The run was caused by an unfounded rumor that gained circulation yesterday and spread among the employes of various manufactories In the city. An art store on the opposite side, of the street had been seised by the sheriff. A passer by remarked to a friend that "the art store across from the First National bank has failed." Someone within hearing caught the last part of the sentence and told his friends that he had heard that "the First National bank had failed." The rumor spread rapidly. A small number of depositors applied at the bank yesterday afternoon and withdrew their money. Long before the regular time for opening tho bank today a large crowd of depositors gathered in front of the Institution. To accommodate the people the bnnk opened lis uoors oeiore o cioca. y iu o cioca fuged to kt hm , the crowd ot depositors extended into tne street in front of the bank. Directors of the bank mingled In the crowd and suc ceeded In allaying the fears of many, but In tjielr savtnga. All applicants were paid promptly. Other banks of the city profered nsslstance, but thoJr aid was not needed. While the withdrawals were being made prominent business men of the. city, to allay alarm, made large deposits In the bank. The First National Is one of the most prosperous banks In York. It Is capitalised ot $300,000 and has $100,000 surplus. Its last report shows resources of I2.379.4M and deposits of $2,287,109.

Mahoney to Instruct the Jury to return a verdict for the defendants In the case of Anna Connell, against the Convent of Mercy of Omaha. Mr. Howell, attorney for Miss Connell, occupied much of Thursday morn ing In combatting Mr. Mahoney's motion on the ground that the Convent of Mercy had entered Into a contract with Miss Con nell to care for her and give her proper sustenance while a member of that order, and that the contract was good In law. He cited numerous authorities In support of his argument. While not deciding the motion of Mr. Mahoney, Judge Munger said in a lengthy review of the case, ' shortly before noon Thursday: 'Vows are a mutter of religious faith. Miss Connell had a light to abandon these vows at any time, but when she did so she ceased to become a Sister of Mercy.y The organization to which she was attached by these vows are required as long as she remained a member of the order to : give her proper support. That is the part-of the contract, which ' U given In conlderai tlon of her vows. So long aa he performed her vows as a Sister of Mercy "In regard to poverty and . obedience, the organization said tacitly to her. 'We will maintain and support you.' It Is a contract that must be observed. If, while she was a member, 1 she did not receive what she was entitled to, and her health was Impaired In conse quence, she Is entitled to recover. The relation of the duty of the parent to child applies In this case. A person has a right to change his or her religion at any time, but that does not deprive her of the right of maintaining an action against the de-rendantsV- As to whether this contract lies with the Sisters of Mercy or a corporation, my mind is- not yet clear, that Is not under consideration at this time, but must be left for a further hearing of the case and with the Jury." Judge Munger called the Jury In at 3:40, and excused It again until :30 Friday morning. Should the case continue before the Jury, which now seems probable. It Is ascertained that the defense will put on about fifty witnesses, and the case may continue through all of next week. Weston found Allen loafing In the store of Barnes & Williams and he submitted to ar rest without any show of resistance-. Until Informed by Sheriff Canning, Allen said he -was unaware that his uliot had proved fatal. He made no denial of the i shooting and said he was glad to go back. He said he had slept out in the fields two nights and was tired out and every bone in his body ached. Thursday morning Coroner Brallcy held an Inquest over the body of Lee Jtrrett, who was shot Tuesday evening at Thirty second and Jones streets. The Jury re turned a verdlqt that Jarrett came to his death from the effects Of a bullet fired from a pistol In the hands of Leslie Allen. Leslie Allen reached the city jail at 6.10 last night. He was placed In a cell and the charge of murder was booked against him. Before being locked up he expressed himself as glad that he was caught. He said, he would rather be in jail thun to feel that he was being hunted. After the shooting he lost no time in getting out of the city. He crossed the East Omaha bridge and spent the night In the streets In the outskirts of Council Bluffs. Wednes day night he slept In a hayloft In the coun try near Weston. He stoutly declared thut he did the shoot ing In self-defense. He- suld his brother-in-law put him out -ot the house after he had had some words with his wife. This angerod him and fy went to a pawn ship and purchased a revolver. When he re turned to the house he told Jarrett that he did not Intend to be put out of his own house -by anybody. -Then he said Jarrett drew his knife ' anil;, attacked him.

The meeting oVganlxed by electing J. B. Reynolds, president of the Kansas CltyLlie Insurance company, chairman, and T. W. Plackburn, counsel of the Rankers Reserve Life aompany of Omaha, TJeb., secretary The forenoon was devoted to .an Informal discussion. At the afternoon session Hie following resolution , was . .unanimously adopted: Resolved. That wo favor the utmost pub licity In the life insurance business, we In vite the closest supervision of honest public, officials, we favor such uniformity of laws In the several states as shall safeguard the Interests of the policyholders, avoid abusea and take the public and policyholders Into the confidence ef the management, and be lieve that corrupt officials should be firomptly punished. We believe the searvh Ight of careful, competent and honest In vestigation has no terrors to honest life companies, At the evening session, those present adopted the following: Resolved. That we are opposed to any In terference with state supervision and con trol of life Insurance companies, that fed eral supervision Is not expedient, and wa believe Is unconstitutional, and under ex isting conditions we are opposed to it. V?e endorse strict state supervision. In support of this resolution we suggest the followlng: 1. The suareme court of - the Vnlted States has frequently held that interstate Insurance is not Interstate commerce, and therefore believe federal supervision as pro posed is unconstitutional, and that congress cannot make thr.t commerce which Is not commerce by a simple enactment or resolu tion. 2. Federal supervision Is Inexpedient be cause It Involves years of expensive and uncertain litigation, the unsettling of fixed principles of the legal Interpretation 'of policy contracts and obligations, and may seriously impair the securities of lire com panics. It involves the enactment of fed eral laws now in forre In the several states affecting life Insurance, and It refers to u body which has never legllnted upon the subject, a question whleh for fifty years has been considered the sole province of the state legislatures. 8. If state supervision has failed through the Incompetency of an Individual commis sioner, this is an argument against taking from the fifty state departments the author, lty and power to protect their policyholders. If a state superintendent can be venal or Incompetent, a national superintendent is subject to the same influences, and th power In the hands of one man, his short comings would affect the country st large, while the failure of one state official can under existing circumstances be neutralized and ameliorated, and ocrrected by those of the various other states. 4.

LOO LOO CASE' OF DAVID ST. CYR One of Important Matters Com lug Be fore federal Coart at .xt Term. . Among the notable cases to be tried at tha coming term of Die United States dis trict court is the indictment against David St. Cyr. an Omaha Indian, who is charged with stealing the ejiUre allotment -records of tha Omaha tribe of Indians about a year ago and conoealiiig . them. Consternation resulted from the disappearance of the rec ords, which gave the date of the birth and tribal relations of every member of the tribe. Tha theft of the records assumed a serious phase and efforts were at once exerted to recover the records y Omaha Indian Agert Mackey, -but for a long time his efforts wer-, futile: St. Cyr had been employed .about tha agency in some sort of clerical capacity. Finally suspicion was directed toward him and after a prolonged search tha records wer found securely conceded In his house, soma miles from the agency. The real ob ject of tho theft ot the records has not yet been developed, but it is thought at tha Omaha' agency and about the ' federal building the. motive waa either to destroy them entirety or to secure a big reward for their restoration: Another motlvo is thought to have gov erned- tha theft of the records ' in that litigation relative to heirship allotments might be confounded and questionable titles maintained. However, shortly after tha theft of the records numerous suits were brought relative to land titles on the reservation and many ot these are still pending In. tha federal courts in one form or tha other. Tha trial of the case is one that will attract considerable interest from land holders and lessees on the Omaha res- ervatlon and some rather peculiar develop ments regarding land leases up there will be, given, publicity for the first time.
