SCARE is SPREADING.
Several Runs on Chicago Banks But
Situation is Well in Hand.

Several Runs on Chicago Banks But
Situation is Well in Hand.
Chicago, Oct. 2S.-The banks OF TINS
city are today largely upon checking
basis. They have taken steps refus-
ing to pay out large amounts OF cur
rency, and will not return to the Tor
mer manner of doing business until
financial conditions in the east improve.
In all the banks belonging to the clear
ing house association or affiliated with
it. depositors seeking today to with
draw their money were given checks
of the bank itself instead Of actual
cash Depositors are allowed to draw
the full amount Of their balances, but
they are compelled to accept bank
checks instead of currency.
The rule requiring savings banks
deposttors to give thirty and sixty
days notice was also put in force.
The banks declare they are compelled
to adopt these rules because of the
action taken by banks in the east,
which would soon have drained this
city of its cash resources.
Within an hour after the opening of
the doors, fully 400 people were lined
up at the withdrawal windows of the
Illinois Trust Savings Bank, which has
the largest number of savings accounts
in the city. The depositors are allowed.
If they wish, to keep sums under
800, but for all amounts over that,
full legal notice is required. The ma
jority Of those in the bank during the
early part Of the day gave notice of
their intention to withdraw their
money. There is no excitement.
In the Hiberian Savings Bank, about
100 people had given notice of With
drawal by eleven o'clock, and as many
more were waiting in line. At other
savings banks, business appeared to be
on a normal basis. Depositors having
checking accounts did not appear wor-
ried in the least by the situation, and
business proceeded upon normal lines
in all the banks.

OKLAHOMA BANKS CLOSED.

ness for Six Days.
Oklahoma City, Okla, Oct. 2S.-Ev-
cry bank in Oklahoma City remained
closed today in accordance with orders
issued by Acting Territorial Governor
Furon. It is understood the order af-
fects all national banks in Oklahoma.
and Indian Territory.
This action was taken because the
banks of Kansas City and ST. Louis
refused to forward cash to the banks
of the southwest. There has been no
uneasiness in the city. Bankers say
that deposits last week were greater
than at any time the previous week, in
money The closing is for the purpose
of protection in case of run. The
banks of the city have arranged to IS
sue clearing house certificates untll
conditions improve. The banks of the
southwest are embarrassed because OF
the demand for cash to move the cot
ton crop.
The governors proclamation fol-
lows:
"Whereas, it appears to the UNDER
signed, acting governor of the terri
tory of Oklahoma, that all the leading
clearing house associations, have en-
tered into an agreement to protect
themselves against conditions which
they are apparently unable to con-
troll, and by such concerted action
are refusing to ship currency to coun-
try banks which have deposits with
them, or to honor bills of lading drawn
upon banks Of such, or to pay checks
of customers over counters. and,
Whereas, such action makes it inn
possible for the banks Of Oklahoma to
meet the immediate demands upon
them for currency to pay for cotton
and other products of the territory,
and,
Whereas, our banks appear to be in
solvent condition, therefore
BE it ordered, that legal holiday
extending from October % six days
to November be proclaimed"
