H. HILL Sensational Developments Expected in Hearing on Peti tion for Bemoval in the United States Court Satur dayDid Eoss Ask for Closing of Own Bank? Sensational showings reflecting seri ously upon the methods of the defunct Title Guarantee & Trust company are expected to be sprung by Attorney General Crawford when tho petition for the removal of George H. Hill, present receiver, is argued before i nuea awe Judge Wolverton on Saturday next. It Is said that at that time it will be -!,, That the institution was praeti fallv II not cmte." insolvent at the time of lVa organliation; that the stock has beer. juggled .bout in a K mad ToayofficfaS.rfh?nin9?rtu' tlon wUh little or no security; that men outside the official circle have been lent great .urns without adequate or any se frity. and. last but notWst, that cash ol depoHltors on hand at the time the Institution closed Its doors was used to make good shortages in trust funds". For aome time past District Attorney Manning has been working In conjunc tion with Attorney-General Crawford in gathering evidence, net only the caBe against Iteretver Hill but against the Indicted -officials or the institution aa n - WMia neither the'dietrlct attor ney nor the attorney-general will dis cuss the status of the cases other than to state that an Investigation is being made, yet it is known that when the petition for Hill's removal comes uo for argument in the federal court Saturday the state will be in possesnlon of much evidence which, it is expected, will on the face of it cause the removal of Re ceiver Hill from the helm of the wrecked institution. WUI SMUU OX (AMI I It will be shown at that time, so it I Is believed, that Just prior to or at the time the bank closed its doors there was $7J.000 in cash stored in the vaults. But, according to the reports current. It will also be shown that at that time the trust funds held by the bank on deposit were depleted, although not sup posed to be drawn upon by officials of the Institution, and that It was neces sary, therefore, to make the amounts good. This is said to have been done by the transfer of securities held by the bank, when this course was possible, to the credit -of the trust -funds, and when not possible by the transfer of actual cash. By the time these funds were taken fare of, the books of the Institution showed that but $9,000 in cash remained on deposit. An itemized statement of the llnbill ties and assets of the Institution is also being prepared and will be ready by the time the case comes into court. This statement will show, it is saM, that with the exception of the stock held by V. M. Ladd, and a few scatter ing shares apportioned to the different officials, directors and others, all the stock was held or controlled by J. Thorburn Ross, the president of the corporation. Boas Controlled Coy Stock. The stock of Nathan Coy. the Boston man who asked for the appointment of Hill, is said to be In reality the prop erty of Ross, who therefore, to all practical intents and purposes, peti tioned for the close of his own bank and the appointment of his own selection as receiver. The Reed stock, a large block, is alRO held in fact by Ross, be ing under his control. isv this statement it will also he shown that one note for $30,000 writ ten by one of the bank officials, and practically unsecured, is held by the Dank as an asset and that many other I nores for larger or smaller sums lent to different members of the official family are held as assets and unsecured. Steel's Notes la Bank. It will be shown that George A. Steel. state treasurer, has two notes for $5,000 each listed as assets of the bank, that the Portland Fuel company, which prac tically means George A. Steel, has one note for $5000. one for $3,000 and an overdraft of $4,000. also listed as assets of the bank, and so far as now known without any security. It will also be shown, so the utory runs, that the bank officials led by Pres ident Rosa, were in the habit of charg ing substantial bonuseiiur loafilt'-made. and going back Into the early history of the Institution that at the time the bank was organised it had a capital stock of $250,000. while over It a debt of 1(07,000 was' hung secured by prop erty the title to which was yet in doubt. ."VVlthi all these showings It Is expected by the attorney-general that the state will be able to secure, the dismissal of Hill fromgthe receivership, on the grounds or incompetence, lack of busi ness ability, and too close connection with the officials who conducted the In stitution while in a shaky condition and ut last allowed it to go hard and fast upon the rocks. WORKING TO UNITE CENTRAL A3IERICA is usually sensational and presents dis torted standards of morality in real life, ad that public dancing for amusement is not the best thing for young morals, was set forth by Rev.

THEATRES NOT RIGHT KIND OF AMUSEMENT trs is a degenerate in o average performance, THREE THOUSAND JAPS COME TO VANCOUVER (United Pre Letwd Wire.) Vancouver. B. C, Nov. 21. It tran spired at a sitting of the immigration commission that 3,000 Japanese entered Vancouver alone during the first 10 months of this year. Large numbers at Victoria who came on to Vancouver are not counted. Evidence is that the Canadian Nippon Supply company of fered to Bupply the GranJ Trunk Pacitfe with oriental laborers but the offer was refused. At the head of the Nippon company is Major C. Gardiner Johnson, one of the head officers for years in the Duke; of Connaughfs Own Rifles Canadian regiment here. The plan of supply was to brinar laborers from Japan and after charging the men for getting work to take $1 a month from the wages of each. In addition the company had also to furnish all supplies-required for the men. SUBIU II POUD Senators Fulton and Jtourne, With Aid of Northwest Congressmen.

Gevurts A Worrell, 141 Sixth street, opposit -OregonUo. ; ' Portland can !.iiik-i at panics in tho future if the piaii that is now pro posed by its senators and representa tives in congress is carried out. This Is to have the treasury department es tablish a subtreasury in Portland, thus collecting and conserving all the gov ernment money In th" northwest 'In this city and loaning portions of it to the batiks in time of need. Ac present all receipts in the poot offtees. the revenue offices and custom houses of the great Pacific northwest pass through this city on their way :o San Francisco, which is the nearest subtreasury station. The only other one In the west Is Chicago, which Is farther than San Francisco, The need for a Bubtreasury In this part of the country is well knowjt 4o ail bankers and government officers. The matter of securing- the. treas ury for. Portland has been placed before I'nlted States SenatorstBourne and Ful ton who are now investigating; it and have promised to work for the passage of an act of congress i creating such treasury . lit the next session of congress.- '' - S " . Congressman Ellis and other Oregon and northwest congressmen t will al-to be asked, to Join la the movement and there is no doubt but that all the rep resentatives In Washington from this part of the country at least wilt five the measure their hearty support. At present thousands of dollars Sr daily passing- through the handsof the' government officials In this city whlln thousands more are being shipped to Portland from the postoff loes la the towns and cities of the northwest. But ; all this money has to go out of the , city and be sent to 8a n Francisco, , whence It Is shipped to New York, It Is claimed by those who are anx ious to secure the location of a sub treasury here that with $3,000,800 or more on deposit all the time the tree' ury could lend money to the banks if ' proper security were given, and that with that much actual money on hand all the time there could never be shortage of funds in Portland. If the consent of the treasury ! , partment is galneil by the OWgon sen. ators and the proposed measure pa-s congress it is probable that one of the local banks s-lfl fee-selected as a plane of deposit for the government ni y until such time a the !re.iury di-i it t ment builds Us own bu!l.iinj.
