bae building
deal questioned
Moore Charged With Using
Depositors' Money for
Board of Trade Block.
BIG AMOUNTS ADVANCED
Oregon .Trust Said to Hare Ad-
vanced $8 7,735 Without Secur
ity to Carry on Private ProJ
Ject of Its President.
From the nature of disclosures
brought to light yesterday in connec-
tion with the probing of the Oregon
: Trust & Savings Bank, it is more
than probable that W. H. Moore, presl-
dent of the defunct institution, will be
required to explain certain transac
tions in connection -with the financing
: of the Hoard of Trade Building Com
pany, which started, but did not com
plete, erection of the Board of Trade
building.
Although Receiver Devlin, of the
Oregon Trust & Savings Bank, and
President Reed, of the German-American
Bank, refused to make known the
result of yesterday's findings of the
' experts working on the books, it is
positively known that questionable
practices were resorted to by' some one
In connection with the bank's dealings
with the Board of Trade Building Com
pany, with the knowledge and consent
of Mr. Moore.
The latest sensational charges are
that the building company was formed
bv Mr. Moore, who took advantage of
his official position with .the bank to
use the money of the depositors for his
own private scheme. To carry out this
private enterprise 187, "35.74 of the
bank's money was hypothecated to the
wse of the company. Of this amount
$50,000 was advanced by the bank to
the company without security and the
remaining J37.735.74 was overdrawn by
the company under orders from Mr.
Moore.
Entries in Books Questioned.
To cover the advance of 150,000 it is
charged that false entries were re
sorted to on the books of the bank.
An examination of these books, now
In the hands of the experts, which was
made before the present inquisition
was started, shows that on October 30,
1905. the Board of Trade Building Com
pany opened an account with the bank
with a deposit of $110.75. Krom that
time until June 5. 1906. several small
deposits, none of them amounting to
more than 150. were made.
On June 5. 1906. in the terms Mr. Moore
is afterwards quoted as using with an
attorney, the Board of Trade deal was
financed and the sum of J6O.O0O was hand
ed over to the company. This date bears
an entry on the books to the etfect that
for thlej fictitious loan bonds and warrants
to the value of $50,000 were deposited with
the bank. This la the entry that was
forged, as it la now shown that no secu
rities of any character were given to the
bank for this sum and that this was
merely a subterfuge to cover the transac
tion. No explanation waa obtainable from Mr.
Moore yesterday of these allegations, as
he has been absent from the city for the
past week.
The history of the formation and con
duct of the Board of Trade Building Com
pany is interesting. Mr. Moore's name
did not appear as one of the organizers or
stockholders of the concern. The com
pany was Incorporated by Attorney W.
R. Wilbur, formerly of Hogue A 'Wilbur,
of the Sherlock building, but now of
Wilbur A Spencer, of the Board of Trade
building.
Wilbur Tells of Deal.
Mr. Wilbur was employed by Mr. Moore
to organize the company and held but one
share of ita stock. The other stockhold
ers were a man named Barnard and an
other man whose name was not obtain
able yesterday, but both of whom were
merely acting as dummies for Mr. Moore.
Mr. Wilbur waa most willing to tell of
his connection with the company.
"My connection with the company waa
solely that of a professional character,"
said Mr. Wilbur, yejterday afternoon.
"Further than acting as an attorney in
the organization of the company my in
terest did not extend. I received a fee
for my professional services and did not
know anything about the real condition
of things save what I was told. ' I came
to bo connected with It in this way: I
was banking there at the time and Mr.
Moore approached me one day and asked
m9 if I would form a corporation for
him.
"He explained briefly what the company
proposed to do In the construction of the
building and said that he had made ar
rangements to finance it. I simply went
ahead and formed the corporation as I
had been requested. Mr. Moore and
Cooper Morris both told me that the com
pany had been financed and they said
that I would have one share merely for
purposes of organization. The only peo
ple connected with the company were
Sir. Moore and Mr. Morris. I knew
nothing whatever about their transac
tions or resources. ,
"So far as I knew, Mr. Moore had in
vested a large amount of money in the
concern. In fact at one time in my
presence he said that he had put $40,000
of his own money Into the company. As
near as I can recollect this was paid to
the Hurley-Mason people, the contractors,
at a time when they were stopping the
work on the building because they were
not being paid.
Moore Approved Checks.
"I haven't the slightest knowledge of
the transactions at the bank. I was
elected secretary of the company and In
structed by Mr. Moore to sign the checks
for the payment of the building debts.
My instructions were that the Hurley
Mason Company was to receive the cost
of the building plus 10 per cent for its
work. Once a month their vouchers were
sent 'in to me after they had been In
spected and O. K'd. by a superintendent
especially employed by Mr. Moore to look
Into the contractors' work. I then issued
checks on the bank for these amounts.
"I do not know whether the company
had an account there or not. I, as an
officer of the company, never received a
bank book, and did not know how the
company stood with the bank. All I
know waa that I had been told the,
checks would be honored at the bank, and
they were. I assumed, of course, that
the arrangements at the bank had been
made in a regular way, and, as Mr.
Moore was the real owner of the com
pany, I merely executed his orders.
"Barnard, another stockholder, was a
confidential friend of Mr. Moore. Bar
nard was president of the company; and
virtually all of the stock waa in his
name. The other man, whose name I
do not now recall, was taken in merely
to have three Incorporators under the
requirements of the state law.
"One feature of the Instructions given
me by Mr. Moors was that I was not
to draw any checks until after the bank
had been first notified. The moment
the bank closed and reports came to
me of a condition of afTairs which I had
not believed. I refused further to be
a party to the matter, and notified the
contractors to quit work. The stock
was all held for the benefit of Mr.
Moore, or at least he gave me to under
stand that such was the case. When
the bank failed I signed over the one
share I held to the receiver of the bank.
1 had $1200 on deposit there myself when
the crash came."
That these facts will be submitted to
the Watrict Attorney's office in duo
course of time, and that action will be
taken thereon, are said to be certain.
Work on the books by Lester, Herrick
Herrick is gaining headway dally.
Such information as has been submitted
to the District Attorney's office by At
torney S. H. Gruber. representing a num
ber of creditors who have not yet benn
paid, is still under advisement by As
sistant District Attorney Fitzgerald, who
waa unable to devote any attention yes
terday to the affairs of the defunct bank,
all his time being occupied at a murder
trial in the Circuit Court.
The steps taken by Mr. Devlin plainly
indicate that -his Intention is to hold the
stockholders of the bank liable for the
amount of their unpaid stock. In the
present condition of the bank's books it
is definitely known who were the own
ers of the stock at the time the bank
suspended. That these men may be made
to pay up the amounts of Uielr subscrip
tion Is the opinion or air who are inter
ested In the probing.
FOGS DELAY SHIPPING
COASTING VESSEL EfCOl.MER
THICK WEATHER.
Northland Brings Heavy Cargo.
Argyll Beats Catania In Race.
News of Waterfront.
During the past week, heavy fogs have
prevailed off the coast of Oregon. Wash
ington and California. Coasting steam
ships have experienced considerable dif
ficulty on both north and south passages,
but up to the present time there has ,been
no accident of any kind reported. Cap
tain Canty, master of the oil tank liner
Catania, reports that he was unable to
make an observation after leaving Point
Bonlta until he hauled in and succeeded
In picking up the lightship off the mouth
of the Columbia River. The Argyll and
Northland had a similar experience.
With 1200 tons (measured) of general
cargo, the Northland. Captain Erlckson,
reached Portland at 3 o'clock yesterday
morning. She Is discharging at Couch
street. The vessel had on board one of
the largest cargoes of general merchan
dise ever landed -at a Portland dock by
a steam schooner. Cement formed the
bulk of the cargo, there being 800 tons
of the California product (sacked). The
Northland will load wheat and lumber
for the voyage south.
ARGYLL BEATS THE CATAXIA
Bests Old-Tlrrie RlTal In Voyage
Up Coast From San Francisco.
Rivalry has long existed between the
officers and crews of the steamships Ar
gyll and Catania regarding the speed of
the respective craft. Captain Rennie, in
charge of the Argyll, asserts that thi
superiority of the Argyll over the Catania
was demonstrated on the lost voyage
north from San Francisco. The Catania
sailed at noon Saturday and the Argyll
at 8 o'clock P. M. the same day. Ren
nie states that he was alongside the
lightship several hours before the Catania
came up. The latter vessel crossed in an
hour ahead of the Argyll.
Captain Canty, of the Catania, alleges
that he beat the Union oil packet to the
lightship. At all events the records show
that the Argyll picked up hours on
the Catania on the run north from San
Francisco.
Keeper Ordered! to Mary's Island.
Keeper . Carlson, of the Guard Island
light station. Southeastern Alaska, has
been dispatched to Mary's Island to look
after the light at that point until the
return to duty of Assistant Keeper John
Regan. The latter reported to the office
of the Inspector of the 13th Lighthouse
District from Ketchikan that the light
was ' without a keeper. Regan's wife
died at the lonely station and the assist
ant keeper pulled 20 miles through a
heavy sea to Ketchikan with the body in
order that it might be given a Christian
burial.

to put out flames in the hold.
The Government dredge Oregon will
leave Marshfleld for this port within a
week, for a thorough overhauling pre
paratory to being sent to dredge tho bar
at Gravs Harbor. So many vessels have
been damaged lately while crossing this
bar that it is ervident the Oregon's serv
ices' are much needed there. For that
reason the work of repairing the dredge
will be hurried. The sum of $25,000 is
available for the Grays Harbor Im

GOOD BUYING BY SHORTS
Government Bulletin Shows Dete
rioration of Three Points In Con
dition of Spring Wheat In
August Corn Is Strong.
CHICAGO. ept. 8. General disposition to
await the Government figures on the new
crop of wheat in the United States caused
dullness in the wheat pit all day, the report
not being given out until 15 minutes prior to
the close.
It was expected that the report would
be extremely bullish on corn and would
how a slight deterioration in the condition
of Spring wheat. This tended to create some
anxiety among shorts, who covered moder
ately, all day. giving a fair degree of
strengta throughout the greater part of the
session. The report, when made public con
firmed the fears In regard to the corn crop,,
the loss in condition being estimated at 6.7
points during August, and showed a de
terioration of S points In Spring wheat.
' This caused general demand In the final
minutes of the session with fair advances
in all deliveries. The close was strong at
almost the top. December ranged between
8H.S84V4 and 96 He and closed at 9&9
Expectatlons of a bullish showing of the
Government report on the new crop of. corn
caused firmness In the corn market early
in the day, but later a weak tone developed.
The market gained strength following the
publication of the official crop condition
figures. The market closed strong and only
a trifle below the best with December at
69 c.
Trad in oats was exceedingly dull all
day. The market closed firm with prices
c higher.
The feature of trading in provisions was
a mild flurry in September pork, due to cov
ering by shorts. At the close prices were

I have treated hundreds of men who had long suffered a gradual
decline of physical and mental agony as a result of special ailments,
and have been Interested In noting the marked general improvement
that follows a thorough cure of the chief disorder. My success In cur
ing difficult cases of long standing has made me the foremost spec
ialist treating men's diseases. This success is due to several things.
It is due to the study I have given my specialty; to my having as
certained the exact nature of men's ailments, and to the original, dis
tinctive and thoroughly scientific methods of treatment I employ.
To those In doubt as to their tr-ie condition, who wish to avoid the
serious results that may follow neglect, I offer free consultation and
advice, cither at my office or through correspondence. If your case
is one of the few that have reached an Incurable stage, I will not
accept It for treatment, nor will I urge my services upon any one. I
treat curable cases only, and cure all cases I treat.
Not a Dollar Need Be Paid Until Cured
CONTRACTED AILMENTS.
Every case of contracted dis
ease I treat Is thoroughly cured;
my patients have no relapses.
When I pronounce a case cured
there Is not a particle of Infection
or Inflammation remaining, and
there is not the slightest danger
that the disease will return in
Its original form or work its way
Into trie general system. No con
tracted disorder Is so trivial as to
warrant uncertain methods of
treatment, and I especially solicit
those cases that other doctors
have been unable to cure.
OBSTRUCTIONS My treatment
is absolutely painless, and perfect
results can be depended upon 'In
every Instance. I do no cutting
or dilating whatever.
