New Haven Savings Bank
Loses Thousands.
All Oeposllors Paid Promptly
Local Lawyer 10 Rescue.
Voluntarily Declares Bank Is Sound
And Most Of Crowd Dlspsrss.

New Haven, Conn.,. July 1S.-Thou-
sands of dollars were today, with
drawn from the New Haven Savings
Bank-regarded as one of the strong
est banks in the state-in an all-day
run on the institution. The bank paid
all depositors promptly. and during
the day issued several statements, de-
claring that the bank was sound and
that there was no cause for alarm.
Just before the usual closing hour
the streets in front of the bank were
damned with people. Benjamin Slade.
a local lawyer, made what he said ga5
a voluntary statement to the crowd to-
the effect that he was convinced that
the bank was sound. He said he was
one of the largest depositors and that
during the day. he had offered to make
a deposit of $4,000, but the offer was
refused by the bank officials. saying
they had ample funds on hand. Mr..
Slade said further:
THE rumor affecting the bank start
ed in an unfortunate manner as the.
result of over-zealousness on the part
of solicitors seeking deposits for a
bank that has started a savings de-
partment. It's solicitors stated that
National banks are more sold than
New Haven savings banks and the
public cut off the final letter IS and
construed the statement to mean the
New Haven Savings Bank was not
solid"
His remarks apparently had consid-
cradle effect, for the crowd. most of
whom were foreigners. soon dispersed.

SENATORS SoUABBLE.

Washington, July 1S-Secretary
Bryans policy of lecturing in his va
cation time involved the Senate III a
bitter controversy, today. L began
when Senator Bristow, ignoring the
defeat of his resolution directed at Mr.
Rryan's action, insisted upon being
heard in severe criticism of the cab
met ellcer.
Before the debate ended, charges
and counter charges between senators
en- the two sides of the chamber had
brought the Senate To a high pitch of
excitement. Senator Ashurst produced
an old letter of Senator Bfistow. which
he declared indicated that Mr.. l;ristow,
ii 1896, had been Wiling to take fed
oral position and devote only part Of
his time to it.
Senator Rristow retortcd with the
charge that Senator Ashurst had
spent over Sio0 of public funds sending
private kilograms that should have
been paid for from bis own pocket a
charge denied by Senator Ashurst, but
which senator Bristow agreed to prove
ny producing original kilograms that
had been paid for out of Senate funds.
From these personal accuse tons the
debate went into the general field OF
public occurring and writing and Dem
ocratic senators called attention to the
Chautauqua platform work of Sena-
Tor Bflstow and many others, and to
the newspaper writing that Senator
Bristow had done during the last Bal
timore convention.
