for depositors.

bering many women, clamoring for ndmls
slon, the directors of the bank, nftcr a
hasty conference, offered a reward of $1000
for the arrest of the person who started
the rumor. A large sign to that effect was
hung over the entrance.
Dollar far dollar was paid to those who
demanded It,' according to Italph T. Moyer,
cashier, who issued the following state
ment: The bank Is absolutely solvent.
Numerous other banks havo offered
assistance, but we have not found It
necessary to accept the offers. The
city of Philadelphia has made no move
to withdraw the $14,000 which It has
deposited here. We are pujing every
cent demanded, notwithstanding the
fact that we are not required to pay
the ta ngs deposits without two
weiks' notice and the Christmas fund
until December IE. Tlje total amount
withdrawn will not aggregate 125,000,
whereas the day's deposits are $50,000.

only the small savings deposits, business
men friendly to the bank hurriedly collected
sums and deposited them. This re-established
the confidence to a large extent and
the crowd dwindled to lew than 109 persons
this afternoon. The bank Is Incorporated

$150,000 and a reported, surplus on April

DETAILS OF SETTLEMENT
ON RAILROAD DISPUTE TO BE

the Cast Room of the White House, when
600 rallrond workers, representing 400,000
of their follows, will hear from President
Wilson his reasons for believing they can
settle their differences with their employers
without using their threatened weapon
paralyzatlon of transportation.
Tho men nro coming to hear the appeal
the President hns made to their subcommit
tee hero. Word was communicated to tho
President at 12:30 that tho conference in
New York between tho delegates of the
general committee nnd W. S. Carter, of the
subcommittee, had resulted In nothing defi
nite beyond ngrcement to hear him. Ar
rangements wero mado Immediately at the.
White Houso for tho president to receive
them tomorrow.
PLAN OF AGREEMENT.
With tho ngreemnt by the managers' to
oc.cept the baslo principle of the eight-hour
dny, provided the question of overtime shall
be submitted to an investigation, employes
today wcro considering a proposition em
bracing the eight-hour day temporarily,
with present rates for overtime. Both sides
would yield somewhat from their original
stand The railroads would concede tha
eight-hour day, with Its resultant Increase
In wages to tho men. The men would yield,
for a time at least, their demand for tlma-and-n-half
overtime.
By submitting the elght-hdur principle
to a try-out ' and investigation each side
would be taking equal chances.
The employes Insist the railroads or the
President suggest the means of investiga
tion nnd allow them to pass on It One
plan discussed Is that advanced by the
Indus-trial Relations Commission. This was
that In case of a disagreement, Buch as the
present, a board of mediation and Investi
gation should be created to Include ons
member from each side, a third to be
chosen by the two selected, or by the Presi
dent. It would be necessary, then, to give
by legislative enactment powers to tha
