BANK Of MIDLAND
OFFICIAL CONVICTED
w. II. CUNNINGHAM RECEIVED DE-
POSTS AFTER HE KNEW INsTI-
TUITION WAS INSOLvENT.

Fort Smith, Ark, Aug. 12.-W. H.
Cunningham of Weletka, Okla former
president of the defunct Bank of Mid
land, this county, was convicted in the
circuit court at Waldron on a charge
of receiving deposits when he knew
the institution was insolvent. He was
sentenced to serve three years in the
penitentiary.
A jury trying his brother, l. H: Gun
ningham, cashier of the bank, and also
resident of Weletka, was unable to
agree. Two additional indictments re-
main against each defendant.
The bank failed three years ago this
month, and illness on the part of the
defendants prevented an earlier trial,
Prior to the failure, yeggmen looted
the bank. This occurred a short time
after the Cunningham brothers pur
chased the institution.
Several thousand dollars tax money
of the county was on deposit in the
bank at the time of the failure.

WILSON TO CONFRONT
BIG BUSINESS PROBLEM

Washington, Aug. 12.-Despite his
bereavement, President Wilson will
plunge this week into several vast
business problems confronting his ad-
ministration.
On Thursday he will meet the new
Federal Reserve Board, Friday will be
devoted to several conferences of wide
Importance. He will consider compile
tlon of the legislative problem. Then
he will turn his hand to solution of
the problem of aid for Southern cotton
planters who are confronted with an
excess of supplies on account of closed
European factories.
Larger, however, than the other
problems will be his conference on the
merchant marine. The President will
seek through business men a method
of increasing quickly the American
merchant marine to meet the Euro
pean war crisis.
