Wailing and Cursing on East Side, Though Private Banker Says Assets Are Ample. —_ Outside the three banks of Abra- ham L. Kass in Harlem, the east side and Wildameburg, crowds of men and women, giris and boys stood at dawn to-day. Some were silent and some were walling, and not a few were On the door of each bank was a! notice of the State Superintendent of Banks, saying that the State had} taken over the business of Kass and | the banks would not be reopened un- til further notice. The troubled depositors knew what similar notices had meant last August to the people who had en- trusted their savings to the banks of Jarmulowsky, Ma: WILL REPAY SAYS KAS! Banker Kass and his son David went to the Clinton Street Station and were escorted to the Essex Street bank by a hollow square of plain- uniformed policemen As they shoved him through the crowd into the bank a wild wall arose, It continued while Kass, shaken and near tears, made a statement in his office to an Evening World reporter. “Twenty-six years I have been in business on the east side,” he said. “Iam an honest man. My assets are ilt-edged but slow to turn into money in these times. I shall pay every dollar which has been trusted to me. “For seventeen weeks I have been in torment. I have paid out nearly $1,000,000. Friday I patd $27,000; Saturday it was $25,009. I have begged depositors individually for time and ome of them have helped; some of them have been content with 25 per cent,, some with 60 per cent. Others have taken from time to time % per cent. of thelr deposits. “Lown many mortgages on excellent Paying properties, but they are not salable. With the help of the State Banking Department I know I can liquidate and begin over agai: Kass admitted that the banks re- ceived deposits yesterday, Until the last moment, he said, he thought he could weather the storm. There was a run on the Willlams- burg branch at No. 85 Graham Ave- nue yesterday afternoon. At 5 o'clock Kass, who was fighting off the run in person, ordered the bank cleared and went out In front and announced that “for the present” he had no more money. The depositors howled and made a rush for him, but he slipped inside. Later.a clerk worked through the crowd, promising everybody that the bank would reopen witb plenty of money at 7 o'clock to-day, The crowd ‘blowly scattered. Meantime news of the run reached the Manhattan branches. The bank ordinarily stays open until late Mon- day night for deposits, There was a rush at No. 100 Essex street and at No, 1656 Madison avenue, Kass sent word to the Banking Department of his trouble and went himself to the Madison Avenue branch. A deputy banking superintendent went there at 7 o'clock and ordered the closing. Similar action was taken at the other branches. A aquad of Policeman had to escort Kass from the bank to the One Hundred and Sixth Street station of the Third Avenue elevated. Daylight found nearly a thousand who meant to take advantage of last night vv at the Williams- burg bran A policeman from the Stagg Street Station tried to explain to them that the bank was closed indefinitely. At first they refused to believe him and lat jhowed @ disposition to wreck the building. The Stagg Street re- serves were sent, and help was asked from other stations. The demonstrations in front of the fine marble-faced building in Essex Street were so serious that after three outbreaks the sergeant in charge of the ten policemen keeping order sent for as many more, Three Yiddish speaking poiicemen took their stand at the doors and made speeches advising quiet and Meadiness and had the crowd fairly under control when a woman in the niddle of the street lifted her arm melodramatically and pointed to the fancy front of the building. “Yesterday,” she screamed, finest building in Essex Street, lay the disgrace of the east side.” With a@ yell the crowd ed for ra and the police had to resort th meeasures to save a smash.

Needless to say, no such depopulation of New York drawing-rooms has yet begun. Nevertheless, the {asue is up to women more squarely than! ever before, in the opinion of Rabbi “It 1s not," he explained to me, “that I place on women all the re- sponsibility of upholding a high standard of sex-morality, That re- sponsibility rests also on men, who are most frequently the active offend- againat the law of purity. “But women have more power jay than ever before, and id support of the single standa morality would be most valuable from the point of view of efficney.

WASHINGTON, Dec, 1.--J, Borden Harriman, the retired New York banker and broker, died here to-day after an acute illness of about two months. The cause of his death was digestive trouble, for which he had been treated b ythe best specialists in this country and Europe, It was about the middle of October last, while Mr. Harriman lay ill at bis country home at Mount Kisco, N.

He prayed several times with the sick man and a little jater Mr. Harriman showed marked improvement. Subsequently, however, he again began to fail. In order to spend the winter In Washington, Mr. and Mrs, Harriman came here early last month. J. Borden Harriman was the son of Oliver Harriman, the banker, and @ cousin of the late Edward H. Mar- riman. He was born in New York, fifty years ago, and graduated from Princeton in 1885. He was for many years associated with his older brother Oliver, in the brokerage ‘irm of Harriman & Co., and represented the firm on the floor of the Stock! Exchange. In 1913, his health began to fail, and upon the advice of his physi-| clans, he retired from the active life of Wall street, and from Harriman | & Co, He remained, however, a ihe rector of the Railroad Securities Co, of No. 111 Broadway until his death. | He jn survived by his widow, who | was Miss Florence affray Hu and one daughter, Miss Ethel Harriman. prosperity.

She and Chauffeur Fiance Have Been Spirited Away, It Is Charged. For more than two weeks the §50,- 000 stolen love sult brought by Eugene 8. Van Riper, a young real state operator, against his former father-in-law, Col. Frank H. Ray, one of the heads of the Tobacco Tru and Mrs. Minnie Boyd Ray, his wit has been ready fér trial before Ju tice Donnelly In the Supreme Court. No one interested tn the case seemed to know—and if they did they didn't want to say—why the trial was de- layed. To-day the mystery was solved when it was learned that Van Riper in aMdavits on file had charged Col. Ray and his stepdaughter, Mrs. Ethel Boyd McCloskey, who is Van Riper's divorced wife, with having spirited away two of his most tmportant wit- n Jullus Freise, former chauf- four for Col. Ray, and F Miss Nellie Mahon of No. 73 Congress Street, Jersey City, who was Mrs. Ray's maid. Freiso lives at Nof 83 Junction Avenue, Corona, L. I, an according to Van Riper's aMdavits, neither the chauffeur nor Miss Ma- hon have been at their homes for sev- eral weeks In reply to, the charge Col. Ray, his wife and Mrs, McClosky deny they had anything to do with tho alleged disappearance of the pair and they allege that if any one knows of their whereabouts it is Van Riper himself. Van Riper considered the testimony of the two witnesses of crucial im- portance to his sult, as, he claims, Frelse and Miss Mahon both learned intimate details of the alleged con- apiracy to alienate the affections of ising Witnesses made aM- davits not time ago, according to Van iper, and copies of them are gub- mitted with the other papers. In his aMdavit, Friese said he drove Van Riper, Mrs. Ray and the bride to the Little Church Around the Corner, Dec. 7, 1908, and witnessed the cere- mony. Following the wedding, Friese states, Mrs. Ray, in great perplexity, asked him “I wonder if we have made a mistake, and would it be hard to get a divorce.” Miss Mahon declares that Mr. and Mrs. Ray prohibited Mra. Van Riper from anawering the telephone when her husband called. Some time after this Mra, Van Riper went to Chicago where her own father lives, and ob- tained a divorce from her husband. Three other affidavits stating Frelse declared Col. Ray had made him a@ proposition to get out of town until after the alienation suit had been tried, are offered from Howard A. Norris, of No. 635 Broadway, Peter Gallagher and Thomas F.
