U charged with accepting a deposit in a bank not ll-nMd to transact bualneaa. Inquiry at Mr era homo yesterday elicited the In formation that be had not been seen for three days. It Is not believed that the bank promoter baa left tbe cltjr. the officer who are making- a search for him belca of the opinion that be Is belns; protected br friends. The warrant for Myers' arrest arises from bis connection with the Italian American Bank, which be organised about three years ago. Recent de velopments disclose that his relations with that Institution have been oe rtdedly questionable. Evidence baa been found In which It appears th Myers accepted from several Italians their notes In payment of stock In the bank. Some of this paper has sine been hypothecated by Myers, several of tha notes bavins; been indorsed to the Mount Sk-ott Bank prior to Its suipen alon of business, notwithstanding thi fact that the Instruments were xe . cuted with the understanding that they were to be used only as a part of the capital stock of the Italian-American Hank, which la today without a state li cense and consequently Is not In position to transact business legally. In addition to this discovery, it has been learned further that while the Institution has not been established 1 tally. Myers has received deposits from at least two Italians. Subscriber to Mtt. A meeting: of the subscribers to stock In this bank, top-ether with those who made deposits in the Institution, will be held tonight In Swiss HalL when the affairs of the back will be investigated and a course of action determined. Inquiry Into the record of Myers shows that he has operated extensively In Portland and Western Ore iron as bank promoter. Associated with him In Ms operations was J. A. Block, who re cently achieved soma notoriety through the medium of an es-wlfe. Thla com bination worked successfully for soma time. Myers looking after tha Insldi details of tha several banking; Institu tlons. whlla Block attended to tha sale f stock. They organised several small banks, among those In addition to the Mount JV-ott Bank being; tha Scandinavian and the Italian-American, both of this city. also banks at Beaverton and Banks. Washington County. Myers bad soma misunderstanding- regarding; tha two Washington County banks about three years ago and disposed of bis Interests to other who were induced to sub scribe stock In the concerns. Sine then he baa been devoting his energies to th banking; business In thla city, r'errara tstarts Invnttlgatlon. When th Mount Scott Bank failed and a receiver was placed In charge. A- B. rerrera and others, who bad been Interested In the Italian-American Bank, were apprised that th condition of that Institution waa not what It should be. Two days later Mr. Ferrera went to the offices occupied by the Italian-American concern and secured possession of all th vlsibl records of the corporation. Included among th records. Mr. Ferrera waa astonished to find what purported to be minutes of a meeting attended by Myera and two or three other men several weeka ago When Myera resigned aa president and Fer rera waa mad president. Myers, how ever, remained with the Institution, being made secretary. Further Inquiry by Ferrera ascer tained th fact that Myera bad caused to be printed a number of business cards for th bank, showing Ferrera to be president. With these exhibits Myers proceeded to sell to unsuspect ing Italians and othera stock In tha bank, disposing In th aggregate to about le persons approximately 150. 0 of stock. Not ail the. aotea have been located. Several have been dis posed of by Myers, although th notes war given only In payment of stork In th bank. To wbat extent the af faire of the Institution are muddled will only be determined by a thorough Investigation of the records of tha bank. This will be taken up at ta nlsbt's meeting. Although warned repeatedly by Plate Bank Examiner Wright not to vndertak any banking bualness until st stat license had been obtained. Myera evidently accepted deposits, tb amount not being known. In fact, there la do record on any of the bank books procured by Mr. Ferrera showing that any deposits were accepted. On th other hand, two Italians already hate reported to th authorities that they made drpoalta with Myers, who to return Issued to them small mem orandum books, presumably banking books. When th doors of tha Mount Scott Bank were closed by Bank Examiner Wright. Myers transferred bis scene of acttvltlea to the Italian-American Bank on Second street, explaining to the authorities that If he were not dis turbed In that business he would be able eventually to pay depositors In tb Mount Scott Bank dollar for dollar. With thla promise given, th officers did not Interfere In any way with Myers, who evidently took advantage of th reprieve to make a further clean-up. It la possible he baa left th city.

SPHOT OF Bl F.r A HE AFPB4RKD O.X HIS WAY TO PEXI TKTIRV, W1TU MISTACHE SUSSIXG ASD UtARDED BY DEPtTIES. PAS FRANCISCO, March It. Attorneys for Abraham Ruef, former political boss, now serving a sentence of 14 yeurs in San Quentln Penitentiary for bribery, appeared before the State Supreme Court today with a petition asking the court to rehear its orr vacating the order to hear an appeal from the decision of the First District Court of Appeals, which sustained the Judgment of the trial court. The petition consists of J panes, chiefly devoted to an argument that, since the Supreme Court Is empowered to correct the errors of lower tribunals, it has the power to rectify any technical mistakes It may have made Itself. It Is argued In the petition that, through no fault of the defendant, he was deprived of his constltuUonal right to have bis case heard by the failure of the court to provide a substitute for a Justice, who was absent temporarily from the "it'ls contended that the absence of Justice Henshaw was In no. wise the fault of the defendant and that the failure of the order for a rehearing to become operative on this account ahould not be permitted to stand In th way of a nunc pro tunc order of the court providing that a petition for a rehearing be again presented without prejudice to either the people or the defendant. INSOLVENCY IS PLEA Petition Is Granted in Case of Vancouver Bank. RECEIVER DUE TOMORROW Bond Placed at $30,000 for Party Who Will ll Put In Charge of Washington City Institu tion's Finances. VANCOUVER. Trash- March IS. (Special.) W. P. Bell. Etata Attorney- General, acting for J. L. Mohundro. Stat Bank Examiner, tonight appeared before Judge Donald McMaster and pe titioned the court to declare the Com mercial Bank of Vancouver insolvent and that a receiver be appointed. Evidence was given by Mr. Mohun dro and bis deputy. O. K Betta. to show that the bank Is now Insolvent. Th books show that the loans mad to Moor Martin, contractors, who built St. Joseph's Hospital, amount to mora than 150.000. and the loans to the Central Manufacturing Company were 1 13.000 to 1 11.000. secured by about t000. The court has held that warranta owned by the bank to th extant of f 1100 were not good, and be side these losses there were several smaller accounts which are not con sidered good. Th total losses aggre gate f 70.000. Judge Grants Petition. Judge McMaster granted the petition and took the matter of appointing a receiver under advlrement until Mon day morning. Myron B. tiles, who has Just retired from eight years' servlc n the County Auditors office, has been recommended by the depositors' asso ciation to be appointed receiver. Hla bond will be 150.000. in speaking of the failure of the bank tonight. Mr. Mohundro said: "I sincerely believe that the deposit- tors will be paid dollar for dollar If proper care Is taken of th resources of the bank. It may take a year, or a year and a half to do It, but I believe it ran be done. "The reason for tha petition for a receiver waa caused by my failure to find any on with sufficient capital to take over the bank In the days al lowed by law, he continued. "Hud the real estate market been reasonably easy, enough securities could have been disposed of to have permitted the bank to reorganize and resume busi ness. I found two parsons, each will lna: to take over the bank, but their capital. 1 100.000. could not be secured by them until July and August, it may be that they can yet take over th bank and ita business. "Th account of Rector at Iay Is well secured, and with car they will pay out In a reasonable time. The Swank ac Co. account Is more than se cured. Largest Account 998,000. "The largest account, held by A. T. Aldrtch. of Ooldendale. and Interests In which he Is associated, amounts to about ISs.OOO. but they have given se curities well worth 125.000. With Aldrtch were his two sons, the Colum bia, Valley Kealty Company, the Top penlsh Livestock Company and another man. Sine taking over the affairs of the bank I have sold real estate amounting to about 165.000. balf of which has been paid for. some being due this Fall and some later. The stockholders, who are liable to an assessment, have voluntarily given me securities amounting to nearly IJI.OOO of their 1:5.000 liability, aa fol lows: H. C. Phillips, president, 114.000; A- J. Cook. (4400: Gilbert Daniels, cash ier. 11000; A. U Miller. $2500. The bal ance is owned by Army officers In the Islands, and they have been notified. These securities will be held In escrow and will only be used in case It Is nec essary to keep tbe depositors from los- -Yes. some of th loans mad were I so large as to b absurd. I think that 1 th largest loan should not nave been more than I1&.000. Th loss on ac count of Moor at Uardlu is what really crippled the bank. Could that have been made good the bank would be do ing business today. The losses amount to about f 70.000. but the loss would be much greater If an attempt were made to realize on the securities at once. Bank's Condition Out.

SAN FRANCISCO. March 18. (Spe cial.) With the signing of his name. Judge Thomas F. Graham, in the Su perior Court' today, dissipated the $3,000,000 which Mrs. Maybelle Gllman Corey, wife of the ex-president of the United States Steel Corporation, re cently announced In New York, Just before she sailed for her new home In Paris, that she had fallen heir to. With the same stroke of the pen the court annulled the claims of the former actress' brother. Monroe . Gllman, of Oakland, and of his sisters, as heirs In share to the same wealth. The court holds valid the assign ments of the heirs of the lata Charles Gllman to Attorney O. Deal of all of their right and .title, if any they ever had, to a large acreage of Kern County oil lands, which In various suits against Deal they have sought to have set aside on the grounds that their sig natures to the process of assignments were secured through fraud and mis representation. The court finds that Deal was not guilty of fraud at the time he had the children of tha lata Charles Gllman sign over their Interests In the prop erty to him for considerations ranging from $200 to $350 each.

IDLE ARMY GROWS Men Beseech Mayor of So cialist City for Work. SEIDEL NOW POWERLESS Mayor of Milwaukee, by Rescinding Improvements and Holding Down Expenses Swells Number of Unerrrployed to 20,000. MILWAUKEE, Wis., March IS. (Special. "Give us work, as you prom ised." Is the plaintive cry the Socialist administration Is hearing. More than 20.000 men are walking the streets seeking work, and the Associated Char Hies report greater and more wide spread suffering among the poor of Milwaukee than at any time within the last five years. Two years ago Mayor SeideL then an Alderman, declared that, were he at the bead of the Board of Public Works, he would find means to give work to the unemployed. Now, as chief executive of the city, he finds that he Is power less to keep his promise. Alderman Corcoran, a Democrat, pro posed to have tbe city start street im provement work at once, but the So cialists are opposed to doing any more street work on private contract and are endeavoring to rescind contracts already let. They axe planning to have all city work done by the munici pality direct, and Alderman Berger figures that by the saving that thus may be brought about more work can be done for the same amount of money. In almost every department of the city service Important work Is being held un in an effort to keep down ex penses and thus reduce the tax levy next year. And It is Decause of the fear that taxes must necessarily be higher than even this year, because of the large number of Socialist plans In volving heavy expenditures, that the unemployed situation is growing mora acute every day. No large city contracts have been made during the last few months. Con tractors are Idle, with prospects that their enforced Idleness will continue indefinitely, so far as city work is con cerned. The streets are not being cleaned, ashes and garbage are being removed spasmodically and then only when people Insist on Its being done. No alley has been cleaned since last FalL NAVY APPLICANT.
