FRAUD IN BANK FAILURE

Assets.

WASHINGTON. oct 3O.--Comptroller Of

lowing statement regarding the affairs of
the failed Aetna Banking and Trust com.
pany of this city and Butte, Mont:
A report received at this Office from the
receiver Of the Aetna Banking and Trust
company at Butte, Mont, Indicates that
the condition Of affairs there is nearly as
bad as at the branch bank in this city.
The deposits. including those represented
by certificates, exceed F}5OOOO; other liza ;
bilities indicate that the total will be
nearly $4,000.
The receiver found only Sg.00e cash i'm the
bank. An asset appearing or the books
a liability of the New York Office for
$4,000 is wholly worthless as no assets
whatever have been found at IS Wall street

There appears TO be nothing among the
assets of substantial value unless IT. can
be found among the installment loans on
real estate. of the nominal value of A64D
That money OF the depositOrs has been
stolen is apparent. Where il has gone Is
not so easy TO discover. The officers

fore the Nebraska legislature. A special
committee, OF which c. J. Bowlby editor

for by the railroads, that this measure,
II enacted into law, would anset taxes 70
be paid By the railroads for state, county

deserves prompt ana vigorous rsbuks At
the hands OF all who believe that the
truth should be known with respect 70
every public measure and who object to
the escape Of taxation by the railroads for
state, county, city or school purposes.
We believe IL 20 be the duty OF every
democratic member OF the isgislaturs TO
vote for House RON l7I and register his
protest in An snsctivs way against the at
tempt of the railroads TO deceive the peo-
pie, ana through such deception escape
