NEARLY FIFTEEN THOUSAND
CORPORATIONS ARE KILLED

Topeka, Kans. Aug. 12.-The list of
delinquent corporations in Kansas
which are in danger of losing their
charters on August 20 for failure to
comply with the law by filing their
annual statements with the secretary
of state, has been completed. 1t num-
bers exactly 1926. The list was made
up by counties and sent to several
newspapers in each county for publi-
cation
In order to clean up the state rec
ords and enauble the corporation de-
partment to have complete list of all
active corporations, the legislature last
winter passed law to wipe out all
corporations which had been delin--
quent in filing such reports during the
past three years. The time limit is UP
August 20. Those which fail to get
their reports in by that time are de-
clared dead without further action Of
law.
Out of the list of almost $4,000 cor
porations which are delinquent in fiji
ing their annual statements, about
1000 have reported since the passage
of the law and since the efforts which
Secretary of State Sessions has made
to advise the delinquents of the fate
which awaits them if they do not re-

AMY BRIDE SATISFIED HIM
In India, When the Grooms First
Choice Baked, He Accepted
Volunteer.

The Youths Companion recounts a
story of a wedding described in DR..
Winifred Heston's "A Bluestocking in
India"
Yesterday went to native Chris
tian wedding Many guests had as
sembled and the ceremony had pro-
gressed to the point where Mr.. Grey
asked the bride:
Do you take this man to love,
cherish and obey?' when the young
woman in the case responded with a
surprising and unmistakable MOI
Mr. Grey labored with her in an
undertone, but to no avail The mar
riage had. as usual, been arranged by
the parents without consulting the
daughter. But 1t Is almost an un-
known thing for a girl to be so bold
and disobedient. The situation was
then explained to the assembled
guests, and volunteers were asked to
supply the vacancy, A young woman
promptly came forward and the cere-
mony proceeded as II nothing had
happened.
"Afterward the bridal pair left the
altar by different aisles to hold re-
ception under a tree. where congrat-
ulations and rice were poured upon
them. The groom placed silver ring
upon the great toe Of the brides left
foot, and best man tied the groom's
neck scarf to the brides flowing gar
ment, and thus they sat in state for
some hours"

gress, who are also on the commission
received no extra compensation.
Senator Burton expressed the opin-
ion, however, that the commission
should be continued because, he said,
it would not be able to make a com
plete report by next session and be-
cause of future financial questions up
on which it would be able to give val
liable advice. He said he would offer
an amendment to have a report made
January 10, next.
Senator Newlands of Nevada said
there were a number of special finan-
cial questions to report. He said there
were matters concerning the advisable
Iity of organizing associations of ma
tional banks in each state for the mu-
tual protection of bank depositors
against panics, and of bringing these
associations into a national federation
through a national banking commits
sion, with the secretary of the treas.
ury as chairman.
He said he would give this commits
sion powers of examination, correction
of evil practices and recommendation
to the president and congress and ex
pect it to perfect a cooperation with
banking commissions of the various
states. Mr.. Newlands wanted a re
port on the advisability of preventing
national banks from depositing any
portion of their reserves required by
law in other banks.

concluded whe nthe senate adjourned

Fro
:, ON MONETARY COMMISSION

Washington, D. c., Aug. 11,-Vigor-
Gus attack on the national monetary
commission, of which Former Senator
Aldrich of Rhode Island is chairman,
was made in the senate yesterday dur
ing the discussion of bill introduced
by Senator Cummins of Iowa, calling
on the commission to make its final
report to congress by December next,
after which it would be dissolved.
"The commission" Senator Cum
Minis alleged, "has become a place for
men who have lost favor with their
constituents and have been defeated
at the polls"
He charged the commission with un-
necessary extravaganza and with de-
laying a report on the result of its in
cestigations, and Senator Hepburn of
Idaho asserted that from both parti-
san and national standpoint the orig
inal appointment of the commission
was a mistake.
Senator Burton, a member of the
commission, acknowledged that the
body probably had been extravagant.
To remedy this he said he would offer
on amendment discontinuing at once
the salaries of those members of the
commission who are not in congress
This would reduce the expenses OF
the commission by $S2,500 year, as
eleven of the eighteen members OF
the commission are former members
