PAY DEPOSITORS
FROM GUARANTY
'LAHoMA'S STATE BANK GUAR.
ANTY BROUGHT TO TEST.
CLAIM STATE PANIC is AVERTED
400 Depositors in Columbia Bank and
Trust Company Were Paid Out of
State Fund-other Banks Would
Have Been Affected.

Oklahoma City, Okla, Sept. 30
With a supply of money received from
the state guaranty fund, supplemented
by the cash on hand in the bank, State
Bank Commissioner Young paid about
400 depositors of the Columbia Bank
and Trust company, which suspended.
No excitement prevailed, the people
apparently trusting the states guar
anty.
The report started that n number of
state banks would resist an assess
ment by the state to protect the Co
lumbia company depositors was dis
PEELED when the officials announced
they had been assured of the support
of the state bankers.
Interest throughout the state was
intense. The Columbia company was
the reserve for perhaps $50 other state
banks and had on deposit $1,300000 of
their deposits. The failure of the ap-
plication of the guaranty law would
mean ruin to many of these and finan-
cial panic. Mr. Taylor later announc-
ed that the state had on deposit with
the Columbia Bank and Trust COM
pany $490,359, which is protected by
approved securities valued at $5O0,000,
consisting of state, county and district
warrants and bonds, security company
bonds and other collateral.
The state school land commission
has on deposit 100000, which is pro-
tected by approved securities valued
at $19S,000. On June l, the bank had
$5,512 of the bank guaranty fund
which was protected by securities val
ued at $4,000.

smashing of every existing American
record for automobile racing on the
open road and spill which cost the

WHITNEY MAKES STATEMENT
Tells Why He Did Not Go Back to
Etah for Cooks Possessions.

New York, Sept. 30-The following
dispatch has been received by the
Associated Press from Harry Whitney
the New Haven hunter who arrived al
st. Johns N. F., by the schooner
Jeanne on its way home:
"Stevensville Crossing, N. F., Sept
$50 many questions are being ask
ed of me by different papers that |
desire to make the following state
ment through the Associated Press:
"My reason for not going back to
Etah after DR.. Cooks things was that
the engines of the jeanne, one of the
smallest boats that ever went to the
arctic, were not working satisfactory
and we were depending partly on sails,
which later we had to do entirely.
There was no reason why the Jeanne
could not have gone back, but not
knowing that DR.. Cooks things left
with me were of such importance as
they have since turned out to be, did
not return.
I'm addition, | had promised the Es-
KINDS who were with me after
musk oxen in Ellsmoreland certain
things which | expected on the ship
coming for me but they were not
aboard the Jeanne and did not want
to return and disappoint the men. An.
other reason was that | wanted to pro-
t,i, T.,
to do so by not going back, but by
cutting across the sound from North
Star bay and following the edge of
the ice south.
Il do not believe either DR.. Cook or
Commander Peary, if placed in my
position, would have done any differ
emily than I did, nor would they when
started south for civilization, have
turned back"
81 never had seen Dr. Cook until
met him in the arctics. He told me
he had been to the north pole and
was pledged not to reveal this fact to
Commander Peary, but could say
that he had gone further north than
Peary in 1906.
Commander Peary, to my knowl-
edge, knew absolutely nothing about
what had been left with me by DR..
Cook, except that / mentioned instru.
ments, clothes and furs and also
narwhal horn. DIR. Cooks belongings
left in my charge were placed in boxes
which were nailed up. Then saw the
Eskimos cover them with rocks.
mo one could have been kinder to
me or shown me more consideration
than Commander Peary did when
was on the Roosevelt. He said he
would be very glad to have me remain
aboard and return with him, instead of
joining the jeanne"

Slashed bv Disc.

Sioux Falls, S. D., Sept. 3O.-As the
result of an accident while driving a
disc, Roy Hawks, the young son of a
homesteader living near Owanka, had
a remarkably narrow escape from be,
ing torn to pieces by the blades of the
disc. While riding on the disc, which
was being drawn by horses, he lost
his balance and fell to the ground di.
rectly in front of the wheels and disc
blades. The fact that the ground was
soft was all that saved him from be.
ing crushed to death. When persons
nearby rushed to his assistance it was
found necessary to lift the disc bodily
from the ground in order to release
him from his position under the heavy
machine.

TanaIed In Horse Rome.

Sioux Falls, S. D., Sept, 3O.-If you
are leading horse behind a buggy.
do not let the rope attached to the led
animal become entangled about your
feet. This is what happened to Will
lam Moore, son of David Moore, Unit
ed States commissioner at Midland,
and as the result of his peculiar acct
dent he was badly injured. The horse
which was being led by him became
frightened and dashed away, dragging
the rope attached to it from the buggy.
The rope became entangled about the
legs of young Moore and he was un.
tremendously dragged from the We
hicle and thrown to the ground with
such violence that he was seriously IN
jured. Had he not been able to stop
the horse by strenuous efforts, he
would have been dragged to death.

TO TEST DIVORCE LAW.
Claimed That It Is Glass Legislation
and, Therefore, Unconstitutional.

Claimed That It Is Class Legislation
and, Therefore, Unconstitutional.
Sioux Falls, S. D., Sept. 30.-The
state divorce law may have to prove
its constitutionality in the near future,
as a result of divorce proceeding
brought before Judge Jones.
The plaintiff in the action is a wom-
an prisoner in the state penitentiary,
and had not lived in Mnnehaha coun-
ty more than three months before
bringing her action. Involuntary resi-
dence in the penitentiary does not
count in the eyes of the law.
The consequence was that Attorney
General Clark, who represents the
woman's husband, demanded that a
change of venue be taken to the coun-
ty in which the woman had formerly
resided. Judge Jones, accordingly. dis
missed the action for want of jurisdic-
ton.
The contention of Sam Wright the
attorney for the plaintiff in the case,
is that the divorce law Of 1907,
which was submitted under the refer
endum of 1908, is class legislation. and
therefore violates the fourteenth
amendment to the federal constitution.
and of section IS, article G. of the state
constitution, which reads as follows:
mo law shall be passed granting
any citizen or class of citizens or cor
poration, privileges or immunities
which upon the same terms shall not
equally belong to all citizens and cor
porations."
There is now case pending on ap-
peal in the supreme court of South
Dakota, which challenges the constitu-
tionality of the present divorce law,
but Sam Wright stated yesterday that
appellate proceedings were usually
slow and the suggested procedure in
the case now being pushed by him,
would probably result IN an earlier de.
termination than would come through
the case now pending on appeal.
The divorce case referred to may be
made a test case.

Albion Neb., Sept. 30.-Special to

heard an automobile approaching, and
turning saw his load in flames. He
had gasoline stove, with some gaso-
line in it, and cannot account for fire
starting other than it was spark
from his pipe.

Year-Attempts to Get Truce purinu
Festival Meets with Failure.

Omaha, Sept 3O.--All efforts to
bring about settlement of the street
car employees strike by arbitration
have so far been ineffective. Last
evening fifty business men of the city
called upon President Wattles of the
street railway company and urged him
to agree to some plan of arbitration
representing to him that the present
situation is injuring business. Moth
ing came from the conference.
A statement by the management of
the Ak-Sar-Ben festival which opened
yesterday, shows that the attendance
was 45 per cent less than on the
opening day year ago. This Is re-
garded as wholly due to the street
car strike.
Last night a riot call came from
the Ames avenue car barn A sheriff's
posse was sent in answer. 1t was
found that the crew of a car had re-
fused to carry load of residents of
the suburb home after collecting their
fares. The passengers drove the crew
off and ran the car home themselves.
The car men walked back to the
barn and ent in the riot call
1t is reported that the crew Of
Dundee car used similar tactics and
succeeded in collecting a second fare
from the passengers.
