A Branch of baltimore Savings IN
stitution the Victim
BALTIMORE, Oct. 9.-Owing to a runor
that gained credence but was not traceable
to any responsible source there was a run
on the Southeastern Branch of the Provi-
dent Savings Bank, 1705 Rank Street. last
night
The Proyident Savings Bank, which has
its main Office at Howard and Franklin
streets. has eleven branches throughout
the city and suburbs At the Southeastern
branch the bank is kept open on Saturday
and Monday evenings from O'Clock until
9 O'Clock p m. TO afford working people an
opportunity TO deposit their savings.
When the bank opened its doors at )
o'clock ". J. Mackee, the cashier. was
confronted with a crowd Of people eagerly
demanding their deposits The majority OF
the anxious depositors were women and
children, the latter having small amounts
on stamp deposits. Between Z and o'clock
the crowd became SO great that police pro-
lection had to be called for to keep the
frightened depositoTs in order. All re-
quests for withdrawal were promptly met
by Cashier Mackee, and the bank kept its
doors open until the last depositor was sat
isfed.
Elisha H. Perkins is president of the
bank He stated to reporter that he had
no idea why the run should have been
made. as there was no reason for such ae-
ton The Provident Savings Bank said
he, has plenty of money more than we
know what to do with, and we can meet
all demands which may be made upon US
by our depositors''
Il is stated that the authority for the
rumor originated from a hysterieal woman
in Canton who had small amount in the
bank. She is reported to have become
frightened over reading the statements
that il Bryan is elected money would de-
preciate in value to so cents on the dollar.
Then she got to talking to her neighbors
and advised them to withdraw their money
from the Southeastern branch, saying that
It would be better not to take any risks.

marks spread like wildfre. with the conse-
quence of drawing a large crowd of alarm

RULES FOR COLLEGE ATHLETES
Effort to Put IA Stop to Abuse OF
Amateur Sports.

NEW YORK. Oct 9.-The committee
composed of professors Of the leading col
Ieges which has for more than two years
been dealing with the abuse of amateur
sports in the colleges and planning rules
to put stop to many Of the practices now
being INDUCED in has just made its re-
port. The new rules are most exhaustive,
and calculated to develop sports at the col
leges on strictly amateur lines. The COM
mittee which has framed the regulations is
as follows:
Prof. I. n. Hollis, Harvard; Prof. George
S. Patterson, University of Pennsylvania;
Prof. Henry B. Fine. Princeton; Prof. VIII
fred H Munroe, Brown; President Benja-
min 1. Wheeler, University OF California;
Prof. James F. Kent. Columbia; Professor
Louis N. Jennis, Cornell,
The above were appointed as result Of
a conference on inter- collegiate athletics
held st Brown University on February IS
1898 Considering the standing OF the
members of the committee and the time
they have taken to draw up the report,
there is little doubt that the conditions
will be accepted.
1t Is proposed to place many restrictions
on the students which are not covered by
TIE new conditions a man will not only
have to pass his entrance examinations,
but will have to satisfy the athletic COM
mittee that he intends to remain at the
university throughout the year and take a
full years work. The class Of students
who indulges in the summer nine" or
other semi professional ventures are also
dealt with in a manner that will mean the
extinction of the college man as part OF
those 1uxuries. Permission of the athletic
committee viii also have TO be obtained
before a student can represent his college
in more than one branch of sport.
Another far-reaching rule is to the effect
that no university team shall take part in
any public contests On a1y other than col
lege grounds while a direct blow is aimed
at the college athletes who have been in
the habit Of competing in games held under
the auspices Of athletic clubs by the pro-
vision that no match games, races, OF ex-
hibitions arranged by any athletic orgaDi-
zation shall take effect until it has been
approved by the athletic committee. The
rules as to the training table and expenses
are made particularly stringent, and man
will be debarred from university teams il
he owes money for his share of training
table expenses Of previous team.

nency of power that every man, woman and
child in the archipelago will know that we
mean to stamp out this warfare. In addi-
ton to send there an army so large and

four objects.
