the gasoline in It's stores, carried pas
sengers on ferry free. sent steam

refugees off the piers to places of safe

F. J. Reichnan of Streets Western
Stable Car Line company is to be sum-
moned before the interstate commerce
commission. when it convenes in Chi
cage September II, and ordered to an
swer certain questions which he refused
to answer almost two years. ago. The
order to answer the question comes
from Judge Lands and if he still re-
fuses contempt of court proceedings
will result.
Special Counsel Marchand for the
commission arrived in Chicago today
and held conference with District At
torney Sims regarding the matter. The
Reichman case has been referred to As
sistant District Attorney A. W. Mar
ston. He will arrange for summoning
Mr. Reichman into court before the
commission.
The question which Reichman refus-
ed to answer on advice of his counsel,
Levy Mayer is as follows:
What part of the mileage you have
received from shippers during the last
six months have you given back in re-
bates and to wbou2"
Reichman's contention was that the
interstate commerce commission has no
interest in the matters at issue, and
that it has no right. power or authority
to file the petition or to inquire into the
matters referred to or to any relief in
the courts.

A RUN ON A BANK
About $4,000 Drawn From the

Deposits We're Made by Many
During the Day.
INSTITUTION is SOUND.

Atchison. kan. Sept. 1s.-The Globe
says:
A small run on the Exchange Ma
tionsl bank was in effect at closing
time Wednesday afternoon. Somehow
rumor started that there was bank
failure. The story came from the Cen
tfal Branch shops. originally, and was
telephoned over town. Theo. Intfen
says the story was started by a drunk
en- man. In attempting to say some
thing smart, the drunken man SAID
The bank has failed. One woman
who telephoned this Office said she
heard it was the First National. The
last statement of the Exchange Nation
al was the best it ever made, showing
a reserve of IS per cent, although the
law requires only Is per cent. The
bank has been in the same family Tor
two generations and is as sound an in
stitution as there is in the country
'isounder now than it ever was before.
AS an evidence of good faith, the bank
did not close at p. na.,' as usual. The
business men made their deposits as
usual and many of them offered the
bank assistance which it did not need.
Those Withdrawing deposits are mainly
women.
The capital of the bank is 100000,
surplus and undivided profits, S9h5S5;
deposits. si,25o,0o0; total resources, 81
478, 000 One man withdrew so much
money that he admitted it would cost
him 800 in interest, which he sacrificed.
While people were Withdrawing at one
window many large deposits were be
ing made at the other. Some women
were considerably excited, but others
quietly withdrew their money and went
home. The men looked upon the run as
a joke, which it undoubtedly was. It is
stated in the afternoon that the bank
would be open until midnight. if neces-
sary, to pay of all the depOsitors. Al
$50 o'clock, however, there were fewer
persons in the bank, and the end Of the
run seemed to be in sight.
