figures ot bank losocs within the pad
five year. In the entire s'ate dur
ing this time there were 23 bank
failures. The greater number of
these 2i have occurred within the

totalled $2,632,778. while of this tofal
there was a loss in group S of only
$1.16,048. or two-tenths of one per
cent of the deposits of the group.
Comments on Failure.
Commenting on some of the fail
ures occurring since the deflation
period set in, President Mcnck point
ed out that an analysis of the failures
shows business intermingling to have
ben somewhat responsible.
"I believe that restrictive legisla
tion should be . nacted," he said,
"whereby a bank, owing to its quasi
public character, should be prohibit
cd from jointly occupying quarters
with any other person, firm or cor-
poranon, inereoy matting niuro m
ficult the intermingling of transac
tions or securities."
President Mcnck referred to the
proposed legislation defeated in the
last legislature icquiring owius of
1ank stock to show a readiness and
ability ti pay 100 per cent at any
time. He urged such legislation at
the next session 4iid also the enact
ment oi the measure, likewise defeat
ed at the last session, requiring a
statemnt of property owned Lr ap
plicants of loans.
Urges Careful Investments.
The president further urged most
careful action by bankers in advising
their patrons agaist investment in
various stocks of unproved or doubt
ful value.
The Thursday session opened at
10:45 with an invocation by Rev.
Dr. Harman of the English Lutheran
church, followed 'by an address of
welcome by .Vice President J. I..
Cleary of the State bank of Grand
Island. A response j was made' by
President Danlorris of the City
National bank of Kearney, followed
the president's address-and' the re
port of Secretary-Treasurer W. H.

main business session this afternoon.
Grand Island Sugar
Plant to Open Monday
Grand Island, Neb., Sept. 22.
f Special.) The American Beet
Sugar company will begin the 1921
sugar manufacturing campaign Mon
day, with the prospect of having a
run of only a week or 10 days less
than last year's ; record-breaking
campaign. There is a shrinkage of
about 10 per cent in acreage as com
pared with 1920, but the tonnage will
be about the same, if not a little
larger. It is difficult at this time to
estimate the sugar content of the
crop since - most of th beets will
still remain in the ground two weeks
to a month longer. During the last
10 days of rainy weather the chem
ical process in the beets towards
saccharine content has been slow.
The factory will, employ the same
number of men at a reduction, how
ever, of an average of 25 per cent
in wages. Last year the campaign
opened on October 2 and ended Feb
ruary 1. . . . '

Ophuls of the Stanford University
medical school, who made the first
postmortem, examination, were the
principal witnesses.
Dr. Strange said. he found bruises
on Miss Rappe's right upper arm
and other injuries apparently caused
by force. - .
Miss Halston's statement that she
believed the bruises on Miss Rappe's
arm were made by the 'grip of an
other person, prompted a lively de
bate over its admissibility between
Frank Dominguez, Arbyckle's chief
counsel, and Milton T. U'Ren, as
sistant district attorney, who con
ducted the examination.
t J-udge Lazarus finally let the tes
timony go in with the qualification
that he would not attach much
weight to it.
Hearing Continued. ;
The defense did not cross examine
any of the witnesses much to the
surprise of the prosecution, accord
ing to U'Ren, who said he had not
prepared for the use of more wit
nesses . today. At the request of
Dominguez, who said he had had
no opportunity to rest between the
time that he concluded a trial in Los
Angeles yesterday and his appearance
in court here today. Judge Lazarus
put the hearing over -until 2 o'clock

Mrs. Delmont accompanied ' Miss
Rappe and Al Semnacher on the trip
from LoS Angeles to Selma, Fresno
and San Francisco that ended in Miss
Rappe's death. She, Semacher and
two other women witnesses were
present at Arbuckle's party.
Comparatively few" tilts between
counsel occurred today. Although
the examination of the witnesses
were , avoid of ' excitement, smiles
went round the court room seevral
times as U'Ren pleaded with Dr.
Strange to talk in understandable
language instead of using such terms
as "exmosis," "humerus," "deltoid,"
"anterior," and "posterior."
; , . .Women Demand Seats. ""
Finishing , his testimony, Dr.
Strange looked around for an exit
but found the only way to leave the
witness chair was to climb over twq
railings behind the judge's bench, so,
great was the crowd.
Although many women unable to
get into the court room submitted to
fate and stood patiently on the stairs
elading to the second floor where the
examination was being Jield, others
refused to be satisfied and called on
Chief of Police O'Brien, demanding
theirr ight as "citizens and tax
payers" to be given a . seat in the
court room.
. Semnacher, who called the district
attorney by telephons yesterday from
Los Angeles to request that expense
money be sent him so he would be
able to come to San Francisco to
testify, arrived here today by auto
mobile. He was taken to the district
attorney's office immediately and de

District Attorney Brady said he

reason for its existence."
City Commissioner John Hopkins
said: ."The organization is based on
religious and racial prejudice and it
appeals only to the ignorant classes.
Fortunately the ignorant classes are
in a hopeless minority here iri the
north, so I do not believe we have
to worry. The organization will die
quicker if it is given less attention.
It thrives on publicity."

. Commissioner H. B. Zimman ex
pressed his belief thai, the ordinances
of Omaha and the laws of this state
are sufficient in scope to cover any
situation which the K. K. K. or any
other organizatiDii might cause. Mr.
Zimman said he did not know enough
about the klan to express an intelli
gent opinion. .
Police Commissioner H. W. Dunn
was reticent on the subject. He said
he did not kno w 'much about the
K.' K, K. and did. not know of any
activities of the ' organization in
Omaha.
Resign Under Fire.'
The latest scandal charged against
the national organization of the klan
centers on Imperial Kleagle' Edward
Young Clarke and his associate, Mrs.
Elizabeth Tyler, both of whom have
resigned under fire, according to in
formation from Atlanta, Ga.
C. Anderson Wright, former grand
goblin, king kleagle, invisible empire,
and chief of staff, invisible planet,
knights of the air, also has tendered
his resignation to the imperial wizard.
In his resignation Mr. ..Wright made
reference to the alleged relationship
between Clarke and Mrs. Tyler, the
latter being chief of ' staff of the
Daughters of the Klu Klux Klan,
and also associated with Clarke in
the Southern Publicity , association
and other enterprises.
Wright charges that police records
show that Mr. Clarke had been found
by officers at midnight at the home
of Mrs. Tyler; that the pair was ar
rested and fined in ; police court.
Clarke, in a statement, explained
that he had been taken ill in a hotel
and went to Mrs. Tyler's home for
proper treatment and he added that
his arrest had been engineered by
his wife, who is seeking a divorce.
Solicitor General john Boykin at
Atlanta has ordered an investigation
by; the grand jury of this situation.
Announcement also was - made by
Mrs. Tyler that she- had fired a
Donald Batei - district - kleagle of
Newark, N. J., who had demanded
the discharge of Clarke and Mrs.
Tyler. ' ,
"Share of Spoils." 4
In his resignation to the imperial
wizard, Mr. Wright wrote the fol
lowing charges: "That your imperial
chief of staff, Edward Young Clarke,
and his business associate, Mrs.
Elizabeth Tyler, were living on the
same , beautiful reservation on the
outskirts of Atlanta ' which was re
cently acquired out of their share of
the spoils of the membership of the
Klu Klux Klan; that this shameful
and deplorable condition existed
with your full knowledge and unof
ficial approval." -v '- ; -,
The concluding paragraph of the
resolution adopted by the Chicago
city council reads:
"Now, therefore,- be it resolved,
that the city council .'of Chicago of
ficially condemn the presence of the
Klu Klux Klan in Chicago and
pledge its services to the proper
authorities to rid the community of
this organization." '

Found By Accident.
Discovery of the money ws made
by accident by Undertaker Harry

While ri moving the man's clothes,

$2 bill and 80 cents were found in

sent was indistinguishable. In it the

and had been crushed by the load
of lumber when it shunted forward
in the car. His neck was broken and
his head and groin crushed.
