Title Guarantee ~ Trust Co. Has
$4,000 on Hand to Meet Deposits
of Nearly Two Millions---A Fine
Example of Hysterical Finance.
tUnited Press Leased wlre)

Portland, Or, Nov. 1.-THE Title
Guarantee & Trust Company, of Port
land, went into the hands of a re-
ceiver late yesterday afternoon, on
the order of the federal court, a VIC
tim of hysterical finance. Huge
loans, made on uncertain real estate
speculations, promoted by Lafe
Pence, running up to $225, 900, and
realty investments to $175,000 and
heavy plunges into irrigation pro-
jects in Eastern Oregon, equaling
100000 in loans, and the accumu.
lation of thousands of dollars worth
of incopvertable securities, whose
value has not yet been thoroughly
established, were the determining
factors in the Trust company's fall
ure. At the time of the receivership
the institution had $4,000 of cash in
It's vaults and $4,000 in other banks.
Against this was the potential right
of demand on the part of 600 de-
positors of $1,SOO,000.
The states deposits of 1895, 900 Is
amply secured by 100000 surety
bonds.
In a statement this morning ].
Thornburn Ross, president, states
that he believes the greater part of
the trust company's assets will yield
a cash valuation up to the banks

VALDEZ, Alaska, August l6.-Actions
of Japanese sealers in raiding towns and
abusing natives near here are regarded
as significant, in view of the strained
relations between the two governments.
Word has been received that the
United States revenue cutter Manning is
coming to this port with 6S japanese
poachers, who made the raid on the In
dian village on Kodiak Island under ar
rest At the time the inhabitants were
all away and this circumstance is the
only thing that prevented bloodshed, it
seems certain. As near as can be learned
the Japanese were in highly wrought
up condition when they invaded the little
town.
Houses were sacked and many depre-
lations committed, showing that the in
vaders had little fear of the law. De-
tails of this unseemly attack have been
slow in getting out, but enough has
been learned to arouse the indignation
of all Alaskarls up ami down the coast.
In view of the lawless conduct of the
sealers in their raids upon the nearby
rookeries there is a growing belief that
their presence in this vicinity is for the
purpose of fomenting strife.
The poachers now under arrest and on
their way to this port will receive a
hearing before the United States dis
trict court now in session here. Already
the little information available has been
forwarded to the state department at
Washington, concerning the aggression
of the little brown men in the north
Their piratical conduct is to be SUBJ
jected to the closest scrutiny possible
for the purpose Of ascertaining if there
is any deeper motive back of it.
Government officers hesitate to speak
openly on the subject and their unusu-
ally guarded tongues are taken as evil
dence that extraordinary caution governs
their actions in the present difficulty.
But the mere fact that the cruiser Buff
falo has been ordered to the japanese
poacher- infested sealing grounds of
Alaska, as an auxiliary to the revenue
cutter service, is taken as evidence that
the Washington authorities realize the
seriousness of the situation, I
