OIE MORNING OREGONIAN, TITPIISD AT, MARCH 24, 1910. 3 YEARS ATTORNEY, IS Lawyer Buckley Admits Huge Profits of Practice for In surance Companies. BRIBERY NOT YET SHOWN Attorney Induced to Tell How He Stepped From Position in State Insurance Department to More Lucrative Work. EW YORK. March 23. Although Wil liam H. Hotchkiss, state Superintendent of Insurance, was still unable to uncover positive proof that money was used to buy votes at Albany in connection with the fire insurance legislation, he developed some interesting facts at today's session of the inquiry In regard to the work of W. H. Buckley. Buckley is a lawyer of Albany, who started his practice in 1901. Three years later, according to testimony,, he was getting about $30,000 a year from insur ance companies for his legal services. Before he was admitted to the bar Buckley was connected with the state Insurance department. From 1S93 to 1896 he was a clerk in the department, and until 1901 he was third deputy. While he was deputy superintendent, according to his testimony today, he obtained three loans amounting to J61.000 from the iPhenix Fir Insurance Company of Brooklyn, when the late George Sheldon, for years the legislative agent for the Are insurance company at Albany, was president. For just such loans as these, Hhnldon Was . deposed from his corn- pany several months ago, was indicted and died a broken-hearted man at Green wich, Conn., without being brought to trial. Service Xot Definite. Buckley found it profitable to repre sent the fire insurance companies, but he testified today he never appeared in court for them: never went before legislative committees; in fact, he could not remember just what he had done. He could only say that in a general way he acted as counsel for the com panies and had kept no record what ever of any transaction. He was under annual retainer from several companies. In 190 he received between 25,000 end J30.000. of which about $15,000 was from the foreign insurance companies, according to evidence produced. He also received various large sums from domestic concerns. This was in the year the Grady reinsurance bill, bene fiting foreign reinsurance companies by reducing the amount of their re serve, was passed. Embarrassing Question Evaded. The domestic companies were oppos ing the bill and Mr. Hotchkiss asked the witness if he was not getting money from both sides. Buckley had no opinion on the subject. He would not even ad mit that any of the money paid to him was in connection with the bill. He said ho knew little about the bill, and when Mr. Hotchkiss asked him if he had paid any money to legislators, he said, "That's absurd. No. sir." Preceding Buckley. Carl Schrelner, United States manager of the Munich Keinsurance Company, and Carl Stur hahn, American manager of the Prus sia Insurance Company, were on the stand. They told of payments to Buck ley by their companies of various sums during a number of years. FIGURES JUGGLED EXPERT (Continued From First Page.) testified that the bank was insolvent. In the forenoon a lively tilt between Deputy District Attorney Fitzgerald and Attor ney Fulton over the admissibility of the testimony of Mr. Phaier took place. The wrangle brought out the contentions of the prosecution and of the defense as to what constituted insolvency technically. The prosecution contended that insol vency consisted in the inability of a per son or corporation to meet liabilities as they fell due in the ordinary course of business, reasonable delays being ex cepted. Attorney Fitzgerald argued - that if the depositors had really known the condition of affairs as they really ex isted In the bank they would not have deposited their money with it. He cited authorities to show that silence as to these facus on the part, of the bank's of ficials made them guilty of nothing more or leas than fraud. The prosecutor quoted the law to show that a man was not expected to put his bands in bis pockets at a moment's no tice and pay all his debts but that, he must be able to do so in the ordinary course of business time as these obliga tions fell due. A man who owned prop erty, he contended, might place upon it a valuation more than sufficient to pay jff his obligations but if, in the. ordinary course of business, he was unable to realize his valuation on the property, he was insolvent. In support of this con tention he cited a decision of the Su preme Court of Iowa. Private Fortune as Prop. Attorney Fulton argued that in determ ining whether he considered the bank in solvent. Moore had the right to consider his moral obligation to stand behind the bank with his entire private fortune. As long as Moore considered that his fortune was behind the bank and that he could call upon it, said the attorney, he might not feel that the institution was insolvent. He cited a decision in Wis consin supporting this contention In parti He defined insolvency as being merely a defect of assets to meet liabilities, not when the assets are put up at forced sale as when they are placed into the hands of a receiver or at auction, but when disposed of after the manner ob served by ordinarily prudent men in the administration of their own private af fairs. He then cited a simile of Insol vency in the limited sense and in the general sense. From his argument it appeared that he deemed the Oregon Trust was Insolvent only in the limited sense. The exhibition of charts by Mr. Rich ardson in explaining book entries was objected to by Attorney Fulton. The ob jection was overruled by Judge Bronaugh, who held they represented entries taken from the bank's books which had already been Introduced into evidence. In quali fying as an expert Mr. Richardson testi fied that he had passed examinations be fore 'several state boards and had for merly been a traveling auditor for the American Tobacco Company. He had INCOME S3Q 0 examined several banks prior to his in vestigation of the Oregon Trust & Sav ings Bank, he said. Note 'Withdrawal Explained. The first transaction gone into was the withdrawal of two notes amounting to $35,000. On December 15, 1906, the bank accepted the note of E. E. Lytic one of the directors, for $35,000 in payment for stock. At the same time, it was testified. Moore's note for $25,000 and one by Morris for $10,000 were withdrawn the entry of Ly tie's note balancing the withdrawal of the Moore and Morris notes on the books. By this transaction, said the expert, the personal Indebtedness of Moore and Mor ris to the bank had been reduced corre spondingly. In explanation Of the withdrawal of the two other notes of $25,000 each, one attrlbtued to Moore and the other to Morris, on which the mystery of the dis appearance of $50,000 in cash hangs, he said one of these notes had been with drawn August 24. 1906, and another August 27. 1908. In the withdrawal of the two notes, he said, Moore and Morris increased their cash account by $50,000 and carried an item as though that much cash .had been received actually in the back both on the teller's blotter and on the cash account of the general ledger. These entries were carried along until December 15, said Mr. Richardson, when, to reconcile the entry of cash, a fictitious slip marked "O. D. Us. F. T.," supposed to represent "Overdraft Us Paying Tel ler," was filed. Cash Entry Denied. A complete analysis of the books in cluding the credit and debit slips and also the report from the clearing-house showing the movement of cash in and out of the bank on December 15 and other days proved conclusively, lie said, that no cash transaction had occurred. This entry, he testified, had been made delib erately to wipe out the withdrawals of the two notes made six months prior to December. Mr. Richardson then referred to the ledger and declared its figures show that th bank, after It had taken the word "Trust" into its title, had spent in running expenses $65,000 more than it had earned in interest and other sources of income. He also said the accounts showed that some of toe ex penses were transferred, on the books to the ''loan and discounts" oolumn and carried as an asset Instead of an ex pense. Items of expense carried on separate accounts as "New Building." "Home Safe Account," "Furniture and Fixtures," "Savings Banks Account." and an item of unexplained expense, the total amounting to $84,000, were transferred to the '.'loans .and dis counts" account where they appeared as an asset. Every Item, Traced. Mr. Richardson took each item on the bank's books and in nearly every case analyzed the entries, going back to. the original slips from which they were placed on the bank's books and which were offered In evidence in the trial. At the close of the day he had not finished his testimony, the state reserving the right to recall him. The first witness of the day was A. B. Mason a clerk in the bank who assisted T. C. Phaier in some of his work. He testified that the statement or schedule of the valuations placed on the assets found in the bank had been made jointly by Mr. Phaier and Mr. Moore. When the prosecution endeavored to call Mr. Phaier as a witness to testify as an expert on the valuation of the bSnks assets and on its condition of insolvency the defense objected. Mr. Fulton main tained that Mr. Phaier was not competent to fix the value of the securities and that his testimony should be confined to the computation of figures on the bank's books. Judge Bronaugh overruled the objec tion of Attorney Fulton and the witness was allowed to proceed. He said he had made a thorough Investigation into the notes and other assets of the bank and felt fully qualified to testify as to its condition. He rated the institution as unquestionably Insolvent. Medford Citizens to Testify Here. MEDPORD, Or.. March 23. (Special.) Attorney B. F. Withington, J. F. Reddy and E.

CITY BOOKS NOW GUARDED Springfield to Catch Those Who Tamper Wtlh Records. SPRINGFIELD. Or., March 23. (Spe cial.) As the result of numerous in stances recently where the city records have been tampered with and parts even removed, the City Council last night passed an ordinance against molesting the city's books and placed for violation thereof the maximum penalty allowed to be imposed by the city, which is up to $200 fine or 100 days' imprisonment or both. There Is a city ordinance that re quires the keeping of all the records open to the public: this has been often taken advantage of and especially this Winter when several valuable papers and ordinances have been Btolen. The heavy penalty, it Is thought, will prevent this. Another ordinance, passed last night, instructed the Recorder to purchase -for something lees than $200 an iron safe that has been selected to protect the city records.

City Attorney Grant Corby and Polltax Collector Robert Halley today began a crusade for the collection of the road polltax of several hundred delinquents.

WASHINGTON, March 23. The bill terminating the present lease of the fur seal killing on the Pribyloff Islands In the Pacific, and authorizing the Sec retary of Commerce and Labor to de clare ' a closed season on the islands, was passed by the Senate today. In presenting the bill from the com mittee on conservation of natural re sources. Senator Dixon, of Montana, ex plained the mandatory existing law re quiring the leasing of the sealing priv ilege .and said immediate action was necessary, because of the fact that the lease expired next month. He said the herd had diminished from 4,500,000 in 1867, when the United States acquired the islands, to fewer than' 100,000 at the present time, and that It was the opinion of experts that unless the seals were protected, they would be exter minated within two or three years. On motion of Senator Root the bill was so amended as to make the -disposition of sealskins subject to" any treaty governing the question which might be negotiated in the future. A treaty is. pending to this end, and Mr. Root expressed the opinion that its acceptance would prove to be neces sary for the adequate protection of the seals.

OREGON I AM TCEWS BUREAU, Wash ington, March 23. Land Commissioner Ross and Attorney -General Bell, of Wash ington, arrived today to secure adjust ment of various state land matters be fore the Interior Department and before Congress. Primarily they want the Interior De partment to recognize their claim that title to all school sections in forest re serves, whether surveyed or unsurveyed, now rests in the State of Washington. That conceded, they will urge legislation authorizing the state to relinquish its scattering school sections to the Gov ernment and to take in lieu thereof an equal area of land on the outskirts of the reservations in compact bodies. They are opposed to the provision of the pend ing bill which stipulates that land so taken shall be of like kind and value as those relinquished. State officials are also desirous that steps be taken to insure to the state sec tions 16 and 36 or their equivalent, on all Indian reservations that remain. They assert that under the regulations of the department the state will get no school lands on the Spokane reservations, though it was the intent of the law open ing the reservation that such lands should be purchased by. the Government and turned over to the state without cost. There are also questions affecting Gov ernment irrigation work in the Yakima Valley, which they desire to have adjusted. ENCAMPMENT DATES ARE SET Oregon Troops Go to American Lake August 8 to 19.

LAFEAN BILL DOOMED OREGON APPLEGROWERS' IN TEREST SEES ITS DEFEAT. President Newell, of Oregon Board of Horticulture. Returns From Congressional Inquiry Meet. W. K. Newell, president of the State Board of Horticulture. expresses the greatest confidence in the defeat of the Lafean bill, concerning the size and shape of apple boxes, now pending before Con gress. Mr. Newell appeared before the Congressional committee, having the bill in charge at three hearings. He is now at his home at Gaston. The office of the State Horticultural Board in the Henry building was yester day in charge of Secretary Williamson, who said : "Mr. Nerwell has not been in the city, going directly to his home to rest from the fatigue incident to the journey to Washington and the work before the com mittee, by laboring In his orchard. "He has been in communication with this office by telephone, and stated that there was no reason to think that Con gress would adopt the Lafean measure at the present cession. It will probably not come to a vote. Western orchardists were assured that the committee would give the matter the fullest consideration before reporting on the bill. That prob ably means the bill will not be reported out before the close of the session. Mr. Newell stated that in his opinion the fight would have to be made over again at the next session of Congress." When the Pacific Coast delegation ap peared before the Congressional com mittee it scored a etrong point in demon strating that the Oregon box, when prop erly packed, would contain an even bushel of apples, and since the Easterners, who are urging the Lafean bill, deal in bushels, the Oregon box Is really the most suitable for all sections of the country. Mr. Newell urges that Oregon shippers exercise the greatest care in future, and recommends the diagonal pack in pref erence to the straight method now used in many sections. JIEDFORDS AGENT RETURNS Five Fruitgrowers Win Fight Against Eastern Commission Men. MEDFORD. Or., March 23. (Special.) C. E. Whistler, manager of the Bear Creek Orchards, who went to Washing ton, D. C, as a delegate of the Rogue River Fruitgrowers, to appear against the Lafean bill, at the hearing in the house committee on agriculture March' 9, returned to Medford today. Mr. Whistler says that although there were only five fruitmen to fight the bill against dozens of commission men, he re ceived the assurance that a majority of the committee would report unfavorably to the bill this session if they reported at all. WOMAN'S COW IS RESTORED Sheriff Intervenes When Former Owner Tries to Take Animal. VANCOUVER. Wash.. March 23. (Spe cial.) When Mrs. Charles Richards saw Frank Adams, her husband's uncle, take away the family cow, her only means of support, and lead it down the road at 2 o'clock this afternoon, she at once tele phoned the Sheriff's office. George John son. Deputy Sheriff, followed Adams and recovered the cow. which he restored to the almost destitute woman, who is sup porting her two children. She is not liv ing with tier husband. Mrs. Richards eays that Adams, over a year ago, gave her children the cow, and since that time she has cared for it, and has sold two gallons of milk a day to the neighbors, the children making the deliveries. Today, Adams, accompanied by Rich ards, appeared at her home on East Nineteenth street, and took a few per sonal effects wich she has been keep ing for him. She says Adame threatened to take away the household goods, and bedding which she has been using. Adams, when the Deputy Sheriff seized the cow from tlim, said that Richards told him to take the cow. It is likely that if Adams does not give Mrs. Rich ards any further trouble, he will not be prosecuted. PETITION FAILS TO OUST Springfield Citizens Would Use Re - call on Councilman Kestly. SPRINGFIELD, Or., March 23. (Spe cial.) The City Council was startled at last night's session by a petition that was signed by 150 names demand ing that they require the resignation of Councilman John Kestley on the ground that he is no longer a resident of Springfield. The matter was not dealt with by the Council, however, upon tiTe statement of the City Attorney, S. P. Ness, of Eugene, that the place of resi dence is no legal cause for the use of the recall. Kestly for the past year, and pre vious to his re-election has been liv ing in Eugene, although his place of business he says, is in Springfield. He sold his hotel and a certain amount of property here about three months ago. He is a member of a local real estate firm. Kestly claims that the petition has been started and urged by certain individuals who advocate a tightly closed town and who he thinks feel that he was chiefly Instrumental in the defeat in the Council of a strict Sunday-closing ordinance.

J. CAMPBELL WHITE DRAWS General Secretary of Laymen's Movement Will Be Chief Speaker of Evening He Spent Many Years in Work In India. With the announcement last night that the Methodists of the city are leading, by the number of 2, the race for the banquet tickets for the opening of the Laymen's Missionary Movement, convening here the last three days of the month, it is becoming somewhat of a contest for the privilege of hearing some of the world's well-known ora tors. The Baptists are second with 99 tickets sold. J. Campbell White, general secretary of the movement, who will probably ar rive in Portland before the week is out, is one of the principal speakers be fore the convention, and will be heard to advantage Tuesday night at the dinner at Meier & Frank's. The variety of experience Mr. White has had in the 20 years of his public Christian work places him in a position of great advantage in the responsible place he now occupies. Mr. White was graduated in 1890 from the University of Wooster. O. Two years following he traveled among the colleges of the United States, one year as college secretary of the international committee of the Young Men's Chris tian Association, and one year as sec retary of the Student Volunteer Move ment. After a year of special study, he went to Calcutta, India, as pioneer secretary of the T. M. C. A. in Cal cutta, where he labored until 1903. Dur ing those ten years he was associated with missionaries of many societies and of various nations. He returned to America at the call of his own church to assist in placing its missionary work upon a more adequate basis, and was one of the organizers of the Men's Movement in his own denomination. At the meeting on November 15. 1906, at which the Laymen's Missionary Movement was organized, Mr. White was present'and gave the only address of that historic occasion. He was at once called to the leadership of the Laymen's Missionary Movement. and has been its general secretary from the beginning. He has addressed all of the great conventions held under the auspices of the movement. He was one of- the deputation which in 1907 visited Great Britain and organized national committees of the movement in England and Scotland. Three of the most widely circulated pamphlets published by the Laymen's Missionary Movement were written by Mr. White, viz.: "The Genesis and Sig nificance of the Laymen's Missionary Movement." "Our Share of the World," and "Method of Enlisting Men in Mis sions." The demand for banquet tickets in creases with every mail to Secretary W. A.
