EXAGGERATE BANKS LOSSES

Every note in the Hanover State
bank is genuine, according to q state
ment credited to August Jaedicke. Jr.,
while on his way to Kansas in custody
of the sheriff of Washington county.
Jaedicke is said to have denied en-
phatically that he placed bogus paper
In the bank in an effort to protect
losses.
While the defaulting bank president
does not seek to shield himself. he re-
fuses fatty to give names OF persons
who aided in his operations or were
the cause of his trouble. He stated.
tho. that figures reciting his shortages
were exaggerated and reiterated for
mer assertions that he would be able
to make good every dollar of the
banks loss. The bank did not opeT-
ate under the state bank guaranty act.
Frequently reports have been circu-
lated TO the effect that much forged
paper has been found in the Hanover
bank. Now that Jaedicke is return
ing. the worth Of this paper will be
clearly determined. Several patrons of
the bank are said TO have told bank
examiners that their notes were for
geries or the face amounts had been
raised.
Bad Loans Caused Losses.
No statement has been made by
Jaedicke as to the use of the money
He has declared that portion was
used to help two brothers and that
of this total of $4,000. at least one
half may be available to bank cred
itOrs. Bad loans are also declared 10y
Jaedicke to have caused a portion Of
the loss. Yet the banker does not go
into detail.
Efforts will he made by Jaedicke

to secure both funds and assistance
when he reaches Washington county
today. He is expected to be able TO
provide bond Immediately. His bond
may be fixed at $4,000.
Relatives will provide money with
which to make good many of his
shortag es, Jaedicke believes. In th1s
manner the banker hopes to be able
to restore his former high standing in
the community and 10 replace losses
of bank patrons.

day, although the sun was shining

feared, and the chances were 100 to l
against ever seeing him again.
She censured herself for agreeing
TO this South sea honeymoon. Why

would not be the happy way, because
it would leave Ralph in the clutches
