DAYS TRIBUTE 10 . ROGER CASEMENT ‘Irishman and Home Ruler Is | Described by Neighbor Who Tells of Characteristics. - LOYAL AND A GENTLEMAN " (Correspondence of The Assoclated Press.) London, July 21.—The Roger Case- ment of other days is described by one who for some time was his neigh- ‘Bor in Africa. He writes: " _“At the time of the Boer war, Roger | Casement. was consul for southwest _Africa and had his headquarters at . uSan Paul de Loanda, the capital of # Portuguese Angola. Among the few 'Englishmen there he was an outstand- ~ [ing figure and was known all up and +down the coast. He was an ideal con- l. He had a strong and a charm- ing personality. = Tall, lithe, and up- . standing, with magnetic eyes and a . spointed beard, full of tireless energy and generous enthusiasm, he was one sof the Sir Richard Grenville type. Usually gentle and suave he was able of rage. He would boil with indignation at the wrongs of some poor servical whose tale of misery and “suffering under the cruel system of indentured labor came to his atten- tion. He fought for them and strove to relieve them whole-heartedly, All the world knows of his later work in sthe Belgian Congo and in Brazil. His early work in West Africa is less known, but it was equally great, per- .hf: greater, because it was done _ quietly and out of the limelight. It | - was true pioneer work. Public opin- | ion had not then roused, and the ex- «of this form of -fnvery was to 108t people unknown. “He had considerable c?:rience of ¢ west coast of Africa.

Gets §8,000 From Guaranty Fund and Turns Bank Over to New Hands. Arthur Mullen of Omaha, demo- cratic national committeeman and at- tornesy, exerted his occult powers on the State Banking board, comprising Governor Morehead, Attorney Gen- eral Willis E. Reed and State Auditor W. H. Smith, and pulled one over on that body yesterday. _He waved his wand and the board did things it had herctofore refused, failed and neglected to do, namely, al- low another bank to start in Omaha and to give back to the dead German- American State bank of Omaha $8,000 of its guaranty fund, taken from the grand total of the depositors’ guaran- ty fund. Yea, three things he made the board do, the third being to let u on its claim that it is trying to limit the number of banks in the state for the sake of protecting the depositors’ guaranty fund. $ Arthur had been hanging around the board for months trying to get it to give back to the German-American bank $8,000 of 'its guaranty fund which was on hand when the bank sold out one and a half years ago to the City National bank of Omaha, which bank later sold out to the State Bank of Omaha. “How can we give that back when the German-American State bank is|P dead and the law makes no provision for paying it back, but leaves the bank's share of the fund in the total depositors’ fund?” argued the board with Arthur, - \ Buried Alive,»Grave Opened. The bank being dead, having its debts and gone out of busine: Arthur could not get back the $8, he came before the board yes day and in effect said: “See. here, this German-American bank ain’t dead at all, Tf you said any last sad rites over its tomb one year and a half ago, you have com- itted a horrible mistake. That bank a8 been buried alive, I tell you, and you better get your spades mllht quick and help dig it out. That ban is not dead. It's just sleeping, and it's a mighty lucky thing for me you put a certified check in the grave in- stead of burying that $8, Here, man, grab a pick and get to work. Remember this bank's life is at stake, and there is $8,000 in it for somebody.” ¢ The resurrection then began,. The board got the body of the bank out of the tomb, = Attarney General Reed felt its pulse, consulted Benner's prophecies and several court reports. “This isn't grave robbing, is it?' asked one, " - > 4 “It seems to me I do feel a slight pulsation,” said: the attorne general as he touched the wrist of the corpse. “I find that a Minnesota court held that a bank can remain dead fourteen out | years-and yet come to life, and, on the er' hand, an Ohio court held that no bank can possibly remain buried that long-and be revived, Quick, give melt;le pulmotor; 1 think I saw its eyelids move." yWith the pulmotor in one hand and $8,000"in ithe other, the attorney e, ‘announced the attorney gen- eral, ; " 5o Mr. Mullen took the credit for the $8,000, ic%ad up the old faded charter which the State board granted to the bank several years ago and ‘went away. : “I just wonder now what Arthur is going to'do with that charter and $8 guaranty fund we :lve him, said a member of the board. Thus the state board pronounced the bank everlasting and undyma. Like the disciple of whom it was said, Wi I will that-he tarry @Il I come what is that to thee?” the state said, “1f we decide that this bank was not dead, what's it to you, anyhow?"

It came forth with amended articles of incorporation and a capital stock of $200,000 in the hands of M. S. Shafer, president; J. F. Hecox, vice president; L. M. Swindler, cashier. Mr. Mullen said it was its articles of incorporation that kept it alive, but these did not save its name or re- store it to former friends. These ar- ticles were approved by the state banking board when the German- American started in life, it was grant- ed a charter, the term for which the articles were filed has not expired and the charter had never been for- mally revoked or cancelled. The men who now hold the charter with the dehjphenatcd name some time stock throughout the state and were preparing to apply for a charter, In"the mearitime the Central State bank of Omaha applied for a charter, the state board refused to grant one, supposedly on the ground that there are now sufficient banking facilities in Omaha, The Central bank organization last week filed a suit in Lancaster county to compel the board to grant it a charter. The board was willing to be sued rather than give a charter to another bank in Omaha, until Arthur Mullen ap- eared before it. Then it admitted it could do nothing but grant his re- quest. Bankers contend that the action of the board is not legal, that the Ger- man-American bank had ceased to exist and that its method of revival depletes the depositors’ guaranty fund to the extent of $8,000 or at least per- mits the new bank to cac?e paying its proper share to the depositors’ ‘guaranty fund, and that the whole transaction will seta precedent for the barter and sale of state bank charters, —Lincoln State Journal, July 20.—Ad- vertisement.
