BIG SUPREME COURT DOCKET
Eighty Cases VIM Be Heard During
Week. In October Session.

Week. in October Session.
The October session of the July term
ofthe Kansas supreme court Will open
tomorrow with a bulky docket of
eighty cases TO be heard the ensuing
week. The session is the first since
July. Decisions on the cases heard at
the July session will be handed down
next Saturday.
OF particular interest among the
cases to be argued this week is that
pertaining to the custer proceedings
against State Bank Commissioners
Walter E. Wilson. The law under
which the office of bank commissioner
was created provides that that official
may not be removed, if he SO chooses,
without court action. With the SUI
preme court therefore lies the final
action to determine whether or not
Mr.. Wilson is to retain. his office.
Grounds for the custer proceedings
were laid at hearing held several
months ago before a committee of five
bankers appointed as commission by
Governor Allen. The decision of the
commission was that Mr.. Wilson should
be removed from office. The charges
involved conditions surrounding the
failure of two state banks, at Salina
and LaCygne, and the granting of a
charter to a bank holding corporation
of which Mr.. Wilson was an official,
being at the same time g. member OF
the state charter board which granted
the charter.
Motions ito make more definite and
certain are pending in two of the four
cases brought in the supreme court to
compel the state banking department
to approve certificates Of deposit held
by corporations claiming to have been
depositors in the defunct Salina State
bank which was under the state bank
guarantee law. The purpose of the
motions is to make clear whether the
Indebtedness claimed represents money
actually deposited in the bank or
whether the certificates were issued in
return for loans to the bank.
