Hartford, Conn, March 1O-(UP) Connecticut banks, which had expected to open their doors to-day for a limited amount of business, remained closed under an extension of the holiday declared Sunday.
 Governor Wilbur l.. Cross added a state proclamation to that of President Roosevelt late last night when informed the federal holiday had been extended fndefinitly. Cross dclared to-day and Saturday holidays, and said he would Issue a proclamation for additional legal holidays if necessary.
 Banks. operating under the close guidance of the state banking de- partfnent, had expected to open their doors to-day. Their activities would have been limited. however. to the payment of payrolis, issu- ance of money needed to move and provide foodstuffs, and acceptance of deposits for safe keeping.
 Governor Cross explained that while he intended the Connecticut state holiday shall conform to that called by President Roosevelt, he has no authority to call one to run indefinitely, and therefore, must is. sue his proclamations from day to day, or for certain days.

vision, and were modelled after the. restrictions drafted by the secre- taPy of. the -treasury-for the reopen. ing of sound national banks.
 Trust companies and .savings banks were told to demand 9O-day withdrawal notices, and to pay out weekly only comparatively small sums to depositors who needed funds for their daily necessities. All new deposits are to be segregated and are payable on demand. No gold Is to be paid out, and all at- tempts at hoarding are to be pre- vented.
 The general assembly to-day was expected to pass another banking bill, approved yesterday afternoon by the banking committee. It pro- vides for changes in statutory pro- visions on univested and undistrib- uted trust funds to aid banks in maintaining a liquid position.
 New insurance regulations, for bidding Connecticut insurance com panies including fraternal organiz- ations, from paying loans and cash surrender value on policies for the duration of the emergency, were is-. sued by Howard P. Durham, state insurance commissioner.
 Provisions were made, however. to permit loans to policy holders tC meet obligations, with loans limited to $100. The restrictions, Durham said, do not interfere with payment of death claims and annuities. He said the regulations would not have been necessary except for the gen eral cessation of banking facilities. Connecticut companies have made unusual provision to meet all de- mands, he said.

 Stick Is Working
(Continued from Page 1)

(Continued from Page I) ernment expenses by about $500,- i 100000.
 l MT Roosevelt asked that his pro- | posed legislation be put into effect at once. without even waiting for the beginning of the next fiscal year." He assured congress that if this were done there is reason able prospect that within a year the income of the government will be sufficient to cover the expenditures of the government"-a balanced budget.
 The message was the presidents s second in two days. The next will propose, in keeping with his pledge for swift and decisive action, a pro- gram for a $500.000,00O bond issue to increase employment.
 In the same terse, paunchy style that characterized his m essage on the banking crisis yesterday, MT Roosevelt warned that flor three long years the federal government has been on the road toward bank ruptcy."
 National recovery, he said, de- bends upon a sound basis for the unimpaired credit of the United States government.
 If the powers he asked are given him, the president declared. they Twill be exercised in a spirit of justice to all, of sympathy to those who are in need and of maintain ing inviolate the basic welfare of the United States"
 Tt is too late for leisurely ap- proach to this problem" MT Roos- evelt informed the special session of congress. We must not wait to act several months hence. The emergency is accentuated by the necessity of meeting great refund- ing operations this spring.
 The president said that the finances of the government require "courageous, frank and prompt ac- ton" just as surely as the banking crisis for which sweeping legisla- ton was enacted at his request yesterday.
 The presidents message said the deficit for the fiscal year 1881 was 100000 and for 1892 had in creased to $2.472,000.000.
 For the fiscal year 1898 it will probably exceed $1,200,000,000," he said.
 Thus we shall have piled up an accumulated deficit of $5.000,000,- O0O."
 Regarding the legislation which he is proposing to deal with the situation, MT Roosevelt said:
 'I am not speaking to you in general terms. I am pointing out a definite road.
 "The last congress enacted leg islation relating to the reorganiZa- tion and elimination of executive agencies, but the economies thus to be effected are small when viewed in the light of the great deficit for the next fiscal year. They will not meet the pressing needs of our credit situation. Provision for additional savings is essential, and therefore I am asking the congress today for new legislation laying down broad principles for the granting of pensions and other vet eran benefits, and giving to the exc cutive the authority to prescribe the administrative details"
