NEW YORK, June IA run was
started on Irving's Savings Institution
this morning almost as soon as the
doors of the place at No. 8, Warren
street, we're opened at 80 O'CLOCK, but
at that time there were only a few de-
positors in line. AS the minutes went
by, however, and the hands Of the clock
pointed to 10 o'clock, the crowd began
to gather and when the paying teller
opened his window there were many
depositors in line.
The line kept constantly increasing,
however, and in a very short time the
little 25x25 room, in which the savings
bank does it's business, was completely
filed with depositors, whose faces
showed their great anxiety over their
savings.
In twenty minutes the paying teller
had paid out 81, 800. Treasurer G. e.
Latimer said the bank had in hand a
million dollars and could get that
much more, if necessary, atamoments
notice.

A Run Started on the Peoples Bank al
Kansas City.

KANSAS CITY, June 13.-As a result
of the suspension yesterday of the PEG
pies Savings Bank, an institution with
deposits of only $25 5000, a run was
started this morning on the Kansas
City Safe Deposit and Savings Bank.
The bank took advantage of the clause
OF IFS bylaws requiring deposigoIs to
give thirty days notice Of the with
drawal Of deposits. That checked the
run and at noon it was practically
over. None of the other banks expe-
rienced a run. just why the Kansas
City Safe Deposit and Savings Bank
should have been selected for the run
Is a mystery. 1t is the largest and one
of the soundest institutions of the kind
in the State, and has the confidence Of
the banks and merchants generally.
