SSUSSANPIUS SN Pears’ soap brings ‘health and the color of OAKLAND BANK QUARREL | GROWS HOTTER STILL Morris Issues New Circular Sends * Stockho lders Details of His Sensational Charges. OAKLAND, Jan. 11.—H. C. Morris, former cashier of the Central Bank, and his father, H. 8. Morris, are still hurling their broadsides at.the ‘man- agement of the bank fn which they hold much stock. They ave denouncing the management in circulars that they | mall to the stockholders. A The directors of the bank are still | standing by W. G. Palmanteer, at whom these circulars are aimed, and they express their confidence in his ability and management. It is as- serted that Mr. Palmanteer and his friends have more than enough votes to continue them in control. President Thomas Crellin says the charges have all been investigated and dismissed by the bank officials. Mr. Palmanteer re- fuses to. discuss the matter. The last circular runs in part thus: c the stockholders of Central Bank: As I predicted in my former circular mest ot the proxies obtained from you, ostensibiy to revise the by-laws of Central Bank, turncd up in the hands of one man and were used to dis- miss me from the directorate at the special meeting of Decemb: There were a few plain statements 1 wished to present for your consideration at that meeting, ' but 1 was dinied the privilege of stating truths, that you as stockholders should and shall hear. Principally 1 wished to prefer the following charge, that I had previously presented to the board of directors, October 5, 1904, with the request. that It be'made part f the min- utes: T herewith charge W. G. having forged the name of Friederika Biume on a proxy for one hundred shares of Central Palmanteer with vote sald forged proxy at the stockholders’ meeting of Central Bank, held In March, 1904. I herewith most respectfully ask thgt a com- { Mittee of five directors be appointed to in- vestigate this charge of forgery. 1 further- more ask _this- committee .to investigate the | disap; ce of the. proxy for 205 shares of | stoek_standing"in, the name of Claire Curtls Hyxley and . voted by W. G. Palmanteer Drexy at the above mentiored meeting, and | 8150 to-investigate Paimanteer's statement that | there ‘was_an old proxy somewhere around that Mr. Yates bad.!” Since that ‘date ' have collected more evi- dexce. of these forgeries and now have state- ments signed by both Mrs. Blume of San Pablo and Miss Huxley of Paris, ce. The circular quotes in full the letters from ' the persons' named, corroborat- | proxies. Morris demands that Cashier | Blake be compelled to produce from the ‘archives of the bank what he terms the evidence of Palmanteer’s forgeéry. Continuing, Morris says: No attention whatever ®ms paid to these chargés. Apparently an effort is belng ma o suppress these facts and stifle investis: ton. Why any one should assume this at | tude of ehlelding the forger and preventing investigation of unlawful acts of such gravity and magnitude is inexplicable. If Palmanteer be dismissed from the It he is innocent he should invite the fullest and most | searching _investigation. Surely his present attitude of suppression is not calculated to in- £pire confidence in his innocence. ' Turn oo, the ight | orable man to take in this matf 1 now urge upon every stockholder of this bank the necessity of attending in person the annual meeting. You have the power; will you assert it and take such action as you think wige and best for the future welfare of the Bank stock standing in her name, and with | Central Bank? . C.

Hagg- barth, by which the National Live Stock Association was to be remodeled and its control vested In a board com- posed of representatives of the trades and interests. allied in the raising of live stock, has been torn to pieces so far as the rallroads are concerned. For two days an executive committee com- posed of three representatives of each industry has been working on the pro- posed reorganization plan, and it will require at least one day more to finish its work. No report will be made to the convention before Friday morning. Before it was definitely concluded to prevent the raflroads from acquiring membership in the association & bitter fight was waged in the committee- room. The Texas and Colorado cattle- men became wrought up over the pos- sibflity of the railroads having a voice in the management of the live stock association had announced their fnten- tion of withdrawing from the associa- tion if the measure was carried. Other ‘Western organizations gave evidence of a desire to take similar action. There was a lively debate over the packers, but it was finally decided to admit them into the'association. All the other branches of the livestock in- dustry will also be allowed to have representatives in the reorganization. Only the railroads remain outside. 8. H. Cowan of Fort Worth, Tex., spoke on the transportation question. The vital defect with the interstate commerce laws, he declared, was that the Commissioners lacked the power to enforce thelr decrees. He favored speedy action by Congress empowering | the Commissioners to make their or- ders binding upon the railroads and upon the shippers. At the conclusion of Mr. Cowan’s address the convention adjourned until to-morrow morning, when it is expected that the committee on organization will report to the convention. —_———— NEW TOURIST HOTEL FOR 'A BARBARA Company Capitalized at Two ‘Hundred Thousand Dollars Plans to Build.
