Knickerbocker Trust Company ol
New York Closes Its Doors.
STOCK MARKET VERY WEAK
Values Decline Sharply in Spite of Ef
fort* to 8upport Prices—Secretary
of the Treasury Cortelyou Expected
to Render Assistance.
New York, Oct. 23.—The Knicker
bocker Trust company, the second
largest trust company in New York
city, with deposits amounting to about
960,000,000, closed its doors at 12:30
p. m. following a steady run of per
sons who called to withdraw their
deposits. The company officials de
clared that the suspension of payment
was only temporary.
The closing of the doors of the In
stitution was attended with sensa
tional scenes at its main banking room
and the Harlem branch. Depositors
who crowded the rooms clamoring for
their money were Insistent that they
be permitted to withdraw even a few
dollars and when this request was re
fused many refused to leave the build
ing. Police assistance was necessary
to preserve brder. At the main office,
Fifth avenue and Thirty-fourth street,
after the doors were closed the crowd
surged it? way inward. The police
forced them back to the stredt again
and from that time a guard was kept
in front of the entrance.
The stock market was very weak
and declined sharply in spite of early
efforts made to support prices.
Secretary of the Treasury Cortel
you announced from Washington that
he would support the New York city
national banks and it was understood
that he would order the deposit of
$6,000,000 of government funds in this
city as soon as satisfactory securities
for the sum should be received.
UNABLE TO MEET DEMANDS
Reason Knickerbocker Trust Company
Suspended Payment.
New Yprk, Oct. 23.—Following a
persistent run at the main and branch
offices of the Knickerbocker Trust
company the officials of the company
at 12:30 p. m. decided to refuse fur
ther payment to depositors because of
inability to secure currency in suffi
cient amount. The Knickerbocker
Trust company has deposits of over
$60,000,000 and assets of more than
$66,000,000.
About 300 depositors were in the
main office of the Knickerbocker
Trust company awaiting their turn to
withdraw their deposits when Second
.Vice President Joseph P. Brown came
out of his office and announced to the
depositors that payments on checks
had been suspended temporarily be
cause of the inability of the company
to obtain currency fast enough to
meet the 'demands. At Mr. Brown's
announcement there was a rush of de
positors to the telephones and the
acquaintances of the officers of the
trust company appealed to them to be
allowed to withdraw small amounts.
These appeals were refused.
An attempt was made to close the
.doors against the depositors who were
waiting outside the office, but they
made a dash for the doors and forced
their way past the men on guard and
into the office. Police were then sta
tioned at the doors.
A detail of police was required to
clear the Harlem branch of the
Knickerbocker Trust company. The
crowd insisted on having their money
and refused to leave the banking room
until forced out by the police.
Officers of the Knickerbocker Trust
company said that the company had
paid out between $7,000,000 and $8,
000,000 to depositors during the day.

GREETED BY IMMENSEtJROWD
City Filled With Visitors From a Ra
dius of One Hundred Mile6 and the
Chief Executive Is Accorded One
Continuous Ovation.
Nashville, Tenn., Oct. 23.—Never be
fore in its history was Nashville so
elaborately decorated as it is to give
welcome to President Roosevelt. Bun
ting, flags, banners and pictures of the
president are almost on every house
In the up town section of the city,
which is crowded with people from a
radius of 100 miles, and the reception
he is being accorded is of the old
fashioned kind.
When the special train bearing the
president and his party arrived it was
greeted' with the booming of cannon,
ringing of bells, blowing of whistles
and the cheering of thousands of per
son*? who had gathered to do honor to
the president. The president was
met at the depot by a reception com
mittee, who were Introduced by Gov
ernor Patterson, after which Mr.
Roosevelt and those accompanying
him were escorted from the train to
their carriages. The parade was then
fonned, the chief executive's carriage
head ng the procession.
As the procession proceeded through
the decorated streets the president re
ceived cne continued ovation from the
thousands that lined the sidewalks.
One feature of the parade that was
particularly pleasing to Mr. Roosevelt
was the nrcsenee of the company of
gray and grizzled Confederate veter
ans in line. It was a compliment
which he deeply appreciated.
On Sixth avenue, near the state
capitol, the parade was brought to a
full stop in order to enable the presi
dent to view the tomb of President
James K. Polk, after which the march
to Ryman auditorium was continued.
Greeted by Immense Audience.
As the president entered the audi
torium an immense audience arose
and gave him a welcome that he will
•not soon forget. Governor Patterson,
in a brief address, then? welcomed the
president, who responded.
President Roosevelt, at the conclu
sion of his address, immediately left
the auditorium in an automobile for
The Hermitage, the home of President
Andrew Jackson, twelve miles frern
this city, followed by a long line of
carriages and automobiles containing
citizens.
On the arrival of the party at The
Hermitage mansion the president and
party were shown abost the building
and grounds and then proceeded to
the tomb of President Jackson, where
President Roosevelt and others made
brief addresses.
Mr. Roosevelt and those accom
panying the official party then began
the journey to the president's train at
The ITermitr.se station, the road pass
ing the Tennessee Soldiers' home. At
this point the Confederate veterans
received the president in line and
requested that he favor them with his
autograph in a register specially pre
pared for the occasion. His signature
was written in this book with a quill

NORTHWEST IS IMMUNE.
Conditions in New York Not Likely to
Have Any Effect.
St. Paul, Oct. 23.—According to St.
Paul and Minneapolis bankers the
time has passed when conditions such
as are reported from New York can
have any immediate effect upon the
financial situation in the Northwest.
For several years the Northwest has
been a lender rather than a borrower
of money. Deposits in the commer
cial banks of the Twin Cities are now
at a higher figure than ever in their
history and money is being sent into
the country to facilitate the movement
of wheat, which at the present, prices
is being released by the farmers. This
money is in turn deposited in country
banks by the farmers and is, gradually
returning to St. Paul and Minneapolis
in the form of reserve .deposits from
the country banks.

taken by the treasury department in
the matter of making deposits of gov
ernment funds to national banks to

Cortelyou said that not only would he
not make any statement at this time

the matter of deposits. It is ,under

the leading national banks of New
York.
EARTH IN NO DANGER.
Newly Discovered Comet Will Not
