lahoma Bankers association declared
this morning.
I Three insurance companies have can
celled all bank insurance policies held

or peace officer or banker could give
even rough estimate Of losses sus-
tained in the past twelve months on ac-
count of raids on banks

making the penalty for bank robbing
more severe He did not recommend

No Rate Reduction Soon.
There is no immediate likelihood OF
insurance companies renewing bank
robbery insurance business in Oklahoma

apprehension of alleged robbers in the
opinion Of c. X. Boardman. secretary
OF the State Bankers association.
Time will have to determine thi,
question" he said this morning. II, re-
mains to be seen whether there will b,
