TWO IMPORTANT
BANKING BILLS.
ARE PRESENTED
Would Put Limit on Guaran-
teed Deposits and Permit
Collateral as Security

Four bills, two Of them important
banking laws, were introduced in the
state senate late Saturday afternoon.
Senator Walter Bond, Ward county,
introduced a measure putting an end
to the operation Of the present de-
positors guaranty fund law. The bills
provides that no deposits of banks
shall be guaranteed under the guar
anty fund law after Dec. 81, 1927, but
up to that time the act shall continue
in full effect. No banks would be
relieved by the repeal Of the act from
any liability incurred to depositors in
banks now closed or that shall be
closed prior to Dec. 81, 1927. It is
not designed to repeal the guaranty
fund law, but limits the time up to
which deposits are guaranteed.
A bill permitting hanks to put up
bonds, warrants or bills receivable as
security for deposit of public funds
in lieu of a security bond or to pledge
such assets for the purpose of obtain
ing surety bond for public deposits.
was introduced by Senator p. J.
McLachlin, Cass county. The bill was
drawn up to aid banks which do not
feel justified in going to the ex-
pensc provided by a surety bond. 1t
carries an emergency clause.
For Bridge at Grand Forks
Appropriation Of $4,000, to be used
in aiding the construction of bridge
over the Red River at Grand Forks
was introduced by Senator w. S.
Whitman, Grand Forks county. The
funds would be taken from the state
highway fund as part Of q federal aid
project. This bill also carries an
emergency clause.
Senator ]. C. Forbes, Richland
county, introduced bill amending
the law which provides that when a
township is sued, the chairman Of the
township board must attend to the
defense and submit the matter to the
electors of the township for their
direction. According to Senator
Forbes. this is impractical because the
answer to the suit must be filed long
before, the meeting Of the electors
could be called. The amendment
would authorize the board to attend
to the defense.

FOREIGNERS
ARE CARRYING
AT SHANGHAI
CO0lie MObs Successful in
Driving British and Ameri-
cans From HankOw
SITUATION IS QUIET
Sem Of tho Women Refugees
Are Compelled TO Submit 10
Many Indignities

Shanghai, Jan. lO--lN-Arrival Of
American and other refugees here
from Hankow and points up the
Yangtxe river, illustrated to the out.
aide world today how the Chinese
dragon, with some of the character
istic clustering that. marked the
Boxer uprising &c years ago, has
shaken the foreigners from his back.
Shanghai was the goal Of all refu-
gees as the anti-fOrcign situation re-
manned in an uncertain state. The
accomplishment of coolie mobs, in
driving British and American citizens
from Hankow and Kiukiang, is said
to have reflected to the credit of the
Cantonese faction, which controls
that section of the Yangtze valley,
and may win certain elements in the
north over to the southern cause.
In the light Of this development,
there has been talk that the Peking
government, defending itself against
the ever.northward march of the
Canton forces, may take over the
foreign concessions of Tientsin, in an
attempt to demonstrate also its pow.
er to rid China of outside elements.
W NUSI1U0 TUT
The foreign colony at kiukiang was
the last to fall. Stories reaching
here today indicate the British and
others withstood the threats of mobs
for hours beofre being taken aboard
ships and put under way downstream.
Dispatches last night said the stu
alton at Hankow, which has been
evacuated by the British and many
A snt hat -
Canton government had allowed the
British to take control of the native
police in that quarter of the city
while negotiations continued among
English, American and Cantonese Of
ficials for reopening of business
houses.
A ship bearing GO American refu-
gees from HankOw, arrived here last
night with her upper deck shielded
with sheets of iron and sandbng
barricades as precaution against
having to run a gauntlet Of fire on
her way down the river. The ship
had been placed at the disposal Of
Americans in Hankow by a British
commander there.
Women Insulicd
Some of the women refugees re-
ported that they had been compelled
to submit to series Of indignities
which were heaped upon British
women when they left the colony the
day previous to the Amemican exc
dus. Coolies threw bricks and spat
, at them while they boarded the ship.
The powers have made it known
that they will defend Shanghai in
case trouble develops there.

other defendants growing out of the
disappearance case, were dismissed
here in superior court today on mo-
tion of District Attorney Asa Keycs.
District Attorney Keyes, in request
ing dismissal of the charges against
Mrs. Mcpherson, reiterated his
charges that she had left here in the
company of Kenneth G. Ormiston, her
former radio operator, and not in the
hands Of kidnapers, as Mrs. McPher-
son stsadfastly declared.
Keyes Gives Reason
Keyes set forth his reason. for ask
ing. the dismissal in the following
statement read to the court:
"The prosecution of Mrs. .McPhe RS on
was started upon the theory that a
crime against the laws of the state of
California had ben committed.
Evidence was laid before me which
tended to show that after Mrs. Nc
Pherseh had gone to Carmel and re-
turned with an unreasonable story of
kidnapping. she and others had ihduc-
ed Mrs. Lorraine -Sielaff to
produce false testimony or evidence,
in the nature pf. an alibi for the Car
mel escapade.
"The chief evidence llid before me
was the testimony Of Mrs. Sislaff.
Without her testimony, proof Of the
alleged conspiracy. is now impossible.
Since the preliminary hearing Of Mrs.
Mcpherson, Mrs.. Sielaff has changed
her story almost daily until it now
contains so many contradictions and
Inconsistencies to the one given in
court that she has become n witness
for whose truth or credibility no
