SCBIBER SENT TO
FEDERAL PRISON
Bank-Wrecker Is Sentenced to
Term of Seven Years on
McNeil's Island.
LA GRANDE MAN PLEADS
Xast Effort to Save Him From Peni
tentiary Is Unavailing and He
I . Leaves Courtroom in Custody
I . of Deputy Marshal,
Jefferson W. Scrlber, ex-cashier of
the Farmen & Traders National Bank,
at L& Grande, Is today an Inmate of the
Federal Penitentiary at McNeil's Is
land. He was sentenced by Judge Rob
ert B- Bean yesterday afternoon, and
will be required to serve a term of
seven years, unless pardoned by the
President of the United States.
Scrlber appeared in court at 8
o'clock, accompanied by his attorney,
ex-Senator C- W. Fulton. The latter
made a. plea for the Eastern Oregon
bank wrecker and waa followed by
the United States District Attorney,
John McCourt The prosecutor 'said
that he ias no recommendation as to
leniency to submit to the court, and
thought that in view of the fact that
Bcriber had not only refused to plead
guilty, but had caused the Government
Kreat expense in a long trial of the
Issues, a sentence In excess of the
minimum term of five years should be
Imposed.
Court Reviews Trial.
, When asked if there were any rea
sons why sentence fchould not be im
posed, Mr. Scrlber arose and read a
long statement, recounting- his connec
tion with the failed bank.
Judge Bean reviewed the history of
the trial and the evidence adduced to
support the charges made by the Gov
ernment. The court expressed the
opinion that Scrlber was undoubtedly
suffering from great mental agitation,
tout believed that his mind was not so
badly deranged as to be unable to dif
ferentiate between right and wrong.
Scrlber could have been sentenced to
serve a term of 20 years, having been
found guilty on four counts.
Jefferson W. Scrlber was the cashier
and chief stockholder in the Farmers
& Traders National Bank at La Grande.
For many .years following its founda
tion In 1892, the bank made money and
Scrlber grew rich. Then he went Into
a losing political contest and the re
sult was a. fight against his bank.
Business reverses and bad loans led
to forgeries, false 'entries in the books
of the bank and many other irregulari
ties which were concealed from the
: bank examiners for years.
Forgetf olness Is Costly.
Discovery of the forgeries resulted
because of the forgetfulnes of Scrl
ber. He overlooked a forged note which
.had been hypothecated in a neighbor
ing bank, and the notice went to the
man whose name had been forged.
Attorneys for Scrlber declared him
to have been made Insane because of
the financial troubles he had encoun
tered, and that he was not responsible
for his actions. Since his conviction,
ecriber has been on the farm of one
of his attorneys, and a relative, I. H.
McMahan, near Salem. Following his
sentence, Mr. Scrlber requested that
lie be Immediately taken to the Island.
He made the journey In company with
Deputy United States Marshal William
Griffith.
Scrlber Reads Statement.
Scrlber then read a statement, which
;was as follows: .
Now It has been stated that I used funds
of the Farmers A Traders' National Bank
to pay losses occasioned by Miller's de
falcations at Sumpter. The fact is that
every dollar that went to Sumpter for that
purpose came out of my individual assets
and not of the funds of the bank. Up to
November, 1008, J. H. Robbins was presi
dent of the First National Bank of Sumpter
and at the same time was a director of the
Farmers' A Traders' National Bank. Dur
ing that time the following loans were made
for account of the Sumpter bank and upon
his recommendation as president of that
bank and director of the Farmers' A Trad
ers' National Bank, the Farmers' and Trad
ers National Bank accepted and took o-er
certain loans amounting- to $24,500. The
items were as follows:
Sumpter Transportation Company $ ft,KH
rttRby A Wade favor J. H. Robbins.. 6.0U0
First National Rank of Sumpter 6.00O
Don Juan Mining Company, secured
by mortgage 7,500
Total .S24.500
The loan of $6000 in favor of Sumpter
. Transportation Company was carried by the
Farmers' Traders' National Bank until
10O7, althoush I did all I could to secure
payment; in ltKT the Examiner, through the
.Department, criticised the loan, and In or
der to satisfy the Department I paid to the
Farm era" A Traders' National Bank, by
check on my Individual account, the amount
of $5540 and took over the property. in
1908, after the bank failure, I deeded this
property to the receiver of the Farmers A
Traders National Bank, free of all incum
brances, for the protection of the deposit
ors. The RiRby and C. B. Wade note of $5000
was considered good, but the subsequent
failure of Wade before the note came due
prevented my collecting it in full. I did
get S2S00 In full settlement. This waa the
best that I could do. The loan of the First
Bank of Sumpter was paid by me at
various times by partfal payments. On
the Don Juan mine I paid the assessments
and taxes and $2540 on account. In 1907,
when this payment of was made, the
Farmers A Traders' National Dank trans
ferred alt interest it held to me. After the
bank's failure, I deeded all my one-half
Interest In this Don Juan property, free of
incumbrances, to the receiver of the Farm
ers A Traders National Bank. This made
$16,680 paid by me of the loans made by the
Farmers' A Traders National Bank to the
Sumpter Bank on the recommendations of
J. H. Robbins.
Loans Made br G. E. McCully.
During 1903 G. E. McCully was assist
ant cashier of the Farmers' A Traders' Na
tional Bank, and during 1903 and 1904 had
charge of all loans. During- that time he
made the following loans, amounting to the
una of $28,560. as follows: A. B. Thom
son, $6000; S. W. Spencer, $6000; overdraft
of S. W. Spencer. $16,660.
During my absence, and while I was in
Portland, without my knowledge or con
nt. and upon the promise of A. B.
Thomson to return it upon demand. Mc
Cully allowed Thomson, without any con
sideration, to take his (Thomson's) note
from the bank.
Of the Spencer notes, amounting to $6000
being thseo notee for $2000 each. X paid
to the bank on these notes $4000 and these
notes were handed to the receiver of the
bank after the failure.
A partial settlement waa made on the
indorsed notes of Spencer. None of he S.
W. Spencer overdraft was paid by him, but
waa adjusted by money borrowed on cer
tificates of deposit and as I remember It.
I borrowed $oOOO in Pendleton on my per
sonal credit, and applied this In payments
for the benefit of the Farmers' A Traders
National Bank, asainst loans made by Mc
Cully. R. H. Killer, as cashier of the First
National Bank of Sumpter. sent the Farm
ers' A Traders National Bank a draft on
Omaha for $10,000, drawn by the Psyche
Mining Company. Assuming that the draft
was perfectly good. w credited the amount
to the- Sumpter bank and forwarded the
draft for collection In Omaha, but we were
I never an'e to collect It,
The Psyche Mining Company having
i drawn the funds from the Sumpter bank,
the bank -could neither collect the amount
from the Psyche Mining Company or repay
the Farmers A Traders' National Bank the
amount advanced. The Farmers A Traders
National Bank advanced R H- Miller $6TOO,
end, considering myself responsible. Miller
borrowed this amount from other parties
with my indorsement and pledging bank
stock of the Sumpter bank, repaying this
loan in full
The bank at Sumpter also lost $12,000
by reason of other advances made the
Psyche Mining Company by Miller. In or
der to secure the Sumpter bank and the
Farmers' A Traders" National Bank for ad
vances made, the Farmers A Traders' Na
tional Bank took over a one-third Interest
In the Psyche property. On this property
I kept up the assessment, paid the taxes
and perfected the title, and upon the fail
ure of the Farmers A Traders National
Bank this property was transferred to Its
receiver.
Beat jSstate Deeded to Receiver.
In order further to protect the Farmers
Traders National Bank, by reason of the
Spencer advances made by McCully, I deed
ed to the receiver of the Farmers' A Trad
ers National Bank real estate in Ontario,
Or., valued at $9000. The reason I paid
these sums of money, although neither
legally nor morally responsible to the Farm
ers A Traders National Bank, was two
fold. In the first place, owing to the fight
that was waged against the Farmers A
Traders National Bank and the resultant
bickering and dissension of the sharehold
ers, I had to protect the Farmers A Trad
ers' National Bank against these losses or
let It go to the wall. I owned at that
time about one-third of the stock of the
Farmers A Traders National Bank, and
both my pride and my ambition for the
success of the Farmers A Traders' National
Bank advised against allowing the bank to
suspend payment.
This statement shows that I never used
a cent of the funds of the Farmers A
Traders National Bank to protect any per
son or any other bank. In 1904 I did secure
advances from the Farmers sV. Traders
National Bank of $23,000 to protect the
First National Bank at Sumpter. when a
run waa made on that bank, but in settling
the affairs of the First National Bank of
Sumpter I gave up 190 shares of the cap
ital stock thereof then in my control,
valued at $19,000, and thereby secured the
repayment of the money advanced by the
Farmers A Traders' National Bank. Owing
to the fight that was made on the Farmers
A Traders' National Bank and the Influence
Thomson exerted in that community and
that the bank was not making money and
Its deposits were low, I deemed it Inexped
ient to force Thomson to pay or give a
new note. In 1004. prior to an examina
tion, I made a copy of that note and placed
the same in the bank, believing that in
time I would be able to get a note or set
tlement from Thomson ; that Thomson
owed the note is proved by the records
of this Federal Court, and a Judgment for
$6000 and interest was rendered against him
a few days ago. This copy of the Thom
son note was the first illegal transaction in
the history of the bank., and at that time
X did not believe It Involved moral turpi
tude. Of the $90,000 "in notes, was included
this note of Thomson, and three other notes
of $2000 each of -S. W. Spencer, and the
note of the Ormond Lumber Company for
$5000, all of which were delivered to the
receiver, reducing the amount $17,000. The
Government claims that about $90,000 of
spurious notes were Issued, but if the Gov
ernment had figured banking interest com
pounded at 8 per cent Interest, the officials
would have found that at least one-third
of these notes represented Interest on re
newals, and would reduce the bank's ap
parent loss fully $30,000 more.
Shortage Made Good.
The shortage in cash of $12,500 was used
for repayment to the First National Bank
of Elgin, W. R. Hamilton and Henry
Strieker. The N. K. West loan from Elgin
Bank was borrowed to cover interest on cer
tain fictitious notes. It was necessary. In
order to make these notes apparently good,
to collect and have proper credits for the
interest due prior to July 1. 1908. That
$12,500 was paid to the bank by the follow
ing credits:
N. K. West loan $2000
W. R. Hamilton 2300
W. R. Hamilton 2500
Hamilton had paid In these sums of money
and the bank had all the proceeds thereof.
The balance, amounting to $5500. was rep
resented by good notes, taken in exchange
from Henry Striker, and were reing held
for renewal for the Farmers A Traders
National Bank and taken charge of by Ex
aminer Oatch. and these notes were ail duly
collected and the Farmers A Traders Na
tional Bank received ail the proceeds.
I never used one dollar of the Farmers
& Traders National Bank funds for private
speculation, for my personal benefit or for
any purpose other than the legitimate pro
tection of the Farmers' & Traders' National
Bank. On these fictitious notes I paid a large
sum of interest from time to time out of
my private funds, but do not now know
the aggregate amount. When the Thomson
note was made, in 1903. I was personally
worth fully $60,000 above all my Indebted
ness. Practically all of this property was
used in an attempt to save the Farmers A
Traders' National Bank, which never made
any money after 1903. My salary as cash
ier was sioo a month: rents received from
real estate in Da Grande, $285 per month,
and from other property outside La Grande,
$150 a month, and about $100 a month ln-
terest on other Investments. Myself and
family lived on not exceeding $60 a month.
All incomes received above the amount used
for expenses, taxes and insurance were also
used to maintain the bank. And X have
gladly given up every dollar I had to pro
tect the bank and its depositors. What X
did at the time did not appeal to me as
being wrong, the object being to protect
the Farmers' A Traders' National Bank and
pay its depositors. I had no criminal ob
ject in view, and I never attempted or
thought of wronging any man out of money.
I always thought I could wear out the
fight that was made on the Farmers' A
Traders' National Bank, that times would
become better and with Increasing business
I could sell the bank stock I controlled and
pay all depositors in full, and it is my be
lief that could It have been arranged so
that I could have collected and settled the
affairs of the bank, I could have paid de
positors in full. The receivership of the
bank necessitates expenses that cannot be
avoided and collections are not paid to a
receiver that would have been met prompt
ly otherwise.
GIRL IS TEMPTED TO DRINK
Judge Bennett Denounces Sister for
Leading Her Astray.,
Hazel McKay, 17 years of ase and of
very youthful appearance, ordered soda
water but she got beer at the Tennessee
Cafe, Fourth and Madison streets, Tues
day night- Annie Brigrgs, sister of the
girl, and Charles E. Hicks and George
Rogers, two chance acquaintances, were
arrested and tried in Police Court yes-
teraay ror causing tlie girl to drink the
intoxicant.
Mrs. Brigrgs and her young sister were
sitting in the Plaza, when the two young
men scraped an acquaintance. They pro
posed refreshments and repaired to the
Tennessee place, just across the street.
Patrolmen Humphries and Montgomery
watched until they saw beer served, then
made the arrests. The girl and her sister
both declared that Hazel was 21 years of
age, and for that reason the proprietor
of the place was not arrested. In court
yesterday Hazel admitted that she was
only 17 years old.
Judge Bennett was severe in his de
nunciation of the elder sister. "This
woman ought to be ashamed of herself,"
he said, "for giving intoxicating liouors
o this little girl. I will sentence her
to 30 days in jail, but because she has
a decent husband, I shall suspend sen
tence during good behavior."
The two men were fined $20 each.
EAST HAS QUEER NOTION
Portland Believed to Be Almost
Wiped Out In Recent Fire.
That Portland was recently visited by
a "disastrous conflagration" rivaling the
S&a Francisco fire would appear "to be
the general impression In Eastern cen
ters. This was indicated yesterday by a
letter received by the J. K. Gill Company,
which was handed over to the Commer
cial Club for action. The following is an
excerpt from the letter:
If you have not been wiped out in
the recent fire which, according to the
newspapers, has laid waste the large
part of your city, including an enormous
athletic field, we presume you will still
be interested to hear from us in response
to your letter of the 6th Inst.

Sister and Widow of Frank J. Dole
zal Eacb Have Claims.
A contest over the distribution of the
estate of Frank J. Dolezal, worth
about $7784 has begun In the County
Court by the filing of a petition by
Mrs. Frances Wasserman, of Chicago,
his sister, asking that she be given
the property. It consists of 80 acres
of timber land, valued at $4000, and
$3784 in cash. Disputing Mrs. Was
serman's Glaim, is the widow, Mrs.
Anna J. DolezaL
When Dolezal died, October 30, 1901,
he left a will in which he made no
mention of the widow, but gave all the
property to the son, providing ho was
of legal age. If he had not reached the
age of 21, the estate was to go to Mrs.
Wasserman. Edward B. Dolezal, the
son, is said to have died at Phoenix,
Ariz., January 10, 1909, being only 19
years old. The widow and the son were
the only heirs, and she now claims the
property, particularly the money, for
herself and her four children by two
former marriages. These children are:
Mrs. Elizabeth Finn, Hugh T. Conley,
John W. Burke and Arthur H. Burke.
Frank Polivka is the executor of the
will.
The widow succeeded In securing
about $1600 from the estate after her
husband's death. The deeds to several
lots had been signed by her husband
before his death, and these she sold.
