The state banking board does not
mssess the power of appointing
receiver for bank.
CLOSING ILLEGAL
The banking board cannot deter
mine bank insolvent or cause it to
be closed without the knowledge and
consent of the bank examiner.
The action of LANCER and Hall
was unwarranted, illegal and Meth
er was in the spirit nor the letter of
the legal powers conferred upon
them, and it both merits and receives
the condemnation of this court.
But probably the greatest blow of
the decision to LANCER and Hall was
the order of the court that all costs
and expenses incurred by the bank
in fighting the action should be paid
by the Attorney y-General to secretary
Of state, and the other respondents,
including P. E. Halldorson, their
pretended receiver and Assistant At
omey-General Sheets.
NO MINORITY REPORT
Justices Christianson and Birdzell
did not write an opinion and reserved
the right to express their views lat

case Of vast Importance that justice
Christianson has reserved" the right
to express his opinion later. He de-

Lockwood, and answer in brief has
been filed by Onstad and Greer on
behalf of Clair Stoner and the tax
payers. The brief filed by Attorney
Gunther contained 81 pages and the
one by Howard M. Lewis about the
same, but the one filed by Onstad &
Greer contained So typewriter
pages. However this is the only
time at bat for Onstad & Greer, but
Attorney Gunther and Howard M.
Lewis have another inning, when the
whole matter will be up to Judge c..
E. Conner.
The taxpayers are very confident
of winning the case, and several OF

thoroughly informing themselves in
the case and it seems that the people
must win in the end.
The taxpayers are paying for the

FARMER SHOOTS
MOTHER, SISTERS,
AND THEN SELF

Amarillo, Tex, May John Gre
Der, aged 80 a prominent farmer. re
siding near White Deer. % mites
north of this city, this morning shot
and instantly killed his mother and
his younger sister, probably fatally
injured his older sister, and then shot
himself. Greber's brother and wife
were visiting at the time and the
tragedy was witnessed by Grcbc1's
sister in-law, who attempted to take
the pistol from him. He resisted how
ever, but made no effort to shoot
her after freeing himself.
The cause of the tragedy is not
known and is perplexing to officials
and friends, as Greber has been a
citizen of the community and unusual
ly good standing for a number of
years. Although Greber has not re.
gained consciousness since the affair
it is said by physicians that he will
recover. He is still at his home to-
night and will probably remain there
until he is able to be removed.
Reports received from the hospital
at Canadian where the older sister
was sent indicate that little hope is
held out for her recovery. According
to statements of the only eye witness
Greber's sister in law, the shooting
was premediated and apparently was
carefully planned. The weapon was {
81 callbre automatic pistol.

MILL1ONTH MAN
WILL LEAVE SOON !
FOR AMERICA

New York, May 5.-The on mil
lionth man of the American Expert
tionary force will embark for home
| next week, Secretary of War Baker
said today on his arrival from France
aboard the transport George Wash
ington. The homeward movement of
troops, Mr.. Baker said, is progressing
in most satisfactory manner, and he
added that the 100000 month mark
would be reached in June.
Secretary Baker left here April 7th,
acce mpanied by Warren Pershing,
General Pershing's only son. He
visited various points in France
where American troops are quartered,
going also to the German line where
he reviewed the Third army. Speak
ing briefly of his visit, Secretary
Baker said:
"The American army aboard is in
splendid condition. The Third army
which I inspected on the German
frontier. is beyond doubt the best
equipped army in the world. It is ev-
erything that an army should, in all
it's departments.
"The men are anxious to get home,
and we are moving them as rapidly
as possible. I expect to see the 300,-
900 month mark reached in June,
and the one millionth man will en-
bark for home next week."
Secretary Baker said he visited but
one enbarkation camp-that at
Brest. "Its condition is simply IDEAL"
he asserted, "and yeu can get the
same expression from any doughboy
on this ship. I did not see any of the
others, but I am informed that the
same good condition prevails at ALL"
Mr. Baker will remain over in New
York to. review the parade Of the 77th
division tomorrow, after which he will
leave for Washington.

"My stomach. and intestines were

soreness caused me to think l need

Bile now is to make enough dough

Greeneville People
Want Better Ice

There is no little amount of criti-
cism heard upon every hand just now
about the quality of the ice being
furnished our people by the local ice
plant. The ice that has been made
and sold here during the past few
months has been of a very inferior
quality-it resembles baled snow in
stead of pretty, clear, crystal ice that
has been sold here for so long by the
same company. There is strong talk
of another plant being installed by
local business men. For immediate
relief, we are informed, that some
kind of an arrangement is being en-
couraged looking to handling ice here
manufactured in an adjoining city.
1t is true fact that our citizens
want relief and while we don't want
to encourage patronizing any goods
made outside of town, it would seem
that such is going to be forced upon
the munless our local ice company
furnish better grade of ice at an
early date.

to say that fully nineJy-nine out of

Pike Roads
In Bad Condition

A complaint of the condition of the
pike roads of the county can be heard
from the various parts of the county,
but no one appears to know where the
fault lies that these roads are not re-
paired. Greene county has system
Of pike roads that cost over million
of dallars to construct, and have be-
come so impaired as to render travel
over them almost impossible. The
Tusculum pike, unless repaired soon,
will have to built in its entirety. Au-
tomobile and other vehicles driven on
this road are now compelled to evade
the rock, hence the sides OF the road
are being used. John Roe, the cour-
teous and accommodating gentleman
who operates the jitney bus from
Chuckey to Greeneville over the pike
says, he will be compelled to discon-
tinue the use of this conveyance un-
less the condition of the road is i'm
proved. This is not as it should be.
The operating of this iitney over this
road is a great convenience to the
public along this route and should be
continued The season of the year
is here for improving the condition of
pike roads of the county, and every
effort should be put forth by the
proper authorities to that end, and by
so doing save the money that has
been invested in the construction of
these roads. X. X. X.
