Solvent Condition TWO HOUSES ADJOURN
FOR FOUR DAY'S HOLIDAY
There was a run on the Exchange ■
Bank yesterday. It was neither fierce j
nor very protracted. Seventy-live j
thousand dollars were drawn out, and ■
in addition to large sums loaned by |
other banks and by citizens, the cus
tomers paid In on deposit accjtints
165,000. When the bank closed at 2
p. m. the excitement had about died
out and few there were left who were
asking for their money.
"I state positively and unerjuivocally,
that I know of no cause or reason that
should have caused the uneasiness or
time
tion of certain deposit!
and I am perfectly' at loss to locate t
starting point of the wild rumor that
did the bank so great an injustice."
ATLANTA, July 3.—For the
the history of legislative sum
mer sessions, the House and Senate
have decided to adjourn over for a
period of four days, and there will be
no session of the General Assembly
until next Monday, three of the inter
vening days, Thursday, Friday and
Saturday, having been declared non
legislative days, which means they will

Rumors of a disturbing nature enm-
eerning the Exchange Bank reached
The Telegraph office Tuesday. The
report spread rapidly during the after
noon and night and when the doors
of the bank wore thrown open yester
day morning a number of depositors
began to withdraw their deposits, but
the run was met with the utmost
case.
Information as to what was to be
expect»t1 reached the ears of the of
ficers of the institution, and-realizing
that a run was Imminent, a call was
Issued for a meeting of the Macon
Clearing House Association, composed i f b
of the bnnks of the city, and preuara-
itions were immediaely made to
meet it.
Another meeting of tile Clearing
House Association was held before
hanking hours yesterday morning, and
while the crowd was gathering at the
door of the bnr.k luge .ind bulky sums
of money wore, transferred, In full
of all, from the other banka to th
Exchange Bank. This action seemed
to lessen the excitement to some de
gree. but when the doors of the bank
were thrown open a goodly' number
began to present checks covering their
deposits.
Behind the cashier in his office were
piled up a huge sum of money, and not
en awkward or hesitating move was
made bv him as each check was pre
sented and currency promptly given in
return.
In great contrast to the scene at the
paying teller's window, at the receiving
window were being handed in by many
or the most prominent business men of
the city substantial deposits, which,
when the statistics of the day’s busi
ness were finally compiled. almost
has adjournment been taken for the
fourth, but also for Friday and Sat
urday of this week. Some surprise
has been expressed at this action,
especially in view of the fact that this
Legislature has been looked to as a
body of reformers. The reason given
for the adjournment is the fact that
neither the President of the Senate nor
the Speaker of the House has been
able as yet to name the committees,
which are necessary to the transaction
of business. It is also claimed that.
Saturday is not a working day, a quo
rum seldom being present the last day
of’t,he week.
There was quite a discussion over
adjournment resolution in the
House when it was called up by Mr.
Hall, of Bibb. Several amendments
were offered looking to declaring all
the intervening days “dies non.” Mr.
Dunbar, of Richmond, said it would be
bad precedent to include Sunday in
that list, because it would ultimately
mean that the seven Sunday's would
Pvv be declared dies non and added on at
the end of the session. The House
finally compromised by declaring only
Friday and Saturday non-legislative
days or dies non. hut when the resolu
tion reached the Senate, it caused con
siderable debate on the same score.
The Senate finally passed the ad
journment resolution as it was passed
by the House, with the exception that

Jas. H. Hawley, senior counsel for
the State, said in reply that it was the
intention of the State to present a
series of motions dealing with the evi
dence presented by the defense. At
torneys Darrow and Richardson were
on their feet instantly, to say together
that the defense also would have some
motions to make, so that the end or
this week, or the earlv part of next,
the taking of testimony will probably
be interrupted for an extended argu
ment on the admissibility of a mass of

The Japanese officers who recently-

who spent some weeks in Germany,

for some 12-inch naval guns with the

PITTSFIELD. Mass., July 3.—After
a search lesting nearly two weeks in
which reports of the United States
marshals of Chicago, Cleveland. New
York and Boston have been endeavor
ing to serve upon John D. Rockefeller,
head of the Standard Oil Company,
a summons issued by Judge Landis,
of the Federal court of Chicago, Mr.
Rockefeller was located in this city
today and personal service made on
him by Deputy United States Marshal
Charles L. Frink, of North Adams.
Mr. Rockefeller explained that he
had not been endeavoring to dodge
service but that he did not know ex
actly what was wanted of him.
Early in the day Deputy Marshals
Frink and James Ruhl. the latter of
the Boston office, visited Taconic
farm but E. Parmelee Prentice told
them that his father-in-law was not
there. The officers professed to be
satisfied with the statement and de
parted. Deputy Ruhl boarded the
train for Boston and Deputy Frink
went to His home in North Adams,
about twenty-five miles from this city.
Later Deputy Frink decided to pay
another visit the the farm and he re
turned to Pittsfield and drove out
there in the afternoon. He proceeded
through the wooded driveway into tho
open space in front of the house and
recognized Mr. Rockefeller sitting on
the piazza. The deputy passed the
with a smile, shook hands with 'bs
deputy and expressed pleasure at
meeting him. He invited the officer
to sit on the piazza and rest, which
invitation was accepted.
Mr. Rockefeller chatted for a few
moments, saving that he had not in
tended to evade the officers, but that
he did not know exactly what was
desired of him." He referred to txrd
newspaper stories that have' been
printed about him lately and ridiculed
the idea that he had been surrounded
by armed guards or that the Taconic
farm estate had been equipped with
a searchlight. As the officer was
leaving the house. Mr. Rockefeller
again shook hands with him. said ho
was glad to have met him and added:
"If you are ever near my home. I
hope you will come and call on me.”
It is thought that Mr. Rockefeller
was advised after the morning call
of the officers that he had better ac
cept service. It is generally believed
that Mr. Rockefeller has been at Ta
conic farm since last Thursday. irt
reply to questions regarding Mr. Roc
kefeller’s presence at Taconic farm,
Mr. Prentice on Saturday said thaf.
Mr. Rockefeller was not there and!
offered a reward of $50,000 to anyone
who could prove that his father-in-

have discussed the matter feel sure of
his co-operating against such legisla

the fight is going to be strongly waged.
