The distribution of this larg amount of money has been made by Mr. How ard, who succeeded K. C Mears as re ceiver on January 51. 190H.

The affairs, of the suspended bank, however, have not been closed although the claims of all depositors have been liquidated. There remains to he paid from the bank's assets an item of $Si0. 000 which was advanced by ". M. Ladd to take care of the savings accounts of the institution. This obligation will be paid next out of the funds coming Into the hands of the receiver. The Institu tion Is also Indebted to Ladd & Tllton to the amount of $407,000. This ac count will be adjusted after Mr. Ladd has been remunerated personally for the funds he advanced to cover the sav ins: accounts. The condition of the bank and Its as sets Is good and It may be possible for the receivership eventually to liquidate all claims against the Institution. The semi-annual report filed by Mr. How ard yesterday apparently shows a sur plus over all liabilities of $31.000. In this report, however, are listed as as sets notes aggregating $370,000. which are of doubttul and uncertain actual value. Among these notes axe several given by the Colonial Investment Com pany and aggregating- about $245,000. latitude Allowed Aids. Mr. Howard Is much gratified with the progress of the receivership and particularly with bis ability to satisfy la full, together with interest, the claims of each and every depositor. In administering the affairs of the insti tution. Mr. Howard has been espertally fortunate. In that the lnterets of the creditors have been safeguarded. With the latitude that was allowed him by the court when the receivership was created. Mr. Howard has been able to dispose of many of the assets of the bank at figures unusual for the average receivership and at the same time high ly satisfactory to over u(J0 Interested depositors. Mr. Howard is particularly pleased with his record as receiver from the fact that the payment of all depositors have been effected In advance of the time agreed upon between Mr. Ladd and the committee representing the deposi tors.

SCHWARTZ RAPSMETHOD MISLEADING STATEMENTS ARE MEANS OP FRAUD. HE SAYS. General Opinion In I.and Office Pointed to Cancellation of Claims, Declares ex-Chief. "The criticism of my attitude on the Alaska coal land cases, which ap peared in an afternoon paper to day, shows the every-uay dishonesty of those who are getting rich by this sort of thing." declared Henry H. Schwartx. ex-chlef of the field service of the General Land Office, last night. I said nothing In my Interview with The Oregonlan to agitate anybody. The quotations given In the criticism of my statements are taken from an old report, made by me long before a hearing had been haJ and before the evidence In the case had been taken. This statement is what prac tically all of us thought before we knew what the evidence was. An en deavor Is being made by this method to mislead someone. "We had. before the hearing. Mr. Cunningham's original notebook. In which he said he had an eighth in terest In all these claims, but it de veloped they were mining locations, taken before the coal land laws were passed. "Thus the ground fell from under us, as It were, when the evidence was presented. As I said a few days ago. It was the firm opinion of almost everybody In the land office that these coal land claims would have to be can celled. "The decision which has been made by Commissioner Dennett finds that these claim owners have an under standing to hold and operate their claims Jointly, although each of the 33 denied that fact on the witness stand. The decision also holds that the coal mines must be developed on each claim, and that a 200-foot tunnel on one claim Is not the opening of a mine, because the tunnel Is not of suf ficient slxe."

ONE, 18, EXPOSES PLAN Jimmy Bnchner Says He "Squared" Juvenile Fiends With Apothecary That They Could Buy Co t calneJary Hears Case. Cocaine was sold over the counter of Solomon Miller's drug store to young boys "like bars, of soap." said half a doxen witnesses who testified In the Municipal Court yesterday afternoon. Before becoming a regular customer, the user had to be vouched for by "Jimmy" Buckner, 18 years old. who lived over Miller's store, and was him self a user of the drug. Once past this Inspection, the boy customer could pur chase every day a pocket of the drug for 50 cents. Witness after witness took the stand and said most emphatically, "that Is the man." pointing at the pale youth who sat beside his attorneys and prompted them at every point. All stages of emaciation were shown by the adolescent victims, from the pitiful decay of Joe Curry to the convales cence of John Davis, who fought the vice while a prisoner at the Llnnton quarry. Victim Holds to Slory. Around Joe Curry. II years old and a complete wreck, centered the Inter est of the case and the battle of the attorneys. An effort was made to dis credit the witness by showing that he had been shot by a policeman In Spo kane, but Curry, testifying in a low and trembling voice, came out of this test with (lying colors. He told how the policeman. In plain clothes, had applied an Insulting name to him. how he had retorted with a blow, whith led to the shooting. Curry said that he recovered $1000 and a $480 hospital bill from the City of Spokane in con sequence. He was shot through the lung and his right arm was paralyzed. To ease his pain the physicians pre scribed morphine, which he took for nearly a year. 'I used to go from my home at 306 East Hancock street to a pool room in South Portland, because all the follows I knew lived around there, and because that was the only place I could get the cocaine. I fell In with Jimmy Buck ner and he told Miller that I was all right." I bought the drug every day for a week before Miller's arrest. I bought 60 cents' worth every day and sometimes twice a day. Drug Bought .'fir Deputy. T got four bits worth the afternoon of June 22 and that evening Buckner hunted me up and said he had a friend who wanted to get some 'coke' and wanted me to get it for him.. While Buckner vouched for the other fellows, he could not get the stuff himself, be cause his mother was 'on.' I went with him and met Mr. Mcintosh and Mr. Fisher, the Deputy Sheriffs. I didn't know they were deputies then, but thought Mcintosh was a cocaine user. We went to Miller's store and Mcintosh gave me 60 cents and I went In and got the drug. Miller had a lot of packages already made up. That s the man over there who gave It to me. I am not mistaken about it." Curry said that a 60-cent package was sufficient for four or five doses after each of which the victim would be "out of his head" for about IS min utes. Then he was weak and sick un til he took- another dose. The quan tity he purchased on the day of Mllers arrest was all gone long before he During the taking of the youths testimony. MlUer was active In pitting questions through his attorney, and showed that he knew the record of every witness. Both Teter Mcintosh and Klsher. officers of the Juvenile Court, testified that they stood in the door of the drugstore and saw Miller person ally take Curry's money and hand him a small package, which they took to A. W. Allen, a druggist at Sixteenth and Marshall streets for analysis. Mr. Allen testified that the package and another one. purchased a few days be fore by another boy. contained cocaine. There was a slight break In the chain of evidence at this point, as the pack ages were handed to Mr. Allen's clerk, now out of the city, and attorneys for the defense contended that the city had not established that the packages turned over to him were those In evi dence. ... , . James Buckner. 13. who lives with his mother over Miller's store, at 629 i Klrst street, was called, and testified that he was the sponsor for Millers customers. "I squared the fellows with Miller," be said. Mother Caution Druggist. Buckner said he could not buy the drug himself, but was not allowed to say why. Privately he said that the reason was that his mothA- had dis covered that he was getting cocaine and had protested, whereupon Miller promised not to sell him again. Prior to that he had bought the drug from Miller personally several times, he said. He "squared" Curry. John Davis. Klbert Woehrll and others, he testi fied, and had been present when John Davis bought cocaine at the drugstore. The drug had been for sale there ever since Miller moved In, about four months ago. declared the witness. Buckner left the Inferenoe that he took toll out of the packages of those whom he "squared." John Davis. 18 years old. and a pris oner at the Llnnton quarry, serving 110 davs for using cocaine, said that he had bought the drug from Miller right along, once or twice a day for two o three weeks, paying 50 cents or $1. Sometime Mrs. Miller, he said, sold him the drug. Another witness, who lives In 'ttood lawn. testified that he bought a pack age of cocaine from Miller after be ing Introduced by Buckner. .He, was not an addict himself, he said. but made the purchase at the request of a stranger, who aald he wanted It for a girl. Buckner took his toll out of the package and turned tt over to the Juvenile Court. It was analysed and found to be cocaine. Afterward, he said. Miller told him that he was in trouble and would not sell any more. At this point the city rested and the defense .moved for an Instructed ver dict, which was refused by Judge Taz welL Happleat Girl ,m I'laeoloC A Lincoln.
