' erned by the advice of Clarence Par . row, chief counsel for the McNamara . brothers; Mra Ortle E. McManlgal. wife of the alleged dynamiter of the Llew ellyn Iron Works, stands today appar ently allied with the defense. Her at tltude in refusing to testify before the ' Judge is believed here to mean that ahe will not take the stand against her husband when the trial Is called. It ' had been said that Detective Burns ex 1 peetcd Mrs. McManlgal to testify that l ana waar aware or ner nusuana , leged connection with dynamiting out- 5 rages throughout the country. Even the prosecution admits that t the winning over of Mrs. McManlgal J to the aide of the defense waa a master . stroke on the part of Attorney Derrow. t This, they claim, was largely respon J slble for Darrow'a recent trip east. Wla Mate Tbrocgh Wife. I The prosecution today made the charge that counsel for the defense ex- pects, through Mrs. McManlgal'a Influ- ence, to completely win McManlgal I over to their aide. Thla, the prosecu- tlon clalma, would likely lead to . Mc l Manigal repudiating on the stand the confession he is alleged to have made J to letectlve Burns. f As matters stand today, both sides I are fighting tooth and nail to win anil i retain the favor of Mrs. McManlgal. but $ up to date the defense holds the whip hand. 1 Mra. McManlff! will hold dally con ferences with her husband until the J day of the trial. Until her arrival here i McManlgal firmly believed that his wife was arrayed against him. The I warmth of her greeting at the Jail waa 1 m pleasant surprise to the prisoner and the prosecution attorneys admit that ? Mra. McManlgal has a wonderful Influ I ence over her husband. i Writes to Darrow. ? Within 20 minutes after Mrs. Mc- , Manigal . had visited McManlgal yes J terday the prisoner sent a note to Clar J ence Darrow, requesting to see him. I This news, however, reached Detectives f Mills and McLaren of the Bums agency t and before Darrow arrived at the Jail the sleuths are alleged to have suc ceeded In inducing McManlgal to re- sclnd the request i At 9 o'clock this morning Mrs. Mc Aianigai lert ner apartments in an au " tomoblle, and Darrow announced tha't ; he expected to call on the prisoner latef in the day. LAID AT OFFICIALS DOOR (Continued from Page One.) be brought tome by Indictment under tnis law? The directors of the bank for some i time before It closed were H. C. Phillips, president: Gilbert W. Daniels, cashier; and forme.- Judge A. U Miller, attorney for the hank. It Is not likely that the grand Jury wnuH go further than this list, for the other Ftoekholders and em ployes would almost certainly be outside the probability of knowledge of Its af fairs. Director May Be Excnsed. It is gem-rally believed Judge Miller will not be shown to have had enough knowledge of the bank s affairs to make him responsible. He 1 a busy man and has given little attention to the bank's condition. It is said. The law does not, apparently, make it the duty of a director to keep Informed as to the loans made by the officers or the securities a bank holds. Persons familiar with the conduct of the bank, particularly for the last year or two, say President Phillips was in practically complete control, it was he who attended to the making of loans and listing of securities. Cafhler Dan- icin is earn to nave passed up all re. quests for loans to Phillips. At the same time, incidents are re lated which are regarded by many as tending to show that rnnirls, as well aa Phillips, was In position cn know and did know how the hank stood. In his dally work he could hardly avoid knowing the condition of the hank's as sets, it Is contended. Paid Extraordinary Interest. More than a year before the bank was closed Mrs. J. D. Mayer, one of the heaviest depositors. Intended to with draw her account. She was receiving 4 per cent Interest in a savings ac count, but saw an opportunity to place the money where 8 per cent would be realized. She says that when she went to draw the money Daniels, after ex pressing regret that she intended to quit banking there, questioned her as to her reasons, and when he learned that she expected S per cent from an Investment, asked her If she would keep the money on deposit If the bank would pay her 8 per cent Mrs. Mayer says this did not create any acrlous distrust In her mind as to the condition of the bank, as Daniels suggested that President Phillips might be able to make an arrangement to make up the Increased Interest. Dan iels consulted Phillips, she says, and reported that the bank would pay her ft per cent. She left her money in the bank and was credited with S per cent Interest from that date until the bank closed. At the wind-up ihe had about $11,000 on deposit, she says. Officials Must Hare Knows. The exceptional Interest paid Mra. Mayer may become one of tJie factors In showing knowledge by the hank of ficials of its condition. While other depositors were being paid 4 per cent in the savings department, she was paid 8 to hold her account. The bank must have had great need for this money or this interest would not have been paid. It Is contended. Mrs. Mayer further says that In an Interview with Daniels after the bank closed. In which she told him she kept her money there because she trusted him, she asked him why he did not re sign from the bank when it was In such bad shape. She says Daniels responded that people cannot always do as they like to do. Daniels la Delicate position. Friends of Daniels explain that ho was In a delicate position. Had he quit the bank a crisis might have been caused In quick order. At the same time, as long as he remained, many people con tinued as patrons of the bank who would have discontinued doing business there had he been absent from his ac customed place behind the counter. Considerable sympathy for Daniels is expressed hy those who hold Phillips responsible for the bank's Increasing difficulties and final fall. The Rowley note transaction In the summer of 1907 Is another affair held to show that the bank was In close quarters at that time. Rowley, a for mer owner of the bank and a man of large Interests, gave notes for $35,000 to aid Phillips in improving the sppar ent assets of the bank. According to Rowley, the suggestion for placing these notes with the bank came from Phillips, and the arrangement was made entirely through him. Phillips Chief Paotor. It Is around Phillips, therefore, that the chief interest renters. It is declared he might find it difficult to convince a Jury that he was ignorant of the bank's condition. In view of such Incidents as the Mayer account, the Rowley notes, the manner In which statements and reports are said to have been delayed from time to time, the business of sub stantial men that was lost, the aston- shlng loans made to Frank Aldrlch, Moore Ac Harden, and three other firms by his direction, and many other little neldents that some of the people of Vancouver know about. As to the receipt of deposits up to the time the bank failed, there will be no dispute. The books of the bank show numerous deposits on December 19, the day the dors closed, never to reopen. As that was Saturday, the banking day losed at noon, nut several deposits are said to have been received after that hour. Would Have Taken Money. B. M. Rowley, who Is engaged In the real estate business, was the agent for Gus Hager of the Hager theatre, and was at that time closing a deal for the sale of land for 3000. He had $3000 in hiH Fafe and had been instructed by Hager to deposit the coin with the Com mercial bank as soon as the deal was closed. The deal was not concluded In time to make the deposit on Saturday, so the bank did not get the money, but Hager told friends of his that CaBhler Daniels had arranged to receive the money at any time Satusday after bank lng hours. Officials Be em Cheerful. On the other hand, the groundwork of defense in case of prosecution has been marked out by the cheeriness with which President Phillips faced the situation when the bank closed and as sured different depositors that Its af fairs were all right. For Instance, he canea in Mrs. Mayer and told her she could go home and sleep soundly, as the oanK would pay dollar for dollar. State Bank Examiner Mohundro prob- Boclological Conference.

Frank Aldrlch Is quoted as saying that his notes should be made to realise In full from the securities he has turned over.

It Is clear that in the event of prosecution for receiving deposits when the bank waa Insolvent or when its officers had reason to believe It was unssfe. the accused officials will de clare that they believed it was safe and could not reasonably be expected to dis trust Its ability to make good to the depositors.

SENATOR'S RESOLUTION SENSATIONAL DEMAND UPON PRESIDENT TAFT (United PfM Leu4 Wlro.) Washington. June 27- Demanding that President Taft Immediately pro duce all records of the alleged attempt by the Morgan-Ouggenhelm forces to monopolise Alaskan coal by grabbing the frontage of Controller bay, Senator Polndexter of Washington today Intro duced a aensatlonal resolution In the senate. Polndexter desires all records bear lng on a filing on Controller bay by James J. Ryan and others connected with the Controller Bay Railroad A Navigation compsny. He Is convinced that if the grab goes through the Oug- genhelms will control the only feasible outlet for Alaskan coal, and thus dom lnatlng all the railroads, they will be aba to clinch their hold on Alaska as well as though the Cunningham claims had not been denied. Methods Are Many. "It seems evident," Polndexter said, "that the Interests which are seeking 10 monopolize the natural resources of Alaska are not dependent upon one method. The control of transportation and access to the coal fields is equiv alent to control of the coal Itself. "Controller Bay harbor is the only available deep water which is easy of access for the development of the coal. Realizing this, the administra tion on February 26, 1909, withdrew from entry that portion of the shore line essential for use as a harbor. On October 28, 1910, without notice, this shore line was restored to entry , by the president's order. Immediately there after, before the public was advised of the change, Ryan and others connected with the railroads applied to enter cer tain portions of the shore, which, with the incidental rights, gives a complete monopoly of the bay's use." Law Is Violated. Progressives in the senate assert that the law. providing that not more than 320 acres of such land shall be held in common ownership has been violated by the entrymen, such violation having been countenanced by the department of the interior. Polndexter's resolution demands in formation on the whole Controller Bay grab, not only from the president, but also from the departments of the In terlor, of agrioulture and of war. - . , T. fc r- - -u ' --e-- -jy 7" II, ' 1 1 , , -i-.r ....1: ,;R ,' : . . :,:, ', i 1 IE Ik ' : '' ' V 1 "; t ; J ',' ' 'i ' : j . 1 ' ' 1 '" ' ' j ' ' ' '' '' ' ''"' ' 1 jjj j Ml' HimiiiMM'MMWwiiiyiyEij !"''jLlI 6 a firs which broke out la the boa fac tory of the Orays Harbor Commercial company's plant at Cosmopolis Bun day, damage to the extent of between tls.OOO and I4M00 was dons.

Before the motion was put Mayor Simon said he wished to make' a few remarks. "I have discussed the situation with the board 'and have heard the reports of Superintendent Napier and Dr. Wheeler and have given ear to the rep resentations of the contractor," ob served the mayor, "and I have drafted a resolution, which 1 think will incor porate the opinions of the board."
