Governor Jaines M. Cox is coins

of the Republican, vote of Ohio on

Evans, railroad man, who has re
cently returned from an extended
visit in Ohio, hl former home. Evan
I u a visitor at Democratic head
quarters this morning and told of
his Impressions sained by several
r weeks spent In Ohld. visiting old
f friends and school day acquaintances
and talking a good deal of politics
on the side.
-'Ohloana stick pretty - close together,"
(Evans said, "and back there you 'do not
hear the people' saying unkind things
about either Co or Hardin. 'The peo
v pie are proud of both of them as citi
' sens of the state, but t gained thadefln
J its Impression from what I heard that

rally la behind OOTernor Cox In bis

tot his living than is Harding. He has

his record shows It- There Is a current
feeling in Ohio where people know both
? snen and have watched them work both
i In private and In public lira that Sen-
ator Harding's sympathies have always
I leaned more towards the corporate ln
l teresta of the state and country than
t towards employes of corporations. Gov
' ernor Cox on the other hand has Always
' stood for Interests of the rank and file
: 5 of the men and women who have had
f to work for the corporations and there Is
Dot much doubt In my mind that he will
J be given united support of his party vote
( together with the vote of at least a third
of the Republicans of the state who ad-
i mire his record as governor as well as

Clttsen upon general issues or tne aay.
' Evans also contends that the rail
road men as a general rule will cast
their votes for Cox because of the same
popular feeling among them that Cox
Is more the friend of the wage earner
I than Is Harding.

1 ' Medrord, Sept 31 The Jacksonville

linaiM u can oniv pay out za cents
on the dollar, according to the long de
layed report of Will H. Bennett, state
bank examiner, which was filed Thurs
day with. the circuit. court. ,
Thir report shows assets of but $217.
127.1 and liabilities of $319,000. The
report also says that William H. John-
r son, president of the bank, who has been
In the county jail under $50,000 bond
r since the collapse of the bank, awaiting
trial on the charge of perjury In con
f flection with his wrecking of the bank,
(1 kept two sots of book and falsified his
sworn statement of the bank's condition

'; '' "I doubt If It wfll ever be known
where all the money la gone," said
i Bennett "The chaotic condition of the
i bank's affairs defies description. Presi-
dent Johnson enjoyed the highest repu
t tatlon and the most complete confidence
' of its patrons. Because he kept one set
, ef books for Its patrons and another
t for himself, with no record at all of
many transactions, it Is physically 1m
r possible to determine the exact condl
tlon of affairs. The extent of the lia
bilities Is orily esUmated, but after the
t most thorough - Investigation possible I
i think the bank will be able to liquidate
about 15 per cent"
y Superintendent Bennett has appointed
E. D. Kahler of Central Point aa special
v deputy to have charge of the bank
from now on.
to the legality of her action In "favoring
the now defunct institution with' the de
posit of s large 'portion of "the county's
funds.-
Roberts said he Is - working on a
theory by which be hoped to save to the
county Its enure deposit with the defunct
bank. This theory. Roberta explained.
Involves the claim of all county funds on
deposit In the bank la excess of the
legal allowance as trust fund. Buch
a fund, be said, would have preference
over all other claims In the payment of
depositors and It la believed that the
sssets of the bank will be about suf
ficient to cover the county's deposit.
WA3TT LAWg TIOLATED.
William Johnson.' president of the
Jacksonville bank, according to Roberta,
has apparently volated about every law
enacted to safeguard the public in its
dealings with state banks, and faces
prosecution on numerous counts of lar
ceny, forgery. . embesslemeat and other
crimes, the aggregate sentence of which
would Insure his incarceration to the
state prison for many times more than
a natural lifetime
Speaking of the shaky condition in
which the bank Is said to-have been for
some time previous to Itafinai closing
by Will H. Bennett, state superintendent
of banks, Jtoberts vailed attention to an
overdraft of eomo $4t,0oo on one deposit
or's account, which bad been running
with the bank for between two and three
years. . -
BENNETT BLAMES DOUBLE
BOOKS KEPT BY BANK HEAD
Medford, Or; BepfcJM In. speaking of
the wrecking of the. Jacksonvflle bank
by President .William H. Johnson and
his report filed in circuit court Thursday,
made on the present condition of the
bank. Will H;-Bennett, superintendent
of the state banking department said :
"There was- no way. for any bank ex
aminer to have known the true condi
tion of the bank,, as long aa there was
no suspicion of ' the honesty of the
banker, and the Tooks as presented
showed no discrepancies. The report
Indicates that r Johnson made a dally
statement of the bank's condition, which
balanced properly -on fta face,, and then
in a slipshod manner kept a record of
the actual condition of affairs as he saw
them. Hie own records were so garbled
and mixed up that no one else can
fathom them and, until Johnson himself
explains. If he ever does. It cannot be
learned where the money baa gone."
BOND RECORDS" MUDDLED
The report does not clear up the con
dition of the Jackson county funds on
deposit in the bank beyond -what is al
ready known, that there was $107,000
on deposit If Bennett's estimate that
the bank will pay but 25 cents on the
dollar is correct this means that the
county will lose $80,250.
The Liberty bond record of the bank
is a hopeless muddle. It has been found
that the Liberty bonds of George Flck,
reported sold by the Ladd ft Tllton bank
of Portland, were so sold and the amount
credited to Pick's checking account in
dicating a legitimate transaction. How
ever, apparently a number of patrons
of the bank who. purchased liberty
bonds 'and left them at "the 'bank had
nothing but the solicitor's receipts to
show for their investment Liberty
bonds worth $$009 were-found depos
ited, sa collateral for a personal note
of Johnson.
kotxs aroT reported
Johnson kept bo record at all of Lib
erty bonds sent to San Francisco banks
to bo converted. "7 Superintendent Ben
nett's report shows that only a portion
of the bank's note .were reported, and
cites the ' fact that $60,000 worth of
notes were found stowed away la a
drawer.
The examiner, after the, wreck of the
bank, found $73,000 In overdrafts, al
though no overdrafts were reported by
Johnson as far as can be learneoV The
report also shows that many oPtbe bank
patrons, trusting Johnson Implicitly,
were equally unbusinesslike and never
asked for aa accounting.
Bennett will be an Important witness
before the grand Jury, which meets In
October to .consider all the phases, of
the bank wrecking, and also at the trial
of President Johnson. Sensational de
velopments are -expected to emanate
from the- grand jury.

Save Lark N. Evans
From Penitentiary
Salem, Sept 24. Gus Newbury,
Grants Pass attorney, was before ' the
supreme court here, Thursday afternoon,
making a fight for the release of Lark
N. Evens, la the Jacksoa county Jail In
default o bond, with a one to 15-year
penitentiary sentence hanging over his
head on a charge of assaulting and rob
bing William a. White, a Jitney driver.
Evans Jias appealed to the supreme
court basing bis appeal on an alibi,
which hs claims to be able to produce to
prove his presence in a Grants Pass ga
rage on the day of the robbery. O. M.
Roberts, district attorney for Jackson
county, contested Evans' appeal.
