BANK'S OFFIGIAUS
APPEAR IH COURT
Rcss and Associates Seek to
Quash the Information
Against Them.
-FIGHT ON TECHNICALITIES
examination of tt'ilnrsscs During
Holidays and Failure to Include
All Names on Information
Grounds for Escape.
Argrument of the motion to quash the
Information brought against J. Thorburn
Ross and other officials of the defunct
Title Guarantee & Trust Company was
lieard by Judcrc Clelar.d in the Circuit
Court yesterday afternoon. Wallace Mo
Camant representing the. indicted officials
and District Attorney Manning, assisted
by M. I Pipes, representing the state,
The motion to quash alleges, first, that
the examination of witnesses was made
by the District Attorney during the va
cation time and on legal holidays; and
second, that the names of all the wit-
nesnes examined by the District Attor
ney do not appear on the information.
These two causes, it is alleged by the
attorneys for the defendants, are suffi
cient to kill the Informations, and cause
the case to be dismissed.
At the Instance of Mr. McCamant the
District Attorney was placed upon the
stand yesterday afternoon to testify re-
MANNINU ANNOYED BY DEI-AYS,
Mr. Manning is very impatient '
over the delays he Is encountering in
bringing th bank defendants to
trial. He said last nlcbt that he'ls
using- all the means in the power of
hla office to hasten the trials, that -the
motions filed and argued yester
day were flimsy and frivolous, so
much bo that It la evident they are
fled for the sole purpose of delaying
and perhaps defeating the ends of
Justice. "If I had my way," said he.
"the Indicted officers of that bank
would be compelled to face trial to
morrow and to go through with the
case without stopping for feed or
water. I think, however, that quih- .
bllng will be exhausted shortly and
that we can have the trials set for
the middle of February and then go
'through with them."
g-ardlns; his method of learning the facts
relating to the indicted officials. He was
' closely questioned by both Attorney Mc
Camant and his assistant, Attorney Al
len. "Tf Mr. Manning interviewed Tom.
Dick and Harry and called them to the
witness stand, he did so at . his- peril,
for there is no reason why Mr. .Ross
should be Indicted at the mere whim of
a prosecuting attorney." said Mr. Mc
Camant. as he started to question Mr.
Manning.
Only Ross on - Ontti. - " .'
The District Attorney said he talked
to nobody about the "bank's affairs ex
cept the officials of the institution them
selves and one of the bookkeepers, this
being In addition to what he had learned
from the state's experts. He said that
he put only Ross under oath and that
they came to htm to make explanations
as to' their alleged crooked conduct about
as often as he sent for them. He said
that Mr. Rankin called at his offUe twice
at his request while he was Investigating
as to whether or not fraud had . been
committed with reference to the school
fund.
"And was that all you were investi
gating?" asked Mr. McCamant.
"T was investigating whatever I could."
replied Mr. Manning, "but I never put
Mr. Rankin under oath in my life. I
also questioned Mr. Steel as to whether
he had made a demand on the bank for
the return of the school money."
"Rankin came to me voluntarily at one
time," continued the District Attorney,'
"and offered to talk about two proposi
tions, the J42.500 bond and a $10,000 check
given by him on a timber deal to a man
by the name of Ireland, of Corvallls. The
check passed through the First National
Rank of Corvallls, but was held up by
the First National Bank at Portland,
which telephoned to Mr. Rankin to come
to the bank.
"I didn't put Mr. Ladd under oath, but
I did put Ross under oath. He came to
me voluntarily. In fact, there, was no
one sworn individually whose .testimony
will be used in this case."
Talked With Mr. Sted.
Mr. Mannlnff said further that he put
Black and Ferguson under oath, but that
he did not talk to E. C. Mears, nor Mr.
Shield about the bank's affairs.
"And what was your purpose In having
Steel come to your office," asked Mr.
McCamant.
"If you want me to explain my side of
the case. I will go Into that," replied
the District Attorney.
Evidently Mr. McCamant .did not want
the District Attorney to enter Into a full
explanation, as he consulted with Mr.
Allen, and proceeded with his questions.
"But don't you want to hear about
Steel?" said Mr. Manning.
"I tblnk I am entitled to a categorical
answer." replied the defendant's at
torney, as he proceeded with his question
ing on other points.
'Did you talk to Lafe Pence?" asked
Mr. McCamant.
"He came to me one day and asked if
he could go to California," replied Man
ning. "I told him he could if he had
enough to pay his fare."
"And do you expect to have him here?"
"No, I have no use for him. I don't
need him."
Argument of the motion followed in
which the defendants' attorneys con
tended that the District Attorney is sub
ject to the same limitations as the grand
jury was before the enactment at the last
Oregon Legislature of a statute concern
ing powers of District Attorneys. The
grand Jury, it was contended, could not
find an Indictment during a vacation, and
as the District Attorney testified that he
made up his mind that the defendants
were guilty before tho close of the vaca
tion period, he had violated the provisions
of the statute. -On this point Mr. Pipes
contended, however, that the powers of
the District Attorney are .of greater ex
tent than those of a grand Jury, in that
he may Indict whether a court is !n ses
sion or not. while the grand Jury could
not alt except during a court term.
Only Way to Catch Criminal!!.
The District Attorney had no right, de
clared Mr. A'len. to examine persons
who may be called as witnesses except
It be done by placing them under oath
and to the exclusion of all persons from
the room except the sworn witnesses.
Mr. Manning had previously said that Mr.
Pipes was not present when he had ques
tioned persons who knew of the Inner
workings of the defunct bank. Mr. Pipes
contended that it is often necessary to
secure information before placing per
sons under oath, and that if this were
not permitted no criminals would ever be
brought to Justice.
To the contention of Mr. Allen that the
names of all persons examined in con
nection with the affairs of the bank must
be entered on the information, Mr. Pipe
replied that this was ont necessary, that
the law provided the District Attorney
might do so if he chose, but that he
would not be compelled to, and that he
would only be deprived, of testimony of
witnesses whose names .he did not enter.
As to the legality of the acts of the Dis
trict Attorney during the holidays, Mr.
Prpes called the attention of Counsel Mc
Camant and Allen to the fact that Judge
Cleland heard arguments during the holi
days, and rendered his decision at their
expiration.
Judge Cleland has not yet given his
decision in regard to the motion of the
defendants, but will doubtless do so in a
few days.
AGAINST GUS C. M0SER
KiRlith-Ward Republican Central
Committee Will Not Indorse Him.
Eighth Ward Republican Central Com
mittemen met last night and formally
adopted the statement of principles pub
lished January 5.
After this action the attention of thte
members was directed to the candidacy
of Gus C. Moser for the Republican nomi
nation of District Attorney, and resolu
tions condemning his candidacy were
adopted. The members say that the ac
tion was' taken without ariV , knowledge
on Mr. Moser's part and solely in the line
of their duty, as. they believe ft to be
for the best interests of the party. After
considerable discussion, .the following res
olutions were passed:
Whereas, Gus C. Moser has publicly -announced
his candidacy for District Attor
ney on the Republican ticket, and tn view
of the statement of principles adopted by
the Eighth Ward central committeemen, it
will be necessary for the,m to indorse Mm
as one of the satisfactory candidates before
voters in the primaries, or refuse to do
so, and
Whereas. Said platform calls for fair and ,
square dealing with candidates and voters.
reBardless of our personal regard and
esteem for Mr. Moser as a private citizen,
and for prompt and forceful exercise of our
duties as Republican committeemen, it be
comes proper and fair that he should be
publiclv informed through the press of our
position before he incurs exaense with any
expectation of our indorsement hereafter:
therefore be It
Resolved. That the Eighth Ward Repub
lican Central Committee refuse to Indorse
or recommend to voters, the candidacy of
Guj C. Moser for District Attorney, upon
the ground that his Republican " record is
unsatisfactory and that indorsement of such
record is prejudicial to the best interests
of the Republican party and of all compe
tent and satisfactory candidates in the
party who may in due time seek Its nomi
nation to said office.
The clauses of the platform of the
Eighth Ward Republican Central Commit
teemen under which this action was taken
are as follows:
That an investigation should be made In
dependently, and a- showing demanded from
all candidates at the primaries for each
office to be voted for in these respects, viz:
(a) Honesty and standing as a man.
(b) Qualifications 'and competency to fill
the office souyht.
c Residence in the state not less than
two vears.
d Residence, in the precinct not less
than six months, or if removed within that
time, thcnln the precinct removed from six
months, if same Is In Multnomah County.
(e) That the candidacy is not entered
upon to force concessions from successful,
competitors In the primaries.
(ti Republican record.
That after a satisfactory showing of said
matters, the committee shall indorse and
recommend all such candidates for each
office to the earnest and .fair consideration
of Republican voters at the primaries and
shall refuse such indorsement and recom
mendation to all others.
It Is the sense of this branch of the cen
tral committee that the full confidence of
voters can be best gained by bonfe. fide and
persistent efforts to raise the general stand
ard of candidates at the primaries, and giv
ing of tellahle information concerning them
to the voter. In accomplishing this the
committee abandonslts former attitude and
policy of negation." step-softly, speak-low,
off er-excuse-f or-actlon - or-posltlon-at-all-tlmes-and-places,
in favor of a manly, de
cided, aggressive and responsible policy as
herein stated, and fearlessly hew to the line,
for the honor of good citizenship and of the
Republican party.

Mistaken for Prosecutor.
P. S. Loop, a San Francisco lumberman,
is a guest of the Portland Hotel. He was
sitting In the office rotunda reading a
newspaper yesterday when another man

these daye, eh?"
"Oh, yes, sir; I find business pretty
brisk In our line," replied the San Fran
ciscan. .
"Well, I'll be durned," ejaculated the
newcomer, after taking a more careful
look at Mr. Loop; "I thought I was talk

"Oh, that's all right, my friend," retort
ed the lumberman; "I have often been
mistaken for the noted prosecutor. , Not
long ago I was In a streetcar in my home
town of San Francisco' and a son of the
Emerald Isle sat opposite me for a long

LAD D NAMES MAN
Chooses R. S. Howard, Jr., for
Receiver of Title Bank.
WILL PETITION U. S. COURT
If, as Expected, Request Is Favor-
ably Acted Upon When It Comes
Vp Next Monday, E. ' C.
, Mears Will Step Down.
TV. M. Ladd has decided to petition
the Federal Court to name R. S. How
ard, Jr., as receiver for the Title Guar
antee & Trust Company. Thfs request
will be filed with the Federal Court
next Monday and It is expected that It
will be acted on promptly. In view of
Mr. Ladd's relations towards the af
fairs of the defunct bank, there is lit
tle doubt that the petition will be fav
orably considered.
Mr. Howard, if appointed by the
court, will replace E. C. Mears, who was
named by Judge Wolverton some time
ago to succeed George H. Hill, the
original receiver. Mr. Howard Is at
present assistant cashier in the bank
of Ladd & Tilton, where he has been
employed since 1895. He has been a
resident of Portland for 21 years and
la widely known here, as is his father,
R. S. Howard, Sr.
The proposed naming of Mr. Howard
as receiver is in no way a reflection
on Mr. Mears, who is now in charge of
the bank's affairs. When Mr. Ladd un
derwrote the bank's accounts, It was
understood that he would ask for a
receiver of hie own choosing. This is
In harmony with the arrangement
whereby Mr. Ladd will have supervis
ion of the assets of the Title Guaran-
sf- . w
K. 8. Howard, Jr., Who Will Prob
ably Succeed B. C. Mears as Re
ceiver of Title. Guarantee 6 Trust
, Company. . .
tee & Trust Company under his guar
antee that all depositors shall be paid
in full within three years.
It has been reported that the effects
of the Title Guarantee & Trust Com
pany will be removed from the- Com
mercial building, at Third and Wash
ington streets, to the bank of Ladd &
Tilton and the business of adjusting
the accounts of the institution carried
on at that place. This was denied last
night by Mr. Howard, who said that.
If liis appointment was brought about.
It waa his Intention to carry on the
receivership at the present location. .
Stage Villain Proves a
Real Hero
Gut Usher, of Texai Outlaw"
Company, Instrumental In Savins;
Seattle Girls Who Left Home.
WHEN is a villain not a villain?
The answer to the question Is
sometimes hard to find, yet Mrs. Lola
G. Baldwin found a sheep In wolfs
clothing the other day when James
Guy Usher, who plays the part of the
villain In the "TexaB Outlaw," called
her up by telephone to make an ap
pointment. He had some "very Im
portant business," which must be at
tended to right away.
At the appointed hour the "villain"
appeared, telling the secretary of the
Travelers' Aid Department of the Y.
W. C. A. how two Seattle girls bad
become sweet on him and had kept up
a running correspondence. In which he
at first participated. At last the sen
timent of the letters became so ardent
that Usher began to scheme for some
means of putting the girls right, and
his decision to tell the story to Mrs.
Baldwin was reached when a letter
from the girls told him to meet them
at the Union Depot In Portland. Thla
he did, securing rooms for them at a
first-class hotel, and Immediately
notifying Mrs. Baldwin, who com
municated with their parents in Seat
tle. Now the girls have been returned to
their homes, the name of Usher re
mains untarnished and a stage "vil
lain" has become a hero.

Executive Board Will Appraise New
Franchise Asked For.
A franchise sought by the National Au
tomatic Fire Alarm Company was yes
terday ordered sent to the Executive
Board for appraisement, by the streets
committee of the Council. It will then
be returned to the committee, and will
receive further attention. At first. It
appeared that there would develop suf
ficient opposition to defeat the measure

now seem brighter, and it may pass the
Council.
The franchise Is, declared by Council
man Kellaher and others to be one of
the most valuable ever asked of the city.
As to its final disposition. It Is said that
much depends upon the valuation placed
upon it by the Executive board. That
the franchise, if granted, should return
to the city a good portion of the gross re
ceipts of the company. Is the firm belief
of several members of the committee, and
It Is believed that such members will In

Coffee Finally Had to Go.
The way some persons cling: to cof
fee even after they know it is doing;
them harm. Is a puzzler. But it ts an
easy matter to give it up for good,
when Postum Food Coffee is properly
made and- used Instead.
A girl writes: "Mother had been
suffering: with nervous headaches for
seven weary years, but kept drinking;
coffee.
"One day I asked her why she did
not give up coffee as a cousin of mine
had done who had taken to Postum.
But mother was .such a slave to coffee
she thought it would be terrible to
give it up.
"Finally, one day, she made the
change to Postum, and quickly her
headaches disappeared. One mofning
while she was drinking Postum so
freely and with such relish, I asked
for a taste.
"That started me on Postum and I
now drink it more freely than I did
coffee, whigh. never comes into our
house now.
"A girl friend of mine, one day, saw
me drinking Postum and asked if It
was coffee. I told her it was Postum
and gave her some to take home, but
forgot to tell her how to make It.
"The next day she said she did hot
see how I could drink Postum. I
found she had made it like ordinary
coffee. So I told her how to make it
right and gave her a cupful I made,
after boiling it 15 minutes. She said
she never drank any coffee that tasted
as good, and now coffee is banished
from both our homes."
