Big Line of Depositors at the Hibernia CONCERN CONSIDERED SOUND Nothing but "Neighborhood Talk" Can be Given as Reason for Mistrust SAN FRANCISCO, Cal., Sept. 12.The run on the Hibernia Savings bank continues today. The line of depositors is half a block long, reaching to the paying teller's window. All are paid promptly and there has been no disorder. The general belief in banking circles is that the run was unwarranted and that the institution is sound. As was the case yesterday the line is composed mostly of women with a few men scattered in the procession, and in every case when they were approached said it was for the. reasor they wished to withdraw their money and further replied. they were taking no chances. Women were more open in their declarations. The chief trend of their replies was that neighbors told them the bank was weak and . they would better get their money out.

FOR RUN ON HIBERNIA BANK. Believed That Agents of an Insurance Company Are Responsible. San Francisco, Sept. 14.-The uneasiness among the more timid depositors of the Hibernia Savings bank continued during the day and when the bank opened for business there was a long line of people waiting to withdraw their deposits. As previously the bank waive I the required notice of thirty days and paid all orders on demand. At one time it was estimated that there were fully 2,000 people in line. The cause for the run is still obscure. One theory that finds favor is that the uneasiness has been created by disgrantled agents of an insurance company which had been broadly advertised by atterneys for the bank for repudiating just claims for losses. Commissioner Dunsmor of the board of state bank commissioners, after the board had concluded its examination of the bank, said: "The condition of the Hibernia bank is absolutely sound, and the management has been careful and conservative. The assets of the bank include $13,000,000 of United States bonds, $10,000,000 of other high class securities and $8,000,000 recovered from insurance." Trying to Kill mm.
