Nebraska Bankers Association and
Outsiders Line Up For and Against.
Omaha, April 23.-Members OF the
Nebraska Bankers association and the
bankers outside of the organization
are at loggerheads over the bank guar
anty law passed by the recent legis-
lature. Officers of the association
have announced they will test the law,
believing 1t to be unconstitutional. A
large number of bankers outside the
association will defend the law.
Victor Wilson, who has charge OF
the defense, in circular issued today
says:
you doubtless have been made
aware of the fact that the executive
committee of our state bankers asso
citation is fathering a gigantic and bit
terly hostile attack In the courts upon

IS Already in County Club.

Thirty-five Norfolk men had signed
the charter membership list for a
country club, at l o'clock this after
noon. And there is every indication
that the projected club will materialize
and become complete success in
time for enjoyment this summer.
The country club plan was dis
cussed at mass meeting held in the
office of Mapes & Hazen last night,
attended by an unusually large num-
Der of enthusiastic men. 1t was re-
marked that not in years had any pro-
ject proven so popular, II the mass
meeting attendance could be taken as
a guage.
The meeting organized with s. M.
Braden chairman and ]. s. Mathewson
secretary. 1t was determined to ap-
point a membership committee to can
vass the situation and secure sigma
lures to the proposition involving pay
ment of $50 for this summers fee. The
plan is to lease grounds and build a
club house.
A Place Fer Pleasure.
The grounds will be fitted out in
typical country club style with all
sorts of amusements for all sorts OF
tastes. There would be boating and
tennis and bowling and golf and base
ball and a dozen other sorts of amuse-
ment to be devised later. There
would be a comfortable club house fit
ted with perhaps electric lights and
electric stoves, telephones, fireplace,
dancing floor, shower baths, lockers
and tables and dishes and chairs for
picnic suppers.
Many members would probably camp
at the club ground during summer
months. There would be pure water
and swings, etc., for the children.
The committee appoined to canvass
the memberships were: DR.. G. s
Parker, Sol G. Mayer and G. e. Burn
ham. The sentiment of the meeting
was to limit the membership to 100.
The building committee is: DR.. P
H. Salter, w. A. Witzigman and d
Mathewson.
Meet Again Next Wednesday.
| An adjourned meeting will be helt
next Wednesday night when the com
mittees will report.
Within twenty minutes last nigh
twenty-three memberships had beer
pleged and it was thought there woult
be little difficulty In securing 100 with
in the week,
1t was generally conceded the clul
was a much needed institution in Nor
folk and the plan was supported will
enthusiasm.

BURNHAM ISSUES ASTATEMENT
Norfolk Head of State Bankers Denies
State Association Action.


Fremont, Neb., April 23.-President
c. e. Burnham of the Nebraska State
Bankers association sent a telegram
to the members of group 2 of the
state association, which was in annual
convention here yesterday denying all
statements made to the effect that
the state association will fight the
way opposed to it.
Mr.. Burnham. whose home Is at
Norfolk, was unable to attend the con-
.vention, but his telegram bespoke what
the members of group 2 most wanted
to know. The telegram was read by
state association, at banquet held
by the convention last night.
Mr.. Hughes went further and said
that there has been no attempt on the
part of the state bankers association
to raise money to fight the bank guar
anty law in the courts, as has been
claimed by some of those opposed to
the law.
Officers elected for the ensuing year
by group of the Nebraska State
Bankers association are as follows:
F. M. Weitzel of Albion, president; Fl.
F. Calridge of Blair, vice president;
M. R. Miller of Columbus, secretary
The only drawback to the convention
was the inability of Governor Shallen
berger to attend the banquet. He was
to have addressed the convention on
the bank guaranty law, but owing to
an engagement in Lincoln missed his
train. He telegraphed his regrets.
