wealth.
This law, Cameron said, provides a flne of $5,000 and imprisonment at hard labor for  flve years for any, one   "making, uttering,   circulating i or transmitting to another or others any statement untrue  In fact, de-: rogatory to the flnanclal condition of any bank, banking house, bank-| ing company, trust company x x x; or other financial institution of this commonwealth."
Cameron explained that the law also provides that the secretary of banking enforce the law and he said "he will do so to the uttno.st of his power in all cases where vio¬ lations of the act come to his knowl¬ edge."
He said he was calling attention to this tew in view of several runs' on Philadelphia flnanclal institutions i believed to  have started from cir-1 culation of unfounded rumors.   He] reiterated    his previous   announce-] ment that the banking situation Ui Pennsylvania is basically sound andl that It Is time for all of us to have faith in the soundness of our busi-j ness structure and financial Institu¬ tions. —The Public Ledger
