K ANSAS WRECKED BANK

Shreveport. La, July 14.-After hav-
ing been allowed to rest at a local
hotel on his way from Alexandria, to
break the fatigue Of his trip, August
Jaedicke Jr, who faces charges of
emhezzling $13S 900 OF its funds and
wrecking the Hanover State Bank, Of
Hanover, Kansas, left Shreveport to-
day for his home city under escort
Of Sheriff Collins of Hanover and Dep
uty Butterfield, an agent of the West.

whom he Is charged with embezzling
$4,000.
Jaedicke was accompanied by his
sister Mrs. Richard Messall of Shreve-
port, and by his nephew, Victor Mes
sail, and the latter's wife.
Asked how he felt about returning
TO the scene Of his alleged irregulari-
ties, Jaedicke. said:
81 am anxious to get back and
straighten out the affair, in the bank
and help reorganize It, l am conf
dent that I will be able to straighten
out matters, as / believe that my
friends will come to my aid My
sister Mrs. Messall. who went 10

and my wife have been working on

II was worried until I saw my
sister, who arrived in Alexandria the
morning after l was arrested and
told me what the conditions We're in
Hanover What she told put new
life into me and has made me feel
like a different man. I knew that
my friends would stand by me.
Mrs. Messall said that her inves'
tigation of the conditions of the Han
over bank convinced her that her
brother was a victim of circumstances
due to bad loans and a check kit

was not his fault. She wired Jae-

EDITOR A WITNESS FOR
WOMAN WHO IS F|GHT|N c
FOR S5,00O,000 EST TATE

Chicago July 14-John r. Rathom,
publisher of the Providence Or. I)
Journal, will be an important witness
for Mrs. Mary c. Melvin, who with
the aid Of CASTOR Means, is fighting
TO prove the validity of the alleged
second viii of James c. King, whose
estate, now valued at $5,OOO,OOO will
become Mrs. Melvins property if the
will is held genuine, counsel for
Means announced today. They petit
toned Circuit Judge Baldwin to per.
init Mr. Rathom to make a deposi-
tion that. Means showed him the con-
tested will in October or November,
1915. Judge Baldwin consented.
1t is the contention OF the Northern
Trust Company, trustee of the estate,
that Means, before he showed the
will 70 anyone. made a prolonged and
thorough investigation of Kings life
and Of his friends, companions and
business associates. He made this
investigation from 1915, to 1917, the
company asserts, and it was not until
1917 that he produced the will.
"He did not make this investigation
before he showed any one the will"
Mrs. Melvin's attorney declared. HE
showed the will to Rathom in 1915,
shortly after he found it. He asked
Mr.. Rathom to have it photographed
in the studio Of the Providence Jour-
nal, because he wanted to send pho
t1graphs to various typewriter man.
facturers, so that he could determine
what typewriter was used in writ
ing the will.
"His long investigation from 1915,
10 1917, was not preliminary to his
suddenly producing the will, but was
an aftermath Of the discovery of the
will. The investigation was made to
set evidence to prove the genuine
ness Of the will"

CROPS IN GOOD SHAP {

Oklahoma City, July 24.-With the
exception Of rather wet and cool
weather, best growth Of cotton, the
week ending July IS, was very favor
able for growing crops in Oklahoma
| according to the weekly summary of
weather crop conditions issued this
morning by the weather bureau here.
The temperature was moderate
throughout the week, averaging slight
ly below normal, says the synopsis.
Sunshine was deficient, but adequate
for growing crops.
The abundant rains during the week
were especially timely for corn and
the crop generally made excellent pro
gress, the report states, the condition
being very good 10 excellent.
Although some Of the upland corn
had been damaged by hot weather.
the bulk of the crop is declared to
be In very promising" condition, re.
cent rains practically assuring good
yields on most of the early corn.
The thrashing of wheat and oats
was retarded by frequent rains" con-
tinues the summary but the grain
has not been materially damaged in
shock. Both wheat and oats are
making fair to very good yields, ex-
cept in the northwest portion, where
the Yields are generally rather poor,
especially on wheat Grain sorghums,
broom corn, sweet potatoes, peanuts,
truck crops and pastures We're much
benefited by the abundant rains and
these crops show marked improve
inent and are promising.
Cotton generally made satisfactory
TO very good progress and the crop
is steadily improving and beginning
TO bloom freely. The condition still
varies greatly, ranging rather poor to
excellent. Weevil and square borers
are reported throughout the central,
south central and eastern portion Of
the state, but are generally not very
numerous or active and have as yet
caused no serious damage"
