On the face of the returns from the
latest smash.up in banking circles it
would appear that new banking law
is needed in Wisconsin. Then the
capital of bank could be examined
and passed upon by the State Exami-
ner before the doors opened for busi-
ness and all disputes between the
proprietors and the examiners as to
value of the securities put up as
capital for the bank would have to be
settled before the concern began to
take in the money of the depositors.
The capital might disappear before
the examiners made their second visit,
but the bank would have to have some
thing to start on anyway.

appointment of Henry F. Jordan Not
Satisfactory to Banks President.
If reports heard in legal circles can
be relied upon there will be interesting
developments in the Kenosha State
bank failure. The appointment of
Henry F. Jordan as Receiver by Judge
Belden yesterday, was not satisfactory
to the bank President, who with his
attorneys insists the bank is solvent,
and that there are sufficient assets to
pay all of the depositors.
If the President can secure a suffi-
cient bond, it is said that he will COM
mence mandamus proceedings for the
removal of the Receiver and proceed
to settle with the depositors. The
Bank Examiner declares that the con-
dition of the bank is not such as to
permit it continuing and believes that
the affairs should be wound up.-Ra-

FRED JORDAN SEEKS DIVORCE
Kenosha Mans Love BaIks When wife il
Sent to the State Prison.

Kenosha Mans Love Balks When Wife is
Sent to the State Prison.
Summons and complaint has been
made in suit brought by Fred Jordan
for an absolute divorce from his wife,
Louisa Jordan.
In his complaint Jordan alleges that
his wife is given to the use of strong
drink, that she is not a fit person to
care for his children, and last, but not
least, that she is now confined in the
State Prison at Waupun serving
sentence for adultery. The Jordan
family formerly lived in Kenosha. hut
since Mrs. Jordan was sent to prison
few months ago, the husband has been
residing in Racine.
1t is not probable that Jordan will
be accused of t1asty action in putting
his wife aside, as she has several times
been arrested on charges of an immoral
nature, but Jordan has made an effort
to keep the family together for the
benefit of the children.
Jordan asks the custody of the child
rem. The case will probably be taken
up at Racine during the present term
of the Circuit Court there.

LABOR OPPOSED TO BILL.
Hard Fight Measure Which Aims to
Lessen Wage Exemption From Debt.

Hard Fight on Measure Which Aims to
Lessen Wage Exemption From Debt,
Organized labor in Racine and in
fact throughout the State of Wiscon-
sin, with the exception of the Fede-
rated Trades Council of Oshkosh, is
making very hard fight on the meas
ure which aims to lessen the wage ex-
emption from debt.
The Federated Trades Council of
Milwaukee and of numerous of the
smaller cities In the state, have adopt
ed resolutions against the bill which
have been forwarded to Madison and
are daily being presented to the mem
bers to show how labor stands on the
bill.
The laboring men claim that the
grocers are working hard for the bill
or its substitute, which provides no
absolute exemption against debt, such
as is givensevery other branch of citi-
zen in the state. Thus the laboring
men say that the very grocers who are
asking for this bill have stocks to the
amount of $500 which cannot be
touched by their creditors. They fur
ther claim that there is no class of
people with whom they do business in
regard to whose financial standing the
grocer can know more than the wage
earners, and that Therefore in all cases
where they are extended credit it is
with the eyes of the tradesman open as
to just what his chances are for max
ing collections on the goods which he
is selling. They further say they see
no reason why other classes of men
should be given an absolute exemption
and none should be extended to them.

The President is determined that
the scandals IN the postal department
shall be fully investigated, and his
efforts to get at the truth of the
charges made against certain officials
are being ably seconded by Post
master-General Payne who has just
returned to Washington. In speaking
of the course the administration will
take on the investig alton, Postmaster
General Payne said:
eve do not intend that any guilty
man shall escape or any innocent man
be punished. We are going to the
bottom of the alleged scandals in the
postal department, and when we get
the facts we shall act accordingly"

If Judge Belden enforces his new
for carrying cases over from term to
term pay the costs, he will succeed in
clearing the docket of the Circuit
Court of some of the old familiar
standbys which make their regular ap-
pearance on the calendar at every
term but which never seem to come to
trial. Damage suits have been carried
on from year to year until the parties
seeking redress for injuries have been
frightened by the bills piled up as
costs and despairing of ever getting
their cases before the Court have been
induced to settle for little Or nothing
out of court. "The laws delay" has
also been particularly notica BILE in Ke-
nosha in the manner in which crimi-
nal cases are handled. Seldom, if ever,
has criminal been brought to trial at
the term of court Immediately follow
ing the commission of the crime. A
continuance is always asked for and
the trial put off as long as possible in
the hope that the prosecutors will be-
come disguised and drop the proceed
ings or that the necessary witnesses
to convict can be induced to disappear.
The ease with which certain favored
individuals have in the past not only
escaped any punishment and even
have succeeded in most instances in
avoiding being brought to trial, al
though repeatedly charged with the
most serious offences, is notorious and
if Judge Belden succeeds in forcing
these people into court for trial he will
win the lasting gratitude of the law
abiding portion of the community.

THE manufacturing interests of Ke-
nosha are united in opposition to the
railroad rate commission bill. The
manufacturers think that they are en-
tirely competent to handle their own
business with the railroads, and that
the appointment of commission
would work only harm to the business
interests of the state.

CoFFEEha touched the lowest prices
ever known and sales are being made
in New York for April and May de-
liveries at 3.95 cents a pound. This
makes the "three pounds for dollar"
cans look like thirty cents to the pub
lie, but it will probably be some time
before the grocers see it that way.

and independence of the house will be re-asserted under his speakership and that he is not so much opposed to cur rency reform legislation as determined that the house shall participate freely in the framing thereof. It is known, of course, that MT. Cannon is naturally op- posed to the wishes of Wall street, if for no other reason than that they are Wall streets wishes But. making due allow ance for that, there Is disposition here to believe that his recent utterances have been more boastful than sincere deliv- cred however, with some ulterior motive as that described. The necessity for cur rency reform legislation may not be so urgent after all as Wall street supposed several months ago that 1t would. The extreme apathy of speculati0n owing to which the demand for money for pur- poses of manipulation are greatly reduced together with the prospect of only a mod crate crop yield make 1t seem probable that the autumn can be tided over with out serious stringency in the money mar ket. It is possible now to borrow this money carrying over the end of the year at and 51A per cent. The most conserv- ative interests in the street would great ly deplore an outburst of bullish speeu- lation at this time. Bank loans need to be heavily reduced. If bull market was started now, the piper would have to be paid this autumn and last years trouble would occur all over again, whereas if speculation can be kept within bounds until late in August or in September, there may then be an opportunity to discount" with advancing prices the then definite prospect of a comfortable money market for the remainder of the year. One bad feature of the banking situation at the present time is the heavy private borrowing by big men who are more or less involved in "undigested se- curities."

HISTORIC sAPSLEY HOUSE
 WILL BE SACRIFICED

London, June 27.-It would be imperti- nent to suggest that the Duke of Well lington is not too well supplied with ready cash. but 1t may be remarked that the great-grandson of the conqueror of Napoleon Bonaparte seems desirous of ''reallzing" on his various properties without loss of time. Else His High Grace hardly would have followed up his somewhat delicate action In leasing strathfeldsaye-the magnificent country estate given by the grateful nation to his great ancestor-by offering for sale Alps ley House." the Iron Dukes famous res- idence in Piccadilly. There seems to be popular misunderstanding in this country to the effect that Apsley House was England's Waterloo gift to Yelling ton, whereas in fact he bought 1t with money given to him by the nation to be used as he liked, and considerable feel ing is likely to be aroused when it's pres ent noble owner actually disposes of the historic residence. This Is especially so as Apsley ff0use-with which is associ- ated another romantic story which hns nothing to do with the Welngtcns-is nearly certain, when sold, to be pulled
 
 an apartment house or even business premises. The once exclusive district sur rounding Hyde Park Corner, in which It stands, is changing fast and comparison of the present directory with one pub lshed some time ago shows that where a countess once lived. there is now cig- arette warehouse; on the ancient site of a baronial mansion. the headquarters of motor car company; and where once a great ladV held her drawing rooms there is q wine companys office.
 IG will be rather pity if Apsley House disappears for 1t is one of the most fa- nous of London mansions Oddly enough it stands on the ancient site of a humble apple stall and thereby hangs the most interesting of all the stories that are told of the gaunt old pile. In the time of George II this spot was not part of London at all but q mere field on the Knightsbridge road, past which the mcn- arch was driving one day when he no- ticed an apple stand thereon, attended by an old soldier Seeing that the veteran wore medals which proved him q fighting man of many campaigns the king stopped to speak with him. and. in the course of conversation asked if he could be of any service to him.

Finally the young lawyer spld his property to Henry, Lord Apsley who built upon It the historic mansion which now bears his name.
 The Duke of Wellington. bought Alps ley House from his elder brother the Marquis Wellesley, in 1920, and made if his home until his death. Every year he gave a magnificent banquet at which royalty generally was present, on the anniversary of the battle of Waterloo The house contains, besides one of the finest private collections of pictures in England. museum of relics which in- clude the Iron Dukes swords, batons and orders. bis field glasses and the cloak he wore at Waterloo There is also the sword of Napoleon. The dukes old bed- room is just HIS he left 1t, and, as might be expected, it is of Spartan plainness
 Perhaps thes best of the stories which are told of Apsley House during the ten ancy by Wellington relates how the old warhorse got back at Londoners for their instability. Early in the career as statesman which followed his military campaigns, the duke introduced a bill into parliament which was much 10 the dlstaste of the people. A few nights af- terward Apsley House was stoned by an angry mob and many of it's windows broekn Next day Wellington had every window from cellar to garret shielded with heavy Iron shutters and these he never permitted to be removed during his life. A year or two after the period ir which the duke had gained the popular ni will however, the tide changed and he was mere of an Idol than ever. And ore afternoon when he left the house of lords. an enthusiastic mob surrounded his carriage and escorted it. cheering un- til Apsley House was reached All dur ing the drive the victor of Waterloo made no sign to show whether or not he was pleased by his triumph. but when he had mounted his porch and was in full view of the people, he raised his stick and pointed sardonically up at the win Gows with their defensive iron shutters.
