NOT TO ISSUE CERTIFICATES
Omaha Banks Not to Ask Each other
for Money.
SITUATION IS NOT GRAVE HERE
United Effort BeinE Made by the
Bankers of the Country 60 Keep
supply OF Cold from
Leaving.

Omaha bankers at a meeting OF the
clearing house association yesterday aft
ernoon decided not to issue certificates
I'M settling clearing house balances, but
agreed among themselves to settle with
Chicago or eastern exchange instead OF
cash.
This will be In harmony with the
movement In the larger cities to preserve
Americas sold supply during the crisis
growing out OF the threatening war sit
ustion in Europe The national banks
in Omaha were notified Sunday OF the
steps that had been taken in New iork
and Chicago along this line.
To Keep Gold Here.
The issuing OF certificates" said
Henry w. Yates, president of the Ne
braska National Bank, means that q
united effort is being made throughout
the country to preserve tho country's
gold supply. For example, II foreigner
has q large deposit in bank here, he
might demand his money and demand
It in gold. That does not mean that the
bank must pay II in gold On the other
hand, IL the banks decide to go on a
clearing house certificate basis, il might
issue him such a certificate, or certify
his own check which he could then cash
wherever he chose.
What the banks want to do is TO
preserve Americas gold supply for a
time until the rush is over, or until
fresh supplies of currency can be OBJ
tained through the Vreeland- Aldrich law.
Europe does not really need our gold as
bad as she needs our commodities She
needs our commodities in a time like
this, and I really think IL Is a great OPP
portunity for us"
Savings Not Affected.
There is no disposition on the part OF
local banks individually to invoke the
sixty day notice clause In savings bank
receipts. This was done Ia Chicago, ac-
cording to dispatches. Bankers say there
is no disposition to do this here, and IL
1t should be eventually done, 1t would
come through a decision of the clearing
house simply as another means TO pre-
serve the gold supply in America and
for no other reason. The sixty day
clause referred to is that which requires
depositors to give that much notice TO
the bank when they desire to withdraw
money from their accounts.

Lonesome donkey.
