|. 0. RALSTON SCORED
BY JUSTICE M'BR|DE
IN BANKING CASE
History of Bank Is One Of
Fraud and Deception From
Start Says Court

In an expose of what is characterized
as "rotten" banking the supreme court
today modified the decision of Judge
R. G. Morrow in the case of s. G.. Sar-
gent, as superintendent of banks,
against the American Bank and Trust
company of Portland, and l.. o. Ralston
The modification reduced the personal
judgment against Ralston from $34 200
and interest amounting in all to about
$4,000 to $24, 200 and interest amount
ing to about $4,000. The bank was
capitalized at $150,000 and after OPP
Grating for some time and accepting
deposits it appears that Ralston, who
was president, sold out the bank stock
for shares in shoestring" corpora
tions, and then attempted to absolve
himself from responsibility and to save
his private fortune.
The state bank examiner brought the
action in the interests of the depostors
of the bank who were defrauded of
their funds when the bank was declared
insolvent.
In his opinion Justice Mcbride says
in part
"The history of this bank from the
beginning is record of deception,
fraud, and mismanagement Publishing
to the world by its articles that it had
a capital stock of $1j0000, an examina-
tiOn of the testimony shows that such
capital was represented by $4,000 of
the assets of an insolvent "tincun"
bank Of small value something which
is termed "Mount Hood' stock, pre.
sumably a paper railroad of less value,
n little office furniture, a few other
"chips and whetstones" of like char.
acter, and very few thousand dollars
IN real money beguiled from the poct
cts of men like Letter and Connell who
were deceived into believing that thev
were investing in q real hank and we're
now awake to the actual facts poorer in
noqket, but immensely richer in exper.
ience.
"The decree of the court below will
be modified so that the nlaintiff receive
of defendant Ralston the sum of $24-
200 with interest at six per cent per
annum from Nav 2, 1908. and the costs
and disbursements of this court and
the circuit court -

Norfalk, Va, Feb. 1.-The most dar-
ing feat on the high seas during the
present war was revealed today when
the big African liner Appam sped into
Hampton Roads in charge of a prize
crew. Given up as having foundered
in a terrible storm in the Mediterranean
two weeks ago or as having been tor
pedoed as she was heading from Africa
for Liverpool the big liner put into
port in the dawn today with her 166
passengers and crew of 1874 safe.
Her sudden appearance here like
wrath from the deep showed she had
been captured by a German merchan'
raider. This crew, probably aided )
German prisoners aboard headed her
about through the neavy seas. raced
across the Atlantic .eluding British war
ships patrolling off the American coast
and put into port under light fog.
The incident is unparalleled in its
daring and its execution.
The prize crew also added TO the
exploit the remarkable feat of cap
turing at least two vessels en- route here.
Customs Collector Hamilton found the
Germans had armed the Appam as q
commerce raider thus accomplishing
this sensational finale to an already
stirring adventure.

New York, Feb 1.-The general and
vigorous recovery on the stock ex-
change today was not in response to any
particular turns in news developments,
but it illustrated well the recent char
acter of the market. In fact, the days
news had little or no influence.
Changes at the opening were unim-
portant except in few Industrial is
sues which were bid up violently for
the apparent purpose of attracting out
side speculative interests. Some Of these
went higher afterward, but most of
them went lower. Railway shares, and
stocks like steel, though not changed
much at the opening advancing one Ia
two points and lost less Of their ad-
vance in the closing hour than did the
speculative stocks.

DRILL HOLES THROUGH ICE
Seals Necessity of Obtaining Air in
Winter Calls for Tedious and
Constant Labor.

1t is probable that not one person in
a thousand knows how the seal of the
far North gets air when the Arctic
ocean is entirely covered with many
feet of ice.
The small, spotted seal, which is a
hair seal, and not fur-bearer, is the
hardy dweller Of the northern waters.
Under his tough, thick skin he has an
inch or more of blubber. When the
ice closes up the open water in the
Arctic, the seal selects a spot and be-
gins to drill hole to the surface by
pressing his warm nose against the
ice. Nobody knows how many hours
1t takes him to accomplish his task,
but he manages it; and although he is
obliged to work most OF the time, be-
cause the surface Of the hole is con-
tinually freezing, he keeps it open all
winter, and obtains air.
Seals have been known to drill in
this manner through so feet of solid
ice. Whether or not they take turns
in the slow drilling is not positively
known.
1t is at these "seal holes" that the
polar bear seeks food in the winter,
and there the Eskimo waits, spear in
hand, for his weekly supply of meat.
