Judge Begley entered a decree of di

this morning the receiver entered on
his duties of checking up the affairs
of the bank and the assisting or the
transfer of the deposits from the

State.
The Bank of Cass County was or
ganized in 1883 and among those
who were active in its foundation
were Dr. John Black, one of the pion
eer capitalists of Nebraska. James
M. Patterson and Calvin Parmele.
The Interests of the bank were large
ly held by the Parmele and Patter
son families and for a number of
years the bank was headed by Chas.
C. Parmele.' as president, a' son of
one of the founders. Some four years
ago R. P. Patterson was named as
cashier of the bank, which office had
been held by one of this family from
the start" of the Institution.
The capital stock of the bank was
$50,000 with a surplus of $10,000
and deposits of $440,000. The loans
and discounts of the bank are placed
Rt $525,000.
Some six months ago the bank was
reorganized with T. H. Pollock as
nre?idjnt and G. M. McClerkin of
Omaha as vice president, and R. F.
Patterson ' as ' cashier.
In the closing of the bank fortun

Many rules had been agreed on by
a majority of roads and in such cases
the federal counterparts were re
manded to roads not reaching an
agreement for further consideration
These included rules on seniority,
promotion and special service, where

. May Reduce Hours
The old national agreement recog
nized the 10-hour day In extra or
floating gangs of workmen, whose
employment is. temporary and sea
sonal. Regular Jgangs, however, were
paid overtime after eight hours.
Under the new rules the number
of hours work per day may be re
duced by mutual agreement to avoid
reducing forces. The roads were for
merly compelled to pay eight hours'
wages a day for each man employed
Regular assignment of Sunday and
holiday work no longer draws time
and a half pay. When called for less
than a day's work, however, employes
will be paid three hours straight
time for two hours work or less, in
stead of time and a half for the two
hours and pro rata time thereafter.
Extra time worked before the regu
lar assignments and traveling in
camp cars, under the new rules, get
only straight, time for eight hours
a day, including Sundays and holi

opportunity.
All arbitrary rules fixing the be

fixed by agreement between local of

The board has now completed con

the party were feeling very much il

cured in Omaia while there on a

the highway the demand for speed
grew greater and greater and the
roadway less and less distinguishable
to the driver and as they neared the
portion of the roadway where the ac

party were unable to clearly tell
where they were going and instead
of keeping on the right side of the
road they got over on the left side
and drove on over a large concrete
culvert, the car crashing to the bot

southwest of Carrol, Idaho.
Mr. Ruby was married to Amy J.

quadruple pact.
There were several other senators
however, who declined to be listed
as concurring in a policy of silence.
Their reasons were said to have in
cluded those assigned by Senator La
Follette of Wisconsin, a republican
"irreconciliable," who issued a state
ment today setting forth his opposi
tion to the treaty. He denounced it
as one which would provoke, rather
than avoid hostilities.
The crux of the democratic posi
tion as advanced by one senator was
that it was not known what had
gone on behind the clossed doors of
the conference sessions and there
fore senators were in no position to
criticize or command an agreement
the basic reasons for which had not
been officially disclosed. '
One question said to have been
broached informally was whether the
real purpose of the treaty was to take
a step toward world peace, or wheth
er it amounted to "an alliance to in
sure world domination of commerce"
for the powers concerned.
While most democrats indicated
their willingness to await a republi
can statement . before speaking on
the treaty. Senator Reed, democrat,
Missouri, one of the league of na
tion's "irreconciliables," said he ex
pected to have something to say
af.out the proposition within a few
days."
