from T 1 1 farure of the Borough Bank of

t t'liam iJow and others lal fall. When
tl e.ltorough bank closed It was discovered
til iit the oriental bunk liuil loaned it I-So.OiiO
and It was asserted that this was refnrned
to tlie Oriental as rt of the i-npltal stock
of the International Tml company.
HMaid W, 'Jum V-, i r sldcnt of the
Oriental bank, retired in November, and
Hugh Kellt y, a wcll known commission
merchant, was elected president. In the
distrust which followed the Prooklyn dis
closures the Oriental suffered considerably,
and It was compelled to take out about
$-.f"0.0O0 of clearing house certificates.
About I1,(MjO." of these bad been retired
when the clearing house refused to Issue
any more certificates to the Oriental and
a few banks which were in need of further
assistance. When these facts became
known yesterday the depositors began to
make heavy withdrawals, tatting out about
JjeO.OIO.
Twelve of the leading financial institu
tions of the city volunteered yesterday to
assist the distressed Institution to the ex
tent of fl.0"0,to in caalv provided the di
rectors would become individually responsi
ble for the loan. The majority of the di
rectors agreed to tliia, but there were some
among their number who were unable to
do so-and the plan failed. The-directors
at a meeting this morning deckled to place
the affairs of the bank In tiie hands of
the-state banking department. Charles E.
Ievy, one of the directors, announced that
none of the depositors would suffer any
loss of consequence In Its doting.
Thete was a debit balance of 1939.(110
against the Oriental bank In the clearing
bouse today. Inability to meet this de
mand and satisfy the depositors at its
doors precipitated the closing? of the of
fice. Depositors of one of the smaller state
banks in Brooklyn started a run todqy.
Most of the accounts withdrawn were

of coal from 3,(A to 10.000 pounds, decided
to weigh a car of coal received yesterday

(From a Staff Correspondent )
LINCOLN. Jan. 31. (Special.) Governor
8heldon has returned from his trip to Kan
sas, where he delivered a speech on the
occasion of the annual banquet of the
Kansas Day club. He was busy all morn
ing with a hearing on a requisition and
this afternoon with correspondence.
He said today he would not call an extra
session of the legislature for the passage
cf a law guaranteeing bank deposits. Res
olutions recently p"ed by the Omaha
Real Estate exchange expressed the need
of an extra session for enacting such a
law. "1 have not received requests suffi
cient to Justify me In callfhg an extraor
dinary session," said the govrrnor.
Paper Makes a Bis Mistake.
The State Board of Tublle Inds and
Buildings went up in the air, figuratively
speaking, this afternoon when a cllpplnjr
from the Ixa Angeles Times was received
by Secretary of State Junkln. The clip
ping was an account of the horrors of the
Illinois Insane asylum, under Investigation
by a legislative committee, credited to the
Feeble Minded Institute of Nebraska. The
date line of the, story was Uncoln, Neb.
A reading of the article showed, however,
that the wrong date line had been used,
but Secretary Junkln has an Idea unless
attention is called to the matter readers
of the Los Angeles paper will always be
lieve that Nebraska is as uncivilised as
Illinois.

Governor Sheldon's commutation of the

Comsnlasloa Order Depot.
The State Railway commission this aft
ernoon ordered the Hock Island railroad to
construct a depot at Vniverslty Place and
Install an agent. The order gives the rail
road company until July 1 to construct the
station and provides the plans and specifi
cations must be on file with the commis
sion by April 1. The depot Is to contain
500 feet of floor space. As a preliminary to
the order Commissioner Clarke wrote an
exhaustive brief answering all the points
raised by the defendant railroad company,
which challenged the right of the commis
sion to make such an order, but, holding
that the commission could do only what
the legislature specifically provided It
could do. Mr. Clarke held In his opinion
that the commission derived its powers
from the people who adopted the constitu
tional amendment and that the legislature
had the power only to regulate Uie pro
cedure of the commission In conducting
hearings and proceedings, rIIe quotes from
decisions of courts to uphold his conten
tion that even without legislative action
the commission could act under the au
thority granted by the constitution, and
until the courts hold otherwise the com
mission expects to act accordingly. ,
Railroad Car Reports.
The car shipments reported to the Rail
way commission for July, August, Septem
ber and October show that the railroads of

Wlaaett oa AlleaJary.
In discussing the finding of the gold
bricks in the ruins of a saloon at Sidney,
Railway Commissioner Winnett, who was
foreman of the Jury which tried Allen, the
alleged express robber, who was acquitted,
said in his opinion all of the $106. OX) stolen
was recovered with the exception of about
$6,000. Dr. Winnett said: "Ten of the jurors
were for finding Allen not guilty, but one
other, now living at Chappell, and myself
held out for seme time that he was guilty.
During the deliberations of the Jury, we
could hear the crowd on the outside yelling
that they would hang the Jury If Allen was
found guilty, while beer and sandwiches
were banded Into the Jury room."
"Why didn't you stick It oout that Allen
was guilty?" was asked the commissioner.
"I guess we thought it wasn't a very
good Idea," smilingly replied Dr. Winnett.
You know they were prettey strenuous
days In those times and besides he might
not have been guilty."
Dr. Winnett said the gold had been
brought to Sidney by the stage and reached
the city after the train for Denver had
gone. The agent refused to accept It and
the stage people employed a guard to
watch It that night. The next day the gold
was turned over to the agent and he left
in it the station while he went to dinner.
When he returned the evidence showed he
looked Into a window and then reported
the gold had been taken. A hole had been
cut in the floor of the station and the gold
taken out and burled in some coal under
the platform, where It was later discov
ered. This hole In the floor. Dr. Winnett
said, had been prepared some time be
fore, the floor having been all but cut
through. Over the place had been stacked
a lot of crates and boxes, but the day of
the robbery these boxes were all removed.
