MAY PROSECUTE OFFICIALS
OF BANCROFT STATE BANK

Bancroft, S. D., Nov. 80. - With the
arrest, at Des Moines, OF e. p. Syver-
son, while on his way to Texas, and
with e. A. Syverson. his father, prob
~, in Canada. further developments are
expected in connection with the recent
action of the officials of the state bank
Ing department taking charge of the
Bancroft State bank. The bank re-
ceived deposits up to the last minute
before h flight of The father and son.
Only a short time before their disap-
pearance and the taking charge of the
bank by the state banking department
the Syversons had published the regu-
lar quarterly statement showing the
condition of the bank. This statement
listed cash on hand of about Sc, 900. and.
including cash in banks, total cash as
sets of $14, 251. The deposits were given
at $50, 595. The bank had a capital OF
$4,000 and a surplus FUND of ST. 600, with
SS3,0T2 in loans and discounts.
f.. "A. Syverson formerly conducted
a bank at WATERFOWL. s. d. and. ac-
cording to report, sold the same some
time ago, guaranteeing all of the loans.
Later he purchased the Bancroft bank
of S. O. Eggleston. the bank being in
excellent condition. When the loans Of
the aWtertown bank, which he had
guaranteed, became due, many of them
proved to be worthless and the elder
Syverson transferred good paper from
the Bancroft bank to make good to the
purchasers of the WATERFOWL institu-
ton. replacing it with the worthless
loans.

Paris, Nov. 2S.-It is admitted by
diplomats here that a movement 10
divest the Emperor Franz josef, OIL
Austria, of the title of the king OF
Jerusalem and confer the historical
kingship on King Albert, Of Belgium, as
a reward for his great bravery IN
leading his troops under fire, is meet
ing with approval in official circles OF
France and England.
This means the robbing the Austrian
ruler Of an ~appendage that has been
possessed by emperors of Austria since
the year 1890. 1t is an honorary title
and the highest honor mark in Europe
AS an argument in favor of the pro-
posed reward it is pointed out that II
was Godfrey of Bouillon, king of Bel
GUM, who shattered the MohammedaE
rule of Jerusalem in 1899 and assumed
the crown of the holy city.
The allies D that his success
or as the most gallant crusader against
~socalled Prussian militarism is entitled
to the crown. When the allies remak
the map of Europe-if they whit Is
expected they will declare Emperor
Franz Josef unworthy of the kingship
