TREMONT TRUST CO. STANDS FIRM AND PAYS PANICKY After Distributing Cash for .an Hour Law Is Invoked Providing for Withdrawal Notice-Boston Bank ing Firms Are Able to Take Care of Selves, Is Tip From the Ex aminei. Boston, Sept. 27.-Several hundred persons gathered outside the offices of the Tremont Trust company here to day when the doors were- opened at 8:45 a. m., fifteen minutes before the usual hour, and lines quickly formed before the several paying tellers' win dows. After withdrawals had been going on steadily for nearly an hour with the crowds constantly increasing, the bank officials announced that the law permitting a bank to require 90 days' notice for withdrawals from the savings departments would be invoked forthwith "for the protection of the depositors" The regulation would be withdrawn "as soon as the public calmed itself," it was announced. . "We hav plenty of money to pay everybody," officials said, "and we're prepared to do so this morning but the crowd became so large that it was im possible to handle them, and we in voked the law for the protection of the depositors not for our own protection," Upon opening for business today the Fidelity Trust company served notice WRIEi The childrenl Wrigleys -an good for them.

Allen state bank commisisoner. Al his office, it was said that the taking of this action was optional with th( banks. Several banks opened their doors with large amounts of ready cash piled high within the tellers' cages as pro. vision against a repetition of the runs which developed Saturday out of th( closing of the Cosmopolitian Trust company. Bank officials in several instances announced by statement or advertise ment that here was no connection be tween the Cosmopolitan, which was the fifth bank to be closed here withir two months, and their institutions and Bank Commissioner Allen declared that no other banking institution wat involved in the Cosmopolitan's troubles Nevertheless, a recurrence of th< runs in some degree was anticipated depositors having become alarmed, and in the case of the Tremont Trust com. pany, having made constant withdraw. al from early morning to nearly mid. night Saturday. The feeling of uncertainty over the banking situation was the schedule o: discussion by Governor Coolidge an< bankers yesterday, but without an nounced decision of any contemplate< action.

On close scrutiny of affairs of local banks which Commissioner Allen has been making, was an order from him to the manage\nent of the Old South Trust company to drop from its payl roll, former Governor Samuel W. Mc Call and four other officials including two vice-presidents. As chairman of the board of directors of the company Mr. McCall, who was appointed re cently, is drawing a salary of $8,000 a year. The object of the order is to reduce the banks' expenses, it being the opinion of the bank commissioner that the men he asked to have drop ped are holding merely nominal posi tions. In each instance they may con tinue to serve in their present capacity without salary, according to the order from the bank commissioner to the Old South management. The Old South Trust company which was closed a year ago, re-opened re-, cently after having rehabilitated its fi nances without loss to depositors. 0-. -_ FOOD PRICE TUMBLE PREiDICTED BY RETAILER Chicago, Sept. 27.-A general reduc.. tion in food prices was predicted today by Sol Westerfeld, president of the Retail Grocers' association, who ex cepted only eggs and butter from what he said would be a steady decline. le said high interest on bank loans made price cutting necessiry for producers to move their crops. Mr. Westerfeld said canned goods now being paccekd must be lowered in price to move it; that coffee had re cently dropped 10 cents a pound, and that he loked for cheaper bread be cause of lower flour prices. Fruit was at a minimum in some cases lower than 1914 prices, he said: "A lthnnph it may mean loss to some producers and distributors," he said, "the nation as a whole will benefit and a return to normal conditions will be effected." il NOTICE Notice of Petition for Hlomestead and Personal Property Exemption: Take notice that Mrs. Carlotta M.
