PRIVATE
BANK rs CLOSED
Depositors Stand Outside In Drizz3e
and Weep and Curse at Isl
Their Losses.

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service
NEW YORK. Dec. Another pri-
vate bank closing in New York today
brought out long line OF shivering
east side depositors who gathered be-
fore the doors OF the institution and
those Of its two branches nearly all
day in the cold drizzle. Some Of the
women were crying. Most OF the
men were cursing and threatened vio-
lence. The institution is owned by
Abraham l.. Kass. There are two Of
fees In Harlem's east side and one
in Brooklyn. A run started at the
Brooklyn offices yesterday at Ave
o'clock. An hour later Kass told the
state banking superintendent his
troubles and closed all the institutions
AS early as midnight the sales girls,
errand boys and working folk began
to gather at the doors Of the three
buildings. They found notice on
each bank saying the state superinten-
dent had taken over the business.
They knew what misery was caused
to depositors when similar notices APP
peared on the doors Of private banks
owned by Jarmulowksky, Mandel and
Kobre last August.
Toward noon, the crowd at the
Brooklyn branch became so threaten
ing that police reserves had to be
called out to dispense 1t.
While Kass was explaining that his
assets are 100000 and sufficient to
paw 100 cents on the dollar, three de-
positors filed an involuntary petition
in bankruptcy against the private
banker. In the petition they placed
Kass' assets at $4,000 and his liza
bilities at exceeding S1.O00.000.

A LITTLE TALK
WITH PRESIDENT
Mr.. Wilson's Weekly Chat With News
paper Men on the Current
Topics.

! [By John Edwin Nevin, United Press
Staff Correspondent
WASHINGTON. Dec. 1.-President
Wilson let it be known today that all
of the information, reaching him from
Mexico indicates that the situation
there is slowly working itself out sat
isfactorily. The recent alarming re-
ports, he said, seem to have been in
spired from FL Paso and San An
tonic.
The president denied that he has
decided in advance to oppose the
Gardner plan to have the country's
naval and military resources investi-
gated.
The president has conferred with
Secretary Bryan and Counsellor Lans-'
ing over the suggestion made by GER
tain South American diplomats to
create neutral zone for commerce
that would extend around the United
States and the entire South Ameri-
can continent. He said today howev-
er, that no tangible progress had been
made toward reaching such an agree
ment. The chief difficulty is that the
nations now at war would have to vol
unteer their support. Under present
international law no nation has con-
troll of the seas further than three
miles from its sea coast.
Although the Colorado strike COM
mission is to meet in this city on De-
cember "a to organize, President Will
son said today that he did not be-
lieve that 1t would take up any part
in the Colorado situation at the pres
ent time. The president believes the
minors and operators have about de-
cided to settle their own troubles and
that the commission will devote it's
efforts to preventing future trouble
The president emphasized that he
intends to withdraw the troops from
Colorado the moment Governor Am
mons says the word. He believes Col
orado should preserve order within
her own borders.
The president explained he believes
that rivers and harbors appropria-
ton bill will be passed by congress
at the coming session.
1t is understood the president will
recommend to congress in his annual
message a ship purchase plan which
will be somewhat changed from that
originally suggested by him.

plant Established In 1857.

The plant was first established here
In 1857 by lir. Ponds father. 8. p.
Pond, and was known as S. P. Pond
and Company. It continued under
this name until 1905 when it was mers-
ed into the S. p. Pond Company. A
large number of branches were estah-
lished in towns In southern Iowa by
this company. In 1912 the company,
together with its branches, was TAX
en- over by Swift and Company, with
C. s. Pond as manager. In 1900 Mr..
Pond organized the Iowa Pure Butter
company which was taken over by the
8. P. Pond Company In the early
ntneties the poultry business of the o.
B. Sweet company was taken over by
Mr.. Pond and organized into the Ken-
kuk Poultry company. This company
also was incorporated into The s. p.
Pond Company. The Clarinda Poultry,
Butter and Egg company. organized
by Mr.. Pond in 1895; and under which
many branches were established. was
also taken over by Swift and Com
pany in 1912.

Products Known all over World.


Mr.. Pond, more than any other man,
has been responsible for the develop
ment Of the butter, poultry, and egg
business Of Iowa. He has been large
ly instrumental in making the pro-
ducts Of the local plant known all over
the world, and these products have
the reputation of being always of the
highest quality. Mr.. Pond was among
the first to feed poultry in the modern
way, and it is believed that he orig
mated the method, now universally
used, of shipping poultry dry packed
during the summer months.
Personality has been the largest
factor in Mr.. Ponds success. He has
been in every market in the country
and knows practically all the large
buyers by name. He is acquainted
with the needs Of every section of the
country. Among the farmers and the
men who sell to the larger companies
he enjoys an enviable reputation and
has a very large, following. It is
doubtful IL any man in the business
is closer in touch with the producers
and the consumers than is Mr.. Pond.
