THE MORXTXCr OREGONIAN, SATURDAT, SEPTEMBER 26. 1914. MOO PUBLISHES HIS LIST OF BANKS Campaign Following Charge of Exacting Excessive In , terest Goes On. RESERVE CITIES ACCUSED Secretary Says He Is Informed New York Banks Make Money Cost Correspondents Eight Per Cent or More. WASHINGTON, Sept. a5. Continuing his campaign against high interest rates ana the hoarding' of money by banks. Secretary McAdoo made public tonight a lint of nearly 250 National banks, in all sections ot the country, outside reserve and central reserve titles, which are carrying reserve in exress of legal requirements. The list is based on reports to the Controller of the Currency in answer to his call of September 12. It shows that the reserves in these banks run Iroin 25 per i'ent to 74 per cent, the leiil minimum being 15 per cent. "If," K:iid Mr. McAdoo, in a state ment Riven out with the list, "the large amount of loanable funds that are kept from active employment, as indicated by these figures, were invested In com mercial or agricultural paper, or lent on iMoper security the present situa tion would bo greatly relieved." The Secretary's . statement, referred to the list as showing "some" of the National bunks carrying excessive re fcives and It was understood that fur ther, lists would follow iu accordance with his recent announcement. Included in Secretary. McAdoo's list Ihowing the percentage of reserves car ried by each bank are the following: Montana F'irst National, Butte, 41 per rent; Yellowstone National, Bil linprs. per cent; Kirst National, Great Falls. 35 per cent; First National, Olas gow, "!i per cent. Washington First National, Belling ham. 87 per cent: Yakima National, North Ynkima. 3!) per cent: Capital Na tional. Olympia, 41 per cent. Oregon First National, Vale, 35 per C(nl. Kxcesssive Interest Alleged. Secretary McAdoo today sent a tele gram to the New York, Boston, Chi cago and St. Louis clearing-house chairman, saying: "I have received complaints about hi.h rates of interest which are being charged by the National banks of New York, Boston, Chicago and other re serve cities. It is alleged that the New York banks are requiring their correspondent banks throughout the country to pay 7 per cent for loans and to maintain a balance with the New York banks, which makes the money cost the correspondent banks the equivalent of 8 per cent or more. Specific cases have been brought to my attention where banks in cities of the South have been required to pay these high Interest rates. If New York charges the equivalent of 8 per cent interest to the correspondent banks, the money cost to the ultimate borrower is made high, if not exorbitant. 'From all the evidence before me T cannot feel that the charge of 7 to 8 per cent interest by the New York banks is justified, under the circum- stancee. Withdrawals Are Threatened. "I have taken the position with all the banks of the conutry that I will not knowingly issue additional National bank currency to or deposit Govern ment funds with banks which charge excessive rates of Interest or which are refusing to meet legitimate de mands for reasonable credits. I have also taken the position that I will with draw Government funds from National banks which are hoarding money and restricting credits through the, main tenance of excessive reserves. The New York banks generally have not been hoarding money or maintaining excessive reserves, but they appear to be charging higher rates of interest than the conditions seem to justify. "I am using every just effort to per suade the banks throughout the coun try to extend reasonable credits and at reasonable rates of Interest to meet the existing unusual conditions created by the European war, and which, if dealt with in a helpful spirit by all con cerned, should quickly ameliorate. Eumiile of Liberality Desired. "I should like to see the New York -banks take the lead in establishing and maintaining moderate rates of interest for accommodations, as their example always has a large influence upon banking action and sentiment In the country. If this course Is pursued by the leading bankers in New York and other money centers, a real public serv ice will be rendered and a return to normal conditions of business will be quickened. "I have been using to the utmost every power of this Department to as sist the general business situation and the banks and I ask only for co-opera tion on the part of the banks in an unselfish and patriotic spirit." THREE MORE ARE MISSING Portland 'Schoolboy, Eugene Sales man and Cunby Resident Sought.

Scnator Overman Announces Probabil ity of Investigations by Spe cial Committee. ; "WASHINGTON. Sept. 25. Frequent charges and insinuations that insidious Influences have been at work in Wash ington in connection with anti-trust and rivers and harbors legislation have prompted Senator Overman, chairman of the special lobby investigating com mittee, to consider calling his commit tee to complete its inquiry begun more than a year ago. - Senator Overman said today that the committee probably . would resume its work as soon as its members could find time to devote to. the work. It would then consider the advisability of extending its inquisition into the activities of individuals and organiza tions alleged to have been urgng river and harbor appropriations and oppos ing the Federal trade commission and Clayton anti-trust bills. It also would complete inquiries begun several months ago into influences alleged to have operated here against repeal of the Panama tolls exemption for Ameri can ships. "As soon as possible," said Senator Overman, "the committee will complete its investigation and make a report on all phases of the inquiry, including the exhaustive investigation of the tariff lobby. When that is done I propose to press my bill for the prohibition of in sidious lobbying and regulation of legitimate lobbying before Congress." Senator Reed, of Missouri, who is a member of the special committee, de clared today that he would insist upon inquiry into the operations of certain individuals' in connection with the anti-trust legislation. CANADA LACKS GENERAL KlTCHKMSR TO NO M I X ATE, DOMIN ION ASKED TO RATIFY. Artillery May Be Sent to Front Almost at Once. Because of Allies Need of Guns. - - OTTAWA, Sept. 25. The commander of the Canadian expeditionary force will be designated by. Lord Kitchener after the troops reach England, the War Office"- will disclose . the name of the General who has been selected to lead in battle and the Canadian gov ernment will be asked to ratify the uominatlon. This method of choosing a commander has been adopted because of a feeling that there is no man in Canada to whom the leadership of an army of 30,000 men could fairly be in trusted. The Canadian artillery, it is thought, may be sent to the fVont almost imme diately, as the allies need guns. The medical corps also' may have an early call for active service. It had been expected that all branches of the Cana dian forces would receive considerable further training in England, but the artillery is said already to be well up to tne standard of the regular army. Some of the infantry regiments which show exceptional proficiency also may be sent to the front in advance of the division as a whole. . If it is decided to give the entire force final training, the infantry prob ably will go to Aldershot and the ar tillery to Salisbury Plain. INDIAN WITNESSES IN JAIL Liquor Purchase Before Court Ses sion Is Alleged. Two Klamath Indians. George Brown and Willie George, brought to Portland to testify before the Federal grand Jury in connection with an alleged at tack made upon Floyd Brown by Glal Chlloquin, another Klamath Indian, are in jail as a result of being drunk when they were brought into the grand jury room to testify Thursday. Finding that both Indians were un der the Influence of liquor when called in turn as witnesses, W. C. Alvord, foreman of the grand jury, sent them to Federal Judge Bean, .who ordered them placed in jalL Upon investigation, the authorities discovered that George Brown and Cain Conchin had purchased two quarts of "boose," probably at the Manhattan Cafe on First street. When Brown and Conchin identified John Erlckson as the bartender who sold them the liquor, Erlckson was arrested, yesterday, for violating the law in selling liquor to Indians. The entire matter Is now be ing considered by the grand Jury, which will report probably Monday To the Readers of The Oregonlan. Thursday morning, Sept. 24, The Ore gonlan misprinted several reader ad vertisements for Calef Bros., the East Side Housefurnlshers, and wishes to make this explanation. The article read "Closing Out and Fire Sale," which was Incorrect. It should have read "Closing out and fire sale prices are shot to pieces during our nine-day sale." Calef Bros. - are not going out of business, nor are they having a fire sale, but they are having a nine-day sale, in which they are reducing their prices for cash as low aa the stocks that are being closed out and fire damaged goods are being sold for.

BRITISH REPORT ISSUED Vessels Sunk by German Submarine Declared to Have Fired at At tackers Xnmber Regarded as Xot Established. (Continued From First Page.) their consort and remained with engines stopped, endeavoring to save life, thus presenting an easy and cer tain target to further submarine at tacks. Rescue Work Forbidden. "The natural promptings of humanity have in this case led to heavy losses which would have been avoided by strict adherence to military consider ations. Modern naval war is presenting us with so many new and strange situ ations that an error of Judgment of this character is pardonable.- But it has been necessary to point out for the further guidance of His Majesty"s ships that conditions which prevail when a vessel of a squadron is Injured in a mine field' or is exposed to submarine attack are analogous to those which occur in action and that the rule ot leaving disabled ships to their own re sources Is applicable so far. at any rate, aa large vessels are concerned. ."No act of humanity, whether to friend or foe, should lead to neglect of the proper precautions and dispositions of war and no measures can bo taken to save life which prejudice the mili tary situation. Small crafts of all kinds should, however, be directed by war to close on the damaged ship at all speed. Character of Attack Deplored. "The loss of nearly 60 officers and 1400 men would have not been grudged If it had been brought about by gun fire in an open action. But it Is pecu liarly distressing under the conditions which prevailed. The absence of any of the ardor and excitement of an en gagement did not. however, prevent the display of discipline, cheerful cour age and ready self-sacrifice among all ranks and ratings exposed to the ordeal. "The duty on which these vessels were engaged was an essential part of the arrangements by which the control of the seas and the safety of the country are maintained and the lives lost are as usefully, aa necessarily and as gloriously devoted to the require ments of His Majesty's service as if the loss bad been incurred in a gen eral action. Lout Shins Obsolete. "In view or - the , certainty of a proportion of misfortunes of this char acter occurring from time to time, it is important that this point of view should be thoroughly appreciated. The loss or these three cruisers, apart from the loss of life. is of small naval signiifcance. Although they were large and powerful ships, they belonged to a class of cruisers whose speed has been surpassed by many of the enemy's battleships. .- "Before the war it had -been decided that no more money should be spent in repairing any of this class and that they should make their way to the sale list as soon as defects became manifest." "The report on the sinking of the Cressy signed by 'Bertram W. L. Nicholson, commander of the late H. W. S. Cressy, follows: "Sir: I have the honor to submit the following report in connection with the sinking o H. M. S, Cressy in com pany with H. II. S. Aboukir and Hogue on the morning of the 22d of Septem ber while on patrol duty: Boats Are Sent Oat. "The Aboukir was struck at about 6:25 A. M. on the starboard beam. The Hogue and Cressy closed and took up a position, the Hogue ahead of the Aboukir and the Cressy about 400 yards on her port beam. As soon as it was seen that the Abkouir was in danger of soon sinking, all the boats were sent away from the Cressy and a picket boat was hoisted out without steam up. When boats full of the Aboukir's men were returning to the Cressy the Hogue was struck, apparently under the aft 9.27 magazine, as a heavy explosion took place immediately. Almost di rectly after the Hogue was hit we ob served a periscope on our port bow, about 300 yards off. " 'Fire was immediately opened and the engines were put full speed ahead with the Intention of running her down. Our gunner, Mr. Doughert. positively asserts that he hit the periscope and that the submarine sank. An officer who was standing alongside the gunner thinks that the shell struck only float ing timber, of which there was much about, but it was evidently the im pression of the men on deck, who cheered and clapped heartily, that the submarine had been hit. This sub marine did . not tire a torpedo at the Cressy. Another Periscope Seen. " 'Captain Johnson then maneuvered the ship so as to render assistance to the crews of the Hogue and Aboukir. About live minutes later another peri scope was seen on our starboard quar ter, and fire was opened. The track of the torpedo she tired at a range of 500 to 600 yards was plainly visible, and it struck us on the starboard side just before the aft bridge. 'The ship listed about 10 degrees to the starboard and remained steady. The time was 7:15 A. M. All the water tight doors, deadlights and scuttles had been securely closed before the torpedo struck the ship. All the mess stools and all available timber below and on deck had been previously got up and thrown over side for the saving of life. " 'A second torpedo fired by the same sub marine missed and passed about 10 feet astern. About a quarter of an hour after the first torpedo had hit, a third torpedo, fired from a subma rine Just before the starboard beam, bit us under the No. 5 boiler-room. The time was 7:30 A. M. The ship then began to heel rapidly and finally turned keel-up, remaining so for about 20 minutes before she finally sank at 7:55 A. M.' " Sinking; Hull Narrowly Aliased. : " 'A large number of men were saved by casting- adrift on pattern three tar-, get. The steam pinnacle floated out of her crutches, but filled and sank. " 'The second torpedo which struck the Cressy passed over the sinking hull of the Aboukir, narrowly missing it. It is possible that the same submarine fired all the three torpedoes at the Cressy. " 'The conduct of the crew was ex cellent throughout. I have already re marked on the bravery displayed by Captain Phillips, master of the trawler L. T. Coriander", and his . crew, who picked up 156 officers and men.' " The report of Commander Reginald A. Norton, late of H. M. S.- Hogue. fol lows: "I have the honor to report as follows concerning the sinking of the Hog-ue, Aboukir and Cressy: Between 6:15 and 6:30 A. M. II. M. S. Aboukir was struck by a torpedo. The Hogue closed -on the Aboukir and I received orders to hoist out the launch, turn out and prepare all timber. Two lifeboats were sent to the Aboukir, but before the launch could get away the Hogue was struck on the starboard side amidships by two torpedoes at intervals of 10 to 20 seconds. " Water Bursts Open Doors. "The ship at once began to heel to starboard. After ordering the men to get into the boats on the booms and take off their clothes, I went, by Cap tain Nicholson's directions, to ascertain the damage in the engine-room. The artificer engineer informed me that the water was over the engine-room grat ings. "While I was endeavoring to return to the bridge the water burst open the starboard entry port doors and the ship heeled rapidly. I told the men in the port battery to Jump overboard, as the launch was close alongside, and soon afterward the ship lurched heavily to starboard. "I clung to a ring bolt for some time, but finally dropped on to the deck and a huge wave washed me away. I climbed up the ship's side and was again washed off. Eventually, after swimming about from various over laden pieces of wreckage, I was picked up by a cutter from the Hogue, Coxswain L. S. Marks, which pulled about for some hours picking up men and discharging them to our picket boats and steam pinnace, and to the Dutch steamers Flora and Titan, and rescued in this way Commander Sells (of the Aboukir), Engineer Commander Stokes, with legs broken; Fleet Pay master Eldred, and about 120 others. Twenty Too III to Be Moved. "Finally, about 11 A. M-, when we could find no more men in the water, we were picked up by the Lucifer, which proceeded to the Titan and took off from her all our men except about 20, who were too ill to be moved. "A Lowestoft trawler and the two Dutch ships Flora and Titan were ex traordinarily kind; clothing and feeding our men. My boat's crew, consisting mainly of royal navy reserve men, pulled and behaved remarkably well. I particularly wish to mention Petty Officer Halton. who, by encouraging the men In the water near me, undoubt edly saved many lives. "Lieutenant - Commander Phlllips Wooley, after hoisting out the launch, asked me if we should try to hoist out another boat, and endeavored to do so. The last I saw of him was on- the aft-brldge, doing well. "Lieutenant-Commander Tlllard was plcKed up by a launch. He got up a cutter's crew and saved many lives, as did Midshipman Cazalet in the Cres sy's gig. Lieutenant Chichester turned out the whaler very quickly." Dutch Trawler Sails Away. "A Dutch mailing trawler sailed close by but went off without rendering any assistance, although we signalled to her from the Hogue to come close after we were struck. "The Aboukir appeared to me to take about 35 minutes to sink, floating bottom-up for about five minutes. The Hogue turned turtle quickly, in about five minutes, and floated bottom-up for several minutes. A dense black smoke was seen in the starboard battery, whether from coal or torpedo cordite, I could not say. The upper deck was not blown up, and only one other small explosion when we heeled over. "The Cressy I watched heel over from the cutter. She heeled over to star board slowly, dense black smoke Is suing from her when she attained an angle of about 90 degrees, and she took a long time from this angle till she floated bottom-up with the starboard screw slightly out of the water, which I consider. it was 30 to 35 minutes from the time she was struck until she was bottom-up. Men In Water Obey Orders. "All the men on the Hogue behaved extraordinarily well, obeying orders even when in the water swimming for their lives, and I witnessed many cases of great self-sacrifice and gallantry. Farmstone. able seaman of the Hogue. jumped overboard from the launch to make room for others, and would not avail himself of the assistance until all the men nearby were picked up. He was in the water about half an hour. "There was no panic of any sort, the men taking oft their clothes, as ordered, and falling- in with hammock or wood. Captain Nicholson, in our other cutter, as usual, was perfectly cool, and rescued large numbers of men. I last saw him alongside the Flora. Engineer Commander Stokes, I believe, was in the engine-room to the last, and Engineer Lieutenant-Commander Fendrlck srot steam an the hnal hoist and worked It in five minutes. "I have the honor to submit that I may be appointed to another ship as soon as I can get a kit" EXPORT LOSS IS HEAVY EUROPEAN WAR IS COSTLY TO AMERICAN TRADE. August, 1914, Figures 977,000,000 Leas Than Same Month In I913 Manufactures Hardest Hit. WASHINGTON, Sept. 25. Tremen dous decreases in American export trade during August, resulting from war in Europe, were shown in detail today by comparisons of the depart ment of commerce with the business of one year ago. Export trade to Ger many practically came to a standstill while that to France and England, whose shipping has not been so seriously interrupted, showed only a comparatively small decrease. Trade to Belgium and that to Argentina, which depends largely on foreign ship ping, suffered heavily. The decrease in August's export trade to Europe as a whole amounted to 58.32),619. That represented in a large measure the decrease in credit abroad as employed to offset American obligations. The falling oft reached more than $77,000,000. One year ago the total was $187,909,020, compared with $110,369,240 last month. The effect of the war upon Ameri can import trade last month amounted to i23,-( tx.sau, compared with $137 651.553 in August 1913. Manufactures showed the largest de crease in exports among the various groups. Food stuffs almost maintained their level of one year ago.

Chief Justice of the Idaho Supreme Court, died at the Mountain View Sanitarium at midnight Thursday, following: a cerebral hemor rhage. He bad been a patient at the sanitarium since May 18. and had suf fered two strokes of paralysis. Chief Justice Stewart was 57 years old and a resident of Boise, Idaho. Last Spring he was stricken with paralysis and was brought to Portland. He suf fered another stroke a few weeks ago. and from that -time sank slowly. The body is at the F. S. Dunning- under taking parlors. Judge Stewart's son will arrive today from Boise, and the body will be taken.to that city to night. George H. Stewart was born In Con norsvllle. Ind.. Feb. 26. 1858, and was admitted "to the Indiana bar in 1881. After his marriage in 1886 to Miss Ag nes L. Sheets, of Fowler, Ind., he re moved to Nebraska. There he ' served two terms as Prosecuting Attorney In Frontier County. From 1897 to 1907 he was District Judge In the Third Judicial District of Idaho, and Associate Justice of the Su preme Court from 1907 until a year ago. when he became Chief Justice. Politically, Mr. Stewart was a Re publican. Besides his judicial offices he was a trustee of the Albion State Nor mal School In Idaho, and for eight years was a member of the Board of Education in Boise. HEALTH I5IPAIKED BY FALL North Idaho Man Expected to Get Judge Stewart's Place. BOISK. Idaho. Sept. 25 (Special) The death of Justice Stewart, of the Supreme Court of this state, at Dr. Williamson's sanitarium in Portland at an early hour this morning, creates an other vacancy on the Supreme bench of Idaho which Governor Haines will be required to fill by appointment until a successor can be elected at the next general election. Death was due to a general breakdown in health following a stroke of paralysis during the Coeur d'Alene term of court last Spring. He had been in the Portland sanitarium for four months. Justice Stewart's death Is the first vacancy on the Supreme bench so cre ated since territorial days. He was born at Connersvllle, Ind., February 26, 1858. and was graduated from the law department of the North Indiana Nor mal School in 1886. Until 1890 he prac ticed law In Nebraska and In that year moved to Idaho, forming a partnership here with William E. Borah. In 1893 he was elected to the State Legislature as Senator and In 1896 was appointed judge of the District Court for Ada County. In 1906 be was elected justice of the Supreme Court and re-elected two years ago to succeed himself, hold ing his seat on the bench until his death. Last "Winter he suffered a se vere fall which weakened him. Two years ago he was operated on twice for muscular trouble of the neck. The death o Justice Stewart calls upon Governor Haines to appoint a majority of the members of the Su preme Court. The Governor recently appointed Judge Warren Truitt to suc ceed James F. Atlshie. resigned, to hold office until his successor is elected in November. It is probable a Northern man will succeed Justice Stewart. Rotarians Are Guests. Doctors, lawyers, merchants, chiefs.

No comic opera star had ever before played in the Greek Theater at Berke ley and in being asked to-appear with in the classic precincts of the edifice that had known Sarah Bernhardt's "Phedre" and.
