st. Louis, Oct 29.-Long before the
hour Of opening. lines OF depositora
stretched away from the closed doors
Of the Mississippi Valley Trust com.
pany, the Lincoln Trust company, the
Mercantile Trust company and the
Missouri Trust company. Smaller
crowds assembled before the doors Of
some Of the other savings institutions
also. 1t was observed that most OF
those in line were working people, and
many Of them women. whose savings
were not heavy.
The greatest crush was before the
doors Of the Mercantile Trust compa-
ny, on Eighth and Locust streets
when the doors were opened, the
crowd surged I'll with force that
swept aside the lines Of police and
bank employees formed to preserve a
regular line to the windows Of the
paying tellers of the time and open ae-
counts. The. policemen were unable to
handle the crowds, and Festus j..
Wade, president Of the Mercantile
Trust company, mounted a chair and
made a statement that unless the de-
positors formed in line they would be
all elected from the building He ex-
planned that 1t was impossible 10 wait
on them II they insisted On crowding
in such manner. This announcement
had the desired effect, and some sem
blance Of order was restored.
When as many persons as could be
accommodated at one time ia the bank
ing rooms had formed IN the two lines.
further admission was refused until
some Of the first Corners had left by a
separate entrance; then others were
admitted and forced 10 keep ia line
and leave as soon as they had transact
ed their business.
Police UnabIe to control Crowds.
An hour after opening, the crowd
around the trust company's building
had increased to such an extent that
the police were totally unable to con-
troll it, and the officers stationed al
the doors were swept away from their
stations almost as rapidly as they
could regain them. Women, who con
stituted large percentage of the
crowd, were crushed in the jam, and
in the struggle their dresses were tori
and their hats knocked Off.
1 The policemen in trying to handle thr
crowd pushed many of them into tn
gutter and ia several instances per
sonn fights were averted only by TIL
| interposition Of cooler persons.
4 When the doors Of the Mercantile
! Trust company were opened Locus
street east Of the building was packed
while the streets to the west and Eight
street, both to the north and south
were comparatively clear Half at
hour later. however, both streets were
crowded for 4 distance Of several hun
bred feet, and all efforts TO keep them
clear we're practically abandoned, while
the police directed their efforts chiefly
toward maintaining some degree Of q.
der at the doors.
