The Bank of Drain brought In the Cir
cuit Court yesterday two suits against
ti-.nse connected with the affairs of the
defunct Oregon Trust & Savings Bank.
One suit to for the recovery of 750 from
V. H. Moore. W. Cooper Morris and

hank, to recover 7i0 because of the ei
pr..e the Drain bank was put to in lo
cating its lost bonds after it had been
tompelled by the action of Moore and
Morris to purchase them.
Still another suit was filed yesterday
acalnst W. Cooper Morris, by the Morris
Safe & Lock, Company, represented by
Attornev Gammons & Malarkey. This
firm alleges that Morris purchased a
!T) automobile in November. agree
in? to pay SiO a month upon it. and that
after August. WT. when the bank failed,
the pavments ceased. The company asks
for S2015. alleged to be still owing.
Relations With Drain Bank.
In the J?7T.o suit, brought by the Eank
of Drain. Moore and Morris are said to
have purchased, as officers of the Oregon
Trust Bank. J'.d.SO worth, face value, of
the capital stock of the Bank of Drain.
ji.vi worth of which they are alleged to
lave transferred to Estes. retaining the
balance as trustees.
?.Ioore and Morris were subsequently
elected members of the Drain bank's
board -'f directors, along with Benton
Mires and I. Wimberly. of Drain.
The Oregon Trust Bank purchased at
V cents on the dollar a block of Tacoma
Home Telephone bonds, receiving with
each dollar's worth of bonds 1 worth,
face value, of stock. Then Moore and
Slirrls are alleged to have notified the
cashier of the Drain bank that they had
purchased for the bank f25.0M worth of
these bonds, and Instructed him to remit
this amount in cash to the Oregon Trust
Brink in Portland. But. although the sup
position was that the action was with the
acquiescence and knowledge of the other
two directors, it is alleged they knew
nothing of the transaction.
Bonds Sold at Par.
Further than this, the bonds were sold
to the Drain bank at par. J,t is alleged,
and with a bonus of stock of only 50
per cent of the face value of the bonds.
This wjz. done, it Is alleged, that Mor
ris antiP.oore might put into their own
pockets the difference between the price
traid for the bonds by the Oregon Trust
Pink and that paid by the Drain institu
tion. The suit against Receiver Devlin alleges
that at the time the Oregon Trust Bank
failed it had ilo.y of the Drain bank's
capital stock on hand, and that the latter
offered to exchange for it a like amount
of Home Telephone bonds. The bonds,
although owned by the Drain bank, were
in the possession of the defunct bank,
and when the Drain bank demanded them
they could not be found. Receiver Dev
lin is alleged to have reported that they
had either been lost or stolen. It at last
became necessary for one of the offi
cers of the Drain Institution to come to
Portland, employ counsel, and Institute
suit, in order to recover the J25.000 worth
of bonds.
JIRS. PARRISH WINS POINT
Ijiw Passed After Case Was Filed
Is Not Effective.
The Oregon Legislature Is not com
petent to pass a law to change the
venue of cases already instituted at
the time the law ia passed, according;
to a .decision of Presiding- Judge
Bronaugh in the Circuit Court yester
' day. The -suit in which this decision
was made was that of Luella C. Parrlsh
against J. J. VVhitney and Percy R.
Kelly, of Albany. In which she charges
them with libel, and demands $10,000
damages from each.
Attorneys A. R. Joy and V. H.
Fowler contended in a brief, which
they submitted to the court, that the
law requiring- libel cases to be tried in
the county where at least one of the
defendants resides was passed to com
pel Mrs. Parrlsh to transfer the case,
and that it was drawn by the attorneys
for the defendants.
"I think it competent for the Legis
lature to pass a law modifying: the
right to a change of venue."' said Judge
Bronaugh. "but I do not think it com
petent to pass a law compelllnTi cTiarrge
of venue in stilts already started, for
this may mean a denial of justice to
persons who are not wealthy."
Hoyle Charges Mismanagement.
Gross mismanagement on the part of E.
B. Dufur, as president of the Ideal Con
struction Company, and of Blanche McN.
Moore, as treasurer, are alleged by Mills
"XT. Hoyle. in a euit filed In the Circuit
Court yesterday. He alleges that their
conduct in selling the assets of the cor
poration to P. L Munsen for $309. with
out authority from the board of directors,
has placed the corporation In a state of
Insolvency. Further, he says that suit
was brought against the corporation in
his name, without his knowledge, and
against his wishes. He asks that a re
ceiver now be appointed to take charge
-of the company.
Frank L. Day Sned for Divorce.
Blanche L. Day brought a divorce suit
in the Circuit Court yesterday against
Frank L. Day, charging him with de
sertion. They were married at Fargo,
X. D.. May 25, 1900. and have three chil
dren, whose custody she asks.
Judge Oantenbein took under advise
ment yesterday morning the divorce suit
of Mary Falkenberg against Joseph B.
Falkenberg. He has given the parties
an opportunity to reconcile their differ
ences. Bank Sues to Collect Note.

euit papers were thrust Into his hands.
He had Just remarked "That will be all
right." after looking at the notice of suit,
when Detective Day arrested him.
"I've got a warrant for your arrest,"
said Detective Day. "you'll have to come
along with 4me." Mr. Morris was com
pletely taken by surprise and paled un
der the shock. Atr the police station he
was taken Into Captain Bailey's private
office and allowed to use the telephone.
As all of the names of the men wanted
were on the one warrant In the posses
sion of Detective Day. who rushed out
Immediately after delivering Mr.' Morris
at the police station, no one for a few
moments could tell Mr. Morris what he
had been arrested for. He was informed
that his ball had been set at $5000. He
finally got Atomeys Long and Sweek on
the telephone, and in a few moments
these attorneys, assisted by Attorney
Seneca Fonts, were seeking diligently for
bondsmen to secure his release.
Indictment Was Expected.
While Mr. Morris was waiting word
from his attorneys he was asked to make
a statement for publication.
"I am taken so by surprise." said he,
that I do not know what to eay. I ex
pected to tie Indicted. We all did. but I
did not think I would be arrested today.
It was a great shock. I had Just put
my foot outside, the grand Jury -room
when they nailed me." Mr. Morris ap
peared very nervous and very crestfallen.
Mr. Morris had been waiting but a
few moments when Detective Day re
turned with Henry A. Moore in custody.
He was found in his office In the Henry
bullding. W. "H. Moore was arrested
next a few moments later, on his way
to the office of the Moore Investment
Company. In the Henry building. De
tective Day then telephoned Mr. Lytle
and told him that he was wanted. Mr.
Lytje walked down toward the police
station and was met en route and.- ar
rested. Mr. Friede was arrested In his
office at Wadhams & Company's, of
which firm he is a member.
When W. H. Moore came Into the po
lice station his brother, Henry A. Moore,
was seated behind the captain's desk and
Mr. Morris was seated inside the private
office, where he was plainly visible.
When the two Moores saw each other
they laughed, and then, seeing Mr. Mor
ris. W. H. Moore waved his hand at him
and called: "Well, it looks as though
they were getting all of us."
Defendants on Bad Terms.
Mr. Lytle and Mr. Friede. who were
the last to come Into the police station,
however, maintained a very reserved de
meanor toward the Moores and Morris.
Mr. Lytle was accompanied by his bonds
men, as was Mr. Friede. Judge Ben
nett was hastily summoned and the bail
papers were prepared. The bondsmen
were: For Morris. John F. Shorey. presi
dent of the City Messenger Company, and
W. W. Ridehalgh. a real estate man,
with offices In the Lafayette building; for
the two Moores, J. A. Harbke. who is
Interested with them in the Moore In
vestment Company, and H. W. Wells, a
lumber and sheepdealer. with offices in
the Lafayette building: for Lytle. M. F.
Brady, a manufacturers' agent, and F.
S. Stanley, of the Smith-Stanley Lumber
Company; for Friede, Henry Hahn and
M. Baruh. who are partners with Mr.
Friede in Wadhams & Company. "
The prisoners, their bondsmen and their
attorneys crowded the police station for
nearly an hour. A perfect array of legal
talent flocked to the station after the ar
rests. Morris is represented by ex-City
Attorney Long. Alex Sweek and Seneca
Fouts. The two Moores have retained
ex-Senator Fulton and J. B. Horsford.
Ex-United States District Attorney Hall
will appear, for Lytle and Teal & Minor
will look after the Interests of Friede. As
soon as the bail papers were made out
the men In custody in the police station
were released.
Tries to Attack Morris.
A great deal of feeling seemed to
exist on the part of Mr. Lytle against
Mr. Morris, whom he blames for much
of the stigma which is attached to the

affair. After his release from the sta
tion Mr. Lytle and his friends ad
journed to a cafe in the Chamber of
Commerce building, where they were
seated when Mr. Morris and his friends
entered. As soon as Mr. Lytle saw Mr.
Morris he Jumped up and made a rush
as if to strike him. Friends of Sir.
Lytie nad to interfere to prevent a
personal encounter between the two
men.
None of the men arrested, except Mr.
Lytle. would discuss the action of the
grand Jury. "I consider this matter an
outrage," said he. "I took positive proof
before th,e grand jury that I acted in
good faith as a director of that bank,
showed that I had paid for my stock,
told them that I had not participated in
any of these transactions which they
lay to my door; told them that I had
protested against the loans made the
Golden Eagle, the Order of Washington
and others, and they chose to believe
Morris to nie. I understand that he
told the Jury this morning that Mr.
Friede and I were cognizant of all the
things that went on In that bank. He
ia an infamous liar when he says so,
and I can prove it.
"He accuses me of being- in on the
Pacific & Eastern deal. Mr. Stanley
here, my bondsman, was present when
that matter came up between Morris
and me, and heard my decision on it.
We went down to Medford to look over
the property and, after viewing it, I
told Morris that it was worth only
what it would bring f. o. b. Portland
for scrap iron. I told him that I
would not go into such an Investment
under any consideration. I further
more called up Moore at the bank by
telephone and told hlra what I thought
of the scheme, and advised him not
to let the bank go into such a proposit
ion under any circumstances. Moore
assured me that not one cent of the
bank's money would go into it and L
of course, thought that none had when
the purchase was made. Friede also
saw Moore after I had talked with him,
and Moore assured him of the same
thing, for Friede also strenuously ob
jected to the proposition. Moore' said
at that time that it was his own and
Morris' private dead, and that none of
the money belonging- to the bank wouW
be used for It.
Reported Deal Denied.
"I never had anything- to do with
the United Railways. I was never the
president of the company, never owned
any of the stock or served in any way
with the company. If Mr. Emmons,
the secretary, were asked to testify,
he would show this to be the truth. I
do not know anything about this deal
except what I have heard since. Moore
came to me and told me that if I would
take the presidency of the road he
would give me 125.000 worth of the
stock. When I asked him who was
going to finance the deal, he replied
that not one cent of the bank's money
would go Into It. Eventually con
vinced that the bank was not supply
ing the funds and wishing to look fur
ther into the Investment. I went up to
one of the meeting. One share of
stock was prepared for me and I was
elected a director- at Moore's urging,
but I never was Installed because I
never signed for the share of stock.
The statement that 1 received a cut
of $2S.nno out of this deal Is a malicious
slander. They used my name without
my consent."
Much Juggling Admitted.
. Morris' testimony before the grand Jury
yesterday was most sensational. He ad
mitted that the surplus of $50,000 was
created by working a manipulation of
stock. In the purchase of the first $300.
000 of the Puget Sound telephone bonds
the bank had received $200,000 in stock
as a bonus, he said. Of this stock
Moore and Morris had taken just one
half. Morris admitted, and It was set
down as a commission. This stock was
then put back Into the bank at a valua
tion of 50 cents on the dollar.
One-half of the stock, according to
Morris' story, was thus used to create
the false surplus and the other half was
sold to the bank by Moore and Morris,
who. In payment for the same, received
from the bank their notes for $40,000
which they had given the bank for their
capital stock. Mr. Morris said that Mr
Lytle had participated in the United
'Railways deal- and that after paying for
the road with the bank's money, some
of its bonds were put back into the bank
for $75,000 cash, which amount was drawn
out and divided between Morris, Moore
and Lytle. His long explanation of the
Golden Eagle and other transactions were
virtually to the effect that they had been
done with the best intent and that they
had turned out to be bad business deals.
Lytle -and Friede were aware of what
was going on and approved of it, he said.
The section of the statutes under which
the information was filed yesterday and
on which the arrests were made reads as
follows:
The owners or officers of any bank who
shall receive any deposit knowing that such
bank Is Insolvent shall be deemed guilty
of a felony and punished upon conviction
therefor, by a fine not exceeding $1000, or
imprisonment In the state penitentiary not
exceeding two years, or by both such fine
and Imprisonment, at the discretion of the
court.

Evidence of the strong financial hack
ing enjoyed by the United Railways
since it changed hands a few days ago
came to light yesterday when It paid off
in cash Its $76,000 obligation to the re
ceiver of the defunct Oregon Trust &
Savings Company.
It also came to light yesterday that ttjfe
road was bought in cash at a material
advance on the original investment. In
some Instances the stockholders realized
by the sale of tlieir stock a net profit
of M per cent on their original invest
ment, and the original stopkholders of
the Ruth Trust Company, a subsidiary
corporation to the United Railways which
wa3 sold with it. received for their stock
four times as much as they originally
paid for it
- This proof of the strong financial back
ing of the road Is in accordance with
the unverified statements that have been
made recently to the effect that it is in
the hands of some large company that
Is planning to develop, it Into an im
portant railway. The fact that the chack
paid to the bank yesterday was deposited
by E. A Howard, who is known to be
affiliated with the Hill lines, and was
drawn on a Seattle bank in which the
latter has deposits led to the theory yes
terday that the United Railways Is being
acquired by the Hill interests.
The $75,000 paid yesterday to the re
ceiver of the Oregon Trust" & Savings
Company, represented a debt for which
the stock had been placed as collateral,
when the management of the now de
funct bank was making some of the
questionable speculations that brought
the institution into trouble.
The amounts paid for the stock of the
United Railways varied, for much of It
was purchased from original stockhold
ers at such prices as It was held at by
the various owners. Much of the stock
had been purchased long before reorgan
ization of the company, as a matter of
speculation, and sold in lumps to the new
owners, and thus the profits on the stock
vastly varied, but it was asserted last
night by one of the men who owned the
larger part of the stock that all the
holders received move or less of a profit
in the transaction.
The company was originally incor
porated for $300,000. there being 30,000
shares at a par value of $100 each. The
first efforts to finance the road were
difficult, and the stock sold for much
less than its par value.
For the purpose of handling the real
estate that would develop through the
extension of the road, the Ruth Trust
Company was organized, the capital
stock being $200,000, half of which was
paid up. Afterward the remainder of
the stock was distributed as a dividend
to those who held the original shares.
Later $30,000 worth of additional stock
was issued and sold at par.
When the company recently changed
hands, t.ie owners of the original stock
sold it for a total of $400,000, or four
times what they originally paid for it.
The hold'ers of the more-recently Issued
stock received twice its par value, but
this represented only twice theij- in
vestment, as they had not profited by
the dividend previously made.
JUDGE OPPOSES PARDON
Gantennein Says Mrs. Waymlre
Should Serve Sentence.
The secret pardoning of Jew Nun. the
Chinese murderer of Lee Yeck Yee. by
Governor Benson, has led the inquisitive
to ask whether like action will be taken
In regard to Mrs. Belle Waymlijp, con
victed and sentenced to six months in the
County Jail for conspiring against the
reputation of ex-Mayor Lane. Mrs. Way
mire, who fled without serving her sen
tence. Is now seeking a pardon.
Circuit Judge Gantebein, who heard the
evidence in the Waymire case, said yes
terdav that he has not yet been consulted
regarding the Waymlre pardon, and that
when he is, he Intends to make strenuous
objections to it.
"Mrs. Waymire will not be pardoned If
I have anything to say about it," said
Judge Gantenbein. "She was certainly
guilty of conspiracy, and ought to be
punished. It is essy enough, these days,
to trap a public official, and people who
do it should be severely punished for it
Further than this, I don't regard Mrs.
Waymire as a desirable citizen.
"I think there has been an abuse of the
pardoning power in this state. The power
was conferred on the Governor to be
exercised only in exceptional cases, but
It has come to be a common thing - to
pardon criminals."
