tinues to make demands on this center for
cash. The sum Of $06000e was sent by
telegraphic transfer from the subtreasury
today and direct shipments Of about the
same amount were made by local banks

exchange houses agree that the substantial
interests of ST. Louis have the situation
well in hand.

Crowds Thinning Out.

At the various Institutions named the
officials stated to the Associated Press that
current accounts ale being received and
paid out as usual. The early crowds which
thronged the doors and fought for a place
in line have become thnned out. many of
the savings depositors taking their blank
notices of withdrawal home. Officers if the
different institutions made reassuring
speeches to the depositors before their
doors and this helped to send others away.
The arrival of several boxes of gold and
silver in express wagons guarded by armed
officers, seemed to restore a degree of con-
tidence in the crowd before the Mercantile
Trust Company building. President Walsh
of the Mississippi Trust Company stated to
the Associated Press that he believed the
excitement was about over.
Henry M. Meier. vice president of the
Missouri Trust Company, made this state
n.ent today:
Oar institution has money in abundance
to meet demands Of whatever nature. The
demand this morning was very light COM
pared to that of yesterday. There arr now
about 125 persons outside the building.
Considering that we have 10000 accounts It
will be seen that very small percentage
of the depositors desire to withdraw. All
OF the banks and trust companies nave
sufficient funds to tide them over the pres
ent situation. The Missouri Trust Com
pany is enforcing the thirty-day nottf1ca-
ton clause regarding savings accounts

Police Unable to Control Crowds.

BY 10 o'clock the crowd around the trust
companys building had increased to such
an extent that the police were totally un-
able to control it, and the of{icers stationed
at the doors were swept away from their
stations almost as rapidly as they could re-
gain them Women, who constituted a large
percentage of the crowd, were crushed in
the jam and in the struggle their dresses
were torn and their hats knocked off.
The policemen in trying to handle the
crowd pushed many OF them into the gut
ter. and in several Instances personal fights
were averted only by the interposition of
cooler persons.
When the doors of the Mercantile Trust
Company were opened Locust street, east
of the building, was packed, while the
streets to the west and Sth street, both to
the north and south, We're comparatively
clear Half hour later, however, both

several hundred feet and all efforts to keep

while the police directed their efforts chiefly

A Plea For Better Roads.

There seems to be a general
movement for better roads all over
the state. Organizations are being
formed and committees appointed
in the different counties to thor
.oughly investigate and study the
merits and dement's of the present
system Of road making and road
working. We believe our people
should meet and organized and APP
point committee Of three good
men of known ability in each mag
,istered district to look over our
Roads and make snch recommends
tons to the Board of Supervisors
as they deem wise or report, where
roads under the present system are
mot kept up to specifications. We
should create as much sentiment
against the present condition of
our roads as can be aroused. Just
think for once, we are paying in
the neighborhpod of $4,000 annu-
ally and every citizen shonld be so
int nsely interested under such
burdens of taxation, that he should
see that every dollar is wisely APP
,propriated for the permanent good
of our roads.
We believe through careful man
agement that one-half of the mon
ey now expended upon the roads
would keep them up to present
conditions. And the other half
could be used in each district to
make a mile or so Of good road
each; so in II years we would have
all the first class roads in the coun-
,ty in first class condition. We have
over two hundred miles of road in
the county, more than half of this
is second and third class roads and
costs us (including all) about $l4
per mile. We have heard it re-
Gently said that there hasn't been

should be greatly interested in so
important a matter. We should

and talk oyer the matter and posi-
bly, organize the Highland County
Good Roads Association. and APP
point suitable men to investigate
and report on the condition Of the
present roads, and the changes etc,
to be effected on the same, in his
neighborhood. 1t is reasonable to
believe that every tax payer in the
county would readily join and lend
a helping hand.
We havn't the time or space to
discuss the present conditions of
the roads or out line a definite
policy but would be glad to hear
from all who are interested. Wise
