Dickerson to Submit
Draft of q Bill to the Next
Legislature

Reno, Nevada. August 14.-Governor
d. s. Dickerson Of Nevada is now lend
ing all of his efforts in preparing a new
banking law for consideration at the
coming session Of the Legislature. The
inability of the State authorities to in
teryepe in the matter Of the re-
cent failure Of the Bank Of Aus
tin, because the bank was q pri-
banking institution. has
called to notice again the total futility
of Nevada banking statutes. The At
torney. General has rendered an opinion
that private banks are exempt from
supervision Of the State Bank Exsmi-
ner, and the State can intervene only
in cases of c%riminality where the coun-
ty has already begun prosecution.
Governor Dickerson says that he has
the banking laws of Oklahoma at hand,
and some features Of these statutes will
be embodied in the proposed Nevada
law. An effort will be made to give
every protection to the depositor. who
has suffered heavily during the bank
failures Of the past three months.

FRESNO SAVINGS
BANK SUSPFNDS
STATE COMMISSIONERS CLOSE
DOORS FINALLY
Temporary Receivershlp to Be Made
Permanent Is Statement Concern
Ing Institution Founded Jan-i
uary 16 Last
[By Associated Press.I

FRESNO, Cal, Sept 2S--The Valley
Savings bank of Fresno, incorporated
under another name originally, Janu-
airy 16 last was ordered temporarily
suspended and doors closed for bus
mess last Saturday on order of the
state commissioners.
Under the admitted circumstances
of the case the temporary suspension,
it is reported, will be made permanent
and its affairs wound up. This de-
cision will not be formally made, how
ever, until Tuesday, that date being
the last of the stay of the commits
sloners In the examination of the
banks of Fresno city, heightened out
by this discovery.
Temporarily the banks affairs have
been placed in charge Of Accountant
H. A. Anawald, as custodian, in the
absence in the east of ]. b. Monnette,
who is the vice president of the bank,
the directing business manager and, IN
fact, the promoter of the enterprise.
1t was on January IA last that the
articles of Incorporation were filed
here of the Valley Deposit Mortgage
and Savings bank, with an authorized
capital of 100000, in 1000 shares, and
three of them subscribed by the fol-
lowing named: L. M. Heimer of Los
Angeles, ]. B. Monnette of Pasadena
and Joseph L. Morse Of Fresno.
On June was filed by a majority
of the board of directors a request to
the court to change the corporate name
to the Valley Savings Bank of Fresno,
for the reason that the original name
is cumbersome, unwieldy and incon-
venient in the transaction of business,
and it was desired to add the words
"of Fresno" to give the name local
significance.
The deposits are not known, the Of
ficials declining to make public state
ment.
On the authority of one conversant
with the affairs of the bank, but not
authorized to speak for 1T, 1t Is given
out that the loans made are less In
sum than the deposits, and that the
difference between the loans and the
sums called for by the deposit books
is on hand, so the depositor who may
demand his money viii be paid to that
extent and in full in the end.

DAVIS SOON TO
KNOW Ills FATE
OMAHA MURDER TRIAL MAY
END TODAY
Taking of Evidence Is Concluded and
Arguments viii Be Made This
Mornng-Offlcers Are
ChIdden
[By Associated Press. ]

OMAHA, Sept. 2s.-The taking of
evidence in the preliminary hearing OF
Charles Edw.rd Davis, charged with
the murder of DR.. Frederick Rustin,
was concluded today and the argu-
ments of counsel will begin tomorrow
morning. Mrs. Rice spent most of the
forenoon under a rapid fire Of cross
examination by Attorney Gurley for
the defense, but nothing of Importance
other than what has already devel-
oped was brought out.
During the afternoon the defense
presented its evidence, about a score OF
witnesses being called.
Mr.. Gurley sought to prove an altbi
by showing that Davis was at his hotel
when the shooting occurred.
The county attorney had lively half
hour with two police officers who had
been called into the case and sought
to show that they had not been vigil
liant in presenting the result OF the
investigation to him.
Attorney Gurley, who is defending
Davis. started the cross examination
of Mrs. Abbie Rice when the fourth
day of the preliminary hearing began
before Judge Crawford.
1t was the third day Mrs. Rice had
been on the stand, but she gave no
evidence of the nervousness apparent
in her manner on Saturday.
1t was plain Mr. Gurley intended to
take her through a severe examination
and the court room was again filled
to it's capacity when the case was
called.
County Attorney English ELECTED an
inclination to object to questions which
were intended to lay bare the relations
of Mrs. Rice and the dead physician,
and forced counsel for the defense to
show in each instance the relativity of
the questions 10 the case before per-
hitting the witness to answer.
The county attorney stated before
court convened that he expected to
place a number Of other witnesses on
the stand whose testimony would have
an important bearing on the case and
indicated that some surprises might
be sprung.
The county attorney put one or two
questions before the defense took the
witness. Mrs. Rice, in reply to these
questions, said she had planned to
shoot herself after killing the doctor.
Mr.. Gurley then began his cross-ex-
animation. Mrs. Rice told of her ILL
ness and of DR.. Rustin being called in
a professional capacity. Her first re-
lations with him followed an operation
he performed on her. During the
months following the physician was
with her most of his time, she de-
clared.

RICH H0NGK0NG MERCHANT
COMES AS PATIENT
RESPONSIBILITY SHIFTS TO THE
WASHINGTON OFFICIALS
Arrival Of the Distinguished Visitor
Raises First Problem lof Kind
in History of lmmi-
grafton
FBy Associated Prsss.l

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 2S'-The
special board of inquiry appointed TO
investigate the case of Robert Bos-
man, the wealthy business man OF
Hongkong who arrived here on the
liner Korea yesterday accompanied py
two wives, this afternoon determined
to shift the responsibility of saying
whether or not the party shall be ad-
mitted to this country to the lmmigra-
ton department at washington.
AS Bosnian has come to this country
seeking medical attendance, he will be
allowed, under bond, to come ashore
and be taken, pending advices from
Washington, to the German hospltai
in this city, accompanied by one ser
want; but the two wives and three
children will not be allowed ashore at
all.
Bosnian is in urgent need of skillful
medical attention and will take advan-
tage of the opportunity given him TO
undergo treatment while awaiting
word of the action taken in his case
at Washington.
The decision of the immigration au-
thorities to refer the Bosnian matter
to Washington was reached only aIter
a careful examination of all precedents
and previous rulings in similar cases,
of which there are so few on record
that it is practically the first time that
the particular question has had to be
answered.
Bosnian is openly living with his two
wives, and says this is the first time
that his actions have ever been called
into question. He is man of great
wealth and very prominent in his own
city, where he is the owner of great
quantity of valuable land.
He had planned to make rather
extensive tour of this country after his
health was restored by the skill OF
American physicians, and 1t is believed
If he is denied entrance to the country
even as a tourist, on the ground of his
belief and practice of polygamy that
he will appeal the case to the highest
authority possible before accepting
sentence of deportation.

ATTEMPTS TO KNOCK
OUT BANK STATUTE
Noble Institution Appeals to United
States Tribunal to Test Constl-
tutionality of Guaranty
Measure
IBy Associated Press.1

WASHINGTON, Sept. 2S.-The ap-
peal of the Noble State bank of Okla
homa from the decision of the supreme
court of that state in the proceeding
of the bank, which was instituted to
test the constitutionality of the Okla
homa bank guaranty law, was docket
ed in the supreme court of the United
States today.
Governor Haskell, as chairman of
the state banking board, is made the
principal defendant.
The case originated in the Logan
county district court of Oklahoma,
which court sustained a demurrer and
refused to grant the injunction asked
for by the bank.
The case was appealed to the supreme
court of the state, where the decision
of the county court was affirmed. The
state supreme court held that the law
was contrary neither to the federal
nor the state constitution.
Much interest is felt in the case be-
cause of the pre-eminence that has
been given to the bank guaranty plank
of the Democratic party and because
Mr.. Bryan has laid especial stress upon
it. The court will be asked to advance
the case to the docket, but it is doubt
full If it can be heard before the No
vember election.
