BANK CALL is OUT.
Government Wants to Know Condition
ON September 2.

The comptroller of currency today
issued a. call for a statement as to the
condition of all national banks on
September 2 No statement from state
banks will be asked for the CORE
spending date.
Less concern is felt in Kansas as to
the bank showing at this time than at
any period in the last fifteen months.
Bankers generally feel that conditions
are but little changed over June %,
the date of the last bank report. Not
until later in the year will the re-
turns from the wheat harvest begin to
find their way to the state and nG-
tom banks. AT that time-possjbiy
in November or early December-a big
boost in bank deposits is expe cted. At
this time, however. conditions general
ly are believed to- be normal.
June %, calls for statements form
both state and national banks were
issued The state banks on mat date
reported deposits of 129 millions, or
an increase of % millions over June
80, 1914. Returns from the June ma
tional bank call have t been re-
ported from the comntroller'S office.

SPOTS THE WINDSHIELD.
Maple Trees Play Havoc With Motor
ing in Topeka.

Topeka motorists have just as much
trouble as the proverbial married
man. If it is not one thing 1t is an
other. Autoists are complaining that
they cannot keep their wind shields
clean because of some mysterious sub
stance in the air. which spots the glass
1t is thought that the flying particles
in the air come from the maple trees
that are so numerous in Topeka.
Just what they are no one seems to
know but motorists do know that
when these mysterious particles strike
a wind shield an additional glaze is
given to the glass. 1t is no uncommon
sight these days to see chauffeurs
slow down their cars, take a rag out
of the tool-box and work diligently
for a few minutes cleaning wind

Frank Schneck, convicted of the
murder of his wife and two children,
must continue as the only "hang"
prisoner at the Lansing state prison.
Mollie Stewart, his accomplice, is to-
day free woman.
At the state house there is not an
official or an employee who has the
slightest thought that Schneck will
leave the prison-at least under the
present administration. The board of
Schneck's applications for a parole
and the governors office is not in the
least disposed to take an interest in
the case of the Franklin county wife
and child murderer.
A few days ago, however, Governor
Capper sent for the two daughters of
Mollie Stewart and handed them a

the night of the triple killing. Stew

men and a women charged with traf-
Ticking in messages addressed to King
Constantine and the general staff of
the Greek army by representatives of
the belligerents on both sides in the
war has caused a sensation.
