TINE chilling spectacle of bank
Il runs has been spared New
York during this money stringen-
cy. Not so in 1907. In the last
parallel emergency, occurring
twenty-five years ago last October,
the streets were crowded with
anxious depositors and spectators
drawn by New York's inveterate
curiosity to the scenes of dread.
Bank runs were for one week
the most conspicuous feature in
the towns life. The clergy SER
monized; wits derided the peoples
fearfulneSS.
Almost as abruptly as panic de-
Scended it lifted. Resolute CO.
operation between the government
and bankers helped essentially
sound institutions weather the
storm. Confidence returned. Only
nine banks went down during the
dark week.
Of the nine only one-the
Knickerbock Trust-stood in the
upper tier of the metropolis
banks. It's failure, which was due
to special circumstances, brought
on the panic.
The stock market strain during
the preceding week had affected
nearly all the banks. But the
Knickerbocker, fun a mentally,
was weak.
It's president, Charles T. Barney,
rich, respectable, an art collector
and typical nabob of his day, had
oyereXtended the bank in real
estate speculations. When the
storm broke far too large a share
of the Knickerbockers assets were
frozen in real estate.
The story of the Knickerbocker
failure, from the midnight salvage
party at Sherrys the night before
the run to Barney's violent death
three weeks afterward, is of high
dramatic content.
HSHERING in the panic week
~ of Oct. 20, the National Bank
of Commerce Unexpectedly an
nounced its refusal to clear for
the Knickerbocker.
That meant, as every one knew,
that the National Bank of Com
merce, convinced that the trust
company had reached a state of
insolvency, no longer would spon-
Sor its checks with the clearing
house.
The announcement, symbolizing
doom, came late in the day. It
heightened and justified the APP
prehenSions which had grown over
the weekend while the clearing
house directors we're Strengthening
out the affairs of the Morse and
Heine banks. Barney resigned
at once. A. Foster Higgins, a di-
rector not associated, as had been
Barney, with Morse, took his
place.
Wall Street, accurately sensing
the consequences, closed ranks.
The remaining directors Of the
Knickerbocker, searching for
means of saving the bank, capped
a troublesome day with a foolish
decision.
They voted to dine at Sherry's
