Chance That Ross Case May
Be Thrown Out of Court
on Technicalities.
ARGUMENTS OF ATTORNEYS
PrftMiae l'r Officer Are ot Re
ftpnnMhta for Art a of Corporation
and That Treasurer May Pe-
poalt "Without Security.
SALEM. Or.. April Jl. (Special.) That
the officers of a bank are not individually
, reponslbli for the i Heps I acts of a cor
poration over which they have charpa
' and that the State Treasurer haa the ripht
:to deposit the irreducible school funds In
banks without security, were the anru-m-nts
act forth today In the Circuit Court
In d-fne of J. Thorbwn Rosa, on trial
for alleged conversion of J2W.0W of state
chool funds.
Mr. - McPamant. attorney for the de
fense, contended that ff a crime was com
mitted it was the a-t of the corporation,
the Title Guarantee Trust Company.
and not of Mr. Ross and the other three
officers of the bank who have been in
dieted witW him. ThA r trip aruni-
mnts upon which Mr. Ross hanps his
dr-fense. At 9 o'clock tomorrow morning
J ud ft Fnrnett will render a decision upon
the sufrlcicncy of these defenses.
Arguments of Prosecution.
Answering these. aricume,nts. Attorney
Manntiw, Fipe and Haney assert that
th constitution expressly prohihlts the
loaning of school funds by any person
except the State land Board; that the
statutes of. the Mate expressly provide
what security must be taken for loans,
and that the Treasurer lias no rijrht to
deposit the school funds in a bank other
wise than as a special deposit for safe
keeping. Mr. Manning argued that a cor
poration is hut an imaginary being, hav
ing no hands and no mind, and therefore
no capacity lo commit the crime of con
verting money. The crime, if any. must
have been.committed by the individual!
who handled the money.
Th arguments thus summarized occu
pied the at ton ton of the Circuit Court all
day today. When the Ross case was
called for trial thta morning the prosecu
tion put Stnte Treasurer Steel on the
stand and asked him what funds he de
posited In the bank of the Title Guarantee
A Trust Company.
fury Is Kxeuaed.
Immediately "Mr. McCamant objected
upon the ground that the indictment
charged that conversion has been com.
mitted by Mr. Ross, and therefore evi
dence that the money was In the cus
tody of the bank will be incompetent.
Irrelevant and Immaterial. As the law
questions go to the foundation of the
case. U was agreed that the Jury
should be excused, and the day was
spent arguing- the questions raised.
McOtmant cited the decision of the
Oregon Supreme Court In the case of
the Metschnn claim Bgainst the Wil
liams & Knglaml Bank, in which the
Court said that the State Treasurer
has a right to deposit funds in a bank
for safe keeping. Attorney pipes de
clared that thla remark by the Su
preme court was obiter dictum, not es
sential to the issue presented In that
case. He also contended that even if
a deposit of funds be made for safe
keeping. It must be in the form of a
special deposit, and not a general de
posit, by whl h the funds become the
property of the bank.
Deposits Argued Necessary.
McCamant also cited numerous decisions
'by courts of other states Molding that
such deposits of public funds may be
made. He asserted that ordinary pru
dence requires adoption of such a policy
for If all the state funds, sometimes
nearly a million dollars, were kept In
the vaults at the capltol there will be
strong temptation to robbers to break in
and steal. Keeping so much money . in
the vaults would injure business by tak
ing the money out of circulation and this
the framers of the constitution could
hot have intended.
Attorney Tipes. for the prosecution,
made a strong argument showing that
from the adoption of the constitution
down to the de:osit law of 1907, the
school funds have been particularly
guarded against loss and have been
known as an irreducible fund. The act of
17. he said, excepts the school funds
from the deposit law, thus clearly in
dicating an intention that they should
not- b deposited in banks.
McCamant averted that & general de
posit subject to check is not a loan in
the sense of the term as used in the
statutes, neither is it a bailment. Pipes
urged that such a deposit is in fact a
loan, while the Constitution and the stat
utes contemplate that the school funds at
all times shall be held as a bailment.
Question I'nder Advisement.
McCamant contended that the state is
protected against loss by the Treasurer's
bond and therefore a reason for prohibit
ing deposits does not exist. Pipes
answered that in the case of public
funds, and especially school funds. 3
double precaution la necotary, the bom
and the penal statute.
Pipes quoted that statutes showing that
the State Iand Board is not permitted
to loan the school funds without speci
fied security and argued that the State
Treasurer alone certainly would not be
permitted to loan them with no security
at all.
Judge Burnett took the question under
advisement until tomorrow morning. At
torneys for the prosecution admitted that
if the ruling should be against them
their case.wUI be at an end.

Children Playing on Edge of Pond.
Little Girl Falls From Log and
Is Unconscious When Play
mate Pulls Her Out.
SEATTLE, Wash.. April 21. (Spe
cial.) Leonard Pettlt. 8 years old, is
the hero of the suburb Columbia, to
day, in consequence of his deed of yes
terday, when he dragged Helen Hyatt,
aged 4. by the hair from a deep pond
and saved her from what would have
been certain death. The little girl was
unconsclo'us when taken from the
water.
' The two children were playing on
the bank and the little girl ventured
out on some logs. She lost her foot
ing and fell between two of the logs
into water six feet deep.
The youthful hero heard her scream
as she fell, and, running to the edge
of the water, crawled out on all fours.
As the little one sank the second time
he went flat on his stomach on the
log, and when she arose seized her by
the hair. She was a heavy burden for
