SIGHTSEERS ON MOFFAT
ROAD STALLED Ely SNOW
Seventy-five Passengers Without Food
and Rescuing Party Also
Is Held

DENVER, April 1S-Seventy- five
passengers who left this city Sunday
morning last for a trip over the Mof-
fat road are held at Corona, at the
summit of the Continental divide, with
nothing to eat but the limited amount
of foodstuffs in shipment in the ex-
press car.
The primary cause of the blockade
is the derailment of a snow pillow sent
out to clear the track of huge drifts
caused by Sundays snowstorm.
A train load of laborers started to
rescue the passengers yesterday, but,
according to reports, they, too, are
stalled in the snow several miles this
side of the passenger train. A fifty
mile gale was blowing on the main
range yesterday and work had to be
delayed.
The snow pillow is buried in the snow
and it is thought it will be several
days before the blockade can be lifted.
In the meantime the passengers and
trainmen are eating what they can get
from the express car and sleeping in
the day coaches.
1t is reported also the passengers
who left Steamboat Springs, the west
ern terminus of the road, on Wednes-
day last are still on the road, their
train being stalled at Fawn Creek.
The people along this line depend
upon the daily shipments of supplies
from Denver, and unless the road Is
opened soon there will be a real scar
city of provisions.

The transcript of testimony gives 100
pages of lodging on Schenck's part, all
of which appeared to astonish the
grand jurors.
Schenck denied, however, the charge
of attempting to bride E. j. Fleming
at the time the latter was city prose-

foreman of the grand jury asked
Schenck more than once If he expect

LARGE BANK AT
OAKLAND FAILS
DOORS OF UNION NATIONAL
ARE CLOSED
SPECIAL EXAMINER ACTS AS
RECEIVER
Officers of Institution Made Brave
Fight After Recent Panic, but
Were Unable to Keep Con-
Germ Solvent
IBy Associated Press.l

OAKLAND, April 13.-The doors OF
the Union National bank in this city
were closed this morning. Special
Bank Examiner E. F. Rorebeck, VINO
has been looking over the books OF the
bank for the past week, has taken
charge of the institution and VIII Wlnu
up it's affairs.
In a public statement he has Just
issued Mr.. Rorebeck declines to give
any special reason for his action, re-
ferring the question to the comptroller
of the currency in Washington. he
SAYS, however, that the directors OF the
bank have made a strong fight to repay
old obligations and that they have as
sured him that depositors will be paid
in full.
The Union National bank was orig
inally the property of the Adams Bros
and Thomas G. Prather. They sold 1t
to j. Dalzell Brown and 1t failed IN
19O7-Os, Some of the old directors
afterWard attempted to start the bank
again.
The failure will in no way affect the
other banks in Oakland, which Special
Examiner Rorebeck says are perfectly
sound.
Bank Examiner Rorebeck, who is
temporary receiver, made the following
statement at noon today:
''As the national bank examiner,
temporarily in charge of this bank,
am not authorized to make a public
statement relative to the causes which
led to the closing of the institution.
Such a statement must be obtained
from the comptroller of the currency
or from the directors of the bank.
Brave Fight Made
at will say, however, that the bank
has been fighting bravely against al
most insurmountable odds since 1t re-
opened, after suspension during the
panic. The present management ap-
pears to have worked hard to rehabili-
tate the institution and restore 1t to its
old-time prestige, and during the past
eighteen months they have iquidated
large liabilities due depositors and
other creditors. / understand the di-
rectors are confident that the deposit
ors will be paid in full, and / trust
that such will be the case"
President George Roeth, when seen
this morning, said:
st have very little to say. I have
done the best 1 could under the cir
cumstances and hope we will be able
to pay the depositors dollar for dollar.
The affairs of this bank are now in the
hands of Receiver Rorebeck, and I
have nothing more to say"
During the past few months there
have been number of suits in which
the Union National bank was interest
ed; some as plaintiff and some as de-
PENDANT. Many dispositions were taken
in these cases in which the affairs of
the Union National bank were shown
up in an unenviable light.
1t is said that these dispositions were
called to the attention of the comp
troller at Washington, with the result
that he sent Mr.. Rorebeck here to
make an examination of the finances
of the institution.
There is due the depositors the sum
of $53S, 1902.
