SlOO, 100000 In Cash
And Available Securities Is Held by
the san Francisco Banks.

San Francisco April 2S.-All of San
Francisco's A banks, 81 commercial and
Y savings will be located within an
area Of the burned district. Inspection
has revealed the fact that the vaults in
every instance remain intact, but with
probably two or three exceptions the
fine buildings We're utterly destroyed.
According to the statements fled by
those banks with the bank commits
sion January l, last, the value of the
buildings aggregated Sc, 065 Os2. Add to
this total the valuation of premises oc-
cupied by the ten national banks, 1927, =
295, and the aggregate is Sc, 992, 627. Two
thirds of this valuation represents the
land value of the banking sites and
therefore is not loss, the net loss to the
banks is about $3.50 000, a sum which
IN no way impairs their financial stand
ing. The buildings and fixtures are
partly insured and this will cut down
the loss to a less figure, but how much
can not be stated with any degree of
definiteness at this time.
The money on hand in the ~ com
nercia1 banks at the time was S16551. :
454 while the savings banks have coin
in hand to the amount of So 998, 804.
Add-to this the S10.030, 765 in specie in
the vaults of the ten national banks
and there is an aggregate of $50. 81. O23
in coin Immediately available The
amount of money due the three classes
of banks from other banks and bankers
was $27. 987 09o of which, however. only
$1S,00000 due from outside banks can
be figured on, the balance being due
from other San Francisco banks. This
brings the total money with its reserve
up to more than $4S. 00O. 600
In the line of convertible securities
the banks held stocks and bonds valued
a. $91, 191, 1870. One-thfrd of this total
represents United States bonds. This
one-third or $30,00o,0o0 brings the grand
total OF money within reach of san
Francisco banks up to S78 900, 600 and it
is safe to say that sufficient securities
are so readily convertible that the total
could be made 800, 900 900 in ten days
time

HARRY TRACY II.
Escaping Prisoner shoots Two omeers
and Is Pursued By Posse.

WOODBURY., Ore, April 28-Frank
Smith, the alleged slayer Of Policeman
Hanlon OF Oregon City and an escap-
ed prisoner from the city jail at Port
land, at / O'Clock this morning shot and
fatally wounded Sheriff J. S. Shaver
OF Clackamas county and seriously in
Jured Captain O. D. Henderson OF COM
pany D, Oregon National guard. The
posse which has been pursuing Smith
for three days, surrounded him in the
outskirts of w oodburn in a clump of
bushes about dusk last night. Shortly
after 1 o'clock, Smith made a sudden
dash from the bushes and gained the
into a part of the posse consisting of
Captain Henderson, Sheriff Shaver
Sheriff Culver of Marion and two 9TH
erg.
Henderson commanded Smith to
throw up his hands and Smith respond
ed by opening fire with a revolver at a
distance of six feet. Henderson fell all
most at the first shot and Shaver a
moment later.
Before the others realized what had
happened Smith darted into a nursery
close to the track. The remainder of
the posse hurriedly surrounded this
place where it is believed Smith still
is.
A telephone message from the Asso-
ciated Press correspondent at Wood
burn says:
When search was made at daylight
of the country into which Smith escap-
ed ard was supposed to be hiding it
was discovered that the man had again
eluded the posse. The posse from
WOODBURY. assisted detachment from
the Portland police and a number of
try in which the man is supposed to be
hiding"
