AT The CAPITAL.
Guaranty Question Agitated at
Washington.
Claimed That National Banks
Demand Action.
AT A DISADVANTAGE
Mr.. Joyce of New York Dis
cusses Situation.
Probable There Will Be Some
Concerted Action.

Washington, May 26.-That the
proposition to have surety COM
panies guarantee the deposits of ma
tional banks in Kansas. Oklahoma,
Texas and Nebraska in order to meet
the situation presented by the state
guarantee law there. and the refusal
of the government to permit its ma
tional banks to take advantage of
that plan is to be brought to a
speedy conclusion. became known to-
day.
The national banks in the states
mentioned are suffering loss because
the state banks are making heavy
inroads into their business and they
have notified the surety companies
committee in New York that prompt
action is absolutely necessary.
AS a result. the surety companies
of New York, including nearly all of
the big concerns. with a combined
capital of $4O,000,000, have under
consideration, according to William
B. Joyce, president of the National
Surety company of New York. who is
one of the committee working on the
plan a proposition to overcome the
disadvantage the national banks are
laboring under.
''The national banks in the states
Texas" said Mr.. Joyce today, ARE
placed at a very serious disadvantage
by reason of the competition of the
state banks. who are in a position to
offer the states guarantee of all de-
posts. The representatives of the
various surety companies operating
in the states affected have had
brought to their attention the I'M
fortunate predicament of such ma
tional banks, and many of the COM
pany managers feel it is their duty to
the bankers from whom they re-
ceive a large volume of business to
lend their assistance to offset the
odds under which the bankers are
working: providing the surety com
panies feel that they can handle the
situation without exposing them
selves to any extra hazard.
"It will be remembered that dur
ing October, 1907, many of the surety
companies were required to pay out
large sums of money. the National
Surety company alone having paid
out over 100000. every dollar of
which, however. has been recovered,
with interest.
"I am the chairman of the commit
tee to whom the matter is referred. The
committee has not as yet been able to
form any concrete plan or proposition,
but we expected to take up the matter
at an early date, and if it be possible
for US to do so, we shall afford relief
to such national banks wherever it can
be done with safety to ourselves"

THE PLUMMfRyILLE
 WELL ABANDONED
After Spending S1O.OOO Promoters of Gas Industry Give np in Disgust Tools in the Way.

Little Rock, Ark. May 2l.-Aban- doning all hope of ever getting the string of tools out of the way so the we'll could be sunk deeper, the pro- vile have quit work upon the 2,9!S foot hole in disgust Fully S1O.OOO has been spent in prospecting there and when the we'll was nearing the place where the drillers expected to find ready flow of gas, troubles be- gan to come, and the old set of tools got in the way and all efforts to fish them out failed and the drill would not pass them, so the we'll must be abandoned. When about 1000 feet down small flow of gas was struck and it has since grown stronger. 50 the we'll will probably be shot as q last hope, and this may produce enough gas to generate steam to op- crate the drill for the new well which is to be started within short dis tance of the old one. Col. John B. Jones. who is one of the leaders in the company, stated yesterday after noon his faith in the gas proposition was as firm as ever and he was will ing to invest his last dollar in sink ng holes in Conway county looking for the natural fuel. as he is confident it is there. The rig will be moved from the old we'll at once and the drill started to pounding on the new hole. Precautions will this time be taken to see there is no repetition of the troubles of the first we'll. The trouble there started when the old rope cable broke just as the drill had reached its end. New steel cables have been secured for the new well and the drillers know enough about the differ ent strata now to prevent the hole becoming crooked, and they will also know where and when to begin put ting in the casing and how it should be put in
