ORIENTAL CLOSES.
1t Finds Another Days Run Staring
1t in the Face.

New York, Jan. 31.-The Oriental
bank on which a run of depositors
started yesterday, did not open for
business today. A notice was posted
on the door announcing that the bank
was closed by order of the state super
intendent of banks.
The Oriental is a state bank, having
capital stock of s750,000. According
to its last statement it owed to indivi-
dual depositors $7.576,S11 and to
banks bankers and brokers S3,477,-
252. It had a surplus fund of 1912, 900
and undivided profits of $303,947-
G. S. Leonard, a state bank exami-
ner, was placed in charge of the in
stitution this morning. A branch of
the Oriental bank at 122 Bowery, also
was closed. A line of depositors was
formed in front of the main offices at
Broadway and John street at an early
hour today and when the hour for
opening arrived there were about 10
depositors in line, some of whom had
already been standing for several
hours in the extreme cold. As soon as
the closing was announced the line
melted away.
The recent troubles of the Oriental
date from the failure of the Borough
bank of Brooklyn and the Interna-
tional Trust company, October last
When the Borough bank closed it was
discovered that the Oriental bank had
loaned II SZ0U,UOO anu IL Was dSSorIeu
that this was returned to the Oriental
as part of the capital stock of the In
ternational Trust company.
Richard w. Jones, jr., president of
the Oriental bank, retired on Novem-
ber L and Hugh Kelly, a we'll known
commission merchant, was elected
president. In the distrust which fol-
lowed the Brooklyn disclosures the
Oriental suffered considerably and it
was compelled to take out about 81
100000 of clearing house, certificates.
About 100000 of these had been re-
tired when the clearing house refused

The Senate Has a Quiet Session
Today.

The lion that roared so bloodthirst-
tocracy outgeneraled the defenders OF
the peoples rights to have the safety
of their simoleons guaranteed had be-
when the senate convened this morn
ing.
He had, however, by his very fierce
ness, so thoroughly alarmed the sena-
tors who felt the passage of the bank
examiners bill to be of vital impor-
tance to the business interests of the
state, and so convinced his friends Of
the genuineness of his promise to
throttle house bill No. 13 If he had to
stay over day to do it, that when the
roll was called no less than 32 of the
40 senators were in their places and
responded. Those who took chances
and went home or absented them
selves were Chapman, Fitzpatrick. Gill

Woodson, Porter of Crawford, and

TALKING OF 1.-THE CODE
Lawyers Discussing ACCESSIBILITY of Its
Revision.

1t is very unlikely that the Kansas
State Bar association, in session at the
supreme court room, will take any
definite action concerning the proposed
revision of the civil code of procedure.
This is such a big job that even the
lawyers are afraid of it., The revision
of the code is almost as important to
the lawyers as would be the revision
of the constitution to the people The
code is what governs all court proce-
dure.
Two years ago committee consist
ing of s. H. Allen, w. H. Rossington,
r. F. Carver, ]. ID. Mcfarland and A.
W. Benson was appointed by the bar
association to revise the code. This
committee prepared a bulky bill for in
PRODUCTION in the legislature, but the
lawyers were not very enthusiastic
about it, and it was allowed to die
The bar association took another year
to think about 1t, and this afternoon s
session of the association has been de-
voted to further discussion of the code.
It seems to be the general impress
sion that in order to get together on
the code revision, the lawyers will have
nothing else to do.
This morning the following papers
were read before the association:
THE Power of Congress to Create
Corporations A. G Mitchell, Law
renee.
False Doctrines" E. D. Osborn, To-
peka.
"Old Ninth Judicial District, Incl
dents and Suggestions, S. r. Peters.
Newton.
This evening the association will hold
it's annual banquet at Music hall, on
Quincy street The banquet will begin
at $50.
Tomorrow the whole day will be de-
voted to the conference of the district
court judges, which will be presided
over by Judge ]. G. Ruppenthal OF
Russell county.

The Kansas team Is well trained
They are under the direction of Coach
Forest Allen, who was a member of
the Kansas City Athletic club Blue
Diamond team two years ago when
they won the worlds championship.
Allen played one of the forwards and
from this position acquired the repu-
tation of being the greatest free goal
thrower in the world. Last season
he coached Baker university and the
splendid team turned out by that
school last season was the result of his
coaching. There are some good
basketball players on the K u team
among whom might be numbered
Billy Miller and his brother, the for
mer being one of the best forwards in
the west, and his brother being almost
as good as a guard.
The X. U. lineup will be: Forwards,
B. Miller and McCune; center, Bergen
guards, S. Miller and Randall.
The Washburn team, which will
Tice, forwards; Millice, center:
Haughey and Reed, guards. Brethour
will play one of the guards in the last
half and either Mooney or Ritchie will
be sent in a t one of the forwards.
DR.. Naismith Of Kansas university
will referee and Guy Steves of Topeka
will umpire.
Washhurn will play a return game
with K. U. next week at Lawrence

CHARLIE MORTON DEAD
Well Known Topeka Young Man Vic
tim of tuberculosis.

Charles H. Morton. for years an en-
ploye in the supreme court, died at
noon today of tuberculosis, at his
home. 1928 Topeka avenue, after an ILL
ness of nearly a year.
1t is probable that no young man in
Topeka had a wider circle of friends
that Charles Morton. A genius, a
good fellow and at the same time a
was liked by every one who knew
him.
Last March Mr.. Morton was com
preme court. and go south on account
did not consider his illness seriously,
but the change failed to restore his
health. In the early part of the WIN
ter he returned to his home, feeling
that his case was hopeless and wishing
to be near his mother.
Before his illness. Mr.. Morton was
an ardent follower of the gun. at
tending many of the western shot gun
tournaments and winning many med
ais and prizes. He was member of
the Topeka Gun club and the Topeka
Rifle club. His knowledge of the
sport and his literary genius resulted
in number of excellent articles
which were published in the higher
class of magazines. In the past six
years nine of his articles on sport
afield have been accepted and pub
lished by Outing" besides a number
of articles which he wrote for Rec
reation" and other magazines. His
last article in Outing was published
The Topeka state journal., 1908-01-31

This, however, does not mean that
the Washburn team will disband. The
team draws well on the road, as
basketball seems to be popular
game in other towns. Washburn will
continue the season but unless shown
sufficient encouragement at the game
tomorrow night, all the remaining
games of the season will be played on
the road
The game tomorrow night from the
dope looks like it ought to be a close
one. Both teams have played Ne
braska university and from the results
of these games tomorrow nights bat
tie ought to be a fercely contested one
Washburn lost to Nebraska on a dis
puted decision by a score of 25 to "a.
The Cornhuskers played two games
with K U. in which the score was
nearly as close. Kansas lost both
games. the first by score of 25 to 21
and the second % to 21.
The game tomorrow night will be
the first one ever seen in Topeka
which will be played under the inter-
collegiate rules for the game. Hereto
fore all games have been played un-
der the American Athletic union rules.
! There is quite a difference and the
new rules will make the game freer
and rougher. 1t will also make the
game much faster. The new rules are
being generally adopted by colleges
and will probably in another year be
generally accepted.
