n, HOW BANKERS V ITI.KC.L IS ft .! '?' ,'. I JEFFRIES NOW WEIGHS 220 Champion Keeps Up Hard WorkIs COLONEL HOFER TURNER MADE SECRETARY 0. E. Former Auditor of Pacific & Eastern Made a Director of Orcnon Electric at Annual Mcotlnn John F. Stev ens Is Elected to Presidency. BOUGH CANDIDATE Sato of Railroad to Defunct Oregon Trust Explained in Court In Suit Brought by Devlin in Which Dr. Reddy Is Co-Defendant. PORTLAND, Juno 8. Iii the civil suit brought against directors of tho defunct Oregon Trust & Savings bank nnd J. P. Rcddy, receiver of the Medford & Crater Lake railroad, bc- foro Judcc Qatcns, Dr. Rcddy ended his testimony yostorday. Ho stated that ho hnd never made any formal report of his receivership, but had in formed Judgo Hanna of all steps taken and advised with him ou all proposed steps. Attorney A. E. Clark stated that both President Walter II. Moore and Cashier W. Cooper Morris had made overdrafts in their personal accounts at the timo Moore swore he had 22,500 with which to pay his share ef the purchase price of tho Pacific & Eastern railway. In trying to provo Moore had the onoy ho claimed, Senator Pulton kad tho account of Mooro Bros, tak en up and traced through the same onths, only to discover that Moons Bros, had an overdraft of $2020.33 catered in red ink against them when tho bank closed its doors. Then he took the account of the Mooro In yestment company, with better suc cess, the credit balance August 20 being $13,077.38. He also drew forth tho information that after the bank closed Moore made all short ages good. When tho amounts of overdrafts of Mooro and Moore Bros, are deduct' ed from tho credit balance to the Mooro Investment company, the amount falls far short of the money seeded to pay Moore's share on the purchaso of the railroad. Tho story of the purchase of the Medford & Crater Lake railroad wn told during the trial by George Este. tWalter H. Moore, president, and W. Cooper Morris, cashier of the Ore gon Trust & Savings bank, and Geo. Estes, vice-president of the Estncada State bank, according to the testi mony, formed the quartet making the purchase. Tho Medford & Crater Lake road was in the hands of J. F. Beddy as receiver, and ho sold it to Estes. Moore, Morris and Stryker for $82500. For the road the receiver was handed a cashier's check for $1000 and certificates of deposit, all n, the Orecon Trust & Savings bank, for $81,500. Here was a charge against the Or egon Trust amounting to $82,500, for which nothing had been placed in the bank to offset in the way of a security except a memorandum that when the Medford & Crater Lake road was reorganized, renamed and reincorporated into tho Pacific & Eastern, bonds would be placed in the Oregon trust, admitted Estes. Not a dollar of cash was deposited in the Oregon Trust when tho $82, 500 of liabilities was issued. Not even tho bonds of the Pacific & Eastern wero deposited and, of eourse, theso could not be deposited for tho very good reason that before tho Oregon Trust issued the check and certificates of deposit tho receiv er would not turn over the Medford Crater Lake, nnd until the road eame into possession of the nunrtot of promoters thoy could not issue bonds to tho Oregon Trust. There fore, the memorandum and the ab sence of a cash deposit. Disposition of Stock. Estes said ho was the bond seller of tho Oregon Trust, and was presi dent of tho Estacada State bank also. Tho latter bank issued certifi cates of deposit to tho Oregon Trust for $41,250, all as part of the threo eornerod transaction. A memoran dum similar to that left with tho Ore gon Trust was put into tho Estacada Btato bank when the certificates of deposit were issued. There was no monoy de)08ited or anything else of value but tho memorandum. Later, when, through tho certificates and the cheek of tho Oregon Trust, the Medford & Crntor Lake was bought from Receiver Reddy, Morris, Moore, Stryker nnd Estes proceeded to square tho banks of which they wero efficors by depositing bonds of tho sewly formed Pacific & Eastern. To the Oregon Trust went $100,000 und to the Estacada State bank $50,000. Planning to Buy Big Mexican Ranch If Ho Defeats Colored As pirant on the Fourth. UOWAUDENNAN, Cal Juno 8.

They simply went wild, and are talking about It yet. Medford had several chances to win tho Eame. but could not come through with tho necessary hit. Os borne, tho Grants Pass pitcler, was In fine form, and had his drop ball working to perfection. It Beebe had" not gotten hurt If Blacklngton had caught that fly If Antle would have tried for homo plate on Blackey's hit If we could have bit when we need ed hits If Shorty had not mado that wild throw to first Oh, what's the uso?
