THE MORNING - OKEG ONIAN, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 31, 1907. BOVERHOn CANNOT REVOKE HOLIDAY Proclamation, Even Though Found Unnecessary, Must StancL LEGAL TROUBLES RESULT Boards of Equalization Throughout State Find They Must Adjourn Till Next Week Xo Feeling of Uneasiness in Northwest. SALEM, Or., Oct. 30. (Special.) Gover nor Chamberlain has searched for legal authority to revoke his proclamation of a five-day holiday but could find none and will permit his order to stand. He is satisfied that either the five holidays were not needed or the need for them haa f passed but there is no legal method of re- ' calling the proclamation. " The Governor's own Judgment was against the action requested by the Port- land bankers but since they were united in the opinion that a proclamation was necessary he felt that their -views should be given due consideration. The procla mation of five holidays has caused con siderable inconvenience and may lead to some serious legal difficulties. Deputy AttorneyGeneral I. H. Van Winkle today advised the Yamhill County Board of Equalization that that body probably exercises Judicial functions and the only safe way to proceed is to ad journ until next week. A number of Boards of Equalization are In session in various counties and if they should trans act business on a holiday and adjourn . without ratifying the work on a Judicial day, there would be doubt aa to the legal ity of the business. There are no direct authorities bearing upon the question i whether the County Board of Equaliza- tion is a Judicial body. MEAD PROCLAIMS HOLIDAYS i Bankers Have Two Days Set Aside ' in W ashington. OLTMPIA, Wash., Oct. 30. (Special.) Governor Mead today, at 10 o'clock, issued proclamation declaring today and to morrow legal holidays. The issuance of the proclamation came as a decided sur prise to the state offices, as up to last evening the Governor had refused posi tively to take such action. By telegram I and long distance calls lasting until after ' midnight requests were made that the holiday be declared. These requests were made on behalf of ' the banks at Spokane, Davenport, Pa ' louse. Pullman. Dayton, Ellonsburg, Col fax, Walla Walla, Vancouver, Chehalls, . Centralla, Aberdeen and Hoqulam. The statement was made that the banks which , have balances deposited In Portland and other cities were unable to have the spe cie shipped and feared the consequences of a run. The holiday was asked to give time to cure the actual coin, as well as in the hope that a few days' respite might settle conditions. When the Governor finally agreed to Issue the proclamation, the local telegraph offices were closed, so he telephoned to Tacoma asking the Associated Press to make public the news. The State General fund being practically exhausted, the Governor end Auditor to day Issued $150,000 in State bonds and turned them over to the State Treasurer In exchange for an equal amount of cash of the permanent school fund. This cash will be used to meet state expenses the first of the month. This was state pay day for officials and employes at the State Capitol, and salary warrants were issued as usual, warrants being dated yesterday. For some time the State Treasurer has been refusing all checks and demanding cash, so that the' situation makes no change in his office. The State Land Office has airule that all remittances by check will be recelvecVfor 1 collection only. That office today received a large amount of applications and re mittances, but took no action on them.' The Secretary of State is refusing all checks, and today mailed back, nearly all of the corporation papers offered for filing. A few of the papers that were ac companied by currency or money orders were retained and will be filed when the holiday season Is over. Aside from the proclamation, no official documents were issued from any of the State offices bearing today's date. The Supreme Court had six cases set for hearing this morning, and to have post poned them would have unsettled the en tire calendar for the rest of this year. 1'nder the holiday law courts cannot transact any but emergency business, so the Supreme Court was compelled to ad journ, but by agreement of all of the at torneys present the cases will be con sidered as presented and decisions will be rendered in regular form. Tomorrow's calendar will be handled the same way- From the opening of the offices at the capltol there came a -rush of messages from all parts of the state asking regard ing the proclamation. County officers phoned or wired to find out if they should close inelr offices. Informally the Attorney-General's office held that as the proclamation had designated the two days lral holidays, they were such, and no public, business could . be transacted. Similar messages came from Judges of the Superior Court, who adjourned court as soon as the news of the proclamation was given to them. All the state offices here remained open the usual office hours, but. transacted no new business, except In some instances where matters were handled as of yesterday's date. DOUBLE AMOUNT OF RESERVE Grants Pass Banks In Good Shape and Keeping Open. GRANTS PASS. Or. Oct. 30. (Special.) The effect of the financial conditions in the East was felt here today, for the first time. It was not until this morning that the general public was aware of the Gov ernor's proclamation for a holiday until November 3. The local banks did a fiour Ishiog business yesterday, and it was not anticipated here that the conditions would demand closing. The stockholders of the First National Bank, of Southern Oregon, and the Grants Pass Banking & Trust Company, Immediately called a meeting in tholr private parlors to de cide upon a precautionary method to avoid any rush. ' ' . - This morning, before business hours, at the instance of the banks, a meeting of the business men and depositors was held in the Commercial Club rooms. H. L. Gilkey, cashier of the First National Bank, addressed the meeting and stated that local financial conditions were good, that each bank would kepp open during the holiday period notwithstanding the Governor's proclamation, but In the meantime would pay out no cash. Checks would be honored, credited or deposited according to the nature of the trans action, and certificates of deposit would be Issued In cases where there was no account with the bank. : At the close of the meeting a motion was put and car ried that the actions of the banks be ratified and supported. Every depositor present expressed tio uneasy feeling and no one has attempted to withdraw his funds from the banks. A general banking business has been done during the banking hours today and money has been received and deposited, checks drawn and credited or deposited, aa the patron demanded, with the ex ception that no cash passed out over the counter. The reserve fund required by the Gov ernment to be kept on hand Is 15 per cent and the banks have twice that amount In the vaults. CASH CHECKS VP TO $100 Tacoma Banks Have Plenty ol Money to Meet Demands. TACOMA. Wash., Oct.- 30. (Special.) Beginning this morning, the banks of Ta coma began operatipna on a cleasni house basis: Under the rule adopted there can .be no run on any bank. The banks would have no objection to a depositor drawing out his money provided he put it into another bank or used It in busi ness. What is being guarded against is the withdrawal of deposits from the banks with the, purpose of putting the money In safety deposit vaults or other places where It is out of -circulation. This plan does not prevent the cashing of small checks. The banks realize the fact that some money will be needed to do business, and they will honor .the checks of depositors up to $100. The banks will also furnish cash for all legitimate" pay rolls, so that no hardship will be worked by the temporary change in the method of doing business. The public accepts the situation without complaint, and there were few notices of. withdrawal served. The banks have plenty of money to meet the demands of business. TAKE LOGS AROUND THE LOCKS Surveyors Mapping, Out Route for Spur of Willamette Falls Road. OREGON CITT, Or., Oct. 80. (Spe cial.) Surveyors have been working since the first of this week between West Oregon City and WilTamette, and have been mapping out a line for a spur to run from a point near Moehnke's sawmill to the main track of the Willamette Falls Railway. It is understood that the spur will handle the1 logs for the paper mills, taking them from the Willamette near Os wego, to which point the Willamette Falls line Is to be extended. This step has been in contemplation for a lonr while, and by this means logs may be transported from the low er to the upper river by rail, and the expense of running; them through the locks will, be avoided. The work of the surveyor, who were working yes terday north of West Oregon City toward Oswego, has caused a revival of the report that the vast tracts of land owned by the Willamette Falls Company, a subordinate corporation of the Portland Railway, Light & Power Company, wifl be placed on the market in a short time. COIN SHORTAGE AT VANCOUVER Banks Make No Payments In Excess of $25. t VANCOUVER, "Wash., Oct. SO. (Spe cial.) All the banks in Vancouver are short of coin aa a result of the present general stringency, and have suspended payment on foreign drafts or checks, and no payment is made In excess of $25 at one time, as the withdrawals of deposits were heavy yesterday. All the bankers of the city entered into an agreement this morning to suspend payment in any but small sums until they can receive coin from their corre spondents. There is not much uneasiness felt among -depositors. They feel that the suspension is only temporary, and they make the best of the Inconvenience. The department officers at headquar ters have received word from Major Goodman, chief paymaster, at Portland, that the National depositories at that place will cash the Government pay Oregon City Refuses Deposits. OREGON CITT, Or.. Oct. 30. (Spe cial.) The First National Bank and the Bank of Oregon City were opened this morning for the transaction of business, Xo deposits will be received until the end of the holidays declared by the Governor, and checks and drafts on out-of-town banks will not be hon ored. The managers of the local banks, however, have plenty of money on hand for all business purposes, and will allow any depositor to withdraw a lim ited amount. The reopenng of the two banks, after having been closed one day, was not attended by any excite ment or unusual Interest, as perfect confidence in the Institutions is felt all over the city and county. USUAL BUSINESS AT LEBANON Crafts on Outside Banks, However, Are Not Cashed. LEBANON. Or., Oct. 30. (Special.) The banking situation in Lebanon is entirely quiet today and the one bank here has been doing business as usual.

A press dispatch which reached this city at 8 o'clock this after noon referred incidentally to the procla mation of a two-day banking holiday by Governor Mead, but Inquiry at the local banks showed that these institutions will pay no attention to the holidays. Finan ciers . here consider the action of the Governor unwise, as there is -absolutely no reason why the banks should not do business as usual. Normal Conditions at Ashland. ASHLAND, Or., Oct. 30. (Special.)

CUTS SHORT VISIT WEEK Kails for Home Saturday on the Rainbow Intended Prolonging . Stay In Order to Reach Berlin When the Kaiser Is There. MANILA. Oct. 30. As the result of voluminous cable correspondence be tween President Roosevelt and Secre tary Taft, it is understood that the latter will leave Manila on November 2, in order to reach Berlin at the earliest possible date. It is impossible to com municate with the Secretary at pres ent, and the officials here are reticent regarding this change in his plans. It is understood, however, that he will leave hero on the flagship Rainbow. Hear-Admlral Hemphill received a cablegram on Monday asking whether or not he could make the cruiser ready to sail on Sunday. He responded in the affirmative and was Informed, un officially, that a matter of the utmost importance is pending In Germany, and Mr. Tart s presence there Is necessary immediately. The hasty departure of Mr. Taft will cut short his stay in the Philippines one week. He originally intended leav ing on Sunday, but recently changed his plans so as to permit of a longer stay, so aa to clear up important bus! ness. ' The summons he has received from the President will cut short the programme prepared for his entertain ment In Manila. He and his nartv are due from Bagulo tomorrow evening, wnen ne is expected to attend a ban- duet in his honor given by the Amert can residents of the city. VISIT TO BE PUREIiY' SOCIAL Taft Probably Changed Plans In Or. der to Meet Kaiser. WASHINGTON, Oct. 30. President Roosevelt today declined to discuss the reported change in the plans of Secre tary Taft, and it was stated in other of ficial quarters that nothing was known on the subject. A State Department of ficial said that Mr. Taf t's visit at Berlin would be purely social, and that there was no unusual situation there to cause haste on his Journey from the Philippines. It Is possible, it is pointed out. that the German Emperor has changed his plans so as to be in Berlin at the time Mr. Taft originally expected to be there, but no advices to this effect have reached here. The last advices were that Mr. Taft would prolong his visit in the Philippines a week, delaying his arrival at Berlin so as to meet the Emperor, who would be away from the German capital at the time scheduled for Mr. Taft's arril there. Mr. Taft's original plan was to le"ave Manila Monday next. NEW SYSTEM OF FUNDS OREGON STUDENTS CLASH OVER INCIDENTAL FEES.

Several new amendments to the Oregon student-body constitution were adopted vthis morning at a spirited meeting of -.that organiza tion. The most important amendments dealt with the student publications and with oratory and debate, which had not been included in the constitution and by laws up to this time. When the amendment for a new appor tionment of student-body funds among the different branches came up, there was a lively clash between those -interested in departments whose apportion ment was to be cut down and of those whose share was to be increased. The most serious disagreement was between the Glee Club supporters and the back ers of football and track athletics, but everything was finally amicably settled upon the assurance that the new scheme of apportionment was not to take effect until next year. The -new system and the amount each student activity will get is as follows: Football, 20 per cent; track athletics, 20 ber cent: Glee Club, 15 per cent; publi cations, 16 per cent; baseball, 8 per cent; oratory and debate, 5 per cent; basket ball, 4 per cent; treasurer, a per cent, and miscellaneous 10 per cent. .

SUPPORT, NOT CONFIDENCE Beveridge Believes Fairbanks Could Not Be Elected. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington, Oct. 80. One "of the most severe blows that have been dealt the Fairbanks Presidential boom now defunct was ad ministered by Senator Beveridge, of In diana, former colleague of Fairbanks when the latter was United States Sena tor, when he declared that he would con sistently stand by Fairbanks and advo cate his nomination, though he was thor oughly convinced that no man but Roose velt could be elected on the Republican ticket next year. Senator Beveridge no doubt finds him self in an embarrassing position. As an Indlanan, state pride and state loyalty demand that he support Indiana s fa vorite son, as long aa Indiana has a fa vorite son In the race. On the other hand, Beveridge is very friendly with President Roosevelt, and at heart would like to see him renominated. With Fair banks out of the way, Beveridge would be an out and out advocate of the renomlna- tion of the President; but his hands are tied, and he supports a man whom, he publicly admits could not -be elected If nominated. I have given my pledge to support Vice-President Fairbanks," said Bev eridge. "He will have the indorsement of our state, and it is my purpose to stand by him and work for him. At the same time it fs my opinion that William J. Bryan will be our next President unless Mr. Roosevelt Is renominated by the Re publicans." ' Senator Beveridge says-he finds a tre mendous sentiment In favor of the Presi dent's renomination, and the feeling, in stead of diminishing, is increasing as the time for the National convention ap proaches. He says there appears to be a determination on the part of the people to have Roosevelt again, whether he wants it or riot. He is equally convinced that Bryaa will be renominated by the Democrats; in fact, be does not antici pate that the Nebraskan will have any material objection to overcome.

Eccles, who was one of the heaviest holders of the bonds, has brought suit In the Federal Court to determine the rights of the bondholders and miners who hold., labor liens against the property. From the present state of affairs of the company there seems to be no doubt but that the mine will have to be sold to pay the mortgage, and the fight will come between the bondholders and the lien holders to determine who shall have next chance at It. The attorneys for the lien holders have acceded the priority of the mortgage of the bank, but will fight hard to reimburse the merchants who furnished the sppplles and the men who did the work at the mine.
