With every bank in the East ,declin- ing to pay large sums of money. a1- though holding large amounts In their vaults. the banks in the smaller towns could do nothing else than limit the amount they would pay out on individ- nai cheeks. It is believed that every 'banking institution in New York which was recently pressed will be able to pay dollar for dollar of liability. In spite of the fright which possessed depositors and the bad. not to say crin- inal action of the officers of some of them confidence in their entire solve : cy is well nigh universal. The up- heaval in New York was precipitated by a number of causes, but prudent men took charge Of affairs ana adopted a policy which saved the country from widespread panic and ruin. Our Doth an friend whose letter is published on this page need feel no alarm about ..le money in the banks here and elsewhere. The temporary expedient resorted to was wise under ali the circumstances and is working we'll It will be only . short time when everything will be running in the usual channels and that desirable end could only be reached by the banks generally limiting the amounts paid out.

 certificates of the banks of Montgom- cry are backed by ample security and are as safe and sound as the most timid could demand We feel safe in saying the same for the banks in Mo- bile and Birmingham. The certificates are meeting the demands of the public and are freely circulated in all branches of business. There is no need for any one to hesitate about taking and refusing to part with them except upon the basis of 100 cents on the dollar.

We publish letter from MT. Brooks Lawrence. Superintendent Of the Anti Saloon League, in today's Issue. He
 fails to even attempt to deny a single material fact mentioned in the article in question, headed "Wiu Not Aid Pro- hibition." As matter of fact, The Ad- .vertiser, has never attempted nor pre- sumed to speak as the mouthpiece of Governor Conner, nor did it. as insin- uateds though not stated. by Mir. Law renee. do so on this occasion. That does not, however. prevent a report on the prohibition or any other question from being published, with or without the consent of Mir. Lawrence. The story in question was written by a member of the stan in whom we have the utmost confidence. after he had investigated the matter thoroughly Some developments since have tended to confirm the correctness of the state ment that Governor Conner. while not opposing prohibition, will refuse abso-, lutely to aid in the enactment of such law.
 MT. Lawrence says in his letter that the Anti-saioon League officials did not ask Governor Conner to include State prohibition bill in his call for an extra session. We do not know what action MT. Lawrence may have taken. but it is matter of general knowledge that many members of the Anti-SaIoon League, as we'll as other citizens, pe- titioned the Governor to do so, and that he declined. The Governor. in fact, has so stated in public manner. Mir. Law. renee is begging the squestion in his apparent. but not real. denial of a well known fact.
 As to Governor Corners position on the temperance question. it is as well known, through a much longer period of intimacy with Alabama people, as that of Mir. Lawrence. He ran for of- flee on local option platform. and has always favored local option. We would point out, that despite the fact that we do not speak for Governor comer," as Mir. Lawrence points out. it is Mr. Lawrence. and not the Governor. who has objected with so many insinuatIons that we were misquoting Mr. Conner.

PET MONKEY
CHEWED MASTERS ARM.
Resented Caressing Of a Parrot, Al
though "Chatter" Was Philadel-
phian's Favorite.

TRENTON, Aug. 16.-Inflamed with
jealousy because his master caressed a
parrot and ignored him., Chatter, a pet
monkey owned by John Warner. a
well-known steeple jack, attacked the
man yesterday at his home, 266 North
Twenty-second street, and inflicted such
severe bites on his left arm and
shoulder that Warner had to be treated
at the Medico-Chirurgical Hospital.
The monkey was locked up in a room.
but, in spite of his actions, Warner de-
clared last night that he would keep
the animal.
Besides his business of daily risking
his life far UP In the air, Warner is q
great lover of pets, and keeps all kinds
of them in his house. The monkey is
his particular favorite, and he has al
way given first attention to Chatter.
Yesterday, however. he unthinkingly
fed the parrot first and stroked the
birds head several times. For a while
Chatter watched him sulkily, hen sud
denly he rushed from his corner of the
room, sprang upon his master and be-
gan to chew viciously at his arm. The
arm was pretty badly lacerated before
the animal could be a k Off.
