panies today demanded OF depositors
thirty TO sixty-day notification of
intention to withdraw deposits. Long
lines OF depositorrs are awaiting the
opening of the doors of the two insti-

assembled in front of other banking
Institutions in the city.
Fifteen policemen kept order in the
crowd around the Mercantile Trust
company's Offices. A number of men
prominent in financial circles advised
the crowd to be calm and declared
the money of the depositors was safe.
The runs started. 1t is charged,

Despite the fact that several boxes

DISCUSS FUTURE OF THE JEWS.
Remarkable Views Advanced at Lon
don Missionary Conference.


LONDON. Oct. 2s.--Some remark
able views about the future of the He
brew race were aired at the Jewish
missionary conference held In London.
The bishop OF Salisbury and Canon
Mccormick advanced varying theories
as to the biblical prophecies relating
to the return OF the Hebrews TO PaIes-
tine.
The bishop of Salisbury did not he
lieve the Hebrew people would ever
set up separate nationality until
they were converted to Christianity.
Canon Mccormick. on the other
hand, argued for literal interpret,.-
ton of the oft-quotcd prophecies on
Ibis subject. Especially In Wow Of the
eleventh chapter 3f the Epistle to tho
Romans. he believed that Jerusalem
would be peopled by Hebrews ON the
return OF the Messiah. and that then
the nation would be associated with
one OF the most astounding miracles
In all history. the conversion of ma
ton in single instant.
The bishop of Salisbury refused to
allow vote to be taken, on tho
ground that II was undesirable for
members OF the conference to ticket
themselves as Zionists or non-Zion-
lists.

JOHN MITCHELL DAY.

apparent that every colliery in the
anthracite region will be idle tomor-

turn out In body to celebrate John

that the mass Of the miners would
not return to work the day following
the celebration and that. moreover.
there would be another holiday on
election day next week, the mine own
ers have decided on general suspen-
sion OF operations, beginning with the
closing OF the mines tonight and con-
tinuing until the day after election.
This idleness will cut on about 3OO.-
