LINCOLN, Jan. 8.-(Speclal.)-Do the banking laws of Nebraska prevent state banks from acquiring stock In foieral reserve banks? Is a question which hafc been aBked of Secretary Itoyse of, the State Banking board In a letter from Edward H. Doyle, Detroit, Mich., presi dent of the National Association for Su pervision of State Banks. The association is to hold a meeting in either Detroit or Chicago on January 19 and tho different states of the country have been asked to be represented. The law of Nebraska says: No cornoration transacting a banking business shall make any loan or discount on the security of the shares of Its own capital stock, nor be the purchaser or holder or any sucn snaros or me snares of any corporation unless such security or purchase shall be necessary to pre vent loss upon a debt previously con tracted in good laitn; ana sucn siock bo purchased or acquired shall within six himitha from the time of Its nurchase be sold or disposed of at a public or private sale; or In default thereof a receiver shall bo appointed to close up the Dusiness ot the bank. Provided that In no case shall the amount of stock so held exceed 10 per cent of the paid up capital ot such bank. According to this Bectlon of the law, Secretary Royse says that state banks In Nebraska will have no right to acquire stock In federal reserve banks. Kansas, Missouri and Michigan have similar laws.

LINCOLN, Jan. 8.-(8pcdal.)-A writ of mandamus was allowed In tho district court of Lancaster county today to com pel the city clerk of Lincoln to recount the namos upon the petition filed for tho recall of Commissioner King of tho public safety department. The first petitions ' filed In the recall contained something over 1,800 names and the clerk threw out about 40 per cent of these, claiming that-they wcro not on the teglster as living at tho places designated. This left tho recall petition about 300 or 400 names short of the required number and an additional petition was circulated and filed containing about S00 names. Tho clerk threw out sufficient names In this petition so that the number was below the required amount to call the' election and now tho mandamus Is brought to compel the clerk to recertify the petitions.' It Is claimed that nearly 1.0U0 6f tha names thrown out are those of voters In Lincoln, who havo changed their addicss slnco the last register day, but are en titled to have their names retained on the petition as voters of the city. If these are called Into court to twear to their legal residence In the city It will be a nice sum for the taxpayers to pay. finten from Tnlilc rtncU. TABLE ItOCIC, Neb., Jan. 8.-(8pcclal.)
