ASK LAW BE HELD INVALID
Attorneys for Valentino in New Move
Over Bigamy Charge.

Los Angeles. June 1.-An attack on
the constitutionality of the law under
which Rodolph Valentino, film star,
was arrested for bigamy, will be made
by his attorneys today when he is
given his preliminary hearing before
Justice Handy.
Valentines attorneys will contend
that the law is unconstitutional be-
cause 1t gives the state power to prose-
cute for an alleged offense committed
outside the states jurisdiction.
The charge against Valentino was
brought on the ground that he mar
ried Winifred Hudnut, know as Nata-
cha Rambova in dancing circles, in
Mexico before his decree of divorce
from his first wife, Jean Acker. be-
came final.

Plans Made to Redistribute
Large Portion of Surplus.
INCREASE CAPITAL TO S5OOOOO
Devote Entire Attention to
Surety and Bond Business.
e. E. Ames of Topeka Is Presi-
dent of Present Firm.

Plans for reorganization of the
Bankers Deposit Guaranty & Surety
company of Topeka as the Kansas
Bankers Surety company became
known here today. The corporation
plans to redistribute $125,0Oo of its
special dividend. It will increase its
present paid-up capital of 1913. 600 to
100000 or 100000 and will main
tain a 100000 surplus.
The corporation, which is thirteen
years old, was organized originally for
the purpose of handling bond and
surety business and providing national
bankers in Kansas with private cor
poration protection of deposits similar
to that afforded under the state bank
guaranty law. In the last few years
the deposit guaranty feature has been
largely abandoned. The new corpor-
alton will devote its entire attention to
the surety and bonding business.
Large Dividends Paid.
In securing its original charter the
company was forced to mandamus J.
n. Dolley, then state bank commits
sioner, to compel his approval of a
charter. The company has paid large
dividends and under the reorganiza-
the present stock will be made.

of the present stock issue. Under
present plans a majority of the banks
III the state Will become Interested III
the corporation as a method of reduc-
ing bond and surety expenses. 1t was
stated today that some 200 of the
1,40O state and national banks are
now interested in the company. Pres
ent officers of the company believe a
considerable majority of the Kansas
banks will be ultimately interested in
the corporation which is to continue
its offices and headquarters in To-
peka.
To Increase Capital.
A special dividend will be paid to
present stockholders at an early date.
At that time the net earnings of the
present calendar year as well as $125,-
900 of the 1925, 900 surplus will be dis
tributed. It is then proposed to in
crease the capitalization and reorgan-
ize as the Kansas Bankers Surety
company.
Officers of the Bankers Deposit
Guaranty & Surety company include:
E. E. Ames, Topeka, president; Willis
]. Bailey, Atchison; W. H. Burks,
