THE SUNDAY OREGONIATf, PORTLAND, NOVEMBER 14, 1920 STATE BANK BUREAU IS HELD BLAMELESS Failure of Jacksonville Con cern Explained. GRAND JURY PROBE MADE Responsibility for Disaster Laid to President of Institution and everal Other Persons. - SALEM, Or.. Nov. 13. (Special.) The state banking department, of which Will H. Bennett is superinten dent, has been exonerated by the grand jury of Jackson county from any blame In connection with the failure of the Bank of Jacksonville, according to a letter received here today from O. M. Roberts, district at torney, with headquarters at Medford. The Bank of Jacksonville closed Its doors about three months ago and soon thereafter the state banking de partment was called upon to investi gate the failure. This inquiry, which extended over a period of several weeks, revealed numerous irregulari ties in the accounts of the institution, and Cr. M. Johnson, its president, later was arrested on a charge of falsifying the- records. Unable to furnish bail In the sum of 150,000, Mr. Johnson was committed to jail. The investigation on the part of the state banking department- was fol lowed by a probe by the grand jury of Jackson county, with the result that Mr. Johnson, together with the county treasurer and several other persons who had dealings with the defunct institution were Indicted. They were arraigned recently before Judge Calk ins in the Jackson county circuit court. end were held under bail to appear for trial at the next session of z the court. County May Lone Much. The investigation by the' state banking department showed that Jackson county had a large sum of money in the depository, the major part of which probably will be. lost to the taxpayers. A number of over drafts also were discovered in the bank, and as yet the officials have been unable to establish the identity of the owners of many liberty bonds placed in the Institution for 'safe keeping. Following the failure of the depos itory and repeated insinuations that the state banking department had been lax in its investigation of the institution. Governor OlcotO chair man of the state banking board, wrote a letter to Mr. Bennett, the superin tendent, in which he asked for a statement setting out what the state banking officials had done in con nection with previous examinations of the accounts of the bank. Governor Olcot and other members of the state banking board declared that it was their duty to start an official inquiry to determine whether any blame for th- failure attached to their depart ment. Censure Held ITnwarranted. As a result of the grand Jury re port exonerating the state banking board from blame in connection with the failure of the bank, it is not be lieved here that the state banking board would be warranted in censur ing Mr. Bennett and his subordinates who made frequent examinations of the institution. Mr. Bennett's report .was filed with Governor Olcott some time ago, but as yet no formal meet ing of the state banking board has been called. In a statement made today Mr. Bennett said the defunct Bank of Jacksonville had been examined fre quently 't common with other similar institutions of the state, but because Mr. Johnson had falsified in the rr ords it bad been impossible X-r the Investigators to determine the exact status of the depository. Mr. Bennett declared he had been unable to give out any information regarding the bank previously for the reason that Its affairs were under grand jury Investigation.

Schetky, a naval vet eran, who is 94 years old and one of the oldest Masons of Oregon, gave a brief talk. Captain Schetky re lated an incident 'of civil war days when he was sent, second In com mand of a gunboat, to the lower Mississippi. He recalled that some pilfering had been going on among the men, - and as a result . he was ordered to make an Inspection. In going through the sailors' effects he was attracted by a Bible on which had been inscribed the Masonic em blem. He endeavored to determine who were ' Masons among the men. but received no response. Before the inspection was over he had discov ered numerous Masonic symbols and emblems. . On an inquiry from a petty officer he' learned that the men had raided a lodge hall at Point Pleasant, La., while on shore, and had brought away- the emblems as trophies of their raid. Captain Schetky ordered the lodge property brought to him, and through a letter and the appoint ment of a rendezvous it was restored to the Point Pleasant lodge. "In the course of time it fell to me to visit the Point Pleasant miller," said Captain Schetky, "to purchase supplies for the officers' mess. I noticed that he seemed ill at ease. Later the Methodist minister called at the mill and revealed himself as master of the Masonic lodge.- He, too, seemed ill at ease. A few days later I called at another river point and visiting the drug store for a rhat was . .asked if I knew . Buck Greer. He was a notorious guerrilla of that region. I confessed to nav ing heard of him. I was asked if I had seen him on my Visit to Point Pleasant. When I replied that I hadn't I was informed that he and some 30 followers had been hidden in the bushes. My informant told me that the guerrilla had been put to it to prevent his men from shoot ing me. But he said that Greer was a Mason and that he understood that I had done something for the Masons and thus had saved my life." Dr. W. J. Kerr, president of the Ore gon Agricultural college and grand master of the Oregon Masonic grand lodge, delivered an Impressive lec ture. - Phone your want ads to The Orego nian.

TACOMA, : Wash.; Nov. . (Spe cla.1.) Many appointments - will be made by Governor Hart in the near future. The governor has allowed the old regime of the late Governor Lis ter, whom be succeeded, to hold of fice, but with his election he ' will fnake several openings. Jesse Jones, .Tacoma business man and partner of Governor Hart, will replace Frank Spinning as a member of the public service commission,-it is said. Mr, Jones once had an offer of the position, but turned It down. He is thought to have done so because he wanted tu see Governor Lister's appointees hold, office until the new term. The state printer, Frank Lamborn, will unquestionably be replaced. As nobody has been mentioned as yet for a successor, efforts are being made to hold the appointment in Tacoma. There are several hundred small ap pointments that come within the gift of the governor, - but It is expected that he probably will wait until Janu ary for the majority of them. Anson Hart, the governor's son, who formerly - was identified with the' printing trade, has - been mentioned as Lamborn's successor, as has T. V. Copeland, Tacoma printer, who went on the stump for Governor Hart, appealing to labor 'unionists to support him against Bb. Bridges, who had the indorsement of the state federation of labor..
