cIamor of Depositors Causes
Them to Enforce Ninety
Day Rule
FOR PATRONS PROTECTION
BY the Associated Press

Boston, Sept. 27.-Several hundred
persons gathered outside the Offices of
the fremont Trust Co. here today when
the doors were opened at 3 40 a. m,
fifteen minutes before the usual hour,
and lines quickly formed before the
several paying tellers' windows. After
Withdrawals had been going on steadily
for nearly an hour with the crowds con-
stantly increasing the bank officials an
nounced that the lawpermitting bank
to require ninety days notice for with
drawals from the savings departments
would be invoked forthwith for the
protection of the depositors." The
regulation would be withdrawn "as
soon as the public calmed ITSELF" it was
announced.
"We have plenty of money to pay
everybody officials said, "and were
prepared to do so this morning, but
the crowd became so large that 1t was
impossible to handle IL and we in =
voked the law for the protection Of the
depositors, not for our own protec

Upon opening for business today the
Fidelity Trust Co. served noticed on
depositors that it would take advan-
tage of the law permitting it to require
ninety days notice of Withdrawals from
the savings department. 1t was stated
at the bank that this was done upon
the direction Of Joseph g. Allen. state
bank commissioner. At his Office it
was said that the taking of this action
was optional with the banks.
Several banks opened their doors
with large amounts of ready cash piled
high within the tellers' cages as pro-
vision against repetition of the runs
which developed Saturday out of the
closing of the Cosmopolitan Trust Co.
Bank officials in several instances
announced by statement or, advertise
ment that there was no connection be-
tween the Cosmopolitan, which was the
fifth bank TO be closed here within two
months. and their institutions, and
Bank Commissioner Allen declared that
no other banking institution was in
volved in the Cosmopolitan troubles.
Nevertheless a. recurrence of the runs
in some degree was anticipated, deposi

case of the fremont Trust Co, having

BALD FRESHMEN ON VIEW
Sophomores' Clippers Took Some
Hair, BARRIERS the Rest

freshmen classrooms today, while their
angry owners stood lot of kidding"
from their classmates.
Campus BARRIERS reported a rushing
business in ''once over with the clip
pers.' 1t isn't new fad. It's max
ing the best of bad bargain.
Friday afternoon some of the soph-
omorcs caught crowd of freshmen and
operated ,on them with barber's clip
pers. The sophomores did a job that
was more artistic than complete, how
ever. Instead of removing all the hair
from the freshmen's heads. they clipped
cross from the neck to crown and
ear to ear. The sophs thought it looked
fine. but the fresh were so lacking in
appreciation of the second year men s
artistic efforts that they hurried to
the barber early Saturday morning and
got it all shaved off.
Now the fresh are using their spare
moments planning the terrible things
they hope to do to their tormentors.

Order Mccall From Bank Directorate
One effect of the close scrutiny Of the
affairs of local banks which Commis-
sioner Allen has been making was an
order from him to the management Of
the Old South Trust Co. to drop from
its payroll former Governor Samuel
Mccall and four other officials, includ-
ing two vice presidents. As chairman
of the board of directors Of the com :
pany, Mr.. Mccall, who was appointed
recently, is drawing salary of $4,000
year.
The object Of the order is to reduce
the banks expenses, it being the opin-
ion Of the bank commissioner that the
men that he asked to have dropped are
holding merely nominal positions. In
each instance they may continue to
serve in their present capacities with =
out salary, according to the order from
the bank commissioner to the Old South
management.
The Old South Trust Co. was closed
a year ago and reopened recently after
having rehabilitated its finances with
out loss to depositors.

bers of the senate committee on re.

nounced that unless the coal indus.
try reforms itself and cuts prices to

they will introduce a bill for the most
stringent regulation Of every branch
OF the business"
The senators declare they do not
undertake to say that this individual
is a prohteer and that this one Is not,
but the coal industry as a whole
stands self-convicted of practicing
gross extortion on the whole public
OF the United States.
I'VE are both opposed to govern
ment regulation as a policy the
statement said, but the government
must assume responsibility for its
people, and We will recommend a bill
for entire control Of the industry
Just as far as possible under the con
sttuton unless prices are materially
reduced to the public by December 6.
I'VE are deadly in earnest about
this. We are both conservatives on
the matter of government ownership,
but we are absolutely disguised with
this situation.
