The erowd incerased in numbers after the supper hour, and when the people, ‘the greater number of jhom Wwere foreigners, and depositors at the bank, demanded admittance and the return “wof their money, matters became so serious that Mayor Schumacher taok the situation in hand, and demanded that the- crowd disperse, reading the riot act -from the steps of the bank building. Mayor Schumacher issued a call for every. police officer. in . the city, and ordered the fire alarm to be sounded, ‘which called the entire “department to. the section where the building is located. =~ When the fire- men arrived the lengths of fire hose were unloaded along the thorough- re. Orders were given by May- ér Schumacher that if:the crowd did ' not disperse within 15 minutes to turn on the. water. y-In the meantime the police were us- [*3e every effort to keep the crawd way from the steps leading into the "bank. The front doors were closed na locked, and, although informed hat no payments would be made for ixty days, the crowd paid no heed, Ind thé police' department had one of the “hardest jobs that it was ever ®alled upon 'to perform. Z Fire Hoso Slashed. In the bank were some of the clerks, lhe state bank commissioner, Everett Sturgess, and the board of exam- and the word was passed around it Treasurer Burton was also in the building. In many instances revolvers and knives were flourished and when told that should they continue to en- gage in disorder that the water would be turned on the crowd, they simply laughed, and threatened those who should be instrumental in handling the hydrants and hose. Their temper was shown in a measure afterward, when several of the lengths of fire hose were slashed with knives, mak- ing it practically useless. After his arrest Mr. Burton was kept at the bank building, under the care of Patrolman Malumphy. Fear was expressed that if taken from the building and to the police station that he might be attacked by some of the crawd. It was not until 8 o’clock that he was taken to the police station at the city hall. In his removal the officers did the work without the knowledge of the crowd. The only entrance to the building is the one on Main street. Through one of the windows in the rear of the building Mr. Burton was lifted and accom- panied by Patrolmen Malumphy and Ahearn he was taken along the em- bankment of the canal of the An- sonia Water Power Co., in the rear of Main street to the police station in city hall, where he was locked up. During the evening he was vis- ited by his son, Franklin B. Burton, who is a clerk in the same bank. ‘When asked by Chief Ellis if he want- ed to have a message delivered to anyone, or if there was anything that he desired to have done for him, he replied in the negative. Burton is charged with embezzling $36,000. TWO RECORDS BROKEN.

German Banking Interests Find Plot in Advice to Teutons Berlin, Sept. 17, by Wireless to Say- ville, N. ¥,—The Overseas News Agency says today: “The Central As- sociation of German banking interests informs its members that owners of American securities deposited in Lon- don banks have been advised by Lon- don banking ‘nterests to sell these securities, profiting from the rate of exchange on New York. The real purpose, however, is to make useful German-owned American securities deposited in England, the marketing of which would improve the exchange rate. Therefore the members of the assoclation are warned against authorizing such sales.” FOLLOWERS OF MIRIAM ELECT.
