PLEASED WITH BANKING DEPT.
Commissioner Foster Not to Blame for
Existing Conditions.

Governor Allen is well pleased with
the work of the state banking depart
ment, according to statement which
he issued following a conference with
Frank H. Foster. state bank comuis-
sioner. He asserted that none of the
blame for existing conditions could be
attached to the state department
I'm the first place. Governor Allen
said, ''the state bank com missioner
has no power to prosecute. That is a
state action and must be brought by
the county attorney in the county
where such criminal mismanageme nt
is alleged. I do find. however. that
the state bank commissioner, f. H.
Foster, has turned over to county at
toEneys in every case all the evidence
and other data in his possession which
could be used in prosecuting these
cases.
'T have just gone over the whole
list of bank failures with Mr.. Foster
aud find that in many cases charges
have been brought against bankers
and in several cases high officials of
banks in the state have been convict
ed. In other cases trials are still
pending in the district courts.
In many cases the officials in
volved have restored the money and
the county attorneys find it difficult
to get the persons to whom the prop
erty was restored to file their COM
plants and go thru with the prosecu-
ton once they recover their property
This is one of the reasons for failure
to carry thru the prosecution and OBJ
tain convictions in a few cases."

NEW RULE WON'T HURT GAME.
Mike Ahearn at "A. S. A. c. Com

Manhattan, Kan, March 1S.-"The
elimination of the formal goal kick,
following a touchdown, will not ma
terially affect the game-in fact Will
make scarcely any change" said Mike
Ahearn. athletic director OF. the Kan
sas State Agricultural college, in dis
cussing the new rule recently adopted
by the national football rules commit
tee. Under the new regulation fol-
lowing a touchdown, the teams will
line up five yards in front of the goal,
the team having made the touchdown
possessing the ball. 1t is entitled to
one attempt to score by any method
it sees fit and if successful, gains one
point-the same credit carried by the
goal kick under the old rules.
THE fact Isl said Ahearn. that
instead of formally kicking goal. the
team with the ball will in all proba-
bility try for a goal with a place kick.
1t will add some interest to the game,
