10 THE MOKM5G OREGON IAN, TUESDAY, APRIL 28, 1908. SECRET PACT OF STEEL Evidence Barred From Trial at Salem Is Brought to Light. BANK STATEMENT FALSE Rom Pocor, Showing m That Tottering Institution May Get Oofftodj of rotate Funds. Mcl Denies Collusion. Much of th evidence pointing to a Secret compact between Banker Rosa and Stale Treasurer Geora-e A- Steel was hut out of the Ross trial In Salem as "trre,lTant." This evidence Is con tufned in lettrs between the two men at th time of the last legislative ses sion. Stet rave Ross frequent In formation in leiters of the progress of Vs-iJfltion on the bills to regulate fesnklna and deposits of state funds. Both Mils were framed to suit the Ross bank. The banking- bill will not be eome operative until next November thin because the Ross bank could not have withstood the teat of Inspection. The deposit bill authorized the State Treasurer to designate a bank In Port land s th state depository, and Mr. Ptecl designated the Ross bank. During the course of legislation. Rous maintained in the Capitol a lobby which communicated with him In Port land In a secret cipher and which made the Stat TreasuroT's office its head quarters. When Ross joined his lobby lor a brief time he made himself at home In that same office. flows Guilty Knowledge. Whether Ross knew that the money lie was wasting In hiffh finance belonged in any part to the school fund Is a question urged In his favor by his attorney. But the jury at Salem deckled that Rofs must iave had auch knowledge and on that around convicted him. The Steel cor respondence to Rosa, during the Legis lative session, made special mention of the school fund In the matter of deposits f state money, saying that If that fund should be exempted from the regulation of other funds which was done "1 am sure we will have cause for congratula tions." In order to qualify as a state deposi tory, u was necessary for Hops to make a statement to Steel of his bank's nnanres. Such a statement would bar out the bank, if it showed wild finances, for fvpi Steel could not have selected a bunco bank to hold the state's money. There fore Rosa made a false statement. Steel says that had he known the statement was "doctored," he would have barred the Ross bank from the state's funds. This statement was rendered at the close of business May 2S, lf7. Three 4,Doctoror Items. Its doctored item are three in number bb follows: "Doctored" True Statement. Ftsui s.

President Ross and Treasurer Burkhart "fixed" the figures so that $117.fW6.S3 of the overdrafts were put with loans and discounts and $74, 613.50 were carried as cash on hand. Ross and Burkhart swore to the truth of this statement before George H. Hill, notary and vice-president of the bank. Steel's "Sure Thing." On of the Steel letters, shut out of the trial at Salem, tells of the highly satis factory progress made on the de-posit bill. After detailing the several pleasing pro visions. It remarked that If the bill should go through in that shape (as it did). 1 am sure we will have cause for con gratulations. (However, the session of the legislature 1s rapidly drawing to a close and we will aoon know what the sure thing looks like. Yours faithfully. Steel.' Ross responded next day with several suggestions for further "fixing" of the hill. "However, aa I have said. I merely call attention to these matters and do not consider them of any great impor tance." Steel's "sure thing' letter was as follows: February 13. 1W7. Hon. J. Thorburn RiA Portland, Or.

There may be aome objection in the House, but 1 do not anticipate much trouble. If any aerloua objections should avrtse, the probabilities are there will be no Mil at all. It may be that the 9100.000 jeearve will be cut down somewhat; and the matter of an "active bank" Is crlti cleed eoniddernble. therefore the change nufta regard ina that feature. instead of saying auch banks shall pay no interest, it is thought beat to say, "the compensation of such active depository Jo be fixed by the State Treasurer upon the best terms obtainable tor the state." You will also observe that the bill provides for onty one 'Active Depository" In the city of Port land, or 6alem. leaving the selection to the State Treasurer.

ST EE I Letter Shows Guilt. It will be noted that Steel made par ticular mention to Ross in this letter, of the achool fund, which was exempted by the terms of the biM from the regula tions of other state funds, and which the Ross bank was to be left free to handle without restraint. 8teel and Ross forgot, however, that the constitution and statute prescribe heavy penalties for handling of the school fund by any other authority than the State Land Board.

Perfect fitting classes 91 at Mi'.sgera SUIT IS FRIENDLY, SAYS FRANK RALEY Irvington Agent Pronounces Adams' Case Merely One Over Commission. TEN PER CENT AGREED ON Later Adams, Raley Declares, Found lie Had Contracted to Cwlve Too Muclw so Desire to Have Court Adjudicate Rate. Allpging that Frank J. Raly. agent for Charles Francis Adams In the sale of Irvington property, has converted L'4.C50 wrT-: "op,: "f47 .ST" V . commissions from the sale of $229,750 worth of property to his own use, Mr. Adams has brought suit in the Cir cuit Court. Adams is ex-president of the Union Pacific Company, controlling a large part of the railroads of the United States. He was in Portland a few weeks ago. The complaint, however, is signed by his son, Henry Adams, although it is made out in the name of the elder man. Adams docs not seek to recover $24.50, being content to obtain the forfeiture of a $10,000 bond put up fr Raley by the United States Fidelity & Guarantee Com pany. The complaint states that the agent sold $229,760 worth of property, be tween June 1 and September 30, 1907, and accounted for only $20-"i,500 worth of it. The title to this land, for convent- ence, says Adams, has been vested in the Security Savings & Trust Company, and the proceeds from its sale were to .be turned over to the bank. When seen last night. Mr. Raley said this was only a friendly suit, in which Adams was seeking to determine wheth er he. should pay his agent 5 per cent commission or 10 per cent. Raley con tends that he entered Into a contract with Adams, who Is in turn the agent for the property -owners, for the most part Easterners, by which he (Raley) was to receive a 10 per cent commission. Ad ams has found, says Raley, that the con tract is too binding upon him, and wants Raley to accept 6 per cent commission. This Raley refuses to do. In order to put himself right with the owners of the land, Raley says, Adams decided to sub mit the matter to the court for adjudi cation. "A part of this land is held by the Se curity Savings & Trust Company," said Mr. Raley last night, "but for the most part the unsold portions are owned by Eastern people. I was in the East dur ing the Winter, and Mr. Adams said he would not take this matter of commis sion up until I returned. True to his word, he was In Portland a short time ago. and we talked the matter over in a friendly way. He wanted me to submit to a reduction of commission, but I could not see it that way. as my contract calls for 10 per cent. He then said that he would submit the matter to the court, and that if I won out, as he hoped and expected I would, he would be placed in the right light before the owners. The only ground he had for bringing "the suit was that he exceeded his authority in drawing up the contract. Joseph Simon Is acting as the attorney for the bank, while I have employed John Logan as counsel.' VEHICLE TAX DECISION SOON Judge Gantenbeln Will Give Impor tant Verdict by Saturday. Attorneys In the suit of George Lang against the City of Portland filed their briefs in the Circuit Court yesterday. Judge Gantenbein said yesterday that he would decide the case not later than Saturday morn ing at 9:30. It is possible It will be rendered tomorrow morning. Long's suit was brought to test the validity of the vehicle-tax ordinance. It was held by attorneys for Long that the city had no right to make collections until after the voters decided at the June election whether or not they were in favor of the new measure. Cltv Attorney Kavanaugh, however, held that the referendum did not ap ply to city ordinances, but only to the state laws. Should Presiding Judge Gantenbein render a decision against the city, it is asserted that the ordi nances passed by the City Council during the past year can very easily be voted down. Anybody could cir culate a petition, and after the re quired number of names was secured, the question would have to be placed on the ballot. GOLDEN" EAGLE DIVIDEND PAID Creditors Surprised to Get 25 Per Cent, Instead or Ten. Major J. P. Kennedy, assignee of the Golden Eagle department store, which under Gus Lowit's management went to the wall September 9, has filed with the Circuit Court his final account. It shows that claims to the amount of $229,616.01 will be paid at the rate of 25 cents on the dollar. The report shows that the gross re ceipts from the wlndup of the Insol vent store's business were? 76.&01.76. The receiver expended $16,2HT.30 of this amount for clerks and incidental expenses, leaving 350,314.46. As the creditors did not expect to obtain more than 10 per cent of the amount due them, the 25 per cent payment came as an agreeable surprise. The receiver vtates ttiat the $103. 107.69 claim of the Oregon Trust dt Savings Bank should be reduced by JS550. This money was advanced at the request of Manager Lo wit until the bank failed and he was left without th opportunity to borrow further funds. May 29 has been set by Judge Oan tenbeln as the day for hearing objec tions of Interested parties to the pay ment of the claims. Attorneys Dolph. Mallory, Simon and Gearln, who were employed as counsel by Major Ken nedy, have been allowed flOOfl for their services by the court, while the receiver will obtain $2o00.

Only a Sale But It Worries Them City Hall Committee of the Execu tive Board Finds. Purchase of One Receptacle Involve Much Tribu lation. "When is a safe matter dangerous?" The members of the City Hall com mittee of the Executive Board are per haps, well qualified just now to answer this question, which has come to be a sort of joke in official circles to all except the committeemen. Recently the Executive Board ordered a safe for City Treasurer Werlein. It was advertised in the official city paper, with specifications, and several bids were received. Then the City Hall committee, consisting of Messrs. Sullivan, Newell and Wilson, got down to work, figuring which company's bid was the lowest and best. Finally, they decided and made their recommendations to the Board and the award was made. Great have been the tribulations of the committeemen since that eventful day. They have been dogged and cursed ever since by rival dealers in safes and have even been accused of discrimination. Yesterday afternoon a communication was received from a rival company, pro testing against the award of the safe contract to the successful company. "And now, said Mayor Lane, "I have a letter from the successful bidders, saying they have no such safe as the specifica tions call for. I will just sign the con tract and let them work out their own salvation." Spring sty les iianan snoea at Rosen thai. E Mayor Threatens Arrest of Future Participants. PUTS IT UP TO POLICE Says He Hex- Not Mind a Joe Guns K.xhibltion, but That He Can not Stand "The Dubs' " Bloodletting. Mayor Lane yesterday announced hU opposition to further hoxln exhibitions In Portland, and while he bas not Issued sn order forbidding them, he expressed his views to Chief of Police Grltxmacher and It la believed this will be sufficient with the head of the police force to cause him to stop any bouts In future. "There have been many complaints f""l V i about the boxing contests already pulled off," said the Mayor yesterday. "I am too busy to referee them to see whether they are strictly amateur. They have made a good deal of trouble already and I do not like it. If they try to box any more, I'll have them arrested, that's all; I won't be bothered with it." Mayor Lane was asked if he would issue an order against boxing, and he re plied that he guessed it was the business of Chief Grltzmacher to look after that. The Mayor said he thought the Chief was weary of the trouble he says has re sulted from the bouts that have been pulled off. "They tell me blood was drawn and some slugging done," said the Mayor. "Now, I am inclined to like to see a scientific boxing contest, with some one like Joe Gans, who knows how without beating his opponent to death, but I do not like to see a couple of dubs get up and- whack each other and make the blood flow."

They are the most important organs, because they filter and purify the blood. The, kidneys strain or filter out the Impurities In the blood that is their work. When your blood Is Impure, nothing can purify it but your kidneys. To overcome these troubles take Dr. Kilmer's Swamp - Root, the world famous kidney remedy.

WORKMAN JS CARELESS Oompany Not at fault, Decides Fed eral Court. Sustaining the contention of the defenne that responsibility for the accident rested with a fellow-servant rather than the construction company, which was being sued. Judge Wolverton in the Federal Court yesterday granted motion of the defense for a nonsuit In the suit of TV 11 llam Hardrath against the Willamette Construction Company for $J0.0OO damages for personal Injuries. The plaintiff had presented his testimony In support of his claim for damages when counsel for the construction company successfully Inter posed hla motion for a nonsuit. In his complaint, Hardrath alleged that while employed by the defendant com pany in the construction of the Oregon Electric Company's railway bridge across the Willamette River, at Wilsonville last Spring, he lost his balance while attempt ing to perform a haxardous tank under the direction of the superintendent of the construction gang, and fell from the struc ture sustaining a fractured skull, a broken arm and three broken ritis. Hardrath charged that at the time of the accident the superintendent was under the Influ ence of liquor and while In that condition directed Hardrath to perform the task which resulted in the accident. Aside from the responsibility of the fello'ff-sevvant, wh'ch was recognized by the court, the testimony of some of the witnesses for the plaintiff was conflicting as to the positions of the plaintiff and the superintendent when the accident hap pened. This circumstance was considered Tltal to the case as fixing the responsi bility of both parties. CONVENTION COMES TO END Interesting Sessions of Multnomah Sunday School Association.
