 SAYS BALDERSTON
PRESIDENT BALDERSTON DE- CLARES NO NECESSITY TO
 CLOSE HERE FOUR DAYS

The Bank of Seward received a telegram Sunday from the Terri torial Banking Board at Juneau advising that Gov. George A. Parks had proclaimed a Territorial bank ing holiday, from Monday, March 6 to the 9th inclusive, pending legislation action, at the option of banks, the proclamation not being mandatory.
 President H. s. Balderston of the Bank of Seward wired Gov. Parks Sunday that he saw no reason for remaining closed for four days as there is no local emergency ex- isting. and that it would generally disrupt the course of business, and that his institution would remain open.
 MUST BE OBEYED
 However, President Roosevelt's Sunday evening mandatory pro- clamation for a national banking holiday from Monday to Thursday inclusive must be obeyed and leaves no alternative but to close for the specified time.
 President Balderston regrets that previous announcement could not have been made, but the pro- clamation was entirely unexpected here. He further said that Sew ard is in an excellent financial condition, especially considering the situation in the States, and trusts the patrons of the Bank will not be too much inconven- fenced by the four days suspension of business. The Bank will reopen for business as usual on Friday morning.

Power of the Indiana High School
Athletic Association to set up and
enforce arbitrary rules for prep
athletes was challenged today in a
suit on file in Marion county SUI
perior court.
Plaintiffs in the case include DR..
Henry F. Noting, father of Henry
Noting Jr., center on the Short
ridge high school football team; OFT
Birr, father of James Birr, right
end on the team, and George B.
Cannon, father of Willard Cannon,

The three football players were
among several ShOrtridge, Tech,
Southport, Manual, Washington and
Cathedral high school athletes who
were declared ineligible for high
school athletics until Jan. 1, 1884,
because they participated in indie
pendent basketball games after the
close of the regular high school bas-
ketball season last spring.
The I. H. S. A. A. rule alleged to
have been violated says:
Cali students who participate in
basketball after the state final tour
ney or after the season has closed
in their high school, on teams other
than their own high school teams
within the school, lose their eligibil-
ity in all athletics until Jan. l of the
next year and also jeopardize the
standing Of their school in the
I. H. S. A A"
The suit asks for immediate re-
inStatement of Birr, Cannon and
Noting. 1t demands that a tenn
porary restraining order against Ar
thur L. Trester, commissioner of the
I. H. S. A. A., and members of the
board of control of the association,
be granted Immediately to prevent
them from enforcing the disbar-
mentS.
The complaint asks that upon
final hearing of the case, perma-
nent injunction against the enforce
ment of the rule be granted against

Ross won during the closing

Canzoneri's large army Of follow
