But Still the Kush to Withdraw Went On Exciting '1 hues in Financial Circles Partic ulars of the Punic Which the Bunk Finally Succumbs To. fltv Leas -d Wire to The Times ) New York. Oct. 22. The Knicker bocker Trust Company was forced to suspend payments at Its main office and three branches this afternoon alter one of the most sensational runs in the history ' of New York j banking. j Although the second largest trust 'company in the city, with deposits j of $t(l,(l()0,u00 and a surplus ot more 'Cian $r., 000. 000, the Institution I tittuwl itunli' holi,1aoo In tTia tnna nt the crisis precipitated by the forced resignation of Charles T. Barney as , president last night. Even Fierpont Morgan Couldn't Hve It. -.; :;" Even the pledge of suport by the clearing house association and the millions in cash of J. P. Morgan, F. G. Bourne and other financiers avail able, it was impossible to continue the steady stream of gold and silver that flowed Uirough the paying tell ers windows. The ,'. Harlem branch at 125lh street and Lenox avenue where the run began this morning was the first ot'close Its doors. At 12:30 o'clock the branch was closed, after they had paid $850,000. A few minutes after the suspension was announced at No. 66 Broadway, Superintendent of Banking Skinner took charge' and ordered the doors closed. Everybody In the bank was driven out, the depositors protesting loudly and demanding their cash. Superintendent Skinner had a brief conference with the officials of the trust company and then communi cated with the attorney general of the state. The wildest rumors Immediately be gan to circulate In the Wall street district. The saner Impression, how ever, was that the trust company was solvent and that it would resume pay ments tomorrow with unlimited cash at Its command. Superintendent Skinner refused to make any statement after taking charge of the main office of the trust company. The suspension of pay ment there had caused wild excite ment, but this was doubled when the watchman and special police of the trust company began to clear the building and the announcement was made that the' doors were to be closed. The purpose of Superintendent Skin ner In communicating with the attor ney general could not be ascertained. There was no one who would say that the Institution was not perfectly sol vent. It had been the intention of Henry B. Hollins and other officials ot the company to resume payments this afternoon as soon as more caBh was available, but this ,plan apparently was . nbnndnned w ith the arrival of Superintendent Skinner. Despite the fact that $8,000,00 In cash was exposed to the view of de positors at No. 66 Broadway, and that enormous sums were rushed In heavily guarded automobiles to the Harlem and Bronx branches, It was Impossi th Harlem branch at bio for a time to check the run or even partially restore confidence. At tlu; Harlem branch at 12!th street and Lenox 'avenue the crowd was so great and turbulent that the officials tele phoned for police protection and the reserves of the West 125th street po lice Btatlon were called out, There was a line of one hundred persons In front of the mnln ofllro of the Knickerbocker In the Manhattan Life Insurance building at No. 66 I Broadway when the doors were open ed. Harry E. Hdlllngs, one Of the, j board of directors, was In charge, In j side the bank behind the window of the tellers, but In full view of the de : posltors was $8,000,000 In cash. It was the old Jay Oould expedient which : was used yesterday by the Bank of ' North America, but today It failed j of Its purpose to allay the fear. The first five minutes showed the ' officials that there was a run on the company and telephone reports from Harlem, the Bronx and Fifth Avenue and 4th street Confirmed their fears, I (.Continued on Page Five.)
