Fields, Omaha physi cian, convicted of murder in an il legal operation, will enter the gates of the state penitentiary today to begin serving his sentence of one to ten years.

Dr. Fields resigned himself to his defeat in the attempt to keep him self free. He waged his fight from the police court, through the dis trict court to the state supreme court and lost every legal battle, but he fought on, hoping that some legal obstacle could be found to pre vent his going to the state institu tion. "I have only one request to make," he told Sheriff Clark. "I should like to be accompanied to the penitentiary by my old friend. Dep uty Sheriff Charles Johnson." The request was granted by Clark. Deputy Johnson and his college graduate prisoner will leave for Lin coln early today. Dr. Fields said Wednesday that he had prepared his affairs for his journey to Lincoln.

STATE BANK ERS OPPOSED TO CHANGE IN LAW pass EESOLirnoirs at omaha MEETING PROTESTING RE VISION OF BANK LAW. The state bankers of Nebraska, numbering some 400 have been in session this week at the Fontenelle hotel in Omaha, and the meeting was one of the most largely attended in recent years. The sessions of the bankers was attended (by practically all of the bankers of Cass county and they are in evidence in the proceed ings of the meetings. Governor McKelvie was present and addressed the bankers stating that he would ibe guided by the wishes of the bankers in regard to any changes in the present guaran tee law and while it had been In cluded in the call (for the special ses sion the matter would not be pressed. The attitude of the bankers was shown 'by the resolution adopted and which was introduced by George W. Woods of the Lincoln State bank as (follows: "The present depositors' guaran tee law has been in operation for eleven years, during which time not a single dollar has been lost to a single depositor in a 6tate bank in Nebraska. "The law has established and maintained the confidence of the peo ple of our state. "It has successfully met and foeen tested foy the severest price declines and business diturbanoes ever exper ienced in this 6tate. "It has enabled the depositors in failed banks to receive in cash over $3,000,000, which outherwiie would have been lost to them. "It has provided iby means of as sessments on solvent banks with $80,000,000 capital stock, for the constant recouping of the guaranty fund. "As a result of this process and after the payment of $3,000,000 out of this fund, dt now contains $2, 250.000 in cash on deposit in .solvent banks; it owns approximately $5, 000,000 in notes and mortgages tak en over from failed banks and now possesses the largest resources the fund has ever retained in any per iod in history. "It has stabilized banking and business conditions throughout our state. It commands the confidence and hearty support of the bankers themselves who have organized a great corporation to help make the law function more efficiently and. to promote higher standard of bank ing in this state; therefore be it "Resolved toy the State Bankers of Nebraska, in convention . assem bled, that "We favor and approve the pres ent guarantee law of .this state and that we are opposed to the enact ment of any amendments or changes in the law toy the coming special ses sion of the Nebraska legislature." Elmer Williams of Grand Island, chairman of the executive council of the state bankers' association, intro duced Governor McKelvie, who said he had called the special session not primarily for the purpose of acting upon the guaranty law, but for re trenchment. "I am not seeking the opportunity to legislate," the governor said. Speakers Against Change Of those who spoke, Dan V. Ste phens of Fremont, George Halt of Franklin, L. Milenz of Omaha. Ar thur F. Mullen of Omaha, Henry Schneider of Plattsmouth, A. L. Schantz of Omaha. Dan Riley of Dawson and Mr. Woods of Lincoln publicly favored no change in the law. "I fought its adoption," eaid Mr. Riley, "but I hope no action will be taken to cross a 'f or dot an or change a comma." Others said decided risk would at tend any effort to alter so popular an act.
