STRONG CASE AGAINST
RECEIVER G. 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.

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.

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
