Kansas City Bank Closed Insolvent
After Ten Days Existence

Kansas City, Jan. 26.-The Planters
bank, a private banking institution that
was duly chartered under the state
laws and which opened it's doors for
business in the Gibraltar building, at
SIS Wy&ndOtte street, ten days ago, was
closed yesterday by Secretary of State
Lesueur and State Bank Examiner
Arnold. At the same time the bank
was closed, Samuel F. Hancock and
Leonard G. Imboden, owners and pro-
motors of the concern, were taken into
custody by Chief of Police Hayes and
Detective Ed Booher.
The bank was organized and started
in business apparently without a dol
lar. The rent of the room occupied by
the concern has not been paid and the
promoters owe for the bank stationery
ordered when they commenced business.
When the doors of the institution were
closed the available assets found by
the bank examiner were 2.S5 in money
and a few postage stamps The pro-
motors of the bank do not even own
the waste paper basket and the cheap
desk that were in the room occupied by
them.
The Planters bank was organized on
January IA and began business two
days later. The cash capital credited to
it was $4,000, although neither limbo
den nor Hancock had a dollar in the
concern.
Imboden told Hancock that he had
$25. 900 in drafts and New York exchange
and that he would put these into the
concern and go ahead and organize.
Imboden said he wanted Hancock to be
known as the sole owner of the bank
and to take charge and run it until the
state bank which was to succeed it was
organized. Hancock gave his note for
$25, 600 to Imboden and the latter turn
ed over drafts and cash to the amount
of the capital stock required to organize,
a charter was procured and the institu-
ton began business under the name of
the Planters bank.
A check drawn by Imboden on the
TsaT7 hot
what led to an investigation of the
affairs of the concern.

KNEW SENATE WAS THERE
Because He Saw it Before the Cigar
Smoke Got So Thick.

Afternoons in the senate Tuesday and
Wednesday, had the period been March
instead of January, would have been
designated as very windy days. The
state university weather man would
say, 1.-THE windieSt probably in all our
history of legislative doings in the past
30 years." This would have been, in
measure, true. The senators who have
been corked up closely during the spec
ial session and up to date in the regu-
lar session, have apparently overcome
their bashfulness and they have sawed
the air at a great rate this week.
A stranger came into the senate gal
1ery Monday and said to a friend:
whats going on down there?''
was the reply.
How do you know"
ct was here before the smoke got so
thick
There was much truth in this state
ment Until today the rules against
smoking have not been enforced and
senators getting up to make a speech
or a motion have been frequently OBJ
served to tenderly lay a piece of cigar
ceeding.
From out or this smoke, however.
there have come, during the past two
days, much fervid eloquence and pro-
aonged political party raIlying cries. A
listener who could not see the proceed
ingS would imagine that camp meet
ing is in progress when the elOquence
reaches it's zenith An evidence of this is
found in the fact that yesterday, after
tally tiresome speech, some man in a
secluded spot yelled out, "amen." Then
all laughed, except, of course the man
who made the speech.

A BILL OF LEGAL FEATURES.
Only the Lawyers Understood What
the Debaters Were Driving At

The lawyers of the house had an in
ming yesterday afternoon in the COM
mittee of the whole when Representa-
tive Wheeler's bill in relation to as
signments of rights in court actions
came up for action. The bill is full of
legal terms which only lawyers can I'M
derstand, but is meant to give person
who has a claim against another for
damages for personal injuries the right
to sell his claim to a third party.
Mr.. Wheeler, the author of the BILL
said Kansas is the only state having a
code which does not allow the transfer
of such claims
Mr. Wise of Reno, said the title of the
bill should be IAN act to allow shySterS
and spectators to prey on the miSfOr-
tunes of Others and he opposed it.
This interested nearly all the lawyers
in the house and there was considerable
sparring back and forth. Grattan OF
Mcpherson, McKeever of Shawnee, Gels
sler of Logan, Wise of Reno, Adams of
Sedgwick Wheeler of Crawford, and
several others made long legal argu-
ments on the bill, while the rest of the
members sat around and wrote letters
or read the State Journal
After a debate lasting an hour the
committee voted to strike out the en-
acting clause and the bill was killed.

Plan OF MURDER
Which Resulted in the Death of
I'll. C. Barnet,
And Nearly Proved Fatal to
Harry Cornish
is COMING TO LIGHT.
No Longer Any Doubt That the
Same Person Was
Responsible For Both Schemes
and Their Execution.

New York, Jan. 26-The Evening
Journal says today: A private letter
box in the name of H. c. Barnet, was
rented at No. 257 West Forty-second
street under circumstances similar to
the rental of a private letter box at No.
1920 Broadway in the name OF ii.
Cornish In answer to a letter signed
III. G. Barnet to Won Mohl & Co., OF
Cincinnati, a sample box of pills was
sent to their address. The pills were
the same kind as a man using the name
of H. Cornish ordered from the same
firm.
The handwriting of the letter ordering
the pills signed H. c. Barnet is the
same as that signed H. Cornish and
both were written by the same person
who addressed the poison package to
Harry Cornish at the Knickerbocker
Athletic club.
The deduction is inevitable that the
poisoner in each case used the name OF
his intended victim to shield himself.
The most sensational part of this dis
covery is that the letter signed H. Z.
Barnet" was written last May, ind1cat-
ing that the plot to murder Barnet ana
Cornish was formed months ago and
with a elaboration that is appalling
was perfected bit by bit.
Months passed before Barnet received
the fatal package of poisoned medicinal
powder at the Knickerbocl1er Athletic
club. In that time the murderer had
evidently changed his plan, deciding to
use powders instead of pills. Still, it is
odd that when after removing Barnet
and he was arranging to poison Cornish
he ordered the same kind of pills.
It is plain that he still thought that
the pill, properly poisoned, would make
an effective secret weapon of death The
central idea of the murderer is clearly
revealed by this new discovery. It was
in the name of the chosen victim, to or
der some sample of proprietary medi-
cine, in one case, KutnOws powder in
the other pills, to intercept the package,
put poison in the medicine and then
mail it under the guise of a sample box,
sent out by the firm, to the person he
wanted to kill.

NOT ENOUGH STATUTES.
To Comply With the Law Providing
Them for Certain Parties.

The senate ways and means commit
tees miscellaneous appropriation bill
which came up in committee of the
whole late Wednesday afternoon pro-
voked a lively discussion over the item
appropriating 5000 to complete the
purchase and distribution of the COM
piled statutes of 1897. The state two
years ago contracted, through the leg
islature for 5000 copies of these laws,
to be sent out to the township trustees,
among others. This could not be done
because the supply was limited. Sec
rotary Bush found that he had 700
books to be sent to ], 500 men. He did
not sent them but recommended that
the legislature purchase an additional
200 and thereby supply all entitled to
receive them.
There was a spirited debate in the
senate on this proposition and the Webb
compilation of statutes was criticised by
several of the members who urged that
the appropriation is unnecessary. How
ever, Senator FOrney, chairman of the
committee, and in charge of the pro-
posed bill succeeded in getting it
through.
