but we would have had to do some
shooting" Myers said. I'VE chose

town, got warrants and went out the
next night and served them"
Charges of assault with deadly
weapons with intent to xii! were
drawn up, he said and liquor
charge placed against Kersehman.

PLANS MADE TO
TURN BANK TO
ITS employees
Bank of Italy, Largest in Cal
ifOrnia, TO Be Given
Over Under Plan

San Francisco, Calf, Oct. 17.-(By
the A. PD-Twenty years ago A. +,
Giannini, commission merchant, gave
his business, then one of the largest
of it's kind, to his employees. Today
he was ready to resign as president
of the Bank of Italy as the first
move in plan to permit the 2,2OC
employees of CALIFORNIA; largest fin
ancial institution to take over con-
troll of the bank.
The board Of directors of the in
stitution yesterday approved the
plan proposed by Mr.. Giannini.
As a preliminary move, Mr.. Clan
mini is to retire from the presidency
of the $35O,OO0,OOO bank and Jamcs
A. Baoigalupi, the present senior
vice-president, is to succeed him as
head of the organization.
The Bank Of Italy is among the
seven largest banking corporations in
the United States. 1t has approx.
mately 100000 depositors and SO
branches throughout California
Giannini, who founded the bank 20
years ago, and who first proposed
the plan of giving the bank to the
employees, will continue to act as
chairman of the banks executive
committee and financial committee.
The plan calls for the obtaining of
a controlling block of stock by active
employees, change in the list of Of
ficers and the directorate at least
every five years to allow promotion
of these officers from the banks en-
ployes and the full protection of the
rights and potential earnings of the
$4,000 stockholders. The bank has
$17,5OO,O00 in stock outstanding and
an actual strength of $15,0O0,O0O.

RE0PENING OF
BANKS IS HELP
TO DEP0SlT0RS
Those Having Claims on
Other Closed Banks Gain
BY This Work of State


The policies of the Guaranty Fund
Commission and the State Banking
Department during the past year
(and half, the most crucial period
in the history of the banking busi-
ness in North Dakota, has reduced
the liabilities of the Depositors
Guaranty Fund Commission by to-
tai of $4,22s, ,lO4.s4, through the re-
opening of banks, in the belief of
officials responsible for the policies.
It is pointed out that each time
bank closes, the deposits become
a liability of the Depositors Guar
anty Fund Commission, and since
that commission has not, and will
not for years, have sufficient funds
to pay all depositors, the reopening
of one of these closed banks in
creases the dividend it is possible
to pay to the depositors of banks
that cannot be reopened.
The Depositors Guaranty Fund
Commission and State Banking De-
partment, with faith in the future
of the state and acting under the
bank administration act of July l.,
1923, endeavored to keep many
banks open and to reopen many
closed banks. Thirtyone of the
closed banks in the state, having
deposits totalling $4,22s,104.s4 have
reopened for office. Several more
banks are scheduled to reopen with
in the next month, so that it is ex-
pected that within short time
banks having total deposits of over
ST, 100000 will have reopened. With
the liability of the Guaranty Fund
Commission to depositors of closed
banks reduced this much, it will be
able to pay larger dividends as as
sessments on open banks are re-
ceived.
The bank administration act of
July 1, 1923, made it possible for
the Commission to use some of its
funds in an effort to keep banks
open or to reopen banks. The COM
mission, according to C. B. McMil-
Ian, member, felt that under the
law it could not use all of the funds.
But it applied enough, in his opin-
ion, to make possible the reopening
of many banks and the keeping open
of many. While virtually all Of the
Depositors Guaranty Fund money so
invested was amply secured and is
being returned, the depositors of
closed banks would have gained if
the commission had lost hundreds
of thousands of dollars, it is point
ed out. They gain through the re-
duction of the liability to depositors
and advancing the time of payment
to them.

A scene rivaling the stories of "re-
venuers" and moonshine raids in
southern hills was enacted on the
North Dakota prairies in Hettinger
county Monday, according to the
story related by F. c. Myers, deputy
state license inspector, Attorney
Generals office.
Three officers intent on enforcing
the prohibition law were met with
the threat that they could not enter
a farm house to capture liquor and
hope to come out alive. The threat
was backed by a revolver in the
hands of a 19-year-old youth and a
sharp-pointed auto spring in the
hands of an elderly lady. with her
husband also making threats.
The scene occurred when Myers,
Federal officer Harrison Carter and
a Deputy Sheriff Slate went to the
home of Fred Kereshman in Hettin-
ger county and read him search war
rant. One officer found two legal
lon kegs of moonshinc in the base
ment of the house and then came out
to report, Myers said. Immediately,
he continued, boy, about 10, brand
