OAKLAND BANKS
DOING BUSINESS
Soldier Stationed at Each En-
trance to Keep the Idle
ThrongS From Entering.

Oakland. April 26-The Oakland
banks opened for the second time to-
day and from all appearances the Oc-
casion might have been the ordinary
banking hours of the various institu-
tions. At several of the banks only
small group of persons were in sight
to transact, while at one or two places
not more than two or three patrons
occupied the attention of the tellers.
Yesterday there was a great deaR
more money deposited than withdrawn,
which the officials take as a further
indication that business has continued
with slight interruption and that busi-
ness men and others have only been
awaiting an opportunity to deposit
their money.

banks will not avail themselves of
their further resources at the mint.
Soldier at Each Entrance.
A soldier is stationed at the en-
trance to each bank, but this is rIerely
to prevent the entrance of those who
have no business within or would en-
ter merely through curiosity.
Signs were displayed at the various
banks that checks are received only
for collection, but this refers merely
to checks on interior banks whose
definite standing has not yet been made
known.
The banks of Berkeley opened their
doors today for the first time. They
were only opened for accommodation,
honoring no checks except those en-
their own banks. These are limited
to $50. Until financial conditions are
settled no general banking business will
be done. The banks are merely act
ing as a relief committee on their
own account. disregarding the procIa-
nation OF the governor making each
day a legal holiday.
Both the Berkeley National and the
First National banks have received a
large sum of money from the mint in
