New Receiver of Title Guarantee & Trust Company Takes Places Vacated by Hill. At a meeting of the officers of the defunct Title Guarantee & Trust Com pany held yesterday afternoon, E. C. Clears, the new receiver, became presi dent of the four subsidiary companies. When the bank failed and George H. Hill, vice-president of the concern, was appointed receiver, he became presl-' dent of the subsidiary corporations, and yesterday, when he stepped down and out of the presidency of these companies,- his official connections with the Title Guarantee & Trust Company ceased and now he is under a salary as a clerk. The four principal companies are the Commercial Trust Company, Colonial Investment Company, the-Portland Development Company, better known as the Late Pence, and the Ore gon Company. The removal of Hill from official con nection with the Title Guarantee & Trust Company's affairs will occasion no surprise, and Receiver Mears ex plained yesterday this action was brought about Just as quickly as the matter could he reached. Hill, because of his knowledge of the inside working of the concern, has been retained In the capacity of a clerk and will assist Receiver Mears. He Is the only one of the former officers of the bank that has been retained. T. T.. Burkhart, for merly the treasurer of the company, severel his connection with the bank on Saturday last. The meeting held -yesterday afternoon was a brief one. Receiver Mears was elected president of the holding companies and he takes one share of stork in each company, so that he can be also one of the di rectors. On share of stock was also taken over by several of the clerks employed by Receiver Mears, and they will constitute the directors. It is' expected that the work of the experts placed in the bank by District Attorney Manning and on request of Attorney-General Crawford, will be completed by Saturday. Considering the methods used fcy the official!, of the bank, the work of the experts has been rapidly done. That they have found the grossest kind of irregularities is admitted by District Attorney Manning and it is evident that things are found to be in worse shape than was expected. During the hearing before Judge Wolverton when the creditors of the bank were fighting to have Receiver Hill removed. Attorney Joseph Simon announcedffn open court that It was his belief that the bank would be able to pay dollar for. dollar. From later de velopments It Is evident that Attorney Simon had either been misinformed as to the exact conditions existing in the bank or that he had not gone into the matter deeply, for the experts have found nothing tliat would lead them to hope that such a thing is at all possi ble. When all of the facts are made public about the Title Guarantee & Trust Company, It will undoubtedly be found that the wreck was about as complete as it could have been made had the officials planned Its destruc tion. . Receiver Mears saj's he Is - not yet In a position to know how much the creditors will get from the bank. He will wait until the experts are through, then when thefr reports are- In his hands and he has checked them up, he will be better able to give some Idea as to the exact condition of affairs. He has installed a rigid system of economy and he says he will save to the depos itors and creditors every dollaV possi ble. He will make a monthly report to Judge Wolverton and will make no move without first consulting him. CHURCH WILL BE REBUILT Officers of Forbes Presbyterian Con gregation Hold Informal Meeting. At an informal meeting or the of ficers and a few members of the Forbes Presbyterian Church, and congregation, held last night at the residence of the pastor. Rev. Harry H.

The pastor of the church, and Rev. W. V. Forbes, the founder of the church, both addressed the meeting-Informally, and, every one present said something to- encourage the movement, and the greatest enthus iasm prevailed. Ever yone said the church must be rebuilt and nearly every one present offered a subscription. It was votflti to open services in the Woodmen's Hall, on Russell street, corner of Rodney avenue, in Upper Alblna, and all the services will be held there next Sun day. The Sunday school will meet at 10 o'clock; preaching at 11; Endeavor Society at 6:30, and preaching again at 7:30. Five other churches had offered to share the use of their edifices tem porarily with the pastor and his people, but the officers thought best to secure permanent quarters at once, and they will meet therefore in the hall regu larly until the new church Is ready. The midweek prayer meeting will be hied at Mr. Pratt'S residence, 304 Fargo etreet, tonight. Slakes Good His Escape. BAKER CITY. Or., Dec. 18. (Special.)
