While they take this view state of- jals and others declare the fault lies with the initiated law, and -ad- ministration propagandists now are conducting a campaign to try and get bankers to ask Governor Frazier to call a special session of the legisla- ture to repeal the law. The committee representing the Slope Bankers association, which con- ferred with F. W. 'Cathro, director- general of the Bank of North Dakota, late Wednesday afternoon, and other officials of the bank. said they pre- sented to Mr. Cathro telegrams from a large number of treasurers in the state stating that they would not withdraw any deposits in the Bank of North Dakota if the Bank of North Dakota did not withdraw deposits from their communities.

The bankers said ‘that they were re- ceived courteously at the Bank of North Dakota and the question of withdrawal of deposits was discussed for an hour and a half.

L. and son and after throw! ammonia in A. L. Henrickson’s scaped with unset diamonds esti- mated at $10,000. The robbery occurred this morning when two men entered the jewelry store and asked to see some diamonds. While one of the men engaged the at- tention of a clerk one of them went behind the counter with Henrickson to examine the stones; While thus engaged the robber threw ammonia into the proprietor’s face and the other man drew a revolver at the clerk who im-dodging behind a coun- ter struck his head and was knocked unconscious. The two then turned their attention to Hen son, beat him over the head with revolvers and ran from the store. Henrickson was taken to a hospital. A hasty survey of the stock reveal- ed the loss of the unset diamonds and two diamond rings.
