There was a slight run this afternoon the
bank but all depostors paid off as prompt
ly as they presented their books. and the bank
officials do not look for any further trouble in
this direction. The sight of stacks of bills in
side the cashiers window had a tendency to
allay the fears of several patrons of the bank
who alarmed at the sensational stories printed
went there to draw out their deposits.
President Heidritter said the report that the
missing had deposited GONE of his steal
ings With the bank in the name OF the woman
who figures in the case, was absolutely untrue
unless it was small amount. Every large
count on the books had been verified and the
creditors were known to the bank. The Ameri-
can Surety Company has paid to the bank the
$4,000 for which it went on the young mans
bond.

Kean is president, it Is announced will render
all the financial aid needed to the Elizabeth

Trenton n J.. Oct 10 (SpeciaD.-In speaking
of the Elizabethport Banking Company to-day
Mr. Johnson Deputy Commissioner of Banking
and Insurance said that when the examiners
made an investigation last March April the
banks affairs, far they could discover
were in excellent condition. At the same time
he had no doubt that the defalcations of William
Schneider had then been going on for a consid-
cradle time, the examiners being deceived by
! falsied accounts
Commenting upon the system OF making such
examinations, Mr.. Johnson admitted that it is
entirely inadequate a guard against such oc-
/ currences. This fact he said had been pointed
time and time again by the department
It was easy enough, he continued, to ascertain
the assets of a bank but the only practica BILE
way in which its liabilities could be arrived at
with certainty was to call in the pass books
, and compare them with the ledgers Any such
movement by the department would almost in
, + evitably precipitate run the bank. To com
pare the ledgers with the books of original entry
( covering any considerable period, Mr.. Johnson
aminers at a bank for probably month at
time. Without wishing to criticise the banks
Mr.. Johnson thought that they should be the
ones TO keep close watch their EMPLOYEES
this being a matter in which they we're &C
deeply interested the public at large He
commended the plan of metropolitan banks i'm
having the movements of their emploves
watched and noting if they were spending moro
money than their incomes warranted
