MORE BANK FRAUD
New Suits Against the
Dead Concerns.
Stockholders Action for an Account
ing From the Peoples and
Pa cific Banks.

Suit has been filed In the Superior Court by
Hermann V. Sadiery. Charles Bach, Fred
Bach, ID. B. Lyman, c. j. Bandsmann, W. o.
n. Martin and the executors of the estate Of
the late F. d. Stadmuller, as stockholders of
the Peoples Home Savings Bank, against tha /
bank and its directors, The Pacific Bank and its
directors. and all the receivers and people ever
invested with authority in either bank, for an
accounting.
The same charges are made In this suit as
have been noticed in many other actions taken
since the smash up Of year ago. The defend
ants are charged with the making of fraudulent
entries III the books. and with the fictitious en-
tries of the issuance Of stock IN the Peoples
Bank to various parties, r. ii. McDon aid. r.
II. Mcdonald Jr. and others, without any con-
sideration whatever.
II Is further charged that from May, 1889,
to January, 1894, there were Issued 1000
shares in this bank by the directors, and that
much Of this stock had not been paid for. nor
in any case was more than S33 1913 paid up
on any one share. 1t is stated that The whole
working capital OF the bank has been less than
100000. The business of the bank has not
been conducted on sound basis, and the
whole semblance of a banking business has
been carried ON merely as cloak for the pri-
waite speculatlons Of the MeDOnalds and their
cOnfederaieS.
Exception is taken to the depositfng by the
Peoples Bank directors OF a sum of $3.50. 900
with the Pacific Bank as treasurer, and the
cOnyeyances of property and notes by the latter
bank TO secure the Indebtedness are disputed
and sought TO be set aside. the whole scheme
being alleged to be fraudulent. Charges are
also made against M. II. Sherman, ex-yIce-
president of the Peoples bank, it being alleged
that Sherman was taken IN on bis promise to
use his influence with the Bank Commissioners
so as 10 get them TO shut their eyes TO the real
state of affairs. In a word, Wholesale fraud in
every direction is alleged in the complaint
against the directors OF both banks.
On these grounds 1t is sought to have re-
ceiver appointed, and judgment entered In
favor of the plaintiffs for their proportion of the
assets when matters shall have been satisfac-

Dozens of complaints have been made at

of houses who have had articles stolen out

Bee and Harper, who had been on the

No horse-show association. not even that
of New York, started off with such beau

many or so grand a lot Of celebrated equine
beauties has ever been gathered under one
roof. It is unlikely that such will ever
again move in the same company together.
Nine years ago the New York association
opened its first show with $50 entries. wi tn

$4,000 in prizes
The San Francisco association has only
about 400 entries, but look at the blood
and the pedigrees and the records. Its
prize list is equal to that of the first New
York show in cash and it adds $4,000 more
in trophies. That seems to be a pretty
good showing for place so far away from
Hoboken. n. j., as is San Francisco.
And the tremendous expense that has
necessarily attached. Before the doors

pended just $25, 600 in cold hard cash, in

One very important item Of the expense
has been made in arranging the arena. 1t
is magnificent one. 80x200 feet, while that
at Madison square Garden, where the
Knickerbockers give their swell show, is
of the same width, but just Sc feet shorter.
New York will have TO hustle to catch up.
Meanwhile the work of transforming
the gloomy interior of Mechanics Pavil-
ion into thing of beauty. where the dons
| of the equine world can curvet and prance
and caracole, and the beauties of San
Francisco can peep in the glass of fashion,
progresses rapidly. Just at the present
time the debris is piled mountain high, but
it will be moved rapidly away. and the
new fittings which will encircle the big
| arena will be put rapidly in place.
The work will have been entirely COM

"CHINA VERSUS JAPAN"
An Entertaining Lecture on the
Fighting Nations.

Fi&nt1Og I<dtIOnS.
An interesting talk on China and Japan
was given Tuesday evening by Rev. NJ. G..
Harris of the Japanese Mission in the
auditorium, Y. III. C. A. building. The
hall was fairly well filed. large proper
ton consisting of enthusiastic Japanese.
Y. Miyachi of Japan was to have
spoken, but being unable TO prepare his
address in time he did not appear. He is
a recent arrival in San Francisco from the
FlOwery Kingdom and brought with him
the latest war pictures and war stories.
Though the pictures were seen last night
through the agency of a steFeopticon lamp
and elected repeated applause, the war
stories were not told.
Mr.. Harris was entertaining in his de-
scriptions of Japanese, Chinese and Ko-
reans, but he had nothing new to say
about the war. and for sake of appear
anceS. or to furnish description for the
illustrations, he recounted various stirring
incidents already published in press dis
patches. The pictures included lurid bat
tie scenes BY japanese artists, colored
photographs oil me- identified prominently
with the war aud diplomatic relations be-
tween the OrisE powers; also pictures
OF warships. towns. castles. Notifications
and places of interest. In themselves
these pictures were instructive in q certain
degree and made q pleasing spectacular
series of views. The lecture, however,
aimed at little more than to describe the
numerous illustrations, with occasiona al
sketches of Oriental characteristics and
Japanese social life.
