is closed only eioht weeks, she will
have but short visit here. The opera
season will close there on June IA. An
other matter that may delay her will
be that she cannot know till the Sat
nrday Of the week before whether she
has to sing in the closing week, or
whether she NAV have a dozen new
parts to learn during her vacation She
has had some difficulty in securing per
mission 10 come homo at all Her
friends here are extremely anxious for
number of letters from her have been
for a home concert: but in the face
of the violent opposition TO American
singers becoming again Americanized
after being taken over by Berliners,
Miss Gates may be unable to secure that
permission. Her contract reads that
she shall '|Cive no concerts in Ameri-
ca. She has been permitted to sing
in other German cities during The win
ter season, and no doubt could sing
anywhere in Europe during the sum.

PREFERS KANSAS TO TEXAS.
Gulf Coast Rice Farms do Not LOOK
Good to j. w. Kiser.

J. w. Kiser of Kinsley, Kansas,
former resident of Abilene, who mas
recently returned from trip through
Houston, Galveston, Brownsville ana
the Gulf Coast country of Texas, says
he prefers Kansas corn to Texas rice
fields.
"A northern man going down to
that country and investing in land
IA taking a great risk" Mr.. kiser
said today. "If he has plenty OF
money and lots of grit, he may sue
eeed but a poor man stands little
chance. A northern man does not
understand rice farming, as the
southerners do, and he is too am
bilious to employ any more negro
labor than he can help. Consequent
lv his health breaks down in a short
time. for the rice fields, flooded Tor

The United States bureau OF anil

bulletin on the serum treatment for
hog cholera:
A successful demonstration of the
value of the new government serum
for preventing hog cholera has Just
been concluded at South Omaha, Neb'

Mr.. Murdoch also stated that he

adjustment OF the freight charge on

ON the ground that Abilene is an

Abilene Bank Affair
Is Now in Politics

ciated with him daily in the Dank.
These men were intelligent, bright,
capable business men. The bank
clerk you speak of discovered an
100000 shortage in Is minutes;
this was done by running up the in
diyidual ledger after the leaves had
been replaced by Flack. Anyone
could have discovered the shortage
had the leaves been in the book.
"You also state that by reason OF
carelessness in this institution that
farmers, stockmen, widows, orphans
and businessmen were caused great
loss and suffering by reason Of this
failure. You again misstate the
facts. The facts are that not single
depositor Of til, Abilene State RanK
lost single penny. Through the
prompt Ell rls ! the banking depart
ment, provision was made Tor the
rayment of every depositor dollar for
dollar, for claims they had against
the bank, and the loss fell on the
directors OF the bank who were re-
suonsible for these deposits under
the law"
Bank Commissioner Dol!ey in an
interview after the failure stated that
he had been suspicious of Flark for
Euyer year but could find nothing
wrong. One story is told about the
examination has never been printed
The bank was supposed to have at
least 500 900 on hand, of Whlch

had $4,000 in Kansas City bank
and the rest in Chicago and New
York. The examiner wrote letters
to the Kansas City and other banks
to verify these statements-and gave
them to Flack to mail. OF course
| Flack destroyed them. Three weeks
afterward when the crash came the
bank commissioners office seems not
to have inquired why those letters
were not answered. Had there been
an investigation 1t would have shown
a shortage Of over $4,000 in the
cash account. If this story is corerct
lit indicates that there should have
been closer check in connection
with the investigation.
