lately placed hydrants on every floor

had allowed the buckets to go into dis

See here! I yelled as took in the

Why answered the innocent old

SAVINGS BANK DEPOSITS.

The rumor prevalent of late In financial circles
that some Of the larger savings banks OF this city
were considering a reduction of the amounts or de-
posits in view Of checking the influx OF capital
from other persons than wage earners. appears TO
have emanated from one or two isolated sources.
Each bank is absolutely independent In regu-
lating such matters" said James Mcmahon, presi-
dent of the Emigrant Industrial Savings Bank. In
a talk with a Tribune reporter yesterday. We
take deposits as high 5000 which is the limit
fixed by State statute We have the right, how
ever and sometimes enforce 1t, OF refusing TO
accept deposits from persons whom We know TO be
capitalists Two years ago we cut down the rate of
interest from TO 3A per cent. and many round
sums left vaults which was glad 10 see 60.
OF the twcpty-six savings banks in this city, only
seven maintain the rate Of per cent, instead OF
the generally adopted rate Of S1a per cent 1t
is In these therefore that the capitalist, rather
than the working man. is likely TO place his money
These, then, the banks which find II most
necessary to adopt limitations of the amounts de-
posted. Accordingly, The Bank for Savings, No
ESQ Fourth-ave. which still pays per cent, limits
deposits TO $500 year. and 10 ST. 900 for the total de-
posit on the contrary, the Irving Savings Instltu-
ton, No. ll5 Chambers-st. which also maintains
the per cent rate. takes deposits to the maximum
limit OF 900. According TO W. H. b. Totten,
president of the bank money Is coming in TO such
an extent that sricter limitations Will no doubt be
enforced within a comparatively short time.

Racing Association will be sailed on July 21, instead

decision will be governed entirely by the time re-

boom and for stepping the Columba's new steel
mast
Herman B. Duryea chairman OF the committee
having the races In charge said to-day that he had

the second race between them would not be held
until the following Tuesday, and that the racing
after that would continue indefinitely. he did not
know how many races would be sailed There
might be ten or there might be not more than three
but the association proposes to give the boats
plenty OF chances to test the speed of each and
able the crew of the Columbia to get all the racing
practice possible.
