Italians Start a Run.
New York, Oct. S.-Hundreds of
Italians, hearing that The Bank of
l4Sth street" had suspended payment
started a run on the branch Dollar
Savings bank which is located next
door to the branch institution of the
Knickerbocker Trust in the
Bronx.
The Dollar Savings concerns difficult
ties lasted only until an interpreter
could explain to the alarmed deposit
tors that 1t was the knickerbocker and
not the Dollar Savings bank thai was
in trouble.
When the K~nickerbocker branch sus-
pended payment the news flashed
through the Italian section like prairie
fire. The message was vague-only
that the bank in 14Sth street could
not pay depositors. hundreds of Ital-
ians went to the bank but the quick
Wltted secretary of the institution, see
ing that a mistake had been made, or

run on the bank ended and most of
those who had withdrawn their saw

to free the side Of the boat from the
octopus which stuck to 1t.
