BE IN EFFECT GOVERNOR AFFIXES HIS SIGNA TURE TO THE BANK BILL. OPERATIVE IN A FEW MONTHS Companion to the Depositors' Gjar- nnty Bill Accepted as It Cornea from the House. Tho chairmen of tho enrolling and engrossing committees of the senate and house, Frank J. Henry and W. Z. Tnylor, submitted tho enrolled bank bill to Governor Shnllenbergcr for IiIb approval. In doing so these members of the legislature addressed tho exec utive on the theory of the bill nnd ex pressing to him their appreciation of what ho had done to make tho guar anty bill a good one. Governor Shallenborgcr answered briefly and Informally as follows: "I appreciate fully the honor that is mine in being given the privilego or sign ing tho bill. It has been a great pleasure to see tills promise or tho democratic party being carried out to complcto fulfilment. It 1b not the work of ono man, and does not rep resent the sagacity of any ono man in the slate. Rather the bill Is tho re sult of the wisdom and Judgment of many men. 1 havo gone over Its pro visions cnrcfully, and nm glad to fllgn it. First, however, I wnnt to go over tho Bectlonfi. The bill Is based on tho broad principle thnt the profit and prosperity or banks aro derived from tho depositors, and the banker who puts nsldo a portion of IiIb profits to securo safety for tho depositor will bo amply repaid by tho Increased con fidence tho public will feol In his Institution. It 1b merely the principle of insurnnco carried into the banking business. I shall be glad to sign the bill, gentlemen of the legislature, when first I have gone over Its sec tions." Later on tho governor signed tho bill, nnd In a few months it will go into effect. Tho companion to tho depositors' guaranty banking bill was passed by tho senate as it came from the house. Tho voto was unanimous, there being thirty-ono votes for it and two mem bers absent This bill provides tho method of re-chartering national banks which desire to give up their national charters in order to avail themselves of the benefit of the guar anty law. It also provides that when ever by act of congress or by order of the nttornoy general national banks shall bo permitted to participate In tho stato guaranty laws, national banks may pay their assessment and participate on the same footing as state banks. The senate hns ordered 2,000 copies of tho new banking law printed for general distribution. The Banking Bill. Over tho protests of W. J. Tnylor of Custer county, who denounced tho mensuro ns having been amended to suit the national bankers, and as not being tho law promised the people of Nebraska by tho democratic party, tho house concurred In tho senate amendments to the banking bill. 'Mr. Taylor objected to tho reduction made by tho senato In the initial levy against the banks to create tho guar anty fund from one-half of 1 per cent to one-fourth or 1 per cent. Ho ob jected to the action of the senate In striking from the bill tho amendment adopted by tho house providing thnt stockholders In a bank must own other property of equal value, and ho objected to tho decrenso In tho re servo to bo held in tho banks from 20 to 1G per cent. County Option Killed. Tho county option bill was taken lip by tho house, which had dodged consideration of tho mensuro for n long timo. Debate was limited to half an hour becauso It was well known that each member had his mind made up on tho matter and de bato was but wasted timo. Tho bill was voted on nnd defeated in com mlttoo by n voto of 53, no negative vote being taken. When tho house rose from commltteo of tho whole the result was emphasized on roll call by a voto or G2 to 3D, nlno members be ing nbsent or not voting. Of those nlno a majority aro supposed to bo opposed to county option. Thus the question wns defeated. Physical Valuation Bill. Tho Bonato refused to concur in house nmendments to tho physical valuation bill and unless tho house changes Its position on this bill there promises to bo a doadlock or goodly proportions. A conroronco commltteo consisting or Senators Ollls, Miller and Tannor was appointed on tho bill and as tho latter two named men are the sponsors for tho two charter bills which tho house mutilated and ns Sen ator Ollls Ib Introducer or tho physical valuation bill, tho outlook Is not good. To Adjourn April 1. An agreement hnB been reached up on tho date for final adjournment of tho legislature, both houses having ratified tho report of tho conference commltteo on Friday fixing Thursday, April 1, as tho time. Tho outlook at tho present time is that tho fiction Bnnctlfled by genorntlonB of precodont of stopping the clock on the final day and running over two or three dayB later mny ho dispensed with this year. There Ib no telling, however, whnt contingency may arlso to prolong tho session. THE HOUSE CONCURS. The Senate Amended Bank Btll Is Accepted. ' Tho bnk bill as nmonded In tho senate was concurred In by the houso and goes now to tho governor for his signature. Of that tho bill is assured for In conrerenco tho governor said that although the bill was not entirely to his liking ho wns willing to take it as tho best that could bo done under tho circumstances. Taylor or Custer appeared as the chief champion against adopting the senate amendments to tho gunrantco bill. Opposed to him were all the house members or tho. banking com mltteo which framed tho hill. Taylor had the solid following of tho repub licans snvo rour who voted ngnlnst tho motion made by Tnylor not to con cur in tho senate amendments on thrco sections. With them went nine teen democrats who bcllovcd as Tay lor did that the amendments ho point ed out weakened tho measure. Tho voto on not concurring In the three sections ns amended by tho Bonato Btood 43 to 63 and they woro adopt ed ns sent rrom tho senate. The bill as it goes to the governor makes no changes In tho composition or tho banking board.rrom what It was arranged by tho committee. Tho board Ib sttll to bo composed ot three mem bers, tho governor, the nttornoy gen eral and the auditor. The governor Ib to have practically all the power of direction and appointment. He Is renlly to bo the bonrd per so. This was done becauso tho democrats would not trust the two republicans who must or necessity bo members of the board. The entire board Is to hava control or what banks may bo desig nated an depositories of that portion of the reserve ot banks not required to bo maintained ns nctual cash on hand. Banks In towns of ono hundred or less mny bo formed with only $10, 000 cnpltal stock, banks In townB of 100 to 500 enn have not less than $15, 000 capital stock, in towns 500 to 1.000 not less than $20,000, in towns of 1.000 to 2,000 not Icbs than $2G,000 capital, In cities of 2.000 to 5,000 not less than $35,00, in cities of 5,000 to 25,000 not less thnn $50,000 capital, and In citicB of 25,00 to more popula tion not less thnn $100,000 cnpltal stock. All this must bo paid up. This Ib less drastic than tho original bill, but Ib more stringent thnn the present banking law. A majority of directors in any bank must reside in tho county where such bnnk Is located or In counties adjacent thereto. Each di rector must own Btock in an amount not less than $3,000 if the bank hns a $50,000 capital and not less than 4 per cent if a smaller bank. Tho di rectors may not borrow more thnn 20 per cent ench of the amount or the capital atock, and the aggregate loans to directors shall not exceed 50 per cent of the total capital. Each stockholder must bo liable in tho Bum of lits stock and that much moro for tho debts of tho corpora tions. This is tho present law aud is tho requirement of tho institution. A stockholder need not prove before In corporation that he owns ns much property outsldo bnnklng stock ns he holds that commodity. Indeed ho need not own any other property than his bank stock. Ho must, however, prove that he Is a person of integrity and financial standing to tho satisfaction of the board before any charter may be issued. Tho assessments may not exceed one-fourth of 1 per cent for each six months until July 1, 1911, un less thero Is an emergency call and af ter that date only one-twentieth of ono per cent each six months. Final Adjournment Not Fixed. After tho senate committee on flnnl adjournment reported March 30 as tho date agreed upon, somo of tho senators decided tho day was too early, and although the report had been adopted, tho senate reconsid ered its action and loft tho matter undecided. Tho house concurred In tho report. Orthopedic Hospital for Omaha. Senator Ransom presented a propo sition to tho sonate finance committee Tor tho appropriation or $15,000 to buy a site for nn orthopedic hospital for Omnha to be a part of tho Stato University School of Medicine estab lished thero. H,e told tho committee ho hnd a nlodgo of a gift for tho con struction or tho hospltnl that would not be less than $50,000, the same to bo available as Boon as tho Blto was secured.

GO OUT JO BATTLE miui I IM IVIAKUHIINU ON THE OKLA- J.1 HOMA INDIAN OUTLAWS. Jf" 1 f PREDICTION OF A BIG FIGHT Reported to Be Well Armed and Gaining Recruits Held Respon sible for Death of Six Men Near Henryetta. Chief Crazy Snake nnd 100 follow ers retreated before five companies of Oklahoma militia late Sunday night, thus deferring nn expected iJattle un til Monday. Hastily setting fire to his tepees nnd tents, the Indian leader, with his mixed company of redskins and negroes, lied from their blazing camp us the troops advanced. They took up n strong position between ths North Canadian river and Deep Fork creek, about seventeen miles east of Henryetta. Colonel Hoffmnn, in command of tho state troops, considered it unwise tj-; push tho pursuit and engage the In dians in the darkness. Accordingly, ho blvoucked his troops for the night. Early Monday morning, reinforced by a company of cowboys from around Lnwtou, Okla.. all crack shots, he will lead his forces against the Indians. Crazy Snake and his braves will be ofiored a chance to surrender. If they refuse, tho battle will be on. Colonel Hoffmnn sent out numerous scouts to watch movements of the enemy and to give tho alarm if they attempted to ileo under cover of dark ness. The commander planned to al low his troops to rest on the field dur ing the nlghtrunless the Indians at tempted to escnpo to a stronger posi tion. The mllltln officers believe Crnzy Snake wnnts to reach tho Tiger moun Utins with his followers boforo engag ing in n general fight. That the old chief Is striving to stir tho Creeks to nn uprising nnd Btrlke for what hu conceives to bo liberty was evident from the smoko of three signal fires on adjacent hills Just before sundown. Old time frontiersmen who Insist thov know what such things mean, declaro this Is a signal which always ushers in Indian trouble. Six men have been killed and a dozen wounded since the trouble be gan Thursdny. This Is the official re nnrt nnd It Is believed manv moro T the negroes and Indians wero killeu Dr. I. M. Wallace of Dustln, who went1 to the Hickory hills with tlio troopers Sunday, declared more than twenty negroes were killed Thursday and Saturday and wero given rude burial without coffins in tho vicinity where the soldiers camped Saturday.
