Mrs. Amanda schenck. the slxty-nine-
yesr-old proprietress o, the Arctic
Hotei. at Ocean J-cvt was one OF the
many thousands OF victims IL the panic
of 1897. At that time me little nest egg
she had accumulated during years o,
bitter struggle was wiped out.
After the financial situation had
rightcd itself she began TO deposit, her
savings again, but size lived IN ear OF
a recurrence OF the panic that had
proved 10 disastrous to her. When the
story OF Robins financial slelght-o.-
hand and the closing OF the Northern
Bank and its branches appeared in the
newspapers Mrs. Scnenck's heart was
filled with pi &c. She told her neigh
bors OF her fear that the closing of the
Northern Bank was the prelude OF
another panic even more disastrous than
that of 1907.

walled.
Her neighbors tried to reassure her,
but yesterday afternoon, when the news

was out OF breath when she arrived and

While Mr.. Dix's request has not been

for 1t is backed up by a holdup OF pat
ronage. The Oovernor-elect has re.
Trained from announcing the appoint
ments OF any Tammany men, waiting
for TIE announcement which Murphy
made last night.
Murphy's Explanation.
The following formal statement from
Boss Murphy gives his version of the
rundown of Grady:
Two years ago when the term o:
Senator Grady was about to expire,
lie made a statement to the Senate
that under no circumstance would he
consent to return to tina body, as
he was anxious to retire to private
life. After much persuasion by
party leaders and much against his
will he accepted a renomination and
was elected for another term. When
that term was about 10 expire he re-
pea:ed the declaration of his inten-
ton to leave public life, AZ he had
In the mean time accepted the posi-
ton of National President of the
Oruer OF Edgies' one OF tne largest
fraternal organizations In the
try, the duties OF which would take
up a great deal OF his time.
without his consent n against
his will BECAUSE of his pledge to the
Eagles ne was again nominated at a
convention which he did not attend
and was elected in a campaign in
which he ooh no part.
Only yesterday he called upon me
and said that he would not consent
TO accept any position In the Senat
which would take up all OF his time
or make N serious inroads on his
health. The Senator stated that the
obligations which he had assumed
would not, in honor. permit any such
action on his part.
