DEFALCATION ALSO CHARGE Juggling of Fund by Officers Said to ConMltule Embezzlement in Eyes of Probers IVposltors, Too, Will Be Summoned. That the directors of the wrecked Ore gon Trust & Savings Pank will be In dicted by the grand Jury Is now regarded as a certainty. It b believed a true bill will be found ngalnat them for continu ing In business when tho bank was anil always had been In an Insolvent condi tion. It Is aUo believed all the direc tors of the institution will be included In the final return of the Jury, as the banlc has been found Insolvunl from tho first day of Its career, go that not only th directors who were servina; at thy lime the bank closed Its doors, .but others who had preceded them will prob ably be Included In the Indictments. In addition to the directors, it if also believed separate Indictments will be brought against officers of the bartK for embezzlement. Krom the facts brought out so far by the Investigation, the grand Jury. It la said, U inclined to regard the lulling of funds in the cases of the Board of Trade building, tho Golden Eagle Dry Goods company, the Pacific & ICaatern Railroad, the with drawal of the personal notes of Presi dent Moore and Cashier Morris, as em bezzlement, as well as the disappearance of a certain $50,000, tho recipient of which has not yet been brought to light. The grand Jury occupied only half a day yesterday in the consideration of this case. Receiver Devlin, John Y. Richardson, tho book expert, and John Annand. Councilman and manager of tho Postal Telegraph Company, were tho witnesses. The latter was summoned to tell of tho telegram said to have been sent by Moore to Morris when the latter was away trying to raise funds to keep tho bank afloat. This telegram, say Mr. Devlin and others, was a request for Morris to send back the securities he had. but to remain away himself. Mr. Annand was unable to throw any light upon the message as the company de stroys Its files after the expiration of six months. It was also brought out that the clear ing house had Investigated the bank upon an appeal for financial assistance and had refused aid owing to the rotten con dition which had been found there. A telegram has been sent to Oakland, Cal., asking for the attendance of H. A. Graves, tho absent teller, who will be asked to tell what ho knows about tho 150,000 and who got It. D. D. Darlln. the former bookkeeper for the Golden Eagle, has been located and will prob ably appear before the Jury today. It also has been decided to summon a number ' of depositors who placed money In the bank during the Inst few days of Its existence. A list of these has been secured and word sent them by tho bailiff of the Jury that their testimony Is wanted. It will be shown by them that even when it was known tho bank could not last, money was taken as deposits as fast as It was brought In without warning to the vic tims or any Intimation that a deposit carried with it any of tho risk which, existed. S YENNEY STATES POLICY 31 ILK INSPECTION DISCUSSED BY HEALTH OFFICER. I'ines Are Not Approved, but Con ditions Must Be Satisfac tory, He Declares. . PORTLAND, Or., Oct. 22. To the Editor.) Tho article In The Oregonlan today relative to a meeting of the Dairy men's Protective Association and State Board of Health, call for a little com ment, in order thr.t there may be nq misunderstanding as to the position of the State Board of Health. In reference to the statement as to whether or not any pure milk was served CO the city of. Portland. te state ment coming from the secretary of tho - -Stats Board of Health was, "that so far no dairies were selling milk certl- fled to by the State Board of Health as to Its purity," and. at the same time i that this statement was made, the ' names of two or three dairymen were ' given as having relatively clean dairies. The Association asked that samples - hereafter be taken from milk wagons, creameries, etc, direct, and were as sured that this matter would be brought before the Board and If agreeable to them, adopted. At the same time, the attention of the Association was called to the fact that every householder was entitled to have the milk in his own home examined' for his own personal protection. Mr. Judd, of the Hazlewood Creamery, advocated the absolute eradi cation of all dairies containing large numbers of tubercular cattle, or having barns of such character as to be unable to bo satisfactorily rendered sanitary. Mr. Judd's Ideas ware the most radical 1 we have so far heard advocated, and there Is no doubt hut that In some cases this procedure will be necessary. The Association was assured that tho work of the State Board of Health would be directed along the lines of dairy improvement, both as regards health of dairy herds and sanitation of dairies; that tho Board did not intend to exact prohibitive dairy regulations, but Intended to make them matters of education. That except in aggravated cases it would not be the policy of the Board to enforce payment of money as fines, which money should be used by the dairymen In improving his dairy. Reasonable demands only would bo made, and If these were not reasonably compiled with, the dairy must cease business: tho object being to. secure clean dairies and pure milk and not to allow the dairyman to feel that he was Justified In continuing business without improvement, simply by paying a fine. Tho ruination of the dairy industry was dwelt upon a great deal by some of the members, as If the entire prob lem Involved was one of dollars and cents. Speaking for the Board. I en neavored to make myself clear on the point that the health of tho people of this state and city demanded some con sideration, and that the dairy Industry Itself demanded for its own protection the segregation of diseased cattle, and the proper construction, and care of i Um la wfclch Jiey arhoused and that tho establishment of clean dairies would solve the problem, both for the dairymen and the people. In conclusion, will say that the atten tion of the Association was called to the recent inspection of quite a number of dairies in the vicinity of Portland by the State Board of Health, assisted by the city and county boards of health and the Vnlted States Bureau of Ani mal Industry, in which with very few exceptions, the dairies inspected were found .not onlv bad. but in many cases ab-olutely filthy; that most unsanitary methods were need In collecting, strain ing and cooling milk; also. that the condition of the dairies Justified a wide spread knowledge of their lack of sani tation, in order that consumers unaware of the existing conditions, might pro tect themselves. - In this work, the tfoard of Health -has tho active support and co-operation of the cltv and county boards of health and the United States Bureau of Animal Industry, since this bureau supplies, when poFSible. competent men to assist 4 i NEW PASTOR WtlfOM HASSAI.O-RTBEKT CON OATIOX.VL. tlUKCH 1EO AT .";kk- J - J n 'i. - '3 K J.

GUNS POINT WAY TO .DOOR OF JAIL Suspected Thieves Locked Up After Pursuit Mile in Length. PEACE OFFICER IS ABSENT Milwaukie Crowd of Men and Boys Have Long Chase, In Whloh Shots Are Exchanged Section Men and House Are Robbed. Followed by a crowd of angry boys and men who had captured them after an exciting chase of about a mile, two men were marched into Milwaukie late yes terday afternoon in front of two loaded guns, and forcibly Injected into the Town Jail, where they were held without war rants for about two hours until the Jus tice of the Peace returned from Salem and took charge of them. The prisoners were supposed to be two of three men who had been seen robbing the clothes of section bands and later breaking Into, the house of Gus Bin, where they took a 'watch and 1 In money. When J. E. Kelso, Justice of the Pence, returned 'at 6 o'clock from Salem, where he had spent tho day, he took the prisoners to Oregon City, and had them legally lodged In Jail. The chase of the robbers, their capture and their informal imprisonment brought nearly all the male residents of Milwau kie to the scene, and created more ex citement than the town had witnessed for years. The men were first observed by L. E. Ftecher, section boss for the- Southern Pacific Railroad. His men wero half a milo from their handcar, and he was but a short distance from the lattery when he saw three men coolly going through the pockets of the section men's coats. He followed them and saw them enter Bin's house. Then he went back toward the track and related the Incident to M. H. Walsh und Harry Benolhln. who were passing along the track. They hurried to their respective homes, near at hand, and returned wlht a rifle and shotgun. House. Is Robbed. By tho time they returned to the Bin house. Bin's son, George, had been to his home and found his wateh and money missing. He Joined In the chase after the robbers. Three men, who were Identified by Fischer as being the robbers, were dis covered a short distance away, and they made a hasty retreat when they saw the crowd coming. One of the fleeing men had a revolver, and, turning, he -tired several shots at Fisher, who was near him. Fisher pulled out his own revolver and returned the fire, but no one was Injured In the ex change of shots. While passing through some trees, one of the escaping men disappeared and could not be found, but the other two were finally forced by tho persuers to halt. The missing watch was found on one of the men, and when George Bin, the owner, tried to gain possession of It, the supposed robber struck him a vi cious blow In the Jaw, which almost knocked him down. At tho same time tho stranger -mode an effort to throw the watch away, but was prevented by others present from accomplishing this. At this point the two loaded guns were presented in a way to cause the accused men to give themselves up and they of ered no more resistance. . At the time of the capture the pur suers had increased until there were about a dossen men and boys in the crowd. By the time Milwaukie was reached the crowd had Increased until It numbered about 30 men and boys, and within the town limits these were Joined by others In large numbers. ' Lack of Warrant Ignored. What to do with tho prisoners in tho absence of a peace officer did not bother the captors long, and without the for mality of a warrant they forceably put the prisoners In the town Jail and locked them up. This was 4 o'clock in the af ternoon, and it was two hours later be foro the Justice of the Peace returned and took them to Oregon City. For a long time, the residents of Mil waukie have been complaining of small thefts, and this added determination to the pursuers in the afternoon to capture the supposed robbers. The men captured gavo their names as James McClaren and Jack Reynolds, and declared they had come from Portland. They firmly de nied that they had committed the rob beries, in spite of the watch being found In their possession. The moiyy Bin claimed to have lost when the' watch was stolen could not be found on the prisoners, and it is be lieved that eitheT the man who escaped had it, or that they threw It away when they found that escape was Impossible. During the chase the alleged robbers were making . their way toward Oregon City, and it ls'believed that the third man went to that place. The authorities at Oregon City were asked last night to keep a lookout for him. TAX VALUES PROTESTED HARRIMAX LIXES ASK REDUC TIONS OP $2 50,00 0. Equalization Board Receives Petl tlons From Railroad and From Rosenf eld-Smith Company, Reductions in the assessed valuation of its Multnomah County property by not far from $260,000 are sought by the Harrl man lines in a protest filed yesterday fore noon with the County Board of Equaliza tion.

PERMANENTLY CURED BY CUTICURA REMEDIES " My baby suffered about three weeks and she was in a very bad condition. 1 he eczema com menced on her face and epread all orer the scalp. It was a solid scab and sore, and her little ears looked as though they would come off.. She was Tery fret ful and could rest but very little. She would rub her little ears and head much of the time. She looked awfully bad. We then heard of the Cuticura Reme dies and I boueht some Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Oint ment and I decided to give them a trial. I used two cakes of Cuticura Soap and one box of Cuticura Ointment. At the time I commenced to use the Cuticura Eeme dies she was in a very bad fix. I began the treatment by bathing with Cuticura Soap three times a day and also used Cuticura Ointment after each bath, and it was but a few days before we began to find out she was improving. She con tinued to improve and in about three weeks she was entirely cured and haa not been troubled with any skin disease since. She was at that time about three months old and she is now three years and two months and is a fine, fat baby girl. I will gladly recommend the Cuti cura Remedies to any one who is suffer ing from that terrible disease and I give ' to Cuticura many thanks. I will gladly tell of her cure to any one who will ask or write about it. Mrs. M. M. Reynolds, Box 40, RF. D. 2, Windsor, Va., Oct. 20 and Nov. 6, 1908."
