BANK STATUS
Judge Kneeshaw to Hear
Progress on Reopening

Grand Forks, Jan. 3O-District
Judge w. j. Kneeshaw of Grafton,
before whom the recent injunction
hearing of the Peoples State bank
was heard, will be in Grand Forks
during the coming week in connec-
tion with legal phases of the pro-
posed reopening of the bank, ac-
cording to information given out
by members of the bank finance
committee recently.
1t is expected that some definite
plan will be put forward to open the
defunct bank at that time, in ac-
cOrdance with the decision rendered
by Judge Kneeshaw at the Deccm.
Der hearing, in which he i1eld the
matter, in abeyance for 40 days in
the hope that the stockholders Of
the bank, John Valley, receiver,
and other interested persons might
evolve plan for reopening the in.
stitution.
The finance committee, which was
appointed soon after the December
hearing, has been working on a plan
for reopening the bank and it is un-
derstood that the plan only needs
the confirmation of Judge Knee
shaw as to its legal status, to be
put in operation. No definite an

WARRANTS0F
SCHOOL DISTS.
Senate Passes Bill to Help
Out Those Beyond the
Legal Limit
PRINTING BILL BACK

The North Dakota senate yesterday
afternoon passed one bill and after
, considerable argument re-referred
another to committee for further con-
sideration.
The bill passed as Senate Bill 6S,
which is to validate the acts of GER
tain school districts in issuing war
rants beyond the legal limit. In
several cases it appears the districts
acted in good faith, and the present
bill, if it passes the house will legal
ize these acts.
There was warm argument over
S. B. 81 introduced by Senator Por-
ter of Cavalier county which would
fix the rates on legal printing. SEN
ator Gross of Grant county objected
to the passage of the bill claiming
that the rates could be cut still fur
ther than the bill provides and still
leave a margin of profit for the print
er.
Senator Estestad pointed out that
the bill would mean saving on pub
lie printing of from 80 to so per
cent.
81 know the printing business pref
ty thoroughly" said Senator Ploy
har, and l have been through this
bill carefully. I think we should
pass it without wasting any more
time referring it to committees"
The motion to re-refer the bill %
committe was declared passed. Sen
ator Ployhar then asked for roll
call with the same result.
Only five bills were introduced in
the senate this afternoon. One Of
these introduced by Senator Martin
of Morton county is another attempt
to lower the maximum rate of inter
est permitted under the state law to
eight per cent. Any higher rate
than this is declared to be usury, and
violation of the law would make the
person or firm guilty Of charging the
excessive rate liable to lose the to-
tai amount of interest due on the ac-
count in question.
Senate Bill 21O, Peterson, provides
that in cases where roads run over
coal seems they may be condemned
if necessary to get at the coal be-
meath. S. B. 212, McLachlin permits
village treasurers to publish their
reports by posting in some conspicu-
Gus place. S. B. 213, steel merely
adds to the powers of the state game
and fish commission in the matter Of
protecting fish.
A meeting of the senate commit
tee on banks and banking had been
scheduled for this afternoon for fur
ther conference with the guaranty
fund commission but as several of
the members were unable to be there
merely routine bills were taken up.

Earl of Balfour Declares
MOsul Oil Problem for

Paris, Jan. 3O.--The dispute be

over the 1rak frontier involving the

brought before the council of the
league of nations today by the Ear
of Balfour.. The council took no ac
tion in the matter as it was await
ing an indication from the Turks as
to whether they would accept tn q
league jurisdiction.
Mosul, said Lord Balfour, was a
question for the league to consider,
because lrak was inundated terri

territory in behalf of the League of
Nations.
Menace to Peace
The question furthermore was OF

he thought Article II of the league
covenant might give the Turks ap
prehension that they mighxsupEFbe

Turks Fear Article
Lord Balfour said he had infor-

that under this article the council
might place obligations of infer:cri-

council it was the desire of the Brit

GUARANTYFUND
IN NEBRASKA
isl DEPLETED
Draw on Heavily During the
Past Year Because of
Closed Banks

Lincoln, Neb., Jan. 30.-State
banks are frankly concerned about
the future of the state deposit guar
anty fund. The demands upon the
state banks during the last year to
pay off the depositors in failed in
stitutions have been so great that
none of the solvent institutions has
been able to earn anything, while
the weaker ones are made still
weaker by the losses they have sus-
tanned through these payments.
The contribution of each bank is
determined by the amount of it's de-
posits, and the drain on the larger
banks has led the owners seriously
to contemplate naturalization. We're
it not, for certain obstacles of the
law this policy would be followed.
Secretary ]. E. Hart, head of the
banking department, has advised
against naturalization because he
believes it would mean the collapse
of the guaranty, which would bring
about crisis in banking circles
that might prove disastrous to a
number of banks. He says that while
it is fairly certain the mortality
among state banks this, year will
continue rather large, none of the
failures will be of large magnitude
or make large drafts of the fund.
In order to fortify the fund from
disaster bankers are urging the
Legislature to adopt amendments
that will exempt time deposits fro n
the guaranty and that will postpone
the payment of depoPitors until
after partial collection has been
made of a failed banks assets. A
state organization of bankers has
been ope rating to save the fund from
unusual drafts. 1t buys the best
paper from the failed banks in order
to provide part of the fund for pay.
