OUR NEW WBANkLAW'
MEETS APPROVAL |

Governor as chairman of the Board
! The Governor in his selection OF this
Board exhibited rare judgment, the
! members being: Hon. J. w. Adams,
former Governor of this State; Hon.
S. w. Belford. Il prominent Attorney;
Hon. A. B. Witcher, banker, and Hon.
Chas. S. Sprague, a successful news
paper man.
The Board on taking charge of tae
banking affairs of this state found
some of the banks in not the very
best of condition, and the object of
the Board has consistently been to
built up the banks in the most eN-
peditious manner. The result has
been very gratifying, as there has
only been two failures this year, be-
ing banks affiliated with each other,
and within three weeks after the
falure OF one OF the banks, the same
was liquitated and depOsitors paid ID
full. This was made possible, as the
Act of 1909 vests the necessary pow
ers in the Banking Board. The 9TH
er bank matter is pending at TINS
writing. but the board expects to hq-
uidate it also. and in the same man
ner.
Under this law now sovernin,:

Board having the authority to take
control of conditions when necessary

fc authority existing, and unloh

RENO IN ARMS

The failure of Golfers Weekly to
put Reno On the map of the Pacific
Coast has caused great excitement in
the Riverside town. There is talk OF
calling a mass meeting and have the
publication sued for libel. The orig
inal idea was to have the Reno law
yers contribute their services gratis.
The attorneys, however, decided to al
low the insult to pass unnoticed
rather than do that.
All citizens of Reno who take Cos
liers have been called upon to stop
the sheet at once and were about to
do so when a rumOr that the next
issue would contain seven columns
relating to the divorce colony with
picture OF Evelyn Thaw on the first
page, and the storm of indignation
became thing of the past.

While in childish accents | hear 1t

And when I'm old and cannot see

All of the children one by one,
Would after mother these sweet

And now at night | still hear the

From childish lips all nestled around,
My mothers knee and these words

terstate commerce and that the
state law was OF no effect as far as
they were concerned.
The matter was then turned over to
the Attorney General by the Railroad
Commission for further advice as to
what procedure to take to enforce
the statue. The Attorney General
went into the matter thoroughly and
decided that the law was constitu-
tional and should be enforced and is
now engaged in preparing a com
plant that will be fled in WashOe
county. A warrant will probably be
issued on the complaint and served
on one of the executive officers of the
railroad company and the case
threshed out in court.
The contention of the state is that
TIE Southern Pacific has violated a
police regulation and that the regu
latiOn conflicts in no manner with
any United States law or Interstate
Commerce ruling and to support this
contention the Attorney General has
secured recent decisions from the Su-
preme Court of Indiana and Arkan-
sas upholding the conStitutiOnality of
the Full Crew law which has been
by those states.

PACIFIC
MUST OBEY LAW

Attorney General Stoddard is pre-
pairing the complaint on behalf of the
State in the suit that will shortly be
instituted against the Southern Pa
citic Company by the State of Ne,
vada for an alleged violation of the
Full Grew" law.
The Railroad Commission has been
cOgnizant of the fact that this law
has been violated by the Southern
Pacific Company for some time past
and a short time ago started an in
vestigation which resulted in the dis
covery that the law had been entire
ly ignored by the railroad people.
After the officials of the Railroad
Commission had positive evidence of
specific violation of the law they no.
titled the Southern Pacific that trains
running through this state would
nave to be manned by full crews as
required by the state law or prose-
cutiOn would follow. The matter was
referred by the S. P. company to its
attorneys and they addressed a po-
requesting them to forget it. The

SWIMMING PROMOTERS
FIX DIVING RULES
Conditions for High Exhibition Feats
Are Named by Officials of the
Southern California SWIM
ming Association

The promoters of the Southern Cali
fornia Swimming association have COM
pleted the rules for the high diving
competition which will be held at Ven
ice during the Elks week. The take
off for fancy diving shall consist of two
heights, namely, the 20 and 40 feet dis
tances.
There will be five regulation dives.
as follows: Plain back, front Jack
knife, back jack knife, corkscrew and
one and a half 40-foot take-off. In the
front jack-knife dive the contestant
must strike the water six feet In front
of a straight line drawn from the edge
of the take-off. This same rule applies
inversely to the back jack-knife.
All dives must be head first. and in
the special dives performance In
which the contestant first enters the
water must be recognized. There shall
be three judges of the diving events,
who shall keep individual scores ana
shall not be allowed to consult togeth-
err. The maximum number of points to
be awarded for the separate dives VIII
be as follows: Plain front and back
dive, from the 20-foot board, ten points;
front and back jack-knife, from the
same point, the same number of cred
IT'S. one and one-half. from the 20-foot
ten pOlHlS, anu tiiS SPSNIoA
dives from the 40-foot plank the candi-
dates will be awarded fifteen points.
Considerable discussion has been
aroused during the last few weeks
among the junior high divers, owing to
the fact that they will be compelled to
compete among older and more expert
enced men, which they contend is not
fair, and that special event should
be held in this department so as to
show the public what they can do In
their class. 1t has been the custom OF
the swimming promoters to award the
winners ribbons for diving honors, but
the candidates say that they should be
awarded something more substantial
than a common ribbon. They desire
either a bronze or silver medal, espe-
cially when it is championship event.
One of the junior swimmers in speak
ing of the ribbon proposition yesterday
said: "I think that the promoters are
making enough out of the gate receipts
to give VS. suitable prizes In the varf-
Gus events in which we participate, and
Furthermore it is an unpleasant matter
TO take chances of diving from such a
nigh place and receive only common
ribbon"
Les Henry, when asked regarding this
complaint, said: eff these junior swim
mers do not desire to compete in any
OF these events they can stay out of the
game. That is all | have to say regard
ing the matter"
