CITY BANKS AWAIT SIGNAL TO REOPEN DOORS TUESDAY; STATE RULES ARE DRAFTED Plans Are Ready for Business Renewal as Soon as Favorable Word Is Received on Applications. Indianapolis bankers today were awaiting the signal from the treasury department authorizing them to reopen for business Tuesday, ending the banking holiday which has been in effect for two weeks. Machinery was being placed in order for reopening without loss of time as soon as the government acts favorably on individual applications for permission to reopen filed by all clearing house members.

The clearing house also is awaiting approval of a set of restrictions, designed to prevent withdrawals of large sums of cash for hoarding, adopted at a meeting late Saturday. Possibility was seen that only part of the city's banks might be authorized by the government to reopen Tuesday, and that the others might be delayed until Wednesday or later, depending on the length of time necessary to determine each bank’s individual status. May Be Some Restrictions While clearing house members declined to divulge nature of the restrictions drawn up Saturday, pending their approval, it was believed that some banks would permit unrestricted checking privileges, but would restrict large withdrawals of cash for hoarding. Others, for the time being, might restrict withdrawals by cash or check, it was reported. Regulations governing reopening of Indiana state banks, with more liberal restrictions than the 5 per cent limit on withdrawals, have been prepared by Governor Paul V. McNutt and his advisers and are ready for announcement, with approval of federal reserve officials. Prepared at Conference The Governor said the regulations, which will affect all state banks, were prepared at a conference with Attorney-General Philip Lutz Jr., state banking department officials and representatives of the Indianapolis clearing house. Bank official? expected some word from the Chicago federal reserve bank on the proposed restrictions and possibly telegraphic permission before night for banks to reopen. All members of the Indianapolis clearing house were preparing to open Tuesday if permission is granted Clearing house banks include the Indiana National bank, Fletcher American National bank. Merchants National bank and the Fletcher Trust Company, the four federal reserve system member banks; and the Indiana Trust Company, Union Trust Company, Bankers Trust Company, Security Trust Company, Peoples State bank and Live Stock Exchange bank. The Fountain Square State bank is an associate member. Cash Is Scarce Reopening of the banks will relieve thousands of Indianapolis families of a highly pressing problem, that of obtaining cash with which to pay food and other bills. With all bank accounts frozen, many firms paid their employes Saturday with checks, for which it was found difficult to obtain cash. The William H. Block Company announced today that it will accept pay checks, exchange one-half in cash and the remainder in merchandise or merchandise-credit. An official of the E. C. Atkins Company said the first regular pay roll will be met at noon Tuesday. Some Cash Released Several banks, on authorization from the treasury department, paid out cash for pay rolls Saturday from the 5 per cent of deposits made on and prior to Feb. 25. together with money deposited in the new segregated accounts. Several loans were made for pay rolls on government bonds, the only collateral acceptable for loans under the bank holiday terms. Most firms, however, were forced to pay by check, or by cash obtained through their ordinary business transactions. , Some paid part cash, others part cash and grocery orders, while several companies divided the usual pay check into a number of smaller checks, more easily cashed in exchange for merchandise. BELIEVE MONEY AFFAIRS TO BE SUICIDE CAUSE Roger M. Edwards Dies Three Hours After Shooting Self. Despondency over financial matters is believed to have prompted the suicide Saturday night of Roger M. Edwards, 21, an attorney and aviator, who shot himself shortly after he answered a telephone call, the nature of which has not been learned.

1907 PANIC SHATTERED BY MORGAN

Grim Financier Stands Like Rock Amid Clamor of Thousands

Ruin stalked in Wail Street *hen the Knickerbocker Tru*t Comoanv failed In 1907. But the Mosruls. led bv Morgan, advanced immediately heroically Into the breach. The story of how the panic .was stemmed is recalled herewith in the final article of this series. BY FORREST DAVIS Times Staff Writer NEW YORK, March 13.—' The storm centered at Broad and Wall streets on the crucial Wednesday in panic week, 1907. So dense were the crowds, massed on subtreasury steps, two rivers of sullen men meeting at the intersection, that a horse-drawn equipage scarcely could be forced through. But shortly before 9, a gray cob, drawing a shiny coupe, advanced confidently from Broadway and deposited a single passenger, who, looking neither to right or left at the mob. strode into his banking house. The crowd, shrinking back, fell silent. There went Morgan massive, truculent, a huge cigar jutting from under the high crowned, familiar derby. J. Pierpont Morgan “called to the throne of finance; made master of more millions than ever a human being controlled before; with the wealthiest of the country as his vassals; with financiers of international reputation as his aids and the great United States treasury as his almoney.” Morgan, men said, would save the banks. Two others advanced into the stricken, confused financial center that morning. With Morgan, they would bear the heat of the day; would wage aggressive war on the forces of confusion—and win. Arriving singly also came George B. Cortelyou, youthful secretary of the treasury, and James R. Keene, the grizzled, profane, dyspeptic ‘cougar of Wall Street.” U tt B Throughout that critical Wednesday these three stood with their backs, figuratively, to the wall, the credit structure of a powerful country as their stake. The melodrama ran its course, climax succeeding to climax, and at three desks, separated in space, Morgan, Cortelyou, and Keene fought to save the banks and the stock market from ruin. They were stationed at three points of a triangle at Broad and Wall streets. The secretary of the treasury, aloof, never touching pencil to paper, sat in an old-fash-ioned leather armchair in a room at the subtreasury overlooking the milling, hysterical crowd and the Morgan banking house. Keene, engaged by Morgan to “save the market” from disorderly rout, dominated the stock ex-

CHICAGO BANKS AREREOPENED 15 National and 17 State Financial Houses Again Doing Business. Ity United Press CHICAGO. March 13. —Approved by the government as sound banks, fifteen national and seventeen state banks in Chicago reopened today to do full banking business. The national banks, including the “Loop" banks, which have built La Salle street, received formal authorization to open through the secretary of the treasury. State banks, all of which have applied for membership in the federal reserve system, were announced by Edward J. Barrett, Illinois state auditor. Federal reserve authorities have aproved the applications for membership in the national banking system. Treasury orders provide that only Chicago banks in Illinois open today and that other middle-western cities having clearing houses will have their banks reopened Tuesday and smaller communities on Wednesday. The executive committee of the Chicago Clearing House Association adopted a resolution providing that all withdrawals by depositors must be accompanied by an “anti-hoard-ing certificate.”

by Charles J. Karabell, judge pro tern., and shortly afterward Chappel was rearrested. He was unable to give bond in the latter cases. Cards placed at Karabell’s disposal carried a history of several previous encounters with the law by Chappel. INSTALLATION IS HELD New Officers of Church Club Take Over Duties. Installation services were held Sunday for officers of the Men's Brotherhood of the Roberts Park Methodist church, by the Rev. William Edward Bell, pastor. New officers are M. A. Clapper, president; Otis Kirkpatrick, vicepresident; Ralph A. Fenimore, secretary, and Herbert W. Lacy, treasurer.

change at the other apex of the triangle. Keene—“the calmest man in Wall Street" that day—supported the market with orders given his three secretaries in his little office on the fifth floor of 30 Broad street. And in his own office Morgan, rising 70 and at the peak of his power, mobilized the wealth of New York, in bank and out, to be pledged with the government for currency to withstand the bank runs. About the grim old financier and filing past his desk as if they were mere clerks and not the money masters of their time, Rockefeller, Ryan, Harriman, Frick, Gary, Vanderbilt pooled their securities in a common fund. a tt a MORGAN ruled by right of personal force throughout the crowded day as lines lengthened outside the Trust Company of America, the Lincoln Trust Trust, the Morton Trust; as the gigantic Westinghouse combine failed in Pittsburgh for $60,000,000, closing the Pittsburgh exchange; as call money went to 125 per cent at the lending post and dozens of houses faced suspension. The Knickerbocker Trust had gone; but the other large trust companies must be preserved. Morgan and the National bankers didn’t like the trust companies, but if they succumbed no one could foresee the effect on the conservative banks. Cortelyou had arrived at 9 p. m.

He brought „ $25,000,000 in government funds — the treasury still had nearly SIOO,000.000 which could be deposited in national banks.

LOOT IS TAKEN BY BURGLARS Cash and Merchandfse Are Obtained in Stores and Homes. Yeggmen and thieves staged a series of burglaries in homes and stores during the week-end, obtaining cash and merchandise valued at several hundred dollars, police said. A small safe was dragged from the office to a garage in rear of the General Motors Truck Company, 31 West Thirteenth street, Saturday night and $250 taken from the strong box. The combination had been removed. Yeggmen tore off the combination, but failed to gain entrance to a safe in officce of the East End Dairy, 577 Highland avenue, R. A. Bulstra, operator, said. Vandals early today gained entrance to a branch library at Rural and Washington streets, scattering books on the floor and looting desks. Sounding of a burglar alarm routed prowlers, who early today attempted to cut a hole in the roof of a Haag pharmacy at 3514 College avenue. Other week-end thefts; Meier pharmacy, 1401 East Nineteenth street, unestimated; Miss Vivian Rice, 1242 College avenue, unestimated; Clarence C. Anderson, 3218 East Eleventh street, sl3; Carl T.

Roy Byers, manager of Riverside skating rink, furnished all the teams in the tournament with rink skates for the games and will continue the same service throughout the event. Goal-tending equipment was furnished by the Indiana Pro League, and its officials, Hendricks Kenworthy, Tom Kenworthy, Gar Davis and William E. Holmes, officiated, kept time, and scored all games. Prizes in the tournament are being given by the Kingston Products Company of Kokomo, manufacturers of high-class skates. First team in the tourney will be equipped with the concern’s top brand of skates and the runners-up will receive high quality skates. The L. S. Ayres store has co-oper-ated with the Kingston Company and The Times in promoting the meet, the Ayres store giving a hockey stick and puck with each pair of skates sold.

“What are you worth, what have you got, how have you been doing business?” They answered tersely, laying on the desk summaries of their positions. The trust company presidents were passed on to George Steele, Morgan juniors, who examined their portfolios and reported on their worth. Meanwhile, Morgan received the financiers. tt tt tt "TT was just 10 o'clock,” the A World of Thursday reported, “when Thomas F. Ryan, tall, broad shouldered, came silently into the glassed-in space. Back of him was E. H. Harriman; behind were Henry C. Frick, Judge Elbert H. Gary, of United States Steel, with W. E. Cory, its president; George F. Baker, of the First National; a representative of the Vanderbilt interests; James Stillman, of the National City, as a representative of the Standard Oil; Norman B. Ream, and representatives of every great financial group in the country visited him. “ 'How can you help the situation?’ was the sole question. “Never before in the history of the city, it is safe to say, has there been passed over a table securities and symbol or memoranda of securities equalling the amount of money these thirty or more men passed over the desk to the man who was in command. “AH this was Morgan’s, upon which he could raise the necessary money to tide over the situation. With this he could go to the banks intrusted with government millions by Mr. Cortelyou and get cash sufficient to tide over the emergency. Mr. Stillman came in and took a chair at the desk opposite, and the second order of the day was given: “ ‘Save the Trust Company of America! We must make our stand there; if it survives the

shock today, and perhaps tomorrow, the worst of the storm will be over!’ ” tt tt tt FOUR “enormous” bags holding the Trust Company of American’s collateral were poured out on tables in J. P. Morgan & Co.'s offices. They were checked as to value and found ample. As 3 p. m., the close of the banking and Stock Exchange day, approached, the tension increased. The Trust Company of America was withstanding its run. And over at the stock exchange, Keene’s buying following his customary pattern in multiples of 300 shares, had shored up prices. The support which Mr. Morgan and the Keene brokers gave to Union Pacific, Pennsylvania and United States Steel saved the day when complete demoralization threatened,” said the World. Rumors flew thick and fast on the floor. It required prompt denials from Harriman to prevent harm to the western railroads, when the story spread that Morgan had demanded as a condition to supporting them that the dogged little financier retire as president of Union and Southern Pacific. ' Old enmities were forgotten. Seldom ever have the warring interests in Wall street joined in such strong solidarity. On that day the back of the 1907 panic was broken, although runs continued into the following week on several trust companies, and only the receipt of $100,000,000 gold, in all, finally restored currency to its old freedom.

M'NUTT SIGNS TAX BOOST ON CHAINSTORES Governor’s Approval of Galloway-Cantley Bill Is Surprise. Taxes on the individual stores in chains of twenty or more are increased 600 per cent through the surprise action of Governor Paul V. McNutt in signing the Gallo-way-Cantley house bill sharply revising the chain levies. McNutt signed the measure Saturday night. A pocket veto had been predicted for the bill, which raises the big chain taxes from 525 to $l5O, because the Governor has been reported as feeling a $75 top would. be more equitable. The measure also increases from sls to S2O the tax on six to ten stores inclusive and boosts from S2O to S3O the tax on eleven to twenty stores inclusive. The present $3 tax on one store and $lO on two to five stores inclusive were left unchanged. * Revenue to Be Doubled Rough estimates by tax board accountants indicates the 1933 amendments approximately will double the revenue received by the state. This revenue, in 1929, was $350,000, including taxes, paid by filling stations. However, construction of the law in regard to filling stations is *■ in litigation and the $325,000 thus far paid by them are held in escrow. The state won in a suit in Marion (jounty. but an appeal to the Indiana supreme court is scheduled. Since 1931, the chain store tax bill has been the center of tax controversy in both houses, and was killed in that year. Another amendatory measure introduced in the 1932 special session also died. “Reno Bill” Is Signed Among the four other bills the Governor signed before the deadline for executive action on legislation was the so-called “Reno bill" liberalizing the Indiana divorce laws. The measure reduces from two years to one the residence requirements for persons applying for divorces. Another change of importance is the provision allowing a householder, instead of a freeholder, to testify to the applicant’s residence. Six bills that were pocket vetoed by the Governor included the Barry bill prohibiting sale of prison-made goods to any one except the state or * one of its governmental units.
