was elected president of France. It
was the climax of a long public career
in which he had served in minor ca
pacities in several departments. Be-
fore election he was a member of the
chamber of deputies and presided over
that body. He had also done much
literary work.
His election as president aroused
little enthusiasm. It was regarded
largely as a rebuke to his opponent,
Premier Clemenceau
Deschaners former mental vigor
appeared lacking after his election
and there were many rumors as to
his real physical condition. Recently,
he has been in the country near Paris
under care of a physician.
Shortly after his election, Deschanel
was found by a railway track, wan
dering along the road in his night
clothing. He explained he had either
walked or fallen from a moving train
in his sleep. He was not injured.

United States to Have No Voice

British Colonies Must Bow, to

Paris, Sept. 15.-Tne question of
racial equality for the japanese, over
which the Versailles peace conference
nearly split, will be one of the most
important problems confronting the
general assembly of the League of Ma
tions when it meets November Is in
Geneva, in pursuance to the call of
President Wilson.
Having failed to get recognition in
the treaty of Versailles, owing largely
to opposition of American and British
colonial delegates, Japan proposes to
bring the matter before the league
assembly, it was learned today.
Japan May Withdraw.
The belief was expressed if Japan
fails to win the racial recognition that
would give her emigrants equal rights
and privileges with those of any other
country, she will withdraw from the
league.
In preparation for the fight she ex-
poets to- make. Japan has retained ac-
commodations at Geneva for the larg-
est delegation that has manifested its
intention of attending the assembly
meeting.
According to rumors in Paris dipIo-
matte circles. Viscount Ishii, japanese
foreign minister, may be present to
conduct the negotiations.
During the Versailles conference this
question of racial equality came close
to causing an even more dangerous
schism than the one over Fiume, when
the italian delegates withdrew 1t
was an open secret that the temporary
award of Shantung to Japan was a
reward for her decision to stir up no
serious trouble.
May Win Victory.
Diplomats here regard Japan's de-
cision to make the first meeting of the
league assembly the battle ground a
most stra tegic one, as at the Geneva
meeting the japanese will not face
much opposition. America, not being
a member of the league, will have
nothing to say about it
AS to the British colonies, particu-
larly Canada, Australia and New Zea-
land, they can only make thir protest
heard thruout the British delegation.

JAEDICKE ON FEET
Hanover Friends Rally to Sup
port of President.
In Topeka Today They Make Up
the 100000 Shortage.
ORGANIZE COMMUNITY BANK
To Be Capitalized at $4,000
With a $4,000 Surplus.
Jaedicke Here But He Refuses
to Make Statement.
ORGANIZE COMMUNITY BANK

Friends of August Jaedicke, jr de-
faulting bank president, are to put the
Hanover Institution on its feet and
make it a going concern. Final plans
for such a course were worked out
today when 20 Washington county
farmers-most of them wealthy Ger
mans-sat in a. conference in the Of
flee of Walter E. Wilson, state bank
commissioner.
Every dollar of Jaedicke's 100000
shortage is to be made good. The
bank will be operated under a trus-
teeship and will be a community
owned institution. In order to take
care of the banks shortages and to
provide a new $4,000 capitalization
and $4,000 surplus. each trustee will
buy certificates at $3.50 each. A total
of 400 certificates Will be issued.
Practically all of them have been sub
scribed.
Jaedicke himself sat in the confer
ence in the state house. He declined
flatly, however, to discuss either his
own affairs or the reorganization of
the bank which closed its doors sew
eral months ago.
Turns Over His Property.
Under the reorganization Jaedicke
will turn over to the trustees all of his
property. He may own several GER
tificates in the trusteeship. He will
not. however be officially connected
with the bank mana cement and will
not serve as an officer or a director.
Plans for the reorganization of the
Hanover State bank were worked out
following series of conferences which
Commissioner Wilson recently held
with farmers and business men in
Washington county The reorganiza-
ton means every dollar of the old
banks Indebtedness will be paid off.
None of the bank depositors or credi-
tors will lose a dollar. Thousands of
dollars of the reorganization fund, tho,
is to be provided by men and women
who were among the banks heaviest
depositors.
Closed Last Spring.
Jaedicke's bank closed last spring
following a series of speculations by
the bank president. The bank had
been rated as one of the strongest
country town institutions in the state.
1t was not under the bank guaranty
act. Shortages of more than $500, 900
were found when the state banking
department began an investigation.
Recently Jaedicke was arrested in
Alexandria, La, and brought to Kan
sas. A delegation of Washington
county farmers met the train and
promptly subscribed as surety on
Jaedicke's bond for amounts far in ex-
cess of that fixed by the court.
! Plans for reorganization have been
under way since Jaedicke was arrested.
Final details for re-esta blishment of
the bank were worked out today and
! the bank will resume business under
: its former name. The bank was es-
/ tablished a number of years ago by
! Jaedicke's father.

Lowell Merchant Plays Detective,
 Catches Fugitive

Leaving his store last night in charge of his clerk while he went home for supper, Earl G. Ambrusky. proprietor of the Golden Rule" store, gents furnishings, in Lowell, returned to find that the clerk, Jul Illus Ross, had left. taking with him, according to Amdrusky, all the money in the cash register, about $20O.
 Amdrusky immediately notified the shariff's and police officers of Lo- well. and a search was begun, but with no results The wrathful pro prietor then sat down by himself for a concentrated contemplation of the crime. Using Sherlock Holmes method of deduction. he decided that Ross would try to leave the country that night on the night train.
 Amdrusky then got his car, drove to Osborn and past the S. P. station Sh0re, with his lights on. When well past. he turned out his lights and quietly drove back again. A short distance from the station he found Ross waiting on the tracks for the night train. He took Ross back 10 Lowell and turned him over to the police there.

STOCK LETTER

The strength in a few specialties had the effect of causing short cover ing. The market declined rather sharply in the last hour on scattering liquidation which found very thin buying power. Money ruled at 6 per cent during the session but this did not stimulate any fresh buying and it begins to look as though the public has been cured of it's desire to inaug- urative buying operations at present This is natural in view of the outlook of things abroad and the unfavorable conditions of foreign exchange marked extreme values developed today. This latter influence had much to do with the late selling. Judging by the action of several stocks it seems as though the talk about the imminence of the deflation on broader scale in com modities is having it's effect and stocks like Rubber and Leather were subjected to quite a little selling. It would not be surprising if the Federal Reserve Board should announce d sharp advance in the re-discount rate in the very near future. We still see nothing in the situation to warrant taking position on the long side of the market.
