BANKS RECEIVER
MADE PERMANENT
Comptroller of Currency Con-
tinues Rorebeck in Charge of
Union National of Oakland

OAKLAND, April 15.-To block the
control of the affairs of the Union na-
tional bank in liquidation Comptroller
of the Currency Murray has tele-
graphed from Washington. D. c., the
appointment Of E. F. Rorebeck as per-
manent receiver. This move places
control of the bank in the hands of
a member of the federal staff, who is
aligned on neither side of the battle,
and is subject only 20 the direct per-
sonal orders of the comptroller.
Rorebeck. who is a national bank
examiner at large, was sent from
Washington as temporary receiver. He
declined to make any statement con-
cerning. the new situation, saying that
the federal regulations prevented him
from giving publicity TO any of the
banks affairs.
Among the sidelighss on the Union
nationals affairs is a story which
cropped up today of how the closing
of the bank blocked the fling of a
suit this week by the bank against
Thomas Prather and the Adamses along
lines identical with the suit which was
brought last fall in the United States
circuit court for an accounting by
Prather and the Adamses, the plain
tiffs being stock holders of the bank.
The banks suit had been placed in the
hands of Attorney General U. S. Webb.
1t was to have supplanted a suit filed
in the superior court of this county by
Margaret Hart. a stock holder. The
Hart suit also followed the United
States court complaint 1t was dis
missed shortly after it was fled
Prather has asserted that he was
being attacked by the bank over the
shoulders of the stock holders. This
was denied by President George Roeth.
He had since admitted that the bank
had intended TO bring suit in its
own name against Prather, but that
the closing of the bank had prevented
such move
The present condition of the banks
affairs does not prevent the suing
stock holders from continuing their
fight. Charles S. Wheeler of San Fran
cisco is attorney for those stock hold
ers. who are Mary, J. Huff, Theresa
Calvert and f. d. Block.
