SKETCHES OF FAMOUS LORD KELVIN
I0IIEIIG
After American Surety Com-
' pany Made Good First Los3
State Treasurer Went to
Shaky Institution With
Funds.
V
One of the remarkable, disclosures
resulting from the investigation of
the books of the 'Title Guarantee &
Trust company bank is the fact that
when the American Surety company
paid orer the sum of $34,009.25 to
reimburse. the state for losses In the
Oregon Trust & Savings bank. State
Treasurer Steel promptly plunked
the money into the coffers of the
Title Guarantee, which was even
then undergoing a run from its de
positors.
As rsult. th American Surety com
pany was finally called on to make
good a second time the loss sustained
by the state In the failure of tbe Ore-
t on Trust A Savings bank. This It did,
through the arrangement effected a few
. weeks ago with Governor Chamberlain.
The surety . company paid to - State
Treasurer Steel the sum , of ,124,009.25
on September 21, The books of the
Title (guarantee show that on the same
day Steel . deposited the check In the
Ross bank. , The deposit, was undobut-
edly most welcome for the Title Guar
antee officials have stated repeatedly
that at that time their bank was under
going the heavy drain which finally
forced the disclosure ol Its insolvent
condition.
The action of the state treasurer In
this transaction Is the more remarkable
because of the object lesson which he
had had so recently In the failure of
. Steel's rrlesds&lps.
Steel's relations with the officials of
the Title Guarantee bank were very
close. They were reaching out in every
direction to gather in every dollar of
cash on which they could lay their
hands. Steel had already made enor
mous deposits of state funds in their
bank and though It was a matter of
common gossip that after the Oregon
Trust failure the Title Guarantee was
being subjected to a heavy drain by de
positors. Steel came again to the rescue
with the money, paid; to him by the
Surety company.
The accounts of George Steel, state
treasurer, with, the Title Guarantee bank
present many peculiar features which
will require explanation. One of them
Is the fact that for several months an
extraordinarily large proportion of the
state funds was carried In the so-called
, "active account," thus placing the
' money at the disposal of the bank for
loaning purposes. - - Transfers were
'made from time to tlm. to. the. "educa
tional fund."
' ! Could Hot Be Loaned.
This under the loan could not be
loaned oy tne oanic, out these tram
fers were never for the full amount
or tne active rund balance. ' For ex
amDle. the active fund showed a hal
ance at the close of the month of May.
1907, of $295,320. Afew days later the
active iuna Daiance was reduced to
141,244, but by July 2 It had risen again
to $173,426.40. On October 80, the day
arter tne Beginning or tne noiiaay -period
declared by the governor, the bal
ance in the active fund was 147,483.81
There are many indications that on
many of the loans made by the Title
Guarantee bank, heavy rake-offs , were
received py individuals connected with
tne Dante; it is now an important cues
tton whether state funds were used
in matting tneee -loans and the iden
tity of -the persons who profited by
the rake-offs will probably oe the sub
ject or. searching inquiry. . -
