OPENS TOMORROW
'Xho run yesterday was caused by ,
rumors that n former director of the In
stitution had lfc. tho city owing $100,
000 in loans made to his firm by tho
bank on poor security. Hundreds of
small Investors stood in line for hours,
nnd drew out an estimated total of
nearly $250,000. So grcnt wns the rush)
mnny failed to reach tho doors before
they wcro closed. Banking examiners
stated late yesterday afternoon ns far' v
as they could learn from n hasty In
spection of the books, the Wfjs wr
groundless. All dcmantUriofr with
drawals were honored until one nnd
one-half hours after tho usual closing'
time.
The former director named In tho
reports is known to tho bankers nn'f
member of a nearby firm.. It wns stated
nc bnd n disagreement with his partner
last week and the firm members decided
to dlssolvo partnership. He several his
connection with the bank some time ngo.
Ho left town Friday on a business trip,
it was stated.
Banking examiners could find trace,
of only one lonn to the firm. Thnt was
for $12,000 and was on excellent col
lateral. Tho Institution was examined
last month, It wns stated, nnd was'
found In sound financial condition.
Throughout the dny, three motorcars
hurried to and fro between tho bank
nnd the business section, lndcn with colri
on their return journeys. Only small de
positors nppcarcd to havo placed ere
dence In the rumor. Largo depositors'
nnd checking nccount owners caused
little trouble. At the close of the day,
It was reported deposits were nearly 4up
tp tho average, despite tho crowrds
through which potential depositors had
td push. Rabbi P. L. Levlnthal, after
questioning the bnnk officinls, wnlked
among the line telling persons the situ
ation and nssurlng them. Many who
had withdrawn deposits later opened
new accounts with the bank.
Julius Dombro, president, was called
from a sick bed yesterday and worked
throughout the day, though suffering
with n high fever. He addressed tho
frightened depositors from n portico In
frpnt of the bank, assuring them tho in
stitution was solvent. At the close of,
business the crowd dispersed without
disorder, apparently well satisfied.
