THE MOKXING OREGONIAN. TUESDAY, AtJGUST 27. 1907. 7 MORRIS IS READY TO GIVE HIS ALL Cashier of Oregon Savings Bank Pledges Every Cent He Has to Pay Depositors. RETURNS FROM THE EAST KeceiTer Devlin Declares Brokers Who Buy Up Claims of Depositors at Discount Will Get 'o More From Bank Than They Pay. CASHIER MORRIS' STATEMENT. My train is Just In; it Is midnight and I am too fatigued to make any extended statement tonight more than this: Knowing the condition of the Ore gon Trust & Savings Bank, I am sure every depositor will be paid in full, and everything I've got In the world will go to accomplish that if - necessary. - The securities I had with me were sent from New Tork last Wednes day by Wells-Fargo express. Part of them were expressed by myself and part by the Fourth National Bank of New York. They should arrive not later than tomorrow. W, C. MORRIS. Worn and exhausted from his hur ried trip across the continent, suffer ing from the severe strain he has been Lndersince the first news of the fail ure of the Oregon Trust & Savings Bank reached him at New York last Wednesday, Cashier W. Cooper Morris reached home at midnight. The securi ties he took to New York with the hope of securing a loan for his bank will probably arrive today, for they were delivered to the express com pany just before Mr. Morris left for home. Taking the fastest train from New York. Mr. Morris proceeded to Chicago, leaving there Friday. He came by way of the Northern Pacific. Mr. Morris would not discuss the bank failure in an extended way last nlgnt. He was very tired and hur ried home to get rest. He has had no opportunity to talk with any one con nected with the bank and knows nothing further about developments In the case than he has learned from newspapers snatched hurriedly on his way home. Mr. Morris made a signed statement, however, saying he will use every cent he has in the world to make up any loss to depositors. However, he is confident that none of the cred itors need lose a cent, for he says the bank is in good condition and that he is sure every depositor will be paid in full. Mr. Morris was asked the truth of the statement of directors of the defunct bank that he had purchased telephone bonds In large quantities without author ity from' the bank officials." Declines to Discuss Bank's Affairs. "I do not want to make the mistake of ' talking too much before I am advised of the actual conditions," Bald he. "I am tired and worn out and cannot discuss these matters tonight.' The discussion of the allegation made ty bank officials of unsecured loans by the cashier was also postponed until Mr. Morris is rested and learns what has transpired here during the past week. As to blaming his fellows in the bank management for their part In conducting affairs or to retaliate for their state ments that the crash was due to his own mismanagement. Cashier Morris has as yet not a word to say. He wants first to llearn the real situation aere, and then he may express himself. It will be useless for brokers and local shylocks to buy up claims of depositors In the defunct Oregon Trust & Savings Bank, for Receiver Devlin declares he will not pay assigned claims -for a cent more than the cost of the claim. Re ceiver Devlin is aware of the work these brokers are doing and says every effort Is being made to discourage depositors, eo they will part with all title to their deposits for Very little. "1 shall not pay a cent more for as signed accounts than the horflers of the claims paid for the same to depositors," declared Mr. Devlin. "The cost of the claim to the person representing it is the t maximum that these accounts will re ceive. Brokers and speculators may just as well understand this fact now, for they are busy seeking to discourage cred itors by making them believe they will get little or nothing from the bank. "I have consulted good authority on this feature of the situation and I firmly believe the courts will sustain us in this .position. The work of listing the bank's 'assets is going forward as fast as It can be carried on. Securities on the Way. "I have heard no word from Mr. Mor ris. We have no doubt but the bonds ha took away with him are now en route to i Portland by express, but they have not rarrlved as yet. We know that a portion , of the bonds that were in the East are ; on their way back, for we had a message ifrom the First National Bank, of New ! York, that a quantity of bonds examined (by it with the Intention of purchasing have been shipped back, but have not ' arrived yet." It Is believed that the slow delivery of the securities taken by Mr. Morris Is due to the fact that one day is lost in Chi cago by the transfer of express to the Pacific Coast trains. The package of bonds is expected to reach Portland to day. The securities Mr. Morris took with him. in the hope of saving the bank by raising money on them, total nearly J900.000 in value. No further pledge of contributing their own funds to make good any loss to the depositors have been made by bank offi cials. District Attorney Manning wants to talk with the cashier. He has taken a mass of testimony from depositors and he appears to be convinced that the bank accepted deposits after the officials knew It was In the financial breakers. But no arrests will be ordered until Cashier Mor ris is seen and the fullest information possible obtained about the circumstances leading to the bank's closing. Turks Slay Persians Wholesale. TEHERAN, Aug. 26. General Dowleh and other officials, according to reports received, have been captured and after ward killed by invading Turks. Many Inoffensive Persian, villagers. Including women and children, have been slaugh tered. Many women were carried oft and property destroyed. Turkish regulars with artillery were within four miles of Urmlah August 16, and continue to occupy Persian territory- The Turks are reported to be occupying Merivan, Persian Kurfi&afcan. The inhabitants have telegraphed that the government is powerless and the people beg Russia to assist them. MEAT DEALER IS FINED F. Li. Smith Convicted or Selling Spoiled Meat, but Will Appeal. F. L. Smith, a meat dealer, was fined 50 In the Municipal Court yesterday morning for selling bad meat. Mrs. Anna Straub the complainant bought a beef tongue at Smith's Meat Market August 16. She testified that the fol lowing morning when she began pre paring the tongue she noticed some spots on it, also that a piece had been cut off. Having carefully salted it the night before, Mrs. Straub knew it could not have spoiled since she had pur chased it and at once reported the case to Mrs. Sarah A. Evans. Market In spector, who caused Smith's arrest. Mrs. Evans verified the statement of the complainant concerning the con dition of the tongue. The defense contended that Smith himself had no knowledge of the sale of the spoiled meat and that his or ders were strict concerning this very thing. It was also declared that It had not been proved that the tongue was bought at Smith's. The court held that Smith was re sponsible for all meats passing over his counters and that he should see to it that none of his assistants sold any that was tainted. "I consider this a very serious case," said Judge Cameron. "The weather has been cool and there Is no reason why this meat should have spoiled. I'll make the fine $50." The case will be appealed. Smith giving a bond of J100. Mr. Smith says he will carry the "it s w SPRINTER DAN J. KELLY WRITES case to the higher court, and that he considers iis arrest an attempt to in jure his business.

PLEASED WITH THE TRIP Members of Party Enthusiastic Over Country Visited, and Anxious to Expedite Projected Automo bile Road to the Coast. A dozen large automobiles, containing members of the Portland Automobile Club and their friends, returned to Port land yesterday after having traversed the proposed automobile road to the Coast. The party visited the fair at Tillamook City last Friday, and Saturday. The majority of the party left Portland Thursday morning and reached Tillamook Friday In time to attend the fair and - "r u A POSTAL TO THE OREGON! AX. participate In the annual festivities held to celebrate the most successful dairying and farming season in recent years. Some of the machines left Portland early Thursday morning or late Wednes day night and arrived in Tillamook Thurs day night. This party completed all ar rangements for the accommodation of the autoists. The autoists took the trip leisurely and thoroughly Investigated the Sheridan road, which Is expected to be the route selected and which will be permanently improved as a road for automobiles. The" project Is to be taken up and pushed for ward by the citizens of Tillamook, backed by the Portland Automobile Club and Portland business men, who are desirous of Improving the road to the seacoast. In order that it will be possible to drive ma chines into Tillamook at all seasons of the year. Discuss Road Improvement. The road improvement question was discussed at some length by the visitors and the citizens of Tillamook, and all were unanimously in favor of expediting the project at the earliest possible mo ment. The advantage of a road whereby one can drive into Tillamook within a few hours would be mutual to both Portland business men and the citizens of Tilla mook, for the latter are practically cut off from the world during the heaviest portion of the rainy season. The road 3 leading into the rich Coast country are almost Impassable In Winter and trav ersed only by the stage from Tfllamook to Sheridan. During the rainy season a great deal of the travel into Tillamook goes in by way of the little steamers running from Astoria, but within a few months the progressive citizens of the Coast town hope to have railroad com munication established. The coming of the railroad does not materially affect the demand for a good thoroughfare to the Coast, for the reason that an automobile can travel to Tilla mook from Portland In practically the same time as does the train. It is much more convenient, according to business men, for the reason that one can Jump into a machine at any time and start without waiting on a schedule. Roadbed Is Now Rough. While a great portion of the roads traversed to and from Tillamook were found to be exceedingly rough and im proved only slightly, the route to be picked out w!l! undoubtedly become a splendid thoroughfare, and prove of great benefit not only to autoists, who will be brought within touch of the ocean beach in a few hours, but will benefit as well the farmer3 and ranchers in' the counties along the route. Such a road will enable the settlers to get their products to market much faster than along the pre sent rough roads. While at Tillamook the Portland party was treated royally, and is enthusiastic in its praise of the hospitality of the citizens of the county seat and the resi dents along the route with whom they came in contact. Among those who en joyed the excursion were: Dr. and Mrs. C. B. Brown, Mrs. J. B. Teon. Mrs. M. Norton. E. Henry Wemme, Paul Stein metz, W. J. Clemens, R. D. inman, C. A. McCargar, W. S. Bowen, Dr. F. W. Brooke, and O. W. Mlelke all of Portland: C. S. Dudgeon, of Chicago: F. C. Cyrus, of Astoria: S. W. Childres and daughter, of The Dalles; Mrs. C. R. Beebe, of Sedro-Wooley. Wash., and H. W. Smith, of Nashville, Tenn. See Bayocean Park. Last Saturday the party was taken over to Bayocean, Park in steam launches provided by the Tillamook recep tion committee, and after viewing the splendid scenery In the vicinity of the new seaside resort, they sat down to a splendid luncheon prepared by the Potter Chapin Realty Company. R. D. Inman was chosen toastmaster, and toasts were drunk to the success of Bayocean Park, which is designed to be a leading Summer resort for Portland people. Mr. Inman in his speech lauded the enterprise of the promoters in selecting such a beautiful spot, and announoed that he would do all In his power to make the proposed auto mobile road to Tillamook and Bayocean Park a success. Mr. Inman's sentiments were echoed by all present. The unique feature of the trip was the fact that barring a few loosened bolts caused by an exceedingly rough portion of the road, and the running out of water and gasoline by two cars, the trip was made by all machines without the slight est injury. The drivers of the macUiees tightened up the bolts without delay and the needed water and gasoline was fur nished by the other cars, so that no great delay was experienced by any of the ex- f HOTEL AND HEAVY SERVICE RANGES HOTEL FURNISHINGS, ETC. j IfiSSf Regular 60c grade; special, peY yard 40c Regular 70c grade; special, per yard 50 Regular 80c grade; special, per yard 60 J 9 FT. x 12 FT.

Keens has confirmed the statement that Peter Pan, his great 3-year-old champion, would positively not fill his Fall engagements at Sheepshead Bay, Gravesend, Brighton and Belmont Park, and that there Is hardly a chance of the horse being seen In a race again. Peter Pan's retirement from the turf Is due to the impossibility of getting such an abnormally big horse In condition to put up a first-class race without risking a complete breakdown.

Contest Likely to Be Carried to Higher Courts and Into Next Session of the Legislature. SEATTLE, Wash.. Aug. 26. (Spec.al.) The church element has won Its first fight against the Meadows. Today, Frank Clancy closed the bar at the race track and announced he would stay closed until the courts determined wheth er or not he has the right to sell liquors. As explained heretofore, the Meadows track is within the mjle radius from this city, wherein liquor licenses are barred, and Clancy has been running without a municipal or county license. As the first step toward closing the Meadows, tne church organization has tried to close the bar, and after a fight extending almost 60 days has succeeded, through Clancy's arrest for illicit liquor traffic. If Clancy waits until his ease is de cided, the meet may close; before a decis ion is had. Clancy pays the track associa tion $13,500 for his bar priviliege for the season. If he can sustain his position he will prove that he can sell to Jockey club members and that county authorities have no right to Interfere with mm. Irrespective of the outcome of the bar fight, the church crowd, aided by dis gruntled gamblers, will take up the proj ect of closing the track at the next Leg islature. The bar fight is principally im portant, in that it foreshadows the next contest. STRIKE SITUATION SAME Companies Handling Business, but No Desertions Among Strikers. Nothing was observable at the of fices of the two telegraph companies last night that would Indicate that a strike was on. Clerks received all business offered and the click of ma chines in the back rooms had scarcely a break. No new men were put to work, but the flies were pretty well cleaned up. The local office of the Associated Press received Information of a satis factory nature from the head office. One statement follows: "So far as the East Is concerned the strike is practically broken. The Associated Press is making slower progress In the West, but at the same time some Improvement Is noticeable." The Associated contends It is bring ing In as many items of news as be fore the strike, but in somewhat ab breviated form. At the Portland strikers'' headquar ters the men on duty were much grati fied to receive a communication from a merchant In Jacksonville enclosing $20 and saying In his letter: "I think your cause is Just, your labor being mental and therefore hard. The corporation you are In trouble with Is amply able to pay the men liberally for the service rendered. I hope they will be successful in their efforts." A letter was also received from Gray's Harbor Inclosing a dollar for a ball ticket. The headquarters gave out the Information that E. J. Carl son, formerly manager of the Western Union office at Salem, had come to Portland to work as a strikebreaker. According to the figures at head quarters, there are 72 men out on strike, and It is claimed that 'benefits are being paid out of funds received entirely from local sources, no request having been sent In to the National or ganization as yet for assistance.

A wide spread Interest has been created among good livers, as to the composition of Grape-Nuts, the food that has become popular and famous the world over. It has long been known to physi cians, chemists and food experts, that the starchy portion of entire wheat and barley flours Is transformed into a true and very choice sugar, by the act of intestinal digestion In the human body. This sugar Is identical with, and is known as grape-sugar, and it is In condition for Immediate transforma tion Into blood and the necessary structure from which the delicate nerve centers are built up. A food expert followed a line of ex periments until he produced the food called Grape-Nuts, of which grape sugar forms the principal part, and It" is produced by following Nature's pro cesses In a mechanical way. That is, heat, moisture and time are the methods employed and directed by scientific facts gained In research. Grape-Nuts food Is probably en titled to the claim of being the most perfectly adapted food for human needs In existence. Certain It is that the user's delight In the flavor and the perfect action of Intestinal digestion during the use of Grape-Nuts is satis fying, and the added strength of body confirms the fact.
