flew weeks ago the news was sent out

Secretary Of State Hall went back on

every means in their power to dis
credit it and all it stands for. State
Bank Examiner Lofthus was sent TO
Florida on an alleged wild goose
chase, and with Lofthus out or the
way for the time being, LANCER ana
Hall passed a resolution giving tine
attorney general the right to examine
all banks In the state. This authori-
| ty was used. to get at the affairs Of
the Scandinavian American bank only,
and a report was quickly gotten up
showing the general condition in a
way and recommending that post
dated checks were not to be accepted
as security. The tip had already been
given out that there was something
doing and all banks having obligations
lof' the Scandinavian American began
demanding Immediate payment. Over
tbe protest Of the governor the at
tosnev General and secretary Of state
voted to; close the Scandinayfan-Ameri-
can. notwithstanding that It., still had
cash in excess of the legal reserve,
