NEW STATE BANKING LAW.
Reduces Expense of Receiyership fot
Insolvent Institutions,

lnSoivent institutions,
There is pending before the lcgisla,
turr what is known as the Kyle bill,
which proposes to create Il banking
department of the state government,
to be Of no expense whatever to the
state, as the expense is to be paid out
Of moneys collected from the state
banks for examinations rs provided for
IN the proposed law,
Most all the states in the union
have banking departments and the
banks ARE supervised and examined
regularly, penalties being assessed
against officers or employees making
loans out of the bank funds to them
selves without the written approval of
a majority of the board of directors,
and duly recorded in the minutes OF
the board. There is also n penalty
against officers and employees overdraw.
Ing their accounts with the banks.
A law forbiddiug Officers and employees
to use these funds and providing for ex-
animation to stop this evil, it Is argued,
will not only protect NE depositors, but
viii protect the Stockholders, and, TO
say the least, is NOT an unreasonable
law.

Lodge Beats Bank

Damon Lodge of Knights of Pythias
used to be a depositor in the First
National bank. At that time it had as
one of it's officers, w. A. Rice, who
acted as secretary. 1t was part of
his official duty to correspond with
the widow of one of their members,
transmitting to her the lodges check
in payment of funeral benefits. 1t
appears that instead of the check be-
ing transmitted as drawn. Rice
changed it to his own name as payee,
an dfailed to transmit it. The lodge
contended that the bank was liable
to it for having withdrawn from it's
account money upon the presentation
of an altered check. The bank ac-
cepted that view and repaid the lodge,
which thereupon paid the widow $75
as it had intended doing in the first
instance. Later the First National
bank reimbursed itself by withdraw
ing without the consent of the lodge,
$75 from the lodge account which re-
arose suit by the lodge against the
bank, which was decided in Judge
Thrush's court last Friday in favor
of the lodge. The case brought a
host of witnesses to the court, most
OF them for the lodge.
The victory means much to the
lodge and more to it's counsel, who
was Lawyer Townsend. He was ar
rayed against the great law firm Of
Dorsey and Hughes, and won.
We are informed that the criminal
case against w. A. Rice was dis
missed just after this civil suit, and
he has gone to other fields and pas
lures new. For several months the
state permitted the case to be post
uoned, an act for which no explana-
ton has yet been given.

ANTl-LYNcHlNG SOCIETY
WIELDS WIDE INFLUENCE.
Wesk Psr Human Prstsstisn Rsesivss
Substantial Aid.

Boston.-The work and influence OF
the Anti-Lynching society, composed Of
a large number Of thrifty and intslli-
vicinity, are being felt for good in
many sections Of the country. Its
growth has been substantial and tts
work thorough. Scarcely a lynching
has taken place in any part OF the
United States without its deep concern
for the punishment of the guilty per
petrators.
The April public meeting Of the 80
city was held In Faneuil hall and was
attended by many of the leading white
and colored citizens of this community.
Among the speakers were such well
known men as the Hon. A. 10. Pills
bury, Bishop Alexander Walters OF
New York. Rev. DR.. A. Mark Harris OF
Jersey City, N. j.; the Rev. Herbert y.
johnson, Mr.. Darius Cobb, the noted
artist. and the Rev. James Foster.
That the women have the ear OF the
public in more than an ordinary sense
may be seen from the fact that in their
efforts to investigate the cause OF
lynchings in the various sections of the
country they have often received SUBJ
stantial financial assistance from =
distance. AS an encouragement in this
direction the COlored Women's Nom
partisan league of San Francisco sent
$5.35 and the William Murray lodge,
Knights OF Pythias, donated s. toward
the expense Of the meeting.
The organization has reached the
point where it has to constantly seek
legal advice in order to do the most
effective work OF Investigation. and 1t
Il hoped that our men of legal lore
will consider it a privilege to coop
crate with the officers of the soc4sty in
giving the necessary advice.
Mrs. M. Cravath Simpson. president
Of the organization, has labored as
siduously to bring the work up from
an obscure position to it's present place
of influence and usefulness. She has
had the support Of the other officers
and members who, like herself, labor
constantly for the promotion Of justice
and respect for human rights.

THE colored men in the section of

of franchise have mighty power in

remember, no matter how highly they
themselves may develop. their develop
ment. opportunities and successes are
only theirs in order to help their suf-
fering brethren and they are connect
ed by blood with the colored men
who suffer in certain sections Of our
country.
"If the Hebrews in America can
succeed in having America protect
the Hebrews in Russia, why may not
the colored men of the north so use
their political power as to cause the
statesmen of this section to ccme bod
lily out in their utterances and say.
Lynch law must go?'"
