Oakland, Cal.. Nov. I. In a time ot

aa unusual .a Jt waa demoralising to

to the bank en the afternoon of October
IS -at I o'clock and that It was accepted
... and deposited without any warning or
statement as to the bank's condition
being made to him. The next morning
the bank did not open Ha doors for
business and haa never transacted any
.business since that date.
It Is contended by District. Attorney
Manning and his assistants that the
state will be able to prove that the
bank waa Insolvent at the time Khman's
fttepstt was accepted, and that President
Ross and the other directors knew the
fact at that time and prior to that. It
will be shown that the bank haa been
in an unsafe, condition since a short
time eubeequenl t the fallue of the
Oregon Trust and Savings bank, and
that the officials were told some time
ago that fhelr Institution was unsound
and Insolvent. The proof of the deposit
being made by Khman at 3 o'clock on
October 28 will complete the chain of
evidence, which the district attorney be
lieves to be conclusive. Besides the
testimony of Eltmun, a number of other
depositors have come forward with
statements showing that they placed
money In the bank on the same day and
at about the same time.
In the Information It is alleged that
"J. Thorburn Kosa. T. T. Hurkhart,
John E. Altchlson, F. M. Warren and
George H. Hill, being the owners and
- nffliwrs of a certain-bank, to-wlt the

corporation, which bank was doing a

and of the value of $f f 0 from and of
one C. V. Khman, and being the personal
property of him the said C. , F. Khman

there knew that the said bank" was in

The section of the banking act under
which the Information wan drawn is
section 18 of chapter 138, and reads aa
follows:
"Section 18: The owners or officers
of any bank who shall receive any de
posit knowing that Buch bank is in
solvent, shall be deemed guilty of a
felony and punished, upon conviction
therefor, by a fine not exceeding 11,000,
or Imprisonment In the state peniten
tiary not exceeding two years, or by
both such fine and imprisonment, at
the discretion of the court."
It Is presumed the defense will set up
the contention hat the state banking
law is not yet in effect and will not.
be until August of next year. Lawyers
in the city are divided on the question,
some contending that the law went
Into effect, so fur as the section under
which the information was 'brought Is
concerned. May 26 of this year.
The last section of the new law re
peals all statutes In conflict with the
new law and if the contention of the
defense should meet with the favor of
tne courts It would mean that until Au
gust next there is no statute In effect
governmg tho banks of the state. In
other words there wouft be no banking
law In Oregon.
lection. Ambiguous.
The legal tangle comes in section 4
of the law and springs from language
so Involved and ambiguous that either
of two constructions could be placed
upon It. The section provides that
within 12 months after the act goes Into
effect all banks In the state shall make
reports to the bank examiner and It
further provides that at any time after
these reports are filed the banks mak
ing them shall be subject to examination
by the examiner Following this state

same section which says:

The East Side bank, of which H. H.
New hall is president, haa been keeping
ita obligations wonderfully since the
holidays were declared. Until last night
the bank would allow Its depositors to
withdraw any or all of their deposits.
A H. Willets, a grocer at 128 Grand

last evening and received the amount in
gold, a sum that could not be obtained
at any ona time on the west aide since
the holidays were declared.
J4eavy deposits are carried with the
West side banks by the East Side bank,
and inability to obtain cash on those
deposits this morning compelled Mr.
Newhall to limit withdrawals. How
ever, none of the east side banks haa
been compelled to use clearing-house
certificates In payment of their own
checks. i
There is another peculiarity of thia
bank that has caused comment. Tha
Bnst Side bank opens early in the morn

Those who believe that the law la not
in errect as regards penalties for its
violation argue that the laat clause
holds, and that no action can be brought
under the act for 18 months from The
time tne statute would have become ef
fective In the usual course, that Is May
2E. Or 90 days after it was filed with
the secretary of state. They contend
mar. ig months haa been given the
banks to prepare for the observance of
the law, and that until the expiration
of that time they are not bound by its
provisions. . (
Two Different rhaaes.
The state contends, however, that the
seeming ambiguity ia caused because
section S4 covers two different phases
of the law. It is argued . that tha law
went Int4 effect May 25, last, and at
that time began to run upon the statute
books of ,the state. The provisions of
the law grant the banka 12 months In
Institution.
"Relying upon this statement I con
tinued the deposit with his bank, and It
was only recently that I noticed the
magnitude of the sum held there. It la
not true that I added any funda to the
deposit other than those which went
there in regular course of business. The
school fund money was not relished by
many of the banka as a deposit because
of its fluctuations. One day It would
be large and the next It would be cut
down by a loan made against It, and on
tills account It was not of so much
value to banka as some of the other
funds. I kept the school funds In one
account ror tne convenience or the of
fice, and during the recent past the pay
ments into the funds have greatly ex
ceeded the withdrawals, so that a large
balance accumulated there rapidly.
