S STILL A MYSTERY
No "Light on Failure of the
Vancouver Bank.
EXAMINER REMAINS IN CHARGE
The'Uody of President Brown Was
Loltl n't Rest Yesterday He
AI50 Left Fareivell JUeMsage
to Ills Wife.
VANCOUVER, WashAprll 22. there
"were no new developments today concern
ing the failure or -the First National
BaJhk, and the sensational double suicide
th4t occurred in'' connection therewith,
Bank Examiner Maxwell, who is acting
as temporary receiver, has as yet noth
ing: to pive out In connection with the
failure and the cause of It is still
shrouded In mystery.
The bodies st the dead president and
cashier were '"removed to their respective
houses last night after dark. The grief
of J the families of the deceased officials
is pitiful in the extreme. "While enough
of .the condition of the bank has leaked
out; to satisfy the depositors that the
wrecking of the bank was deliberately
planned and systematically carried out,
still no suspicion attaches that the fami
lies of the deceased officers knew -anything
concerning It, and the double shock
of the startling dfsclosures attending the
failure, and the subsequent announcement
of the remarkable suicide fell with crush-"-ing
-force' upon 'them.
Brown's wife and daughter, the latter
being Mrs. HarrlPt Brown Carpenter,
were both ill .at the time. S. "W. Brown,
the aged father of the decoasdd president
of the bank, is said to be in a dying con
dition as a. result of the terrible" hap
pening. He Is S2 ears of age.
It Is now certain that neither official
went homo after leaving the bank Fri
day evening. It is also practically proven
that the fatal shots, which ended the lives
of both, -were fired Friday evening about
7.30 o'clock. No man bas yet been found
who saw either man after they left the
bank at G o'clock, one hour and a half
before they are supposed to have killed
themselves.
It "was' given out today by members of
the Brown family, that Brown also left
a dingmcssage to his wife, which was
found on his person. It was scribbled on
a leaf v of j a small memorandum book.
This book is In the possession of .the fam
ily, and" fcould not be Seen.
The comflttee of prominent citizens whet
requested Levi Ankehy, the Walla Walla
banker to reorganize the wrecked bank,
are as yet unable to report results. Mr.
Ankeny is favorable to the project, but
can do nothing until the Investigations of
the Controller of the Currency reach that
stage that he can makea statement of
the bank's condition.
FUNERAL OF PRESIDENT nitOW.V.
Large Cortege Followed.' Remains to
the Last Resting: Place.
VANCOUVER. Wash.. April 22. The
funeral of Charles Brown, the dead bank
pdesident, which too kplace from the fam
ily residence at 2 o'clock today, was,
largely attended. The - funeral services,
which were conducted by the Rev. T. L.
Elliot, of Portland, were brief and sim
ple in the extreme. The grief-stricken
wife upon whom the shock falls heaviest,
and whose Jlfe at times during the past
two days has been almost despaired of,
by sheer force of will power insisted upon
rising from her bed when the body was
brought to the house and followed her
dead husband to the cemetery. The fol
lowing persons, all of whom were Inti
mate friends of the deceased, acted as
pall-bearers; George H. Stevenson, Jj. B.
Clough, A. J. Cook, E. M. Rands, Chat--field
Knight and A. G. Chumasero. -
With the exception of S. W. Brown, the
aged father, and Mrs. Harriet Brown
Carpenter, the oldest daughter, who are
confined to -their beds by sickness, all
the members of the Immediate family ,
were present.
Charles 3rown was a man of high cul
ture and fine literary- taste. He was
naturally possessed of a genial disposition
and of generous impulse. In recent years,
however, as a result, no doubt, of finan
cial reverses, -and of his extreme sensi
tiveness, he was strongly inclined to be
pessimistic and to see the dark side of
things,, and would give himself over to
morose and melanchold thought alia""
forebodings. He possessed the confidence
and esteem of his fellow citizens to a
remarkable degree. This was also true
of E. I Canby, the dead cashier. Large
jiropertles have for years been entrusted
to the management of these men by their
business acquaintances and friends with
out the thought of a bond or security
and with implicit confidence in their
honesty. Even now many of the friends
whom they served and who trusted them
refuse to believe the story- of their guilt.
It is a common thing since the failure
of the bank to hear leading citizens and
large depositors of the bank remark: .
"I would have trusted Brown and Can
by with all I am worth and would do
bo yet were they alive."
The time of the funeral of Mr. Canby
5iasT- h?enn$bnged from 2 o'clock to
11:30 A. M, tomorrow.
SUPRE3IE COURT DECISIONS.
Linn, Coos and Benton County Cases
Panned. Upon.
SALEM, Or., April 22. The Supreme
Court today handed down decisions In
three appealed cases, in two of which the
lower courts were reversed, and In the
other the judgment appealed from, was
modified. The decisions are as follows:
J. L. Lewis, respondent, vs. John Craft
and M B. Craft, appellants, from Linn
County, George H. Burnett, Judge; re
"Versed. Opinion by Justice Moore.
This wae an action brought by Lewis to
recover 300 paid by him to the defend
ants on account of the purchase price
of soma cattle, and also for 'damages for
thcrefusaj tf defendants to deliver the
cattle. The plaintiff alleges that by a
written agreement defendants had under
taken toydellver'ZOO calves to the plain
tiff at $15 per head, the calves to be de
livered at plaintiff's home, but later this
agreement was modified so that 184 cattle
were to be deliver, at Lebanon, -when the
remainder of the purchase price should
be paid. It was alleged that plaintiff ten
dered payment of the balance due, but
defendants refused to deliver the cattle.
The defendants alleged that the agree
ment had Jiot beeft changed and that they
had, tendered the cattle as agreed, with
the condition that Leu Is pay the balance
"before- taking possession, but that he re
fused to so pay the money uue. The
parties Introduced testimony to support
their contentions, at the close of which
the trial Judge Instructed the jury to
bring' in a verdict for plaintiff for $30Q,
because "the defendants had failed to de
liver the cattle jas agreed.
"The defendantelappeaied to the Supreme
Court, "where they secured a reversal, the
Jiigher tribunal holding that it was error
for the court to give the Instructions
mentioned. The court lays down the rule
.governing such transactions as follows:
"The rules ..of the law do not require
' "the performance of vain thfngs, and since
t .the vendor of goods, upon the failure of
, 'tHVpurchaser to pay the purchase money
" upon the delivery thereof, may treat such
delivers' as conditioned, though appar
ently absolute, no just reason exists for
requiring the vendor to make more than"
- a conditional offer of the goods in ex
gharyre for the purchase money when
the price or value thereof is payable in
cash- The principle thus announced J
prevents an irresponsible purchaser from
securing personal property from an un
suspecting vendor, which he might Imme
diately transfer to an innocent purchaser
or apply to the payment of his debts, and
the application of this rule can do a re
sponsible purchaser no Injury, for If he
agrees to pay cash upon delivery, he can
not complain because the terms of his
contract are specifically enforced."
It is held that the question as to the
place of delivery should have been left
to the jury, and because of the Instruc
tion given, the case is remanded for a
new trial.
Jefferson Williams. Jr., administrator,
appellant, Vs. S. J. Culver, respondent,
from Coos County, Henry L. Benson
Judge: reversed. Opinion by Chief Jus-1
tlce Beam
This was an action upon a promissory
note executed by defendant to P. W. Will
iams, since deceased. The defense was
that the note was a renewal of an old
note, and that the defendant was en
titled to several credits thereon. The
trial resulted In judgment for the defend
ant and plaintiff appealed. In the court
below a witness was permitted to testify
that he saw the defendant give one Mosier
$140 to give to Williams. The Supreme
Court holds that this was error, for It
does not appear that Mosier had any au
thority to collect money for Williams, so
its delivery to him, with directions to pay
to Williams, without further proof, is no
evidence of such payment.
On cross-examination the plaintiff was
asked whether he had not stated in pres
ence of Mrs. Day that his brother, J. H.
I Williams, "had got all that Culver owed
his father. P. W. Williams." Plaintiff
denied making such a statement, and
Mrs Day was called to testify that he did
It Is held that the admission of this' testi
mony was improper, for the reason that
statements made by plaintiff before he
was appointed administrator cannot be
used against him In his representative
capacity. "Neither did his testimony lay
a foundation for impeachment, for since
the cross-examination -was not germane, it
could not be made use of for the purpose
of impeachment. For these errors the
case is remanded for new trial.
J. B. Smith et al., respondents, vs. M.
W. Wilklns, et al., respondents, and F. E.
Beach, appellant, from Benton County,
J. W. Hamilton, Judge; modified. Opin
ion by Justice Wolverton.
This is a contest between a mortgagee
and mechanic's lien claimants as to the
rigut of priority. The case was decided
by the Supreme Court and reported In 31
Oregon, Supreme Court Reports, at page
12L The case was then sent back for,
new trial to "determine the interests of
Beach. The property upon which, a Hen
was claimed was a hotel and the lots
upon which It stood. The decree -was
that the lots be sold first, nd the pro
ceeds be applied first to the satisfaction
of the mortgage, the balance, together
with the proceeds of the sale of the hotel,
to be applied to the satisfaction of the
mechanic's liens, prorata,
.The decree, after the first appeal, was
that all the Hen claimants, except Beach,
be postponed to the Hen of the mortgages,
both as to the land and the building. It
Is now held by the Supreme Court that
since Beaoh is the only Hen claimant who
participated in the appeal, It was error
to enlarge the relief as to the other claim
ants, and they should take under the
former decree, while Beach alone can par
ticipate in the fund under this decree un
til after the satisfaction of his claim, the
other mechanlcs's Hen claimants being
postponed to the mortgages on the build
ing, as well as the lots.
The appeal in the case of J. H. Howell
et al., appellants, vs. George W. Davis
et al., respondents, was dismissed today
by stipulation. This was the suit over
the possession of the Pioneer stone quarry
in Lincoln County. Davis, the lessee
of the quarry, was victorious in the Cir
cuit Court, and so far as the record shows
is yet In supremacy. He is the ex-clerk
of the State Land Board, In whose -administration
of office a defalcation of $31,000
was reported to the aite Legislature. ,

A good building material
That's stone and mortar. Day by day
