As a partial offset to the drain the guaranty fund still has-in prospect, Secretary Griggs stated that upwards of 3 million dollars will be realized from the assets of failed banks,- thus returning to the fund half of the money which, it is expected, will be contributed In making a final clean up. It will be necessary, however, Mr. Griggs advised the bankers group to keep on making special as-, sessments for the fund during the next two years in order to raise the 3 milion dollars needed with the like amount to be realized from the as sets. Worst is Over Of the 924 state banks remaining in Nebraska about 60 are in such poor shape that they Lave been taken over by the commission. Ultimately the depository obligations of these banks will have to be met out of the guaranty fund or by arranging con solidations with other institutions. The worst is over. Secretary Griggs said, and what remains now is to liquidate the liabilities and realize upon the assets as rapidly as possi ble. FLOYD COLLINSTUT OF HIS CAVE TRAP Body of Underground Explorer Is Removed From Beneath Bock That Held Him Prisoner. Cave City, Ky., April 22. The body of Floyd Collins? cave ex plorer, who died from hunger and exposure when trapped in Sand cave late in January, today was freed from its natural underground prison and moved from the rock that pinned it to the ground to the bottom of the seventy foot shaft, W. H. Hunt, engineer of Central City,' Ky., said early tonight. The body was in good condition considering the time it had been ex posed to the underground elements. Mr. Hunt said. He also announced that the corpse will be raised from the shaft to the surface at 9 o'clock tomorrow morning. Examination of the rock that fell on Collins and pinned him in the death trap showed that It weighed only seventy-five pounds, Mr. Hunt said. Just after two workmen had suc ceeded in removing the body from under the small rock, the portion of the tunnel and lateral in which the body was found collapsed and fell from sixty to 100 feet into a pit directly behind the position where S3 Swatek L3 the body had reclined. -Collins had told rescuers who had crawled to him in the first days of his entrap ment that there was a deep pit be hind him. Two miners, E. S. Hayes and J. S. Smith of Central City, were the oirly ones who ventured into the death trap today. They reported that there were chicken bones and scraps of food by the side of the explorer, which disproved early ru- rmors that no food had been taken within Collins' reach. Mr. Hunt explained that the body which was released at 6 o'clock was left in the shaft tonight because he did not have material to lift" it to the surface. Funeral plans have not been arranged and no member of the family was at the cave "when the body was released. Mr. Hunt said that following removal tomorrow, the body would lie in state in the Baptist church here for a few days. He said his entire success in re moving the body and in accomplish ing what original workers declared was Impossible, was due entirely to the power of God. ? t LEGION NEWS!

LABOR TANGLE IN THE UNION PACIFIC FORCES Chicago, April 24. A labor tangle which has developed within the or ganization of the Union Pacific rail road will be Ironed out next Wednes day, when officials of the road and representatives of the steamship and railway clerks' organisation will ap pear before the United States railroad labor board.

He suf-' fered a studied affront from the op position, however, as M. "Herriot was the only candidate who failed of elec tion on the first ballot, his supporters larking 13 of constituting a majority of the chamber membership, neces sary for a quorum. On the so'-end ballot he stood 2C7 to 1, the negative vote, which was cast by M. Herriott himself Upset President's Chair Fist fighting" is no novelty in the French lower house, but today the presiding officer expressed the great est indignation that the deputies should carry their rioting into the rostrum itself, even upsetting the chair of the president, who imme diately donned his silk hat as a sig nal that the seseiou was suspended. This happened during the second balloting when Deputy Balanant charged 10 deputies had voted twice. Two socialist deputies attacked him and the fight became general. The cabinet triumvirate, Painteve, Caillaux and Briand, face the senate tomorrow and will ask for a vote of confidence on the ministerial dec laration presented yesterday. Hostility to Cafflaux M. Caillaux will appear before a body, half of the members of which sat in judgment upon him when he was sentenced to imprisonment and exile and stripped of his civil rights. Though it is expected the senators will be reasonably psarefnl there is no concealment that a strong hostil ity to Caillaux exists in the upper house. , The senate is credited with the in tention of following tradition and al lowing the new ministry to show definite plans and specific acts before it passes judgment. M. Caillaux' tac tics in refusing to become involved in the controversy in the chamber yesterday over his past are taken as proof that he will confine himself to financial matters before the senate, if he speaks at all.

Herbert Lord, director general of the federal bud get, feels himself looked upon in Washington as a sort of official ogre that sits on the government's cash box.

DAVIS, Plaltsmouth, Nebraska YHAT AN ALIEN CAN AND CAN NOT DO IN STATE Law Permits Them to Follow Any Occupation which Does Not Re quire Oath of Allegiance Many things an alien ran do and cannot do in Nebraska have been listed by Assistant Attorney General Dort in reply to questions from a foreign language information erTiee bureau in New York. His" answers , show that an alien cannot vote, tho he formerly could after declaring an intention to become a oitizeti. An alien can own land only condition ally and for a short period. An alien cannot carry fire arms in this st3fe, but he may obtain a !icen to hunt and fish. He can fol low any occupation that do;s not require an oath of allegiance to the United States". Therefore he may be a public accountant, an architect, but he cannot become a tcachor, nor serve on a jury nor on the police force to enforce laws of the state. The only thing a declarant, or one who has declared his intention to become a citizen, can do that an an do that an do, is to join aska national alien outright cannot the militia or Nbra guard. It is the belief of the attorney general that an alien cannot become an attorney. The state bar commis sion will not permit an alien to-take an examination for admission to the bar. He might become a druggist, or physician or surgeon or a regis tered nurse, if he can comply with the state law which fixes qualifica tions, some of them being education al in nature which must be ar-qtiired in this country. An alien may be employed upon public works or at any ordinary la bor, but he cannot accept appoint ment to any public office or official position created by the laws of this state. . .. .' .,:; There is "no express provision, for aliens in the workmen's compensa tion law and no court decision as to whether an alien or his dependents, whether residing here or in a for eign country, can receive compensa tion for an industrial injury. Section 56S7 of the statutes pro hibits an alien from owning land within thi3 state or any leasehold extending beyond a period of five years, except as to the widow and heirs of aliens who acquired lands prior to March 16, 1SS9. In the lat ter event they may hold the lands tor a period or ten years nd no longer, within which period they must sell as otherwise the lands re vert or escheat to the state. It also provides mat any resident, anen may acquire uue to lands Dy oevise or descent only provided such alien shall be reauired to sell the Dron ?erty within five years from the date I licimca ff it it Tovorf o f n tfin cto tft No exceptions are made in favor of a declarant.
