HEAVY RUN ON NEW YORK BANK;
 KMCKERBOCKER COMPANY CLOSES

Washingt on at 9.30 o'clock tonight. He was met at Jersey City by Hamilton Fish, Assistant United States Treas urer. and the two were in earnest con- yersation during the ferry trip to New York. Upon reaching this city they went at once to the Hotel Manhattan, where several bankers later presented to the Secretary various phass of local financial conditions.
 To Review situatlon.
 Secretary Cortelyou is here to thor ouRhiy look into the financial situa- tion which he has had under observa- ton for several weeks. He has come with no preconceived ideas of how much money will be required to re- lieve the situation and the matter of treasury relief measures wAil De de- termined by what he learns tonight He will do all he can to relieve the nresent stress It is expected that a statement will be given out by the Secretary about midnight. Before leaving Washington late today. Mir. Cortely ou decided that x6,0OO,OO0 De eieuosited with New York banks as soon as the necessary collateral had been furnished, and at the same time he issued this statement;
 "The Secretary of the Treasury is keeping in close touch with the busi- ness conditions throughout the coun- try. Tn the matter of public deposits, he will at all times consult the needs of legitimate business interests and will not hesitate to deal promptly and adequately with any situation that may arise |"
 Mr CorteIyou's statement when re- ceiyed here, did much to put a better face on things, and it was predicted that the Secretary's visit would re- suit in further deposits here or $lS S'oOo'- 900.
 The Knickerbocker Trust Company, the storm center today. paid out cash to dep ositors at the rate of $44.444 minute for three hours today and then closed it's doors. The directors had, as they thought. fully prepared for a run and caused to be announced in today's papers that $s'ooO,o0o in cash was on hand to meet ali eventualities.
 Payments Suspended.
 At S:so o'clock a few depositors with drew their accounts and an hour later

New York, oct. 23 .---Secretary of the Treasury George B. Cortelyou made the following statement shortly De- fore i o'clock this morning.:
 "I repeat what stated before leav- ing Washington this afternoon. if for no other reason than to emphasize 1t. The Treasury Department will use It's facilities to assist in every proper way legitimate business interests and its action will be prompt and thorough.
 'The national banks of New York city are in an exceptionally strong condition. The general situation here seems to be we'll in hand and is being looked after by many strong and in fluentlai men. such as those whose re- cent action in the clearing house re- ceived emphatic public approval. The movement for similar concert of action among the trust companies should have a helpful and far-reaching effect. shall spend the day tomorrow at the sub-treasury."
 New York, Oct. 22,-credit, the un- der the surface foundation of all busl- ness, trembled for a time today and before confidence could be restored, the Knickerb ocker Trust Company, New York's second largest financial in stftution, had emptied its cash vaults under pressure of the biggest run ex- perienced here in generation; a stock exchange firm had failed to SC, coo .O0O: Wall Streets principal se- curities had settled from S5 to $s a share; call money had risen to 70 per cent, and local bankers. unable to stem the tide of distrust, had been forced to apneaI for relief to the Secretary of the Treasurer at Washington.
 All this was in the face of reassur- ing statements by the acting State superintendent of Banks, that the sus- ,pected bank was solvent; declarations by prominent bankers that there was no true basis for alarm, and assur- ances from Washington that Secretary Cortely ou would not hesitate to act pronnptly in any situation where legiti mate business was threatened Now that the first scare Is over. and the worst of the future discounted, 1t is believed that local banking affairs will soon readiust themselves.

hundreds were in line to take out their deposits at the main oflce at Thirty fourth Street and Fifth Avenue and at the Harlem. the Bronx and the down town branches. The $3,0O0.O00 lasted until 12;S0 when Vice-President Joseph T. Brown announced that the bank had no more cash available and pay ments were suspended. MT. Brown said that the bank would open tomor- row and payments be resumed at 10:S0 o'clock. The Knickerbocker. It. was announced. has ample securities to meet all demands, was perfectly sol- vent. and it was only a question of raising the cash when all depositors who wished to withdraw could do so. Tonight desperate efforts were being made by the officers of the Knicker- booker to get in their loans and other wise replenish their cash vaults
 Acting State Superintendent of Banks, George l.. Skinner, who throughout the day had expressed com that the bank would meet all obligations, qualified his position to- night when he issued the following statement
 "Thls afternoon about o'clock, hav- ing received no positive assurance of help for the Knickerbocker Trust Com pany, conferred with the Attorney General. telling him that, while its af- fairs were not hopeless. they were in so critical c condition that thought he should be prepared to act at any time. At about half past o'clock I again communicated with him. giving him as complete statement of affairs as was possible over the telephone. I have also had written statement made to him from the main office of the State Banking Department in AL bany The Kniekerb0cker Trust Com pany Is not without nope that 1t may stili receive adequate aid from hnan- cial institutions. If 1t does, 1t will open it's doors az usual. If 1t does not, it will not open it's doors In the morn ing, and I of course. shall act under the advice of the Attorney General, who is made by law the legal adviser of the State Banking Department"
 Later Mir. Skinner received word that Attorney General Jackson had left Albany for New York and would
