Neutrality-suspicious. Nebraska finan-

ence held at the treasury department
Friday between western bankers and
Assistant Secretary Williams, in
which the proposition OF having gov.
ernment funds deposited in widely
scattered banks to prevent a possible
stringency at crop moving time was
discussed. They were 8. X. Warrick
Of Scottsbluff. J. d. Richards and A.
II. Davis OF Omaha and J. G. French
Of South Omaha. In general salts.
faction was expressed over the plan OF
the department to aid the banks. It
is expected that about $1,000.000 will
be placed in Nebraska banks when
the apportionment Is made, which will
not be for week or ten days. The
one criticism on which the greatest
stress was laid was the absolute con-
dition laid down by Assistant Secre.
tary Williams that 10 per cent OF the
securities to be furnished by the banks
must be government bonds. This Is
regarded by many OF the bankers who
attended the conference as a scheme
on the part OF the treasury to bring up
the price OF bonds. which they allege
have been deprecated by the manipu.
1ation OF New York banks.
