Topeka. Nov. 6.--The deposits in Kansas state banks have increased ss 900 900 since June 30. according to statement given out by J. N. Dolley, state bank commissioner. The state ment of the condition of the banks was called for September 29. The total de- nosits in the state banks is s96.696.- sa7ss. The national bank deposits are about the same, so that the total de- nosits of Kansas in the banks of the state Is about sl90.000000 In discuss ing the statement Mir. Dolley said:
 "The statement for September 29 ,o very pleasing, indeed. It shows a splendid gain over June 30. 1909. estimate that the people of Kansas have at least $40a000. .000 in cash work ing outside of the banks. The Kansas hanks were never in a more healthy condition than they are today. This very strong increase is shown at a lime when only a small part of the 1909 wheat crop and other agricultural products have been marketed. Busi- ness conditions are excellent with a very bright future.
 "No state can show more healthy and absolutely sound banking condi- lions than Kansas, as shown by this report. Again repeat. There is nothing on earth the matter with Kan sas or the Kansas people,"
 The loans of state banks now reach s75,OO0 GOO. an increase of s3,000, 900 since June 30, and an increase of S17,- ooO,0O0 over last year. The total cash in state banks now is $35, 5,971, ,S46.0S, an
 Increase of s4,000,000 since June 30. and of s. .000,0 in the last year. The reserve tis 37 per cent, as against 36 per cent in June. The Sly state banks have s2,S39.641.91 invested in build ings furniture and fixtures.
 The total resources of the banks amount to sl21.749.903. The capital stock aggregates s15,s10.0Co and the surplus fund aggregates s4.95T.936 and the profits reach s2.9SS.66S. Of the deposits. s70,Sil,769 is individual de- posits. s3.541, ,321 is country and state deposits, s3.255,4l4 Is bank and bank CTS deposits, $2,873.176 Is demand cer- iihcates. sf5.Si6,417 is time certif- rates and s39S.79o is certified checks -

OXFORD PROTESTS
AGAINST RELEASE
Citizens of North Mississippi Town Do
Not Want Whit Owens Released
From Penitentiary.

JACKSON, September 3.-Advices
FROM Oxford state that a storm of
protest will be made by the citizens
of Lafayette county in case the prison
board of control recommends a pardon
for Whit Owens on the ground of mer.
itorious conduct.
Owens is the convict who prevented
the escape Of Dan Maybee, fellow pris-
oner, at the Rankin state farm Tues
day afternoon. He is serving a life
term for killing a negro in Lafayette
county, but he is best known for his
participation in the celebrated tragedy
in Pontotoc county about ten years
ago, when the two Montgomery boys
deputy United States marshals, were
murdered and their bodies burned by
Will Mathis and Orlando Lester, the
former being a son-in-law of Owens.
It was impossible to prove the par
ticipation of Owens in that memorable
tragedy to the satisfaction of the su
preme court, but it was very eviden
| case of the old Scotch verdict, guilt,
but not proven" and the citizens o
Lafayette county have not forgotten
the tragedy, nor are they willing tina
Owens should be restored to libert,
merely because he frustrated the plan
of fellow prisoner who was maxim,
a dash for liberty, nor can they regar,
that action as sufficient justification
for his release.
In event the board of trustees ser
iously contemplates a recommendation
of clemency for Owens the citizens 0
Lafayette county will ask that the az
ton be deferred until they can sen
down petition of protest. The priso
board meets next Tuesday, when tn
matter will probably be considered
