Saved when Deposits
Are Poured in
(By The Associated Press.)

MUSKOGEE, Okla, Feb. if-Civic or
ganizations and individuals who yester-
day promised their support in stemming
run on the Commercial National Bank,
were making good today.
When the bank opened for business a
long line of men and women stood be-
fore the receiving tellers' windows. Only
a few more we're on hand to demand
their money.
Officials of the bank, half an hour
after it opened, said that 800 was being
deposited for each dollar withdrawn.
Rumors, declared by officials Of the
bank as false and malicious were cir
culated early yesterday against the bank
and withdrawal Of deposits began in
the forenoon and reached a peak just be-
fore the closing hour. The run was
checked when D. n Fink president Of
the bank, pleaded with the throng in the
banks lobby and near the doors. Other
bankers Of the city declared that the in
stitution was entirely solvent and such
statement was signed by the directors
of the First National Bank.
The Commercial National Bank has
total deposits Of more than S4,000,000
and is the second largest in the city.

Thacher advanced on each other with

find the two men locked in an embrace
with Faulkner wounded. Thacher then
was shot and killed. Vance surrendered.

Attorney General Orders
Taxes Be Collie ted
And Interest Paid
Promptly on Security
-Bv The Associated Press J

AUSTIN, Tex, Feb. lick
as road district bonds which
have been issued and sold by
road districts and the proceeds
received and expended are legal
outstanding obligations and the
interest should be paid promptly
and matured bonds should be
taken care Of as they mature,
the attorney general ruled today.
The ruling was in a Letter to T. NJ.
Jordan, county attorney Of Hardin
county from G. A. Wheeler. assistant
attorney general. Validity Of the bonds
was Questioned since the United States
supreme court declared road District
tional
Jordan was asked by the Hardin
county treasurer whether he should
pay bonds now due, and stated that he
Rad advised the tax collector to con
tirue to collect taxes due on road dis
t1icts
'You are advised that this depart
ment concurs in the opinion you have
given % the county officials of your
county Nith regard to the payment of
interest due and--matnref bvi.as of
road districts Of the county, SAID the
ruling.
No road district in Texas was a
party to the suit before the supreme
court in the case known as the Archer
county bond case. except road district
number 2, Archer county, and he,ce no
other road district in Texas is directly
affected BY that opinion. Bonds which
have been issued and sold BY road dis
tricts and the proceeds received and
expended are legal outstanding obliga
tions of the district and interest should
be promptly paid as it falls due and ma
tured bonds should be taken care Of as
they mature. In paying interest due
and matured bonds Of road districts
the county treasurer will Be doing just
what the law Of the state authorizes
him To 40 and in 50 doing he will in
.ur no personal liability"
This opinion affects between S75,000.-
900 and $100.0O9,000 IN Texas road
bonds and is the basis of the nation
for rehearing case before the United
States supreme court Of the Archer
county bond which is to be filed in
Washington not later than Saturday.
