Savings bank depositors are apt to
be blind to the fact that their money
cannot be kept on hand ready to be
paid out at any moment, except
enough of it to meet current demands,
which will ordinarily be provided for
from current receipts. 1t must be in
vested in interest bearing securities or
in real estate loans so as to bring in
the revenue from which interest is paid
to depositors. If they make sudden
dash in great numbers for their money
their bank will not have enough on
hand, and the balance it keeps on de-
post in other banks for emergencies
will not be sufficient to meet a pro-
longed "run." It must have time to
realize upon loans by their maturity,
and in this there may be needless loss
for the depo sitors as whole. If the
bank has to suspend or require it's
depositors to give it time by giving
notice of Withdrawals, it is not sign
of weakness but is due to the blind
selfishness and ignorance of those
who are clamoring for their deposits
without reason. An understanding of
how the bank works would prevent a
run in most cases. 1t is much the same
with the ordinary depositors in COM
mercial banks, many Of whom nowadays
are small traders and women; house,
holders. They do not realize that their
money is not always in the bank wait
ing for them whenever they are pleased
to call for it. Most of it must be
out working for the bank, invested in
commercial paper or loans or securit-
les which it takes some time to
mature. 1t is going out or coming in,
with a greater or less increment all
the time, and only portion is kept
on hand in cash, rarely more than
quarter of the amount on deposit at any
ore time. Allthe deposits are subject
to demand, but it is ordinarily expect
ed that the demand actually made for
paying out from day to day will not
exceed the amount that is coming in
in payments to the bank. The reserve
is lying idle to meet exceptional de-
mands, but the law requires it to be
kept up even when such demands are
made. If these suddenly come in with
rush and persist day after day the
money of the most furnishing bank
will not be at immediate command to
meet them. 1t may have plenty of re-
sources but not be able to turn them
into cash and pay them over to de-
positors at once. By an overwhelming
and persistent demand it might be
forced to suspend with millions of
surplus not instantly available. This
is quite elementary, but it is often
not understood or not considered by
those who thoughtlessly withdraw
their deposits whenever there is
furry of distrust in the air, though it
does not in any way affect their bank.
They also fail to consider that by
making unnecessary Withdrawals they
are doing what they can to produce
embarrassment and make trouble for
their bank. An elementary knowledge
of what banks do and how they do
it ought to be more widely diffused
by our schools. J

A remarkable feature Of the case is
that he boy never mentioned his plight

PLOT TO KILL W|TTE,
MATCHED AMONG "PATRIoTS,"
DivULGED.
BLACK HUNDRED DREW LEADER ON
Enticed Him To a Wood and Cut His
Throat--Dark Intrigue In Rus
sia Comes To Light.

st. Petersburg, July 3.-From revolu-
tionary sources thee has oeen obtain
ed and published idll details of SEN
sational plot to compass the murder
of Count Wit;e, tie former Russian
premier who rep. esented mis- country
at the peace he citations at Ports
mouth in 1905. This assassination was
planned by the Moscow branch of the
Union OF True Russian People, the or
ganization to which the emperor sent
communication on June IL conveying
his blessing TO the ultra reactionary
yarty and his hopes for the success OF
its purposes. The execution Of the plot
was intrusted to the leader OF the Mos
COW branch, man named Kazantseff,
who came from st. Petersburg the lat
ter part of May and secured employ
ment In factory as common laborer.
He befriended several of his fellow
workers, and after announcing himself
as an anarchist, he enlisted four men
to assist him In carrying out his COM
mission. It was planned to throw a
bomb at Count Witte's carriage from
the window Of cheap boarding house
on Kamenny Island while the count
was on his way to attend meeting OF
the council of the empire.
The plot, however. was betrayed by
the revolutionist bureau, which gave
Count Witte warning. The four work.
ingmen continued to pretend loyalty to
Kazantseff In order not to arouse his
suspicion. The day for the assassina-
tion was fixed. and that morning
Kazantseff led his assistants to the
woods in the vicinity Of st. Petersburg
in order to get the bombs from a
secret hiding place.
At this point the four men turned
on Kazantseff and killed him, carrying
out the sentence Of death passed
on him.
The revolutionists kept the facts in
their possession secret in order to aid
the police In identifying the murderers
Of the young man who was found In a
wood In suburbs of this city June IL
with his throat cut and who Is sup
posed to have been executed by fellow
terrorists.
Through the aid of certain telephone
numbers this crime has been traced to
some well-known leaders of the Black
Hundreds organization in Moscow.
The procurator of Moscow searched
the lodgings of Kazantseff and found
considerable compromising material.
The widow OF Zazantseff up TO the
present time had been ignorant Of the
fate Of her husband. 4, II is hoped that
the information obtained will give
clew to the murder of DR.. Jollos, editor
Of a newspaper of Moscow, who was
shot and killed last March by an un-
known man, and throw light on other
murderous plots.
Count Witte Is the most hated mem
ber of the ultra-reactionary party,

mated at 1921 1,ooo-Deafenlng Ex-
plosion Before the Crash.

indianapolis, Ind, July S.-The
South Meridian wholesale district sui.
fered another costly disaster, when the
building occupied by the Brunswick.
Balke-C -Collender Co., collapsed, carry.
ing with 1t a part of the adjoining
structure occupied by the Daniel Stew.
art Drug Co. Fire followed and ragged
for several hours before the depart.
ment could gain control.
The loss to the Stewart Co. was es-
timated by John N. Carey, its presi-
dent, at 100000. Albert F. RIGHT, as
sistant manager of the Brunswick
Balke-Collender Co, estimated Its loss
at s50,O00. Martha A. Stewart, owner
of the building coupled by the Stewart
Co., will lose $4,000. The Henry G..
Mails estate. owning the other building,
will lose $4,000. The William B. Bur.
ford Printing Co., estimates its loss at
$1,000.
The disaster occurred when there
were few people down town. Its origin
is mysterious and no one seems to be
able to give connected story Of what
took place. Police Chief Metzgar hap
pened to be in the neighborhood. He
says he heard tremendous explosion
that seemed to shake the whole dis
trict. He rushed to the scene to find
mass Of ruins, from which dense
cloud Of dust was arising.
A part of the Stewart building COL
lapsed soon afterward A fire alarm
was turned In, but when the depart
ment arrived there was no sign of a
blaze. Within five minutes, however.
flames seemed to shoot up from many
parts Of the ruins. II was not long be-
fore they had become a raging furnace
that threatened many buildings In the
wholsesale district for three or more
hours. The department worked on the
ruins until after dark before the fire
was entirely extinguished.
The Balls building occupied by the
Brunswick-B -Balke-C Co. was
three stories high and located near
Meridian and Maryland streets. II was
nearly so years old. One theory as to
the cause Of the disaster was that the
building was overloaded and that 1t
gave away under the long strain. AS.
sistant Manager RIGHT said that his
company carried over $4,000 worth of
stock and that 1t was practically de-
stroyed. The Stewart building was
built quarter Of a century ago and
was one Of the landmarks of the whole
sole district. 1t is probable that the
remainder of the Stewart building will
have TO be destroyed, as Building In
spector Winterroad is not sure that II
can be used again. II was not until
later in the day that the department
was sure that 1t could save any por-
tion of the Stewart or other adjoin-
ing buildings.

RUNYAN BETRAYED
BY THE WOMAN WHO FOUND HIM
A HIDING PLACE.
$54,4IO OF $4,000 STOLEN
Recovered BY the Police, the Balance
Having Been Lost In
Speculation.

New York, July 6.-Betrayed to the
police by the woman who fitted up his
luxurious hiding place in Harlem fiat,
Chester b. Runyan, the consumptive
paying teller who stole $4,000 from
the Windsor Trust Co., walking out of
its Cedar street banking house last
Saturday with his suit case stuffed
with money, was arrested without a
struggle in No 619 West One Hundred
and Fortieth street.
The police recovered $54,410 Of the
stolen funds and accept Runyans con-
fession that he lost $4,000 in specula-
ton before he made his big haul.
Because she could not account for
$4,000 which Runyan declares he gave
her, the police arrested Mrs. Laura M.
Cart also known as Laura Isson,
their informant, and hold her on charge
Of grand larceny. She declares that
she received but $1,000 from him.
which amount she returned.
A third prisoner is Mary Duncan, a
negro maid, who looked after the Car
ter fiat from the time It was rented
by Runyan to AFFORD hiding place.
So far the police have no proof that
she has any Of the stolen money. and
she is held as a suspect.
Not until he began to break down
under the strain Of a continuous third
degree" first administered by the po-
lice, and then by the officials Of the
trust company, did Runyan mention
the invalid wife whom he deserted
without a word OF warning, and with
but $40 to her name With the first
show of anything like finer feeling,
he broke down when her name came
up, and asked Jordan ]. Rollins, the
attorney for the bank, to carry to her
the news OF his arrest and beg her to
forgive him.
The story of Runyan's downfall and
his cunningly planned disappearance,
which the police have been able to put
together from his several confessions
made after his arrest and from the
statements of his companion, Is pro-
nounced the most remarkable in the
history Of New York embezzlements.
Here Is the summary:
June 9-Received tip on the market.
June 10-Took his first dishonest
dollar that he might invest In accord
ance with the tip and lost.
June 11-Stole again, In the hope Of
regaining the losses of the day before.
June l2-Changed his account to
consolidated exchange house, in the
hope of quicker action.
June 13-Took still more bank funds.
June IA to 17-Ditto.
June 1S-ToOk to dissipation to for
get his losses. Met Mrs Carter on the
street and offered to fit up place for
her.
June 25-Received a key to the nat
which was to be his hiding place.
June 29-Took every cent that was
in his charge, the $4,000 remaining
Of the per cent reserve of the trust
company.
June 90-Quarreled with the woman
who was hiding him.
July 5-Betrayed to the police and
placed under Arrest.
II was desire to win fortune only
that he might go away and nurse the
disease that is said to be undermining
his health that led into speculation.
Not for one minute did he get ahead
OF the Wall street game.
