PORTLAND SAVINGS BANK.
Fears Entertained That the Creditors
Will Suffer.

PORTLAND. Or, Aug. 16.-A petition is
being circulated among the depositors of
the suspended Portland Savings Bank for
the removal of ID. p. Thompson as receiver
and the appointment of "a practical and
disinterested man." Thompson was vice.
president of the bank.
Much excitement has been occasiOned
among the depositors by the statement
that the bank held notes. dated the day
before the bank closed and aggregating
$4,000, against the officers and employees
of the bank and President Dekum's sous.
Cashier SLratton to-day said:
"The amounts called for in these notes
were not borrowed from the bank on the
dates mentioned July 81 and 2S). but they
were merely renewed on those dates. The
makers in each instance had paid up their
interest TO date and had the old notes can
ceed and new notes made"
According to Cashier STATIONS state
ment, no money was drawn from the bank
by those persons on the dates named above.
The Evening Telegram says: Accept
ing this statement as true, 1t relieves the
parties from the suspicion of playing a
grab game. The affairs OF this bank are
the subjects OF a great deal of talk. yet
there is no occasion for undue excitement
precautionary practices until all the facts
are known.
I'VE admit that on the face of 1t the ou;-
look is not as promising to the creditors as
they might wish. There is an apparent
possibility that the assets will not realize
enough TO pay the Indebtedness. vet it may
turn cut better than il now looks and the
depositors may receive every cent that is
due them. II these were flush times there
would be no question about the solveney

IF the universal pressure lets up within
