bank guaranty law received a knock
out blow from Judge Pollock of the

FRANK y. Larabee, a stakeholder in the
Exchange State bank Of Hutchinson

ing commissioner. His contention was
that a stockholder in a state bank
could object and prevent the partici-
patton of his bank in the guaranty
law. Judge Pollock held that this
contention was good and granted an
injunction.
The other case was that Of the Abb
lene National bank against the bank
commissioner and state treasurer on
is unconstitutional Judge Pollock
granted a temporary injunction in this
case, holding that the law was inOper-
alive and fixed a bond of $4,000 to
be given by the bank pending the
final disposition OF the case.
Attorney General Jackson refused to
discuss the decision, but A. Mitchell
of Lawrence, who is associated with
him in the case, said:
The guaranty law has not been
killed past resurrection. The state will
continue TO fight this question"
Bank Commissioner DOlley refused
to discuss the decision.

II. Quincy, author of the guaranty law,

pealed. Tt is a fight between the bank
ers and the people. If the law is

backward and onward through the in

baskets were packed with the proper

Captain n. w. Edison and his daugh-

From year to year the Volunteers
keep a record Of those to whom they
give Christmas dinners, and, by adding
new names and referring to Old, they
have a complete list of names and ad-
dresses. Postal card notices are sent
to each family in distress or want, and
these cards are turned in at the Volun-
teers' home so there win be no duplica-
ton
When the first one to seek Christmas
dinner arrived yesterday morning there
were piles of baskets all ready for dis
tributi0n and the force Of workers were
arranging more.
The stream kept going I'm and out Of
the doors all day and until late into the
night. Captain Edison says he gave
away $50 baskets, and it is calculated
that the average of five persons to each
dinner applies here. That would mean
that between I 500 and 1000 persons viii
