Council Bluffs, Oct. 30.-The meas
,,res which were put into effect by
the banks in Council Bluffs, with the
idea of conserving the mutual interests
of hanks and depositors, have proven
adequate for the occasion ana nave
been met by the public in the pest
OF humor. In addition to restricting
the sum any depositor could WIN
draw each day on his account to Wv
there was a provision for the Issuance
OF cashiers certificates in the denom-
nations OF 81, $40. and $50. The lat

innate healthy outcome of the situa-
ten.
The banks here have large total de-
posts of country banks in southwest
tern Iowa, and the same rules govern
iEs their accounts We're enforced as
were made to apply locally. Despite
this temporary locking up OF a por-
ton of the cash from the country. IN
most localities outside OF Council
Bluffs the banks continued to pay
depos.lors as they came, and the fact
that they were able to do this and not
impoverish their vaults, speaks well
for the banks and the confidence felt
In them by their customers.
Slowly it has been realized that it
is the refusal of the eastern banks
which held more or less of the money
of the western banks. to honor drafts
OF their customers. that has caused
all the trouble. Business men are re-
tanning sufficient cash to conduct their
business and accommodate their GUS
toners with little cash, but are
making deposits as usual. the deposits
of the banks for the last three days
more than doubling their payments
Under the new order OF things. En-
plcyes of some of the larger concerns
have experienced some difficulty in
tashing their pay checks and the
present has been the opportunity Of
the man who has money and a will
ingness to discount the pay checks,
a business in which several have
protited to large extent. Many sal
aired men who have hitherto never
had an account at the bank. deposit
their pay checks and in turn pay their
bills with checks.

o'clock Mrs. w. S. Reece and her two
sisters, Of New Providence, were re-
turning home from this city, in a sin

fastened to cross the railroad track
and just as they nearly reached the
track the passenger slipped into the
station and the engine was right in
front of them before they realized
their peril. Mrs. Reece gave the horse
a quick turn, which caused him to be
partially on an embankment. This,
with the noise from the engine startled
the horse and he had soon overturned
the buggy, tipping the three occupants
partially out. He dragged them few
feet before he finally made his es-
cape. The horse was soon caught. The
harness and buggy suffered greatly but
the three occupants were more FORUM
ate, escaping with merely cuts and

Finding Stolen Securities Of No Value

Special 10 mes-Repubiican
Des Moines, Oct. 30.-Roy Rome, the
19-year-old elevator boy at the Clapp
block, now in the county jail, has con-
fessed to a burglary Of startling pro-
portions. About $4,000 in securities and
diamond and pearl rings were taken
Saturday afternoon from the private
office Of Ludlow Robbins, real estate
dealer, the rings belonging to his Wife.
The safe was found open by Robbins
Sunday morning when he entered his
office. His office partner, r. l.. Long,
upon entering the office the evening
before found the safe door wide open,
as it had been left by Robbins, who
had left the office few moments ear
Tier. Long closed the door but did not
know the combination tumblers. When
the safe was opened Monday morning
by Robbins he discovered the tin box
gone; in it were deeds, notes, bank
certificates and jewels amounting to
large sum. Detectives We're at once
called in on the case.
In the closet where the boy kept his
clothes they found a paWnticket for a
diamond ring. AT Seigefs paWnshop on
Walnut street they found Rome had
secured only $3.50 on jewelry. The
officers took Rome to his home before
his mother. When confronted with the
pawnticket he broke down and con-
fessed the whole thing. He stated he
had taken the tin box from the safe
before Long had come in on Saturday.
He then went to the basement of the
Clapp block and examined the con-
tents. Finding the securities OF no
value to him he opened the furnace
door and threw them in, quietly looking
on while thousands of dollars went up
in smoke. The rings he took to the
pawnshop. Rome had spent but little
Of the money. In relating his story he
was pressed to tell what had become Of
the tin box. He said he tried to burn
it in the furnace, but it would not
burn, so he took it to the Court avenue
bridge across the Des Moines river and
to the bottom.
Rome was charged with grand lar
ceny. He pleaded not guilty before
Judge Mathis and his case was set for
hearing Nov. 8. Robbins says about
$1,000 Of the securities were notes
which he may lose. The balance of the
papers can be duplicated, the bank GER
tificates of deposit he cancelled by no.
tifying the bank to stop payment.
