That the new banking laws which
went into effect are proving no hard
ship to the better class of sound finan-
cial institutions is the opinion of State
superintendent of Banking Alden An
derson, who says that most of the
bankers Have shown an earnest dispo-
sition to comply with the requirements
of the recently passed acts, and all the
good bankers seem to feel that it really
adds to their status and prestige to
have the closest supervision and eX-
animation. However, those which do
not wish to comply with the laws will
have to do so, anyway" tersely re-
marked Mr.. Anderson, as he shifted his
cigar
Il shall endeavor to work with the
controller of currency at Washington
and will call on the state banks for
their reports at about the same time
calls are made on the national banks"
To Be Bank Examiner
When questioned as to whom he
would appoint as bank examiner for
the district of Los Angeles, Mr.. Ander-
son stated that John w Wilson had
been suggested by the Clearing House
association, and was an admirable man
for the position. Mr.. Wilson is a
very capable man, and the only ques-
tion Is whether his duties in his present
efficiency in the work of bank exam
iner. If l find that his duties do not
interfere [ will indeed be glad to have
such a capable man." remarked the
state superintendent.
When questioned as to what involved
his attention at the present time, the
superintendent of state banking smiled
sardoncally, as if to intimate that he
was not exactly having a picnic. and
admitted that a few things kept him
busy "Some things on which 1 have
been working while in this part of the
country are as follows" he said.
'I have been investigating the affairs
of the Kimmon- -Ginko-which means in
our language Golden State" bank, and
have it's affairs now in process of liqui-
dation.
Long Beach Bank May Reopen
81 have also looked into the affairs Of
the Citizens Savings bank of Long
Beach, the affairs of which are now in
the hands of a receiver. At present "a
per cent OF it's stockholders and so per
cent of it's depositors are petitioning
the superior court to levy an assess
ment on the stock in order to allow the
bank to reopen. After careful consider
alton I have admitted the petition and
will give permission to reopen If they
will adhere strictly to the terms Of
their petition to the court. First, levy
ing an assessment: second, opening the
bank under different management than
that which put in into the hands of a
receiver, and third, that they will make
their required weekly report.
The new banking laws passed in this
state follow the national banking laws
with respect to commercial banks, and
they are similar to the New York state
banking laws with respect to savings
banks and trust companies. The laws
themselves are complete and effective
if properly administered.
II look to see bank conditions in this
state on a very high plane when the
provisions of these laws are fully COM
piled with and it's obligations are thor
oughly understood and followed"

BANKS OF STOCKHOLM ALREADY

Labor Revolution Threatens Throne
of King Gustav-Special Session
of Parliament Has Seen
Summoned
GBy Associated Press. 7

O TOCKHOLM, Aug. "a labor war
~ throughout Sweden that is sched-
~ uled to begin tomorrow threatens
to develop in Stockholm into something
approaching a revolution.
The trouble will be aggravated by
the present general strike and lockout.
The members of the Young Socialists
rarty are striving to give this move
ment revolutionary character, and
the government, warned that a politi-
cal campaign is on, has taken steps to
nip the expected disorders in the bud.
The authorities have decided at the
first signs of insurrection to declare
Stockholm in a state of siege.
Soldiers are being quartered in diff
ferent sections of the city and suburbs,
and the entire standing army of Swe-
den is ready for action.
The situation has suddenly taken so
serious a turn that King Gustav has
summoned parliament to Stockholm,
and a special session of the rigsdag is
expected.
A civil corps guard is being organ
lied for the protection of property, and
the banks are closed and guarded.
All the ferries running out of Stock
holm have ceased operations, and the
largest steamers engaged in carrying
visitors and residents to the seaside
resorts in the archipelago have sudden
ly stopped running, discharged their
crews and laid UP for the winter.
The summer traffic is usually heavy
until October.
1t is expected the present total OF
about 100000 idle workmen will be in
| creased largely by tomorrow. 1t is
anticipated also that the street car
service in Stockholm will stop Wednes-
day, and arrangements are being made
today to run the water works and the
electric light plants by soldiers.
The bridges leading to the islands
adjacent to Stockholm are closely
guarded.
Many stores have been closed and no
milk is being delivered in the city.
The sale of spirits, beer and wine has
been prohibited.
The labor conflict that is at the bot
ton of this trouble originated in dis
pute over wages in the woolen and cot
ton industries.

attorney authorizing Charles Fair to
employ him on behalf of Mrs. Oelrichs
ans Mrs Vanderbilt 1t was alleged
by the defendants that Seymour was
not employed by them. The lower
courts decided against Seymour.
