Barry shrugged.

sCAND. BANK PROBE PLANNED
Arrest of Townley and Hastings Are
On Charges Gust Scratching
Surface"

A grand juryj probably will be
called in Cass county to delve into
the affairs Of the Scandinavian Amer
lean bank as a part Of the joint in
vestigation of Cass county authori-
ties and the Attorney Generals de-
rartment.
Attorney General Sveinbjorn John
son says that application probably
would be made for the calling of the
grand jury at Fargo.
Although Attorney General John
son is reticent upon matters connect
ed with the Townley and Hastings
arrests and declines to comment on
them stating that he does not wish
to appear to be trying lawsuits in
newspapers, state officials generally
take the attitude that the Townley
and Hastings charges are "just
scratches on the surface" of the af-
fairs Of the Scandinavian American
bank.
It is known that an exhaustive au.
dit Of the bank was made by auditors
employed by the receiver, who now is
Ole Engen, and it was reported by
one Investigator that j. j. Hastings,
when vice president, issued $13O,OOO
of certificates of deposit in one day
to the Nonpartisan league without
approval of the board of directors or
discount committee for the loan thus
negotiated and without collateral or
deposit from the league.
Reports have been circulated that
Is or 16 men formerly active in the
Nonpartisan league would be arrest
ed. Reports from Fargo say leaguers
are expecting many arrests. Officials
here decline to comment.
A. c. Townley will be arrested on
the embezzlement charge next week
when released from Jackson county
Jail, Minnesota. J. j. Hastings has
not yet been located. There was a
report that he would voluntarily re-
turn to Fargo.

FARM LOANS TO BEG1N SOON
Over $2,0o0,ooo of Applications For
Farm Loans Are Now ON Hand II

Money on farm mortgages will be
gin to go out almost any time from
the Farm Loan Department Of the
Bank Of North Dakota. Any one Of
several seekers for money may be
the first to receive money on a pro-
posed loan, according to w. B. De-
Nault, head Of the department. The
first money will be for the prospect
who first gets his papers on some
loans already passed upon, to the
farm loan department in the proper
shape. The department is anxious to
get started in the actual making Of
loans so as to begin the turnover Of
mortgages to the state treasurer.
New applications in answer to the
recent circular sent out have been
rolling into the Office Of the farm
lean manager in a steady stream for
the last few days. All the corners
Of the state are represented in the
new requests but many Of the high
totals come from the western part of
the state, Mclean county leading at
the present time, while another west
sern county, Billings, has failed to
ask for loan. ..
Appraisal Of lands for the new
loans will be made under Frank
E. Curry Of Finley, N. D. Mr.. Curry
has been in the employ of the Fed
Seral Farm Land Bank Of st. Paul
since the organization Of that institu-
tion and is loaned by them to the
North Dakota Farm Loan department
Mr.. Curry has spent large amount
Of time in farm loan work and is es-
3pecially valuable because of his know
ledge Of North Dakota conditions.
The total amount cf new requests
received January I to the end Of Jan
uary Is, the day Mr.. Curry took over
the work Of appraisals was $2,20s,-
