THE BIOKXING OREGOMAN, rUESDAY, DECE3IBER . 10, 1907. .c. TREASURER STEEL SEEKS NEW BOND INTERIOR OF CHICAGO COLISEUM Will Act for Surety Co. and State in Bank Inquiry. 13 BRISTQLNAMED Must Raise $600,000 Security for State Funds Within Twenty Days. FAILING, HE MAY LOSE JOB Law Provides That I.egnl Proceed N ings May Be Taken Against Offi cial for Malfeasance or Negli gence Old Bond Canceled. State Treasurer Steel yesterday be gan the task of raising new bonds to the amount of $600,000 demanded of him by Governor Chamberlain. Mr. Steel has been given 20 days to file ap proved bonds In that amount. Failing to present to the Governor the re quired security for state funds in his possession within the prescribed time, he will be delinquent in one of his offi cial duties and may be proceeded against by law. These new bonds are to replace those formerly furnished that official by the American Surety Company and which were cancelled Saturday when that company arranged to settle with the state in full its claims against the State Treasurer for state funds de posited In the Merchants National and the Title Guarantee & Trust Company banks. Since the surety company has de clined longer to carry Mr. Steel, he will be obliged, It is understood, to pro cure personal bondsmen. Other than to say he apprehends no trouble in raising the new bonds that have been required, Mr. Steel has nothing to an nounce. Ho spent yesterday in his home county, Clackamas, presumably in the interesc of obtaining a part of the security he must ruise. It is con sidered no small undertaking for a man to raise $630,000 of bonds In a period of 20 days an average of $30,000 a day, including Sundays and legal holidays but that Is the feat imposed on Mr. Steel by the fortunes or misfortunes of political life. I May Look to Political Friends. A discussion of Mr. Steel's dilemma suggests two sources from which he may succeed in securing the necessary bondsmen. It will be recalled that in the primary nominating election in the Spring of 1906, Mr. Steel was the only one of several Republican aspirants for the office of State Treasurer who did not pledge himself unqualifiedly to re turn to the treasury the earnings of all state funds on deposit. His nomination by large majority was considered proof of resourceful political strength to which he may now look for assist ance without disappointment. Again It is rumored that the bankers in differ ent sections of the state may feel dis posed to come forward and collectively supply tlie heavy bond. Under the law authorizing the loaning of state funds, properly protected by adequate securi ties. Mr. steel has distributed several hundred thousand dollars of state money among the banks throughout the state. It is pointed out the bank ers could at this time very graciously assist the state's loan agent. Computing the 20 days from last Satur day,. Mr. Steel has until December 2S to complete the bond and Hie it with the Sovernor. An interesting question has arisen as to what would be the method of procedure should Mr. Steel fall to give, the bond that haf been required. In demanding the additional security of the State Treasurer the Governor Is acting clearly within the aw, which contains the following pro vision under the caption "Additional Bond May Be Required of Treasurer": Slate Law on Treasurer's Bond. Section 2413. Whenever the funds in the Treasury exceed three-fourths the amount of :he Treasurer' bond, or whenever the Gov rnor deems such bond insufficient from any rause. he shall require the Treasurer to give in additional bond within such time, In euch reaonable amount, and with such security, u he shall direct and approve. Failure on the part of Mr. Steel to fur nish new bonds would undoubtedly be considered by the Governor a failure or refusal by the Treasurer to fulfill a part of Ills official duty. The question would then arise as to what form of punishment Is provided in the statutes for what would dearly constitute official delinquency. On t Ills subject article 7. section 13. of he state constitution, covering ''Official De linquencies.' says: Public .jfflcers shall not be Impeached: but incompetency, corruption, malfeasance, or de linquency In office may be tried In the same manner as criminal offenses, and Judgment may be clven of dismissal from office, and turn further punishment as may have been prescribed by law. Malfeasance or Negligence. Supplemental, however, to this consti tutional provision Is a state law on "Mal feasance or Negligence In Office," under which the delinquency might be punished. This statute reads as follows: Section 1802 If any officer of this state, or any county, town, or other municipal cor poration therein, other than the Governor. Justices of the Supreme Court, or members uf the legislative assembly, shall wilfully and knowingly charge, take or receive any fee or compensation other than that author ised or permitted by law. for any official service or duty performed by such officer, or shall wilfully neglect or refuse to perform any duty or service pertaining to his office, with Intent to injure or defraud any one, or shall wilfully neglect or refuse to perform such duty or service to the Injury of any one. or the manifest hindrance or obstruc tion of public Justice or business, whether luch Injury, hindrance or obstruction was particularly Intended or not.' such officer, upon conviction thereof, shall be punished . by imprisonment In the penitentiary not less than six months nor more than one year, or by Imprisonment In the county jail not less than three months nor more than one year, or by a fine of not less than $50 nor more than $300. or by dismissal from office with or without either or any of uch punishments. If It became necessary to resort to this law to punish this particular Instance of official delinquency, a complaint would nave to be Issued and the case tried out in the circuit court. From tbe verdict of the lury the accused official would learn of hla sxpulalon from public office. ALL FURSREDUCED.

OUTLOOK SAID TO BE GOOD Promising Prospect, According to Receiver, That Title Guarantee & Trust Company Will Even tually Pay in Full. Receiver George H. Hill, of the Title Guarantee & Trust Company, will file his report On the condition of the defunct bank this morning with Judge Wolverton in Federal Court. He has completed the statement he will submit to the court showing just what the status of the bank is and of what the assets and liabilities consist. "1 believe the bank will pay out in full," said Receiver Hill last night. "At any rate the outcome will be much bet ter than people think after having read what has been published about the bank In the papers. The bank will undoubt edly pay dollar for dollar unless the real estate market and practically every thing else goes to smash, which seems very unlikely. If that happened, it would be "difficult to realize fully on our bills receivable and that would, of course, make the payment of the bank's cred itors difficult. "Assets of the bank are over J3.000.000. Deposits are approximately $2,000,000. Careful administration of the bank's af fairs and the proper disposition of the assets should pay off the claims against the bank in full. Of course, this very desirable ending depends a good deal upon real estate and other conditions but there is every reason to believe that everything will terminate satisfactorily. "Now that the report has been com pleted, a vigorous campaign of collec tion of outstanding accounts will be started. It is not our intention to be harsh with debtors and we will no.t crowd them unduly but bills receivable will be realized upon just as fast as Is consist ent with the best interests of the bank." The savings account have been guar anteed by W. M. Ladd in a statement made some time ago. Trust runds are also secured for the trust accounts are the preferred creditors. The largest creditor of the. bank is the banking firm of Iadd & Tiltoii, whose claim amounts to about J600.000. Second in size to this account is that of the American Surety Company, whose payment of the state's deposit in the bank makes that firm a creditor to the amount of J3SO.OO0. The trust funds are provided for as these accounts were filed a few days be fore the bank closed its doors. Among the best assets of the closed bank are the Marquam building and the Commer cial block, while real estate held by various holding companies Is valuable and may be converted into cash without loss. GAMBLING RAIDS CEASE i Chinese Appear to Be Enjoying Sea son of Immunity. For the past four days no Chinese gam bling raids have been made by fne police. "Whether this lethargy on the part of the minions can be ascribed to Attorney Dan Malarkey's policy of demanding separate jury trial for each of the accused, or to the absence of Detective Tom Kay, the leader of the Chinatown squad, remains to be guessed, but the fact remains that since Friday night none of the Celestial gamblers have been taken to the station. The trial of Ah Jew, another of the bunch of 30 gamblers caught by De-teetlve Sergeant Baty and Detectives Price and Coleman on the night of November 28 will be held today in the Municipal Court. Malarkey will go ahead with his policy of demanding jury trials, and according to law this request must be granted. Persons acquainted with police circles give this move of Mr. Malarkey's as the real cause of the sudden lull in gambling raids. It is a well-known fact, in police circles that an officer does not care to at tend court, for. outside of the lo.s of time and annoyance in the grillings which officers are usually given by lawyers for the defense, attendance in court means that the officer's time off duty is broken up. For this reason, it is surmised by a great many persons intimate with the workings of the department that the raid ing has ceased. Detective Kay's absence may have something to do with the lull. Kay Is well acquainted with the wily manners of the Chinese, and during the time that he has had charge of Chinatown he has done more to break up gambling than any other officer. Six Hives of Bees Are Robber's Loot Thief Invades Premises of G. Gross and Carries Away His Bees and Their Produce. ICTUXG:" might have been the dls O gusted comment of G. Grass, of 794 Bast Fourteenth street, when he discov ered yesterday that someone had carried away his six hives of bees, leaving not even a drop of honey behind. When Mr. Grass went out to his aviary yesterday, intending to pry oft the lid of one of the hives and extract a dripping comb of con densed sweetness. It was to find hives, bees and honey missing. After conducting a "rigid" investigation of the neighborhood (all investigations are rigid) and finding nobody who had seen a stray queen bee. to say nothing of any number of just plain, common-people bees, it occurred to Mr. Grass that the police, who are often said to be drones, might be able to locate the missing honey. The police have been asked to find straying dogs, stolen wives and any num ber of odd things, for it is on record that a thief once stole a red-hot stove, but this is the first known instance of the police department being routed out to search for bee-stealers. Anyhow, two de tectives took the trail armed with micro scopes. Their plan of campaign is to go over the bare skin of each member of a gang of small boys of the neighborhood, who Is suspected In the hope of finding traces of the hives. SIGNAL STATION HELD UP Cape Hancock Will Have to Await ' i Action by Congress. That the Weather Bureau at Washing ton has no authority to establish a new signal station at Cape Hancock, and that an appropriation for that purpose will have to be secured from Congress, Js the information conveyed by a letter "eceived recently by Edward W. Beals, in charge of the local Weather Bureau. The communication is from Willis S. Moore, Chief of the United States Weather Bureau at Washington. Under the appropriation bill passed by Congress last Winter the authority to establish new stations was eliminated. In order to provide for the station at Cape Han cock it will now be necessary to bring the matter to the attention of Oregon's delegation In Congress, which the local Chamber of Commerce Is arranging to do. Mr. Moore's letter is as follows: "In answer to your letter of the 23d Instant, relative to the establishing of another station at Cape Hancock or Fort Canby. permit me to say that the Weather Bureau has no authority under the present law to establish additional stations or to construct additional build ings, and the estimates forwarded by the secretary to the appropriation committee of Congress do not provide for addi tional stations or buildings for the next fiscal year. The authority to establish additional stations was eliminated from the appropriation bill by Congress last Winter." " Aer Hatchery Site. ASTORIA, Or., Dec. 9. (Special.) Fish Warden Van Dusen Is negotiating with the Portland Railway. Tight & Power Company for the purchase of a tract of land below the company's dam in the Clackamas River near Cazadero on which to establish a salmon hatchery. During the past season the state fisheries depart ment maintained a station at that point, securing 2.500.000 Chinook eggs. During the past few weeks thousands of silver sides have gone over the Cazadero dam through the new fishery and to the natural spawning grounds In the upper river. Robbers Beat Woman.

HOLIDAYS HOLD UP .WORK As Soon as Ended Provision Will Be Made for Carrying Out Large Number of Projects Con tractors Suffer. A special meeting of the City Coun cil will be held, probibly one week from tomorrow, as now intended, to set in motion the machinery for clear ing up improvements approximating 8300,000, and to give attention to other Important matters that have been tied up during the bank holidays. Urgent business demands a session of the body at the earliest practicable time, but there must be some delay in order to give the public opportunity to file re monstrances against proposed work. An immense volume of business has been tied up during the legal Irolidays. mostly improvement work. This cre ated what was considered a most seri ous situation last week, when City Attorney Kavanaugh called together the heads of the various municipal de partments in a conference to devise a means of relief. Contractors, he stat ed, were facing bankruptcy, and must have some of the money due them for city work; but on that date Governor Chamberlain announced that the bank holidays would be lifted December 14. and no action was taken at the meet ing. City Auditor Barbur, during the holi days, has had his office force at work clearing up all business that had ac cumulated, and he said yesterday that everything is In jreadlness, so far aa he is concerned.'lo start tho great bulk of improvement work the minute Governor Chamberlain lifts the ban. While the legal holidays are to be ended Saturday, December 14, It Is thought wise by Mayor I.ane and other city officials to postpone the special Council meeting until Wednesday, D ccmber 16, as this will give opportunity for remonstrances against proposed as sessments for improvements through out the city, should there be any who wish to file such. .

"Fully two-thirds of the Alaskans de mand a territorial form of government," said Leroy Tozier, a lawyer of Fairbanks, at the Oregon last night. "As a better means of presenting our claims to Con gress, the residents of this territory are organizing themselves into political par ties and in that way hope to gain self government more quickly than through lack of organized effort. "In opposing ' territorial government Governqr Hoggatt does not voice the wishes of more than one-third of its in habitants. Pre-sldent Roosevelt has a better conception of our wants than our own Governor will confess. In his mes sage to Congress the President recom mends a legislative branch for the gov ernment of Alaska as declared for in the platform adopted at the Republican con vention held at Juneau November 14 last. At tMs convention delegates from two of the three Judicial districts, of which Nome and Fairbanks are the principal cities, combined and declared for a com plete territorial form of government, whereupon Governor Hoggatt and his as sociates bolted the convention. which proceeded to elect Judge James L. Wick ersham a delegate to the Republican Na tional convention. "The chairman of the Republican con vention has isssued a call for another meeting to be held at Ketchikan next M-ay. when a delegate will be nominated to succeed Thomas Cale, our present del egate to Congress. The people of the territory are now complaining seriously against the practice of permitting the Judges, who are appointive by the Presi dent, tn turn to appoint commissioners and to regulate the liquor traffic. These matters will probably be taken up at this session of Congress and amended to sat isfy the people. "While I am not sure the time has ar rived that we should have an unre stricted territorial form of government, still I believe we should be provided with some legislative body in wh.ich we can enact at least a part of our own laws. Alaska has a population of 60.000, or more than that of Nevada when that territory was admitted to statehood. We are not as remote as some of the non-contiguous dependencies which are allowed a legis lative form of government. In view of these facts, we cannot but feel that when our position and our needs are better understood. Congress will grant our ap peals for self-government." Mr. Tosier Is a native of Portland and has - been in the Interior of Alaska, since 1897. In the practice of law a Fair banks he is associated with Albert R. Heilig, a brother of Calvin Hollig. Mr. Tozier firmly believes that with a slight effort through its commercial organiza tions Portland can get a large part of the Alaskan trade. He considers that it Ls a mistake for them to pay all of their attention to markets more convenient of access when such a resourceful field is offered to the North.

CLOSE SCRUTINY PROMISED Searchlight on Title Guarantee & Trust Company's Acts Treasurer Steel's Personal Bond of $50, 000 . Remains in Effect- It Is doubly certain that If there were , any fraudulent transactions in connection with the management of the Title Guar antee & Trust Company, the guilty per sons will be prosecuted. In addition to the investigation that is being conducted by District Attorney Manning, who is gathering some strong evidence in sup port of the indictment charging the of ficers of the bank with receiving deposits when' they knew the Institution to be In solvent, United States Attorney Bristol, who has been retained as special coun sel by the American Surety Company, the largest individual creditor of the sus pended bank, will also make an examina tion of its administration. "Having Just been appointed to looK after the interests of the American Sure ty Company, I am not prepared at this time to make any statement other than to say I propose to investigate the af fairs of the bank closely, and will pro ceed on the facts as 1 find them," said Mr. Bristol yesterday. "I do not know what the condition of the bank is but that will be the purpose of the examina tion I shall make, until that 1b done I will not be In a position to announce what will follow." Last Saturday when the American Surety Company agreed to reimburse the state for nearly J400.000 that had been de posited with the Title Guarantee & Trust Company, the state not only surrendered to the bonding company all of the se;- curlties and other collateral it had re celved from the bank together with all other rights it might have had to appear In the courts, but it also appointed and empowered Mr. Bristol special attorney for the surety company with the right to bring suit either in the name of the state or that of the company in what ever litigation might be found necessary to bring against the bank and Its of ficers. With this authority Mr. Bristol is doubly fortified to make such lnves tlgations and to conduct such prosecu tions he may conclude. That he will ex ercise every right vested in him by the state goes without question in view of the announcement by F. W. Lafrentz, controller for the American Surety Com pany who has declared that it is the policy of his company to bring to ac count those guilty of questionable bank ing methods, particularly when the com pany sustains a loss of several thousand dollars as will probably prove the case In that of the suspended Portland bank, At the conference between the state of ficials and the representatives of the surety company Saturday, when the claims of the state were satisfied in full, the men who executed the first bond of $50,000, and by which State Treasurer Steel qualified for the office he holds, re fused to participate in the proceedings or to assume any part of the liability of the principal. As a result this bond, while it Is not recognized by Governor Cham berlain, remains in force and effect. It was not included among the assets that were turned over by the state to the surety company in consideration of its full settlement of all claims. This bond was executed and filed with Governor Chamberlain at Salem In July, 1906, and Is signed by J. Thorburn Ross, Louis G. Clarke, J. H. Peterson, J. W. Cook, M. B. Rankin and Wallace McCamant. Mr. Bristol will begin an immediate In vestigation . of the character of the secu rities and other collateral the security company holds against the bank. He would not indicate yesterday the details of his proposed examination of the bank and its records but If there Is discovered anything crooked, it is safe to predict that severe action will be taken. Surety companies do not make a practice of paying claims of nearly $300,000 In one lump without making effort either to be reimbursed or to punish those who are responsible for inflicting such a heavy loss. PAY "HOLDBACKS" IX DRIBS Depositors' Association Will Peti tion Court for Order. Depositors In the Oregon Trust & Sav ings Bank who have participated in the reorganization plan have asked President Day of the Depositors' Association to call a meeting and frame a petition to the court asking that those depositors who have not signed for telephone bonds, bank stock or certificates of deposit. In lieu of a part of their deposits in the bank, be paid from the funds of the bank in small installments. It Is suggested that these payments be from 3 to 5 per cent each month of the -total amount on de posit. This petition Is provisional upon the reorganization being successful through this disposition of deposits not yet subscribed. The depositors who have helped in the reorganization plan represent nine-tenths of the whole body of creditors. This plan will give the bank a little time to realize on its securities so that can pay the demands upon it. It is felt that those who have not cared to take bonds or bank stock should aid the reorganiza tion In some way and hope is entertained that the court will make such an order as is in accordance with Justice. The executive board of the Depositors' Association will meet within the next few days and will consider the calling of this meeting and the drafting of such a peti tion.
