Clearing House Undecided as to Oregon Trust Debts. VARIOUS PLANS DISCUSSED Scheme Most Favored Is Said to Be T,oan of S&00.000 to Directors of German-American Bank Personally Guaranteed. Whether the Portland Charing Hou. Association wi it agrree to advance the $300,000 necessary to pay off the unpaid depositors of the defunct Oregon Trust Ac- Savings Bank, and thereby wind up The receivership of Thomas C- Devlin and retire the name of the bank wreclc from a page of unpleasant banking history in this city, still remains an un settled question. It was expected in banking circles that at the annual meeting of the Clearing House held yesterday after noon some plan would be adopted which would insure the payment of these claims through the Clearing House. No definite plan was determined upon, however. That the members of the Clearing House look with favor upon some plan, the nature of which they will not re veal at present, is regarded as cer tain. President Barnes, of the Clearing House, fii id after the meeting had ad 1 Jonrned: "We are not absolutely sure that we will finance this deal, or, on the other hand, we are not sure that we will not. We have determined upon nothing. The matter was discussed only form ally today, and will be taken up again. We have hopes that the matter will be adjusted so that the Oregon Trust & Savings Bank claims will be paid i through the association. but as the matter has not yet progressed further than our discussion of it and nothing has been decided upon. It is impossible to make any statement at the present time as to what the action of the asso ciation will be." As the time set by the Circuit Court for the liquidation of the outstanding claims against the Oregon Trust & Sav ings: Bank by the German-American Bank, which acted as a guarantor of these claims when it took over the as sets of the defunct bank, is rapidly drawing near, only 10 more days re maining, it is certain some definite plan of action will be announced by the Clearing House Association or by the officials of the German-American Bank within a few days. That President Reed and his associate directors of the German-American are willing to put up their personal resources to insure the successful completion of the German-American contract is admitted by friends of these directors and one of the plans under the consideration of the members of the clearing-house is said to be that the $300,000 involved in the old bank's accounts be lent personally to the directors of the German -American, who will advance securities to guarantee the loan. The committee appointed by the clearing-house to investigate the proposition under consideration by the association rendered a report yesterday afternoon. What the nature of this report was could not be- ascertained, but rumors which cir culated about the financial district after the meeting had adjourned had it that the committee had reported with favor upon the plan of making personal loans to the directors of the Germ an-American. This could not be verified. Inasmuch as the majority of the stock holders of t he German-Ame rican Ban k were unpaid depositors of the Oregon Trust & Savi ngs Ban k who accepted stock In the Germ an-American Bank as a settlement of their claims it is not regarded probable that any plan will be ultimately advanced by the clearing house which will tend to jeopardize their interests. BLOW TERMINATES TRIAL Verbal Agreement of Attorneys Causes Difference in Court. .tienry McGinn and J. M. Long, act ing as opposing counsel in a. suit before Justice Bell yesterday morning, en gaged In a dispute which ended in a blow being delivered by Mr. McGinn and the abrupt termination of the case. Mr. McGinn represented Nellie Sayre Peiffer, who recently was divorced from her husband. She had brougnt suit against her father-in-law, Albert J. Peiffer, for the recovery of some household goods which she asserted had been given to her by her husband as part of the settlement at the time of their divorce. The case depended upon the testi mony of the attorneys. Mr. McGinn and Ralph Citron represented Mrs. Peiffer and Mr. Long appeared for Mr. Peiffer. The agreement about the fur niture had been verbal between the at torneys. When the case was called Mr. McGinn maintained that the agreement hau oeen made that Mrs. Peiffer was to have possession of the goods. Mr. Long asserted otherwise. v the conclusion of a dispute over this Mr. McGinn remarked that the next time he had any agreements with Mr. Long he would require Mr. Long to put them in writing. After some further exchange of words Mr. McGinn is said to have stated that he would not believe Mr. Long under oath and to have followed hia remark by a blow. It is said also that both attorneys afterward sent apologies to Justice Bell.

BIG TRANSFERS FILED FEBRUARY' REALiTST SI ARRET ' STARTS OFF WITH RUSH. Total of Over $500,000 Carried In Deals Recorded on First of Month. February started out at a fast gait in the recording of real estate transfers, four large deeds being filed yesterday to record sales made recently. One of these was a deed for $250,000 and transferred, the 50xl00-foot lot at the northeast corner of Fifth and Morrison street from Peter W. Severson to M. G. Thorsen and C F Hen dricksen, of the Scandinavian-American Bank, purchasers of the property. The deed was 'filed by Charles J. Schnabel. Another big deed waa for $200,009 and transferred the 60x125 feet at the south cast corner of Seventh arid Alder streets to the College - Endowment Association and Abe Tichner.

All these properties were purchased as prospective sites for large buildings to be erected, two at least of which will be built this year. Charles B. Moores, of Portland, to day declined the presidency of the Wil lamette Valley Chautauqua Assembly, to which he was elected last week. Mr. Moores. who formerly was Speaker of the House in the Oregon Legislature anti later was Register of the Oregon City Land Office, said in a letter to H. E. Cross that he was under the care of a physician and that hie health would not permit his acceptance. CORPORATIONS OFF ROLLS Xumber of Tax Delinquents in Wash ington State Is 15,000. OLYMPIA, Wash., Feb. 1. (Special.) About 15,000 corporations, now delin quent in their annual tax, will be stricken from the records in the office of Secretary of State I. M. Howell on February 23. Attorney-General W. P. Bell says, in an opinion, that any method that How ell decides to adopt will be sufficient to strike off the names. Howell wants to simply mark -the index record to show that the license has been can celled, and the Attorney-General says that this is sufficient. Chaalanqaa Presidency Declined. OREGON CITY, Or..
