giant bank wittl deposit* amounting to
nearly (70,000,000, most of It tho money
of men and women out of business, at
least tn Its present form, was admitted
by a director of the company, who said
after the meeting that lasted until early
today:
Knickerbocker Won't Reopen.
"There Is no' chance that the Knick
erbocker Trust Company will reopen (n

now."
Attorney General Jackson, after a
conference with Acting Superintendent
of Banks Skinner that lasted long after
midnight, made the announcement that
he would take no step to close the
Knickerbocker Trust Company today,
even If It did not resume payments. Mr,
Jackson said:
At a conference between Secretary
Cortelyou, who came from Washing
ton on a hurry call, and the bankers
of the city headed by J. P. Morgan,
at the Hotel Manhattan, U was finally
decided that the point needing but
tressing now Is the Trust Company of
America, the third largest Institution
of Its kind In the city, and of which
Osklelgh Thome Is president.
Enmest attention was given to this
new problem and the result was the
formation of a powerful syndicate to
stand by the company at Its opening
today.
Where rumors new so thick tn the
financial -district*, sparing not even
the soundest Institutions, It was not
surprising that the name of Ryan was
mentioned. Reports were abroad that
the big financiers of the city at the
trust company meetlnge had decided
that the effacement of Mr. Ryan from
the directorates of other financial In
stitutions was necessary to restore con
fidence.

MORGAN’S ATTITUDE
PUZZLES WALL STREET
New York, Oct. IS.—J. Plerpont Mor
gan's attitude tn the present crisis Is
a pussle to Wall street. After making
a tacit pledge that he would provide
(6,040,000 to aid the Knickerbocker
Trust Company In Its extremity, tt la
asserted that ha failed to make the
promise good and It was largely due to
hla failure to do so that the company
had to close Its door*.
' The Morgan firm was driven out of
the open use of the vast funds of the
New York Life Insurance Company by
the Investigation that was brought out
through the Harrlman use of the
Equitable Company's funds and Walt
street has a story that Morgan Is about
to take advantage of the present oppor
tunity to even th# account with Harrl
man arid the Standard OU crowd.
Whatever may be his purpose It Is
known that he has been buying vast
of trouble anywhere else In the coun
try."
PRESIDENT EULOGIZES
OLD HICKORY JACKSON.
Nashville, Tenn., Oct. 21.—In the
course of his address at the Hermitage
yesterday President Roosevelt said:
"And I believe that at need, the
American people would do well now In
war, because I believe that we have
among us men who would be borne up
by the same spirit to which Andrew
Jackson was able successfully to ap
peal on that misty January morning
when the fog lifting showed th* scar
let ranks of the gallant British regu
lars advancing, to die tn the assault
on the breastworks at New Orleans.
3o It was true of you men of the great
war (speaking to the old Confederate*
standing In front of the stand), you
fought with the muzzle-loader. Some
of them were flint lock*. I guess. Now
we have the high power small caliber
rifle. Rides that were new In your dny
>r unknown tn our day, are antiquated
now. Th* tactics change. They wear
khaki Instead of. either blue or gray,
but It ever the crisis comes our men
:an only win If they show that they
have now ths same spirit that sent on
to battle the men In blue and the men
In gray In the dark years from '61 to
66.
"The spirit does not change, and It Is
the spirit of the man that counts as
the ultimate and decisive factor In bat
tle. We need organisation, we need
reneralshlp, but organisation and gen-
ralshlp can not avail unless the pri
nt* soldier In the ranks, unless the
iverage man with a musket has got
the right stuff In him, for If he has not
got the right stuff In him, you can not
get It out of him.
"I should not say that Old Hickory
waa faultless, but Andrew Jfckaon wns
is upright a patriot, as honest a man,
is fearless a gentleman aa ever any
nation had In public or private life. HI*
memory will remain forever a precious
national heritage and his public career
should be studied nnd assimilated by
vvery nubile man who desires to be. In
good faith, the servant of the whole
people of the United State*."

one startled look Into the air and then,
with a shriek, rushed Into the house
