BANK CHIEFS TD
FEEL LI'S FORCE
Ross and Burkhart Slated for
Indictment Tomorrow
by Manning.
OTHERS SOON TO FOLLOW
JLadd's Agreement With Depositors
Not Yet Signed and He Beaches
No Settlement With Amer
ican Surety Company.
Prwrtflent Hnss and Treasurer Burk
fiart, of the defunct Title bank, will be
Indicted tomorrow by District Attorney
Manning, for receiving deposits when
they knew their bank to be insolvent,
and for larceny of funds belonging to
the state school fund. Indictments of
Secretary Aitchison, Vice-President Hill
and State Treasurer Steel are expected
to follow.
Penalties provided by law are im
prosionment not exceeding two years, and
fine not exceeding J1000, or both fine and
imprisonment, for receiving deposits in
an insolvent bank; imprisonment not less
than one year nor more than 15 and
fine equal to twice the money involved,
for larceny of public funds. Defendants
will be charged with converting school
money to their own use an act pro
hibited by law. and constituting larceny.
They may also be indicted for perjury,
in mHking a false statement of their
bank's finances to the State Treasurer
when applying to be designated as state
depository. May 30, 1007.
Iadd's agreement to guarantee pay
ment of depositors will be signed this
week, but no progress lias been made in
bringing Ladd and the American Surety
Company together.
Iacld and the company appear to be
waiting each for the other to make some
move. Iadd evidently thinks himself in
a good strategic position to let the com
pany "sweat." But the company, being
in possession of valuable collateral, seems
to think it has the upper hand. The
bank's receiver will at once sue to regain
the collateral and yesterday served notice
through Receiver Mears attorney, on the
surety company's attorney, demanding
Its return.
The collateral was assigned by the bank
to the state. Just before the failure, to
secure the state's funds. It consists of
trust deed to timber land in Benton
County and mortgage on timber land in
Marion, both securities being valued at
close to $1.000.'JU0. The state s money in
the bank wreck is J395.000. of which the
surety company has paid J100.000 under
its bond, and has agreed to pay the re
mainder in two years at 5 per cent.
Accountants experting the bank's books
nay they never saw so big a tangle. Tile
books are complicated with all manner ot
cross entries.
Big losses were carried in the mys
terious "suspense account," so that they
would not appear In profit and loss, and
the account was bolstered up with in
flated credits, consisting ot enhanced val
ues, commissions and anticipated profits-
not money, .but wind. '
The bank's officers chose opportune
times to transfer losses to profit and loss.
At such times they charged the losses to
that account and made a corresponding
credit in the suspense account, in this
way balancing the suspense figures.
Burkhart made heavy overdrafts on the
bank for personal uses, and was credited
with sums drawn from the suspense ac
count jaiOO on December 21. 1904, when
his overdraft was J5269, and 2000 on Feb
ruary 29. 1904, when, his overdraft was
C934. Though these credits were sup
posed to come out of earnings or profits,
they were really depositors' money. De
positors money was used as suspense
money in the bank, on the theory that
the suspense fund would replace it. But
those funds being wind, could hardly
take the place of hard cash.
Two ledger leaves containing these
Burkhart - entries were recently re
moved from the ledger, but when their
loss was discovered, some employe of
the bank, a. friend of Burkhart's, re
placed them, but not in their proper
place. They were found yesterday,
after vain search was made for them
in the same ledger the day before.
Besides drawing on the bank funds
In Ills own name. Rose arew on them
in those of dummies, N. Coy and W.
Mr. Keid, in whose names he made
rake-offs. The bank carried heavy
overdrafts of Reld's and Coy's from
May. 1906. until June. 1907, when they
were credited off, out of profits ac
cruing from sale of Commercial build
ing stock to the bank.
During the legal holidays. 10,000 on
deposit by the Home Security & In
vestment Company, of which 1 State
Treasurer Steel is president, was credr
ited on a note of the I'ortland Fuel
Company, of which Steel is also presi
dent. Investigation shows an increasing
number of persons favored with cred
its during the last days of the bank,
when depositors were barred from en
tering by legal holidays.
That the Title Bank officers who will
be first Indicted are Ross and Burkhart
was the Information gained yesterday.
The indictments will be filed by District
Attorney tanning, tomorrow morning,
charging offenses for whose punishment
the laws prescribe severe penalties. In
dictments of other bank officers and of
State Treasurer Steel will probably be
filed later.
Kvidence gathered from the books' of
the bank convinces Mr. Manning that he
can convict. The evidence is of very
damaging sort, especially as to the con
version of the school money, whose in
vestment and control the laws place in
the hands solely of the State Land Board.
That the use to which the bank's officers
rut the school funds constitutes larceny,
under the statutes, is the opinion of the
District Attorney.
Charged I'niler Xcw Law.
Another charge in the indictments
will be that of receiving deposits of
money when the officers knew the
bank was Insolvent. A law of the last
session of the Legislature makes such
an act a felony. While there is some
question whether the provisions of that
law are yet in effect. Mr. Manning
thinks the section prohibiting officers
of an insolvent bank from receiving
deposits went into operation last May.
Still another charge, probably to be
taken up later will be that of perjury,
against Ross and Burkhart. who in
making application to become a de
pository of state funds, on May 30,
1907, swore falsely as to the finances
of the institution. And one more charge
may be that of making false repSrts
of their bunk.
Sonic Depositors Complain.
Not all the depositors are content,
with the terms of the agreement as
published. Some want Mr. Ladd to
pay interest annually, instead of at
the end of the two and three-year
periods, in order to make t'heir ac
counts negotiable at par. Others want
him to pay interest from the date of
the receivership November 6, as they
say he promised a. depositors' commit
tee to do last . Friday. The agreement
save he shall pay interest- from, the
date the passbooks and other evidences
of deposit are certified by the receiver.
A large number of deposits hare not
yet been certified.
Mr. Ladd and the American Surety
Company are as far from reaching an
agreement, apparently, as at the begin
ning of the present Wait. Bach wants the
other to make concessions and each
thinks himself in a position to let the
other do the treating for terms. Ladd
evidently takes the view that the com
pany can save itself from loss under its
bond to the state only through his guar
antee of payment.
Company Is Confident.
But the company believes itself in a
position to make good the loss without
an agreement with Ladd. first because
expecting the court to hold the 288,000
school money In the nature of a bailment,
which the bank must restore unimpaired,
and to hold the remaining J107.000 state
money as unlawfully received and held
by the bank, because of false representa
tions made to the bank by the state; sec
ond, because the state and the surety
company hold ample timber land collat
eral. This collateral Mr. Ladd desires re
stored to the assets of the bank. Re
ceiver Mears has demanded; its return
and the fight will be taken into the
courts.
ND ORDER IN THE RANKS
WHV VANCOUVER MILITIA WAS
DISBANDED.
Young Officers Unable to Maintain
Discipline Over Privates Who
Learned Tactics as Regulars.
SEATTLE, Wash., Jan. 4. (Special.)
The- inability of the young officers
of the National Guard Company, which
was recently disbanded at Vancouver,
Wash., to maintain discipline over the
former soldiers of the regular army,
who comprised the majority of the
company, is the reason given tonight
by Inspector-General John. M. Klnzie,
of the State National Guard.
According to General Kinzje, the old
regulars ' treated their comparatively
inexperienced officers with ' scant
courtesy, and made more or less fun
of the attempts made to drill them.
In consequence, the Inspector-General
has several times reported the ineffi
ciency of the company, but without
effect, for there was sufficient rural
district members to keep their officers
in commission.
Despairing of making anything ap
proaching a military organization out
of the company, the Inspector-General
finally succeeded in having it disbanded
although such course was b-itterly ob
jected to by the politicians of Clark
County. .
LIKEIiY TO EVADE CAPTlRE
Covington and Burllson Are Xot Ar
rested in Valparaiso.
TACOMA. Wash., Jan. 4. (Special.)
Tacoma shippers have received a cable
gram announcing the arrival in Valpa
raiso, of the ship Henry Failing, on
which it is believed Covington and Burll
son, the alleged murderers of Mrs. Coving
ton, near Seattle, were signed as sailors
under the names of Jack Edwards and
Arthur Hughes. The cablegram gives no
Information other than that the ship
arrived safely, December 31.
Chief Wappenstein, of Seattle, in a
telephone Interview, said he had no
message.
In Tacoma it is said that Chief Wap
penstein wrote his instructions to the
consul at Valparaiso instead of cabling
them, and in that event the men may
escape.

Kept Away From Home.
CENTRALIA, Wash., Jan. 4. (Spe
cial.) Robert -Ramsey, who came re
cently from Seattle, died in this city
this week. From letters found on his
person, it is evident Ramsey was an
escaped convict or that he was wanted
for some crime committed in the East.
A letter from his mother, whose name
is different to the one assumed by the
son, stated that he had better not come
home for at least two years, but that if
he did come not to be known as her
son.

friendly, comment and suggestion from
other members of the Central Commit
tee and Republican voters, so that If it
meets general approval, it will receive .
favorable- action on the part, of the..
Central. Committee as a whole. It is
believed the plan makes for a square
deal among good candidates for of
fice and at the same time provides
greater, responsibilities and denned
duties for central committeemen in
dealing both with candidates and voters.
This has never been the case before
and such matters do not stand clearly

Disbarred, Sells Out Client to

SEATTLE. Wash., JsXi. 4. (Special.)
W. F. Hays, a promibent lawyer of this
city, has filed sensational charges against
the law firm of Piles; Howe & Farrell,
in the Superior Court, in the famous
Sullivan Estate case. Hays avers that
he was the attorney for Marie Carrau,
the French nurse, who was made heir to
John Sullivan's property, worth M.OuO.000.
by the terms of a nuncupative will,
and that she afterwards changed lawyers,
employing Judge J. W. Robinson., Hays
declares that Robinson, who has Just . recently-
been' suspended from practice By
the Supreme Court, sold Miss Carrau' out
to 'the firm headed by United States Sen
ator Piles.
The action of the Supreme Court In
setting aside the decision of Superior
Judge . Boyd Tallman, -who held the nun
cupative will to be valid, Is also assailed
by Hays, who asks the court to order a
division of the estate between himself
and Miss Carrau. The heirs represented
by the Piles law firm have been declared
by the Superior Court to be entitled to
the estate, and-the matter is in the Su
preme Court on appeal. ,
