Of BANK
"SECUR|NGS''
ORDERED
Commercial DepositOrs Have
Chance to Recover From us.
Agencies $2,343,3z7
By EUGENE A. Kelly

Possibility that depositorsiin the
closed Commercial National Bank
will receive thousands of dollars
they had not anticipated loomed
today.
The Treasury Department has
ordered an investigation to deter.
mine what funds the receiver for
the bank can recover from Federal
agencies which were paid off in
full when the bank failed. Ord1'
nary depoSitors were paid off only
so per cent Of their savings
Fleet Corporation Secured
It has been disclosed by this
newspaper that at least one Fed
eral agency. the United States
Shipping Board Merchant Fleet
Corporation, had its deposits pro-
tected in full by collsteral amount
ing to 1888 ,377.08. Officials OF
the Shipping Board have admitted
they had no authority to demand
that their deposits be secured.
A recent decision Of the United
States Supreme Court makes it
possible for the receiver Of the
bank, Robert c. Baldwin, to re-
cover these funds.
The Treasury Department an
nounced today that the closed
bank had "large deposits of the
United States and it's agencies Sc
cured by collateral"
At Least Two Others
That Treasury authorities them
selves are not sure that the Sc
curing of these Federal deposits
was a legal transaction Is evil
denced by the fact that they
have ordered an investigation.
After a thorough investigation
the receiver of the bank will be
instructed what action, if any,
he must take to secure this
money for equal distribution to
the depositors.
The Alien Property Custodian
had deposits in the bank totaling
about 100000. The deposits were
fully protected by security put
up by the bank. Authorities for
the Panama Canal had deposits
aggregating about $500,000, all of
which was secured.
Possible Recovery Admitted
Tacit admission that the recent
decision of the Supreme Court
may result in recovery Of these
funds by the receiver was seen
in this statement of the Treasury
Department:
Subsequent to the decisions
Of the Supreme Court Of the
United States, the receiver and
his attorneys presented to the
Comptroller Of the Currency
the possibility that the pledges
Of collateral to secure certain
Of these deposits might be
avoided under these decisions.
'When the examination Of
the legal questions involved,
now being made, Is concluded,
the receiver will be instructed
as to the action to be taken in
these matters, II any,"

Scores Of women and children
took part in the siege, which was
witnessed from the administration
building by formers Governor Wal

company, and other plant off

Halt Coal Car
The rioting eliminated a day Of
lesser disorders in which IS depu
ties crashed through the picket
lines surrounding the plant to
convoy a carload Of coal neceS'
sary to keep the village water sys

had previously turned the coal
shipment back in violation of an
agreement between the striking
union men and the Kohler com
pany.
Sheriff zehms enlisted 800 more
deputies as reenforcements when
further trouble threatened. A cal
for aid was issued by the strikers
and hundreds responded from sur
rounding towns.
The mob first assembled at the
pottery building to jeer police and
plant executives. Finally a rock
hurtled through a window in the
building, and the crowd went into
action.
Fight Lasts Two Hours
Deputies and police launched
their attack with pistols, night
sticks and tear gas when the dem
onstration reached its height al

two hours the fighting ragged. The
mob was finally forced to disperse
Mr.. Kohler earlier had declared
the action Of pickets in refusing
to allow the coal to enter the
plant was a violation Of the Law
and Reputation Of their promise
not to interfere with coal deliv
cries needed to maintain the vii
lage water supply.
Captain Scheulke and plant Off
cials feared further outbreaks o1
trouble today.
The strike was called two weeks
ago. Since then picket lines have
encircled the plant, preventing EN-
ployes and freight shipments from
entering or leaving. Union recog
milton and higher wages is sought
by the strikers.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, July %
G.NSO.-"The girl in red' who
was said to have put the finger"
on John Dillinger, is going to be

slayer, local authorities fear.
A large black sedan, bearing

Cemetery here several times. One
of the occupants got out and
placed a note on the grave Of
the fallen outlaw: It read:
"T'm going to get her, John.

The initials were the same as
those of Hamilton, who broke the
Indiana State prison September az
last and who has been nationally
sought as the slayer Of Detective
Sergeant William Stanley in Chi
cago.
Hamilton, police feel, owes a
debt Of gratitude to Dillinger. It
was the slain outlaw who figured
out a way to release Hamilton and
his cronies from prison by snug

that on the day after the bloody
thirtieth Of June dared speak
Of foreign influences in internal

Germany was sending arms and
ammunition to Austrian NaZis."
The government reiterated to-
day that military preparations in
the Austrian crisis had been con-
cluded. It was officially denied
