Mr.. Pike declared that the newspapers
were against the committee and that all Of
Tue papers Yesterday were filed with the
ioulest ISLANDERS against that body, yet in
the next breath he asserted that the press
hao done more good for the depoSitors
ihan any other agency.
Then followed a long rambling speech
IN which attacks were made upon many
people de gave the addresses of all of
the directors, with interpretations. Dr.
Boushey was referred to as "a worthless
old imbecile." OF Director Keeney Mr.
Pike said: He is a grader. He owns
five shares. Dick Mcdonald gave them to
him. He goes down to San Luis ObispO to
grade lands and gets paid for it. Oh, it is
fine scheme, tell you
Speaking of jenkins, he said: He's
the man who went TO Europe with Dicks
bonds" and, continuing. he added: Now,
there's Graves he's a big Mason. There
are good many MasOns among the de-
positoTs. but the Masons do not counte-
nance anything which is not right"
The speaker made some vague charges
against Graves. and then passed on to
bank affairs. declaring that Graves had
taken S247 so out OF a special deposit,
adding: Now if anybody will tell me
that's an honest act Tll vote for him.
Now l have struck a dandy" continued
the speaker: George Schulz. Does any
body know him? Why. if l had two pigs
in the country l wouldn't let him drive
one OF them With all due respect to
nationality, can you pick up a worse look
ing bum than this Dutchman with the
Irish Donegal whiskers? His office is SIS
Pine street. Go up there and see him,
every one of you. Don't harm him. Look
at him and see If you would like to have
him control your deposits"
The transaction relating to the Swan
berg securities was gone over. and the
speaker added some uncomplimentary
words with reference to Charles r. Mont
gomery.
What will you do2" asked Pike.
Hang 'em. hang 'em," came from vari-
GUS quarters of the hall.
DR.. w. II. Logan made a short speech.
He denied emphaticalIy that he was
friend of Mcdonald, and declared that he
IL
Il have but $500 in the Peoples Bank"
said he, but 1 have widowed
sister who has $4,000 on deposit
there. If you should steal SIS you would
go to San Quentin tomorrow. but they
have stolen 100000. Clerks are kept in
the bank al needless expense One clerk
taIlles one book day. when he might
tally twenty. The money is going to
waste. II we can't stop it by fair means
we shall have to find some other way"
,. A. Mcdonnell, who was named for
place on the directory by the committee of
seven, said he had not sought the place
and was reluctant to take it. He denied
the report that he was a friend of DR.. r.
II. Mcdonald, and stated also that much
annoyance had been frequently caused
him by confusing him with another man of
the same name in this city.
Secretary Pike read a letter: from
Graves and Jenkins, denying that they
had promised their designations to Liver
nash, and suggested thata vigilance COM
mittee be formed to take care of them.
a representative OF a fra ternal lodge OF
ST. Helena declared that the expressed
wish of his lodge was that the old d.
rectory should resign.

100 be then and there appointed to wait
on Graves and Schultz and the other
directors Immediately and get their resig-
nations.
Il will be one of fifty to volunteer"
said Mr.. Harris.
The widest excitement prevailed for
time and the suggestion of the formation
OF a committee of force was roundly ap-
pauded.
II. l. Hutton counseled moderation. He
thought smaller committee could call the
next day and state the demands of the de-
positors.
Messrs. Mahoney and Cross favored the
formation Of the larger committee.
After much discussion it was resolved
that the original committee of seven should
make one more effort to-day to secure the
designations Of the old directors and re-
port to the depositors at a mass-meeting
which will probably be called for Friday.
