The pre. carious condition of a western Ore. gon bank, unidentified in the record to avoid publicity that might be ruinous, was aired before the state banking board today when Frank C. Bramwell, state superin tendent ot banks, went under in vestlgution. The investigation is at the Instigation of representatives of the Portland National bank and the unidentified email town bank came Into the case at first In an inci dental way, but later as the crux of the entire inquiry. Irrigation and local improvement bonds of Or; state of Washington have hit it hard. At the outset of the formal hear ing today the banking board and the Portland National bank repre sentatives and attorneys disagreed as to what the inquiry was to bo about. The board took the dosI- tion that the bank representatives at the informal hearing last Fri day, had made, or at least inferred charges against the abllltv and in tegrity of Bramwell relative to his attitude toward the unidentified bank. Today J. N. Hart, attorney for the Portland National, insisted mat no charges had been made. and that the. whole question was whether the Portland National bank was to be chartered by Bram well as a reserve depository for state banks. As the Inquiry pro ceeded the testimony was along tno unes demanded by the board, State Treasurer Kay. a member of the banking board, . declared that the board already has enough tes timony relative to whether the Portland National bank should be accorded authority to be a reserve depository-and is ready to make its ruling on lliat point. What this wiii;Ue was not intimated. . . Manager Is Offered The Portland National represen tatives last Friday introduced letter written by Bramwell in No vember to officials of the unidenti fied bank in which he proposed that an examiner of the state bank ing Uopartmo.il take over the man agement of the bank at a salary o ViiO a month with the option of buying the bank within 12 months, 'he stock In the meantime to be placed In escrow with the super' lutendent of banks. Under the op . tion sale to any. other person was to be barred until the consent of the person holding the option was .given. This proposal of Bramwell . was declared by will B. Haine3. .'president of the Portland National bank, to have been unduly arm trn ry. -, oetendlng his action. Bramwell today showed that the unidentified bn.nk had been under surveillance of his department for four years, its precarious condition was at trlbuted mainly to the fact that li holds irrigation and local improve ment bonds of the state of Wash ington, which of late have been under fire. Bramwell submitted correspondence showing that the cashier of the bank wrote a Seattl attorney saynlg that "more than half of our capital is invested In those worthless bonds." List of Bonds Given Bramwell submitted a list of the bonds and their present market value as ascertained by submitting them to two Portland bond houses for the benoflt of the banking board. Bramwell said that when the bonds wero examined by the Portland house they did not know who held the bonds, or what the purpose of the inquiry was. Should the unidentified bank attempt to liquidate,, said Bramwell. Its loss would be about $27,000. Another startling disclosure in Bramwell's testimony was that certain note held by the bank, and which, when the bank was exam' ined, the cashier claimed was good, was later admitted by him at a conference of his board of di rectors, to be sigfted with forged names. Bramwell said be had list ot the bank's notes, but he com mented only on the one. Bramwell went into details lead' Ing up to his proposal that a mem bor of his department take over the management of the bank, explain ing that the condition of the bank was such as to make nocossary a readjustment or the sending: In of a competent man to tnke ctiargo, First, he Bald, it was proposed that a levy of 100 per cent be madevon the stockholders, iater tno oanK officials wero instructed to put competont banking man In charge, to be named by the president of the bank with the approval of the bunk superintendent. At a conference mter by Bramwell. two examiners, four .directors of tho bank and the cashlor, he nald, it was agroed that a manager should be employed, the 100 per cent assessment to be held in abeyance. It wan also agreed that if the bank could not find a proper manager, then the depart ment should name one. President Sends -Letter i On July SI a letter, Introduced In evidence by Bramwell, was re ceived by him from tho bank presi dent, thnnklng him for kindness shown nnd asking him to select a manager. H. O. Voget, a bank examiner, testified that the cashier of tho bank proposed to him that he be come manager, but ho declined to entertain the proposal. Bramwell Introduced a letter written by him to 0. B. Kellogg, a former bilker and Mosnr banking man, asking APANESE TROOPS HOLD MUKDEN ARMY SUPPLIES RMED FORCES PROHIBITED FROM ENTERING CITY cnt nil ( hung Two -Lin will Not Bo Allowed lo Return lo Capital, Ih Order my The Asnoclated Preiit) LONDON.

The order also prohibits anv acts of hostilities within six miles of the Japanese railway from Chnnsr- chun to Dalny, a distance of about oo miles.
