Ul
Experts' Investigation Reveals
Wildcat Revels With De
positors' Money.
CONCERN NEVER SOLVENT
Accounts Juggled and Funds Placed
In Every Sort of Kisky Scheme.
President Ross Kept Bible and
Prayer Book at Right Hand.
So bad is the wreck of the bank of
the Title Guarantee & Trust Company,
so tangled are the accounts, so ex
travagant and incompetent was the
management and so shameless was the
breach of depositors' confidence, of
bankers' ethics, and of people's law,
that the uncovering of the bank's sins
has ceased to amaze and almost ceased
to surprise. The bank is hardly better
than a pile of junk. U possesses no
capital and Is full of "old hoss" ac
counts. It is no exaggeration to say
that the Institution never drew a sol
vent breath. During its orgy of high
finance, its president kept in his office
a Bible and a hymn book.
The accounts show that practically
every investment the bank made with
gold of depositors turned into dust
and blew away. They reveal no
profits from any of the ventures, ex
cept "enhanced values," which the
bank's officers padded every once In a
while to the price tags of the assets.
Irrigon scheme. Pence flumes, electric
power investment, prune and logging
deals, mining ventures, all become like
the wind the bank was made of. while
the money of depositors was strewn
about. Under an ordinary receiver
ship it Is doubtful if the bank would
pay out 80 cents on the dollar. Under
the Ladd management it will probably
do considerably better. But for the
ladd guarantee of the . bank's debts,
depositors would suffer the heaviest
loss ever brought down by a Portland
bank on the heads of a trusting public.
Expert's Report Nearly Ready.
A report of the sins of the bank will
be made, possibly at the end of this
week, by the . accountants who have
been prying Into the books for two
months past E. H. Collls, to the Fed
eral court, and J. W. Ferguson, to
District Attorney Manning. The two
men are collaborating on the report
under rush orders of Judge Wolver
ton. who Instructed last week that the
accounts be brought to a focus.
While the contents of the coming
report have not been divulged, enough
Is known to make evident the fol
lowing main facts:
The savings bank was organized In
1904, with only wind, water and jawbone
for capital, and In that condition went
to smash November 6, 1907.
Much of the time the bank was paying
out more Interest on its debt than it was
taking In on loans the interest payments
being made out of depositors' money.
During the last year Ross carried no
'check account of his own, but drew out
whatever sums he pleased, from the
teller's cash, without entering them In
th. teller's account. His own accounts,
which are believed to contain the items,
be has refused to release.
The bank's losses will foot up fully
ITfiO.OOO for the five years of Its career.
Of this loss t26O,O0O was entailed by the
Irrigon project; $100,000 by the electric
light Investment at Sllverton; 66.000 by
the Goldbug mining syndicate near Glen
dale, Southern Oregon; $16,000 by the
livens Ledge Mining Company, near
Riddles; J100.000 or $160,000 by the Pence
ventures: $36,600 by prune investments in
Clark County, "Washington, and Marlon
County, Oregon, and other big sums by
enterprises of various sorts, many of
which cannot be traced on the books.
Details of Irrigon Project.
. One of the suposed chief assets,
bonds of the Oregon Land & Water
Company ("Irrigon project), are be
lieved to be worthless. These bonds to
the par value of $255,000 the bank
bought at 80 cents and Immediately
listed them at 100 cents, crediting the
. Increase to "suspense" account, as com
mission. Ross bought some of the bonds
through his dummy, W. W. Reld, on
January 12, 1907. for $2960 (with the
hank's money, through an overdraft.
. Reld having no deposit), and two days
later sold the bonds to the bank for
I40S0. crediting that sum to Reid; on
March 1, Ross bought more bonds
through Dummy Reld for $6800 also
with bank's money) and two weeks
later sold them to the bank for $8500.
Ross netted $2820 for himself In the
two transactions.
The company had a .monthly ex-
pensn of $12,000, which, together with
the heavy losses, ate up what resources
it possessed.
Ross was working with State Treas
urer Steel for control of the deposit
and bank legislation of the last ses
sion of the Legislature and letters ex
changed by them on the subject are ex
tant. The bank made fraudulent state
ments of its finances both to the state
and to the public. On May 20, 1907,
the bank was carrying $200,000 over
drafts, but in its statement of that
date, upon which it solicited business. It
hid $121,000 of such accounts In loans
and discounts and $S2,O0O as cash on
hand, the latter being an overdraft for
that amount, made on the bank by the
general department of the company.
The bank Invested and sunk large
uma of state school fund money, con
trary to law. which declares only the
State Land Board shall Invest the
school money. .
That Famous Suspense Account.
Worst of all the accounts Is that
entitled "suspense." ' This originally
was carried as an "old hoss" account.
Into whch were dumped doubtful ac
counts, to remain there until It should
be demonstrated they were no good.
But later, through the versatile genius
of the bank's officers, the account
turned Into a purported asset. Into this
account were turned anticipated profits,
enhanced values, legal fees earned but
not collected and inflations of many
sorts. In a most amazing way. By this
system the bank gave the account a
credit balance, from which the officers
drew for their scheme and evidently
In several cases for their personal uses.
1 MImd you, they drew nothing bsrt fig
ures from this suspense account, since
they put nothing but figures into it.
But they took the figures Into the
aults. where the money etore "of de
positors was kept, and carried away
their measure of coin. December 31,
1904. Treasurer T. T. Burkbart obtained'
$8000 in this manner, by drawing on
the suspense account for the figures
and on the deposits for the money. On
February 29. 1903. he obtained $2000 In
the same way. Whether the money was
drawn for his personal use or for that

PLUNGE THROUGH WINDOW
Runaway Horses Startle Employes
of Printing-Shop.
With a crash that, could be beard
blocks away, two runaway horses yester
day afternoon, in an attempt to turn the
corner at Second and Salmon streets.
plunged Into 'the plate glass windows of
the store occupied by A. E. Kearn & so.t
printers, smashing the windows which
measure seven by four feet into thousands
of bits and terrifying the employes of the
place. . The frightened horses when
brought to a standstill stood trembling
with their fore feet Inside the store and
their hind feet on the sidewalk.
Miraculously neither of the horses bad
received a scratch. Inside the store. Otto
Doehrtng, one of the printers, whose ma
chine was situated close to the window,
was out about the face by the flying
glass. The damage to the window
amounted to $150. The runaway team be
longs to a Mr. Nickum of Beaverton. It
is a large, powerful pair of bays and UBed
for heavy hauling. They were driven
yesterday by a Chinese who gave his
name as Jim.
The wagon was empty and was on Its"
way down Second street when the ani
mals took fright at a streetcar at Clay
street. They dasbed off full speed, the
driver being unable to curb them. The
street was crowded and the flight of the
team was a signal for a hurried scram
bling. In its flight, the wagon grazed a street
car, tilting the vehicle and throwing the
driver to the ground. Unhurt, he got up
and pursued his charge.
Another runaway which occurred at
Second and Couch streets an hour before,
seriously Injured a horse owned by Gus
tav Newman of 60 North First Btreet.
Police Seek Owner of
Automobile No. 535
He Is Wanted for Vain- PnbMc
Street a Gamin Others to Be
Arrested- for Various Infractions.
DO YOU own automobile No. 6367
If you do you are "pinched." The
police are looking for you high and low,
and intend to land you before tonight.
You will be able to claim the doubtful
honor of being the first man to suffer
arrest under the new ordinance regulat
ing automobiles. The warrant for your
arrest was sworn to yesterday by Pa
trolman Welch, and while they were
looking for you yesterday you must bave
been out of town for a spin.
Do you remember leaving your go-cart
out in front of a residence at the cor
ner of Williams avenue and Hancock
streets night before last? That is what
they are after you for. Under the new
ordinance auto owners cannot make the
public streets do service as auto sheds.
A garage on private property is required.
The man who leaves his auto stand out
all night is reasonably sure of being re
ported by the officer on the beat.
Other arrests, too, are to follow.
Deputy City Attorney Tomlinson has
quite a list of numbers which will be
placed on warrants as soon as they can
be verified. One auto will be arrested
before the end of the week for rounding
the corner of Sixth and Yamhill streets
at a speed greater than six miles an
hour. Under the new law every auto
must round the corner at a snail's pace
inside the city limits. Ten miles an hour
Is the maximum speed while traveling In
a straight line.
The woods are full of policemen. Auto
tags are easily seen, too, and the reck
less automobile owner, after., this, is
llkelv- to have his path bestrewn with
painful thorns.
The owner of No. 535 had best - carry
$26 around in his pocket today, as that
will be the sum of hlB bail when ar
rested. At the Theaters

At the Marquam Theater for the week be

There Is little. If any, doubt that
this play has- had no equal as an exponent
of the life and habits of the old New Eng
land, in the days when puritanical notions
were of themselves a law unbending and un
compromising. Beside the heart-touohlng ro
mance that la the central Idea In the play,
the whole production brings vividly into view
the simple and wholesome life our forefath
ers, and some of our descendants, practiced,
and still practice, in the old communities
where family honor transcends all other
considerations.

CUBS' FOOD
TTiey Thrive On Grape-Nats.
Healthy babies don't cry and the
well-nourished baby that is fed on
Grape-Nuts is never a crying baby.
Many babies who cannot take any other
food relish the perfect food, Grape
Nuts, and get well.
"My little baby was given up by
three doctors who said that the con
densed milk on which I had fed her had
ruined the child's stomach. One of the
doctors told me that the only thing to
do would be to try Grape-Nuts, so I got
some and prepared it as follows: I
soaked 1H tablespoonfuls in one pint of
cold water for half an hour, then I
strained off the liquid and mixed 12
teasponfuls of this strained Grape-Nuts
Juice with six -teaspoonfuls of rich
milk, put in a pinch of salt and a
little sugar, warmed it and gave it to
baby every two hours.
"In this simple, easy way I saved
baby's life and have built her up to
a strong, healthy child, rosy and laugh
ing. The food must certainly be per
fect to have such a wonderful effect aaj

the best foot In the world to raise deli

healthful food for grown-ups as we

primaries two years ago, I went to
work for the Republican ticket and for
the election of Mr. R. L. Stevens. My
work was gratuitous. The deputyship
was ottered me, and my friends Insist

"I will be a candidate for the office
of Sheriff In the coming Republican pri

I will work for the successful candidate
and the Republican ticket."
Trnnk Found on Sidewalk.
The police last night took charge of a
trunk which was found on the sidewalk
in front of the O. W. P. station at First
and Alder streets. Policeman O'Brien
noticed that the trunk had been standing
there for a long time and on making in
quiry from the ticket agent, learned that
it had been there for more than a week
past. The agent said that evidently it
had been brought there Instead of to the
freight-house of the railway, and as no
baggage was accepted at First and Al
der, It had remained there unclaimed.
The trunk is marked W. E. Smith,
Gresham, Or. It is being held at the po
lice station for the owner.
