MAKINs is RECEIVER
Commissioner Takes Action ON abb
lene State Bank.

| Attorney General Fred Jackson
Bank Commissioner DolleJ and Depu
lty Examiner Watson were In the city
to-day to meet with directors Of the
abilene State bank regarding the clos
ling up of its affairs. After a long
conference this morning 1t was an
nomced that Ed. Makins had been
appointed receiver of the bank.
Mr.. Dolley and Mr.. Watson return
ed to Topeka this afternoon. Just
before taking his train, Mr.. Dolley
said: 1.-THE depositors of the bank
are absolutely safe. In few days we
shall issue the certificates provided
for under the law. They draw six
per cent interest, and are as good as
$40 gold bonds"
Attorney General Jackson was
questioned regarding the legal status
Iof the banks affairs.
"Why is not the guaranty law in
operation in the case of the State
bank" he was asked.
ut is in operation" Mr.. Jackson
replied. However, the assets of the
bank will cover all losses, and the
guaranty fund is never drawn upon
lexcept where the assets are not suffi-
Client"
rUnder the law. Mr.. Jackson,
would the directors have been COM
PEELED to assign their personal prop
|erty'to cover the deficit if they had
not chosen to do so?"
"Well," was the answer, that of
course is a question"
ut is too late for them to have
any recourse. now that they have
given their notes?"
at looks that way to me-" Mr..
Jackson said, but of course that is
only my opinion"
Don't you think it is rather pity
with this state guaranty law in OPP
GRAFTON, that the directors sho I'd
have to submit to such a heavy per-
sonal loss?"
ri don't believe their loss will be
very heavy. The bank has good
deal of property, and l think it will
be found that the greater part of
the deficit will be covered"
Mr.. jackson left for salina this
afternoon.

put in, butt also their double liability

There never was any question about
the deposItors being paid in full
after the state bank commissioner
compelled the three principal stock
holders OF the bank to pledge all Of
their resources to that end. Why
were they compelled to sign such
an agreement BY the commissioner
when the state guarantee law gave
ample protection TO the depositors?
The enforcement OF that agreement
means that two Of the sIgners will
lose all they have and that an elderly
lady will be left with no provision for
old age. It would seem that the
commissioner was afraid to pat any
responsibility upon the guarantee
law. Some folks would Ike TO know
Why.

BOY ADMITS TRYING TO WRECK TRAIN ON
 NEW CANAAN BRANCH

Stamford, May 31.-Clarence Sco- field, thirteen years old, of the Spring dale district, of Stamford has con- fessed to Chief of Police Brennan that he attempted to wreck a New Can aan branch train of the New Haven road early on the evening of May 19, 1910. The boy said he placed two ties on the tracks near the Catholic Ceme- tery.
 ''I don't know why I did it, he said, "I happened to be riding bicycle. l saw the ties alongside the tracks and something seemed to force me to dismount and lay them across the tracks
 An inbound New Canaan express hit the ties and the front of the. mo- tor was damaged. There were thirty five passengers aboard, but none of them was hurt. Chief Brennan says the boy appears to be of abnormal mentality. He is a large, well devel- oped boy for his age. He lives with his grandfather, his parents having separated through divorce some few years ago. His father lives in West port, Conn.
 The boy has been attending school at Springdale, and his record at school has been good one. He was re- leased in bail of $500 pending hear Ing in the City Court.

DIRECT RULE OF THE
 PEOPLE MUST BE HAD
 IN THE UNITED STATES
Senator Owen of Oklahoma Says People Must Have Direct Pi naries Initiative and Referendum and Corrupt Practices
 Act That Will Prevent Use of Money in Elections

guments for and against public meas 1 ures and candidates.
 Direct primaries
 A corrupt practices act The right of the people to remove a public officer for misconduct Owen denied that purity in politics
 was an iridescent dream. Tt can be
 made a reality" he added "The
 remedy for the evils from which our National, State, and municipal govern
 ments have suffered is to restore the rule of the people-to restore the full
 powers of government to the people. ''The people are safe and sane; con- servative and sound; honest and in telligept; they would vote for the pub lie interest alone and would not vote for purely selfish private interests; they know more than their Represen- tatives do, and are less passionate and less liable to be led into either inter nal or international complications and they would be economical in govern ment."
 The Oklahoma Senator denied that at present the people really ruled and
 as evidencing it, he demanded to know
 why. if as some maintained they real
 ly were in power, there had been no
 enactment by Congress of measures
 which the people favored
 T believe in popular government, |"
 he continued, "and I believe that the people are more conservative, more sale ana sane and more nearly apt
 to do right in the long run than am bilious statesmen trusted with DOW er.".
 As further evidence that the weakness of the Senate is in disre- garding the matured will of the people, 1nStructing national reform and too greatly influenced by organized special
 interests, Owen cited the fact that 36 States had already expressed them selves favorable on the popular cleo
 ton of Senator's yet the Senate had
 not heard the voice of the people. | In conclusion, the Oklahoma Senator denounced jingoism. ''The danger of war;" he said, 'arises not from the people, but from ambit- ious leaders, anxious for activity, anx- 1OuS for service, anxious for promo tion. The dogs of war of every na- ton are anxious to fight, and commer-
 muniments of war, in furnishing ma terial for building battleships. fill the press with rumors of war when the
 naval appropriation is before Congress
 and tend to irritate nations with each other.
 'The international mischief makers, who prate too much about the exces- sive delicacies of questions of national
 honor that can only be settled by the arbftrament of war should be sternly suppressed and would be rendered
 Fowerless for harm under the rule of the people.
 .'The people of the United States to- day, if they could vote on the uues- tion of international peace. on the question of limiting the armament of
 nations, would heartily be in favor of it. The people of Germany would do the same thing. The people of Great Britain would do the same thing"
