ON INCREASE

Banks Show Healthy
Condition
Lincoln. Neb., Feb. ,.—Nebraska
slate banks added two million dol
lars to their deposits between Octo
ber 7, 1924 and December 31, accord
ing to a summary of reports Just

000,000, as compared with $269,000,000
four months ago. Hank loans have

000.000, and total $22,000,000. The
reserves are still away above the
legal requirement of 15 per cent on
the overage.
The guaranty fund has a little over
$2,500,00 to its credit on the books of

INTANGIBLE TAX LAW
IS OBJECT OF ATTACK
Lincoln, Neb., Feb, * (Special)—
An attack on the constitutionality of
the intangible tax law. passed by (he
1921 legislature, was staged at a spe
cial session of the supreme court
One section in the law attempts to
forgive ull taxpayers who had con
cealed their personal property from
the assessor in the past and who had
failed to report it themselves by say
ing that no penalties. Interest or
hack taxes shall be imposed or col
lected on property withheld in the
past from the assessment roll.
Attorneys for George C. Bute, a
Hamilton county taxpayer, say that
this provision contravenes the pro
hibition of the constitution that the
legislature shall not release any tax
payer from the full amount due from
him, and that as the act would never
have been passed without this pro
viso the entire act falls. The state
says that the prohibition refers only
to taxes that have been levied, and
that the inducement held out to get
this sort of property on the roils at
25 per cent, taxation was that no
attempt would he made to use the
information given In the returns made
uniter the new act to penalize the
persons thus obeying the law.

food, save for wisps of hay, and
wltho t water for 38 days, J. C. Tay
lor has been rescued from beneath
a haystack on a ranch near x-arker.
Colo.
Kmaclated to a degree where no
wrist pulse was to be noted, the 28
yeur-old “tenderfoot” who lost 100 of
his 175 pounds during the ordeal, Is
expected to recover, physicians de
clared Monday night.
The case, almost without parallel
In medical science, has attracted the
Interest of Denver phislclans. Taylor
Is being uttended bv Dr. F. B. Cornell,
of Parker, a village 25 miles from
here.
The almost unbelievable tale was
revealed sltnukiteneously with re
ceipt of flashes that Floyd Collins
had been found dead In his stalag
mite cave In Kentucky.
Victim of Joks
The story given with much reluc
tance by Mrs. M. C. James, wife of
the owner of a ranch at Parker, re
lates how Taylor, a stranger from
the Bhst, Joined a crew of workmen
near the James ranch early last
November. Being n "tenderfoot” he
was the victim of a practical Joks
perpetrated by his fellow' workmen.
They told Taylor that he was the
exact image or a man slierlfrs offi
cers were searching for on a serious
charge. Becoming frightened, Tay
lor hid ill a big haystack on the
James ranch.
For the first 10 days, Dr, Cornell
told Universal Service, Taylor re
mained In his haystack prison dur
ing the daylight hours, venturing
forth only at night to secure some
bits of food and water. He became
so weakened, however, that he wai
unable to leave the haystack and
for the ensuing 37 or 38 days, he
is not sure how many, he remained
without food or water, chewing on I
the stalks of hay In the stack.
Found By Rancher
When the rancher «nd his son,
carrying hay from the stack came
ui>on Taylor, he was too weak to
speak. One foot was frozen and he
had suffered terrible agony from ex
posure. Field nice had gnawed hie
clothing into shreds.
According to Mrs. James, Taylor
eaid that he heard members of
searching parties around the hay
stack several times, but he was too
weak to call for aid.
Taylor’s excuse for hiding out is
that he f-ared he would he unable
to convince officers he was not the
man they were looking for.

PRESS DEMAND
FOR GUARDIAN
Son of Aged Nebraskan
Maintains Father Is In
competent
Lincoln, Neb., Feb. (Special) —
The case of Levi Keiscr, aged and
wealthy retired fanner of Saunders
county, whose son started guardian
ship proceedings a year ago in an
effort to prevent his dissipating his
estate of $65,000, all in securities,
bobbed up in supreme court today,
where the son's attorneys filed a
brief in support of the holding of
the lower court that he needed a
guardian.
They assert that the old man had
sessed mentally and was ob
scessed by the idea that all of the
widows in Ashland wanted tc marry
him, and that he finally fell into the
hands of a designing woman in the
person of Mrs. Irene Cleveland Buell,
an Ashland lawyer. They say that
the evidence shows that she joked
t lie old man about marriage, inquired
of his banker as to his wealth, ex
amined his securities and then be
came engaged to him. They aver
that the engagement was broken
and renewed three times, the re
newals occurring when the old man
drew money out of the bank, and
that he has accounted for but $1,480
of tiie $11,000 he drew.
The son's attorneys say that they
desired to put the woman, who
later married him—they charge to
hido the ulterior motive she previ
ously possessed—on the witness
stand, but lhat her attorneys ob
jected because of the marital rela
tion existing. Maybe, they say, she
could have explained how she comes
to own a home now and Keiser
none, and also the conflicting stories
ol her having refused to marry him
and of her having Inherited $10,000
to account for her sudden prosperity,
but when she would not go on the
stand tlie> have the right to be
lieve that because of her compara
tive youth, mental ability and social
standing, she would not have wedded
an unschooled, deaf and mentally
weakened old man, she had motives
that justify a guardianship.
