fore Commercial Depositors
Are Considered, Is Court De
cision in State Bank Case.
. Salem, Or., July 29. As the result
of an opinion handed ffn by the
Oregon supreme court today, savings
depositors in the defunct, State Bank
of Portland' are to be paid in full,
while the amount to bfl; received by
commercial depositors will depend on
adjustments to be made later.
In thh-case In which C. R. TJpham,
Mary Steelhammer,and Grace A. Dox
eie are appellants and Frank C Bram
well. state superintendent of banks.
is defendant, the degrees of Judge Rob
ert Tucker of the Multnomah circuit
court, are affirmed. The opinion was
written by Justice McCourt. v
- Approximately 12,500 depositors were
involved in the case.
"Savings assets shall 6e applied ex
clusively to the satisfaction of savings
depositors, and until , their claims are
paid in full savings depositors shall
share ratably with commercial depos-
; itors in the distribution of all other as-
; sets and resources of the bank," the
opinion points out.
$180,900 12? ASSETS '
Assets of the insolvent bank show
approximately $400,000 in both the
commercial and savings departments.
The statute. Justice McCourt con-
. tends, evinces a purpose to furnish
greater security to savings depositors
than to other depositors, and to favor
savings depositors over commercial
" depositors in the event of insolvency.
"The construction contended for by
defendant," Justice McCourt points
ut. "would require the savings de
positors to look to the assets of the
savings department for the satisfac
tion of their claims, subordinating them
to the commercial depositors, as to the
remaining assets and resources of the
bank. Thereby the commercial de
positors In many, If not most, cases
would realize a larger percentage of
' their several, claims " than would the
savings depositors, thus defeating ,the
manifest: design of the law. to favor
paving's depositors arid safeguard their
deposits.'-- -" -. " -

ders, while Deaton dropped down into
the bottom of the car1. The machine

East Side
Land Deal
Near Close
Interest of east side business men
and property owners continues to cen
ter upon speculation as to the prob
able use - of various parcels . of real
estate along the west side of East
First street between Burnside and
Hawthorne avenue, -for which options
of purchase have been secured during
the past month by Claude D. Starr.
August 1 is the final date set for ex
ercising the options, and it is under
stood by owners of the property that
Starr would close the transaction for
his principals Monday afternoon.
The property held under option by
Starr parallels the tracks of the South
ern Pacific company, and It is pre
sumed by many interested business
men in the neighborhood that the land
is being acquired by the company for
the purpose of elevating its grade
through the industrial section.
Starr and Ben C. Dey. attorney for
the Southern Pacific company, con
tinued their refusal to make any -comment
on the .transaction Saturday
morning.-
Possibility, of competition In secur
ing a continuous strip of ground be
tween Burnside street and Hawthorne
avenue on the west side of First street
fby Starr and his associates was indi
cated last week when a deed to the
quarter block at the southwest corner
of East First and Morrison was trans
ferred from John S. Beall to the Title
& Trust company. Record of the
transfer shows a consideration of $10,
but Beall stated that the actual value
of the property was approximately
$30,000,
Officials of the Title & Trust com
pany refused to discuss the purchase
Of the Beall property and it Is not
known whether the company is acting
as an agent or has taken over the land
as an is vestment. Starr was absent
from the city a portion of the week,
and before leaving he stated that ne
gotiations for the transfer of 24 par
cels on which options have been taken
would be closed Monday. Aggregate
value of the property involved is in
excess of $750,000.
RUNAWAY STREET
Instead of stopping where the rails
stop at: the end of East 21st street
south, streetcar Ko. 482, Brooklyn line,
with J.' H. Leonard as motorfoan-kep
right on going at :05 last night,
climbed the curbing and smashed into
the front .of the house at No. 716 Bush
street occupied byMr. and Mrsj S. W.
Fryer. ' - - "
Mrs. Fryer was trimming flowers on
the lawn in the gloaming. She looked
up, startled to see the big car lumber
off the street and, ram its nose Into
the front of her house.
Patrolman S. C. WOrrel, who was
standing across the street, is said to
have "dashed after the streetcar shout
ing "Whoa whoa!" The house buck
led and danced from the impact, ac
cording to his account given later.
BRAKES FAIL 7
Worrel and Mrs. Fryer both saw the
motorman working violently , at his
brakes, but he .couldn't make them
catch. 1 The car was moving slowly,
however. If it had been speeding it
would have t rammed through the
house.
As it was. the front' was badly caved
in, but little damage was done inside.
The front trolley pole, hooked down,
rammed through the front bedroom
window and projected into the middle
of' the room. ; Glass was shattered
everywhere. The sewing machine,
which stood against the front wall in
the bedroom, did a hop, skip and Jump
across the room, then flopped over on
Its head, dropping everything out of its
drawers. Tables, piano, chairs and
desks, as though stirred from a long
lethargy; all moved around the rooms
and then settled back to sleep again.
PEOPLE CURIOUS
A little knot of people, perhaps!
nair a inousana, jammea in rroni
of the house within a few min
utes after the accident, and Mrs.
Frj-er locked the door after she had
been "run ragged" for .a few minutes
trying to entertain them. Nothing sbut
the police star would do for a counter
sign after that.
Bush street turns off from 21 si
street at this ponit, and the latter
comes to an end. The Fryer home
is directly In front of the end of
the Brooklyn street oarllne. Several
years ago a car ran off the track, but
stopped before it reached the house,
contenting itself with tearing up the
lawn and hedge.

GRAND JURY
TO HEAR TALE
OF BOOTBLACK
Arthur Burr, Negro, Victim
of Night Riders' "Necktie"
Party, Returns to Medford to
Give His Version of Affair.
By Ralph Watson
Journal Staff Correspondent.
Medford. July 29. In the cold gray
light of the early morning, just as the
sun began to rub its sleepy eyes to
peer above the shoulder of Roxy Ann
lri the somnolent valley, the Oregon ex
press thundered across "the clattering
switches and came to a grinding stop
at the station. A idrowsy traveling
man or two clambered stiffly down,
and one or two climbed as stiffly up.
The 'awaiting deputy Bheriff looked
vainly up and down the long line of
coaches and sighed.
"I guess," he said sorrowfully, "I've
got to go after that fellow after all,",
. And then, up at the front end of the
smoker, an ebony face thrust itself
out tentatively, looked first to the right
and then to the left, then scrambled
down to the platform gingerly.
"That's him," the deputy said thank
fully. "1 don't have to go,"
"Good morning," he continued, ad
dressing the big fellow who came up
the platform.
"WHO'S YOU!" HE ASKS
"Who's you?" the big fellow asked
suspiciously.
"I'm a deputy sheriff, come to meet
you," the deputy told him.
White teeth flashed out and a ham-
like ebony hand came forward to grips.
"Boss," he said, "I shuah am glad
to meet you."
It was the homecoming of Arthur
Burr.
Burr left the foothills south of Med
ford one dark night in March, running
towards the California line. A hemp
rope dangled behind him, Swinging
across the sturdy limb of a black oak.
At the end of it a noose was coiled,
one that had Just been about the ne
gro's neck. Behind his scrambling feet
revolver" bullets thumped into the
ground. His. ears, still drumming - with
the congestedcurrents dammed .u"p -by
the strangling cord, heard the admoni
tion f the hooded might ride:, behind L
Him Li, so aKay lturi siere anu accv
going." and Burr kept on going, clear
to Modesto, before he halted Ate Jour
ney. This morning; he came-back un
der the more or lea Insistent coaxing
of Tom Word, special agent of the de
partment of Justice, to tell the story
of that March night to the grand jury
now in session here. He didn't want
to come. He admitted it this morning
when the deputy sheriff suggested
that he had been expected on last
night's train. "Boss," Burr assured
him, "I was too plumb scalrt to come
to this heah town in the dark."
LOSES HIS SERVE
Burr started from Modesto Thursday
night. When he got as far as Weed
his nerve failed him and he got off
the train, took refuge with a friend
there and finally relieved the anxiety
of the officers by letting them know
of his whereabouts. He was ready. to
come to Medford. he said, bvit he want
ed to be sure his protection was at
hand before he hit his old home town.
Burr will be the last witness of
major importance to be called before
the grand jury when It reconvenes
Monday. He is expected to tell the
story of how he was picked up by
two men at the door of the Jackson
ville Jail, from which he had Just been
released after serving a sentence for
bootlegging, of how he was taken into
the hills, by these me"n, of how they
were met by a hooded band of 30 or so,
of how he was charged with bootleg
ging and other things, strung.up by
the neck three times, revolver shots
fired at his feet, and finally how he
was directed to start south and keep
running, never to return.
Burr's testimony, with the tag ends
left here and there yet to be put be
fore the Jury, will conclude' the inves
tigation that has been the center. of
interest here all during the week just
closed. It is expected that the jury
will be able to report by Monday eve
ning or Tuesday at the latest.

The Dalles, July 29. -Seaside was
this morning selected as next year's
meeting place for the Oregon state con

vote being unanimous after th dele
gates had listened to a spirited talk by
M. F. Hardesty, president of the Sea

a flying trip to The Dalles to urge his
city upon the Legion. The dates set
were September 6, 7 and 8.
Selection of the meeting place this
morning instead of this afternoon as

of delays in reports of committees that
were to have been ready to read to the
convention.

Election of officers for the ensuing
year is the main order of business this
afternoon. Caucuses were held during
all hours of the night, lining up dele
gates for the- various candidates, and
the outcome of the "night sessions" is
veiled in secrecy. The morning ses
sion, starting at 9 o'clock, found the
delegates busily engaged in preparing
themselves for reports of five com
mittees. Following the morning session Com
mander Goodell declared a recess until
2 :30 o'clock and promptly at 12 :30
o'clock the annual parade was held
through the downtown streets. Quite
a number of beautiful floats decorated
by The Dalles Business Men's club and
civic associations, made the parade
even more interesting. Virtually every
visitor at the convention was in the
American Legion section.

HARDING'S PEACE
Washington, July 29. (U. P.) The
threat of industrial demoralization Is
over, administration leaders stated to
day as President Harding reduced to
writing his compromise plan for -a set
tlement of the railroad strike and the
presidential coal committee started its
work of rationing .coal. ;
The White House is confident of a
settlement of the railroad strike some
time next week.
While the coal strike- is regarded as
"still in the woods," administration .of
ficials are confident of averting a
disastrous fuel famine even if the
strike should continue for some time.
Harding is sure that the public de
mand for fuel will have ample response.
"We shall have coal," it was con
fidently and emphatically stated at
the1 White House.
FORWARDS FLA "
President Harding forwarded his
"compromise suggestions," which he
believes will end the rail strike, to
leaders of 'the opposing parties today.
The compromise proposal, arranged
by Harding in conference with labor
and rail forces, was sent lri letter, form
to B. M. Jewell, head of the : shop
crafts department of the American
Federation of Labor, and T. DeWltt
Cuyler, head of the Association of Rail

Contents of the letters, which was
not revealed at the White House, may
be given out later by Jewell and Cuy

Partner; Health Was Poor.
Lawrence Endicott, 42, president of
the Endicott Paper company East

W. L. Walsh, Endlcott's business
partner, found the body. Mrs.' Endi

Walsh told police that Endicott had
not been attending to the company's
affairs for the last two weeks." He
had been despondent and apparently in
ill health.
Walsh, went to the house on the
heights at noon after the company's
offices had been closed. He knocked at
the door and when he received no re
sponse, being fearful because of Endl
cott's recent actions, made his way
inside. He found no one downstairs
and no one answered when he called.
Upon entering the sleeping porch up
stairs he saw Endlcott's body lying be
side the bed. The body was dressed In
an old flannel shirt and khaki trousers.
There, was a bullet wound entirely
through the head. Walsh summoned
the police immediately.
No npte was found at the time,
though hope is neid that some word
was left.
There are no children. Mrs. Endi
cott went to Ban Francisco a week,
ago Tuesday to help settle up the es
tate of an aunt who had died there. A,
telegram from her' was received at the

on the Shasta this evening..- w
Friday afternoon about 5 o'clock,
Walsh telephoned Endicott a . second
time, , Endicott told his partner that
he was not feeling well. - He seemed'
downhearted - and hopeless. ' The way
he spoke, the unusual tone more than
anything else, caused Walsh to close
th office as early as possible today so
that' he ould go -to the heigh "and '
talk to his partner. '

time last ' night; ; Tie , apparently sa t
