No ANXIETY
IN PORTLAND
BANKING AND FINANCIAL SITUA-
TION SHOWS VERY LITTLE
RIPPLE TODAY OVER RECENT
FAILURE.

CORTLAND. Ore. Nov. THE
banking situation in Portland today
is outwardly almost calm. The as
pect of the failure of the Title
Guarantee and Trust Co, announced
yesterday, has hardly caused a ripple
today, and the people do not appear
anxious regarding the safety of
other banks of the city.
Business is being carried on today
as if nothing had happened. A large
proportion of money transactions is
being done on the clearing house
certificate plan.
The impression is very general
that. given time, the Title Guaran-
tee and Trust company will pay very
close to a hundred cents on the dol
lar, if not actually dollar for dol
lar.

kILTIES BAND
CANADA'S FAMOUS CONCERT
BAND NEXT ATTRACTION AT
TEMPLE-FAMOUS ALL OVER
THE WORLD.

A band that has travelled over
100000 miles in it's seven years of
existence must be of superior quail
ty, or it would not have been in
such demand This is true of the
famous "Kilties," Canadas greatest
concert band; and if Mr.. Carnegie
were giving a medal to the most
travelled musical organization in ex-
istence, the Kilties would undoubt-
edly wear it.
During this time they have visited
seven countries and played over
1000 concerts, two of which were
before the king of England, by
royal command.
The Kilties is a unique organiza-
ton, consisting of Scotch Canadian
players, who wear the Scotch uni
form, but who play the music of all
nations with a spirit and under
standing that speaks volumes for
their individual and collective abili-
ty as musicians. With the band is a
trained choir of 16 voices, which
renders the ballads that have made
Scotland famous the world over.
In addition to the choir and band,
the Kilties have with them a troupe
of Scotch pipers and dancers, headed
by Angus Macmillan Fraser, cham
pion piper and dancer of America,
whose equal has never been seen in
his particular act This interesting
organization will be seen and heard
in the Temple theater Friday,
November s.

JAIL SENTENCE
FOR LITTLE BOYS
BOTH FINED AND IMPRISONED
IN COUNTY JAIL-GUILTY OF
CHARGE OF BATTERY ON
JESSE DOUGHERTY.

Fifteen days in the county iaiI
and to pay fine of $50 was the SEN
tence imposed by Justice of the
Peace Erb this afternoon upon Frank
Little, who was last night foand
guilty of the charge of battery upon
the person of Jesse Dougherty.
Fred Little, a younger brother,
who was found guilty on the same
charge, was sentenced to 10 days in
Jail and to pay fine of $40.
Before passing sentence Justice
Erb said he believed a money fine
would inflict greater hardship upon
the father and family than on the
young men themselves, and In view
of this condition and the general
purposes of the law he believed the
imposition of the. confinement SEN
tence to be the only means by which
the intention of the law would be
fulfilled.

CHICAGO BANKS
PILE UP MONEY
SENTIMENT PREVAILS THAT
TIME IS FAST APPROACHING
WHEN THERE CAN BE A RE,
SUMPTION OF CASH PAYMENT.

CHICAGO, Nov. IA sentiment
among some of Chicago's leading
bankers that the time is fast APP
preaching when a resumption of
cash payments would be feasible and
desirable was one of the encouraging
features OF the local banking situa-
tion.
This sentiment was based on the
increasing supply of currency being
piled up in some of the banks. In
one bank it is said the supply of cash
is not far from $2O,O0O.000, and the
deposits at that institution since the
banks adopted the clearing house
certificates have amounted to sey-
eral million dollars.
Nevertheless, the clearing house
committee will have before it today
the detailed form of credit checks
which may be issued under the au-
thority of the clearing house associa-
tion. These forms were being work
ed out in detail last night, and if
adopted will be a medium of ex-
change of universal use, as convent
ent as cash.

son as last" said Division Superin-
tendent A. Beamer of the Northern
Pacific, who was a business visitor
in the city today.
1.-The railroad company is doing
all in its power to relieve the con-
gested condition in all parts of the
Northwest, but the immense produc-
ton of all kinds has made the de-
mand for cars exceptionally heavy,
and we are able to supply the de-
mand only as the cars are delivered
to US"
Mr.. Beamer arrived in the city in
his private car attached to the regu-
lar owl train and left on the 9:10
train for an inspection of the Pa
louise branch.
Mr.. Beamer states the matter of
a change of schedule for the Palouse
and Clearwater branches is now be-
ing considered in the Tacoma office,
and while it is quite likely a change
in the Clearwater train will be
made, the exact outcome of the con-
ference is entirely a matter of con-
lecture.

Helen MALONEY
IN A CONVENT
DAUGHTER OF PAPAL MARQUIS
QUIT HER ENAMORATA AND IS
DOING PENANCE IN A PHILA-,
DELPHIA CONVENT.

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 7.-Helen
Maloney, daughter of Martin Ma
loney, millionaire and papal marquis,
whose alleged elopement with Sam
uel Charleston has set two continents
talkins is said to be an inmate of
Notre Dame convent in this city.
She is reported to have been seen
in the convent within a few days by
an old friend of her father, who
knows her well. Further, it is now
declared that she has not been in
Europe; that she accompanied Clark
ston only as far as Montreal and
then returned to Philadelphia.
These statements are supported by
report that Mrs. Carberry Ritchie,
Maloney's eldest daughter, who went
to London with her husband sup
posedly to search for the missing
heiress, has returned and is in the
Maloney home. The statement that
Helen Maloney is in the convent,
which is situated in the fashionable
section of the city, comes from a
wealthy man who has known them
for years.
II heard some time ago." he said
today, that Helen Maloney was in
Notre Dame. I did not believe it,
thinking it was merely another of
the foolish stories that have been
circulated since her disappearance.
However, I investigated I did not
do this through curiosity, bus In or
der that l might, as an old friend of
Mr., Maloney, stoy some of the
stories
II went to the convent myself, and
while sitting in the office, saw Helen
Maloney, whom I have known for
years, walk down the hallway. I
know her well and could not have
been mistaken.

new SCHEDULE
FOR CLEARWATER
BEGINNING SUNDAY, NOV. 10,
CLEARWATER TRAIN WILL
LEAVE LEWISTON IN MORN
ING, RETURNING IN EVENING.

SPOKANE, Wash, Nov. 1.-THE
passenger train on the Clearwater
branch of the Northern Pacific. be-
tween Lewiston and Stites,~ Idaho,
will be changed so as to leave Lew
iston in the morning and return in
the afternoon, according to advices
received last night from Tacoma,
where the proposed change was for
warded for endorsement by Traffic
Manager Mutt.
The schedule viii not be material
ly affected on the Palouse branch,
with the exception of the owl train
between Spokane and Lewiston,
which will arrive in Lewiston Is
minutes earlier, or at 1920 a. M,
which will allow passengers for
Clearwater points 80 minutes for
breakfast before departing for their
destination.
The new schedule will be effective
November 10, and the Clearwater
train which leaves Lewiston Satur-
day afternoon will return Sunday
afternoon on the new time, prepara-
tory to making the mDrning run for
Clearwater points Monday.
The change is made at the in
stance of a large number of people
who reside in the cities removed
from the railroad in the Camas and
Nezperce prairie sections, and will
allow them to leave their homes on
the same day they go to Lewiston,
and will eliminate the necessity of
spending more than one night away
from home when trips to the outside
country are made.

DEPos1TORs OBJECT TO HILL.
Want New Official and Object to
States Collateral.

PORTLAND, Ore, Nov. 1.-The
depositors of the Title Guarantee
and Trust company are not satisfied
with the appointment of George H.
Hill as receiver. Hill was an official
in the bank before the failure.
They are also angry at the action
of the bank in assigning collateral
to the state treasurer to reinforce
the states security, thus depriTing
the common depositors of this asset.
A meeting of depositors will be held
to frame a proper complaint within
a few days.

MONEY READY
FOR CIRCULATION
NATIONAL BANKS OF THE ICOUN-
TRY CAN HAVE $167 100000
TO USE AS SOON AS BONDS AND
SECURITIES ARE APPROVED.

WASHINGTON, Nov. There
will be no trouble and little delay in
supplying the national banks of the
courEry with the additional circula-
tion proposed under the plan of Sec
retary of the Treasury Cortelyou and
Comptroller of the Currency Ridg-
lev. No bank will be required to
wait longer than three weeks, and
most banks, especially the larger
financial institutions, will have their
additional circulation within a few
hours, when they have complied
with the requirement regarding the
deposit of approved bonds and Sc
curity.
Nearly year is required to design
and sngrave a plate for a new b
The completed plate is the work of
Ia engravers About 20 days are re-
quired for the printing, in that time
the bill passing through the hands of
So persons.
The bill is counted 46 times in the
bureau of engraving and printing
and four times in the Office of the
comptroller of the currency. When
this has been done, if the bill is a
national bank note, it is ready for its
journey from the treasury depart
ment to the bank of issue. If treas
ury note, the government seal must
be affixed before it is put into circu-
lation.
But all this is unnecessary to take
care of the present emergency. The
secretary of the treasury has on
hand about s167, 100000 in national
bank notes. AS is we'll known, a ma
tional bank is permitted to have a
circulation equal to it's capital. The
treasury department, with a fore
sight gained from experience, keeps
on hand awaiting issue bank notes
of the more important national
banks.

banks desire large circulation and
usually the additional money is
wanted Immediately. That these re-
quests may be handled promptly the
comptrolleS of the currency sees to it
that the additional notes are ready
for shipment upon the receipt of the
necessary bond securities. The comp
troller is thus able to hand over to
the express companies the needed
notes within a few hours and the ad-
ditional circulation is ready to take
its place in the regular channels of
business as soon as the bank officers
have affixed their names to the bills.

LONL~,, Nov. THE Bank OF

of assurance that such demands
would cease caused the increased
discount.
This is the first time the per

financial troubles on the European
continent and in Amreica. On that
occasion it reached per cent, but

SEATTLE, Nov. Letters from
prominent persons, railroad officials

tives of the United States from Coun-
Gil Grove, Kansas. Miller writes in
part as follows: II have made it
rule for sometime to not pledge my
self in advance to the support of any
measure before congress, but know
ing as do the spirit of the West, and
having witnessed the wonderful sue
cess of the Portland exposition,
have no hesitancy in saying that the
delegation from Washington will find
me cordially cooperating with them
in the matter of the Alaska -Yukon-
Pacific exposition"
Congressman Favorable.
Il am, in my official capacity, in
clined to feel favorable to your expo-

well, member of the house of repre-
sentatives, writes from Springfield,

George F. Cook, member of the
house of representatives, writes from
Denver, Colorado: "I feel, as all cit
liens in the West should, deep in
terest in the exposition, and you have
my best wishes for its success" II
