surplus, $4,000, and undivided profits
The bank was formerly used as de-
pository for Prince Georges County
funds. Word reached Marlboro several
DAYS ago. however, that all was not we'll,
and the county commissioners, not Will
ing to take any chances with the peo-
Piles money, withdrew the countys
funds from both the Seat Pleasant and
Marlboro branches.
The commissioners are said to have
first withdrawn $4,000 from the Seat
Pleasant branch and a few days later
to have withdrawn $4,000 from the
Marlboro Bank, when bonding con-
pany which covered the funds withdrew
the bond.
In an executive session a few days
ago the commissioners were assured by
representatives of the bank that 1t was
solvent.
It was learned that it was further
decided at the commissioners executive
session that the county's funds with
drawn from the Southern Maryland
Trust Co. would be redeposited If the
bank could post a new bond.
The closing of the bank was the
second major development In the bank
ing situation of Prince Georges County
within a month. On November 16 the
First National Bank of Mount Rainier
was consolidated with the Prince
GEORGES Bank, following the arrest of the
cashier, Clarence L. Schatz, OF the
former institution on an embezzlement
charge. The shortage in this case was
reported to be around $4,000.
Word that the Seat Pleasant Bank
was in trouble spread through the COM
munity today, and by noon about a
hundred persons had visited the bank
with checks. They were permitted to
enter and then informed that no busi-
ness was being transacted.

NEXT MOVE TEXAS
IN GALES DISPUTE
States Answer to Threat of
U. S. of Armed Protection
Is Due Today.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LAREDO, Tex, December 14.-The
next word in the debate between the
Federal Government and the State of
Texas as to whether Gen. Plutarco
Elias Gales will face arrest when he
passes through Laredo en- route to Mex
leo some time next week was expected
today from John A. Walls, district at
tcrney here.
Walls yesterday deferred until after
Friday the 18th" his answer TO threat
of the State Department that Gales,
former President of Mexico, who now
is in New York, would be protected by
armed force if necessary.
II Has Warrant for Gales.
The sheriff here has a warrant for
Gales arrest, charging conspiracy in
the deaths of Gen. Lucio Blanco and
Col. Aurelio Martinez, whose bodies,
handcuffed together, were found in the
Rio Grande in 1922.
Official notice that the American
Government would use armed force to
protect Gales was served on Walls by
Richard Boyce, American consul at
Nuevo Laredo, across the border, after
the district attorney advised the Secre-
tary of State that Gales would need
an official certificate attesting his Dip
lomatic immunity. Gales already has
a Mexican diplomatic passport vised by
this Government.
This advice was in a letter to the
Department of State, which said in part
that If Gales were able to produce "a
certificate from the Secretary of State,
under the great seal of that Office. at
testing diplomatic immunity, he will be
allowed to proceed unmolested."
otherwise" the letter continued,
"the law will take its course as in
ordinary cases."
Wants Even More Evidence.
Although Walls was advised that
Gales has been granted diplomatic i'm
munity and that his passport from
Mexico Is recognized by the President,
he apparently held that he wanted even
more convincing evidence, as he re-
iterated in his letter to the Department
of State, his demand for "a certificate
from the Secretary of State" and de-
clared the departments explanation of
Gales immunity was too vague for a
direct answer" as to whether or not he
would molest Gales.
Walls charged that Gen. Alvaro Obre-
gon, assassinated President, was impli-
Gated in the deaths of the two Mexican
officers. Recently two Texans-Duke
Carver constable at San Antonio, and
Allen Walker, former United States
marshal-were indicted by the Webb
County grand jury on the same charge.

the day. He also was assigned to the
committees on Indian affairs and in
valid pensions.

of Allgood's State. He left Washington
for Chicago a short while before the
