WASHINGTON, June 30-Secretary McAdoo, of the Treasury department, today notified 700 national banks that the government was willing to again help the banks with funds in order that the crops might be moved to market. The Treasury department will rediscount the loans made by the banks to the farmers as fast as the money is needed. "''' i"s' %: '@@'
 It was expected that the reserve banks would be organized in time for the movement of the crops, but some delay has occurred in perfect ing the organization so that the gov ernment will again aid the western banks to handle the harvests.

Former Assistant Secretary of State Loomis Says Colombia Treaty Was

SAN FRANCISCO. June 30.-Form- CT Assistant Secretary of State Loo mis today called the Bryan Colombia treaty a stupendous blunder and charged that it had been promoted by lobbyists, one of whom, a Washing ton international law attorney, ex- poets to receive a fee of $1,000,0O0 if the treaty is passed and the Un- ited States pays to Colombia the $25,- OOO,ooO. which Secretary Bryan has agreed to do.
 The charge caused sensation and it is almost certain that because of the prominence of Loomis, his form CT connection with the State depart ment and his charge that the treaty was promoted by lobbyists that the Senate will order an investigation and force him to prove the asser- tion.
 Secretary Bryan refused to make any comment upon the interview, but is known to be very indignant be- cause of the charges. ''' - '

 SEWARD MINE
Otto Hansen Appointed Receiver of Skeen-Lechner Mine By Judge
 Brown-Labor Claims Be Paid

One of the most promising gold quartz properties on Kenai peninsula is in financial difficulties. The Skeen Lechner Mining Company is defend ant in a suit pending in the district court and a receiver has been ap- pointed. MT. Otto R. Hansen, a cap italist of large financial resources and holding mortgage of 5000 against the property of the company, was, on an ex parte showing, appointed receiver by Judge F. M. Brown.
 There are many claims of labor against the property. the Bank of Seward, Brown & Hawkins, H. V. Ho- ben and S. o. Morford are said to be heavily interested in the property, having advanced moneys from time to time in an effort to put the mine on a paying basis. Many of the la borers have in the past been paid for their services in stock of the con- pany, evidently now with but little, if any" value. ''' ''' '''
 Senator Ray has two suits pend ing against the company for laborers' liens and also a damage suit to re- cover damages for the total blindness of Alfred Carlson, who was injured by a missed fire hole at the mine last fall The property Is considered good and but tor thu action now talk : en might have been able to pay labor claims in full. Under the new lien law, as passed by the last legisla- ture. unless the mortgagee posts no- tices upon the property of such fact, the leins of laborers come in ahead of the mortgage.
 In the Skeen-Lechner matter MT. Hansen, it is stated, failed to comply with the new law and the labor claims will be paid before the mortgage can be satished = ,
 Many Seward people are hard hit by this failure and of some thirty of the laborers now discharged most of them have been working the past few months have no money with which to buy family necessities. as the company has paid but little in wages since last fall.
 Probably some $25,O0O has been re- covered. but it is stated the costs of minms and milling was prohibitive
