TO HAVE BEEN LAID AT THEIR
DOOR AND THE ONLY REASON
THAT THIS COLLATERAL SEEMS
TO BE dRFTICTZED SEEMS TO BE
THAT THEY ARE MEMBERS OF
THE NONPARTISAN LEAGUE. IN
THE ABSENCE OF ANY PROOF
OTHERWISE. THE PRESUMPTION
is THAT THESE MEN ARE WORTH
THE AMOUNT OF THEIR NOTES
AND TO THOSE THAT KNOW
THEM THERE is NO DOUBT THAT
THAT PRESUMPTION IS COR
RECT"
The report goes into detail, taking
from the transcript Of the house com
mittee, the record Of notes criticized.
In every instance, with the exception
Of one where an opponent of the Non
partisan League with the same name
and initials Of a man known in his
locality as a Lacquer, was mentioned
as the ma1Eer of a note.
It is shown that all collateral
against loans and rediscounts from
other banks-the Bank Of North Da-
kota does not lend directly to individ-
uals-was held in the ratio Of two to
lone against the amount loaned.
Referring to the CRITICISM" Of col
lateral from the Scandinavian-Amerl-
can bank in Fargo made by counsel for
the house committee, the senate inves-
'tigators say: \
"It is significant t note that the
total amount of collateral deposited by
the Observation-Disclosures bank with
the Bank of North Dakota was S337,-
1884. In other words. the total critl-
cized by Inference and innuendo with
no reference TO the net worth of the
individual borrowers at the Fargo
bank) is only s109, 15o.49 leaving
S22S,O29 as unmentioned and uncriti-
cized; and since the attorneys (for the
house committee) appear to criticize
the collateral about Which they know
nothing, simply because it is found in
the Bank Of North Dakota, it is very
apparent that they were unable to dig
,r+h;nr ,bou+ tho &CoS OOO worth
Of collateral uncriticized which still is
left to secure a loan of S17S,S23.5l. AS
a matter of fact. there is no definite
evidence in this record anywhere to
show that this collateral is not good,
while there is positive proof that the
collateral is as good as can be found
be collected"
Various errors in the house commit
tee and the Bishop. Brissman audi
were detected: particularly n where

Charge of Favoritism
Complete Failure

Referring to the criticism of the
house committee regarding r%edeposits
Of the Bank Of North Dakota in the
Scandinavian-American bank of Fargo,
the committee finds:
1.-THE effort Of course has been made
to link the name of the Bank of North
Dakota with the Scandfnavian-Ameri-
can bank because it always has been
the target of politicians, and was again
attacked by the political investigating
committee.
"There was positive proof over the
signed signature of ]. r. Waters, the
mar who says he was driven out. of
the Bank Of North Dakota or COM
PEELED to resign, to the effect that he
himself had ordered the redeposits
made in the Observation-Disclosures
bank; that they all were made within
a period Of forty-fve days following
the opening of the Bank of North Da-
kota, and some of them were made be-
fore the Bank Of North Dakota opened
by checks actually drawn by j. r.
Waters himself"
Waters had testified before the
house committee he never had made
any redeposits in the Scandinavian
American bank, but had criticized the
administration Of the state bank for
having done so.
1T is clearly evident" the report
continues" that since no redeposits
have been made since the expiration of
that period of forty-five days, that no
one is responsible for the size of that
redeposit except j. R. Waters, the man
who now is trying TO assist in destroy
hg the Bank of North Dakota, and
who, under the law creating the bank,
had at that time entire authority and
control of the bank"
Waters was ousted from the man.
agership of the Bank of North Dakota
by the industrial commission.
Criticisms of other redeposits il
other banks We're investigated by the
committee. 1t was shown that Twin
City banks have sums in those institu
tons as large Or larger than the Banl
of North Dakota; and that the state
bank has the protection Of the guar
anty fund law.
; There has been no evidence of an.
! kind to show that the Bank of Nortl
; Dakota has withdrawn funds and de
]. posted money in other banks in an.
' appreciate amounts other than thos,
t in which the funds originated" tn

HAD TO WORK MIGHTY
HARD TO KILL HIMSELF
Associated Pressl

Jacksonville, May 4.-The body of
Harry Snyder, aged thirty, of Clear
water, who killed himself here late
yesterday after numerous unsuccess-
full attempts, will be sent to Clearwa-
ter for burial.
Snyder in an insane condition was
brought here a week ago and placed
in a sanitarium. While there he at
tempted to jump from a second story
window. He later escaped and at
tempted to jump into the river, then
slashed an artery in his wrist. Aid
arrived and the wound was dressed.
He crushed a drinking glass in one
hand and slashed the bandages on his
wounded wrist. His physicians then
put him in jail for his own safety.
Snyder planned to hang himself with
a small rope on his cot in the cell,
when the jailer removed the rope. He
finally hanged himself with a rope
made from shirt and piece Of mat
tress cover.
