THIRTY MILLION
INVOLVED IN ACT
OF Federal HEAD
Government Declares Indian
Money Not Protected by
State Guaranty Fund:
May Withdraw 1t
By MAYBELLE STUARD

WASHINGTON Oklahoma Is in
danger Of losing approximately thirty
millions OF dollars OF Indian monies
now on deposit In Oklahoma banks
from the department OF the interior.
Notice Of the probability of this with
drawal ~ contained in letter said to
have been written BY Secretary Fall
TO the attorney general OF Oklahoma
and which should have been received In
Oklahoma City about Wednesday.
Since the failure OF the Okmulee
bank and the Guthrie bank. In which
were deposited large sums Of Indian
money, the secretary OF the interior
has had Ut der consideration the course
which should be pursued in recovering
funds deposited IN these banks and
other banks which failed In Oklahoma
and which have been advertising them
selves to the public as being protected
by the State Guaranty Fund. II now
develops that the guaranty fund is &c
thoroughly insolvent as to preclude any
possibility OF recovering anything from
that source. Under the rules and regu
lations piegcribed by the secretary Of
the interior. however. banks In which
Indian monies have been deposited are
required to furnish surety bonds tc
protect deposits.
Money Not Protected
II is understood now that the attor
ney general OF Oklahoma has taken th'
position that under the state guarant,
law the government as a depositor o
Indian money Is not entitled to tn
protection Of the fund because OF tn
extra precaution which had been takei
by the government in securing the de
posits Of surety bond.
