BY REGINALD C. HARMON
Mayor of Urbana

Copyright, 1882. by United Press
URBANA, ILL.,, Jan. 20.-Our
community was caught Unexpectedly
in the worst calamity ever felt
here. Sinister influences and
malicious runors had undermined
the firm foundations of some
Champaign and Urbana banks.
When the First National bank.
Champaign, and the Commercial
State bank, Champaign, failed to
open for business, not because of
insolvency, but because of lack of
cash caused by quiet runs extend
ing over weeks, part of the local
citizenry momentarily became
alarmed.
Runs were started on the remain
ing twin city banks, which. I be-
heve, if allowed to continue would
have brought greater grief and a
greater catastrophe to our COM
munity. Faith in our fellowmen
and in the future must not be
shaken.
Closed Business
Although realizing that to close
all business firms here would cost
the community more than $4,000
daily, 1 believed that in the final
reckoning two banks will continue
to serve Urbana, and faith and
confidence would be preserved by
closing all business houses.
Not until after considering the
good of all citizens did decide to
invoke the police powers of the
mayor to close business firms, in
Guiding the banks.
Only those firms which dispense
food supplies, drugs, transportation
businesses, public utility agencies
and newspapers now are function
ing. For the rest of this week bust
ness in Urbana will be at a stand
still, while our leading citizens are
restoring confidence.
1 have firm belief and faith in
Urbana citizens, as they had in me
for two terms, and evidences al
ready show that the hysteria which
gripped some, has subsidized and
turned into confidence.
People More Confident
Already more than 1900 persons
have pledged their entire deposits to
the Busey State bank and the First
National bank, Urbana, until some
later date when normal deposits and
normal Withdrawals will be re-
Sumed.
The Association of Commerce, the
Rotary Club, the lawyer. the doc
tor, the merchant, the laborer. have
all expressed themselves as conf
dent for the future. While I have
the power to use force to close any
business as an emergency measure
to preserve peace and order, have
not had to do so. nor do I expect
such procedure will be necessary as
the proclaiming order seems to be
sufficient.
Merchants and professional men
have united to help Urbana through
this crisis. feel they practically
have done so, and at such time as
I deem necessary the proclamation
closing business firms will be re-
voked.

head by Witt as he ran into the
store, testified again today.
1t was reported here that defense
attorneys may file a motion for a
directed verdict of acquittal this
afternoon at the close of the states
case.
After two-day battle, Ira
Holmes and Eliza o. Rogers, defense
counsel, who contested the states
right to bring Wits alleged confess
sion before the jury, were support
ed Tuesday night by Judge John
w. Hornaday.
The court held that although
Witt might not have been beaten
or otherwise mistreated, detectives
had no authority to force him to
sign any statement which might
have been used as evidence against
the defendant.
The defense case will be based
entirely on the alibi that on the day
Of the murder, Witt was at the
lola (Kan.) home of Louis f. Ham
ilton, alleged trigger man" in the
shooting, who will be tried later.
The state has hammered at the
Witt alibi with testimony of Milo
Stockberger, indianapolis rooming
house operator. Stockberger, whose
wife left him to marry Witt, said
the defendant had admitted the
shooting to him few hours after
it occurred.
The rooming house operator also
testified that he had seen Hamilton,
