sible to realize upon them.
Among tho railroad securities with
which the firm was identified in recent

Oregon Pacific, San Antonio and Arlan-
Sas Pass, and the Charleston, Cincinnati
and Chicago, all of which have drawn
very heavily upon the resources OF tho
Bankers.
Wharton Barker was the president Of

was director of an Investment company,
OF Philadelphia, of which tho latter
company he was formerly vice-prosident-
Just before the Bankers suspension
was announced today, tho meetings of

either OF tho two corporations was
kept q secret. The finance company
made immediate preparations for an
anticipated run on its deposits. and sub
Sequent developments showed that tho

All drafts made upon it were prompt

number of persons who had accounts
there that the company was entirely
solvent, and would pay everything pre-
scented in the form of check or other
demand.
In the Office OF tho company, after 3

president Of the company, said that tho
finance company was under no stress;
that 1T could pay every obligation

INDIANA'S ELECTION LAW.
The State Supreme Court Decides One
Section Unconstitutional.

INDIANAPOLIS. IND, Oct. Gin an opinion
handed down here the supreme court decides
that section 13 of the Australian election law
passed by the last legislature is unconstitu-
tional. On some of the questions the opinions
of the judges are unanimous. but on some 9TH
ers they are not. All the judges agree that the
Legislature cannot add to the qualifications of
voters. and that the provisions requiring ninety
days residence in the county and that voters
shall be tax payers are unconstitutional and
void.
In the opinion of the court, written by Judge
Ode, it Is held that under the Constitution the
legislature may pass general registry law.
but cannot pass partial one. That the legs-
laturc cannot require a longer residence than
that prescribed by tue Constitution; that sec-
ton thirteen is a partial registry law and that
it does add to the constitutional requirements
of voters.
Judge Mitchell in n separate opinion holds
that the provisions Of section Is, which re-
quire Il residence in the county of ninety
days, are invalid and so are those requiring
voters to be tax payers, but that other pro-
visions OF the act are valid.
Judge Elliott also fled separate opinion
The decision affects section Is alone and NO
other
