He then discussed the Panama rail-

"That railroad needs a thorough re-
equipment. We shall have to build

pie is that they want everything to be
done the next morning. The danger is

that we begin too early"

HUNGARIAN DEPUTIES
CHANGE THEIR MINDS

BUILDINGS TOMORROW
Decision Reached That Violence viii
Not PurposeIy Be Invited, but viii
Proceed With Individual Political
Activities

Il By Associated Press
BUDAPEST Hungary, Feb. 20.-Af-
ter further and calmer consideration
the members of the coalition decided
this evening not TO proceed to the
parliament buildings tomorrow.
While not necessarily admitting the
legality and constitutionality of yes
terdays dissolution of the parliament,
the fact that the houses We're dissolved
yesterday must be recognized, other
wise the members of the lower house
could not take part in any manner in
the next elections or in the holding of
meetings throughout the country, be-
ginning at the end of this week.
The members of the coalition will not
purposely invite violence from the gov
ernment, but will proceed with their
individual political activities as cir
cumstances permit, quite undeterred
by knowledge of what the government
purposes to do.
Rumors are current tonight to the
effect that Hungary may start a boy
colt movement against Austrian pro-
ducts, relying on the possibility that
the country can obtain such articles
as cheap elsewhere, while Austria will
have to pay much higher prices for
agricultural products obtained else
where than from Hungary.

Second Chicago Financial Institution
Pays Depositors Rapidly and
Bankers Are Not Alarmed

By Associated Press.
CHICAGO, Feb 20-A run was
started on the Jackson Trust and Saw
ings bank, it being thought by many
of the depositors that the institution is
involved by the failure of the Bank of
America three days ago. Bankers
say the run will be withstood.
At the hour set for the opening 300
depositors commenced to withdraw
their funds. 1t is known that the in
stitution is a loser through loans to
F. c. Creelman, whose loans from the
Bank of America were the immediate
cause of the closing of that concern.
The amount loaned to Creelman by the
jackson Trust and Savings bank is
said by officers to be $4,000, but stories
on the streets by which the depositors
were alarmed put the amount at sew
eral times $25,0O0.
The savings bank department re-
NAMED open until o'clock in order to
