holding the bank insolvent and re-
straining It from accepting deposits.
The order was dissolved by the su-
preme court,
Ormsby McHarg, attorney for tax
payers, suggested that the. matter
should be referred to District Judge
Coffey for hearing and decision on the
question of Aolvency or insolvency, or
the court could name referee to take
testimony.
Attorney General William Lemke,
representing the state, said he believ.
ed the question of the solveacy or In
solvency should be determined. as 4
banking institution cannot continually
be under attack, and suggested one
judge or referee hear the matter.
Judge Robinson, after these sugges-
tions, interp0sed the remarks that
new officers would take charge OF the
bank within 20 days, officers who are
adverse to the present management,
and that the court ought not to take
any hand In the matter.

you please, for protection OF unborn

these funds must be kept inviolate."
