Easter Cuntutu At
NJ ChuychSundoy
Petrie's Life Everlasting" VIII BE
Rendered by Choral Club
Under Leonard Wood

The rendition of Petrie's Life
Everlasting" by the local choral or
ganization. under the direction OF
Leonard Wood. at the Methodist
church. Sunday evening. will perhaps
excel any Easter musical effort ever
attempted In Filler.
The cantata will start promptly at
eight O'Clock. and IL is known that
many persons viii be unable to hear
the production unless they are in
their seats early, for the musical is
expected to attract hearers from
every quarter.
Life Everlasting" is the same
cantata produced at the Methodist
church at Twin Falls last Easter
Sunday, under the direction OF Mr..
Wood. who at that time was director
of music at the Twin Falls church.
Some OF the same voices. notably
that OF Mrs. G. ii. Shearer. will take
part in the cantata here that partici-
pated in the rendition at Twin Falls.
The eantata was acclaimed there as
the most successful that had ever
been given in Twin Falls, and IL is
estimated that a thousand persons
were turned away from the church
on the night IL was given for lack OF
seating capacity.
The organization which will give
the famous cantata Sunday evening
is made up OF the best musical talent
Ia the community. and numbers
about forty voices.
An ensemble accompaniment will
be used with Mrs. G. Ii. Truitt al
the organ. and Miss lrma Deal al
the plano.
Among those who have solo OF
Duet parts are Mrs. Guy ii. Shear
err. Mrs. f. b. Ripley. Mrs. l.. H.
Brown, Mrs. f. +. Haag. Mrs. X. l..
Shearer. Mrs. f. A. BEEN. Victor II.
Pease. +. +. Drake. A. A. Carlson,
A. A. Claassen, and Leonard Wood.
Another rehearsal will be held to-
morrow evening promptly at seven
o'clock. and the final rehearsal will
be held at the church Sunday after
noon at 2:30 o'clock.

Passage Of Bill to
Abolish State Bank
Examiner Orders All Insti-

Up 10 the Legal Limit;
Trouble for Many Feared
Special Dispatch to The Tribune

MINNEAPOLIS. Feb, 23.--The House
Of the North Dakota Legislature, in
committee of the whole, has recon.
mended house bill 217, to abolish the
Bank of North Dakota, for passage.
What the Independents term the
trump card and final act of the Non
partisans in the financial drama that
has been staged in North Dakota for
tire last several months was played to-
day when o. E. Lofthus state hank eX
aminer, mailed registered letters to
each of the more than seven hundred
state banks in North Dakota ordering
that their reserves he built up 20 the
amounts required by law within thirty
days. Nonpartisans predicted that
strict enforcement of the law might
bring difficulty to many Of these banks
after the thirty days, some placing the
number as high as 800
The copy Of the law, Section 517o as
amended, provides that "the State
trolled) may impose a penalty Of not
less than 500 nor more than $500" if
the reserve requirements are not met
within thirty days notice.
Section 5189 Of the laws of 1918,
which has not been amended, provides
that "any bank shall be insolvent when
it fails to make good the amounts Of
required reserves lWo-htths OF the
reserves must be in cash and three
ifths, in approved repositories, includ-
ing the Bank of North Dakota
Section 1902 of the laws of 1918,
not amended, provides that if an in
solvent bank accepts deposits after
committing an act of insolvency, the
officers committing such act are guilty
of felony, punishable by a prison
term of one to ten years or fine of
not more than $4,000 or both.
At the Senate committee hearings
Monday afternoon and Tuesday more
than 300 banks, which have turned
down drafts of the Bank of North
Dakota, were listed. i. W Cathro, di-
retcor general Of the Bank of North
Dakota, in his testimony, has de-
clared in almost every case that the
turning down Of the drafts of the
Bank Of North Dakota constituted an
| act of insolvency.

yards of Dublin Castle, when .hey were
attacked in Parliament Street bv a
small band of civilians. The street
was crowded, and the assailants
escaped. The constables were wearing

Police Immediately cleared the
streets and searched the houses in "a
wide area, holding up ali traffic.
This was the first anniversary of the
imposition of the curfew law in Dublin,
and it was recently asserted that the
hour would be advanced to o'clock
unless attacks on the police ceased 1t
was reported several days ago that the
Sim Feiners had agreed to call Off all
attacks in the Dublin area. as result
of a conference with members of the
Labor party, who argued that an
earlier curfewr hour would cause much
unemployment. There is speculation
in Dublin as to whether to-day's out
break may not mean the enforcement
of more stringent curfew and military
regulations.
A constable was killed this morning
in an ambush at Ballylongford, in
Kerry.

number of policemen were seriously
