Lincoln, Dec. 14. (Special Tele
gram.) Failure of the Bank of Cass
county at i'lattsmouth will cost the
state Ruaranty fund from $100,000 to
$125,000, it was announced authori-
lively here tonight.
"Heavy withdrawals recently and
refusal of officers and directors to
put 100 per cent of cash for their re
spective shares of stock was the im
mediate cause of the crash," J. E.
Hart, secretary of the department of
trade and commerce, said. "But the
remote cause was indiscreet and ex
cessive lines of credit granted to bor
rowers by former officers and di
rectors on insufficient collateral securities,"
J. B. Chace, assistant attorney-geni
eral, left hurriedly this morning for
I'lattsmouth m answer to a call from
Fred E. Bodie, appointed receiver
for the Bank of Cass county yester
day.
J. E. Hart, secretary of the de
partment of trade and commerce,

transactions in the bank will be made
and that court action may follow.
Iu the last four days 80,000 was
withdrawn from the institution,

had deposes of $440,000. cnnital of
$50,000 and surplus of $10,000.

Wool Men Oppose
President's Plan
To Adjust Tariff
Proposal for Authority; to
Change Rates Branded as
"Altogether Impracti
cable, Undersirahle."
Washington, Dec. 14. resident
Harding's proposal to congress that
he be given authority to adjust tariff
rates as changing conditions might
warrant is "altogether Impracticable
and undesirable," J. P. Wood of Phil
adelphia, president of the National
Association of Wool Manufacturers,
declared today before the senate
finance committee at hearings on the
wool schedule in the tariff bll.
Such a plan, he said, would keep
industries "in a state of unrest" and
would result in constant pressure for
changes being brought to bear on the
president and on the tariff commit
tee. Senators Smoot of Utah and Wat
son of Indiana, republican members
of the committee, differed with Mr.
Wood, arguing that the plan would
result in less uncertainty for business
than would otherwise follow the
liquidation in Europe and the chang
ing values of currencies abroad. Sen
ator Smoot declared that under pres
ent conditions congress would have
tb delegate authority as to tariff rates
in some such manner as suggested by
the president.
While agreeing that. business here
would have to suffer some measure of
demoralization because of conditions
overseas, Mr. Wood said he did not
believe present conditions would last
as long as some students thought.
In a statement read to the commit
tee, Mr. Wood suggested, in effect,
that the entire" wool schedule in the
Fordney bill be rewritten on the old
grease basis instead of on the basis I
of the clean, scoured content and that I
hiilicr rnmoeniatorv rates be Brant
e4 on manufactures of wool. lie did
not sugaett any specific basis on raw
wool, tie approved oi me American
valuation plan as-'iue oniy leatiun
method suggested to otTset the depre
elating foreign currency."
