# OKLAHOMA BANKS # CLOSED BY PROCLAMATION Oklahoma City, O. T., Oct. 28.-On demand of the bankers of the territory, Acting Gov. Charles Filson has issued a proclamation closing the banks of the territory for a week. The action was taken because the banks of Kansas City and St. Louis refused to forward cash to the banks of the southwest. It is said that a consultation of the bankers of Oklahoma, Indian Territory, Arkansas and northern Texas by means of telephone took place during the early hours this morning, and all have taken a similar action. There had been no uneasiness In this city and the bankers say the deposits last week were greater than at any previous week in the month. The closing is for the purpose of protecting the banks in case of a run. Since the banks here could not get cash from Kansas City in case of a run, they considered the risk too great. The banks of this city are carrying many of the small banks over this territory. They have aranged to issue clearing house certificates to carry them until conditions have improved. The banks of the southwest are further embarrassed because of the demand for cash to move the cotton crop. It was necessary to get cash from the east to meet the demands. The refusal of those banks to forward cash caused the banks to take radical steps to protect themselves. The governor's proclamation was as follows: "Whereas, it appears to the undersigned, acting governor of the territory of Oklahoma, that all of the leading cities of the United States through the clearing house associations have entered into an agreement to protect themselves against conditions which they are apparently unable to control, and by such concerted action are refusing to ship currency to country banks which have deposits with them or to honor the bills of lading drawn upon the banks of such, or to pay checks of customers over the counters; and "Whereas, such action makes it impossible for the banks of Oklahoma to meet the demands upon them for currency to pay for the cotton and other products of the territory, and, "Whereas, our banks appear to be in a solvent condition, therefore, "Be it ordained that a legal holiday extending from Oct. 28, six days to Nov. 2, be proclaimed.

ACTION OF ACTING GOVERNOR SURPRISE TO GOV. FRANTZ Washington, Oct. 28.-"It was a surprise to me," said Governor Frantz. of Oklahoma, tonight in speaking of the action of acting Governor Filson in issuing a proclamation declaring a legal holiday of six days and the closing of the banks of the territory as a result. Acting Governor Filson notified Governor Frantz of his action by telegraph late today. "I have been away from Oklahoma for several days," said the governor, "and therefore I am not familiar with the financial situation there as I otherwise would be, but I am satisfied that the acting governor took the step on the advice of the bankers there. "I do not see how it can injuriously affect the railroad or cotton business, as seems to be feared on the New York exchanges. The closing of the banks simply protects them against any run that might be made on them, and can be revoked at any time." Governor Frantz called at the treasury department and discussed the financial situation in Oklahoma with Secretary Cortelyou, who expressed no concern over the closing of the banks in Oklahoma.

# SIX DAY HOLIDAY. Acting Governor of Oklahoma Takes Step to Protect Bankers. WASHINGTON, Oct. 29. "It was a surprise to me," said Governor Frantz of Oklahoma in speaking of the action of Acting Governor Filson in issuing a proclamation declaring a legal holiday of six days and the closing of the banks of the territory as a result. Acting Governor Filson had notified Governor Frantz of his action by telegraph. "I have been away from Oklahoma for several days," said the governor, "and therefore I am not as familiar with the financial situation there as I otherwise would be, but I am satisfied that the acting governor took the step on the advice of the bankers of the territory. The small country banks have large deposits in St. Louis and Kansas City, and the action of those banks in refusing to ship any currency to the country banks of Oklahoma makes it almost impossible for the latter to handle their business. "I do not see how it can injuriously affect the railroad or cotton business, as seems to be feared on the New York exchanges. There is no reason why it should. The closing of the banks simply protects them against any run that might be made against them. However, if it is found that the holiday order results in stagnation of business it can be revoked at any time." Governor Frantz called at the treasury department and brought Acting Governor Filson's telegram to the attention of Secretary Cortelyou. Governor Frantz said, however, that Secretary Cortelyou did not express any concern over the closing of the banks in Oklahoma.

# BANKS CLOSED FOR SEVEN DAYS Oklahoma Institutions Solvent But Unable to Get Currency From the Big Cities. IMPOSSIBLE TO KEEP OPEN PROCLAMATION ISSUED BY ACTING GOVERNOR. Oklahoma City, O. T., Oct. 28.-On demand of the bankers of the territory. Acting Governor Filson has issued a proclamation closing the banks of the territory for a week. The action was taken because the banks of Kansas City and St. Louis refused to forward cash to the banks of the southwest. It is said that a consultation of the bankers of Oklahoma, Indian Territory, Arkansas and northern Texas, by means of telephone, took place during the early hours this morning and all have taken a similar action. There had been no uneasiness in this city and the bankers say the deposits last week were greater than at any previous week in the month. The closing is for the purpose of protecting the banks in case of a run. Since the banks here could not get cash from Kansas City in case of a run, they considered the risk too great. The banks of this city are carrying many of the small banks over this territory. They have arranged to issue clearing house certificates to carry them until conditions have improved.

# Bank Holiday in Oklahoma Forced by New York Situation. Guthrie, O. T., Oct. 29. -Acting Governor Filson today made a statement as to the actual conditions which prompted him in issuing a proclamation providing for six legal holidays. The statement follows: "The issuance of a proclamation yesterday by the acting governor of Oklahoma making the period between Oct. 28 and Nov. 2 legal holidays whereby Oklahoma banks temporarily may suspend business, was due primarily to the present policy of New York banks. The latter, by refusing to furnish currency to western correspondents forced, through clearing house associations, the banks of Kansas City, St. Louis and Wichita, reserve centers for Oklahoma banks, to decline to furnish currency to interior banks or pay cash to patrons in person or to make cash credit cr bills of lading. Oklahoma at this time is in the midst of a cotton harvest, which requires large sums of immediate cash. The handling of this cotton crop without being able to draw upon their reserve centers for necessary funds meant disaster to every bank in Oklahoma that attempted to accommodate all its customers, as the slightest wavering would have caused the withdrawal of deposits by customers already alarmed by conditions in the east. Requested by Bankers. "In view of the threatening aspect of the situation, the clearing houses of Guthrie, Oklahoma City and Shawnee, and many bankers in Oklahoma requested the issuance of a gubernatorial proclamation for a six-day holiday, or until earlier revoked by executive order, to enable the Oklahoma banks to protect themselves until money began moving westward in sufficient amounts to permit their reserve centers to transact business on a normal basis. The proclamation was issued under section 2797, statutes of Oklahoma, which permits the governor of the territory to fix such holidays as he may deem desirable. "The proclamation seems to be giving confidence instead of causing possible uneasiness. I believe the situation will speedily adjust itself, as both the citizens and banks of Oklahoma are in a highly prosperous condition. (Signed) "CHARLES H. FILSON, "Acting Governor." Reports received here from all parts of Indian Territory and Oklahoma to-

This Amount Contractedforb by New York Banks IMPROVEMENT CONTINUES Enormous Dividends Distributed By Trust Companies --Alarm Subsides. New York, Nov. 2.-Engagements of gold for importation to the United States necessitated by the recent period of money stringency in this country are approaching the thirty million dollar mark. Banks and trust companies of this city today distributed seventy-five million dollars, representing the stock dividends and the interest on bonds. This is the largest distribution in New York in the history of the country. The statement of the Clearing House banks for the week shows that they held $38,838,825 less than the requirements of twenty-five per cent reserve rule. This is a decrease in the cash reserve surplus of $37,605,525 compared with last week's statement Banks to Increase Their Circulation. Washington, Nov. 1.-The treasury officials agree that the financial situation is distinctly improving and re. ports today from the financial centers were of a reassuring character. News of the opening of banks in Oklahoma was received with satisfaction. There is said to be an abundance of evidence that the fear of more serious conditions, is subsiding. National banks in all parts of the country are arranging to increase their circulation. Oklahoma City Banks Re-Open. Oklahoma City, Nov. 2.-The banks of this city opened this morning on a limited payment plan. There was no evidence of a run and deposits exceeded the withdrawals. Federal Aid Extended San Francisco Banks. San Francisco, Nov. 2.-The government has come to the assistance of the San Francisco banks by expediting the shipment of coin to the Pacific coast. A sum said to be in the neighborhood of ten million dollars will be transferred from the sub-treasury here to the banks and federal bonds will be deposited at the same time in the sub-treasury at New York as security. Pittsburg Adopts Script System. Pittsburg, Nov. 2.-Checking by script system which was decided upon here yesterday is in general use today by members of the Clearing House Association. It is believed the business men and employes will accept this plan, which will insure the steady operation of the great industrial establishments in the Pittsburg district. The enormous pay rolls of seven million dollars weekly had to be met and much anxiety existed among local bankers owing to the present money stringency. Under the system inaugurated every employe will be paid with checks of five, ten, fifteen and twenty dollars denominations, smaller sums being paid in cash. The business men are expected to accept these checks the same as currency.
