Moore at Hardin owe tha dafbnot
bank 161,988, represented by an not,
one for 110,000. two for MB0I each, flv
for 16000 each, one far 11X00 and an
for 12766. Thay ewe ether large sums
to other creditors, their affaire being
now In course of adjustment In- the
bankruptcy court. Their total llabll
tlea range from 116,000 te 110,000, and
tha olalma of preference creditors out-
aid of tha bank bar already eaten up
moat of tha firm's aaaata, aald from
two clalma of 111.00) and $16,000 for
mechanics' llena and material. Neither
of theaa claims has been proved and
they are regarded aa eitremely doubt
ful.
How did Moor A Hardin manage to
obtain auoh large credit at tha Commer
cial bank The usual explanation la the
close friendship existing between John
O. Hardin and tha president of the bank.
H. C. Phillips. It waa Phillips who at
tended to the loans and directed the'
parados ef tha bank generally. Kardln
formerly lived. In Ooldendale, Was!t
whera rblUlpa als lived. Boon after
th Phnilpe-Aldrloh Interest bought the
Commarelal bank, Ilardla oam te Tan

Aa XaSerestlna; Story. '
' Hardin soon ' reoelved aeveral large
oontraota. On was th Fbllllpa home,
another th A..drsoa borne,- He did bis
banking at th Phillip bank. The bank
books premise an Interesting: atory In
thla regard aa t what money Hardin
waa drawing: from the bank during the
early portion of Its ownership by Phil
lips. atory that la now .clouded with
rumor and uncertainty. Bom raports
have It that th book wfll ahow heavy
overdraft a. inter owvered by notes, dur
ing th time Ilardla was building tha
Phillips reeldenoe, which la one f the
finest In Vanoowver and la aald to have
cost from $H.0O to 110.000.
Th Phillip resldene waa completed
early in ltOT. This was before
Hardla bad formed a partnership with
Moor. For soma time before th part
nership waa hfld t exist, however. Har
din, and Moor war actln together 'and
appear from th algnature on old
checks to bar used a common check
ing aooount at the Commercial bank.
They began signing checks under the
firm nam about th middle ef June.
10T.
Th bookkeeping methods of Moor
A Hardin were so lam that little can be
learned from their accounts. They kept
a great mass of paper and half bal
anced account, bat theaa are of little
value In ascertaining th standing of tffe
firm. The books iV ahow, however,
that Hardin waa about 1100 "In the
red' when he and Moor hooked up to
gether. Their arrangement aeema to
hava been that the partnership aaeumed
thla debt of Hardin-a, and it has been
ao treated In the bankruptcy proceedings.
Instead f pulling ahead, th partner
ship went forth and further la debt
Other Tamable building oontraota we

usual explanation gtven for the loans.
for th book of Moor A Hardin, al
though Utile could be told from them,
seam never t bar told ef prosperity
or profit
After th partnership was formed on
of th larger oontraota or Moor m
Hardin waa for 'th construction of a
block at Seventh and Washington
streets, now eocupled on th lower floor
aa garage, Th lots war then owned
by Phillips and A. J. Ooek. th latter
tha rtc president ef th Commercial
bank. Moore A ITardln war ta put up
th building and receive a fee for super
intendence, while Phillips and Cook
were to pay th bills. .
tPhlllips and Cook war ahy on cash
to pay for men and ntaterlal. It appears.
and they applied to Judge W. W. Mo
Credle for a loan. They expected to
aeeure a loan In Portland aa soon aa
tha title bad been examined, and Mo
Credle leaned them 110,000 as a tem
porary accommodation. As security he
waa given a deed, whloh, waa to have
th effect of a mortgage, although an
absolute deed In form.
Abstract Turned Down.
Th Portland firm from which th
expected loan wa to ba seoured turned
down the abwtraot, leaving Phillips A
Cook up in tha air. Judge McCredl
held the deed until November 10." when
he was about to start to Washington
to attend the ee anion of congress. To
aeeure himself against tha uncertain
situation he then placed the deed on
record
The appearance ef this deed, exprees-
tng a consideration of only II, 1 days
before the failure of the bank, caused
auapiclon in soma quatern that thla
waa a "cover-up" transaction. But it I
aeema clear that th deal doea sot bear
that character. It -did result la tba
title passing t McCredl, but th deed
la retarded as a mortgage, and It la
thought th property may be redeemed
by Cook,
There Is mneh uneertsJnty, however
aa te th account between Moor A Mar
din and Phllllpa and Cook, Moor A
Ilardln were overdrafUng th bank,
while' th building waa being oon
struetsd, but th bank owned bo Interest
In IC
ui is Brengba,
It ts said tha McCredl loan waa used
to reduo th Moor A nerd to aoeouat
at th bank, but,Mor A Hardin do not
concede that they were properly cred
ited. They claim ' that PhUllpa and
Cook yet owe about 111,000 far labor
and material.
Bult waa brought by Moor A Hardin
for thla aum, and since tha firm want
Into bankruptcy 1L L. Pare!, trustee
in bankruptcy, baa been substituted for
Moore A Hardin as plaintiff. In an
swer to' a demand by th defense, bin
of particulars of this claim hs been
filed, and the defendants hav not yet
answered. If th claim of Moore A
Hardin for a lien on thla property Is
sustained, there would be 111,000 more
available for the benefit of creditors
of ths bankrupts, and the Commercial
bank would get tee larger share.
Another fight Is to be waged In court
over clalma. by Moore A Hardin for
approximately 118,000 alleged to be due
in the construction of a hospital. This
is regarded aa a much more doubtful
claim, difficult to prove and Involved
In cloae points of law. If any money
should bo realised on this, there would
be another slice of unlooked for pie for
the depositors of ths Commercial bank.
Preferred Clalma.
The tangible property of Moer ei
Hardin haa already been largely aten
up by tha claims of preferred creditors
a 'lowed tn the bankruptcy court, ta
Onatng flit exemption for eh ef the
bankrupt. Their brick yard and equip
ment brought about 14700 at auction,
and the cash prodooed by the eale was
nearly xhauatd by ths preferanoe
alalma. There la littl ether prop
erty on hand, but only enough to pay
a few cents on th dollar.
After the fallur ef the Commercial
bank Moore A Ilardln turned over til
their property te the bank, but tha re
ceiver was forood by th courts t turn
this back to th trusts in bankruptcy,
a that full adjuetment could be made
ef the claims of all ereditore.
The Phillips residence property, worth
from 118,000 te ttO.000. has been turned
over t th stal bank examiner, who
bold It aa eecurlty for tha liability
expected to arise on Phillips' bank
stock. It cannot be need for this pur
pose until th other asaet of the de
funct bank are exnaueted. as the liabil
ity does not anee until It ts demon
strated, by the winding up of the bank
that Its asset are abort.
Kay Turn In soma.
Phllllpa la reported to have atated
that he is willing to let go of his resi
dence unconditionally and turn It over
for th Immediate benefit of ereditore If
a buyer can ba found to pay enough to
cancel hla stock liability. That would
be about $11,000. Sale may be difficult
to make, as the property la more ex
pensive as a home thaa moat Vanoouver
ltea oan afford. It la the only prop
erty Phllllpa possesses, ao far a has
been disclosed.
There Is sotns street talk ef claims
by Moore A Hardin against thla prop
art 7 for money alleged to be due for
construction of th resldene. Th time
for filing liens ha long passed, how
ever, and no clalma hava been pre
sented in bankruptcy. There la etUl
