TO TEST VIRTUE
Of BANKING LAW
SUIT BROUGHT BY WEYAUWEGA
FIRM AGAINST BANK
COMMISSIONER.
JUDGE WEBB OF SEVENTH CIR
CUT ISSUES TEMPORARY
RESTRAINING ORDER.
Madison, Sept. s.

manson, sept. 3.
Papers were served yesterday upon
Bank Commissioner NJ. c. Bergh and
Attorney General Frank l.. Gilbert in
a suit brought by the firm, Weed
Junear and company of Weyauwega, to
compel the commissioner of banking
to refrain from the enforcement of
chapter 2S5 of the laws of 1909 rela
ing to banking.
The firm of Weei-Junear and COM
pany is one of the old financial insti-
buttons of Waupaca county and is
comprised at present Of II. w. Weed,
Mary e. Potter and Ella B. Kirkwood,
copartncrs. 1t has been doing pri-
vate business, it is said, for years, put
never as a regularly organized bank
The law passed by the late legis-
lture defines banking and under the
definition the firm of Weed-Junear and
company is doing a banking business.
This it is not permitted to do under
the law unless regularly organized
as a bank. The firm had deposits Of
$250,000 and being an old Institution
objects to the interference of the law.
Judge G. M. Webb of the seventh
circuit issued temporary restraining
order forbidding the enforcement of
the law and the suit is begun to test
its constitutiopality.
The attorneys for Weed-Junear &
company are Kronshage, McGovern,
Golf Fritz & Hannah of Milwaukee
and D. B. Park of Waupaca.
1t is said by some who, are not I'M
familiar with the subject that this
suit is brought at the instigation OF
the trust companies though there is
nothing on the surface to indicate that
such is the case.

ness, and the sharp advance in special
stocks was regarded as being foster
ed to facilitate this liquidation There
was a perceptible growth OF anxiety
over the promise Of grain crops. The
excited speculation in the wheat mar
