CHIEF LECTURED
TIE THREE BOYS

Yesterday, three boys with their
pockets filled with peanuts, station.
cd themselves on the city hall park
and proceeded to cover the lawn with
the shells. They were admonished by
the keepers of the park to desist, but
the boys were OF the smart set and
they advised the keeper that they had
a right 10 be on the park and that II
they desired to crack peanuts there,
they guessed they could do so.
The matter was reported to the DO
lice station and Officer Lever was dc.
tailed He arrested the boys aud took
them to the station They were rath-
er young, and, seemingly quite iuof-
seusiye boys, and the officers had no
disposition 10 deal harshly with them
Chief Browning was al tho station at
the time and he called the young men
To his ofTce, where he gave them a
lectuTing that they will not soon for.
get The boys soon became penitent
and offered to do anything within
thelr power TO right the wrong Tho
case was finally compromised By the
boys agreeing to return to the place
where they had left the peanut shells
and gather them and place them In
the garbaSe can.

KANSAS BANK LAW
WILL BE TESTED

Washington, Aug 5.-One of the
first questions on which the supreme
court Of the United States VIII pass
after il conyeneS In October will be
tho application Tor 1t to review the
litigation in the federal courts In Kan
sas over the constitutionality of the
Kansas bank depos tory guaranty law.
John Lee Webster, ex-senator Ches'
ter l. Long and several other lawyers,
representing the Abilene National
bank and others. filed the application
for a writ of certiorari in the case.
The United States circuit court for
the district OF Kansas, in an opinion
handed down by Judge Pollock ruled
that the law was unconstitutional as
being IN violation OF the fourteenth
amendment and as unlaTfully discrim-
mating against national banks and de-
stroying their efficiency. However,
the United States circuit court Of ap-
peals for the Eighth circuit reversed
the lower court and held the law TO
be constitutional.
IF our contentious are sound, and
we believe them to be-" counsel for
the national banks say in thoir brief,
the Kansas bank guaranty law Will
operate 10 despoil national banks OF
their deposits by inducing people to
believe that depositors in the state
banks are guaranteed and that de-
posltors in national banks are not. and
cannot be guaranteed.
Such process of spoilatlon win re
suit ultimately In the liquidation OF
National banks and increasing the
number OF state banks; or, We may
say, the destruction OF one and the
upbuilding of the other, as has been
demonstrated in the State OF Oklsho'
ma
"It is claimed that congress viii
never authorize the national banks to
accept the provisions OF the statute
for their reorganization as state
banks, thus procuring the benefits Of
the act, because, TO do so, would, for
all practical purposes. deprive the
federal government of control over
such banks and make said banks sub
ject 10 the control Of the state OF
Kansas. or in other words, TO all in,
tents and purposes, make them state
banks"
