National Banks at Peace
With Guaranty Plan

Topeka, Kans., May IT, National
bankers of Nebraska and Oklahoma
are clamorlng to take ont insurance
in the Bankers Deposit Insurance. and
Surety Company of Kansas. This is
the organization effected by the ma
tional bankers of Kansas and several
state bankers who do not like the
state guaranty law, to insure bank
deposits The company declines to
insure deposits in banks outside Of
Kansas
An Oklahoma banker, speaking for
a committee, appointed to see what
could be done, insisted on the Kansas
company extending its insurance to
Oklahoma. why should an insur-
ance company simply limit its policies
to one certain state?" he asked. ok
lahhoma national bankers viii most
all insure with the Kansas company.
if permitted to do so. They will sub
NIT to all the examinations demanded,
pay their premiums and take their
share Of the stock
The promoters of the Kansas com
pany made it plain that no insurance
would be written on banks of other
states. However they suggested that
the national bankers of Oklahoma
could follow the lead set by Kansas
and organize a similar company
1T is doubtful if we can organize
such a company here wrote one of
the national bankers of Oklahoma.

on driving national banks out of exist

They were shown a way out IF
Oklahoma refuses you a charter" I
wrote a Kansas banker, why not or /

some other state. Oklahoma could
not prevent you insuring in it,"
Nebraska national bankers are in
about the same boat as those in Ok

forbids nationals from participating.
even though the government should
give them the authority to do so. Now /
many Of them want to come into the
Kansas company But they have been
given the same reply as has been Civ

braska and Oklahoma have both ask

company and it has been furnished

sanize similar companies, providing of
course their state officials will per-

NIT them to do so If the officials
balk the bankers will then take out
a charter in some other state, possibly
Kansas.
Texas is still fighting on the guar
ianty question. The house and senate
are trying to get together on a bill
THE governor says he will call another
extra session if the legislature fails
to enact such law This would make
three extra sessions and one regular
session for Texas.
Both bank insurance plans are be-
ing organized rapidly. Bank Commits
sioner Dolley has sent out blank ap-
plicatons to all the state banks with
instructions to have their stockholders
adopt the necessary resolutions for
the admission of their banks to the
state guaranty fund. More than fifty
Of the applications, made out in due
form, have already been returned to
the banking department. The bank
commissioner expects from 500 to 500
of the 78O state banks to go into the
state fund.
The company, being organized to in
sure deposits of both state and ma
tionals, has heard from 175 of the 205
national banks Every one of them
has signified its intention Of insuring
in the company and also taking stock.
The stockholders of each bank are
only permitted to take stock equiya-
lent to 21a per cent of the capital
and surplus of their bank This will
raise $42O.OOO from national banks
alone. Enough state banks will parti-
cipate in this company to absorb the
other $4,000 of the $500,O0O capital.
The banks cannot subscribe for stock
outright Stockholders must do that.
But the banks declare dividends and
the stockholders of each bank appoint
a trustee to use the dividend to pay
for stock and pay the insurance pre-
MUM.
The state bankers convention viii
be held at Wichita about June l. At
that time Bank Commissioner Dol!ey
is scheduled to talk on "recent bank
ing legislation" This will give him
an opportunity to cement the friend |
ship between the bankers ON both in |
surance schemes. The national bank |
ers say they want peace and thai they
have no cause to make war Oh the
state guaranty plan. Commissioner
Dolley says there is not only room but |
l demand for both plans and that they |
should work together in harmony He
likely will make that sort of talk at l
he state bankers convention.

ALLEGED DANGEROUS
MAN is ARRESTED

Circus men came forward when Cor
nice Gray, coloTed, was arrested yes
terday and strongly charged that the
negro is an expert pickDocket and is
dangerous man to roam at large in a
large crowd. They informed local
police that Grady was a member of a
gang of three negroes who had fol-
lowed the show from place to place,
and one of them, a member Of the
same alleged gang of crooks, had been
turned up and convicted while the
show was in Birmingham last week.
They had the negro under suspicion
and pointed him out to Special Officer
Flynn, who was in plain clothes at the
grounds yesterday at 2 D. IA. Grady
was anxious to get out, but could fur
nish no security. In order to hold
him for trial a charge of Vagrancy
was placed against him.
