ALLEN TO PROBE


Continued from Page One)
for his arrest and closing of the bank
had been planned several days in ad-
vance, Cashier Lefferdink left Salina
the day before the bank closed and
has not been arrested.
He Promised a Bonus.
In desperation to secure new funds
and continue his operations, Letter
dink is reported to have paid rs, 80
and even SO per cent premiums for
bank deposits for ninety days and six
months periods. An item of $4,000
was secured by Lefferdink Sunday, it
is asserted. The bank closed Tuesday
morning. In prevailing on the depos-
itor to leave his money in the bank,
Lefferdink is said to have promised a
5000 bonus. He is said to have given
further assurance by stating that in
event the bank was closed. the guar
anty fund would take care of losses.
Now the bank guaranty fund seems
due to provide for a shortage ranging
from S250,000' to 100000. ATTORNEY
General Hopkins, who is now in Sa-
lima, has intimated that arrests other
than that of the cashier may be or
dered. He has also stated that the
double liability law will be applied to
all stockholders in the bank in an eff
fort to clean up shortages.
Best Policy, Says Wilson.
Commissioner Wilson believes the
bankers of Kansas will commend the
action of the department in refusing
to hastily arrest officials of the Salina
bank and to close the institution. So
long as it was probable that Letter.
dink would make good the banks bad
paper, Wilson believes it was good
banking policy to continue to keep the
doors of the bank open. After the
losses were cleaned up, the state might
| then make arrests, he stated.
EVERY banker has suffered losses"
| said Wilson, land to the ordinary lay
/ man it would seem that the best pol
| icy was to rush in and arrest some one.
| But good banking is getting the money
/ back. 1t looked as tho Eefferdink and
1 Broker would get the money. A
| Wichita trust company had placed an
estimated value of $1,400.000 on their
ranch properties. w. S McClintock
attorney for Broker, is confident the
money will yet be provided to make
| good the paper in the bank"
Cashier After Money.
Wilson is also confident that LET
ferdink will be arrested in a few days
He also believes the bank cashier is
worthless paper.
| IF Lefferdink gets the money, the
| bank and the guaranty fund will be
ahead" Wilson said. But Lefferdink

WORLD NEWS SUMMARY
Associated Press Review of Peace
Table Developments, and of Po-
IiticaI and Military Situation.

With a plenary session of the peace con-
ference for reading the Austrian peace
terms set for this afternoon efforts were
continued during the forenoon to bring
the Italian Jugo Slav dispute the
Adriatic question to final adjustment.
The Jugo Slays. however are said to be
setting up obstacles, proving for the pre-
sent at least more unyielding than the
Italians. Meanwhile there has been no indi-
cation of what action the allied conferees
propose taking in regard to the counter
proposals to the peace terms presented
by Germany. 1t has been pointed out, how
ever, that the greater part of the German
objections have been answered in advance
of the formal presentation of the counter
proposals.
Military developments in the information
al situation include a reported Polish re-
verse in Volhynia, the Russian Bolsheviki
claiming to have driven the Poles from
Rovno. This is the only sector however,
where the Bolsheviki are claiming any
gains of note.
Another development has been in Asia
Minor, where the process of taking control
of the coast from the Turks is continuing.
In this process the Greeks have landed new
forces at Avail, northwest of Smyrna, at
which latter port allied forces were disem-
parked &Ho weeks ago.

Crowds Lined Streets To Greet
353rd Heroes.
PARADES WERE BOTH LATE

Old Heroes of Civil War Gave
Way to Hun COnquerOrs.

The states greatest Memorial Day
that's how Friday will go down in
the history of Kansas. Topeka, per-
haps tired out the day after the day
before" at least has ample reason to
congratulate herself on becoming the
reception hall at which all Kansas
gathered for the welcome of the $3.50
Infantry "All-kansas" regiment Fri
day. She has reason to feel proud
that she was the shrine at which
state paid homage and honer to the
heroes who gave up their lives for the
great commonwealth of which it is an
Integral part and the heroes who re-
turned from overseas Friday after
noon.

the Republic, to whom Memorial Day
has belonged" for half a century.
Friday gave way with a will to the
returned conquerors of Germany
Altho In the morning they decorated
the graves of their comrades who
have gone before them. the old heroes
cancelled their evening program and
spent the afternoon in greeting and
honorinE the new heroes who have
Fought to defend the ideals of Union
which the Civil war veterans pre-
served with their blood.
The crowd that lined the streets to
welcome the famous 353rd was large
and enthusiastic and numbered many
out of-town persons who had assem-
bled here for the occasion. Happiness
and pride cleaned in every eye as the
brown columns swung up Kansas ave-
nue.. There was cheering and applause,
but as general rule the feeling was
too sincere to be expressed outwardly.
Parade Was Divided.
Owing to the fact that the second
and third trains did not reach Topeka
until late in the afternoon the parade
was divided into two parts. The first
part moved from the Union Pacific de-
pot at $3.50 O'Clock and consisted of
companies l. K. L and NJ. machine
gun company, regimental staff and
brigade headquarters. The parade was
headed by the all-state reception COM
n1ittee, chamber of commerce military
committee, city and state officials
-Four bands furnished the music by
which the famous fighting men
marched UP Kansas avenue to Tenth
street and thence to the state house
grounds.

Meets This Afternoon.

Paris. May 31.-IndicationS are that
the presentation of the peace terms to
the Austrian delegation Istll be post
poned beyond Monday when it had
over.
The plenary session of the peace
conference this afternoon will decide
the question.
Answers Last Hun Notes.
Premier Clemencesu, as president
of the peace conference today replied
to the last two German notes. The
official statements on the replies have
not yet been issued.
Presentation of the German counter
proposals has created the possibility
OF again opening up the diplomatic
struggles among the allies which have
been fought out during the last sew
eral months.
Raises Old Arguments
The German communication is re-
markable in that it raised some points
that are startlingly like those which
the less extreme elements among the
allies stood for during the early ses-
sions of the conference. The amount
winch Germany agrees to pay in rep
aration tS25, 900, 600, 000), for instance,
is practically the exact figure which
the Americans advocated inserting in
the treaty.
Belief mat Germany probably would
be taken into the league of nations
Immediately but for the unyielding OPP
, position of France, was reiterated in
Certain quarters today. 1t was admit
ted this opposition is so strong it can
net be overcome but the feeling con-
tinues in ether circles that more would
be gained by placing Germany in the
position of adhering to all the leagues
regulations than by leaving her on the
outside. subject only to the present
machinery to enforce the peace terms

have AN OUTING
Encampment and Rifle Shoot
Planned for the X. n. O..
Winners of Shoot viii Enter
the National Contests.

Plans are being made by the ad-
jutant generals department for a
Kansas National Guard encampment
and a dual state rifle shoot this sum-
mer The latter will include two
matches one by members of the K n.
G. and the other by civilians 1t is
the intention to send a team of each
to the national rifle shoot to be held
on the naval rifle range beginning
August at Caldwell, n. j. The high
scorers at the state shoot will repre-
sent Kansas in the national shoot.
Especial interest is being shown in
the guardsmens encampment this
year as it is the first since 1915. In
1916 the Kansas guards were called
into the border service and later for
service in the war against Germany.
1t is probable that the encampment
will be held at Camp Funston, but
the consent of the government has
not yet been obtained to that end.
The rifle shoot will be held either -on
the range at Funston or Fort Leaven-
worth, probably the last week in July.
Get Ranges Ready.
Officers of the present Kansas Ma
tional Guard companies have been in
structed by the adjutant general to
get their rifle ranges in readiness for
practice work. Enlargement of the

New York, May 31.-Operations on the
stock exchange this week were limited to
four full sessions but this did not material
" diminish the volume of trading, the daily
turnover ranging from 400 900 to 1000 600
shares.
There was I'm undertone of caution. how
ever, resulting not SO much from firme-
money, but a general desire TO take profits
over the protraeted holiday because of the
critical conditions abroad.
This tendency naturally manifested itself
in stocks which recently enjoyed especial
speculative favor, notably motors and oils
but was balaLed by fresh demand for
shfppings, low grade rails, steels and
equipments.
There was also broader inquiry for
specialties comprising the food, chemical.
rubber and textile groups, accumulation of
those issuing being based on tangible evil
dence of trade improvement.
The unqualified success of the victory
loan as shown by the large over-subscrip-
ton, also stimulated the bond market and
contributed to the success of several new
capital issues, including a $10,O0oo00 South
American municipal offering.
Rates on London, Paris and Rome were
again extremely unsettled but this long
standing condition was without adverse
effect on British and French war flotations
while the Russian issues in this market
strengthened substantially.

Tells OF Abuse From Villa.

Barefoot and Bruised, U. S. Engineer
Tells of Abuse From Villa.
Aqua Prieta. Sonora. Mexico. May
31-Barefoot and bruised about the
head and face and suffering for the
want of food and water, Franklin L..
Harding chief consulting engineer
for the Chicago Exploration and De-
velopment corporation, walked into
town during the early hours this
morning from the company's proper
ties at Telamer, Sonora, bordering on
the state of Chihuahua, about 225
miles south of here.
Following is Mr.. Harding's story:
Early last Tues lay morning, the
mining camp was attacked by band
OF Villa followers and, after the ban
dts had looted the commissary, l was
taken prisoner and forced to accom-
pany the bandits into Chihuahua to
the Pueblo of Mors, where L was given
every libe'ty after being beaten and
abused and denied food and water.
All the employees at the mine are
MeXicans, including the superintendent,
whose attempt to interceue IN my be-
half was ignored by the leader OF the
band, whom L have learned is a
cousin of the notorious He'd Lopez,
who figured prominently in the early
uays Oh lHe Mattefo revolution
The bandits stripped Mr. Harding
of everything of value, and, according
to his story, they made him take OH
his shoes, which, after having the
SOleS cut from them, were returned.
After days rest, Mr.. Harding will
leave for Hermosillo, the Sonora state
capital, in an effort to prevail upon
the authorities to give his mine the
protection of an armed force and IL
make full report of the incident To
the American consul.

Chicago, May 31-Tribune: GRAIN
From the way May corn came out Thurs
day, it created the impression that small
holders were more anxious to take profits
rather than the cash corn.
1t the impression in certain quarters
late Thursday that there will be no sky
rocketing the price of May corn unless
few belated shorts become scared at the
last and bid prices up. The prospects of
a crop scare in the northwest is having
some effect on sentiment in oats.
Patrick Cudahy, the Milwaukee packer.
says supplies of hogs will be large and
demand from abroad heavy.
Herald Examiner: 600 to 700 cars Of corn
are expected to be seen on the market for
delivery this morning.
The open interest in May corn has been
greatly reduced and the deliveries today.
it is hoped, will even up that position of
the shorts So that there will be no big
price fluctuations as the month of May
passes.
1t is expected that with May futures out
of the way, business in the deferred months
will show some improvement, altho the
restrictions on the amount of holdings by
any one interest will continue at 200, 900
bushels.

L. S. WARNED CARRANzA.
Advised Mexican President of Impend-
ing Revolution a Year Ago.

ing revolution Year Ago.
Washington, May 31.-Altho the
CarranZa government of Mexico was
warned nearly a year ago by the
United States of preparation for the
present revolutionary campaign, which
has resulted in the proclalming of
Gen. Felipe Angeles, provisional presi-
dent, and Francisco Villa, secretary of
war, little attention was paid to in
formation given by this country.
Specific warnings of the threatened
menace to his power were given Presi-
dent Carranza by the United States
last october ) and again last No
vember p, it was learned authorita-
lively today. President Carranza was
reminded on these and other occa-
sions particularly of his duty to pro-
tect Americans and American prop
erty in Mexico.
Started Year Ago.
Villa began the collection of arms.
munitions and money a year ago for
the campaign, which, IN the opinion
of officials here, now has grown to
constitute the gravest menace to Car
ranza's power since Villa was defeated
ago.
Just why Carranza paid little heed
to the warnings or was unable to di-
vert any military forces from other
parts of the republic to the campaign
in the north is a mystery to officials
here.
Six weeks ago, Carranza had 5000
men in Torreon, it is officially report
ed, with a large supply of arms and
ammunition at Chihuahua. Officials
here are unable to understand why he
did not move those troops north be-
fore Villas men had been assembled
IN a large force at any point.

TO REPEAL LUXURY TAX
House Prepares To Make Short Work
of Law Today.

Washington, May 31.-While the
senate today continued its rest, the
house prepared to make short work
of the so-called luxury taxes. A reso-
luton to repeal these taxes-already
favorably reported from committee
was expected to go thru without much
debate. The agriculture appropriation
bill also awaited final disposition.
