FAILURE Of THE
UNION SAVINGS
Continued from First Page.

and extraordinary efforts were made
from the start to secure depositors
Business men, farmers, orchardists and
men in all walks of life who were sus-
pected of having a few dollars were
buttonholed on the street and impor-
tuned to place their money in the vaults
of the Union Savings Bank. In special
cases, where the amount seemed to
justify extra inducements, exorbitant
rates of interest were offered.
When the Barron will contest was
settled by the payment Of 100000 to
George Barron in trust several years
ago, the attorneys for Barron were
subjected to all manner Of arguments
to induce them to have T. V. Wright
made one of the trustees, with view
of securing this fat lump for the bank.
In fact, it is said on the best or author
ity, Attorney Morehouse was informed
that If the money was deposited in the
Union Savings Bank the bank would
pay $500 a month interest for the prlvl-
lege of handling it. The tempting offer
was refused, the reason being, IL Is
said, that the attorney had no conn
dence in a financial institution that
would make an offer to pay such I'M
heard-of rates for deposits.
It was by such 1isplay Of energy
/ and lavish promises that the bank Sc
cured a clientage larger by far than
that enjoyed by any other bank in the
city 1t is true a large percentage Of
it's patrons were men whose business
was not desired by the rival banks.
but it was number and not quality that
- nh
has been a common saying that any one
could get an accommodation at the
Union Savings Bank and it would seem
that there was a good deal OF truth IN
the saying. Howard turned TO the
Union Savings Bank after he had eX-
hausted his credit at the First Ma
tionaI. Howard first gained prominence
in Santa Clara Valley as the senior
member of the fruit buying firm of
Howard & st. George. st. George was
a man of wealth and while he remained
in the firm, money to carry on the bust
ness was not difficult to obtain. When
he withdrew things were different, and
it was about this time that Howard
turned to the Union Savings Bank for
the accommodation refused by the
First National. He gradually worked
his credit up until he was regarded as
one of the banks best customers, and
the officials of that institution con-
graduated themselves on the fortunate
circumstances that caused him to come
to them. Finally Howard wanted a
loan of $1,000 for the purpose, it is said,
of buying out his partner. The bank
could not furnish so large an amount
at that time and so informed him.

ing editorial tomorrow the Kansas
City Times, which has been a stanch
supporter of VIM. =. Bryan. will
urge the candidacy of United States
Senator Francis Marion Cockrell for
the democratic presidential nomina
ton in 1900. S4nator Cockrell,
whom the people of Missouri have
just elected to his fifth term in the
United States Senate, will bs put
forward as "an old fashioned demo
crat, who stood for what the Chicago
platform contains long before that
platform was promulgated; a demo
crat of experience in national affairs,
whose record has stood the test of
time, who knows the plain people,
and against whom the charge of
demagogY has never been brought,
who comes from the West and
South, but whose services for 81
years have been given to the whole
people of the United States"
The Times will assert that Mis-
souri's right TO consideration at the
hands of a democratic convention
cannot be questioned, adding that
"the sole objection which could have
been urged against Cockrell, that be
fought with the South, has been
answered by the action Of ex Con
