MORRIS' POOL COMPLETE
$1,000,000 REORGANIZATION
FUND OVERSUBSCRIBED.
Committee Anounces Readiness
Bid on Assets of Bankrupt
Bond Dealers' Firm.
The Morris Bros.' reorganization
pool of $1,000,000 was completed two
weeks, ago, was the announcement by
E. W. Hardy yesterday, and. when
checking was completed it was found
there was an oversubscription. Eighty
per cent of the banks, bond houses
and trust companies were said to
have Joined the pool and there were ;
more than 900 signed trust agree
ments. The committee asserted that it is
now ready to bid on the assets of
the bankrupt bond house, waiting only
for the completion of an accurate list
of the assets for sale by Earl C.
Bronaugh, trustee.
The difficulty which delayed oper
ations of the trustees is that every
day a creditor or two files a reclama
tion suit with Referee Cannon, in
many cases asserting a right to spe
cific bonds. The tak will 'not be
completed until auditors for the
trustee can eliminate from the assets
all bonds over which there is a pos
sibility of further litigation. It was
said yesterday, however, that the
committee's bid would be tendered the
trustee within a short time.
A $50,000 suit will be started today,
it was announced yesterday by the
A. C. Hopkins estate, which was said
to have purchased $60,000 worth of
bonds shortly before the crash. Of
the entire amount $50,000 had been
paid to Morris Bros, three days before
the institution closed, the suit will
allege.
Trial of John L. Etheridge, Mrs.
Stella M. Etheridge, Forbes B. Pratt
and Fred S. Morris probably will be
set for the October term of the cir
cuit court, it was said yesterday.
Earlier trial was found impossible
on account of the crowded condition
of the docket, for September, the first
month of the fall term of court.

DEATH INDEXING CHANGES
STATE HEALTH BOARD BEGINS
PCTTlXi IX NEW SYSTEM.
Method of Recording Births and
Diseases Also Is to Be Com
pletely Revised.
Changes in the methods of compil
ing statistics, which -iuciude complete
indexing systems of the birth and
death certificates, and a compilation
of statistics as they are reported by
the various county health boards.
have been started in the state board
of health offices here by Dr. Freder
ick D. Strieker, secretary.
From now on the state board of
health will handle the report of the
b'rtha and deaths throughout the
state on triplicate report sheets, one
of these to go to the United States
government bureau, another to the
county and the third to a regularly
kept index file at the office.
The installation of the new system
will eliminate a great deal of super
fluous work and possible errors.
Heretofore the reports of the death
and birth certificates were not made
through the state board of health to
the government bureau. The addi
tional, changes are in the routine, in
dexing systems of filing reports of
cases of contagious diseases and oth
er reports so that accurate statistics
may be obtained on the cases
throughout the state.
Dr. Strieker declared that there
would be no change in the personnel,
of the board or of the assistants, but
merely in the reorganization of the
work of the office. A move also was
placed on foot by the state health
authorities to obtain new quarters,
preferably a building where the va
rious state offices can be more closely
connected in Portland than is now the
case. .
In keeping with the reorganization
w'U be the appointment of various
officers to the head of the different
bureaus, as suggested at the recent
meeting -of the board in Grants Paes.
The appointments to these offices are

t've to compiling of statistics of va
rious diseases. The work of the
county health bureaus will be brought
more closely into contact with that
