TITE MORNING OREGONIAN. "WEDNESDAY, MAT 8, 1912. i1t CLOSED BANK MAY REOPEN IK 80 DAYS Depositors and Former Cash ier of American Bank & Trust Assure Move. 45 PER CENT DIVIDEND HELD 000 of XcmMrr 4333,000 Capital eeded to Reorganise In stitution Is Available Xon, Jajs Attorney; Rrt Sure. At the solicitation of a committee of the depositors of the American Bank A rrut Company, which wa closed by Rank Examiner Wrlffbt. Circuit Judge Karanauch yesterday signed an order deferring the payment of a dividend of 44 per cent to the depotiltora () days from May 10. the date on which a for mer court order railed for lta payment. The object of the move ia to give C. L McGtbbon. ex-cashter of the bank, and Charles Kleman. who have been working on a reorganization scheme, a chance to put their deal through. W. A. Burke, an attorney represent ing the depositors and the promoters of the reorganisation scheme, said that such arrangements have been made that 1195.000 of the $::S.00 capital needed baa been assured. Prasalarat Mia Offers Aid. "Certain parties came to Mr. Mc Gibbon and told him that If he could ' get the depositors to subscribe ITS.uuO in stock they would put In $105,000." said Attorney Burke. "I have here In my case a written agreement of a prom inent business man who promises to take 115.000 worth of stock to assist In reorganisation. He wishes his name withheld for business reasons, but I will show the paper to your honor In confidence. I am certain that reorgani sation can be perfected Inside (0 days, and It means paying dollar for dollar to the depositors Instead of i per cent." Attorney Dan Powers, himself a de positor and representing others, urged that only 30 days be given. lie called attention to the fact that It costs J600 of the depositors' money for each month thaf the winding up of the bank is de ferred. He and State Bank Examiner Wright demanded to "be shown" with respect to the I10S.0O0. Attorney Burke demurred on the ground that Messrs. McUlbbon and Kleman did not wish to give away their business secrets. Mr. Burke, however. exhibited certain papers to the Judge and the order was signed. Part at Depoaltera Agree. C A. Hoy. chairman of an organisa tion of depositors, and C. W. Hod son. representing assigned accounts, spoke in favor of permitting time to complete the reorganisation scheme. . -The law states." aaid Mr. Hodson. "that the Bank Examiner may approve a scheme of reorganisation. I have known Mr. Wright for JO years, and I am sure that he haa no desire to block a scheme which might put this Institu tion on its feet. The difference between 45 per cent and 100 per cent Is con siderable. Assets of the bn which have been listed as not Immediately negotiable could probably be realized upon If carried over for some time. Thla would be better than having them sold at auction." Mr. Wright said that he had no desire to block the plan If Judge Kavanaugh were satisfied that It was not a mere promoting scheme, and that a good chance to put the bank on Its feet really existed. Extraalaa ta Jaly I t.lvea. The first court order called for the payment of the 45 per cent dividend on April IS. The date was then advanced to May 10 at the solicitation of Mr. Mr-Gibbon and Mr. Kleman. The new order of yesterday glvea them till July 10 to complete their plans and have he institution running. Mr. Burke ex pressed confidence that it could be done. Bank Examiner Wright now has on hand IS0.OOO with which to pay the 45 per cent dividend It It Is ever actually declared. The order provides that Messrs. Mc Gibbon and Kleman are to have space In the bank for their work or reorgani sation. KRIBS TO MOVE TIM3ER Mevenon Espects to no Very Busy Town as ItcMtlt. W. L.

As soon as the timber starts to move. Stevenson will be on the boom. We have six mills, and they have been closed now for more than a year.

Krfort Will Re Made to Have Immi gration Station at This Tart Before Canal Open. Whether an Immigration and quaran tine station shall be established at this port In preparation for the Increase of foreign Immigration expected to fol low the opening of the Panama Canal, will bo taken under consideration a! once by the committee on rivers, har bors and navigation of the Portland Chamber of Commerce, of which L. J. Wentworth la chairman. The subject was referred to the com mittee by the Board of Trubtees at Its meeting yesterday with Instructions to report before the next regular meeting. Tlie Chamber will make Its recommen dations and preparations for taking the matter up In Congress, entirely upon the- findings of this committee. While it Is the general sentiment that such preparations should be made be fore the opening of the canal, one of the questions that will have to be decided before deflate action is taken. Is whether the station, if established for this port, shall be situated at As toria or In Portland. Among other business at the meeting, the Portland Chamber voted In favor of the Associated Chambers of the Pa cific Coast Inviting members of a sub committee from the House of Repre sentatives to come to the Paclflo Coast and visit all the more Important ports, to study at first hand their needs In the matter of harbor improvement. Ex pense of the trip will be borne by the Assoclatud Chambers. The plan to Invite the visit of the ub-commlttre originated In the Port land Chamber of Commerce about a month ago and was yesterday re ferred to the trustees for the vote of the Chamber. It is thought that all members of the Associated Chambers will favor the plan. Official notice was received by the trustees from the Port of Portland of the new pilotage rules, which guarantee to boats operated under reg ular monthly schedules, pilotage rates not to exceed those In force on the Sound. The Chamber will reply with a request that this provision be made broader so as to Include all boats run ning Into this port. The Chamber still remains on record, however, as asking for free pilotage. Water Right. Adjudicated. SALEM. Or.. May 7. (Special.)

HARRY HILLIARD AND IDA ADAIR AT BAKER Two of Portland's Favorite Stars Make Initial Bow Here in Stock Productions. - vow - N . "6 -J TWO new leading people are Intro duced to patrons of the popular Baker Stock Company In Harry Hllliard and Ida Adair. In the strictest sense of the word neither Mr. Hllliard nor Miss Adair are making their Initial bow to Portland audiences, but as coworkers at the Baker they are new to us. Early this season Mr. Hllliard. who Is a Llebler & Co. star, and only loaned for this Summer stock occasion, came to the Hellig in "The Deep Purple." It was Immediately following that en gagement that Manager Baker took steps to get Mr. Hllliard under contract for bis present engagement. Mr. Hllliard has been with the Lleb ler firm for three years. He Is of that pleasing type of actor known In the profession as juvenile leading man; Is of a strong, virile personality, and all of bis dramatic work has won for hlrn universal recognition from public and press alike. He Is of that exclusive body of actors a real matinee hero and. like James K. Hackett, John Drew and Henry Miller. In their early days, he Is the recipient constantly of dosens of mash notes In every mall. ...... But. like Eva Tanguay. he doesn't JUDICIAL RECALL HIT Ex-Senator Fulton Would Alter Oregon System. PRESENT FAULTS SHOWN Speaker at Rotary Clnb Luncheon Declares Certain Modifications Would Be Benefit to Resi dents of State. "I am opposed to the recall of Judges and of Judicial decisions," said ex Senator Fulton, addressing the mem bers of the Rotary Club yesterday upon "the Oregon system." "Other officials deal with actions that are always of direct public In terest," he continued. "In such cases the recall might be a means of hold ing them to the execution of the pledges to the people upon which they gained their election. But a judge Is always an arbiter between Individuals. His duty Is not to carry out any policy or put Into effect any platform: not to see that public sentiment Is carried out; but to see that absolute justice Is done to the Individual litigants." Mr. Fulton oeclared that the con stitutional law Is framed to protect the minority. "The majority Is able to protect It self." he said, "and making Judicial decisions subject to the will of the majority, which Is frequently unjusti fied in Us attitude toward the minority, jeopardises constitutional law. "A cowardly Judge.y he declared, "is Just as dangerous as a corrupt judge When you Inaugurate a system that makes cowards of our Judges, you Inaugurate a system that makes Justice subject to the whim of any passing public opinion." "I am not opposed to the Oregon system In principle." he said at the beginning of his address, "unless you Include with the Initiative, tne reier- endum and the direct primary, the re call of judges and of judicial decisions as an essential cart of the system." He held, however, that the principles of the Oregon system should be put Into operation In a form more moaineo than at present. Before laws go upon the ballot by initiative petition, he be lieved that they should be referred to some responsible commission or legis lative body for careful consideration and amendment, thus avoiding the pass. age of laws which, while good in their Intent, are frequently votea upon In a "half-baked" form and contain many flaws that should bave been eliminated. "I believe also," he said, "that it should be made harder for us to Initiate laws or to invoke the referendum. They are measures that snoum not do in voked except on matters of great and far-reaching Importance. Ha said that the practice of cJr culatlng petitions should be abolished or placed In the hands or regularly au thorised state and county officers. The practice of circulating petitions as It now exists, be declared tp be vicious and productive of vicious conditions. Referring to the case of the petitions against the University ot Oregon ne said: "This petition fraud Is dis graceful and It ought not to stand, and moreover, the system should be so changed as to prevent Its repetition." Mr. Fulton favored a party assembly to be held before each primary election, which should recommend a ticket to the people, without, however, making It Impossible for the people to put up other nominees if they see fit. Some responsible body. he held, could render -valuable aid to tbe people In suggesting candidates and would make the direct primary stronger. He gave his own personal experience in the recent primaries in voting for the It State Representatives. Few of the can didates were known to him. and be said that he was" at a loss how to mark his ballot. A suggestion from a responsible assembly as to a ticket r r mm care a bit, and goes right ahead at hard work. The present dip Into atock is proving a mental tax for a while. Inasmuch as It has been several seasons since he has played In stock, with its require ments of a new play each week, and dally rehearsals of the play to follow next week. "The Girl of the Golden West," is somewhat of a strain. Mr. Hllliard'a first schooling was re ceived In stock, that foundation on which all successful actors have agreed la best to build their structure. For a long time he was leading juvenile in Morosco's famous Burbank company of Los Angeles, then he Joined the Lleb lers, playing his first season with them In "Alias Jimmy Valentine." the same play he Is presenting this week at tbe Baker. The plays in which Mr. Hllliard will appear while with the company have all been chosen especially for him. Next week he enacts the outlaw in "The Girl of the Golden West," and In the next week Is Monty Brewster In "Brewster's Millions." After that "The Deep Purple." Miss Adair played an engagement of five weeks with the Baker Stock Com pany last aeaann. and made for herself a great local following. On her return she was accorded such a welcome as only atock patrons know how to srlvsj to those - who have become' favorites with them. v ) vy tmmm NATIONAL'S Cleanup Sale Every garment in the sample rooms must be sold at once to make room for large Summer shipments. $40 Suits, Cloaks and Dresses for S19.45 $30.00 Suits, Cloaks and Dresses for ...$14.95 $18.00 to $25.00 Cloaks.

Texas, where they went to attend the wedding of Mr. Wortman's brother. Mr. Wortman says the Rio Grande Valley Is developing in an agricultural way more rapidly than any other sec tion of the South, due to the bringing of large tracts of land under irriga tion, which causes the crops to mature fully four weeks earlier than they would under natural conditions, thus permitting the producer to market at a time when there, is no competition and when consumers are eager for them. Being an irrigated section, fall are of crops Is unknown. "What I saw should be an object les son to us In Oregon," said Mr. Wort man. "Especially Eastern Oregon, which is soon to come under railroad transportation and irrigation, with the superior possibilities and climatic ad vantages which go so far to Influence settlers. "Business conditions are good In California, as well as Oregon. The general Impression everywhere ia that upon the opening of the Panama Canal the Coast will come Into her own and we may look for a tremendous Influx of people at that time. People In Brownsville are not disturbed on ac see nothing and hear little about the revolution.
