Captain Oyster called upon me Oc-

Emery building, which he now says is
III an unsanitary condition. was not IN
need OF repairs, and requested that moth

this was the opinion Of Mr.. Eli, the
principal Of the Emery. In reply J told
Captain Oyster that, Notwithstanding
the sentiments OF Mr.. Eli, 1 thought the
building was in need Of repairs, and
that they would be ordered. Immedl-

Health Department calling attention to

Oyster.
He is mistaken, also, In regard "a

neither are there piles OF dirt on the

Notwithstanding Mr.. CaTnegie's hope

Many Send in Written
Desires to Withdraw
Deposits.
COrtelyOu Given Credit
for Terminating the
Money Furry.

NEW YORK, Oct. 26.-AIl Of the
savings banks in New York today
refused to pay depOsitOrs on de-
mand. Under an agreement reached
at a meeting Of their presidents
yesterday, the banks took advantage
of the clause IN their bylaws which
permits them 20 demand from
thirty to ninety days notice from
depositors who wish to draw on
their accounts.
Notices were posted on all savings
banks to this effect today, from
the biggest, with deposits of almost
S100,0O0,00G, to the smallest, with
deposits of only $4,000. The result
was felt Immediately. At those
banks which had experienced runs
the lines disappeared, although
many filed written notices Of their
intention to withdraw their de-
posits at the expiration of the
thirty, sixty, or ninety days, accord
ing to whichever period the bank
adopted.

Wan Street Convinced.

Wall Street and even the general pub
&c were today apparently convinced
that the financial scare is over, or az
least firmly under control. The pouring
OF millions into the banks and into the
market by the big hnanciers and by the
Government hls met with success.
Such conhde' .ce was felt among the
men who really understand the situation
that confidence of big bankers who have
been coping with the situation was
deemed unnecessary.
