N. d. DEPUTY BANK
EXAMINER LET OUT
P. E. Halldorson, Investigator of the
Scandinavian American Institu-
ton, is Released.

Fargo, N. D., Oct. PIP. E. Hall
dorson, the deputy bank examiner on
whose report the Scandinavian-Ameri-
can bank of Fargo was ordered closed
by the state banking board, was dis
missed by o. E. Lofthus, state bank
examiner, yesterday. Lofthus made
public letter addressed to Halldor-
son, terminating the latter's service
with the department, asserting that
Halldorson had been "all together
too willing a tool Of those who crimi-
nally attempted to wreck the bank"
0. E. Engemoen, the other deputy ex-
aminer, who signed the report, later
repudiated part Of the report.
Halldorson has been deputy bank
examiner about eight years. He was
the examiner who reported irregular
tiles in the Valley City bank deal
which cost the promoters of the pro-
ject about $4,000 Of the profit they
had taken in the transaction.
The campaign for increasing the
banks capital stock and surplus by
100000, originally scheduled to be
put over at the league rally in Fargo
last Tuesday, but which it later was
indicated would require at least two
weeks, is not now expected to materi-
alize in less than. two months.
On the first day the bank was open
ed, it was announced that $45,O00 in
new deposits were received.

folded their victim, and the car sped
off in the direction of the bank Mr..
Schoenrock, who was placed in the
front seat, managed to free himself,
and selling the steering wheel of the
car, went crashing into the curbing.
The shock caused his captors to mo-
mentarily release their grasp upon
him, and he took advantage of the OPP
portunity to throw himself from the
machine. The bandits righted the car,
and drove on. Mr.. Schoenrock escap-
ed injuries.
Mr.. Schoenrock made affidavit at
Sanish Monday positively identifying
the driver of the car as William
Knight, said to be under bonds there
to answer to the charge of bootleg
ging on the Indian reservation.

known to Mr.. Schoenrock.
Mr.. Schoenrock Immediately organ
lied posse of citizens, which went

any of the alleged irregularities.

republican, Kansas, told the house
postofice committee yesterday in urg'
ing favorable action on the bill to
limit to "a pages daily newspapers
and periodicals using the second-elass
mail privilege.
This present acute paper shortage,
he said, is due to the large size Of
the big city dallies and some maya

added, could eliminate SO or more

Replying to Chairman Steenerson,
Representative Anthony said he had
heard that some advertisers had
greatly increased their expenditures
for advertising to avoid payment of

organization should work guardedly
and give every question careful con.

Several delegates expressed fear
that the proposed visit to Congress
might be construed as having partisan
political significance, but Franklin

planned that the chief purpose of the
visit was ito explain to members of
Congress the needs in legislation for
