sbiect.
The report of this committee does
]. ,enresent emigration as an un-
.,.a evil. The Greek, 1t seems,

YALE ECONOMISTS
Professors Sumner, Fisher and Emery Take Hope
 full View.
NO LONG DEPRESSION
Professor Sumner Blames Pres ident Roosevelt for Present Crisis, But Others
 Do Not.

The present financial disturbance which has become so far-reaching in it's effects that the banking and com- Imercial interests of every country in the world are feeling. 10 a greater or less extent, the stringency that is cur tailing investment operations, < and contributing to a sudden and effective spirit of conservatism, presents some phases of a peculiar interest to the economist. It is not a new experience, in the history of the United States but not in half hundred years has there been a crisis of this particular stamp, and, although economists be- ! lieve the principles underlying present conditions are the same as they were half hundred years ago, the oppor- tunity to observe and study such a disturbance at first hand arouses spe- cial interest
 With a view to obtaining the expert judgment of trained economists, a representative of The Hartford Times came to New Haven and interviewed William Graham Sumner, Pelatiah Perit professor of political and social science; Irving Fisher, and Henry Crosby Emery professors of political economy, in Yale university. All three of these men, trained specialists in the study of economic problems, were asked the same questions namely:
 What are the principal causes of the present financial disturbances?
 What will be it's principal economic effect?
 What will be it's probable duration

Five Decide to Take Ad- vantage of the Ninety Day Clause in
 Charters.
OVER $1OO WILL
 REQUIRE NOTICE
Institutions Perfectly Sound, But it is Impossible to Get Money from
 New York.

Bridgeport, Oct 31.-The first ex- eitement in this city as the result of a financial unheaval in New York and other places about the country occur red to-day when runs were started on the Mechanics and Farmers Savings bank and the City Savings bank, the run starting in the morning and com tinuing all day. Probably all those who withdrew their deposits were for eigners who doubtless became fright ened as a result of the unsettled con dition of affairs in New York and whose alarm grew when it was an- nounccd to-day that the American Graphophone company would shut down two days of each week from now on, the shut down to take effect each week.
 Other large factories which employ large element of foreign help, have announced their intention of closing certain days of the week, and it is thought that these announcements were the means of stirring up fear among that class of people who are not absolutely familiar with the real situation.
 4 . t.
 It was stated at the two banks that while both institutions were heavily taxed as the result of the determine ton of their depositors to withdraw their savings. they experienced no great inconvenience. They accepted aid from outside banks. however, 9 great deal of money being paid over | to the two savings banks
 Bank officials representing the Bridgeport Savings bank, the City Savings bank, the Peoples Savings bank and the Mechanics and Farmers Savings bank, met this aft. ernoon and voted, in view of the sit uation creation by the runs on two oi the banks to-day, the City bank and the Mechanics and Farmers to take advantage of the clause In their char ters allowing them to require ninety days notice from any depositors wish. ing to draw more than $100 of his de, posit from the bank. It is stated that while the institutions are perfectly solvent 1t is impossible to get currency from New York sufficient to meet the demands.
