IRISH-AMERICAN BANK CREDITORS HAVE A LIVELY MEETING. OBJECT TO THE ASSIGNEE, AND WILL ASK THE COURT TO NAME A RECEIVER TO WIND UP AFFAIRS, GUARANTY LOAN LAW LIBRARY. A Move to Secure It for the CountyGeneral News of Minneapolis. It was an angry crowd of men and women that met in Room 512 of hte Bank of Commerce yesterday afternoon. They were the creditors and depositors of the suspended Irish-American bank, and they had assembled to talk over their unhappy condition. John Glennon presided, and J. W. Fitzgerald acted as secretary. Mr. Glennon briefly stated the object of the meeting, which was to secure the appointment of a receiver for the Insolvent bank in place of Assignee Frank R. Hubachek. The following statement of the wishes of the depositors was read and adopted with genuine Celtic warmth: "Reasons why a receiver should be applied for for the Irish-American Bank: "1. Mr. Hubachek, the present assignee, has been the attorney for the bank for the last three or four years. He is also a member of the firm of Rea, Hubachek & Healy. Judge Rea is a stockholder in the IrishAmericean bank, and has been connected with Blethen. the Bank of New England, with "2. That the Irish-American bank has loaned Blethen $17,000, which loan must have been advised by their attorneys, Rea, Hubachek & Healy. "Gould, the vice president of the IrishAmerican bank, resigned a short time before the bank failed, and connected himself with the firm of Rea, Hubachek & Healy, and is now taking an active part in settling up the affairs of said bank. "3. Hubachek will evidently do all in his power to cover up anything that would damage the stockholders or officers of the bank, and has no interest whatever in the depositors; that if a fair and impartial man could be appointed receiver the stockholders would get the accounts settled up sooner and more satisfactorily. "The only difference between a receiver and an assignee is that one is appointed by the court, and the other is appointed by the party making the assignment, and whenever an assignment is crooked or anything has been done to cheat or deceive the public, 1t 18 in the interest of the party making the assignment to put in some one who is his friend and who he has confidence in, and that party is in duty bound to protect the man who places him in the position. "We do not say but what Mr. Hubachek is a fair man, but he is in duty bound to protect the stockholders and officers of the bank who have placed him in the position, and who have employed him for the last three or four years. It is no more than justice that we should have a man to wind up the affairs of the bank who has no interest to protect for any one. but is competent to wind up the affairs of the bank honestly and impartially. without showing favor to any one, and if there is anything crooked or dishonest in the management of the bank we want a man at the head of the bank to show up any crookedness which may have been connected with the bank."

Attorney General Childs decided not to intervene in the suit brought by the depositors to have Frank Hubachek removed as assignee of the Irish-American bank, of Minneapolis, and receiver substituted.

# HUBACHEK GOES OUT SIX JUDGES DECIDE AS A UNIT IN THE IRISH-AMERICAN CASE. # JUDGE MAHONEY AS RECEIVER. DECISION AN IMPORTANT ONE AND ONE WHICH ESTABLISHES A PRECEDENT. # THE GRAND JURY GRIND ENDED. Final Report Will Be Made Today- General News of the Mill City. The depositors have prevailed, and Frank R. Hubackek is removed as as- signee of the Irish-American bank, and Judge Stephen Mahoney appointed in his stead, under bonds of $600,000. The six judges came together as a unit in the findings and the memor- andum, but there was considerable dis- cussion as to the proper man to act as receiver in his stead. The decision is intended to establish a precedent, and for that reason care was taken in drawing it up, and it voices the best judgment of one of the most thoughtful judges at the bar. The justice of the appeal of the depositors is all the more apparent when it is considered that Judge Belden has favored Mr. Hub- achek personally from his good work in the past, but felt that the law in the case must be enforced to the letter. The decision was filed late last night, The defense will take an appeal to the supreme court. The decision recites the facts in the case and makes the order as above. The main points in the memorandum were as follows: Although the evidence in this proceeding was not as full and complete as might have been desired, yet we think it shows reason- able grounds for presuming liability of the present board of directors for losses suffered by the bank. We do not purpose, nor is it necessary, to enter into a detailed discussion of this question. The evidence conclusively establishes certain facts, which, unexplained, very plainly indicate culpable fault in the management of this bank. The disposition of trustees of monied corporations to extend mutual accommodations to each other, at the expense of the owners and creditors of such corporations, seems to have been present in the management of this bank. It is a practice entirely too prevalent, and as pernicious as it is prevalent. From what is made entirely clear by this evidence, we have no doubt but that the conduct of the affairs of the bank by the directors should be carefully looked into, for the purpose of determining their liability for unfaithfulness to their trust, and, if we are correct in our understanding of the law, the duty of making this scrutiny rests upon the assignee. It is contended by counsel for the assignee that such duty does not devolve upon him. That the right to recover damages for loss resulting from negligence or fraud is not assignable. But the right to recover for dam- age to property, whether such damage results from wrongful taking and conversion, or from fraud and negligence, is assignable. In any event, we believe that the doctrine is well established that a receiver or assignee of an insolvent corporation may maintain such an action. Thompson's Commentaries on the Law of Corporations, section 4,121, 4,122, 4,126 and cases cited. Assuming the liability of the directors, or reasonable probability that such liability could be made out, and that the right to enforce the same passes to the assignee, is the rela- tion of the assignee to all or any of the direc- tors such as to legally disqualify him from fairly representing the creditors? Such a lia- bility is an asset, and may be a very valuable one to the creditors. The relation of the as- signee to the creditors is that of a trustee to his cestui que trust, and such relation re- quires the observance of the most scrupulous fidelity in all things pertaining to the execu- tion of the trust. Any personal interest in the subject matter of the trust adverse to that of the cestui que trust is deemed a dis- qualification. Any relation so close to a per- son whose interests are averse to those of the beneficiaries of the trust as would, or might tempt the trustee to depart from the strictest observance of his duties, is deemed a dis- qualification. This rule does not bend to any personal considerations.

# HUBACHEK REMOVED Jndge Mohoney Now Assignee Of the Irish-American Bank. The depositors have prevailed, and Frank R. Hubachek is removed as assignee of the Irish American bank and Judge Stephen Mahoney appointed in his stead, under bonds of $600,000. The six judges of the district court came together as a unit in the finding and the memorandum, but there was considerable discussion as to the proper man to act as receiver in his stead. There has been no less than 50 names proposed but after all was said, it was decided upon the suggestion of Judge Mahoney's name, that he was the man for the position. He had not been pushed for the place, and it was learned from an authoritative source in the afternoon that there was no antipathy to his appointment, even among a small faction of the creidtors. The decision is intended to establish a precedent, and for that reason care was taken in drawing it up, and it voices the best judgment of one of the most thoughtful judges at the bar. The justice of the apepal of the depositors is all the more apparent when it is considered that Judge Belden has favored Mr. Hubachek personally from his good work in the past, but felt that the law in the case must be enforced to the letter.

P., preached an eloquent and impressive sermon at Holy Rosary church last Sunday morning on the forgiveness of injuries inflicted by our enemies. "Unless you forgive those who injure you," said Fr.

Scallen has been appointed by Mayor Gray as inspector of pawnshops. The case of Wm. H.

Brown, a young man employed at the Pillsbury milling company's warehouse, Seventeenth avenue and Seventh street southeast, had an almost miraculous escape from death last Tuesday. Brown was working on an upper floor of the warehouse when he stepped into a hole and fell 30 feet to the floor below. His fellow workmen saw him fall and rushed down to where he lay expecting to find him dead, but the young man sat up, and an examination showed that he was suffering from nothing more serious than a badly bruised leg and a strained back. He was removed to his home, 1712 Linden avenue north, and is recovering rapidly. Thomas West, an ex-policeman, has been appointed jailor at the Fifth precinct station by Mayor Gray; and Officer Bean, who has been acting as jailor at that station, has been ordered back to his beat.

The injury was dressed at the City hospital, after which the injured man went to his home, 876 Bedford street southeast. William Mackey, who was arrested by Inspectors Morrissey and Stavlo on a charge of vagrancy, was tried before Judge Kerr Tuesday morning. He proved to the satisfaction of the court that he was about to obtain employment, so the case was continued for one month, at the expiration of which he is to report what success he has met.

She had not been seen during the day by neighbors and they asked the police to investigate. The room was broken into and the body was found near the bed, watched by a pet dog. Coroner Nelson decided that death had been due to a bursted blood vessel. Mrs. Stenstrom's husband died about two years ago. A small amount of money was found in the room and several certificates of deposits in banks. The young ladies of Fr. Cleary's church gave a card social and served lunch Wednesday evening in the church parlors, Fourth street and Thirteenth avenue south. It was largely attended. J. S.

Nally, assistant general superintendent of the Postal Telegraph Cable Company. The remains were brought here Monday morning and funeral services were held at St. Stephen's church in the afternoon. The deceased was eighty-three years old and was born in Ireland. The A. O. H.

The matter will be heard today. Kennet C. Beaton, a former member of the Tribune staff, and war correspondent during the Pillager troubles, has returned from Nelson, B. C., where he edited a paper, and is again connected with the Tribune in his former capacity. Col. John T. West, proprietor of the hotel bearing his name, dropped dead behind his desk on Monday night after replying to a question from a reporter.

Demens, of Los Angeles, Cal., owner of the Brunswick hotel property, was in the city during the week. Speaking of expansion he said, as a Republican: If a vote should be taken today on the question in the commonwealths bordering the Pacific, the anti-expansionists would win by a large majority. He believes that, as the course of events are now showing, it will be found an impossiblity to Americanize the Filipinos. He is convinced that if the Philippines are annexed they will forever prove "a thorn in the national body," and that a decided impetus will be given to the present corruption in American politics.

The Grand Army and Zion commandery were well represented. Rev. Marion D. Shutter, of the Church of the Redeemer, of which Capt. Babb was one of the oldest members, officiated.

The program was a lengthy one and admirably rendered in classical style. The great singer was accompanied by Melville Ellis, who gave three piano solos. C. A. Pillsbury, in a letter dated Milan, March 2, and received by James Everington, says that he believes that unless wheat prices advance 10 or 15 cents the farmers will hold back their wheat for a rise.
