THE MORNING "OBEGONIAN, FT? IT) AT. JUNE 12, 1903. JAIL DOORS CREAK Eppinger's Case Will Go Before Grand Jury. WELLS-FARGQ BANKTHREATENS Attorneys f Grain 3Ien Promise to Product! Them When 'Called Upon Said Still to Be la San F'ranclsco. FRANCISCO. June lL-Judge Da Haven this morning Issued a restraining order enjoining the Bank of Monterey and the American National Bank from Inter fering with or hindering the receiver from taking possession of tho -warehouse at Port Costa, together with the grain and merchandise which It contains, and also prohibiting him taking possession of the wheat which is stored In the barges alongside of the warehouse, or hinder ing him from returning the wheat to the warehouse. The books of Eppinger & Co. and the Pacific Coast Warehouse Company were this morning turned over to the. re ceiver. Henry Ach, the attorney representing the members of the bankrupt Arm of grain dealers, this morning indignantly denied that Jacob Eppinger. Herman Ep plnger and Bernhard Eppinger, the co partners in the firm's business, were in hiding. It was announced this afternoon that the officials of the bank of Wells, Fargo & Co. today set out to begin criminal pro- ceedlngs against the members of the firm of Eppinger & Co.. but were induced to defer action, owing to the fact that Dis trict Attorney Bylngton will tomorrow lay the case before the grand jury. The whereabouts of the Epplngers had not been learned tonight, but their attorneys maintain the grain men are still in San Francisco, and will be pro duced when needed. Comment was made on the street today on the allegations set forth in Receiver "Wadsworth's Injunction petition that the American National Bank and the Bank of Monterey had within the past two weeks sent agents to the Crockett ware houses to Inspect the grain there and mark the sacks. It is estimated that some hint must have been then given the banks of the shaky condition of the firm. A peculiar development of today was that the warehouse books were not turned over to Receiver "Wadsworth along with the books of the local office. The attorney for the firm, however, promised to produce them tomorrow morning. CERTIFICATES FOR TEACHERS. Washington. Stntc Superintendent Gives Oat a. List. OL.TMPIA, Wash.. June 1L (Speclal.)

Thirty-seven of the a puplln of the Clackamas County schools who took the eighth-grade examinations this month were successful and will receive diplomas.

Last year the graduates numbered only 70. While the class this year is considerably larger. Superintendent ZInser reports that it represents but. 2 per cent of the enrolled pupils of the schools.

"Is the only plan by which the per centage of the graduates from the gram mar grades 6t the public schools can be increased.

But now there Is liable to be trouble over the mat ter, as a number of the owners of large tracts of timber and In the county are making serious objections to the proceed ing. The objections offered are three, the first being that the court has no right under the law to employ cruisers for such a purpose, and, second, that to do the work properly would cost at least 525,000, an expense too great to be warranted by the results obtainable. The third objec tion Is the one that -will be urged the most strenuously, and the assertion Is made that the courts will be appealed to to assist In its enforcement. It is that the cruisers employed by the county will turn In the estimates which they have se cured during the time that they were cruising for private parties, the data of which they still retain. The timber-owners claim that this in formation was paid for by -them, for their own personal use, and the cruisers have no right to dispose of It to any- other per son or persons. They assert that the cost of cruising a timber claim Is about $32, and that the information secured by the payment ot that amount to the cruisers to T,rit(.
