TIIE MORNING OREGONIAN, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 7, 1908. 13 MANNING NOT IN WAY OF NEW BUNK By Time Directorate of German-American Is Completed Experts to Be Withdrawn. BANK OPENS NEXT WEEK District Attorney I) oca Jfot Propose to Hinder Merger With Oregon Trust or to Delay Depositors Getting Their Money. Another supposed obstacle in the way of the reopening of the Orcson Trust & Savings Bank was removed yesterday when District Attorney Manning made the statement that he would not permit his investigation to delay the consumma tion of the merger of the Oregon Trust and German-American banks. He de clares that the moment the directorate of the new bank Is completed he will with draw his experts from the Oregon Trust's quarters and not hinder the bank's re opening for a moment. This means that the new German American Bank should open for business In the quarters of the old Oregon Trust & Savings Bank not later than the middle of next week. Directors will unduobtedly be selected, in time for their names to be submitted to Judgo Gantenbeln for his approval tomorrow. "When that is done and the contracts signed by the new di rectorate and Receiver Devlin, the doors of the new German-American Bank will reopen, "I am rushing my investigation s rap Idly as possible," said Mr. Manning. "The very day that I receive notice from Mr. Reed that the. new board of directors of the German-American Bank Is ready for the court's approval I will withdraw my experts. My only object Is to sceure for the depositors their money. I have not at any time stood in the way of the reorganization, but have assisted It In every way possible. I deferred investi gation at the earnest solicitation of those In charge of the reorganization and of the depositors. This is the first oppor tunity that I have had to make an In vestigation, but I do not propose that It shall stand In the way of the merger and hinder the depositors in getting their money." President Heed Pleased. When shown the statement of Mr. Manning, S. G. Reed, who will be presi dent of the German-American Bank, said that official's action would greatly hasten the reopening of the bank. He said he would select directors at once, and would probably submit his list to the court tomorrow. Upon the approval of Judge Gantenbein being given the direc torate, the bank will be in a position to open at once. Other preliminaries practically have been completed. Mr. Reed was busy yes terday preparing the contract to be signed by the new directorate and Re ceiver Devlin, providing for the carrying out of the terms of the merger, as set forth In the court's order. This docu ment may possibly be signed by to morrow night or Monday morning. In that event the bank will open the first of next week. Mr. Reed has provided himself with a list of 20 prominent business men of the city from which he is selecting his di rectorate. There will be no trouble In choosing seven names satisfactory to the court from this list. Receiver Dovlln threatens to bring suit against the United Railways Company to force it to return to the bank its share of 46 per cent of the stock and bonds of the railway corporation, which the bank owns. These securities, it is charged, are hold by Herman Witten berg, who is the head, front and center of the United Railways. It Is said they were turned over to Mr. Wittenberg the day before the Oregon Trust & Savings Bank closed by President Moore, when that official was flurried by the critical condition of the bank, and thought he was acting tor the best interests of the Institution In giving up the securities. At that time the bank was trustee for the United Railways. Must Kepay Interest. These securities were in part collateral for a loan of $25,000 made to Mr. Witten berg, with which he purchased his in terest in, the United Railways. Interest coupons on the bonds, amounting to $750, whicn are said to have been clipped, will also be demanded. Mr. Wittenberg was out of the city yes terday, but it is understood he expects to comply with ther receiver's demands, an has already secured claims of de positors in the closed bank that will offset the $25,000 for which he is liable. Mr. Wittenberg is said to have taken President Moore unawares th dnv the bank failed, when he came in greatly excited, according to Mr. Moore, and asked that the Interests of Mr. Moore and Mr. Lytle in the United Railways be as signed to him, else the railway project would fail. Mr. Moore granted his re quest, but it is not believed that this as signment will affect the title to the three sixths of the 92 per cent of the syndicate slock of the United Railways, which is said to be the property of the bank. Title to this Interest in the United Rail ways was acquired through the wish of the bank officials to oblige their friends and finance the railway project. When the United Railways was driving on the rocks and the Southern California pro moters could not handle it, it seemed that the company's bond, deposited with the city, would be sacrificed. At this time Louis J. Wilde and W. Cooper Morris were employed to go to Southern Cali fornia to take up the stocks and bonds of the company in the hands of tike. Cali fomians. For this service the two were to be paid $25,000. They did so and brought back the securities In their traveling bags, but they did not get the 323,000. Syndicate of Six. t This was at the time that a syndicate of .six men, under the management of Herman Wittenberg, was formed. Each was to put In $25,000 and the $50,000 left after the purchase of the stocks and bonds was to be used In building the road. The Southern California holders were paid $100,000. The payment of the $25,000 was to entitle each member of the six to take $25,000 In bonds and one-sixth of the 92 per cent of the $3,000,000 stock In the project. The rest of the bonds were to be left with the bank and sold to raise money for further construction. Money advanced to the bank was to be secured by securities and collateral de posited. The men in the syndicate were Herman Wittenberg, W. Cooper Morris. W. H. Moore. J. M. Healy, B. E. Lytle and the remaining sixth was to have been held by C. H Loss and C. 11. McBrlde, nf California, but they failed to come into the deal. The bank was trustee for the company up to the time Mr. Wittenberg is said to have taken the securities and collateral out of the hands of President Moore, thus leaving the bank with nothing to show for tho money it had advanced to the United Railways. In addition to the securities and collateral Mr. Wittenberg will be asked to replace with the bank, there is an overdraft of $19,000 on the construc tion account of the United Railways that must be made good. LINE UP AS "SUGGESTED" Democrats at Tacoma Act on Con vention Indorsement. TACOMA, Wash.. Feb. S. (Special.) The whole slate of Democratic can didates this afternoon filed declarations of candidacy with the City Clerk, as "suggested" by the recent Democratic city convention, with one exception. He also filed, but not In accord with the other "suggestions." L. F. Ball, who had not been "suggested" by the con vention, named himself with the ticket as candidate for the Council from the Fifth Ward. J. H. Pierenecle, secretary of the Democratic city central committee, says he knew nothing of Mr. Ball's candi dacy and attributed no especial aignifl oance to It. But to politicians generally the double filing has a significance. It shows that there are two factions of Democrats. This Is further made ap parent by the story which is gaining wide circulation that J. J. Anderson, who opposes the present city admin istration, will file a declaration of can didacy for Mayor tomorrow.

FREE TO ACT FOR SHIPPERS West Renounced Candidacy in Order to Be Unhampered. SALEM, Or., Feb. 6. (Special.) In an interview a few days ago. Railroad Com missioner West declared that he will not be a candidate for re-election when his present term expires in 1310. This an nouncement occasioned considerable sur prise among West's friends here, for the position is not only one of honor and op portunity for useful work, but is fairly remunerative, the salary being $4000 a year. Quite naturally West's friends have been Inquiring the reason for his decision. To his close friends Mr. West has ex plained that in his position as a Railroad Commissioner it has frequently been nec essary for him to be aggressively active In securing shippers and passengers fair treatment from the railroad companies, and that representatives of the railroad companies have charged him with "play ing to the galleries" for the purpose of making re-election sure. Mr. West says that by determining at this time not to be again a candidate for the position, he not only removes any possible temptation to consider his own personal interests, but also deprives the railroad companies of the chance to accuse him of acting from Improver motives. West's record in the office of State Land Agent, where he uncovered the state land frauds and where he brought order out of sc chaotic condition, together with his active work on the Railroad Commission, has won him an enviable place In public opinion.

CALL DOWN GOD'S WRATH Order Superintendent of Aid Society to Return Edna Slingerland to Her Foster-parents or Suf fer the Consequences. Because he had a part in the placing of little Edna Slingerland beyond the reach of John Slingerland, her foster parent, who Is a follower of the Tongues of Fire cult. Superintendent Gardner, of the Boys & Girls' Aid Society, is threat ened with a judgment of the Almighty, Just as was Judge Frazer Immediately after he gave the little girl into the cus tody of a reputable farmer's family. Slingerland took pains to telephone Su perintendent Gardner and to ask if he had received the warning, and what he intended to do. As Mr. Gardner was not at home at that time, Slingerland did not receive an answer. The letter of warning purports to have been written by Emma Barton, who fig ured prominently in the Slingerland case when it was on trial. The letter says that Judge Frazer's death was a judg ment from God, and that unless Edna Slingerland Is returned to Slingerland at once, Mr. Gardner will meet a like fate. The letter is dated January 20, and in part reads: "Please bear in mind that I say God commands you to return Edna to her parents. Judge Frazer took her from a people that are true Christians, and their life given up to God, and because they were raising her for Jesus, and Jesus only, the devils In the form of men laid their hands on her and took her from her , Christian home and Christian parent. "A message to you from God, Mr. Gard ner. Please do not do as Judge Frazer did, to have no ear for the message given you by God's people and wake up to the fate of Judge Frazer by the hand of Al mighty God. "Mr. Gardner, I have, a letter in my possession, written by one of God's serv ants, whom God told to write and send to Judge Frazer, warning Mr. Frazer what God would do to him if he did not return Edna to her parents. And as' Mr. Frazer refused to comply with the wishes of God through his servant, God has done exactly by Mr. Frazer as he said he would do. And I am commanded by God to copy the letter and send to you with this one, as a warning to you "Mrs. Emma Barton, 814 Holladay ave nue." The warning to Judge Frazer above re ferred to was written by J. A. Bnrrowes, and is enclosed to Mr. Gardner. It closes as follows: "And every one that seeth or readeth this warning, as well as you, that layeth his hand or tongue upon this our Father's work, or any one of God's chosen ones, great or small, God's anger and judg ment and vengeance shall fall upon their own heads suddenly. And the quicker that you release and take off from the broken hearts the bonds that you are now compelling these people and families and friends to submit under your wicked ness of God's Innocent people, the sooner shall Father lift wrathful-- hands from you, and your anger is great. As I am about to close this epistle to you. Father speaks once more unto me, and says these words. He wants you to return little Edna Slingerland to her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Slingerland.i and do it Im mediately, and never lay your hands on his anointed again. Never, do you un derstand? "This is a message from God Almighty. Understand it. "Written by J. A. Burrowes to Judge Frazer." MAY BE FREE IN ONE MONTH Superintendent of Asylum Talks of Thaw's Chance of Liberty. MATTEAWAN, N. Y., Feb. 6. Dr. Lamb, superintendent of the State Hos pital for the Criminal Insane, said to day that, if after SO days or so It is his belief that Harry K. Thaw is sane, it will be within the province of the hospital authorities' so to certify to the court and recommend hia release. A commission in lunacy or other pro ceedings would not be necessary, he declared. The physicians at the Institution are not making observation of Thaw as yet, as they feel that he has not re covered from, the excitement caused by his recent trial for the murder of Stanford White. He is considered a model prisoner by the physicians and owing to his good behavior he is al lowed certain special privileges. Dr. Britton D. Evans, the alienist, and A. Russell Peabody, of counsel for Thaw, today visited the patient. Be fore seeing Thaw the visitor had a half-hour's conversation with Dr. Lamb. Dr. Evans said he did not come to Matteawan to make an examination of Thaw, but merely because the patient appeared to be cheered up by his visits. That there Is friction among Thaw's counsel over the question of whether an attempt to have him released shall or shall not be made is denied, and it is eal that Evelyn Nesbit Thaw, wife of the patient, has become reconciled to Thaw's remaining in the hospital for the present. It Is said also that it Is unlikely that the members of Thaw's family will visit him frequently at Matteawan. LISTON FUNDS ARE INTACT Cigarettes May Have Led Indian Agent to Suicide. TACOMA, Wash., Feb. 6. (Special.) C. L. Davis, supervisor of Indian agencies, today completed his Investi gation of Agent Liston's office and says 'he cannot And where a single cent of Government money was wrongfully used. Liston was consider ably in debt when he left Tacoma, but this Is a personal matter. Mrs. Liston and Colonel J. J. Anderson, attorney for Liston, believe he has committed suicide. Liston told his wife' two years ago that he feared he was losing his mind, and she believes that cigarettes stole away his mentality, as he was an in veterate smoker. No one has heard from Liston since he left his sick father In Indiana three weeks ago. Hastings Also Confesses Hold-up. BUTTE, Feb. 6. George Hastings, the last of the Clow murder suspects, the trio who held up a Northern Pacific train near Butte last May and murdered en,-ineer Clow, today confessed the crime and was given a life sentence. Hastings was on trial at Boulder. ' Henry Gruber confessed yesterday and SPLENDID HOME RECIPE PRF-SCRIPTIOX WHICH ELDER LY PEOPLE SHOULD VALUE. Promptly Relieves Kidney Troubles and Rheumatism Can Be Mixed at Home. The great majority of men and wom en at the age of 60 yesjrs begin to feel the first signs of advancing age in some form of kidney trouble and blad der weakness. Few are entirely free from that torturous disease, rheuma tism, which is not a disease in Itself, but a symptom of deranged function of the kidneys which have become clogged and sluggish, failing In their duty of sifting and straining the pol Ronous waste matter, uric acid, eto., from the blood, permitting it to re main and decompose, settling about the joints and muscles, causing intense pain and suffering. The bladder, however, causes the old folks the most annoyance, especially at night and early morning. A noted authority in a recent article stated that he has wonderful success with the old-time "vegetable treat ment." He states: "Of sixteen cases of bladder troubles and rheumatism which have been treated with this treatment only one very complicated case failed to fully yield to its remarkable Influ ence. It is the most harmless treat ment I have ever found to clean the system of rheumatic poisons; remove irritation of the bladder and relieve urinary difficulties of the old people. It is a true vitalizing tonic to the en tire kidney and urinary structure, re invigorating the entire system." What he terms "old vegetable treat ment" consists of the following simple prescription, the ingredients of which can be obtained from any good, phar macy at small cost: Compound Kargon. one ounce; Fluid Extract Dandelion, one-half ounce: Compound Syrup Sar saparilla, three ounces. Shake well in a bottle and take in teaspoonful doses after each meal and upon going to bed, also drink rtlentv of water. This prescription, though simple. Is always effective in the diseases and af flictions of the kidneys and bladder. George Towers was sent to the penitenti ary for 99 years last week. DAII.T METBOROLOGICAIi REPORT. PORTLAND, Fab. 6.
