Gus figures were voted down.

Peoples State of Coffeyyille
Closed by Walter Wilson.
Could Not Realize on Paper
Due to Depression.

Coffeyville, Kan. Jan. 2o.-The
Peoples State bank of this city closed
it's doors this morning. State Bank
Commissioner Walter Wilson Is in
charge. Mr.. Wilson issued a state
ment saying he had not delved deep
enough into the banks affairs to give
an estimate of the probable loss. He
said the inability of the bank manage
ment to realize on its paper account
of the business depression caused him
to close its doors as the banks cash
reserve was too low to permit of its
continuing in business. He said re-
ceiver would be named to take over
the banks affairs.
In the last statement published the
Peoples bank had deposits of $780,
600 and published assets totaling
s71O,000. A. S. Newman is president
of the bank and D. M. Cahill is cash
ier, both men of highest integrity.
Local conditions in the Coffeyville
oil field and trouble of the bank, in
sible for closing of the institution, ac-
cording to reports from the state
banking department this afternoon.
Based on partial examinations, there
was a belief that it might not be nee
essary to close the doors of the insti :
tutlOn except temporarily. NO StcpS
have as yet been taken looking to ap-
pointment of a receiver, altho an ex-
aminer is in charge.
Walter E. Wilson. state bank com
missioner, is in Coffeyville today. w.
w. Bowman, secretary of the Kansas
Bankers association, will go to Cof-
feyville tonight and will confer with
Wilson and his assistants.
Heavy loans on local securities
which encountered big market slumps
are declared to have caused the bank
trouble When markets broke bor-
rowers were in some instances unable
to clean up their paper. So far as re-
ports sent to Topeka state, no charges
of irregularities or defalcations by the
Coffeyville banking officials have
heen made.

THEY GUARD LENIN
Gar Ill Is in Most Con-
/. slant Danger.
Servants Must Eat Food Before
He Touches 1t.

Riga, Jan. 20.-The life of Nikolai
Lenin is in serious danger, according
to reports reaching here.
The latest report from Moscow was
that Lenin, lying i'll, is surrounded by
relatives whose precautions against
poison plots out rival that of the
guards of the ancient czars.
Lenin's guards were reported to
follow the practice in vogue during
the old regime. All foods are analyzed
for traces of poison and where their
purity is suspected, the viands are Of
fered first to the servants preparing
them. If the servants live, the pre-
mier may eat the same preparation.
Other reports here indicated a grave
apprehension in Moscow. Soviet lead
ers were reported to fear their regime
would be in serious danger if Lenin
should die.
In recent weeks it has been reported
that he was desperately i'll and also
that his mind has collapsed under the
strain of his heavy labors.

BILL FOR STATE POLICE
Hasty Measure Will Produce Hot
Fight in House.

Creation of a department of state
police is to be asked at the present
session of the legislature Representa-
tive Hasty, of Sedgwick county, today
announced that he had drafted bill
providing for a force of fifty to $50
men. His bill carries an appropriation
of s175, 200.
Plans for organization of a state
police force are similar to the present
Pennsylvania law. A chief of the state
police would be appointed by the gov
ernor and confirmed by the senate
The bill is so worded, tho, that the
chief is subject to removal at pleasure
of the governor.
The present state fire marshafs de-
partment would be abolished under
terms of the bill. Work now handled
by the department would be taken
over by the state police organization.
1t is probable that the Hasty bill
will arouse red hot fight in the, legis-
lature. Governor Allen has stated that
he does not favor a state constabulary
and labor organizations are opposed
to the bill. On the other hand there
has been demand for such an organ
ization from several sources.
Hasty probably will send his bill
to the house hopper Friday. Senator
Rolla w Coleman, of Johnson county,
will introduce the bill in the senate. =

Mother Marshall Field Heir
Weds Prominent c CIeuelander
Peggy Marshs Son Recognized by Family but Dis
inherited by Court Legitimate, Therefore Not
Lawful Issue" Named in MiIlionaire's Will.

New York, Jan. 2o.-The marriage
of Peggy Marsh, English actress. to.
Albert L. johnson, member of a
prominent New York and Cleveland,
O., family, at Greenwich, Conn, on
January 5. became known here today.
Justice of the Peace Albert Meade
The bride is confined in a. sanitarium
here where she recently underwent
an operation for appendicitis.
The actress came to this country
few weeks ago and announced she
would institute legal proceedings to
obtain part of the fortune of the late
Henry Field, End, of Chicago, on be-.
half of her 4-year-old son, Henry
Anthony Marsh. The bridegroom is a
son of Albert L. Johnson. brother OF
the late Tom l.. johnson, who served
four terms as mayor of Cleveland -
Chicago, Jan. 2O.-Peggy Marsh. a
former chorus girl, met Henry F1efos
grandson of Marshall Field in l4ondon.
After Henry Fields death in july
1917, she instituted suit in the superior
court of Cook county for the construc-s
ton of the Marshall Field Will -
According to the story told by Peggy
Marsh she had received from henry
Field at least $4,000 in cash ana
presents He was further said to have
signed an agreement to pay her s100,-
900.
A formal claim for this latter
amount was filed late in 1919 in the
probate court against Henry Fields
estate. The claim was not contested
by the Field family, who let it be
known that they recognized Peggy
Marsh's son as the child of Henry
Field. The suit to construe the will
of Marshall Field so as to give to the
actresses son a share in his great
grandfathers millions was unsuccess-
full. But court decisions held the child
heir to the 100000 which Henry
Field left when he died intestate.
The unsuccessful fight for share
in the undivided principal of the Mar
shall Field estate turned upon a single
phrase in the will Certain contin-
gencies were made by that instrument
dependent upon the testator's grand
children dying without lawful issue.
The attorneys for the Marsh inter-
est, led by Edward F. Dunno. former
governor of Illinois. contended chlid
born out of wedlock might be lawful
heir and that therefore Peggy Marsh S
son came within the meaning of the
will The winning contention by the
Field estate attorneys was that the
