seloit Banker $4,000 short.-H. A.
Phelps, cashier of the First National
Bank of Beloit, Is reported short
$4,000 in his accounts. He has turn
ed over all his property to the bank
and it is believed that it is enough
to entirely protect the bank from
loss. Mr.. Phelps is one of the most
prominent business men in that part
of the state and very highly regard
ed. The announcement came as
bolt from a clear sky. The First Ma
tional Bank is very strong institu-
ton and not in the least effected by
the trouble with its cashier, for whom
general sympathy is expressed. 1t
transpires that the cause Of Mr..
Phelps trouble was his effort to save
his sons bank at Scotville, a small
town east of Beloit, which closed its
doors recently, but will probably pay
depositors in full.
Banks Have 100000 More. -
Within the past two months Kansas
state banks have experienced
strinkage in total deposits of $751;
100000 or II per cent, from the high
est point deposits ever reached in
| the history of the state, according to
the report made by Bank Commits
sioner Royce from the call of De-
cember 8. He says that much of this
money was withdrawn for the NOV
| ing of crops and payment of taxes.
Mr. Royce comments upon the fact
that the Kansas banks on December
showed more actual cash by 81
3S5,9S9 than on August 22, when the
last previous call was issued from his
office. He notes that during this
same period of time the banks have
called in $5,2G0,0O0 of their outstand-
ing loans The reserve in the ma
tional banks at this time is 35 per
cent; in the state banks, sc per cent.
Though he does not mention a guar
anty deposit law, Mr.. Royce indi-
Gates that he believes a closer rela-
tionship between depositor and bank
err is imperative, so that when de-
positor leaves money in bank he
will know that it will be returned to
him upon demand,
