Du Iley, bank commissioner, reported to-day that during the last three months thirty banks had been robbed in Kansas, ore for every third day, and that the safe crackers had obtained SIOO,OOO. During this time not one robber was captured. Commissioner Dolley says there are two organizations or gangs, one on the northern and one on the southern border of the state, and that their system of protection is so perfect as to place bank robbing among the less hazardous occupations. Attention is called to the fact that while the robbers have their headquarters in Nebraska and Oklahoma, their operations are confind to small towns in Kansas. ’
