W. H. MOORE IN NEW LIGHT
v r-A JV
With Cashier Morris, President Is
Said to Hare Been Moving Spirit
In Deals Now TTndcr
Investigation. ,
Not a day passes that further re
ports, evidencing questionable prac
tices' by the officers of the defunct
Oregon Trust & Savings Bank, do not
gain circulation. Without specifying
any particular transaction, the gen
eral charge Is current that the funds
of the dep sitors were exploited in al
most Incredible ventures to the profit
of some of the officers. It Is even al
leged that transaction following trans
action, was negotiated without the
proper authorization of a majority of
the directorate of the suspended in
stitution. In all of these suspicious deals, so
the report goes, W. H. Moore and W.
Cooper Morris, president and cashier,
respectively. - ere the moving spirits.
They are the men apparently who had
to be "seen" before questionable In
roads on the depositors' funds could
be effected by Irresponsible persons.
Deal With Large Accounts.
The real inside facts as to the op
erations of the bank officers and which
resulted in the wrecking of the in
stitution will not be definitely dis
closed until the experts who are now
at work have completed their Investi
gation. And then the alleged misman
agement and misappropriation of bank
funds will be disclosed only in part,
for the accountants will Inquire Into
only some of the larger accounts and
determine the methods that were em
ployed by which It was possible for
those Interests to get so heavily In
debt to the bank without furnishing
reasonable security, which a prelim
inary examination of the affairs of the
hank has shown was not supplied, or,
if furnished, cannot be found.
S. H. Gruber. the attorney who rep
resents depositors having claims ag
gregating IK'0,000. Is taking a few
days' vacation out of the city. Be
fore leaving, however, it Is known that
from the Information touching on the
actual condition of the bank's affairs,
as far as It was possible to learn the
facts from Receiver Pevlln and Pres
ident Reed, of the German-American
Rank, without having the hank's books
examined In detail. Mr. Gruber pre
sented the facts before the District
Attorney's office. He also assured
Messrs. Devlin and Reed that he pro
posed to continue his Investigations,
and. If possible, place the responsibility,
criminally, for the mismanagement of
the institution.
Gruber Tnrns In Statement.
-Mr. Gruber has submitted to the Dis
trict Attorney's office a detailed state
ment alleging improper practices on the
part of the officers of the suspended
bank." said J. J. Fltxgeraia. Deputy Dis
trict Attorney, yesterday. "He also re
quested that the grand Jury Inquire into
the management of that institution prior
to lta suspension. The District Attorney's
office is ready and willing to make such
an Investigation, and will. If the proper
evidence supporting the charges Is pre
sented. "If sufficient evidence is produced to
establish either civil or criminal respon
sibility on the part of the officers of the
bank, thla office will present the facts to
the grand Jury when It convenes, and un
dertake to see that Justice is done. But
before we can proceed, it Is necessary
that tthe proof of the alleged wrongful
acts is furnished us. When these facts
are presented, we will be in a position to
take action."
Another circumstance in connection
with the management of the defunct bank
has leaked out, and because of which the
depositors will demand an explanation.
It is reported to have been discovered
that W. H. Moore, president of the bank,
kept In his private safe about $175,000 of
the. "private securities" of the bank when
they should have been lifted and in
cluded under the head of bills receivable.
Included in these securities are said to
have been about 5.000 of securities on a
Vancouver bank, all trace of which, ap
parently, has disappeared. When an ex
planation was demanded for this manner
of caring for the bank's securities, Moore
is said to have informed E. E. Lytle,
vice-president of the Institution, that- the
Vancouver securities were a "personal
proposition."
Golden Eagle Got $106,000.
In the relations between the bank and
the Golden Eagle, which secured loans
and overdrafts aggregating 1106,000, it Is.
said that, with the exception of the first
note for tfiuOO. the notes were executed
through Moore and Morris, and without
the knowledge of Lytle and Frlede. who
also were members of the loan commit
tee of the bank. Learning of the original
loan of VMM to Gus Lowit, manager of
the Golden Eagle, Frlede la said to have
protested and refused to accept the note
without further security. This waa fur
nished by M. C. Dickinson, of the Ore
gon Hotel. Vho Indorsed the note, which
he was afterwards obliged to pay.
That a registry of outstanding notes
was not kept nor a record made of their
redemption, at least In a great many
cases. - Is one of the facts ascertained
from the preliminary examination of the
bank records, which, it is expected, will
be confirmed In the report of the experts.
" In that event, the officers of the German
American Bank will Insist thatvthe di
rectors of the defunct institution show
what became of notes aggregating about
JiOO.OOi). which appear to be missing. The
officers of the old bank will also be
asked, if the missing notes actually were
paid, to show what became of the funds,
of which no record thus far has been discovered.

statement that he had declared the

It is a Positive Fact That In Not One Out of a Thousand of Supposed Kidney Cases Does the Trouble
Really Lie With the Kidneys.
If there was really as much "Kidney Disease" aa there
is commonly thought to be, there would be a bad condi
tion of affairs Indeed, for once the Kidneys become dis
eased there is really little, If any. chance of a permanent
cure. Practically all the so-called Kidney trouble is In
reality Bladder Trouble. Although sometimes Intensely
painful, and always annoying, It can be easily and
quickly cured If the Blndder Is treated properly and the
Kidneys left alone to do their work as nature intended.
The remarkable effect of GOLD MEDAL HAARLEM
OIL CAPSl'LES In Bladder troubles has been known
for two hundred years.
There are many other troubles, arising In organs
connected-with the Bladder, which are quickly relieved
bv the use of GOLD MEDAL HAARLEM OIL CAP
SL'LES, but extended references to these would be out
of place in a newspaper advertisement. Full informa
tion is given In the printed matter inclosed In each
box of GOLD MEDAL HAARLEM OIL CAPSULES.
The Bladder Is the receptacle for the discharge from
the Kidneys. Under normal conditions nature disposes
of the contents of this reservoir (the Bladder) prompt
ly and without pain. Once inflammation sets In, how
ever, the contents may be retained for an unusual
length of time, thus producing much pain and dis
comfort, or may be expelled with abnormal frequency
and be the cause of much Inconvenience and trouble.
Pains In the back, -lumbago" and all kinds of so
called "Kidney Symptoms" are generally produced by
a disordered Bladder. The most serious of Bladder
diseases is the formation of "Gall Stones" from the
accretion of mineral matter taken Into the system
through drinking water or the solidifying of Uric Acid.
Gold Medal Haarlem Oil (the only genuine) is sold by
most druggists. Capsules, 25c and 50c; bottles, 15c.
