DEPoSlT0Rs MAY NOT LOSE
Committee Claims Henry Banks and
c. F. siverly Must Stand Back
of Banker.

Des Moines, March 3.-Depositors
of the Bank of Kelley flied a petition
in the federal court yesterday ask
ing that a receiver be appointed to
take charge of the bank. The pc
titioners are George Holland, who
said he had deposit of $4,000, h. Q.
Sandness, with a deposit of $1,000,
and Anton Reinertson, with deposit
of s1,1S4. All are residents of KEEL
ley.
Attached to the petition is a list
of 100 depositors but the amount
each one had in the bank is not
named.
It may be that depositors in the
Bank of Kelley will not lose their
savings in the defunct institution. A
committee Of five, named by the de-
positors, has discovered a statement
issued some months ago in which
Henry Banks and C. F. Siverly are
named as partners with Penfield, the
missing president. II that is true
Banks and Siverly can be held for
the shortage and the depositors will
probably bring action against them,
so Des Moines attorney says. Banks
is the father-in-law of Penfield.

And these little hats are soft, many af
them made without a wire frame, SO
that they sit caressingly upon the hair
and conform themselves to the shape
Of the head. And a few people have
jumped to the conclusion that be-
cause hats are small, the matter Of
dressing the hair will sink into one Of
the unimportant and negligible details
of the toilette. Such conclusion is
not reached by course of reasoning.

demands well dressed coiffure: for

support of the little hat. Hair, in
pretty curls or fluffy waves. simply
must peep out from under the edges
of the hat and frame the face and
neck, otherwise the wearer will look

These small hats worn over a coli

and bobbing curls contrive to stray out,

lace, are simply enhancing. These

Board of Education viii Stand
Pat for Bowman
PROTESTS WILL NOT AVAIL
Lack Of Years and Experience Are
Alleged as Two Leading Grounds
Against Man to Succeed
MacLean.

Des Moines, March 3.-President
Trewin of the educational board said
of the agitation against Bowman's
appointment: ."
THE state board of education will
stand pat on it's appointment. That
appointment was not MADE until al
ter the most careful investigation In
to Mr.. Bowman's ability, experience,
qualifications and especially his exc
cutive ability. 1t was the unanimous
opinion Of the board, after careful
investigation, that Mr.. Bowman is
the one man in the country for the
place. He was recommended by the
best educators of the country as the
most capable unemployed educator
who could be secured for the presid-
ency of a great institution like the
Iowa State university. It is strange
that alumni who only remember him
as student, should criticise the
board for choosing a man so highly
recommended and SO well qualified.
They should remember that they
were young once and not pin the
roses of youth on him as reason
for his rejection. The board had
long interviews with him on every
important question affecting the uni
veyity and we found his Judgment
sound. He should not be condemned
without a fair trial. repeat, the
board will stand unequivocally by It's
appointment because we believe that
we have secured the best man pos
sible. He was offered the presidency
of the Rockefeller Institute, he was
second choice for president of Min
nesota university at $4,000 per year
and the Vermont university is after
him for president. There will be no
receding by the board from his cleo
tion.''
