ON BANKS AT AN END MILWAUKEE INSTITUTIONS AF- FECTED INSIST ON NOTICES OF WITHDRAWAL. Milwaukee, April 26.—Despite as- surances that the Milwaukee Trust company was in no manner involved by the financial troubles of Frank G. Bigelow, former president of the Fi National bank and confessed defaulter of more than $1,000,000, crowds of persons waited long before the open- ing of the trust company bank to withdraw their deposits. The depos- itors gathered at the First National bank were comparatively few at first, but the number centinued to increase. Bigelow hal been a director of the Milwaukee 7Trust company, but wien his defalcarions bvecame known he was rewoved as such by the board of girectol Notices posted on the bank windows, which the depositors, mostiy working people, eagerly scanned, an- nounced this fact and that the trust company was abundantly able and prepaied to meet the de ds of ali depositors and creditors, As the hour approached for the opening of the Lauk the ered jn front of the First National bank and the Milwaukeée Trust com- pany hecame larger and extended for half a square on Wisconsin and on| East Waier streets, A detail of po- lice was present to maintain order. rowds gath- Deinand Notice of Withdrawal, Later it was announced First National bank and the Milwau- kee Trust company had decided to take advantage of the printed clause in the pa ving depos reqiiving that & notice of thirty davs re sums under $100 can v and a notice of ninety sums exceeding $100.

Wien the doors of the First Na- k and the Milwaukee Trust re thrown open the crowd, lined up two and four abreast for a distance of half a block main entrance of each insti- | tution, filed in as rapidly as the po- lice would permit. More than a dozen sought admittance at once and there was a lively scramble to enter. Those who sought to withdraw their funds wi mostly small depositors who ap- plied at the savings department of the First National bank or the Mil- waukee Trust company. Up to noon there had been no run at any of the other bauks. Everything at this time was quiet on the South and Wesi Sides of the city, the banks in these sections doing business as al. later in the day the crowds of de- positors dwindled away and busine: at both the First National bank and the Milwaukee Trust company re- sumed normal conditions.

BECISION BY THE ATTORNEY GENERAL SECRETARY OF INTERIOR SUS- TAINED IN CONTRACT WITH RAILROADS. Washington, April 26.—The attor- ney general has sustained the secre- tary of the.interior in his rebate agreenment - with railroads in connec- tion with the transportation of mate- rial for reclamation purposes. The law which the attorney.general interprets as governing the case is contained in section 22 of the inter- state commerce act. Its language “That nothing in this act shall ap- ply to the carriage, storage or han- dling of property free or at reduced rates for the-United States.” The attorney general reaches th? conclusion: “The intention of section 22 of the act to regulate commerce was to give express sanction to any arrangement between the United States, state o1 municipal governments and railroail companies by which those govern ments might relieve themselves of the cost of tramsportation in whatever form it might assume and the should be construed to give e that intention.” In another part of his opinion he says “that in thosé cases where t fact is that the United Staies receives the whole of the concession and the contractors none then mneither the spirit nor the lelfer of the act tc regulate commerce has heen violated.” HAS NO TIME TO SPARE. . J. Hill Will Not Take Part Equitable Investigation. New York, April 26.—James J. Hill, who was selected by the directors of the Iquitable Life Assurance society as one of the committée to mvesti gate into its affairs, said during thc day that it was not true as reported that he had refused to act with (h committee because of any differenc or friction with any of its members. Mr. Hill said that his own affairs tcok up so much of his time that he had no spare moments to devote to other matter: The Equitable afizir, he added, is a matter of great impor- tance and he felt that he must de- cline to serve on the cowmmittee un- less he could participate in a very thorough examination of the society’s affairs. He had no doubt, he said, that the committee headed by 2 Frick will leave nothing undone in the examination. Mr. Hill said he feit some time ago that the time might come when the policyholders of the Equitable society would demand a thorough investigation. He said alsc that as a result of this controversy the business of life insurance would be put on a more careful hasis. i UNDERSTANDING REACHED. Rockefeller, Morgan and Hill ests Pull Together. New York, April 26.—A harmoniz- ing of powerful and recently antage onistic interests in the financial rld has bLeen accomplished, says the Times, which probably will check the ambitions of certain Pacific railway interests. It is learned from excellent sources, the paper continues, that an under- standing has been reached by the so- called Rockefeller interests, the Mor- gan interests and the Hill interes by which the holdings of Union Pa- cific stock of these men and their friends will be voted as a unit for purposes c: deciding all questions af- fecting no: caly this property but its relations to other railroads as well, and that as a consequence of such understaudin it is probable that the proposed $1¢4,006,000 issue on pre- tiz Union Pacific may rized at the meeting to ke held on May 5 at Salt Inter- KILLED BY LEGISLATURE.
