BANK is CLOSED Bic FOUR TO QUIT
Pioneer State Bank Held
$4,000 in Oil Paper.
Clyde B. Crumb Assumes Re-
sponsibility for Trouble.

Officers of the Pioneer State bank
Of Burlingame apparently believed all
the glowing statements in the pros
pectus of wild cat oil companies op-
Grating In Usage county. Now the
bank is holding $4,000 worth of pa
per which promoters in the Burlin-
game district are alleged to have
''kited." The bank did not open for
business this morning, following an m
vestigation by the state banking de-
partment.
Dealers in deep test wells and leases
are alleged to have gone into the mat
ter of high finance as seriously as they
engaged in the deep well digging game
maybe more SO. In any event re-
ports at the office of Frank H. Fos-
ter; state bank commissioner, are to
the effect that the Pioneer State bank
of Burlingame is holding $4,000
worth of paper on which it seems un-
able to collect. Under an order from
the state department the Burlingame
bank did not open its doors this morn
ing.
For number of years the Buriin-
game bank has been regarded as one
of the strongest financial institutions
in Usage county. Under its last state
ment it showed deposits of $356,000.
Its capital was $4,000 and surplus
and profits $4,000.
Under Guaranty Law.
Information received today by J. H.
Sandell, assistant state bank commits
sioner was to the effect that Clyde B.
Crumb, president of the bank. as
sumed responsibility for the present
trouble. Crumb has been in active
charge of the bank. Troubles of the
institution started because of ten
dency to dabble in and handle paper
of oil spectators and promoters. 1t
is claimed that it was forced to accept
$4,000 worth of paper kited by oil
men.
The Pioneer State bank operated
under the state bank guaranty law.
The bank is solvent. according to a
statement made today by ]. H. Sandell,
assistant state bank commissioner.
A plan is under way at the present
time for the reorganization of the
bank.
There is nothing criminal in the
actions of Mr. Crumb and it is prob
able that the $4,000 in securities will
be replaced and the bank will be re-
opened soons" said Sandeu this after

new HEAT RECORD
Temperature Reached 104 De-
gree Mark at 8 O'clock Today.
Is Hottest September 1 on
Record in Topeka.
ToDAY.s TEMPERATURES.

Today was the hottest September
first on record in Topeka and the Sec
ond hottest day in the city this year.
The temperature hit the 1o4 degree
mark at o'clock this afternoon.
With the exception of August "a, when
the temperature reached 106 degrees,
the August sizzlers did not compare
with this hot September opener. The
big rise of the mercury at this sea-
son resulted from the clear skies and
hot winds from the southwest.
Topekans will meet with another
sleepless night tonight, the weather
man announces. There is apparently
no chance for the mercury to drop
below the seventy-five degree mark.
A continuation of the same weather
is promised for tomorrow, with the
temperature ranging between 95 and
100 degrees.
Nothing but a continuation of the
present variety of weather is in sight
says the weather man. The only pos
sibility of a change is a stray thunder
shower and that is unlikely. The sky
was clear today from Kansas west to
California, south to Galveston and
north 60 South Dakota. No cool
weather is possible in the near future
as the temperatures were high in the
northwest today.
A rain of .02 of an inch at lola was
the only precipitation in Kansas in
the last twenty-four hours.
The temperature averaged IL de-
grees above normal in Topeka in the
last twenty-four hours. The highest
Temperature in the city was 1o4 de-
grees at 8 o'clock this afternoon

washington, Sept. 1.-Leaders of
the striking shopmen win not abate
their attempts to make their strike
effective whatever action Is taken by
the court in Chicago as result of
injunction proceedings instituted by
Attorney General Daugherty, it was
said here today by w. H. Johnston,
president of the International Asso-
citation of Machinists, one of the
largest striking groups.
1.-The filing of this suit is just an
other blunder to be added to the large
list which the administration has al
ready made in dealing with the rail-
road situation" Mr.. Johnston said. "I
am surprised Mr.. Daugherty isn't at
tenn pting to restrain the railroads in
stead of the men. The administration
has done everything it could to help
tho railroad management"
Take More Than q Suit.
Mr. Johnston asserted that it would
take more than a mere injunction
suit or an injunction to prevent the
complete collapse of some of these
railroads in the next thirty days." and
added:
I'VE shall continue with the strike,
whatever happens. We are not afraid
of anything the courts can do. Men
still have some constitutional rights
IN America ana we Sna1I SIdnQ On
them"
Daugherty Moved Quietly.
Word of the court action begun in
Chicago had bomb shell effect
among labor leaders generally. and
there were many expressions of sur
prise among government officials
themselves. The secret of the con-
tenn plated action had been well kept
and the attorney general slipped out
of Washington with few of his close
associates knowing of his intention.
At the department of justice Off
cials would make no comment what
ever on the injunction proceedings,
saying the position of the government
was set forth fully in the petition
submitted at Chicago. Inquirers were
referred to President Hardings re-
cent address to congress in which he
pledged his administration to use "all
the power of the government to main
tain transportation and sustain the
right of men to work"
Gompers to Talk Later.
President Gompers of the American
Federation of labor, asked for all the
details about the Chicago proceedings
before he was willing to comment, but
indicated that the federation would
set before the public before the day
was over, its opinion of the use of the
injunction in connection with a strike
of the magnitude of that now in pro-
gress.
Officials of labor organizations in
the mean time pointed out that there
had been a "bushel of injunctions'
granted to railroads against local
strike organizations which they as
serted had in no way interfered with
the effectiveness of the strike. The
shopmen, according to the labor views,
