THREE STATES
PROTECT BANKS
Pennsylvania, Arkansas and
Ohio Take Legal Action
on Withdrawals.
BY United Press

Three states, Pennsylvania, Ohio
and Arkansas, authorized emergency
banking status Monday night, hur-
riedly passing legislation which en-
ables banks to limit Withdrawals by
depositors
In Maryland, bankers and legisla-
tors were unable to agree on the
form of similar legislation, and the
bank holiday declared by Governor
Albert c. Richie, scheduled to end
Wednesday, was expected to be eX-
tended until Thursday, to give time
for legislative action.
In Pennsylvania, both houses OF
the legislature passed and Governor
Clifford Pinchot promptly signed a
bill permitting the state secretary
of banking to impose arbitrary
limits on the percentage of deposits
which any bank may pay.
Two bills were damned through
the Ohio legislature at night seS-
sion, and Governor George White
signed them at once.
One authorizes the state super
intendent of banks to limit with
drawals from any bank for sixty
days if he considers the action
necessary. The limitation may be
extended for further sixty-day pc
RODS.
The other, designed to speed
liquidation of banks forced to close,
permits the superintendent of bank
ing to take charge of any insti-
tuition after adoption of a resolu-
ton by the directors requesting such
action.
The Arkansas Legislature passed
its limitation law Monday and the
governor signed it Monday night
The clearing house association of
Little Rock promptly authorized six
banks there to limit Withdrawals to
5 per cent for an indefinite period.

ALBANY. N. Y, Aug. 2. (UP).
The $4,000 ransom which kidnap-
ers received for release of Lieut..
John J. O'Connell. Jr.. is marked
and can easily be traced. it was
learned definitely last night.
Louis Snyder, an Albany attor-
ney, who acted as counsel for
Nanny Strewel, the intermediary,

The first batch of ransom,
drawn from an Albany bank and
cleverly marked, was accepted by
the abductors and placed in a
New York City bank. Later, how
ever, they withdrew $4,000 in
different denomination bills after
detecting the marked currency.
The second batch of marked
money, authorities believe, eS-
capped them.
Strewel. it was learned, is in
