Oregon Trust Funds to That Amount Disappeared in a Night. feRAND JURY MAY INDICT Jlr"Otors of Wildcat Bank Will Probably Be Held Responsible for Reckless Iooting of Depos itors' Cali in Final Report. Aftr spend''" the day yesterday delv ,1ns into the mysterious disRppearance of l:-O00O in eaah which was taken from the '.bank In one night, and which has never 'been accounted for. the grand Jury which lis devoting its entire time to probing into the wreck of the Oregon Trust and Sav ings Bank, was forced to adjourn for the dy without having come toany conclu sion as to who took tills enormous sum of (the depositors' money. I Witnesses were examined, even the I teller who ha.I charge of the blotter on ! which the record ot the bank's total cash was kept, but no information was secured 'which threw any light upon this apparent 'th'ft and one of the most sensational 'features of the Investigation. During the day W. Cooper Morris, the ! cashier, now living In Tacoma. was in :formed that he might appear before the '.grand Jury If he wished. No reply from ilr. Morris has yet been received. When the time comes it If quite probable that all of the directors will be given the oppor tunity of either voluntarily appearing be fore the grand Jury or of being subpe n&ed. Although no evidence showing who had got away with th? J50.0OO was brought out. some evidence with reference to the unlawful handllns -f the savings depos it and the general deposits developed which makes :he situation look all the more disagreeable for the directors. All Funds Were Jumbled. Ixmg Sweek. who had appeared the flay before, and who were attorneys for the bank, produced a copy of the bylaws of the defun't institution, which had been distributed for the pubiic to read, with the evident Intention of creating confi dence in the institution. Among these rules It was stipulated that all savings deposits were to be kept absolutely sep arate from the general deposit, segre gated in the bank, and invested only In municipal bonds or In real estate first ;mortguges. Teiler Smith, who testified ithe day before, was recalled to show that all the money in the bank was indiscrimi nately mixed up and drawn upon as needed. ' "All money looked alike to me," Is the way Smith Is said to have described the case. He said that he had received no orders to segregate the funds, and that all checks had been paid out as they were presented, until the money was exhaust ed. Some of the funds were paid out upon checks written by officials of the bank. Receiver Devi n was called upon to pro duce the blotter of the bank upon the date on which Hie JjO.oh) disappeared. He provided this document, which la a tell ers statement of the bank's cash. llr. Smith, after ses ng the entry, said that It was not In his handwriting and that It had been made by another teller. H. A. Graves, now in California. Mr. Smith eays that this entry had been made at night, after he had left the bank, and that he inquired about it the next morning and that some one In authority over him had given what he supposed was a satisfac tory explanation of the entry. It has also been shown that apparently $76,000 of the personal notes of Mr. Moore and Mr. Morris were withdrawn upon this same day. without security being placed In their stead. This caused the Jury to ask many questions. Bank Was XeTer Solvent. From the evidence shown by the experts ,he bank was Insolvent from the day it 'opened Its doors, and upon this one Item alone it is. believed that the Inquisitorial body will return a finding against the ; directors. This fact Is said to have made a great Impression upon the Jury, the legal opinion upon it being that all of the directors who may have served at any time during the history of the bank may be held responsible, as the laws requiring solvency are very strict. The question of whether any of the charges brought against the bank offi cials have been outlawed has also been considered by the Jury, and the only dif ficulty found by the lapse of time before beginning the investigation is the loss of papers which might have been produced at the time the bank failed, and of which there Is now apparently no trace. Among these are the minutes of the board of directors and the record of the stock transfers. The disappearance of the min utes of the board, the District Attorney's office points, out. is an indication that there are recorded in them some data which might reflect upon this body and that the record was remove purposely. Some of the witnesses have also moved into other states, but In other respects the prosecution of the bank officials. If bills against them are found, is not liable to be Impeded In any way by the limitation of statutes. A number of bank employes have been summoned to appear before the Jury to- 'lay for the purpose of assisting the Jury .to a more perfect understanding of the falsified and other entries presented to 'them by the experts.

SQUIRES IS HOT GUILTY FORMER WIFE'S CHARGE OF AS SAULT FAILS. Rose City Park Man Proves He Was Home When Woman Was Palled Through Window. Harry Squires, the horseowner, who was arrested for assaulting his former wife, now Mrs. Jay KlmDall. who has married a railroad engineer, was tried and ac quitted yesterday afternoon before Jus tice Olson. The case began at 2 o'clock and was not finished until nearly 7 o'clock last night. Mrs. Kimball was seized by the neck and dragged from the window of. her house. 754 Missouri ave nue, at 3 A. M.. on Saturday last. Her assailant then" threw her upon the ground and beat her. Mrs. Kimball declared to Constable Wagner, who responded to the call for police, that her former husband had done the deed. She said that because of the visit of her son, a young man of 20. Sauires had grown Jealous of the young man's preference for his mother, and had visited her and made threats. Yesterday afternoon Mrs. Kimball swore she plainly saw Squires on the night of the assault. Squires produced his pres ent wife, his niece and two other people who swore that Squires was In his house at Rose City Park on the night and hour of the assault. The attorneys for the defense attempted to make It appear that the injuries upon Mrs. Kimball were seir infllcted and that the charge against her former husband had been brought out of spite. Both Mrs. Kimball and Squires admitted they had rot spoken to each other for more than 19 years. Dr. Mc Cueker said that Mrs. Kimball could not have inflicted the marks she bore. The alibi established by Squires' was open to a little doubt, said Justice Olson. but as the prosecution had not shown a very strong case, he decided in favor of the accused man. INFORMALMUSICALE.

PORTION WILL BE PARK Larger Part of Property, However, Will Be Converted Into Ceme tery Streetcar Line to Be Extended. The land at Mount Scott, owned for some yeare by H. W. Scott, has been sold to a syndicate, which will use it, as is understood, partly for a centetery and partly for an amusement park. The tract consists of 9135 acres and is .. .- . V7 sold for 250 an acre. Eighty acres of the tract He in Multnomah County and 256 acres in Clackamas. The tract Is a -ery sightly one. While a park will be the use to which a part of the tract will be de voted, about SOO acres will eventually be converted into a cemetery. The park portion will be the 35 or 40 acres lying on the summit of Mount Scott. This tract la unsuited for cemetery pur poses, but even in Its present state is a kind of natural park, lying at an ele vation of about 800 feet and providing a view of the city, the Willamette River and surrounding country net sur passed, and by some thought not equaled, by the view from Cduncil Crest. Extension of Carline. It is the intention of the syndicate to extend the streetcar line from the Junc tion of the Mount Scott and O. W. P. lines to the cemetery and eventually up the winding ravine to the shelf that stands about 200 feet below the sum mit of the proposed park. This line will loop back another way. forming another scenic route in Portland's street railway system. Several of Portlanl's best-known business men have become interested in the enterprise, being aware of a need for a cemetery conducted on mod ern lines far enough away from the business and residence sections to In sure against encroachment by the city's rapid growth. For the purpose of purchasing the tract the Mount Scott Park Cemetery Corpora tion has been formed and will start de velopment work Immediately. The first portion to be improved will be the 80 acres lying in Multnomah County. On this tract will be provided the entrance and administration buildings for the cemetery. There also will be constructed a modern building, combining a chapel, receiving vault and modern crematory. An extensive water system will be pro vided, for which a reservoir will be neces sary. This reservoir will be constructed in the form of a lake. A standpipe is to be erected at a high elevation and an ob servatory built In the park. In laying out the park and cemetery the best local scenic architects will be employed and probably an Eastern man will be called in for consolation. Will Have Maintenance Fund. The plans of the corporation provide for a compulsory maintenance fund which will be devoted to .perpetual care of all the lots in the cemetery. The company will establish Its own nursery and hot houses for the purpose of supplying shrub bery and flowers for beautifying the grounds. More than $250,000 will be devoted to the development of the tract and the first" portion to be opened will be ready for use next Summer. It Is estimated that Portland's cemetery requirements will make the opening of ten acres necessary annually, on an aver age, so that the 300 acres to be' devoted to that purpose will fill requirements for the next 30 years. The corporation has opened offices in the Ablngton build ing with H. R. Reynolds as manager. "We have been investigating for some time the methods employed by the best cemetery associations and corporations In the United States." said Mr. Reynolds yesterday, "and are preparing to de velop our tract in accordance with the most improved methods in the larger cities. The traot selected is undulating and in topography, sightliness, soli and drainage Is especially adapted for the purpose. The streetcar lines are now within one-half to three-fourths mile of the tract and we shall extend a line our selves to the cemetery entrance. There Is a good reason Just at present for with holding the names of all the persona In terested in the enterprise, but they will be announced within a few days."

Prevent and Relieve Headache "It gives me great pleasure to be able to refer to Dr. Miles" Anti-Pain Pills as the best rem edy we have yet had in- our house for the prevention and cure of headache. My wife who has been a constant sufferer for a number of years with above complaint joins me in the hope that they may fall into the hands of all sufferers." JOHN BUSH, Watervleit, Me.

I have ..tried many other rem edies, but have never found any better." JOSEPH FRANKOWICK. 854 Trombly A v., Detroit, Mich. There is no remedy that will more quickly relieve any form of headache than Dr. Miles' Anti-Pain Pills. The best feature of this re markable remedy is the fact that it does not derange the stomach or leave any disagreeable after effects. Druggists everywhere sell them. If first package fails to bunefit, your drug gist will return your money. MILES MEDICAL CO., Elkhart, Ind. IX CALIFORNIA'S Best Fruit. Alfalfa and Stock Growing Hectlon. Rich, Leop Koll Irrigated.

Several days ago rumor had it that young Thorp had enlisted In the Navy and was assigned to the cruiser Philadelphia in the Bremerton Navy-Yard. Investigation on the part of the parents proved nothing beyond the fact that a youngster of a similar name was aboard the training ship. What prompted Thorp to leave home and remain silent 'since his departure from there has been the source of ad ditional worry to his parents. No com munication of any nature from him has been received by them or the youth's sweetheart who resides in Gresham. The latter avers that no quarrel arose between Thorp and her which might serve as an incentive for his disappearance and pro longed silence.
