PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT WROTE:

.
The White House, Washington.
NY Dear Mr.. corteIyou: con.
eratuiate you upon the admirable
way In which you have handled
the present crisis.
congratulate also those con.
servative and substantial business
men who In this crisis have acted
with such wisdom and public
spirit.
BY their action they did inval-
liable service in checking the
panic which. beginning as a mat.
ter Of speculation. was threaten
ing to destroy the confidence and
credit necessary to the conduct
Of legitimate business.
No one who considers calmly
can question that the underlying
conditions which make up our
financial and industrial weii-be-
ing are essentially sound and
honest. Dishonest dealing and
speculative enterprise are mere
iy the occasional incidents OF our
real prosperity.
The action taken by you and by
the business men in question has
been Of the utmost consequence
and has secured opportunity for
the calm consideration which
must inevitably produce entire
confidence in our business eondi-
tions. Faithfully yours,
THEODORE ROOSEVELT,

WAY IT'S NECESSARY.
All Banks Prefer TO Be on Safe eide

81. Louis. Mo.--The banks of st.
Louis are not different from the banks
all over the country. beginning Mon.
day morning. they refused to pay out
large amounts of currency. and will
not return TO paying in cash until the
financial condition in tho east i'm.
proves. Depositors seeking to with
draw money were given checks of the
bank instead of cash. Commercial de.
positors are allowed to draw the full
amount of their balances. but must ac-
cept the banks checks instead OF cur
roncy.
The rule requiring savings banks de-
positors To give 30 days notice before
drawing out less than sl00. and 60
days notice before drawing out more
than 500. was also put In force.
The local banks declare that they
were compelled TO adopt these rules
because OF the action taken by the
banks in the east. which would soon
have drained this city Of its cash re-
sources.
