CIRCUIT COURT I
HAS SUSTAINEDI
JUDGE BUNNELL i
i
The circuit court of appeals has dis- r
missed the action of the First Na- f
tional Bank of Fairbanks, Alaska, ]
against F. G. Noyes for the recovery t
of $51,467.00, on loans made by the j
bank directors to the above bank, af- t
firming the decision of the lower s
court. (
History of Case 1
The complaint of the First National i
bank was filed against Mr. Noyes in
the local district court July 6, 1914,
stating five separate cases of action 1
against ihe defendant who was at one
time a director in that institution. (
The amount with interest which the
bank sought' to recover would amount
at the present time to over $70,000,
in addition to the court costs. In ad
dition to Mr. Noyes, the principal ’
stockholders were Samuel Bonnifleld 1
and Frank G. Manley. Following the i
panic of 1907-1908, when banks were
on a “scrip” basis, in 1909 all the
stock was sold to E. T. Barnette and
W. H. Parsons, who in turn in 1910
sold to R. C. Wood and John L>. ,
McGinn. ,
xx* uic av/kiuu nnikii itao juok uccu I
dismissed, Mr. Noyes, as director was
charged with many violations of the .
national banking act. None of the <
other former stockholders were made
parties to the suit. The defendant
was represented by Fernand de Jour
nel; John McGinn, A. R. Heilig, and
the firm of McGowan and Clark rep
resented the plaintiff.
The case was opened in the district
court October 9, 1916, and continued
until October 28. During the trial
Judge Bunnell fined Mr. McGinn $100
for contempt of court. Lengthy briefs
were filed and the transcript of the
case covered about 1,100 pages. Judge
Bunnell took the case under advise
ment and rendered a lengthy opinion
which was filed in the early part of
April, 1917, in which the court found
that every action was entirely with
out cause and dismissed action.
The plaintiff promptly took appeal
to the circuit court of appeals which
now affirms the judgment of the lower
court. This case has nothing to do
with any of the cases growing out of
the Washington-Alaska bank litiga
tion, being prosecuted by Mr, f&OJjes
as received of the defunct institution.
When informed of the decision of
the circuit court of appeals R. C.
Wood, president of the First National
bank, at Fairbanks, in answer to a
question, stated that he could not say
definitely at this time whether or not
the case will be carried to the supreme
court.
SCHOOL LAWS AMENDED
FOR NEW DISTRICTS
Governor Riggs has notified the
clerks of the district courts that the
law regarding the establishment of
school districts has been amended to
such an extent that the requirements
formerly in vogue had been consider
ably changed.
Prior to the changing of the law
it was necessary to have the signed
petition of at least twelve white per
--—-— i
ona residing In the section request
ng the establishment of a school
lstrlct and not less than ten white
hildren were required to be within
he district applied for. Under the
ew amendment only eight signatures
re necessary and but ten children,
ither white or of mixed blood, are all
hat is required to have a school dls
rict established. The new law is
iow effective.
The operation of this law will per
ilt the establishment of many new
chool districts In the Interior, which
ilaces have hithertofore been denied
hat privilege on account of falling
ust a few names or a few children
hort of the laws’ requirements. The
ge limit of the children under the
ild law was placed at from six to
wenty; the new law calls for the
.ges to be from six to seventeen.
