Urge Speed
on Missouri
River Work
President Roosevelt Hears Plea of
Sixteen Senators and Many
Congressmen.
Continuance at the swiftest possi
ble pace of work cn the Fort Peck
reservoir project and on the exist
ing Missouri river project was urged
upon President Roosevelt today by
a delegation of members of congress
and river advocates ,led by Senator
"Wheeler, Montana.
Representing all of the eight states
in the Missouri valley, the delega
tion expressed to the president their
gratification at the initiation of the
Fort Peck project and at the progress
which has been made both there
and on the upper Missouri during the
current administration.
A -petition sgr.cd by 16 senators
and two dozen congressmen from
the eight states was presented to the
president, urging that out oZ the new
public works funds just appropriated
by congress, considerable allotments
be made to Fort Ptck and the upper
Misouri.
20 Millions Requested.
General F. M. Markham has al
ready requested an allotment of at
least 20 million dollars for upper
Missouri 'work and today said he
could use as much a3 22 million dol
lars on the Omaha-Sioux City stretch
alone during the year, if it is alloted.
"We have the machinery with
which to spend ,that sum and pos
sibly a little more profitably," said
General Markham.
The PWA has as yet given no in
dication as to the allotments which
would be made for carrying on this
work at Fort Peck. Secretary Ickes
has pointed out, however, that $14,
500,000 of the 25 million dollars al
loted for Fort Peck has already been
placed under contract, hence a con
siderable allotment will be needed
there in the near future.
Childe on Way to Omaha.
Included in the group which called
at the White house today on behalf of
the river work here were Represen
tative E. R. Burke, Omaha, and form
er Governor A. J. "Weaver, Nebraska.
C. F. Childe, Omaha, scheduled to
attend with the others, was forced
to leave today for Omaha, after sev
eral days spent here with "Weaver
making preparations for the visit. He
and Weaver also conferred with Sec
retary of War Dern relative to river
work and were assured of the secre
tary's continued interest.
Both Senators Norris and Thomp
son, the latter previously not parti
cularly sympathetic to river devel
opment, signed the petition. World
Herald. DILLINGER REPORT A JOKE
St. Paul, Minn. Authorities here
were inclined to believe that some-1
one with a perverted sense of humor
was responsible for sending Duluth
police on an alleged John Dillinger
chase early Sunday. Duluth police
got an emergency call shortly be
fore C a: m. from a man identifying
himself as "Federal Agent Moore."
He declared that he had a gunfight
with two men who were heading to
ward Duluth. It was dark, he said,
so he could not say whether one of
the men was Dillinger. It was es
tablished that there is no Federal
Agent Moore in the vicinity.

Judge Upholds
State Banking
Department
Refuses to Prevent the Closing of
Edgar Bank Decision the
First on Issue.
Clay Center, Neb. District Judge
Munday Tuesday refused to grant an
injunction to prevent the state bank
ing department from closing the
Clay County State bank of Edgar,
in a decision sweepingly upholding
the discretionary powers of the state
banking department, granted by the
1932 legislature.
The Edgar bank was declared in
solvent by the department on June
10 after having been operated on a
restricted basis. The bank, acting
under the authority of a new bank
ing law, asked that the department
be enjoined from placing it in re
ceivership and from liquidating it.
Judge Munday held the bank is in
solvent as defined by the statutes.
The court held E. H. Luikart,
state banking superintendent, was
acting within his powers and did not
abuse his discretion in closing the
institution. The' decree also said a
departmental communication last
December outlining the plan for re
organization does not constitute a
contract.
Franz Radke, chief counsel for the
banking department, who represented
the department in the case, said the
decision definitely upheld both the
valid?ty of the law which transfers
failed state banks from a judicial to
an executive system and the depart
ment's discretionary power of con
trol. lie said this is the first decision
or. the issue by the district court.
An injunction was sought, Radke
said, by a Dodge bank, but while the
issue was pending the bank met the
state's requirements. A similar suit
brought by officers cf a Murdock
bank w as submitted to the Cass coun
ty district court but has not been
ruled upon. State Journal.
Water City council are making ready
for construction of the city jail, by

Driver Gets Broken Leg.
While a ice wagon or truck was
coming from Lincoln with a load of
ice for Weeping Water and had pro
ceeded as far as the Cascade school
south of Weeping Water, and was
endeavoring to pass a road maintain
or, the truck heavily loaded plunged
into the ditch by the roadside, turn
ing over wrecking the truck and also
throwing the driver clear from the
wreckage but however, breaking one
of his legs. The leg was given first
aid treatment and the young man
sent to his home in Lincoln.
Another reason for our recent ob
servation that we never can become
accumstomed to seeing a girl shaking
dice for the beer, is that the barkeep
er with whom she shakes is also a
girl.
