Of Ottawa of this city is $40 richer as
a result of an attempted bank robbery
by two armed bandits today.

ports, rushed in and frightened the
would-be robbers away. They had
failed to reach the bills on the counter
and in their hasty departure they left
their working capital behind. a heavy

OFF THE LIMIT
ON POSTAL DEPOSITS

Washington, Dec. 22-The bill to re-
the limitation on the amount of
money that ma be accepted from de-
positors in the postal savings bank has
passed the House. The bill allows un-
limited deposits, but mentions $1,000 as
the gross amount on which interest
may be paid. The present law fixes
500 as the limit TO be deposited in
any calendar month, and no account
may exceed $500.
In discussing the bill Representative
Madden Of Chicago, a republican, con-
graduated the postmaster general and
the postoffice committee on the bill,
saying tina" it is an insurance against
financial disturbance.
For example" he said, sin the case
of the United States Trust company,
a few days ago, when we had a run, a
great many of the people who drew
their money from the United States
Trust company offered to deposit it
with the postoffice authorities right
here in Washington. What would have
become of that if it la been deposited
with the postoffice authorities? II
would have gone back into the COM
mercial life of the nation by being re-
deposited in the banks. So as a mat
ter of fact, If people withdraw thelr
money from the banks n place II
with the government the government
can again redeposit that money with
the banks and thus establish h con-
dition that ought to have prevailed be-
fore the want Of confidence arose that
induced the people to draw their money
from the banks. This bill will, without
doubt, not only make for the certainty
of the operation of this postal savings
bank institution along lines that Will
not only prevent loss, but will just al
certainly show in the mex report Of th'
postmaster general a profit to TIL
credit of the account of the postal saw
ings bank under h direction Of tn
