When Rodger took the air at 7:20 o'clock this morning at the little desert water bole called Stoval Siding, Aria, with but a trifle over 200 mile be tween blm and the Paclflo Coast, there was every reason to believe that he would make hi goal, or at least very near to It by evening;.

EVARS SETS BLAME ON BANK OFFICERS Conspiracy Charged by Philomath Cashier. CHANGE OF NAME . ADMITTED First Wife Termed Shrew by Accused Banker. DEPOSITORS ARE INCENSED Loan of $26,000 to $8000 Company Not Explained Withdrawals on Jfight Prior to Suspension, of Business Are Told. CORVALLIS, Or Nov. 2. (Special.) Confronted with two criminal charges, making and publishing false reports as to the bank's condition, and accepting deposits when he knew the institution was Insolvent, James Evara, cashier of the suspended First State Bank of Philomath, from his cell In the County Jail today declared that his arrest and Impending prosecution are the result of a conspiracy on the part of the other officers of the bank and to which he ascribes the bank's failure. He admitted that he bad changed his name from that of Charles James Evans and said that it was owing to the 111 temper of his former wife and her harassing methods after he had sep arated from her that led him to avoid her. He declared that the other bank directors were as much to blame as himself for the tottering condition of the institution, but he did not explain the Large loans to the ' Philomath Creamery Company. Boka Free to Inspection. "One of the charges against me al leges making and publishing a false statement concerning the condition of the bank," said Mr. Evars, who Is a man of probably 40 years, this after noon. "That statement, issued on Sep tember 17, was in accordance with the bank's books with the exception that it did not include a few deposits which were received' between the date of the report and the date th bank's doors were closed. "I signed this statement as cashier. It was also signed by A. J. Williams, president, and S. T. Wyatt. director. The books of the institution at all times were kept by an assistant cashier and my only knowledge of the actueu) con dition of the bank was that obtained from the books, the same information that was available to and possessed by the other officers. Director Withdrew, Charge. "Between the date of the report and September 19, President Williams and Director Wyatt and their relatives be came exceedingly active and withdrew the bulk of their deposits in checks of 200 and 300 each. "I had tired of my association with the officers of the bank and at the ' time waa negotiating with a Portland man for the sale of my Interest. The action of Williams and Wyatt and their relatives in withdrawing their funds from the bank was for the purpose of scaring my prospective purchaser away. "But they overdid the thing and tha bank became Insolvent. Becoming aware of the bank's Insolvency, I tele graphed the Superintendent of Banks, at Salem and requested him to assume charge of the institution. The next step taken by my erstwhile business as sociates was to prefer criminal charges against me and have me thrown In Jail after having my ball fixed at the ex orbitant figure of 210,000, which they were satisfied I would bs unable to furnish. Deposit Acceptance Denied. "The second charge against me is the acceptance of deposits when I knew the bank was not solvent. The speclfla charge is that I received a deposit of 17000 from Albert Shrlber on the day before the bank suspended. As a mat ter of fact I was in Albany for that entire day, and the deposit charged against me was received by the other officers of the bank in my absence. Only one bad loan was made by tha bank, as its books will show, and that was the money advanced to the Philo math Creamery. But this loan was made with the full knowledge and offl cial sanction of the officers of the bank, who are equally blamable for it. "There unquestionably exists a con spiracy on- the part of the. other offi cers of the bank to shift all respon sibility "for the suspension of the bank on my shoulders. These officials have the depositor so thoroughly scared that we are unable to fore th au thorities to arrest any . of the other bank officials. They are equally re sponsible for the condition of the bank, but they have succeeded In so arous ing public opinion against me that I am unable to get any satisfaction from the officers of the law." First Wife Blamed. Discussing his matrimonial entangle ments, Evars said: My first wife so harassed me In both Wisconsin and Minnesota that I left those states virtually bereft of money and came to the Pacific Coast. She was insufferably shrewlike. In 1806 I ob tained a divorce from my nlfe, and (Concluded on Pace TJ
