security better than outsiders. The paper they de- cided was “bad paper” was ord out of the bank. Crops Failed Several banking department offi- cials assert that if the Williston dis- trict had had a crop in 1923 like the district enjoyed in 1922 the bank ne ver would have closed. The Will ton area, they say, was one of the hardest hit in the state, and there was more emigration from that dis- trict than in most others. It v pointed out that lands in the Willis- ton district sank in value so that their selling value lacked $4 to $§ un acre of equalling the amount of mortgages, and since first mortgages usually made on a 40 to 50 percent valuation, the shrinkage in land values, for banking purposes, was mére than half. As an example, one official pointed out that $2,000 loan might have been made on a farm considered worth $4,000. The farm later would sell for not more than $1,500. or less than the mortgage. The same was true of cattle, there being much cattle in that territory, after he slump of 1920, Most of this slump in values took place after the voting trust agreement was made and the-bank refinanced. The Twin City banks and others expected con- ditions to right themselves, but they got’ worse instead of better, it is pointed out, The Williston bank was finally forced to close June 12, 1923, Gilbert Semingson, who figured in the voting trust agreement, was dep- uty state cxaminer-in December, 1920, and he represented the Bank of North Dakota, which was heavily involved with the Williston! bank. F. W. Cathro was director-general of the Bank of North Dakota at the time.

Thirty-five the dollars in currency was include sand in the loot obtained by three bandit+ s ip . Paul today, escaping with who held up two postal employ: South five pouches containing a large quan- tity of registered mail. The robbery took place at the Chi- cago, Great Western Station, just after a south bound train had un- loaded the five mail pouches, one of which contained the $35,000 pay-roll for Armour and Company's South St. Paul plant. Just as the mmil pouches were be- ing loaded onto a postoffice truck the bandits drew up in a large auto- mobile. Two sprang to the } with drawn revolvers, fo bert Manthey and Walter postal empl 3, to surrender the mail bags. Keeps Employes Covered While one of the bandits kept the two postal employes covered — the other threw the pouches into the au- tomobile. Then both jumped into the, machine, still training revolvers on Manthey and Van Hale as they sped away, heading toward St. Paul. Gun squads, motorcycle patrolmen and detectives from both Minneapolis and St. Paul were sent out within 15 minutes after the robbery, cover- ing every road from the south lead- ing into the two cities. In addition to the pay-roll the pouches contained tered mail of an undetermined jue but police authorities expressed belief that the pay-roll was the only thing the ban- dits were after and probably would discard the other pouches. Find Car Abandoned Two hours after the robbery gun squads found the bandit car 15 miles from the scene of the crime, near the Cedar Avenue bridge in Minne- apolis, Apparently the bandits had continued their flight in another machine. Four of the mail pouches and a number of money bags, split open and emptied, found in the abandoned car which was stolen last Tuesday from ia private garage in Minneapolis. we HARRINGTON T0 BE CANDIDATE veks Senatorial Indorsement From Convention Here’ on Saturday P.
