START RUN ON ITALIAN BANK
Excited Foreigners Try to Get Saw
ings in Their Hands.
Reserves Called Out TO Preserve
Order, While TeIIers Cash
Checks for Mob.

New York May IA thousand frantic
Italians swarmed about the Italian Saw
ings Bank, at Lafayette and Spring
streets. to-day lighting and scrambling
for a chance TO draw out their money.
A small defaication by a clerk, some
weeks ago. had grown into a prodigious
sum in the telling and extelling, and the
run which began with the days business
soon assumed serious proportions.
Long before the bank opened for the
day a great crowd gathered outside, and
when the door opened there was a rush
for the paying window and a clamor foT
money by the excited men and women.
They finally became so boisterous that
Capt Liebers was appealed 10.
He called out the reserves OF the Mul-
berry street precinct and the biuec0ats
had their hands full. All effort to keep
the mob in order was In vain, and the
police cOntented themselves with keeping
the sidewalks clear.
During the excitement President Joseph
\. Franci0lini tried to tell the depositors
that there was mors than enough money
on hand to pay all their accounts, but
they would not listen 10 him.
Much delay in satisfying the depositors
was due TO the fact that the bank is
small and the counting room lily ar
ranged. There is but one window which
can be used in paying the accounts, an1
on account OF the cramPed quarters the
president did not think more than S000
or $4,000 could be paid out during the day.

may be guilty Of the assassination con-
spiracy, however. owing TO the close

A CLEW IN TRIPLE MURDER
Check Belonging TO One of Charles
Rogers Victims Found.
Authorities Believe yfnd Establishes
Fact that Rogers Had Accom-
pIice in His Crime.

Middletown, y. Y, May f,-Startling de
velopments have occurred in the past few
hours in the famous Olney-Ingerick triple
murder case, and the belief Of the authori-
ties that Charles II. Rogers had CON
federate in the slaughter OF three human
beings is apparently confirmed.
For three days hundreds Of people have
been searching in the vicinity of the crime
for the pocketbook and checks which
Rogers said he had hidden in a stone wall.
Rogers himself pointed out the spot where
he placed the pocketbook. but it could not
be found. The search had practically been
given up when to-day George +. Richards.
Of this city. visited the scene out of curl
osity and found the pocketbook, a check
for $6507. made out TO Fred X. Oiney. and
some other papers belonging 10 the Oh
neys, lying in plain view on the ground
where the searchers had been hunting for
three days.
The papers that lay on the ground did
not show signs of having been exposed 10
the elements for nineteen months, and the
inference is that some one, probably Rog-
ers' confederates, placed them where they
were found after the searching party
had left
The authorities, in investigating Rogers
confession, have discovered that many Of
his statements are lies. and the opinion
is gaining ground that while he knows
that there is no hope for himself, he is en-
deavoring 10 shield some one else.
a number of people who have seen and
talked 10 Rogers state that they believe
he is crazy, and, under confinement
viii grow worse.
Rogers will be arraigned at a special
term of the Supreme Court at Goshen on

The aim Of the agreement was to

Trade was hindered by the fact that
the American duties averaged much
higher than those OF Germany. He
hoped that further negotiations would
lead to more satisfactory arrange

Speaking Of the significance OF their visit
20 this country, Imperial Privy Counsellor
Max Gersue lNaiseriicher Rath). one of
the most prominent members Of the Vie
ner Maennergesang NeTein. and high in
the councils OF the dual monarchy. Aus
trid-Hungary, said before leaving for New
York TO a representative of The Herald
that the appearance OF the Viennese be
fore the people of this country was in
tended 10 serve various purposes. Pri-
marily, it was TO show to the United
States that there exists in Austria a very
large pOpUlace composed exclusively of
Germans. or AustrO-Germans. who are the
real promoters of culture and the intel
lectual life of the empire.
The impression seems TO have gone
abroad, said Herr Gerstle, that Hun
gary is everything and ali in our empire;
that it dominates the intellectual life OF
the monarchy; that It is its political
factor.
We intend TO show to the world. and
particularly to the people Of the United
States, whom We hold in the highest
esteem. that 1t is the German of Austria
who is the real power and wealth OF The
land; the producer, the scholar. the manu-
facturer, the inventor. Austria is a Ger
man country, with a German language,
with German culture, ideas, and ideals.
and it is for the purpose of practically
demonstrating TO you American people
the truthfulness of our claims by person
ally coming 10 YOU, showing 10 YOU the
splendid physical manhood Of the Aus
trian German, and allowing you 10 fudge
Tor yourself the Intellectual attainments
OF our people.
An Appreciation OF Roosevelt.
President Roosevelt has as many ad-
mirers among our people in Austria; yes
indeed, many times more sincere admirers
than he has In any other country abroad.
The Germans admire his great strength
OF character, his sincerity OF purpose, and
his absolute honesty and integrity. The
characteristics OF President Roosevelt are
those of our race, OF which he is a mem
Der and descendant, being of Dutch ex-
traction, which is a branch of the great
TeutOnic race. Germany and Austria see
IN President Roosevelt a great guaranty
for the preservation Of righteous peace
In all parts Of the world. We came to
America 10 personally see him, 10 sing
before him, 10 shake his hand. to come
In human touch with him."
