CRIME FOR WHICH TWO OTHER

He Robbed Menlo Ca Postofce and That Men Paying His
Penalty Are Innocent

was brought before the court Monday
morning and there confessed to having
robbed the Menlo, Ca. postoff1ce, which
was done last August, adding that Clyde
and Langford, who were tried and SEN
fenced for this deed, are innocent.
He throws no light upon the Waleska
robbery, but stoutly insists that Langford
and Clyde are innocent.
The court listened with interest to his
story but no action will be taken. Evil
dence against him for having committed
the Waleska deed seems too strong to the
court and it is stated that his confession
will not affect the sentences in each case.

SCIENTISTS REUSED BY SPEAKER
Declare Spirit of Christian Charity
should Aetnnte All.

Members Of the First Church Of Christ,
Scientist, of Council Bluffs were consider
ably wrought up yesterday over the attack
made Friday night by +. w. Peabody.
the Boston attorney, on their church. John
l.. Kendall Of Des Moines. publication com
mittee for the state of Iowa OF the Chris
tian Science church, who came to Council
Bluffs to hear MIR. Peabody, said yester-
day on behalf Of the church here:
The action Of the Ministerial association
In Importing Attorney Peabody to lecture
against Christian Science manifests a lack
of tolerance and Christian charity which
Is remarkably Inconsistent with the pre-
sumed ~broadness, liberality and good will
to all that should be manifested by a body
of men supposed to represent " nat is good
in religious ~endeavor. II is recorded in the
Book of Acts that a certain wise doctor
of the law" Gamaliel by name, under
the apostles, Peter and John: Refrain
from these men, and let them alone; for
II this counse or this work be of men Il
will come to naught, but If It be of God
We cannot overthrow It; lest happily We
be found even to fight against God"
1t is the desire OF every Christian Scien-
list that an era Of such broad charity and
love will dawn that will make It impossible
/ that anyone should be allowed to publicly
condemn and villify the religious teachings
held to by any body OF intelligent citizens
Public opinion is gradually being aroused
to that point where It demands fair play
and a just judgment concerning all things,
There is but one basis of Judgment. that
voiced by Jesus Christ when He said
by their fruits shall We know them, 81
and on this basis Christian Scientists are
more than willing to be judged.

In his speech at the state capitol, Presi-
dent Taft said:
My friends, I am not inspired to say
much today, because 1 feel so much more
than l can say. There is something about
South Carolina and it's traditions as 1 look
into the faces OF its great men and think
what 1t has done and the part it has played
in all the great historic crises OF this coun-
try, that makes me a k this reception from
you with a feeling that l am honored far
beyond my deserts.
II count it a great privilege to come here,
representing the nation that you love SO
well, and by this meeting and by your
reception and by what 1 see to testify To
the fact, that while the past is as 1t is,
and while those things come out that make
us proud Of both sides, there is before us
the future of a united life in UNFOLDING the
country, in elevating the standard OF clti-
zenship, in making greater the character
and the equality OF opportunity of the in
dlvidual that we are glad to seize as a
united people, not separated in any way by
our past history, but more united because
we have those traditions that memory
leaves in our mind the awfulness of the
! separation that is now forever ended.
"And now, my friends, / am going to
stop. This is the 251st speech l have made,
but in no one Of them have l felt so much
satisfaction in expressing the truth as ]
know it."

troversy with those in charge of the

assessment for so. Senator T1lmaH said

If the law is continued in force, the state
bankers, as evidenced by the recent reso-
lutions adopted at Tulsa. will demand that
either the banking board, consisting OF the
governor, treasurer, lieutenant governor,
auditor and president Of the Board of
Agriculture, be abolished and the super
visiSn Of the guaranty fund turned ever
to the bank commissioner, or that the
board be reorganized and the state bankers
be permitted to name at least two members
Of the board. They claim this is their
right, as the fund is raised by assessing
them.
Another amendment asked by the bank
ers Is that when a state bank desires to
liquidate 80 per cent OF the unusual guaranty
fund contributed by II, it shall be refunded.
This will be bitterly opposed by the ad-
ministration as the result would be
doubtless the conversion Of most Of the
large state banks into nationals. When
the Farmers State Bank at Oklahoma City
was recently converted into a national bank
TO escape the guaranty law, II forfeited
the amount it had paid into the guaranty
fund. Its assessments tOtalled $40, 900 and
under the proposed amendment 5000 would
have been returned to It,
Guaranty Law Under Suspicion.
The great weakness Of the guaranty law
now as viewed by it's friends is the small
ness OF the fund and the doubt about the
ability OF the banking board 10 collect
emergency assessments should any OF the
state bankers take the question into court.

Appeal to other Banks.

Whether there has been a material sacri-
flee Of the assets of the bank because of
the haste of the banking department in
settling with depositors cannot be ascer-
tanned. but on the night OF September %
Bank Commissioner Young made the propo-
sition to the Oklahoma City clearing house
that If it would advance $3.50, 900 that
amount would place Columbia in a solvent
condition and the bank would be permitted
to open next morning, Mr.. Young's state
ment of October 80 shows. however, that
besides levying an assessment of 100 per
cent on the $780, 600 capital stock, President
w. l. Norton of the Columbia and others
have been required to assign collateral and
properties appraised at 1858, 600 to the bank
ing board to protect the guaranty fund
against loss. showing a difference OF $780,
900 in the amount the Columbia was con-
sidered impaired by the banking depart
ment in this short time,
The quick work in turning the banks
assets has been not only through collec-
settling with deposltors by turning oyer to
them bills receivable.
Because Of the manner in which the
liquidation of the bank has been handled.
the effect the test will have on the guar
anty law in Oklahoma is uncertain. At
the present, bankers and the press, demo
cratic as we'll as republican, are bristling
with censure and less is being said about
the guaranty law itself. When the next
legislature meets it will be the most i'm
portant matter up for consideration, some
favoring it's abandonment, some, perhaps
standing pat" on the law as 1t is, but the
majority with an avalanche Of amend
ments.
