How Haskell Boosts Bank
Guarantee by Deposit, of
State Funds.
NATIONAL BANKS GAINING
Though Deposits Jfot Guaranteed,
They Show Large Increase Guar
antee Fund Deposited in
Banks Without Interest.
GfTHRIE. Okla.. Fpt. (Special.)
There re some features of the Okla
homa bank deposit guarantee law that
William J. Bryan does not refer to In
Ms campaign boosts of the "Oklahoma
Idea." For Instance, a statement was
recently prepared by Governor C. N. Has
kell and given to the public throuch Roy
oakes. secretary of the State Banking
Board, quoting figures to show that the
deposits In the Oklahoma guaranteed
banks have Increased J4.509.:21 since the
law went into effect on February 4 last.
Mr. Bryan comments lovingly upon this
fact, as proving that the people like the
deposit guarantee plan. What Mr. Bryan
does not dwell. upon, however. Is the fact
that Increase In the deposits in the guar
anteed banks Is due to the deposit in
those bnks of a special fund belonging
to the state, controlled bv state officials
and amounting to J3.600.000. The money
belongs to the state .school fund and not
to private Individuals, as the campaign
orators seem to want the people to
believe.
Increase Alt Comes From State.
j Under ths statehood act Congress set
' aside 15.000.000 of the proceeds -f the
! land sale for the benefit of the Oklahoma
I school fund. When the new state began
I business. Jl.S00.0n0 of this amount was
! withdrawn, and the balance of $3,500,000
left In the United States Treasury. After
the deposit guarantee law went Into ef
fect, however, the Governor withdrew
the $3.&oo.000 and deposited It In the
state banks. That accounts for prac
tically all of the Increase In the deposits
boasted of by Mr. Bryan.
The same statement shows that during
the same period the state withdrew from
the Natlonai, or unsecured, banks a total
ef JS69.919. These figures are- intended
by the Democratic spellbinders to show
that the depositors' guarantee law has
resulted In a great Increase of deposits
In state banks protected by the guaran
tee fund and a correspondingly large
loss to the unsecured banks.
Unsecured Banks Have Increase.
A close examination of the figures,
however, shows that during the period
from February 14 to May 14 the Na-
tional tanks actually gained In deposits
from sources outside the state funds
$9.112.
Another feature of the guarantee plan,
as it Is working In Oklahoma, has not
been dwelt upon by Mr. Bryan. It Is the
. fact that the fund which is being held
to guarantee losses by bank failures is
deposited In some bank or banks of the
state, and the bankers who are getting
the use of the money are not required to
pay Interest upon It to the state. This
furnishes a snug sum upon which some
one may speculate without any outlay
of Interest. If he should so desire.
HARRY THAW TO BE CITED
Failure to Meet His Creditors May
Cause Trouble.
PITTSBURG. Sept. 12. A petition for
a certificate citing Harry K. Thaw for
contempt for his failure to attend the
second meeting of his creditors here yes
terday was hied before Referee in Bank
ruptcy Blair today by Mr. Boyd, of
Poughkeepsie.. N. Y., representing a
Poughkeepste hotelkeeper. Mr. Blair later
issued the certificate.
It k now believed that Mr. Boyd will
file the certificate in the United States
Court and ask for a rule to force Thaw
to come to Pittsburg and show cause
why he should not be punished for con
tempt. This will probably be done next
week.
Roger O'Mara, trustee for Thaw, re
turned from Poughkeepsie today. He said
Thaw was well, but was not particularly
anxious to come to Pittsburg at this time
unless bis creditors wanted him to come.
THAW'S JAIL IS CHANGED
Sheriff Chanler Gets Kid of Unwel
come Prisoner.
POUGHKEEPSIE. N. Y.. Sept. 12.
Harry K. .Thaw will be transferred on
Monday from the Dutchess County Jail
County, under an order issued by Su
preme Court. Justice Mills at a special
term In this city.
The White Plains Jail was selected be
cause Thaws habeas corpus proceedings,
under which he hopes to obtain a Jury
trial as to his sanity, are to be heard
by Justice Mills at White Plains, on
September 51. Thaw would have been
transferred to White Plains on that date,
and the effect ot Judge Mills- new order
Is simply to send him there a week
earlier than Intended.
The application was made by Edward
Perkins, the attorney for Sheriff Chan
ler. who has never liked being custodian
of Thaw, and who took advantage of the
report of Secretary Mclaughlin of the
State Prison Commission on conditions
In the Poughkeepsie Jail to ask the court
to transfer Thaw.
Charles Morschauser. attorney for
Thaw, made no opposition.

"What is a Grand Piano?" we asked one of Portland's prominent musi
cians yesterday. "
"What is a Grand Piano?" this man of music and temperament replied.
"In the heart of the woods a storm is raging; trees, centuries old, are the
keys; the mighty performer is the wind. Hear the sighs and sobs, the shouts
and whispers, the excitement and accentuation, the melancholy, the "intense
ness and the power, the vibration of agitated branches, of the sweeping of
unseen hands. Is it not a glorious, swelling anthem? Fluttering leaves and
little twigs, like grace notes, ripple down. Suddenly all is rest; peace and
contentment and quiet; the storm is over. .The magnificent melody ceases.
"What this means in Nature that is the grand piano to the musician.
A grand piano ah, it is the culmination, the cornucopia of the world's most
glorious music. It is the instrument for genius. It thrills and responds and
throbs. It glories at the master's touch."
