OWES SIXTY MILLIONS
knickerbocker Trust Company
of New York Suspends.

New York, Oct. 22.-The Knicker-
booker Trust company, the second
largest trust company in New York
city, with deposits amounting to about
$60,000,000, closed its doors at 1890
p. m. following a steady run Of per-
sons who called to withdraw their
deposits. The company officials de-
clared that the suspension of payment
was only temporary.
The closing of the doors of the in
stitution was attended with sensa-
tional scenes at its main banking room
and the Harlem branch. Depositors
who crowded the rooms clamoring for
their money were insistent that they
be permitted to withdraw even a few
dollars and when this request was re-
fused many refused to leave the build
ing. Police assistance was necessary
to preserve order At the main Office,
Fifth avenue and Thirty fourth street,
after the doors were closed the crowd
surged its way inward. The police
forced them back to the street again
and from that time guard was kept
In front of the entrance.
The stock market was very weak
and declined sharply in spite of early
efforts made to support prices.
