Changes in the Kansas Laws
Are Necessary.
|SU66ES ESTI0NS TO LEGISLATURE
Special. Committee win Point
Out Needs.
Sawyer to Confer With Bank
ers' Association.

NumerOus changes In the Kansas
Banking laws to conform with pro-
visions Of the federal reserve act may
be made by the 1915 legislature. ac-
cor 5tng to a statment today by Chas.
~. Sawyer, state bank commissioner.
The question of amendments to the
state laws is now being considered by
officers of the State Bankers associa-
ton and It is probable that a commit
tee will hs appointed this summer to
suggest needed changes.
At present the reserve requirements
under the state and federal laws differ
materially and q change in the state
laws must be made to permit the state
banks to work in harmony under the
reserve act. The per cent of capital
and surplus required under the two
laws differ and minor individual diff
ferences must be adjusted before COM
pdete harmony can exist and Kansas
state banks can enjoy all Of the benefits
OF the federal law.
When the rules OF conduct for fed
eral reserve banks are promulgated in
the reserve board. IL is probable that
other necessary changes in the statutes
in Kan8as may get the full advantages
and benefits Of the law recently en-
acted by congress. These questions
will all he discussed by a committee
which will probably be named by the
bankeFs' association at an early date.
Question of Examinations.
One Of the serious questions before
the state banks participating or de-
string to participate under the re-
serve has to do with the question Of
examinations. There is now a oues-
ton as to whether examinations by
state examiners will be accepted by
the federal reserve board without
special examination and report by ma
tfOnal bank examiners. Should the
reserve board vote against acceptance
of the reports of state bank examiners
an amendment the state law would
be necessary to exempt state banks
under tho reserve act from further
examinations by the state banking de-
partment. Some of these questions
are yet undecided and are matters OF
grave Importance o the. Kansas state
bankers Only action Of the state
legislature can arrange for compfete
harmony under the state and federal
laws for state banks that desire to
participate under the r>serve act, it
Is claimed.
'It is not yet known just how many
changes may be necessary in the exist
federal reserve act harmonious among
state banks" sad Commissioner Saw
yer. 1.-The matter has been considered
by the state association. While no
definite action has yet been taken. 1t
seems probable that a committee will
be appointed to. consider the question,
study conflicting provisions In the state
and federal laws and make recon-.
mendations to the legislature" IS
1t is probable that meeting of the
officers of the State Bankers associa-
ton will be held sometime this. sum-
mer to discuss the needed changes in
the state law.

were pretty evenly matched. The Arciy
team played n good heady game Of

too much, giving their opponents the
opportunity to score through an open

their forwards played an aggressive
game. the ha1fbacks keeping them well
supplied with opportunities. On the
local team there were one or two weak
spots, but these were offset by the
strong defense which the city boys
put up. Taken all in all. It was a

K|ERST GUILTY
OF TAKING THE
HAMMAC MONEY
WAS FOUND GUILTY BY JURY OF
CARRYING CONCEALED WEAP-
oNs ALSO AND WAS RECON-
MENDED TO COURT MERCY.

Zeb. Kierst was yesterday found
guilty by a Jury in the court of record
of having stolen q big cash roll from
the boarding house Of Mrs. J. Hammac,
at 151 West Romano street, on the
evening OF January Ia. he was also
convicted Of carrying concealed weap-
ons, but in each of th4se cases he
was recommended to the mercy OF the
court.
Sentence was not passed upon him
last evening, and the court will re-
spect the recommendation Of the jury
and will probsbiy pass sentence today.
Kierst was apparently certain OF &C
quittal, and when the jury returned
the verdist as above stared, he was
visibly affected. He had nothing to
say in respect to the verdict, however,
and win offer no appeal, so far as is
known.
This was the case wherein someone
had removed the sum of sI,437 from
it's hiding place in the Hammac house,
and had hidden it in the barn, It was
thought, until more favorable oppor-
tunity offered for taking 1t away.
Kierst was shown to have been a long
time boarder at the house, and from
testimony which was allowed in the
case, was somewhat of a privileged
character about the boardn house.
One note. which was said to have been
written by him from his cell. and which
was intercepted by officers. was ad
dressed to Mrs Hamnac, and spoke in
rather endearing terms to Ter, address
ing the lady as dear heart, or some
thing to that effect.
Mrs. uammac was on hand during
the entire progress OF the trial, sitting
inside the enclosure and freely con-
sulting with the county solicitor.
The Days Business.
Arthur Wesley and Charlie Herman
DEE, negro boys, pleaded guilty to en-
tering the store of Jim John, a Greek,
on West jackson street, and stealing
some articles, representing a valuation
of about SO. There have been too
many of these robberies here during
the past few weeks" said Judge Mon
roe ''and the best way to break 1t
up is to send the ones found guilty
where they cannot commit any more"
So saying, the court sentenced the ne
groes to eighteen months each in the
state prison.
Della McGraw. upon being convicted
of an ARRAY, was fined $50 and costs,
or four months,

Bill Whigham. against whom an in
formation had been filed for assault
with intent to murder. pleaded gu lty
to aggravated assault by consent OF the
solicitor, and also pleaded guilty to
carrying concealed weapons. For the
first count he was sentenced to one
year and a fine of $3.50, or costs and
one year; for the concealed wear pom
charge he was fined $3.50 and costs or
one year. This negro shot at another
some time ago
Richard Lassiter, charged with ag-
gravated assault, was sentenced TO
serve one year and pay fine of $3.50
or the costs and one year.
The case of Zeb Kierst, charged
with grand larceny and carrying con-
cealed weapons, was the last matter
attended to during the day.
