WASHINGTON, ID. O., June 5.-The
President said this evening in reply to
direct question by representative Of
the Associated Press that he intended
to call an extra session OF Congress not
earlier than the first nor later than the
fifteenth OF September, unless unex-
pected contingencies should nscessitate
an earlier meeting.
The President further said: "While
there has been no mystery nor secrecy
In regard TO my intention In this nat
ter, | think IL not amiss that
our people should be informed
authoritatively that the time Is
at hand when the representatives In
Congress will be called upon TO deal
with a financial condition, which 10 the
only menace to the country's welfare
and prosperity. IL is well for the pee
pie TO take up the subject for them
selves ana arrive at their own conclu-
sions as TO the merits OF financial
policy which obliges us TO
purchase idle silver bullion with the
gold taken from our reserve. One does
not need the eye OF hHancier 10 see
that this gold thus sbstracted from the
governments stock Is eagerly seized by
other nations for the purpose OF
strengthening their credit at our ex-
pense.
"lt does not need the art OF states
manship TO detect the danger that
awaits upon the continuance OF this
operation. Already the timidity OF
capital is painfully apparent and none
OF US can fail TO see that fear and APP
prehension in monetary circles Will ul-
timately bring suffering TO everJ hum
BILE home in our land.
81 think that between now and the
meeting OF Congress much depends
upon the action OF those engaged In H.
nancial operations and business enter
prises Our vast national resources
and credit are abundantly sufficient TO
justify them In the utmost faith and con-
ildence. II instead OF being frightened
they are conservative and II instead OF
gloomily anticipating immediately dis .
aster, they contribute their share Of
hope and steadlness they will perform q
patriotic duty. and at the sane<iipe.
protect their own interests. What
now is needed is calmness In financial
circles and reflection among our poo
ple."

CHICAGO, June 5.-The failure of
Herman Shaffner & Co, which occurred
last Friday, bore fruit to-day in we'll de-
fined runs which were precipitated on
almost II not every one Of the savings
banks Of Chicago.
Tue FIRST 70 feel the effect Of the eI-
citement was the Bank Of Commerce,
where . great many Jewish citizens OF
the poorer class keep their accounts.
These took alarm As the result OF the
Shafner failure and bore down upon
the Ban Of Commerce In full force at
the opening hour. The te!lers were
doubled up and paid checks as fast as
presented throughout the day. The
excitement spread and soon involved
the other savings institutions.
The Illinois Trust Co. which has
larger line Of this class Of deposits than
any other bank In the city, amounting
at times to over $4,000, 900, put on an
extra force OF tellers and paid every one
as rapidly ss possible, and at o'clock
posted notice on the front door that the
bank would remain open until o'clock
tonight and as long as the present ex-
cltement should continue.
At twelve o'clock tonight the Illinois
Trust & Savings Bank was still paying
OF and the crowd Of dePositOr' anxious
20 draw their money was still as large
as ever. The Dank officials said that
they cared nothing whatever for the
run, but were rather pleased
than otherwise TO pay out the
money as IL meant big saving 70 the
institution in interest, the quarterly In
stalment being due on July l, and which
all depOsitOrs who drew their money to-
day have lost. The bank officers esti-
mate that the run so far has given them
a net profit OF S35, 600. II was an
nounced at midnight that the bank
would not close as long as single de-
positOr cared TO draw out dollar.
The Hibernian bank, which as the
name implies, was the depository for a
large number OF Irish Americans Of
small means, was crowded all day, but
found no difficulty in meeting the de-
mand, and AZ o'clock the excitement
had perceDtibly decreased.
The Dime Savings paid percentage
only on each deposit.
The Globe Savings applied the thirty
day rule.
The Milwaukee Avenue Savings sus'
tained a moderate run throughout the
day, and they TOO kept open house until
8 o'clock tonight.
Equally spirited checking was notice
able upon the Prairie State Savings and
Union Trust Company, as we'll as upon
the Avenue Savings Bank, but In no
case was any alarm felt by well-in-
formed people. The situation WAS greatly
aggravated by number Of board OF
trade brokers, who, for purposes OF
their own devoted themselves TO the
circulation Of rumors which involved
At one time OF another nearly every
bank in the city, aud large number Of
leading stock yard operators. Notwith-
standing these malicious stories, there
IA every reason 70 believe that none OF
the leading banking institutions, wheth-
or savings, State or national, OF Chicago
are in any danger Of suspending.
The failure OF MeadoWcroit Bros, q
minor institution. occurred but aroused
little or no interest In the minds OF the
general public. Their total deposits
did not exceed 5000, 600.

OF 81, 900 bail to await the action OF the
Grand Jury. The girls have not yet
returned, and the sentiment Of the COM

Edwin Booth was lying on his back, the
right hand above his head. The eyes were
closed for the greater part Of the time, then
they would open wide and stare vacantly.
His breath came in gasps, and although all
