NEW BANK LAW is EFFECTIVE.
Penalty for Bank Robbing Fixed at
From Ten to Fifty Years.

The new Kansas law fixing the pen
atty for bank robbing at from ten to
fifty years at hard labor in the state
penitentiary is now effective. It was
passed by the present legislature, to
become operative upon official publi-
cation.
An attempted robbery is as much
a crime as an accomplished one under
the statute. which covers all kinds
whether a ''stick-up" in the day time
or a yeggmen's visit by night, and ap-
plies to the property of "any bank or
trust company or banking associa-
ton"
A bill offered this session made
bank robbery subject to life imprison-
ment and in fixing the maximum the
solons evidently intended that the en-
acted law should provide an extreme
penalty of life Imprisonment unless
such penalty should fall upon an ex-
tremely youthful bandit.
