more funds from various depart
ments the budget board members also
faced similar demand for more
monies from the various state insti-
tutions, which also were sharply cut
at the last legislative session. and by
executive pruning.
The increases fall below the legis-
lative appropriations Of 1891 by $780,

ing appropriations of that year are q

computed future needs.

The court action is the result of
five months investigation of cir
cumstanceS of the closing of the
Meyer Kiser bank, together with
those of the Washington Bank and
Trust Company, City Trust Com
pany and State Savings and Trust
Company.
At the conclusion of the report,
which Judge Cox interrupted fire.
quently to ask questions and make
pungent comments, the court in
structed Mr.. Garvin to sign the af-
fidavits, then sent them to Grim
inal Judge Frank P. Baker, with the
comment that now the sinvcStiga-
ton had passed from hands of cir
cult court into that of criminal
court.
IF our banking institutions are
in bankruptcy because of the de-
preston" said Judge Baker, when
the matter was taken before him,
that is one thing, but if any of
these banks have been looted, that
is another matter"
Urges Immediate Action
He took the affidavits before
Prosecutor Wilson, who commented
he felt the bank case should be
taken up by the grand jury. He
agreed to study the matter for the
next few days, with the view of
signing the affidavitS with Mr. Gar
vim.
Mr.. Rucker previously had stated
that after spending five months
times in preparing the evidence, he
saw no reason for eXpending further
time and money on grand jury in
veStigatiOn.

avoid the waste of time that would
be entailed in a grand jury inVeSti-

Guided in the affidavits and outlines
an appraisal of assets of the bank
just completed by Albert E.. Uhl,
John Roberts and Russell w. Look
abill, indianapolis, and Harold
Phipps apd John Fox, Gary.
Shrinkage of $2,357,52197 m the
assets of the bank is disclosed by
the appraisal, it is alleged. 1t is
pointed out that assets of the bank,
carried at a book value of $1,000
003.82 by officers of the bank, have
been appraised at only $646,51185,
leaving depositors small hope of
salvaging a dividend.
1t is charged in the embezzlement
affidavit prepared that bank Off
Gals took $4,000 of the banks
funds to pay dividends of defunct
subsidiary. Another of the affi-
davits sets out that the bank was
insolvent since 1928, with knowledge
of the defendants.
The action in preparing affidavits
is believed to have been based on
the fact that the Marion county
grand jury failed to return indict-
Inents when evidence in the Wash
ington bank and the State Savings
and Trust Company was submitted.

Officials who have been following

adding that the problems of mergers,
the increasing of capital to provide

ton Of interest rates to prevent de-
structive competition and other ques-
tions could be handled adequately
only in such way.
