SMALL AUTO SMASH UP.
From Friday's Daily
This morning as Charles Nelson
was driving his Ford roadster down
to his place of labor at the Burling
ton shops, he was the victim of a
rather unusual auto accident that
fortunately did not inflict any serious
damage on Charley but did more or
less damage to the car. Mr. Nelson
was driving east on Main street and
the sun was shining in such a man
ner that the rays strucn the eyes of
the driver as the car neared the
Fourth and Main street intersection
and the car ran into the large con
crete block that has for many years
arded the intersections as turning
posts. The glass in the upper por
tion of the windshield was shattered
and strewn over the street and the
side of the car also damaged to more
or less extent and one of the front
headlights was broken. The car was
left at the curb and Charley raced
on to work -on foot.

his capacity of secretary of the state
association. All group presidents are
ex-officio members of the executive
council.
KenttTtkian Pleases
The afternoon session of the con
vention was replete with interest.
Terry P. Smith, president of the City
National bank of Mayfield, Ky., kept
his audience in chuckles with his
witty stories, many pf which bad a
flavor of the south.
He counseled bankers to maintain
a spiritual side to their work and
not become tainted with the worship
of mammon to the extent they would
lose sight of the beatitudes.
"The steel, cement, and asphalt
complexes of modern life," said he,
"has been so ground into our souls
that we get wrong perspectives of
life, but the old-fashioned virtues
were the fundamental ones and they
will persist to the end of civiliza
tion." Mr. Smith contended that the in
crease in interest-bearing time de
posits in the banks of the country in-
dcates an unhealthy condition
ne
i"1"" - " j
, of uncertainty on the part of those
who have money to invest. "This
money, lie saia, snouia De turneu
loose in community activites instead
of being held for fear of some polit
icarcalamity connected with the com
ing national election, and which is
certain never to happen."
Cost of Crime
B. F. Battin, resident vice presi
dent of the National Surety company
of New York, said that the crime
cost in America amounted to $60,
000,000,000 a year. Statistics gather
ed by surety companies indicated that
only one person in 100, in a place
of business trust, such as banking
in America is dishonest, while the
character morality of trusted officers
of service clubs, fraternal organiza
tions, church treasurers and Sunday
school treasurers, showed that 45 out
of every 100 are dishonest.
Embezzlement causes a loss of
$200,000,000 a year, while bank
burglaries and holdups will account
for another $200,000,000. "If the
business men of the cities will only
learn to change the hour and day of
their carrying the 'black bag' and
its contents to the banks once in a
while it will do away with much of
the banditry that is now prevalent,"
he declared. "Thugs make the habit
of merchant deposits of money a close
study." "
Commend Guarantee Fund.
The resolution adopted contained
condolences to the family of J. W.
i?tt, killed Apr 1 26 in a daylight
holdup while trying to protect the
funds of his bank and deplored the
lawlessness now rampant.
The work of Secretary C. G. Bliss
and the staff of the department of
banking as well as of Van Peterson
and members of the guarantee fund
commission was commended.
The resolution recited: "In view
of the present increased menace of
bank robbery we recommend full
coverage of insurance."
A word of caution and warning in
regard to the menace of worthless
stock was contained in the following
parapragh of the resolutions adopted,
Should Investigate Scheme
The state of Xebraska has won
the enviable distinction of being the
leading agricultural state of the
union by reason of the wonderful
wheat harvest and the maturing of
one of the largest corn crops, and
the further distinction in making
rapid progress in the livestock, dairy
and poultry industries, and as this
distinction will result In Nebraska
being a fruitful place for invasion
of various so-called wildcat indus
tries, the main object being to sell
stock and equipment regardless of
the ultimate success of the enterprise.
"That this association in conven
tion assembled put itself on record
as opposed to the sale of worthless
and questionable stocks and securities
and the promotion of visionary pro
jects, launched for the benefit of the
promoters, and that this association
lend its influence and efforts to dis
courage such activities in all proper
uays including the action of inform
ing all its members of the presence
of such salesmen and promoters and
urging that reliable information be
obtained from the University of Ne
braska college of agriculture, or-other
dependable sources, respecting condi
tions vital to the possible success of
various schemes now being launched
relating to any phase of dairying or
agriculture or other appropriate and
reliable sources in connection with
other industries, before indorsing
them, so that another wave of un

CANNED ON CANNED HEAT
From Thursday's Dally
Yesterday afternoon Chief of Po
lice Johnson with Officer Dave Pick
rel, who had come down town to look
after some shopping, ran into a man
whose home it is claimed is Pacific
Junction, who was in a very bad case
of total collapse, caused by an over
dose of the beverage derived from
canned heat. The liquid evidently
not only inflaniable but also very
potent as a drink as the party was
all in. It required the united efforts
of, the officers to support the befud
dled man to the city lock-up where
he was placed to rest up from the
effects of the heated jag. The condi
tion of the man yesterday did not
permit him giving his name but this
morning he was able to announce
that he was Clarence Baldwin and
lived over in the vicinity of Pacific
Junction and his system, unused to
the fiery beverage of the canned heat,
had been overcome and rendered out
of commission.
This morning the man was given a
hearing before Judge William Weber
and received fine of $5 and costs
for his overindulgence in the heat
and which has left the man in a very
bad state of collapse.

their truck while Harry Eisel, the

ed to have been expended for medi

ment by Judge Duxbury after the
