Creswell, Or., Stockholder In?
vestigates Conditions for
Himself.
MAILING LIST REFUSED
S. S. )lois Makes Special Trip to
Portland to Learn Facts Flrst
Hand, So Other Stockholders
Might Have Knowledge.
An extended statement in regard to
the affairs of the United States Cashier
Company, ot which he is a stockholder,
and which he declares he has found, on
personal investigation, to have been
conducted by the directors to the best
interests of the stockholders, was made
yesterday over his signature by S. b.
Morss, of Creswell, Or. Mr. Mores
made a special trip to Portland to make
inquiry as to the status of the com
pany. Mr. Morss says that his purpose in
making the statement is to inform oth
er stockholders of the condition of the
company and the facts in regard to the
litigation in which it is now involved.
This, he asserts, officers of the com
pany have been unable to do through
letters to the stockholders, because of
the action of tho temporary receiver
appointed by the court in refusing to
Jet them have the mailing list of the
stockholders. Mr. Morss statement is
Tegardel as reflecting the attitude of
those stockholders who oppose the
present suit against the company. The
statement follows in full.
Stockholder Olve Views.
Sein notices in th papers regarding
thA t- verahin suit asainst tho United
States Cashier Company, I came to Portland
from Creswell to make personal inquiry, on
account of beins a stockholder, and have
counted a cood deal on the future outcome
thin investment. Unon arriving here,
much to my surprise, I find that Justice is
meted out here much as we read of it being
ionft in Russia. Might apparently Is right.
StronK-arm methods prevail over more legiti
mate means. Upon approaching the direct
ors I find that they are reluctant to enter
Jnto a newspaper flRht. They are apparently
too dignified, hut it seems to me that out
side stockholders should be notified of the
ronditfons as 1 have found them; so I take
this occasion to state the facts for publica
tion, hoping that the stockholders as fl
whole will concur with me in my opinions,
knowing that their interests are being
Jeopard tied if these methods continue and
the directors are not backed up in their
endeavors at this time.
The statement made by the plaintiff that
the company was insolvent and on that
jrround obtaining a temporary receivership.
t-eems to me hardly warranted, considering
the facts that the receiver was appointed
Saturday night, a number of hours after
the courts had closed, without the courts
giving the cashier Company any hearing;
and it seems doubly strange that such a
thing could happen upon the complaint of
one small stockholder who had only held
his stock for a few days and could not pos
sibly know anything about tho condition of
the company.
I learn that Mr. Blrrel. who brought this
suit, purchased the ten shares of stock, total
j nr value $100. January 21. 3914. and brought
t!i is suit In hope of embarrassing the com
pany in their final negotiations with an
Eastern concern for the removal of the plant
'to IndanapolU, Ind., and thereby compel
thm tO'fknow ledge and mako payment in
whole qx. in part of an unjust claim of a
man named Hume, who is claiming $21,51)0
as a commission on the sale of the com
pany's manufacturing rights for tho Eng
lish territory, which he failed to consum
mate, although the papers transferring these
rights are still in escrow in London, it
being only necessary for the cash payment
to be made when the papers will be turnea
over to Mr. Hume's customers. The papers
still remaining 'in London show the com
pany's ftood faith and intention. T am also
told that Mr. Hume is a heavy debtor to
the parties who are back of this suit.
The plaintiff also claims that tho com
pany la insolvent. How could this stock
holder know that to be a fact when he had
never asked for a statement from the com
pany? There was no complaint on the part
ft any creditor, the facts being that the
directors had furnished some fou.OOO to pa
all the floating indebtedness of the coi
pany.
Patent Attorney lUts Allegations.
One of the dabs of mud thrown by the
plaintiffs In this embroglio was one setting
forth the statement that the patent rights
of the company valued at $100,000 are
worthless. In this connection I wish to
ouote herewith an exact copy of a telegram
received by the directors today from John
K. Robb, of Washington, D. C, a patent
attorney of international repute;
Day Letter. Washington, D. C.
United States Cashier Co.
Kenton, Or.
"Tn event you contemplate making extend
d response to stockholders in answer to Hume
charges published in Oregon Journal Thurs
day, wait for strong letter regarding patents
em forwarding today, which will go far
towards reassuring stockholders regarding
patent situation of company and controvert
Jiume i allegations.
"JOHN F. ROBB,
'Southern Building."
They also applied for an injunction
against tho shipment of the machinery east,
which was reasonable enough for the court
to grant until he could hear both sides, in
my opinion there is no reason for granting
the receivership.
In regard to tho transfer of the plant back
Cast, in a letter from President Menefee,
undor date of June 9, 1913, a copy of which
was mailed to each and every stockholder.
thn mutter nr mov nir to n n KHRlurn eifv n ns
et out, and since that time it has been
quite universally known that the company
contemplated a change of location, so that
there is absolutely no grounds tor the plain
tiff's assumption and statement that the di
rectors were trying to ship the machinery
and equipment out of the state without re
eard to the stockholders' interests.
Comparison to Russia Made.
Through the papers they have made a
statement that the Cashier Company refused
to turn over their books. The facts are
that they attempted to serve notice on Mr
E. C. Baker, who was not then or now an
officer or employe of tho company, and was,
In fact. In charge of the machinery for the
. Indiana corporation, the equipment having
been turned over from this company under
h. coniract agreea io be I ore Blrrell became
a stockholder. Mr, Baker did. however, tell
them that the books were In the safes In
their usual and customary places. He did
not consider himself the custodian nor at
liberty to open them. On the strength o:
that, the attorney for the plaintiff tele
phoned from the factory to his partner Ii
- town, which partner got Judge Davis to
issue a warrant for Mr. Baker's arrest for
contempt of court, committing him to jail
i'ir two aays wunout even giving him
hearing. Of course, they would not do any-
tniug ot this sort in Russia.
Last night they claim that they finally
found the books, making it appear as if
the Cashier Company had tried to hide
them, when as a matter of fact, they were
In the company's safe In their customary
place under the control of the temporary
receiver, who has a representative at the
factory both day and night. This, of course.
was just done to make it appear as if the
Cashier Company had something to cover
up or had spirited away the books.
I am informed by reputable attorneys that
a temporary receiver Is supposed only to
keep everything Intact as he finds it until
the court has finally decided whether to
appoint a permanent receiver or not, and
it is not supposed that he will allow anyone
access to the books for information. But
to show how nicely this is worked out in
this particular case, the Cashier officer
wanted to get a mailing list of the stock
holders so as to send them a letter which
had been prepared, but this was denied
him on advice of Mr. Clark, attorney for
the plaintiff, not tho judge. However, within
six hours after that, the receiver, together
with Mr. Birrel, the plaintiff (the owner
of $100 worth of stock). A. B. Clark, his
attorney, and representative of Mr. Hume,
fully examined the books and carried them
away with them and have not returned
them to the company's safes. What Is sauce
for the goose does not seem to be sauce for
the gander.
Case Delayed Until Today.
t went- no to the court todav. expecting
it would be definitely determined in regard
to the receivership, but the Judge, in His
wisdom, saw fit to grant the plaintiff a stay
of proceedings until Friday, regardless of
how injurious this delay may be to the
thousand or more stockholders of the United
States Cashier Company. That apparently
is of small importance compared with the
deep interest of the owner of lO- shares, al
though the investment of many of tho
stockholders runs into the thousands, and
they have been stockholders for a period
of from one to three years, instead of 10
days.
At a hurried meeting of such stockholders
as were in town the situation was explained
and the contract read, and they were unani
mous in their opinion that the directors had
acted wisely and petitioned the court to
allow mem to carry out tneir conuuci.
addition to this I have seen numerous tele
grams and letters from outside stockholders,
each and all of which heartily Indorse the
removal of the plant to Indianapolis and
feel that the director have done the beet
poi&ible for - the stockholders.
I also learned, much to my surprise, that
the directors have never drawn any salaries.
but have given freely of their credit, and a
large measure of their time tor the oeneiii
of the company. This. I think, will be ol
interest to the many stockholders, and If
NO TRACE IS FOUND OK
rilOE.MX GIRL WHO DISAPPEARS.
a- K" J
Fraaees LoudI.
As yet no trace has been found
of Miss Frances Lount, who
mysteriously disappeared from
her home last Thursday morning,
and everything Is being done to
set some clue as to her where
abouts. Mrs. H. Li. Mosher, an
aunt of Miss Lount, arrived
from Phoenix, Ariz., yesterday
to take up the search. Mrs.
Mother's daughter. Miss Julia
Mosher, who was living with her
aunt and Miss Lount, is pros
trated with grief at St. Vincent's
Hospital. From a time table .
dropped by Miss Lount it appears
that she left for Seattle or some
city on Puget Sound; but as 6he
is without friends, funds or rela
tives in the Northwest, other than
Mrs. Mosher and her daughter,
fears as to her safety are ex
pressed. Miss Lount came to Portland
about a month ago from Evans
vllle, Ind., where she had been In
a convent. Her father is a
wealthy ice manufacturer in
Phoenix. Miss Lount has always
had a desire to become a nun and
at present she may be attempting
to enter some institution in the
Northwest.
any of you fe-3l as if you want to indorse
the action of the directors, I am sure they
would appreciate a telegram or letter to
that effect. I believe that the stockholders
of the companyrwill serve their own interests
wisely by so dolns.
If the letter which had been prepared to
be sent to the stockholders had been per
mitted to be sent out by the receiver, you
would have known the facts in regard to
the contemplated move: but the directors
are denied the mailing list, and It Is there
fore Impossible to advise the stockholders
directly of tho exact conditions.
I have learned by this suit that in this
boasted land of justice any malicious stock
holder, no matter how small his interests
or how short his period of ownership, by the
aid of the court, can Injure if not break a
company, regardless of the interest of the
other 899 shareholders, who apparently have
no rights the Judge is bound to respect.
yours truly. s. S. MORSS.

CITY HALLANNEX URGED
MH. BREWSTER TO ARGUE OX MAK
I NO USE OP AUDITORIUM. y
Savttifc in Heating; Also Factor in l'a
vor of Dolpb Site Mr. Blgelow to
Make Separate Minority Report.
The possibility of tho proposed new
auditorium, if erected on the Dolph
property, across the street from the
City Hall, being used as an annex to
tne city Hall, which is overcrowded
with the increased number of city de
partments and employes, and the pos-
siDinty ot tne auditorium and the City
Hall being heated by the same , plant,
are arguments which Commissioner
Brewster will make in his fight be
fore the City Council for the selection
of the Dolph site, recommended by the
auditorium committee.
Commissioner Brewster says the City
tiaii, in, the course of a year or two.
will be inadequate to care for the city
uepartmenta.
It is the plan to have the auditorium
so arranged that public meetings can
be held there every day if desired.

At the regular meeting of the City
Council this morning Commissioner
Bigelow, a member of the auditorium
committee, will present a minority re
port favoring as a site for the buildin
the two blocks adjoining Holladay
farK on tne west.
Ho will make a special point of the
fact that the Market block has always
been considered a reservation for pub
lie markets and should not be con
sidered an asset in the auditorium
building fund, as it has been made In
the majority committee report favoring
the sale of the Market block to raise
money to help in the acquisition of the

COURT PROTECTS MATE 72
Judge McGinn Gives Divorce to Man
Instead of Wife, 58. -
Property accumulated by Joseph
Keebler as a result of hard labor and
careful saving: was protected for him
yesterday by Judge McGinn, who
granted a decree of divorce to him In
the suit brought by his wife, Mrs. Anna
Keebler. Mr. Keebler, who Is 72 years
old, and Mrs. Keebler, who gave her
age as 58, were married In February,
1912.
"This man married when he was 70
years old to have a companion In his
old age," said Judge McGinn. "I be-1
neve the story he has told and won t
allow this wife to have this property,
which is but a little, but which he
has saved during- a life of hard labor.
If his little fortune, which I believe
does not amount to more than $12.0C0,
had been accumlated by one of the get-rich-quick
methods I would find a way
to divide it with his wife, who is ask
ing for this divorce, but as conditions
are I must grant the decree to him."
Snuwshoe Trip of CO Miles Made.
ASHLAND. Or., Feb. 12. (Special.)--
Mr. and Mrs. J. F. Kimball have Just
made the trip from Klamath Falls to
Ashland, most of the way on snowshoes.
Mr. Kimball is in the employ of the
Weyerhaeuser timber interests, his
wife being associated with him in tho
work, and they have been locating
camps in the heavily timbered sections
for crews which aije to work under tho
auspices of the Government entomo
logical bureau in combating forest in
sect pests. The distance they covered
is more than 60 miles. The trip was a
leisurely one, with several stops made
at the Spencer and De Carlow lodges
and Parker's Station. Mrs. Kimball is
a daughter of C. B. Watson, of Ashland,
and for four years was Deputy Clerk
of Klamath County.
