in FINISH FIGHT AID TO BANK FUND
Supreme Court Shifts RESPONSE
biIity S125,OOO Certificates.
Holders Kansas State Bank Pa
per Must Take Own Risk.

The Kansas supreme court today
held that s125.OOO worth of certifi-
Gates of deposit issued by the Kansas
State Bank, of Salina, were not to be
charged against the state bank guar
anty fund. Under the decision the
holders of these certificates will share
in the assets of the bank but will lose
whatever amount they are unable to
obtain from these assets.
The Fourth National bank at Wich-
ita owned $4,000 of the certificates;
the American State Bank at Wichita
owned an equal amount; and the
Aetna Trust and Savings Bank, of In
dianapolis, Ind, was trustee for S25,-
600 worth of the certificates. The
certificates held by the Fourth Ma
to pay for ranch in New Mexico
which Felix Broeker and H. j. Lef-
ferdink, cashier of the Kansas State
Bank, had purchased
The financial operation in connec-
ton with the ranch was expected by
Broker and Lefferdink to make them
a large sum of money personally anu
put the Kansas State bank into the
solvent class The bank had been in
financial trouble for a long time and
was then under the supervision of
the state bank commissioner and all
of the certificates of deposit were is
sued with the approval of the bank
commissioner. In the opinion JUS
tee Burch. of the supreme court,
said that sit appeared that Felix
Broeker was attempting to make an
altitude record in financial AVIATION.
The certificates of the American
! State bank were supposed to be issued
to pay off the certificates held by the
Fourth National bank. but there was
bonus of $4,000 paid on this deal.
Not Protected by Law.
In its decision the court held that
certificates of deposit were, in ef-
feet, not ordinary negotiable instru-
ments 1t also held that they could
not be protected under the bank guar
anty law where it was shown that
the bank itself did not receive the
actual deposits, or where a bo-
nus had been paid which tend
ed to raise the interest rate
above the legal limit. Under the
law certificates of deposit bearing
more then per cent interest can
not be p1 protected. While all of these
certificates carried interest at 4 per
raised the interest above this limit. 1t
also was shown that additional Sc
curity had been required for these
certificates and this also removed
them from the protection OF the guar
anty law.
The court held that the innocent
purchasers of certificates were not
protected by the guaranty law because
the certificates in the hands of inno-
cent purchasers had no greater stand
ing than when they were issued.

New York, Feb. 11.-State and

nounced they had begun a fight to the

state in the Union who entrusted their

few weeks.
Twenty-Five brokerage firms. the
majority of them members of the ring,

pected to return indictments against
several prominent firms that have
