BY the Associated Press. fs mo

The Secret Service agents called into
the cases by the ofiice of the controller
of the currency, who has charge Of ma
tional banks, have promptly traced in
several cities the circulation of rumors
intended to cause runs on banks.
In a number Of instances the agents
have found that the reports were cir
culated by disgruntIed or hysterical
persons and no prosecution has fol-
lowed.
In others, State authorities have
taken over the prosecution OF persons
circulating the rumors.
w. H. Moran, chief Of the Secret
Service, said his staff was intensely In
terested in such activities and would
promptly cooperate with State officers
or themselves investigate any reports
of persons circulating untrue stories
concerning condition Of banks.
The chief said that in every case
where the Secret Service had inveSti-
gated the rumors it had been found the
banks were in good condition and the

Traylor, president of the First National
Bank of Chicago, said today ne had
reports from practically every large city

to have been directed by radical group
interested in fomenttng a social revolu-

been used in Chicago.
There is no doubt" Traylor said, but
that runs on Chicago banks were caused

interested persons. Anonymous tele-
phone calls we're used IN attempts to
cause panic among depositors of even
the largest and strongest banks.
