Moore Gives
His Testimony

PORTLAND, Ore, March 29-Wal-
ter H. Moore, former president of the
defunct Oregon Trust & Savings bank
Of this city, who is on trial on a
charge of receiving deposits in the
bank when he knew it to be insolv-
ent, took the stand today in his own
behalf.
Moore's testimony was a general de-
NAL Of the charge made by the state.
The witness was self possessed and
told straightforward story of his
connection with the bank.
Moore stated in short, that he was
not an accountant, that he had no
knowledge of bookkeeping. He as
serted that Cashier w. Cooper Nor
ris of the bank had carried on tran
sactions without his knowledge, es-
ally in Golden Eagle department
store loans. He denied the testimony
of former Director E. E. Lyle rela-
tive to Moore's statements in connec-
ton with the Board of Trade build
ing and the purchase of the Pacific
& Eastern railroad. He denied that
he saw Minnie Mitchell, the COM
planning witness make the deposit
after banking hours on the day be-
fore the bank closed, and declared
that if the receiving. teller accepted
SUCH a deposit, the teller was without
authority.

Sponge Fishing Industry
Is Soon to Be No More

WASHINGTON, March 39-Unless
experiments in artificial propagation
now being made by the national bur
eau of fisheries proves successful, an
other of our ''inexhaustible resources"
will become all but dep,eted-the
sponge fisheries of the Florida coast
Those of the Mediterranean sea have
been worked almost to extinction, and
many of the sponge divers of that re-
gion have transferred their activities
to the Florida waters. There the
WantOn waste that has marked the
fisheries has been almost as reckless

sponge may be propagated artifically

Justly in abou- four years. The ether
method is to take the millions of tiny
eggs found in the sponges in autumn,
and to plant them where the chances
for growth are good. The latter meth
Cd, it is hoped by the propa gators, may
vet prove commercially feasible. If
so it will save the Florida spongs
fisheries.

Tells Life Story.

Moores story began with his birth
and told of his wanderings through
the west and Of his settling in East
ern Oregon. He told how he had ac-
cumulated a considerable fortune
there during his 80 years residence
in that part of the state, and then
came to his buying an interest in the
Oregon Trust & Savings bank Of this
city.
Moore. first took up the Board Of
Trade building loan. This, he said,
appeared to him to be a good loan.
He declared a prominent eastern in
surance company had expressed will.
lingness to loan 100000 on the prop
erty and pending the closing of this
loan, the bank advanced $4,000 on
the property. Moore said three days
after the bank closed, the acceptance
of the loan by the insurance company
was received in this city. Moore de-
that none of the bink's money had
been put in the building, on the con-
trary, he said, it was well understood
that it was to house the banks saw
ings department. So far as he could
remember he never had any converse
ton with Lytle regarding the build
ing.
Tells of Store Loans.
Regarding the Golden Eagle de-
partment store loans, Moore said that
when he bought an interest in the
bank. there was a $4,000 loan on the
banks books against the store. This
he said was unsecured. Upon mis- in
sistence that security be furnished,
the Golden Eagle and a Portland bust
ness man furnished security to the
amount of $4,000. The stores account
had to be watched continually, Moore
said as they were constantly over
drawing their account. Early in 1907
Morris, the cashier, went to San Fran
cisco.
During his absence Moore discov-
cred that the store had overdrawn to
the amount of $4,000. He called Gus
Lowitt, the stores manager, and told
him that the overdraft must be taken
up. This was done. August II, a
few days before the bank closed, the
bank refused to cash a check for the
store, at which time, one of the stock
holders in the store company COM
planned because he said the bank
owned majority of the stock of the
department stores company. Moore
also learned he said, that Cashier
Morris had taken over a block of
stock in the company in the hope of
saving to the bank. money loaned to
it. Moore said this was the first
thing he ever knew of the deal
This was not the biggest surprise,
Moore said, for a day or SO later, he
was shown a batch of uncancelled
notes for a large sum besides those
cancelled by the purchase of the block
of stock. Moore said this informa
ton knocked him completely off his
pins" He said he realized upon learn
ing the true state of affairs concern
ing the department. store, together
with the rapid depletion of the banks
money, that the bank was in critical
state, and told the directors that un-
less money could be borrowed, the
bank would have to close.
Regarding the Pacific and Eastern
railroad deal in Southern Oregon,
Moore testified that Lytle had never
telephoned to him concerning the pur-
chase of the road, nor warned him
against loaning money to it. He did
not know that Lyle had ever seen
the property until a week after the
purchase had been made.
