imately $16,000,000 from private
banks to loan. more than $70,000,-
900 in applications for loans have
accumulated. In going into the
open market for funds. the banks
are losing one-half of one per cent
interest, the government rate be-
ing 5h per cent and the private
rate 6 per cent. To offset this loss,
however, the net income OF the
twelve banks have averaged $780,
600 monthly since the first of the
year.
The banks have assets of $780,
600. 900 on which no liens have

BANKER 5 DEATH
BATTLES POLICE
IN Los ANGELES

Los Angeles, Calf. May 4.-The
theory that II. j. Robbins. retired
Nebraska banker, whose body was
found early today, was killed in an
attempt to avenge the shooting to
death of an unidentified burglar in
the vicinity of the Robbins home
recently, was advanced tonight by
police who acknowledged their IN
ability to find any other motive.
The burglar was found in the
rear of nearby residence by j. l..
Stuchberry, a special policeman,
who grappled with him and after
hard struggle was able to draw
and fire his revolver first. The
dead mans pocket contained con-
siderable jewelry.
The police, recalling this, an
nounced their belief that whoever
killed the banker had mistaken
him for Stuchberry and declared
the revenge theory would account
for the fact that Robbins watch
and considerable sum of money
were found on his body.
Their only clews, they said, con-
sisted of bloodstains, a few foot
prints in soft earth, poor descrip-
tion of the slayer and a piece OF
|rope with. which the banker was
strangled.
