posit When Institution Was In
solventOther Indictments
Are Expected Soon.
Walter H. Moore, president. W. Cooper
Morris, cashier, and B. E. Lytle. Henry
A. Moore and Leo Friede. directors, of the
defunct Oregon Trust & Savings Bank,
which two years ago closed Its doors, a
wreck, were all arrested and taken to
Jail yesterday afternoon.
The arrests were the result of an un
expected and sudden recommendation by
the grand Jury, which Is now conducting
an Investigation into the questionable
dealings charged against President Moore
and Cashier Morris, individually, and
against the directorate collectively. All
were later released on bonds of cflO0 each.
Felony Charge Is Made.
The former officials of the wrecked In
stitution are charged with having un
lawfully received deposits in a bank
knowing the Institution to be insolvent,
the complaint being brought against them
by Abe Henkle, a retired farmer, formerly
living in Corvallis, who had deposited
VXtto In the bank on August IT, 1907, three
days before payment was suspended. The
information of felony against the bank
officials Is drawn up under the provisions
of section 18. chapter 138 of the Oregon
Statutes, passed by the Legislature of
1907, defining what shall constitute a
bank and banking business and regulat
ing the business of banking tn the 9tate
of Oregon.
Morris Hurts Own Case.
The sudden determination by the Jurors
to take these men Into custody was
reached during the afternoon while Mr.
Morris waa testifying, and was done to
prevent his leaving the state, his own
statements having convinced the inquisi
torial body that many, if not all. of the
allegations against him were true. It was
feared some difficulty and delay might
be involved in bringing him back into
Oregon if he should once depart. While
Mr. Morris was telling his story of stock
manipulations, bad loans and questionable
transactions, the information and warrant
for his arrest were made out In the next
room. It was after a secret consultation
among themselves that the Jurors inter
rupted Morris" testimony and quietly rec
ommended to Deputy District Attorney
Fitzgerald that the witness be seized be
fore he had an opportunity to return to
Tacoroa.
Little Time Is Taken.
Leaving Mr. Morris to tell of some
minor details which had been asked for
by the Jury. Mr. Fitzgerald left the Jury
room, where he had been conducting the
examination of three witnesses, and hur
riedly summoning Mr. Henkle because ho
waa present and therefore more easily
reached than any other of the depositors,
the information was drawn up. signed,
filed with Clerk Beutgen of the Municipal
Court, and a warrant was Issued by
Judge Bennett, the names of! the directors
being included. The details of the mat
ter had taken but a few moments.
This was at 3:50 o'clock. Within an
hour all of the accused bank wreckers
had been arrested and escorted to the City
JaJL
It had been the Intention of the Jury
to return an indictment against the ac
cused men on Saturday, but action was
hastened by the convincing manner in
which Morris, while attempting to defend
himself, showed that he was a financial
Juggler without a peer. The arrest of
Mr. Morris and his associates, it is said,
is merely the first shot to be fired by
the grand Jury. Judging from the prompt
ness with which they acted upon Mr.
Morris' etory yesterday it Is believed that
by Saturday a string of Indictments will
be prepared charging embezzlement In
the various deals now under the probe.
Detective Walts Outside.
Mr. Morris' arrest was made by De
tective Day, who was waiting outside the
grand Jury room. When the information
and warrant had been prepared. District
Attorney Cameron telephoned, requesting
Chief Cox to visit his office. Immediate
ly after the Chiefs return. Detective Day
was sent out to receive his instructions
from the District Attorney. The greatest
secrecy was observed by all concerned to
prevent news of the contemplated "round
up" of the bank officials getting out for
fear that the accused men might hear of
it and place themselves where it would ba
difficult for the officers to locate .them.
Deputy Sheriff Jones was also in wait
ing for Mr. Morris at the grand Jury
chamber. ' As soon as Mr. Morris stepped
outside the officer served papers upon
him in the civil suits being brought
against the various bank officials by Re
ceiver Devlin to recover assets not turned
over to him at the time of the failure.
Mr. Morris' face was flushed, showing the
ordeal he had undergone in the juryroom
and he waa greatly surprised when the

to water-power sites on the public do

The Secretary reiterates "without fear
of contradiction" the statement hitherto
made in his behalf, that since his incum

Mr. Ballinger states that during his
trip "most of the principal Government
reclamation projects have been visited,

on Irrigation. The water-users and set

from Congress for the issuance of bonds
against the reclamation funds to give the
service the means whereby all existing
projects can be speedily completed and
necessary extensions undertaken."

phase of the controversy regarding con

At a meeting at Carnegie Hall Hearst
disclosed some Interesting facts concern
ing his acceptance of the Democratic
nomination against Governor Hughes in
1906.
"Three -years ago I ran for Governor
upon the Independence party ticket," he
said, "and the Democratic party Indorsed
me, seeming to see a true Democrat in
the candidate and platform of the Inde

resulted in hie refusal to tie dictated to
