PRECAUTIONS BY BANKS.
Slight Ran on Chicago Hibernian-
City Payroll Held Up.

Chicago Oct 2S-Little trouble was caused
here to-day by the action of the Clearing House
Association in limiting the amounts of money to
be paid out by the banks. Business al
most entirely a checking basis and was ap-
parently normal in all directions.
The banks adopted rule of not paying out
currency in amounts greater than 800 unless
the funds were required for payrolls. If de-
positors desired money in excess of 800 they
were asked to take a cashiers check for the
amount.
In all savings banks the rule requiring legal
notice was enforced If the depositor wished to
withdraw more than S1OO. The rule was elastic
however, and the banks imposed hardship upon
no one Money desired for the payment of rent
insurance policies or for necessary travelling
was paid out promptly. In cases where notes
were TO be paid the banks usually asked that
the notes be presented to them for payment.
The only sembance of run during the day
was at the Hibernian Savings Bank. where
many depostOrs gave notice during the day of
their intention to withdraw. These notices in
the aggregate, however, were not of sufficient
amount to constitute a run At one time the
bank became so crowded that It was found nee
essary to call upon Police Headquarters for ad-
ditonal aid In controlling the lines OF deposi-
tors who were intent upon giving notice to the
bank
AT the close OF business all the bank officers
expressed satisfaction with the manner in
which the business men of the city had met
the changed conditions. The belief is
pressed that the methods used in handling the
business Of to-day will continue only a short
time.
The city employees the first to feel the
effect of the change in banking methods. It was
decided that the city payroll should be held up
for time. Controller Wilson believes. though,
that arrangements be made with the banks
tomorrow looking to the payment of the en-
ployes

There has been uneasiness in this city. and

The motive in closing is protection in case of a

II have been away from Oklahoma for sew
eral days" said the Governor. "and therefore
there otherwise would be, but 1 am salts
fed that the Acting Governor took the step on
the advice OF the bankers OF the territory. The
small country banks have large deposits in ST
Louis and Kansas City. and the action of these
banks in refusing TO ship any currency to the
country banks of Oklahoma makes II almost I'M
possible for the latter to handle their business
I do not how II injuriously affect the
railroad or cotton business as seems TO be
feared on the New York exchanges. There is
reason why II should. The closing OF the
banks simply protects them against any run
that might be made against them. However
If it is found that the holiday order results in
stagnation Of business II can be revoked at any
time"
Governor Frantz called at the Treasury De-
