AYERS COMPANY
IS RANK SWINDLE


4 OAKLAND, April 13.-Chargesl
that the Columbia-Mohawk Mining
and Leasing Company had fieeced theI
people of this State out of thousands
of dollars were made by Attorney
George F. Curtis in Judge Melvin'sI
court today during the hearing of :
petition for writ of mandamus to
secure possession of the books of the
concern. Henry Russ, who said h.
was stakeholder, filed the petition
after he had made numerous unsuc-
cessful attempts to find the books
and had failed even to locate the
main Office of the company, accord
ing to his petition.
The filing of the petition was fol-
lowed by a general scurrying to
cover of all directors and officials OF
the coAcern. Curtis said, and p N.
Beringer. who held the Office Of sec
Eretary,, who was defendant in the
petition, promptly filed an affidavit
to the effect that he had several
times rendered his resignation and
had had no notice taken of it by the
heads of the concern His duties
had been perfunctory at all times, ne
said, and had consisted largely in
sending out calls for directors meet
ings, which nobody attended.
Curtis included a charge that the
prospectus of the company, which
had been largely circulated, contain
ed names of persons who were repre-
scented as capitalists, and who in
dorsed the company, but who in
lreality were not capitalists, and
whose names had been used withori
4 their consent or knowledge. Adolpl
Roland was one of these who testified
that he was no capitalist and knew
nothing of the company until he
learned that his name had been used
4 Barton Pittman admitted he was 4
director and that the company sold
shares for many thousands of dol.
lars, but he disclaimed any knowl
edge of the financial transactions d
the company, and also said he did
not know a cash book from ledge:
Beringer testified that he had mono
of the books, but he believed they
were in possession of Es r. Marriott
of Los Angeles. Judge Melvin or
dered a subpoena for Marriott Il
bring the books into court with hin
in one week. when the matter viii b
taken up again. MM
This Columbia~Mohawk Mimi:
and Leasing Company is fake,
said Curtis, after the close of the
hearing. ITO the best OF my knowl
edge 1t has a claim. in Goldfield
which originally cost $500, and OF
which they issued s1.O0O.O00 WORT

TRANSFER OF ORIENTAL.
Banks Books and Assets Taken by
State Department.

The assets and books of the Oriental Bank were
transferred yesterday by the temporary receivers.
the Carnegie Trust Company and Henry Schneider,
TO the State Banking Department, pursuant to the
order of Justice OGorrnan OF the Supreme Court.
affirmed by the Appellate Division, disInssing the
receivers. Clark Williams, State Superintendent
OF Banks. personally supervised the transfer.
In a letter to Mr.. Williams the Attorney General
had asked him impound the assets until the
General for the dissolution of the Oriental. Mr..
Jackson in his letter said that he considered the
proposed contract between the Oriental Bank and
the METROPOLITAN Trust Company Illegal, and
deemed it his duty to advise Mr.. Williams TO re-
tain possession of the banks assets.
PhiIbin. Beeknan & Menken. counsel for the ORR
entail Bank announced last night that they in
tended to call on Mr.. Williams to-day TO turn
over the assets of the bank to the Oriental di-
heard l o'clock to-day.
ar Williams, in his letter to Mr.. Jackson, said
that unless the latter procured from the court
an order directing him not to act, he would use
his own discretion. The justices of the Appellate
Division have once refused to grant the Attorney
General such an order When he applied on
Wednesday for an order to show cause why the
peopIe should not have the right TO appeal to
the Court of Appeals he also asked for order
directing the State Superintendent Of Banks TO re-
tain possession of the Oriental assets pending the
settlement of the dissolution proceedings, but the
order was refused.

RATE At 3 PER CENT.
Bank of England Lorers Discount
Fifth Chance IN 1908.

London. March i9.-The rate of discount of the
Bank of England was reduced to-day from 31s to 8
per cent
Beyond causing feeling of cheerfulness the
announcement of the reduction made little i'm
provenent in prices, dealers IN Consols having
discounted this step yesterday by advancing the
quotation in these securities by nearly half point.
American securities opened weak, but later they
advanced to parity, in anticipation that the
reduced rate OF discount would bring a hrmer
opening from New York Then values eased but
they improved later. in sympathy with Wall Street
and closed fraction below the best for the day.
but rather dull.
Foreign securities were quietly steady. Money
was in moderate supply and readily absorbed. Dis
counts were quiet
The reduction Of to-day. making the fifth change
since the beginning OF the year caused little
prise on the market, the banks stock of coin
and bullion amounts 10 nearly f+0 Ooo.e00 and the
forthcoming distribution of government dividends
viii have a marked effect the monetary posi-
ton. and the retention OF higher rate therefore
is scarcely justified. Caution. however. advo-
Gated against undue weakening of the market for
discounts, in view OF the weakness of Continental
exchanges London and shipments of gold to
