All savings banks and private banks in quarters of the city inhabited largely by persona of foreign birth Were subjected to runs to-day because OF the war news from Europe. The rush for money had been expected by bankers, and a rule was established Mimiting withdrawals to from $26 to $1004 ‘The law allowing savings banks ire sixty days’ notice of intent to withdraw deposits was invoked in all cases, and this added to the un- easiness of the unlettered.

In the past three Mays thé east side has been flooded with extra editions of newspapers printed in foreign tongues, dissem- inating the wildest of rumors. Inquiry by Evening World reporters along the lines of depositors waiting at different banks established that most of them are inspired aolely by a desire to get their savings into thetr own possession, There appears to be an impression that the bankers of the United States are gending all the money in this country to Europe to help out bankers on the other side and that there will soon be no monoy left in New York.
