The National Savings Bank. THE EXCITEMENT AMONG DEPOSITORS ALLAYEDTHIRTY DAYS' NOTICE REQUIRED TO WITHDRAW DEPOSITS. At a meeting of the directors of the National Savings bank last evening it was decided to pay claims of depositors only after the thirty days' notice. The formal order, which was drawn up in accordance with the notice, stated: "This order is made with a view to allay unnecessary excitement on the part of numerous depositors, as well as for their own better protection, and with the utmost confidence that no creditor is in the least danger of losing a dollar of his claim." There was a line of depositors at the bank this morning, many of whom were not aware that the thirty days' notice was to be required. Some filed their notice and some went away satisfied. President Snyder, in speaking to a STAR reporter, said: "This has had a most reassuring effect on the crowd. and in half an hour they will all have dispersed, a great many without filing their notice. They are satisfied that their money is safe, and that the course we have taken is simply to allay the excitement and bring their better judgment to bear." "Did many claim their money?" asked the reporter. "Well, there were quite a number, but they were light depositors, and the whole amounts claimed would not aggregate over $3,000." "By making a claim, the payment would be made after the 1st of July. Would a depositor lose his six months' interest in that case?" "Certainly," was the reply. "Making a claim today affects the interest just the same as if he had withdrawn his deposit. No. sir; I look for no more excitement or worry," added Mr. Snyder. "We are sound, and the people know it." The Georgetown Law Commencement. YOUNG LAWYERS WHO RECEIVED THEIR DEGREES LAST NIGHT.
