Unincorporated Banks
Must Pay Depositors

Lincoln, June III r. Hart.
secrtary of the department Of trade
and commerce. declared today that
failure of any state bank to file
articles of incorporation with the
secretary of state would not be an
excuse for refusal to pay depositors
In failed banks which have not taken
out such articles.
Hart asserts such procedure un-
doubtedly should be carried out as
long as a statute ordering such pro
cedure exists. However. in his opinion
incorporation OF banks with the state
department of trade and commerce Is
sufficient.
The question was raised by Charles
w. Pool, secretary Of state. who point
ed out that II banks which have
ignored the statute calling for incor.
poration In his Office are included In
the list of defunet Nebraska banks.

Fuller Resigns
as Official of
i. S. Fascist
For Good of Order" Assigned
as Reason for Former
Klansman Quitting
Organization.

Edgar l. Fuller. whose Ku Klux
Klan activities extended from Omaha
to the Pacific coast and who helped
organize the Fascist OF America, an
antI-klan organization. was deposed
as one of its officers and is no more
connected with the organization.
This became known Saturday when
Charles Clancy. national secretary.
announced that J. NJ. Swenson.
prominent attorney and wealthy real
estate man OF Burlington, Colo. was
named in Fuller's place.
Fuller resigned for the good Of
the order" was the only comment
made by Mr.. Clancy when asked why
the change"
Since Fuller severed his connections
with the organization that stands for
only American principles and ideals,
we have made a complete change in
the detail work" said Mr.. Clancy, who
stated that meetings were being ar
ranged now In every large city"
Clancy stated that the organization
would undertake to place a framed
COPY OF Ile gDES1tutlvu ol the 1HitEu
States in the home OF every member
Of the fascist and to place such
frame in every public building and
school.
The fascist. according 10 Clancy.
have taken on an exclusive American
front. that is. hs says, the names
hcfors and other foreign names Of the
organization have been changed
The grand liotor will be known as
the national chapter commander.
Thus the pople. he says. Will clearly
understand the names OF the offices
Of the men who will guide the des.
tines Of this organization.
This organization, said Clancy,
is in no way affiliated with any
foreign organization by this or any
other name. Fascist is derived from
the Latin word. "facto" meaning Ito
do" Therefore. the fascist members
are doers. and in this organization
they work for the preservation and
maintenance OF American ideals and
principles.
Clancy stated that Robert p. Starr,
attorney of Ravenna. Neh-. has been
added to the advisory council.

By Universal Service.

Berlin. June. IA general strike
of all workmen in Germany is being
urged by the radical unionists fol-
lowing the mob demonstrations in
Brandenburg yesterday, and extra po-
lice precautions are being taken today
in all industrial centers.
Radical leaders are sending out
propaganda and agents to all work
oenters in Germany in an effort TO
spread the strike. This action is not
considered as a protest against the
Ruhr occupation so much as a dem
onstration against capital.
Homes are Looted.
In Mulheim, the miners went out
on strike and the homes Of several
mine directors were looted by the
mobs. Some Of the men went back
to their jobs, when their demands
were met by the Industrial chiefs.
At Brandenburg. there was much
firing. but no casualties were reported.
The city IS quiet today.
