NOT TO MEET YET. Scope of Judge HebbarcTs Injunction. DIRECTORS IN A QUANDARY. Opposition Committee Named by Depositors. FIVE RESIGNATIONS ARE READY. Shechan's Letter Results in the Ap- pointment of a Committee of investigation. nas and Shortrijge went -'-I at 4 o'clock iv the their promise;! motion to - the decree of injunction in the \u25a0 :. After some : lay had occurred owing to the nun-arrival of A torney-General Hart. Mr. Delmas explained the reason of bis motion. He spoke to a very small a-.idience, as besides the Judge and the oflicers of the court the only interested parties present were Attorneys W. 11. Hutton, Shortridge am] James Alva Watt Hart came in about an hour late and made up the Quintet. Mr. Delmas urged that it was entirely Wrong that the People's Rvjk directors should be placed in such an unfortunate po&Hion as they at present occupied. (Ju the one side were some ten thousand de- positors clamoring for their buried money and demanding the immediate resigna- tion of the board of directors; on the other side was the injuuclon restraining the directors from taking any sort of ac- tion, thereby precluding them from even loriuallv resiiinins:. It was ureed thai the directors were per- fectly willing to rise to the call of the pouple and resign their offices, but to do that it would be necessary to hold a meet- ing for that purpose, and as each director Bterjped out it would be necessary to ap- point his successor. .- Agaiu, Mr. Delmas claimed that the di- rector* were not proper parties '<> the suit instil by the Attorney-General in Hie name of the people. It was purely a Btatutory proceeding and concerned "tho bunk alone and its business, and there wan nothing which could possibly pre- veat a:.y director Mil throwing up his cfike when he go pleased. On these grounds, therefore, Mr. Delmas moved that the order o: injunction nrigi- nally granted against the People's i)d uk "be so modified as to allow the director:- to n*ld a meeting for the purpose of formally resigning and of electing their successors. A li? t of nan of probable successors, all of them exceptionally quod and true, Mr. Delnias he. it in his hand,' id it was hoped there would be no opposition to the modi- fication scheme! modestly presented. - Judge Hebbard asked Inr further ex- pression of feel ng upon the subject, and -Mr. Button rose to speak oi behalf of a large number of depositors. The motion of Air. Delmas had his hearty indorsement. as he personally knew that the resignation of the present board of directors was the one wish ever present in tho minds of the long-suiTering creditors. Both Attiruey-Gerieral Hart and James Aiva Watt were called upon, and at last -Mr. Watt responded. He said he person- ally had no objection to the directors being allowed to resign, but as attorney for the receiver be wished to offer an amendment, he depositors in a body should oe con- sulted on this proposed step. He under- wood that some names of future directors were being brought forward by other in- terested parties than Mr. Delmas, and while he agreed that there must be a change he thought that the depositors should be called together and asked to ex- press their decided opinion upon both Questions— that of resignation and that of succession. Ttie Attorney-General was beard to say ! that the affairs of the defunct bank should be wound up as cci nomicalJy as passible. He knew of some good men who Dad been proposed as successors to (he present directors, and he thought it best to get the depositors to me :;niJ agree upon the men they desired to fill each vacancy caused by each resignation. Judge Hebbard said: "I see now the rock upon which you split, anl with it the i"tint which ie going l i make most trouble if this rase gets as far a- the fcupremn Cburt. It is upon the power of the direct- ors to eiect their own successors. You are agreed that they may be peimitteu to lesion, but it is upon this election of suc- cessors that you disagree." Mr. Delmas rose to say a few words in reply, he sail a great many, lie said that for the Hi 9 time be had heard of some rival organization, some rival directors' ticket. yV hat did that mean? Was there s»rue ax to grind ? Was there some scheme •float whereby it was to be said to the director-, "You may resign if you please, but you shall appoint in your place the men whom we name"? This was not a scb?ine to put in men and their attorneys . to expect large lees and all together make capital out of the chauge. The idea was simply this: Angry credi- tors, depositors of tuts bank, had de- manded the resignation of the directors. Well, they were willing to resign, but they bay! the appointing of their successors. As matters stood under the present injunc- tion they were tied hand and foot, while indignant creditors went so far as to threaten them with personal violence if they did not do what the law actually for- bade them to do. Mr. liiitton cordially agreed with Mr. ltelmas in all that he said. Judge Hebbard then said that he had beard that the object for which this modi- fication of the injunction was asked for was that the charge* of fraud at present pending against the directors might be dropped a;;u the insolvency of the bank become the only question at issue. Mr. Delinas indignantly replied, "That is not bo, sir. These directors do not wish to resign. Bui they obey the voice of clamorous depositors, who insbt that they fchail. Their position would be more tnan comic if it were not at the same time so tragic. But if they are to be charged with endeavoring to escape the investigation of their alleged fraudulent acts they will positively refuse to resign." Attorney-General Hart said he did not oppose the resignation of the directors, but Judge 3lrbb;ird said that he intended to cci the opinions of as many deoositors as he could, lie did not recognize, offici- ally, any one present as representing a de- positor, therelore he could not tell what tne majority would desire. Under the cir- cumstances hu \u25a0 o aid not at present grant the modification of the injunction as -prayed for, bat would grant an order to show cause, if -0 desired. . Mt-:*-. De'raae, Shortridge and Hutton all snook then heads and said they'd let the matter drop. "We neither want nor ask for an order to show cause," said Mr Delmas. "We've done all we could. We are sick and tired of this whole business and, while we have acted for the best we give way. Our list of pro Dosed directors is one that contains none hut the most irreproachable name?. What could the people want better than that? Lt isn't easy to eel a eood man to accent such a thankless office as that of director <.[ the People's Bank. We shall ask for no order to show cause." The parties then left the courtroom and expressed their indignation outride. There is a movement on foot among the depositors of tlm People's Home Savings Bank to take the matter of securing names for a new directory for that institution out of the hands of the committee of seven. As stated in The Call yesterday morn- ing, there was a meeting of depositors on Thursday evening to take action in oppo- sition to the committee of seven. Asa re- suit of this meeting the following paper was circulated among the depositors lor signature yesterday: \u0084. ii,- S , AN F«A*fCisco, May 25, 1804.

When several hundred names have been added to the paper recommending: the ap- poiutment of Messrs. Stone, Knight, Fried rich, Clement and Goldtree as a committee to act for the depositors a mass- moeting will be called. In speaking of tins matter yesterday General Friedrich said : "1 have not S4OOO on deposit, but a smaller sum, but 1 repre- sent other deposits. I attended the first meeting of tho depositors on Mission street, but the proceedings were so turbu- lent that 1 did not care to po to a second Catherine. 1think the course pursued by Judge Ilebbard eminently a proper one. Ths appointment of Receiver Sheeban was tha correct thine to do. I have confidence in him and 1 hope that be will be retained and be permitted to close up the affairs of t li ** bank." K. 11. Knight declared that the inaugu- ration of the new movement was for the purpose of getting a better expression of opiuion from the conservative deposit- ory. He thought the depositors who at- tended the meetings recently held in B'nai B'ritb Hall were honest. Out he did not aj prove of the radical language used at such meetings. Receiver Sbeeban sent a communication to the depositors through its chairman for consideration at the meeting last night. It is as follows: . May 25, 1894. ling \u25a0\u25a0: 1 \u25a0«> I: i: fc—Sir: I re- gret exceedingly that any friction should bare leer appointed by the to take charge of the People's Home Bank ami the committee your body appointed to look after the mi - \u25a0; osit- ors [can safely say tiiat no one will asseit thai individuallyor collectively the committee i-ded every facility for cam- it tue bank which would eu- able it to make au honest, Intelligent report to .IV. Hy claim Is that such a report was not made by the committee on May 15. and lour members nittee have privately stated since then that they believed they bad made .imis- take, one (Mr. IIke) going so fa:- as to say tnai he never approved of certain portions ol the but was overruled. I call a Mr. Hut- ton's attention to the matte, and displayed pood pioof to sustain me. but be lias thus far failed lo make the correction. The committee, illy Mr. Elation, has been in frequent : with Ur. Llvernasb, attorney for K. H. McDona d Jr., and 1 have been Infotmed \u25a0 \u25a0 our committee that they ob- tained their Information from him or through nd«. It would appear that while I have b-'en at- tending to tbe buain* ss ol the baa : those who should be ni accord and xympatb) withmy work have devoted much of tl llsteu- i.'i h ' to ami conDiving with persons who disap- prove of u, e action or the court in saving what remains of ti e property t v aepositoi ». As to assertions Uiat nave been made re- garding Mr. Mutton's action I Dave only to say Hi t I have the proofs in writing sustained by affidavits of reputable men. 1 asked him to call a meeting ol his committee ;md stated (bat 1 was prepared to present my proof-) before that body or at the meeting of depositors. He has lined to accept my challenge. 1now it-new the offer and ask you to appoint a commit of three or live cool-headed men, who will hear both sides ot the controversy. as to insinuations covertly made they are absurd. It is well known that I have stated that this is not the time to dispose of properties of the bank, but that the managers should wait until the return of better limes, when with a live real estate mantel they could realize oa securities and make a good showing to de- positors. Inconclusion, let me say that I keenly sym- pathize with the depositors whose money Is lost or tied up. and my i-nort shall be as long .'.- I remain in charge of the affairs of the bank to see that every dollar and all pioperty of the bank is carefully en aided, in fact to carry out the instructions of his Houor Judge Hebbard, bo came to your rescue in the nick of time. 1 have discharged all clerical force excepUne the secretary and type-writist aud tho»e m charge of the safe deposit department, which is bringing in some revenue. Trusting that the affairs of the bank will soon be in such condition that the work of liquidation will go calmly on, 1 am, very truly yours, John F. She ehax, Iteceiver. The following communications were ad- dressed to Chairman Hutton of the de- positors' connni ttee of seven yesterday: Sax Francisco, May 25, 1804. To 11. W. Mutton. Chairman Committee of I)i ritora People's Home Savings Bank— Deak Siii: Amidst all the clamor for a change of management of the .People's Home Savings Hank Richard 11. McDonald Jr., vice-president and a director of that corporation, has by my advice remained, silent. Every day has brought a new ci c; i of cowardly lies concerning him, aud life has seemed too short for us to eu- avui to set even half the misrepresentations straight. Time and the law must be relied on to give the. gentleman, the vindication to which he is entitli'd. It appears expedient, however, to ask you to give Hie depositor* yon represent a fair state- ment ol Mr. McDonald's attitude toward them In the matter you ha\e la hand that ihe sius of Judge Hebbard, Oneial Sbeebao, Aitoruey Ua'i, 1 1. S. Dorn andotbrrs may oot be visited upoo blm. in this r> eaid 1 be« to remind you that lie Dad signed a resignation of his trust a* vice-presitieut and directoi of the TeopleS Uauk before you made any demand for it, and that i(n more than three weeks It bis been available. If your committee deems it croou policy, as it probably It. to pour liot sliot Into som- body's camp why hot turn your batteries on Judge Hebbard? Ho could break the deadlock at any moment by making li possible for slie di- tectois to accept Mr. McDonald'* resignation without cue appearance of contempt of court. You veiy well know that Mr. MacdonaM is not standing Id the way or a settl meniof the tiouble, and that lie Is not making any attempt to control the old &rd of director* or to ob- tain control of any board winch may be 111 successor. Why do) say so ami fix ihe respon- sibility where it belongs? Are you going to berale a man for not resigning when he Is will- ing to resign but is prevented flora resigning by a Judge who is hostile to him anu to his ! friends? If I observe a continuance of the disposition ' to saddle Mr.McDonald with blame which is j due to others I shnll feel it proper to advise that the resignation be withdrawn. To be threat- ened and abused for not acting wheu Inaction Is compulsory is getting Intolerable. Very re- spectfully. Ed. J. LIVEUXASH. To Mr. 11. W. Button, Chairman Committee ofDepositors of People' Home Savings Hank DeahSis: Lest my position In the matter of the People's Home Bank tangle may be mis- underaiood by the depositors on whose behalf you are acting, permit me to remind you that tor the last fortnight 1 have been not only Will- ing, but tuner to reslgu my directorship In favor of any body ol reputable gentlemen acceptable to the depositors of me ban* with wi.icii i liavf be- v Identified. I have no apolo- gies to make for any of my conduct In relation to the bauK, and wish it distinctly understood Unit my willingness to resign has ben due solely to a desire to avoid the appearance of obstinately antagonizing the wishes of the respectable number of depositors who have urged a change of management. Mv resigna- tion was placed in (be hands ot Mr. Ed J. Llvernasb two weeks ago without any condi- tions or limitations whatever. This resignation Mr. Livernasl) delivered to Messrs. D Unas & Bbortridge, attorneys for tie bank, with the understanding that It should be laid before the directors whenever Judge Hebbaid should have so far modified tils re.t< raining order as to per- mit the resignation to be accepted. 1 cannot mo (hat 1 can do auyiuice further to demonstrate my good faith In tilts Butter. That Hie leslL'uatiua has not long since be v acted upon is In no sense due to in-. Very respectfully, Okokoe P. Kiimv. It was announced at a meeting of the bank depositors held In Foresters' Hall last night i that the resignation of five di- rectors had been received, but as Judge Hebbard had refused to modify his restraining order the old directory was not permitted to meet and allow their resignations to be made effective. W. it. Hutton charged Receiver Sheehan with b iing the obstacle in the wav now. He announced that in spite of Judge Hen- bard's order be thought that Deimas and Sbortrldge would call the directory to- gether to-day and have their resignations made effective at the risk of being in con- tempt of court. Thomas Maiioney thought that ins rope was still needed, but the sense |of the meeting was very strongly against the use of incendiary language. M. Harris, referring 10 Ju^e Ilebbard. said: "If we should co tc the Union League Club we mould tiud him, Receiver bheehan and Attorney Watt together." This remark was called forth by a motion that the depositors wait on Judge Hebburd to ask him to modify his order. It was finally decided to attempt to get the signatures to a majority of the amounts deposited in the bant, and everybody present was appointed a committee of one to aid in getting these signature;', which will be presented to Judge Ilebbard with a request to modify his decree. It was re- quested that all the lists be handed in at tue oflice of Dr. M. H. Logan, 101 Grant avenue, before 5 o'clock on Tuesday after- noon. The letter cf Receiver Shee'.ian was read. 11. W. liutton, T. McCarty and 11. D. Pike deuoui.cpd his statements as untrue. It was finally decided to investi- gate the matter and the following were named as a committee of five on investiga- tion: T. S. Williams, Dr. D. McLean, A. J. McNicoll, Louis 11. Mooser aud li. L. Apple. The motions to dissolve numerous at- tachments against the Pacific Bank came un for argument yesterday morning before Judge Hebbard. The cases in question were those of Chapman, Maldonado, Hooper, Columbus Borax Company. Crane, Murphy, Cator, KHti:pp, National Mercantile Bank of Baltimore, Payne, Waldron, Pacific Mutual Life Insurance Company, Wilson, Schlegel, Fitch, Morin and Rlchsber against the Pacific Bank, and the Pacific Bank against Blair and Price. These attachments tie up some- thir.e like £40.000. Not many of the attorneys interested in the case were present. Accordingly, when certain arguments had been presented Jub^e liebbard called upon ex-Judge saw- yer to speak as amicui cur Jtult:'' !>a\vyer said that on and after the 23d of June last year the Pacific Bank was legally dead and that an attachment after that date could not hold. As to the money, it was desirable to free it from its present restraint, as much more good could be d no by banding it over to the bank man- agers for the benefit of tho depositors. It was believed that a fairly successful result would be arrived at in the winding up of tha affairs of the bank. Captain James M. McDonald, the president, had announced hi 3 intention of paving up bis pro rata share of the liabiliti«i for the benefit of the depositors and would give his check for the amount as soon as it could be determined. Judge biiwyer Siiitl that he had received word from Dr. McDonald in New York to a similar effect. 1 herb was every reason to suppose th.it the docior would follow Captain Jim'a example and pay his iliare of the losses. In the course of his argument ex-Judge Sawyer paid a pleasing tribute to Judge Hebbard lor the course he has pursued in all these bank difficulties, Mr. Sawyer said : "I'm glad that your Honor did what you did in this matter. I'm glad that you put the Bank Commissioners in power. You did well in tuat and by your action you have saved the assets of '.bo bank. "You have saved the assets, for if you had not put in the Bank Commissioners there would not have been a cent left for the .Sheriff or any of the creditor^. It was the most judicious act ever done by a court. Every depositor ought to be grate- ful and well eatUlied with your ruling in this matter, although the Supreme Court has to me extent set it aside. "1mean no flattery to the court, but I do love a jus: Judge. I do love a Judge that don't know the difference between men and corporations. When the bench is filled with such men then tue country is safe and the people saved. That is what wo ought to have. We want more of such Judge*. "Your Honor has preserved thn affairs of the bank and the moneys In it; and in proof of ihi9 I turn to the People's Home Savings Bank, which has been run by a rotten set of directors, men unfaithful to their trust, some of them where they oucbt to be, and perhaps more to follow." The motions to dissolve the attachments were ordered submitted. YACHTING JOTTINGS. Measurements of the Craft The Corinthians' Cruise. The yachts of tbe San Francisco Yacht Club will be measured to-morrow for the cnmiux re- gatta on June 3.

Scope of Judge HebbarcTsInjunction.

DIRECTORS IN A QUANDARY.

Opposition Committee Named byDepositors.

FIVE RESIGNATIONS ARE READY.

Shechan's Letter Results in the Ap-pointment of a Committee

of investigation.

nas and Shortrijge went•-'-I at 4 o'clock iv thetheir promise;! motion to-

the decree of injunction in the\u25a0 :.

After some : lay had occurred owing tothe nun-arrival of A torney-General Hart.Mr. Delmas explained the reason of bismotion. He spoke to a very smalla-.idience, as besides the Judge and theoflicers of the court the only interestedparties present were Attorneys W. 11.Hutton, Shortridge am] James AlvaWatt Hart came in about an hour lateand made up the Quintet.

Mr. Delmas urged that it was entirelyWrong that the People's Rvjk directorsshould be placed in such an unfortunatepo&Hion as they at present occupied. (Juthe one side were some ten thousand de-positors clamoring for their buried moneyand demanding the immediate resigna-tion of the board of directors; on theother side was the injuuclon restrainingthe directors from taking any sort of ac-tion, thereby precluding them from evenloriuallv resiiinins:.Itwas ureed thai the directors were per-

fectly willing to rise to the call of thepouple and resign their offices, but to dothat it would be necessary to hold a meet-ing for that purpose, and as each directorBterjped out itwould be necessary to ap-point his successor..- Agaiu, Mr. Delmas claimed that the di-rector* were not proper parties '<> the suitinstil by the Attorney-General in Hiename of the people. It was purely aBtatutory proceeding and concerned "thobunk alone and its business, and therewan nothing which could possibly pre-veat a:.y director Mil throwing up hiscfike when he go pleased.

On these grounds, therefore, Mr. Delmasmoved that the order o: injunction nrigi-nally granted against the People's i)duk"be so modified as to allow the director:- ton*ld a meeting for the purpose of formallyresigning and of electing their successors.A li? t of nan of probable successors, allof them exceptionally quod and true, Mr.Delnias he. it in his hand,' id it was hopedthere would be no opposition to the modi-fication scheme! modestly presented.

-Judge Hebbard asked Inr further ex-

pression of feel ng upon the subject, and-Mr. Button rose to speak oi behalf of alarge number of depositors. The motionof Air. Delmas had his hearty indorsement.as he personally knew that the resignationof the present board of directors was theone wish ever present in tho minds of thelong-suiTering creditors.

Both Attiruey-Gerieral Hart and JamesAivaWatt were called upon, and at last-Mr. Watt responded. He said he person-ally had no objection to the directors beingallowed to resign, but as attorney for thereceiver be wished to offer an amendment,

he depositors in a body should oe con-sulted on this proposed step. He under-wood that some names of future directorswere being brought forward by other in-terested parties than Mr. Delmas, andwhile he agreed that there must be achange he thought that the depositorsshould be called together and asked to ex-press their decided opinion upon bothQuestions— that of resignation and that ofsuccession.

Ttie Attorney-General was beard to say !that the affairs of the defunct bank shouldbe wound up as cci nomicalJy as passible.He knew of some good men who Dadbeen proposed as successors to (he presentdirectors, and he thought it best to get thedepositors to me :;niJ agree upon themen they desired to fill each vacancycaused by each resignation.

Judge Hebbard said: "I see now therock upon which you split, anl with it thei"tint which ie going limake most troubleif this rase gets as far a- the fcupremnCburt. Itis upon the power of the direct-ors to eiect their own successors. Youare agreed that they may be peimitteu tolesion, but it is upon this election of suc-cessors that you disagree."

Mr. Delmas rose to say a few words inreply, he sail a great many, lie saidthat for the Hi 9 time be had heard of somerival organization, some rival directors'ticket. yVhat did that mean? Was theres»rue ax to grind ? Was there some scheme•float whereby it was to be said to thedirector-, "You may resign if you please,but you shall appoint in your place themen whom we name"? This was not ascb?ine to put in men and their attorneys

. to expect large lees and all together makecapital out of the chauge.

The idea was simply this: Angry credi-tors, depositors of tuts bank, had de-manded the resignation of the directors.Well, they were willingto resign, but theybay! the appointing of their successors.As matters stood under the present injunc-tion they were tied hand and foot, whileindignant creditors went so far as tothreaten them with personal violence ifthey did not do what the law actually for-bade them to do.

Mr. liiitton cordially agreed with Mr.ltelmas in all that he said.

Judge Hebbard then said that he hadbeard that the object for which this modi-fication of the injunction was asked forwas that the charge* of fraud at presentpending against the directors might bedropped a;;u the insolvency of the bankbecome the only question at issue.

Mr. Delinas indignantly replied, "Thatis not bo, sir. These directors do not wishto resign. Bui they obey the voice ofclamorous depositors, who insbt that theyfchail. Their position would be more tnancomic if it were not at the same time sotragic. But if they are to be charged withendeavoring to escape the investigation oftheir alleged fraudulent acts they willpositively refuse to resign."

Attorney-General Hart said he did notoppose the resignation of the directors,but Judge 3lrbb;ird said that he intendedto cci the opinions of as many deoositorsas he could, lie did not recognize, offici-ally,any one present as representing a de-positor, therelore he could not tell whattne majority would desire. Under the cir-cumstances hu \u25a0 oaid not at present grantthe modification of the injunction as-prayed for, bat would grant an order toshow cause, if -0 desired.. Mt-:*-.De'raae, Shortridge and Huttonall snook then heads and said they'd letthe matter drop. "We neither want norask for an order to show cause," said MrDelmas. "We've done all we could. Weare sick and tired of this whole businessand, while we have acted for the best wegive way. Our list of proDosed directorsis one that contains none hut the mostirreproachable name?. What could thepeople want better than that? Lt isn'teasy to eel a eood man to accent such athankless office as that of director <.[ thePeople's Bank. We shall ask for no orderto show cause."

The parties then left the courtroom andexpressed their indignation outride.

There is a movement on foot among thedepositors of tlm People's Home SavingsBank to take the matter of securing namesfor a new directory for that institution outof the hands of the committee of seven.

As stated in The Call yesterday morn-ing, there was a meeting of depositors onThursday evening to take action in oppo-sition to the committee of seven. Asa re-

suit of this meeting the followingpaperwas circulated among the depositors lorsignature yesterday:\u0084. ii,-

When several hundred names have beenadded to the paper recommending: the ap-poiutment of Messrs. Stone, Knight,Fried rich, Clement and Goldtree as acommittee to act for the depositors a mass-moeting willbe called.

In speaking of tins matter yesterdayGeneral Friedrich said :"1have not S4OOOon deposit, but a smaller sum, but 1repre-sent other deposits. Iattended the firstmeeting of tho depositors on Missionstreet, but the proceedings were so turbu-lent that 1did not care to po to a secondCatherine. 1think the course pursued byJudge Ilebbard eminently a proper one.Ths appointment of Receiver Sheeban wastha correct thine to do. Ihave confidencein himand 1hope that be willbe retainedand be permitted to close up the affairs oftli** bank."

K. 11. Knight declared that the inaugu-ration of the new movement was for thepurpose of getting a better expression ofopiuion from the conservative deposit-ory. He thought the depositors who at-tended the meetings recently held in B'naiB'ritb Hall were honest. Out he did notajprove of the radical language used atsuch meetings.

Receiver Sbeeban sent a communicationto the depositors through its chairman forconsideration at the meeting last night. Itis as follows:

. May 25, 1894.ling \u25a0\u25a0: 1\u25a0«>

I:i:fc—Sir: Ire-gret exceedingly that any friction should bare

leer appointed by theto take charge of the People's Home

Bank ami the committee your bodyappointed to look after the mi -

\u25a0; osit-ors [can safely say tiiat no one will asseitthai individuallyor collectively the committee

i-ded every facility for cam-it tue bank which would eu-

able it to make au honest, Intelligent report to.IV.

Hy claim Is that such a report was not madeby the committee on May 15. and lour members

nittee have privately stated sincethen that they believed they bad made .imis-take, one (Mr. IIke) going so fa:- as to say tnaihe never approved of certain portions ol the

but was overruled. Icall a Mr. Hut-ton's attention to the matte, and displayedpood pioof to sustain me. but be lias thus farfailed lo make the correction. The committee,

illy Mr. Elation, has been in frequent:with Ur. Llvernasb, attorney for

K. H. McDona d Jr., and 1 have been Infotmed\u25a0 \u25a0 our committee that they ob-

tained their Information from him or throughnd«.

It would appear that while Ihave b-'en at-tending to tbe buain* ss ol the baa :those whoshould be ni accord and xympatb) withmywork have devoted much of tl llsteu-i.'ih' to ami conDiving with persons who disap-

prove of u,e action or the court in saving whatremains of ti e property tv aepositoi ».

As to assertions Uiat nave been made re-garding Mr. Mutton's action IDave only to sayHi t Ihave the proofs in writing sustained byaffidavits of reputable men. 1 asked him tocall a meeting olhis committee ;md stated (bat1 was prepared to present my proof-) beforethat body or at the meeting of depositors. Hehas lined to accept my challenge.

1now it-new the offer and ask you to appointa commit of three or live cool-headed men,who willhear both sides ot the controversy.

as to insinuations covertly made they areabsurd. It is well known thatIhave statedthat this is not the time to dispose of propertiesof the bank, but that the managers should waituntil the return of better limes, when with alive real estate mantel they could realize oasecurities and make a good showing to de-positors.

Inconclusion, let me say that Ikeenly sym-pathize with the depositors whose money Islost or tied up. and my i-nort shall be as long.'.-Iremain in charge of the affairs of the bankto see that every dollar and all pioperty of thebank is carefully enaided, in fact to carry outthe instructions of his Houor Judge Hebbard,

bo came to your rescue in the nick of time.1have discharged all clerical force excepUne

the secretary and type-writist aud tho»e mcharge of the safe deposit department, which isbringing in some revenue.

Trusting that the affairs of the bank willsoon be in such condition that the work ofliquidation will go calmly on, 1 am, very trulyyours, John F. She ehax,Iteceiver.

The following communications were ad-dressed to Chairman Hutton of the de-positors' connni ttee of seven yesterday:

Sax Francisco, May 25, 1804.To 11. W. Mutton. Chairman Committee of

I)i ritora People's Home Savings Bank—Deak Siii: Amidst all the clamor for a changeof management of the .People's Home SavingsHank Richard 11. McDonald Jr., vice-presidentand a director of that corporation, has by myadvice remained, silent. Every day has broughta new ci c;i of cowardly lies concerning him,aud life has seemed too short for us to eu-

avui to set even half the misrepresentationsstraight. Time and the law must be relied onto give the. gentleman, the vindication to whichhe is entitli'd.

It appears expedient, however, to ask you togive Hie depositor* yon represent a fair state-ment ol Mr. McDonald's attitude toward themIn the matter you ha\e la hand that ihe sius ofJudge Hebbard, Oneial Sbeebao, AitorueyUa'i, 11. S. Dorn andotbrrs may oot be visitedupoo blm. in this r> eaid 1 be« to remind youthat lie Dad signed a resignation of his trusta*vice-presitieut and directoi of the TeopleSUauk before you made any demand for it, andthat i(n more than three weeks It bis beenavailable.Ifyour committee deems it croou policy, as it

probably It.to pour liot sliot Intosom- body'scamp why hot turn your batteries onJudgeHebbard? Ho could break the deadlock atany moment by making lipossible for slie di-tectois to accept Mr. McDonald'* resignationwithout cue appearance of contempt of court.

You veiy well know that Mr.MacdonaM isnot standing Id the way or a settl meniof thetiouble, and that lie Is not making any attemptto control the old &rd of director* or toob-tain control of any board winch may be 111successor. Why do) say so ami fix ihe respon-sibility where it belongs? Are you going toberale a man for not resigning when he Is will-ing to resign but is prevented flora resigning bya Judge who is hostile to him anu to his !friends?IfIobserve a continuance of the disposition

'to saddle Mr.McDonald with blame which is j

due to others Ishnll feel it proper to advise thatthe resignation be withdrawn. To be threat-ened and abused for not acting wheu InactionIs compulsory is getting Intolerable. Very re-spectfully. Ed. J. LIVEUXASH.

To Mr.11. W. Button, Chairman CommitteeofDepositors ofPeople' Home Savings Hank

—DeahSis: Lest my position In the matter ofthe People's Home Bank tangle may be mis-underaiood by the depositors on whose behalfyou are acting, permit me to remind you thattor the last fortnight 1have been not only Will-ing, but tuner to reslgu my directorship Infavor of any body ol reputable gentlemenacceptable to the depositors of me ban* withwi.iciiiliavfbe- v Identified. Ihave no apolo-gies to make for any of myconduct In relationto the bauK, and wish it distinctly understoodUnit my willingness to resign has ben duesolely to a desire to avoid the appearance ofobstinately antagonizing the wishes of therespectable number of depositors who haveurged a change of management. Mv resigna-tion was placed in (be hands ot Mr. Ed J.Llvernasb two weeks ago without any condi-tions or limitations whatever. This resignationMr. Livernasl) delivered to Messrs. D Unas &Bbortridge, attorneys for tie bank, with theunderstanding that It should be laid before thedirectors whenever Judge Hebbaid should haveso far modified tils re.t< raining order as to per-mit the resignation to be accepted.

1 cannot mo (hat 1 can do auyiuice further todemonstrate my good faith In tilts Butter.That Hie leslL'uatiua has not long since be vacted upon is In no sense due to in-. Veryrespectfully, Okokoe P. Kiimv.Itwas announced at a meeting of the

bank depositors held In Foresters' Halllast nighti that the resignation of five di-rectors had been received, but as JudgeHebbard had refused to modify hisrestraining order the old directory wasnot permitted to meet and allow theirresignations to be made effective. W. it.Hutton charged Receiver Sheehan withb iing the obstacle in the wav now. Heannounced that in spite of Judge Hen-bard's order be thought that Deimas andSbortrldge would call the directory to-gether to-day and have their resignationsmade effective at the risk of being incon-tempt of court.

Thomas Maiioney thought that ins ropewas still needed, but the sense |of themeeting was very strongly against theuse of incendiary language.

M. Harris, referring 10 Ju^e Ilebbard.said: "If we should co tc the UnionLeague Club we mould tiud him, Receiverbheehan and Attorney Watt together."

This remark was called forth by amotion that the depositors wait on JudgeHebburd to ask him to modify his order.Itwas finallydecided to attempt to get

the signatures to amajority of the amountsdeposited in the bant, and everybodypresent was appointed a committee of oneto aid in getting these signature;', whichwillbe presented to Judge Ilebbard with arequest to modify his decree. It was re-quested that all the lists be handed in attue oflice of Dr. M.H. Logan, 101 Grantavenue, before 5 o'clock on Tuesday after-noon.

The letter cf Receiver Shee'.ian wasread. 11. W. liutton, T. McCarty and 11.D. Pike deuoui.cpd his statements asuntrue. Itwas finally decided to investi-gate the matter and the following werenamed as a committee of five on investiga-tion: T. S. Williams, Dr. D. McLean, A.J. McNicoll, Louis 11. Mooser aud li. L.Apple.

The motions to dissolve numerous at-tachments against the Pacific Bank cameun for argument yesterday morning beforeJudge Hebbard. The cases in questionwere those of Chapman, Maldonado,Hooper, Columbus Borax Company.Crane, Murphy, Cator, KHti:pp, NationalMercantile Bank of Baltimore, Payne,Waldron, Pacific Mutual Life InsuranceCompany, Wilson, Schlegel, Fitch, Morinand Rlchsber against the Pacific Bank,and the Pacific Bank against Blair andPrice. These attachments tie up some-thir.e like £40.000.

Not many of the attorneys interested inthe case were present. Accordingly, whencertain arguments had been presentedJub^e liebbard called upon ex-Judge saw-yer to speak as amicui cur

Jtult:'' !>a\vyer said that on and after the23d of June last year the Pacific Bank waslegally dead and that an attachment afterthat date could not hold. As to the money,it was desirable to free it from its presentrestraint, as much more good could bed no by banding it over to the bank man-agers for the benefit of tho depositors.It was believed that a fairly successful

result would be arrived at in the windingup of tha affairs of the bank. CaptainJames M. McDonald, the president, hadannounced hi3intention of paving up bispro rata share of the liabiliti«i for thebenefit of the depositors and would givehis check for the amount as soon as itcould be determined.

Judge biiwyer Siiitl that he had receivedword from Dr. McDonald in New York toa similar effect. 1herb was every reasonto suppose th.it the docior would followCaptain Jim'a example and pay his iliareof the losses.

In the course of his argument ex-JudgeSawyer paid a pleasing tribute to JudgeHebbard lor the course he has pursued inall these bank difficulties, Mr. Sawyersaid : "I'm glad that your Honor did whatyou did in this matter. I'm glad that youput the Bank Commissioners in power.Youdid well in tuat and by your actionyou have saved the assets of '.bo bank.

"You have saved the assets, for if youhad not put in the Bank Commissionersthere would not have been a cent left forthe .Sheriff or any of the creditor^. Itwasthe most judicious act ever done by acourt. Every depositor ought to be grate-ful and well eatUlied with your ruling inthis matter, although the Supreme Courthas to me extent set it aside.

"1mean no flattery to the court, but Ido love a jus: Judge. Ido love a Judgethat don't know the difference betweenmen and corporations. When the benchis filled with such men then tue country issafe and the people saved. That is whatwo ought to have. We want more of suchJudge*.

"Your Honor has preserved thn affairsof the bank and the moneys In it;and inproof of ihi9Iturn to the People's HomeSavings Bank, which has been run by arotten set of directors, men unfaithful totheir trust, some of them where theyoucbt to be, and perhaps more to follow."

The motions to dissolve the attachmentswere ordered submitted.
