RUN ON ST. LOUIS BANKS.
Demands Are Promptly Met by In.
stitutions Affected.

From shortly before 1 o'clock Tuesday
afternoon until the closing hour, 3
o'clock, runs were made in the savings
departments of three banks of st. Louis
and at the same time more than the or
dinary amount Of Withdrawals by saw
ings depositors were noticeable in the
other banking institutions.
The run, so far as it can be traced,
was started by disquieting rumor from
the outside that seemed to strike st.
Louis shortly after noon to the effect
that the savings institutions there were
unsound, and like prairie fire 1t spread
in flash through the streets and differ
ent mercantile establishments whose en-
ployes represent the majority OF the saw
ings depositors.
With rush the corridors of the Lin
coin Trust Company, the Mercantile
Trust Company and the Mississippi Val
ley Trust Company were filled with men
and women, all eager to withdraw their
money. The scene in any one bank was
duplicated i'll the other two. A line of
people with bank books in their hands
and faces eagerly scanning the little
barred windows of the bank tellers

mingled were policemen and bank officials
counseling calmness and giving assur-
ances of solvency.
st. Louis bankers and trust company
officials with one voice lay the blame for
the runs on Chicago stock brokers, whom
they accuse Of deliberately circulating
malicious and utterly unfounded rumors
concerning st. Louis financial institutions
for the purpose Of depressing and 'bear-
ing" the stock market.
As soon as the runs started all other
business was laid aside and every facil-
ity was afforded for the prompt payment
OF deposits. The clause which gives the
bank tine privilege Of Withholding pay
ment until sixty days after notification
was waived and amounts were paid rap
idly, regardless Of their size. There was
no disorder manifested at any of the in
stitutions, and in many cases depositors
who had hurried to withdraw their
money departed without it after having
convessed q few minutes with the off,
cials.
The directors of the different trust
companies at meetings Tuesday night de-
cided to enforce the thirty and sixty-day
notification clause in an effort to stop all
tendency to a continuation Of runs.

REVOLT IN sANTo DOMINGO.

People Turn Against Wos Gil and
Seek New President.
The town of Santiago, in the Domin-
lean republic, was surrounded Monday
morning by insurgent troops under the
command of General Epifanio Rodri-
guez. After severe fighting, which last
ed for several hours and during which a
number of men were wounded, the revo-
lutionists triumphed and Santiago fell
into their hands. The revolution, which
has broken out in the northern part of
the republic of Santo Domingo and
which has already resulted in the estab-
lishment of provisional government at
Puerto Plata under the presidency of
General Morales, was caused by the nu-
merous custom house frauds and the pre-
varications of the ministers of war and
finance. The revolutionary outbreak is
extending and the general opinion is that
the government of President Wos y Gil
is lost. Vice President Deschamps has
abandoned the government.

ain Feudists of Kentucky.
Unique in the history of religious war
fare is the soulsaying campaign which
the Salvation army has inaugurated in
the mountain region of Kentucky. Arm
ed with no other weapons than song and
prayer and religious zeal. these pioneers
of the church militant have confidently
gone into the feud-ridden districts, where
mans life is held cheaper than that of
dogs and red-handed assassination
stalks abroad.
This daring scheme of the evangelical
ton originated with Col. Richard E.
Holz of Cleveland, and provincial officer
in charge Of the army work in Ohio and
Kentucky. He conceived il to be the
duty of the army TO send n special expe-
dition to the wild mountaineers Imbued
with the spirit of the army organization,
which aims to reach the needy, neglect
ed and Indifferent through unusual chan
uels, Col Holz formed a picked brigade
of six members, and himself has gone as
their leader.
Selected primarily as able speakers,
the members of the brigade have also
been chosen with a view to their physical
endurance, because they will ride many
miles a day. hold meetings every night
and rough it generally. They are provid-
ed with full camping-out equipment and
al. the accessories of the soldier, minus
weapons.
This tour of the Salvation cavalry is
planned to last only for n few weeks
and is in reality only n preliminary
skirrnish. covering seven counties. When
the brigade has introduced Salvation
work along this route, it is proposed to
establish permanent posts at all the
points touched upon.

ACCUSES MORGAN AND scHwAB

| Receiver of Shipbuilding Company
ArraiEns Financiers.
J. P. Morgan, Charles NJ. Schwab,
Col. j. ]. McCook and others are ar
raigned severely by Receiver James
Smith, Jr., in his report on the United
States Shipbuilding Company's affairs,
which was filed with United States Cir
| cult Judge Patrick, in Trenton, N. j.,
on Thursday. Mr.. Smith states that
Charles NJ. Schwab, J. p. Morgan, Her
bert Satterlee, MOrgan's sOn-in-law, and
several vendors or controlling owners Of
constituent companies received bonds
and stock for which no equivalent was
ever paid the United States Shipbuild-
ing Company.
His report charges that Schwab and
Morgan alone received $2O,OOO,OOO pre-
ferrcd and common stock, for which they
rendered absolutely no equivalent. He
also characterizes as reprehensibie the
secret Morgan-Schwab-Har Gates Il
Co. agreement by which the $4,000, 900
of Morgan and Schwab preferred and
common Shipbuilding stock was to be
marketed in advance of other outside
securities.
Terms such as fraudulent" and "rep-
reher sible' abound in the report, which
is remarkable also for its drastic and un-
gloved handling of various questionable
phases of United States Shipbuilding
promotion, and particularly the farcical
sale OF the Bethlehem Steel Company by
Charles NJ. Schwab.
Receiver Smith goes so far as to int-
mate strongly that Charles NJ. Schwab
was acting simply as an agent for the
steel trust when he paid $7,20O,OOO for
the Bethlehem plant.
The receivership report specially ital-
icizes the manner in which j. P. Nor
gan dominated c. NJ. Schwab as well as
Others in shipyard promotion in forcing
the purchase of the Bethlehem plant for
S9,OGO,0O0 first mortgage gold bonds,
lien on the Bethlehem plant and $780,
100000 preferred and common United
States Shipbuilding stock.
