Missouri sheriff Overpowered.

Ironton, Mo-, July 1O.-A gang Of
masked men overpowered and bound
Sheriff Marshall early Saturday, forced
their way into the county jail and
fired several shots at William and Ar
thur Spaugh, prisoners held on the
charge of having killed Sheriff Polk
several weeks ago. Each Of the Spaughs
received three bullets in his legs but
neither was seriously wounded. The
raiders then quietly departed. The
purpose of the strange attack Is mat
ter for speculation, since all the shots
were fred at the prisoners legs and
there was no attempt upon their lives.

BAD BANKING NOT ILLEGAL.
Controller Of Currency Explains
why Condition Of Topeka Bank
was Not Discovered. ;

washington, July lit. P. Kane
the deputy comptroller OF the curren-
cy in speaking Monday Of criticisms Oh
western bank examiners in not dis
covering certain alleged improper loans
made to C. J. DevIin of Topeka, VINO
recently failed, pointed out that there
was no authority in law to prevent the
loans referred to.
"The law" said Mr.. Kane, prohibits
the making Of loans by national BANK
to an individual or firm in excess OF ~
per cent of its capital stock. In the
present case" he added, "Mr. Devlin
was identified with a number OF cor
porations which borrowed from Kan
sas and Illinois banks. Each was per-
mitted to borrow to the 10 per cent
limit, the fact that the same indivi-
dual was at the head of these various
organizations not standing In the way
Of their borrowing the money" b
Mr. Kane said the comptrollers Office,
had been fully informed Of the loans
made to the companies in which Mr..
Deylin was interested. In this case.
as IN others where long line Of loans
to practically the same end exist. the
attention of the bank was called to the
matter. Mr.. Kane costinued: b
while 1t is bad banking to loan
excessively to one interest 1t is not
illegal. ~ - T. . pJH
In such criticisms as have been
made In the present instance the prop
er distinction is not drawn between
loan and the discount, of business or
commercial paper. While loans to
one individual or firm are subject to
the limit of 10 per cent of the capital
stock Of a bank there is no limit to the
amount Of business paper which q
bank may discount Devlin's liabili-
ties to the Topeka bank consisted Of
his endorsement Of business paper Of
the several coal corporations in which
he was interested. a
