CHALLENGE DAY September S GLOBE CLOTHINGHOUSEKE THE PUBLIC CHARGE AGAINST GOV. SMALL Understandable Basis Against Him Just Becomes Public Springfield, 111, Sept. 7.—The basis for the charges against Governor Len Small, Lieut. Gov. Fred E. Sterling and Vernon Curtis, nt Park, 11, bank or, was exp 1 in port of D, Brain, foreman of t Angamon coun- ty grand jury whict urned th indict ments, as follows: ‘From the evidence submitted it ap penrs that the treasurer of the state of 1llinois carries large daily balances and that during the ninistration of Fred K. Sterling the nees have ranged from $22,000,000 to $32,000,000. Dur ing the ninistrations of Len Small and Fred E. Sterling as treasurers of the state of Illinois, the law then in fo in this state required the state treasurer to deposit all moneys receiv ed by him on account of the state, in such banks as pald the highest interest rate. We find that both the letter ana spirit of the law was violated. Instead of loaning the state money to all secure banks of the state, without discrimina tion, and ich of them as paid the highest interest rate, only a portion of that money was loaned in a with the provisions of the law. For the purpose of circumventing those provi slons an ingenious scheme was devised and closely adhered to."

The average deposits of stare moneys carried by this purported bank were $10,000,000 ““The evidence shows that money was taken from the state treasury gen erally in lots of five hundred thousand dollars and deposited in the so-callea Grant bank, which thereupon issued and delivered to the state treasurer cer tificates of deposit for the amounts re celved, but without any collateral we curity. 1In oth the only evid ence of indebtedness and the only ne eurity held by the treasurer for loan agrregating $10,000,000 were paper obs Mgations on a ficticious bank “The ¥ in purch BAN ON ANIMALS Parliament's Speakers Refuse Admis- son 0 English Govt.
