WOMEN KEEP UP BANK RUN
frightened Depositors Continue t
Draw Their Money

NEW YORK, January 12-Through the
freezing rain last night and a chilly fog
early today a score of depositors waited at
the doors of the State Bank, on Grand
street, to head the line when the run on
mat bank was resumed today. For two
days the frightened Hebrews of the Ea st
SIDE have been engaged in frenzied rush
for no other apparent reason than that they
saw a rush of depostors to place their
money in the bank
Long before the bank was opened for
business today the. number of those waiting
TO withdraw their deposits had Increased 10
zoo of whom four-fifths were women. An
parently, 1t is the women who are keeping
up the run, and In sthe big crush Yesterday y
they predominated. =, =
A detail of policemen was on duty at the
bank all night and twenty fresh men were
sent there early today.
Cashier A. /. Voorhis said today that the
pank PAID out $saoO0 yesterday and that he
believed the excitable Hebrews would begin
to come to their senses today and see the
foolishness, OF the run, realizing that the
bank Is financially strong and will meet
every demand promptly, no matter how
prolonged the rush.
When the doors of the bank opened the
women were admitted first There was not
nearly as great a crush as yesterday and
the crowd was orderly. About 400 peonle
were in line. A truckload of $4,000 silver
dollars was brought to the bank early TODAY
and carried through the crowd to the
vaults. 1t was announced that 500. 900 in
gold would be brought up from the sub
treasury to be held In readiness, If needed

POSTOFFICEINSPECT
THE FORCE HAS BEEN TRANSFER
RED TO POSTMASTER GENERAL.

The Postmaster General today issued an
ordex transferring to his Office from that
of the fourth assistant postmaster general
the division of post Office inspectors. This
.snove has been contemplated for a long
time, Mr.. Wynne being of the opinion that
the work of the inspectors could be best ac-
complished if they were directly under the
Postmaster General than under the fourth
assistant, as has been the case since the
creation of that Office in 1891.
Mai Estes G. Rathbone was then chief
inspector, and when the transfer of the
division was made coincidentally with the
creation of the Office of fourth assistant
he was appointed to the last named office
There are about two hundred inspectors
covering the country under the direction
of this division, and it Is held that the
work of supervision should be under the
Postmaster General directly instead OF
compelling that official to make his investi-
cations through subordinate official.
The text of the order follows:
1.-The division of post Office inspectors,
heretofore under the general supervision
of the fourth assistant postmaster general
is hereby transferred and assigned to the
Postmaster General, and the regulations
of the department amended in con-
formty Herewith. This order to take ef-
feet January 16, 1908.
(SigneD ROBERT j. WYNNE,
POSTMASTER General"
The order was signed late yesterday, but
was kept secret for reasons of official cour-
tesy. Mr.. Bristow was notified by the
Postmaster General Immediately upon its

Taking up the subject of unreasonable
rates. Mr. Spencer referred to the state
ment which had been made to the commit
tee that rates were thirtythree thousandths
of / per cent higher in 1903 than in 1899,
making total raise of $155, GOO, COO.
This he conceded to be true when the
gross receipts were taken into considera-
ton. He gave as a reason the increase in
the price of commodities of every descrip-
ton, and consequently the cost of opera
ton of railways. The net return to the
roads had been less than in 1899 1t was
a singular coincidence also, he mentioned
that the comparison was made with the
year 1899, which was the lowest year as
to rates in the history of American rail-
roads.

Conditions in South Russia.

Private advices received from southern
Russia describe the conditions there as
very grave. The war is more than un-
popular, and this seems to be augmented
by the fact that martial law exists in
nearly every city in the south The uni
versitfeS are closed, factories are closed
or working with very small force, and
the country is full of discontented work
ers and families of reservists, who have
been sent OFF to war, in the greatest pow
erty. Wholesale arrests are made every
DAY, and the police in many cases are un-
able TO cope with the situation The
strict policy of the government toward
the students at the present time creates
intense feeling, and the antagonism of
the students Is the cause of serious worry
10 the government. In many cases the
professors are siding with the students
making the aspect very dark. Great dis
tress prevails in all the villages on ac-
count OF the medium crops and scarcity
Of labor, the majority of men having been
drafted into the army with no remunera-
tion.
The situation in Russia the advices say.
has never been so gloomy as IL is now
The unwillingness of St. Petersburg TO
meet the demands of the Zemstyos in
whom great hopes have been laid by the
peoples has been the starting point of
serious troubles. The writer is also in
formed that the authorities have never
been more arbitrary than they are now
and their measures are daily resented by
street riots in which firearms are often
used on both sides. Although such incl
dents have occurred before their fire.
quency at this time clearly shows the re-
bellfous spirit OF the people, who seem to
act under the idea that they have moth
ing TO lose The war has assumed al
most a secondary place, and the internal
conditions are occupying every ones at

A dense fog which settled over the city
during the1light added to the seriousness
of the situations, and barher traffic suf-
fered almost as seriously as the land trans
portation lines. The fog seembined with the
ice-coated rails to disarrange schedules on
the elevated as well as the surface lines,
and thousands of persons found themselves
from ten minutes to half AN hour late in
reaching their. places Of business IN the

practically suspended in some quarters.

over the city in the forenoon, and as the
temperature remained near the freezing
point the Improvement in condition was
very slow.
During the forenoon the fog became
more dense than it had been in the early
