asked her.
The woman blushed. Several times
during the interview a deep flush swept
her cheeks. This occurred when she
was asked il she had ever known any
affection for Runyan.

was the question.

take care of me. You know-of course.

released shortly. and that she will claim
the reward for the arrest of Runyan.

part of the money stolen by Runyan.
They said they had urged the young
man to tell everything that he knows
about the robbery, and the missing $685.

he had received any part of the money.
Krkstein was arraigned before Magis-

NEVADA PRESS COMMENT,
Neuoda Has No Banking LaW

Very few persons have known It,
but it is the startling fact that in this
State there is 10 banking law. Any
body, no matter what is his record. OF
whether he has million dollars or has
none, can open and start a bank IL
Nevada. There is no law against ac'
cepting deposits when a bank is known
to be insolvent. There is no law io
compel the examination OF banks re-
sources and their books. There is nc
law to compel them to publish quarter
ly statements of their condition. They
can be run with faro game behind thu
counter or a roulette wheel and II they
pay a gaming license they would be
entitled TO do business the same as any
bank. The fact that the looters of the
Goldfield Bank & Trust Company es
capped punishment and laughed at theil
victims was not due to technicality
It was due simply to the fact that II
accepting deposits when they knew
their bank was insolvent they broke M
law.-Tonopah Sun.

DON'T GIVE TRUST FUNDS

imprisonment has been added by the
House Committee on Election of the
President to the Senate bill stopping
corporations from making contributions
to political elections. The penalty for
offending corporations is fine of $4,000,
and any officer Of a corporation con-
senting to the gift or participating IN 1t
may be fined anywhere from $3.50 TO
$1,000. or imprisoned up to one year, or
he may be both fined and imprisoned.
The bill attacks the evil from two
points and thus reaches all corporations.
II first makes it unlawful for National
banks and other corporations organized
by authority of Congress to make a
money contribution to any election, to
any political office. These corporations.
being under the authority of Congress,
can be reached direct. The other COR
porations, and all others, at that. are
reached by making it unlawful to con-
tribute to any election at which Presi-
dental or Vice. Presidential Electors or
Representatives in Congress are being
voted on, or any election by any Leg
islature Of a United States Senator.
