To Gust Leavenworth,s Mayor.

Topeka, Kan, Jan. ST. S. Jack
son, attorney general, and his special
assistant, Charles d. Shukers, filed in
the supreme court here Wednesday
an custer suit against Peter Eyer
hardy, mayor of Leavenworth, and a
citation for contempt for Captain j.
T. Taylor. Captain Taylor is the man
charged with being the go-between
for the jointists and the city. He was
the collector who secured the money
from the jointists and then paid it to
the city. The custer suit is brought
against Mayor Everhardy because he
has yiolated his oath of Office in al
lowing saloons to run and in not fur
nishing the evidence that the pro
hibitory law was being violated to the
county attorney.

SOME BANK MUST APPLY
Comptroller of Currency Issues State
ment Regarding Oklahoma Law.
How Official Opinion May Be OBJ
tanned Affecting Nationa! Banks
and State Guaranty Laws.

Washington, Jan. 4.-The rights
and privileges OF national banks OF
Oklahoma under the recent law Of
that state providing for the guaranty
of deposits in banks within the state,
formed the subject of statement by
the comptroller of the currency Thurs
day. He refers to a previous attempt
upon his part to obtain an opinion
from the attorney general as to the
legal right of national banks, to avail
themselves of the law, which officer
says he, declined to render an opin-
ion, because at the time the question
was submitted the bill in question
had not been enacted into law.
The comptroller states that before
an official opinion can be obtained
from the department of justice, 1t
will be necessary for some national
bank in Oklahoma to make applica-
ton in writing to the state banking
board for permission to receive for
its depositors the protection of the
depositors guaranty fund, and for the
comptroller to be formally requested
to agree with the state banking board
and bank commissioner upon what
terms and conditions the application
may be sustained.
When the question again comes be-
fore the officer in this form, the comp
troler said, he will again refer it to
the attorney general for an opinion
as to his right to enter into an agree
ment with the bank commissioner
and the state banking board provid-
ing for terms and conditions upon
which national banks may accept the
terms and be subject to the liabilities
of this law.

THE "DRY" DISTRICTS GROW
Large Additions We're Made to Pro-
hibition Territory in 1907.
Forty Million People in This Country
Are Living Without Saloons
There Are More to Follow.

Chicago, Jan. 2.-There is JOY
among prohibitionists over the. bumps
that have been received in the last II
months by king Alcohol and "Old
John Barleycorn,' and the new year
will mark large additions to dry dis
tricts throughout the country. -
Local leaders in the dry camp
point out that Georgia and Oklahoma
now have passed into the prohibition
column, while Mississippi is waiting
for it's legislators to keep their pledge
to pass a prohibition act for that
state. The new year, they say, will
see 100000 persons living in pro-
hibition territory in the United
States, and party leaders predict that
the white flag soon will wave over
states where opposition TO the tenn
perance movement heretofore has
been keen.
The two latest acquisitions to the
prohibition ranks are Oklahoma and
Georgia" said Alonzo E. Wilson at
Chicago prohibition headquarters
Wednesday. Alabama has voted
against liquor and Mississippi will
follow next month. In Illinois we
have a good start in four counties.
