Troubles of Number of State
Institutions Taken Up.

General banking conditions in Kan
sas are being discussed this afternoon
at a conference which Governor Allen
is holding with Frank II. Foster, state
bank commissioner. The closing this
week of the Traders State bank at

have caused concern in the state
house. As a consequence plans for
more rigid examinations and super
vision of financial institutions are be-
ing considered. The fact that men
declared to be responsible for a num-
ber of the failures have not been
prosecuted is another matter which
may be taken up in the conference in
the governors office.

the meeting with Commissioner Foster
until after the conference. 1t was
stated. tho. that the general banking
situation would be reviewed Questions
as to bank loans. securities and meth
