LOYAL AND A GENTLEMAN
(Correepondeaea of The Aoioclatel Freee.)
London, July 21. The Roger Case
ment of other day! i described by
one who for lome time was hia neigh
bor m Africa. He writes:
"At the time of the Boer war, Roger
, Casement was consul for southwest
.Africa and had his headquarters at
San Paul de Loanda, the capital of
i Portuguese Angola. Among the few
Englishmen there he was an outstand
ing figure and was known atl up and
down the coast He was an ideal con
f suL He had a strong and a charm
Jing peraonality. . Tall,, lithe, and up
standing, with magnetic eyes and a
(.pointed beard, full of tireless energy
jand generous enthusiasm, he was one
.-of the Sir Richard Grenville type.
' Usually gentle and suave he was
t capable 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
, the Belgian Congo and in Brazil. His
"early work in West Africa is less
'known, but it waa equally great, tier-
haps greater,: because it was - done
quietly and out of the limelight. It
waa .true pioneer work. Public opin
ion had not then roused, and the ex
istence of this form of slavery waa to
most people unknown. .
"He had considerable experience of
tht west coast of Africa. Before join
ing the colonial service he was for
some time ourser on the Elder Demp-
fster steamers. It was while employed
by tht Niger coast rrotectorate tnat
he climbed the Cameroon! mountains
a feat which he celebrated in an ex
cellent sonnet written at the summit.
It aeoeared in the "Soectator." It is
) typical of the man that he chose this
; method of expression. A sordid soul
1 would have described tile adventure
fin proae and have made money.

ihe put to very good use in hia con
sular work afterwards. .. .
s "Casement lived at Loanda In a
3 small bungalow, hii sole companion a
i large Irish sheepdog called Rags, and
they were inseparable. The consul
was quite unconventional X He would
i frequently go out for a stroll at sun
i rise with an old shooting jacket over
his pajamas and Rags lurching at his
heels, and return at sunset, tired out
' and happy, having fared through the
day upon a few banana's. jHe was
i much addicted to theseoneiy wander
ings and was known to all the country
round; The native children especially
were attracted to him, ure that in his
capacious pocket. lurked biscuits and
small copper coins which" were1 theirs
'for a grin. A.f
Full of Joy. of m: J 2:
An excellent i companion, j witty,
good humored, and viriUv. .Casement
was full of the joy of life. He had
many eccentricities, but they werei all
harmless and .many of them lovable.
'He had many pensioners. No beggar
appealed to him in vain. His influence
was always lor good.-: He was a keen
athlete, a strong swimmer, and a good
, cricketer . H -wat widely and well
read, an artist and a poet of no mean
order.) At. that time much of i his
leisure was devoted to corapiliiig a
book of simple rhymer and delightful
sketches or some children in Ire
land and it was a Tare privilege to
watchj this.rois, .under; his hand. ;.
r "Casement was a home ruler be
; cause he was an Irishman, and upon
this subject he was fiercely eloquent.
,His usually toft voice Would grow
strong and deep and his eyes would
..flash on tht rare occasions when he
fallowed himself to be drawn into a
discussion upon the subject of his be

-Arthur Mullen of Omaha, demo
cratic national committeeman and at
torney, 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 heretofore refused,
failed and negtected 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. Vea, three things he made
the board do, the third being to let up
on its claim that it is trying to limit
the number of banka 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 ,UW ot its guaranty tuna
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 ia
dead and the law makes no provision
for paying it back, but leave! the
bank's share of the fund in the total
depositors' fund?", argued the board
with Arthur. '- , "

Remember this bank's life it at

somebody." . '
The resurrection- then began. The
board got the body of the bank out
of the tomb. Attorney General Reed
felt its pulse, Consulted Bennert
prophecies and teveral court reports.

Resurrection and Transformation.
r o..t .v. nfnian. American State
bank of Omaha will not, roam the
earth in its old form. Mr. Mullen
went into the next room, dehorned it
of its hyphen, turned to the organiiera
of another new bank, the Commercial
State bank of Omaha, which had not
yet applied to the hoard for a char
ter, gave it into the hands of men who
never had any connection with the
old defunct German-American bank
and it came forth under a new name,
the American State bank of Omaha,
with the $8,000 guaranty fund in its
possession and will soon start in busi
ness. It came forth with amended
articles of incorporation and a capital
stock ot fuu.uuu in the hands ot M.
S. Shafer. president: J. F. Hecox. vice
president; L. M. Swindler, cashier.
Mr. Mullen said it was ita articles
of incorporation thst 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 dehyphenated name some time
ago sold stock throughout the state
and were preparing to- apply for a
charter. Irr the meantime 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
peared before it. Then it admitted
it could do nothing but grant his re
quest. ' r
Bankers contend that the action. of
the board ia not legal, that the German-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 escape paying
its orooer share to the depositors'
'guaranty fund, and that the whole
transaction will aet a precedent tor tne
barter and sale of state bank charters.
