Many depositors came In carriages and the carriage line extended for over a block from the bank.

There was a short run on the Bronx branch of the Knickerbocker Trust company, when It opened for business. It was promptly stopped by the arrival of two wagons from which were unloaded In view of the waiting; depositors big bundles of spjecle: and currency. -Confidence Is Shaky." There was a steady stream of persons to withdraw deposits from the downtown offices of the Knickerbocker Trust company and despite the rapidity with which claims were paid there were more than 176 persons in' line at 10:30. o'clock. The stock, market's tpenlng showed severely the effect of the re newed shock to confidences caused by the spread of financial distrust by the published details of the affairs of the Knickerbocker Trust company.

Prices broke widely on the openins transactions under thin outpouring of storks, but almost Immediately rallied. The rebound approximated from one-fourth to one-half of! the first "break. Milwaukee Is Calm. Milwaukee, Oct. 22.

I do not believe that In the long run practical legislation, wtll rise much above the' level of average theoretical belief. All departures, therefore, from the view that marriage la 11 divine Institution are a menace to society, and all philosophical theories which make the Institution merely a phase of biological evolution are In principle destructive of the home. But there is a sentiment of loyalty to family tie which men have In spite of their theories and there Is a (banco, therefore, of appealing to their sympathies of those who cherish sweet memories of the little kingdom the hniie over which, their mothers ruled. By all means lot that appeal be made, The christian church In both its Catholic and Protestant forms can do much to prevent society from lowering It own ethical estimate to the level of statutory regulations. It la very easy for me to feel that what the law allow cannot be wrong; and very difficult to enforce the requirements of a transcendental standard against that whlrlt la set by the law of the land.
