BANK SUIT SUSTAINED
DEMIIIKER OVF.RKVI.ED; TItlAL
. TO BB IN JINK.
Receiver of Defnncl Bank of Seaside
May Continue Attempt to Kc -cover
$39,275.85.
ASTORIA. Or.. April 29. (Special.)
In a decision handed down today in
the Circuit Court, Judge Eakln over
ruled a demurrer of the defendant In
the suit of Frank S. Godfrey, receiver
of the bank of Seaside, ngainat B. F.
Uartch. of Portland, a director of the
defunct Institution. The ruling of
Judge Eakln is the first mads by an
Oregon Court on the point at issue,
although courts of other states have
passed upon It.
The suit was brought to recover
IS9.275.85, the amount of the defunct
bank's net Indebtedness at the time of
failed.
The demurrer overruled today asked
that the complaint be set aside on the
ground that a claim of this kind la not
an aset of the corporation and that
the ret elver who. it was alleged, was
the representative of the corporation
and not of its creditors, could not bring
a suit to recover on such a claim.
The court held that a claim of this
kind ts one on which a corporation has
a cause of action and that such cause
of action pases to the receiver, us.
sIsb'o or other officers who may have
charge of the liquidation of the corpor
ation affairs. This means that the case
will be brought to trial on its iiurits
and it will be heard before a Jury,
probably early in June, when the petit
Jury will be reconvened.
The suit was bused on the alienation
that the defendant was an officer and
director of the defunct Institution and
misappropriated the. bank's funds in
conjunction with the. other directors,
by loaning the Seaside dumber
ac Manufacturing Company 135.000.
when the entire paid up capital stock
of the bank was only J22.600. It alo
was charged in the complaint that
the defendant misappropriated the
bank's funds by declaring two divi
dends of 10 cents a share each. one.
September 2. 190T. and the other. April
10. 1HU9. when the bank was Insolvent.
These dividends were declared. It Is
alleged, at meetings of the directors,
which were attended by the defendant.

SALEM. Or.. April 29. (Special.)
With I. W. W. soapbox orators on one
hand declaring against present alleged
unsanitary and low wage conditions
at the Oregon Electric camp, and on
the other hand representatives of con
tractors protesting to the officers Jjiat
the I. W. W. forces have threatened
to k:Il and blow up SH workers who
still remain on the extension construc
tion south of the city, the strike which
was precipitated Saturday Is assuming
a rather acute situation.
Armed guard. were employed today
and tonioit are stationed ibout the
camp. The guards ar-- Elmer James
and itny Welch, both formeily mem
bers ofth police force here. James
figured strongly In tl." convfet man
hunt at Ruena Vista a few years into,
and Welch Iih-h gained some notoriety
along the same lines.
From the move mai'.e today It Is
taken that the employers cons'tlcr the
situation more serious than it oulri be
generally believed. At the same time
tne strikers In the majority l.nve ex
pressed themselves as belli desirous
of wishing to attempt no trouble at the
ramp.
Threats to Kill Are Made.
The employers have notified the of
ficers here that no trouble has been
expected, although with the same noti
fication came word that I. W. W. men
have made threats against foreign la
borers still atAthc camp that if they
did not leave and desist from .efforts
to work that dire consequences would
follow.
Whatever may be the true situation,
it i certain that work will be held up
for some days at least.
Today over 3o of the strikers re
mained on guard, watching the ap
proach of incoming Oregon Electric
trains to ascertain If strikebreakers
were arriving, and with the end in
view to use persuasion to keep them
from the Job. It was declared by some
'that If strikebreakers arrived and at
tempted to get to the camp that trou
ble would ensue, but the majority of
the strikers said they would use noth
ing further than moral suasion and
argument.
Radicals lo Minority.
Apparently, from what can be gath
ered by personal conversation with the
strikers, the "hotheads" who would
take radical measures are in the min
ority. Rut there are some of the men
who intimated that they would not
hesitate at any measure which would
tend- to assure them victory In the
strike.
The employers seem to have no par
ticular fear as to the eventual outcome
and look to see the work progress as
rapidly as before, as soon as the weath
er clears. Today rain effectually
stopped all work, if there had been a
sufficient crew on hand.

asylum, and inveigling J. M. Berry', an
old man of Hlllsboro, to ride to Port
land with him. will be deported to Ida
ho as soon as he is in proper condition,
was the statement of Superintendent
Stelner today.
Allen was violently Insane at the In
stitution all day today and" it was with
difficulty that he was handled on oc
casions. Allen was some time ago committed
to the asylum at Medical Lake, Wash
ington, where he remained about 10
d.iyA. when he was paroled to his wife,
who lives in Coeur d'Alene. Idaho.
Taken to Coeur d'Alene, he remained for
a time, when he was committed to the
Oroflno asylum. From there he was
allowed to leave for California, but got
only as far as Pendleton, when he again !
became Insane and was committed to
the asylum here.
He had been here but a comparatively
short time when he conceived the Idea
of the break which he successfully car
ried out a few days ago.
He U considered a highly dangerous

people in Salem who remember of him
there, he was engaged In the real es
tate business and at one time was con
sidered prosperous and a man Of med
ium wealth, lie entered into some vis
ionary transactions which caused his
sanity to be questioned while he was on
a trip to Spokane and was sent to the
asylum. On his return to Coeur d'Alene
he threatened to shoot the editor of a
newspaper for mentioning-his plight,
and also threatened to kill a probate
Judge before whom he was taken.
Superintendent Steiner states that
Allen has property in Idaho, pays taxes
there and should be kept in that state,
as he Is of the opinion his mental con
dition is such that he will never be able
to be allowed to go free from an in
sane asylum. Mrs. Allen is now in the
city.
Mrs. Julian Heath conducted a campaign
against Insanitary laundries in New York
last Spring- and found much that reeded
attention. She suggested to the owners
screened lights and other guards against
danger.
