ALMOST READY. Fourtesn Battleships Are Already Assembled In Hampton Roads For Lone Cruise to the Pacific. Admiral Evans Assumes Command —Will Start on Time. Old Point Comfort, Va., Dec. 9.—The double-starred blue flag, emblamatlc of the ronimandtr-in-chief of the Pacific bound fleet was flung to the breeze from the main truck of the battleship Conmectlcut today, and Rear Admiral Rotley D. Evans, formally assumed hie position as leader of the greatest naval movement In the history of the American people. This was assembly day for the fleet, which Is to set sail next Monday, and of the 16 great fighting machines or dered to skirt the southern end of the Americas and to begin a new naval era In the Pacific ocean there were two laggards. These were the 10,000-ton Minnesota, flagship of Rear Admiral C. M. Thomas, commander of the second squadron of the fleet, and the Ken tucky, whose 11,320 tons relegate her to the end of the column. The Ken tucky is also the oldest vessel among the 16, having been laid down with her sister ship, the Kearsarge. in 1898. at the beginning of the war with Spain. The Minnesota and the Kentucky arc both expected to anchor in Hampton Roads tomorrow and then the historic fleet will be complete. The new Maine, which two short years ago was the flagship of the commander-in-chlef, but Is now in 11th place In the list, came In today, making 14 battleships at anchor off here. The ships are disposed in two long lines leading in a crescent which be gins Just off the Old Point pier and points toward Norfolk. The Connecti cut, which lies scarcely more than a stone's throw from the pier, heads the column nearest shore. Next to her is her sister ship the Louisiana, the cham pion fast tiring vessel of her class and then In turn the Kansas and the Ver mont. all registering 16,000 tons and bo|ted with steel that is rated well nigh impregnable. These four vessels com l«ise the first division of the first squad ron of the fleet and are the personal charges of Rear Admiral Evans. The second division In the first squad ron Is made up of the Georgia, Vir ginia. New Jersey and Rhode Island. The flag of Rear Admiral William H. Emery, in command of the division, floats from the Georgia’s truck. It also bears two stars, but, in distinction from that of the cotnmander-in-chief. It has a red field. It is the flag of all three rear admirals who have command of the divisions under Admiral Evans. The Georgia. Virginia. New Jersey and Rhode Island are all of a type, have a displacement of nearly 13,000 tons each, and combined have the tremendous driving force of 19,000 horsepower. They have all exceeded 19 knots, a speed at tained by few of the heavily armored vessels of the world. Roth absentees front the fleet today were in the second squadron column. Awaiting the Minnesota in the second squadron are the Maine, Ohio and the Missouri, of the third division of the fleet, and In the fourth division are the Ala bama. flagship of Hear Admiral Sperry, the Illinois and the Kearsarge. The Ken tucky will complete this division and the squadron when she arrives from Boston. The two long lines of battleships. Tanked on eittier side by vessels of the auxiliary fleet, present a novel picture and add one more impressive naval event to the history of Virginia's far famed roadstead. Crowds of sightseers from ail parts of the country are assembled here to witness the final preparation and the departure of the fleet The families of most of the officers are also among the visitors and the week is to be crowded with social events of both forma! and in formal character, the principal function to be a naval and military ball the even ing of Friday, the 13th. Admiral Evans arrived this morning from Washington, accompanied by (’apt. Ingersoll, l;ls chief of staff, and Lieuten ant Commander Chandler, Ills flag secre tary. The collier Abarenda lias sailed, preceding the fleet south with coal. There were scenes of much activity about the fleet today in the matter of final preparations of the ships for tlie start on Dec 16 for the Pacific. The crews of many of the battleships were engaged in filling the bunkers of tnelr vessels with "picked" coal while others were loading supplemental magazine stores sent from the St. Juliens maga zine here, those including hundreds of tons of projectiles and other explosives not taken on at tile naval stations at which the vessels were fitted out. WIRELESS 'PHONES USEFUL. Thair Efficiency Proved by the Tor pedo Boat Destroyers. Washington. Dec. 9.—On tlie way out of Norfolk on their cruise to the Pa cific an opportunity was given to the vessels of the torpedo boat destroyer flotilla to demonstrate the usefulness of the wireless telephone with which they are equipped. Messages subse quently verified were exchanged for a distance of more than 13 miles. AH of the 16 battleships about to sail will have wireless telephones. Last Battleship Leaves New York. New York. Dec. 9—The last of the battleships which have been here fit ting out for the cruise to the Pacific, left port today when the Minnesota, flying the tlag of Hear Admiral Thom as. commander of the third division of the Atlantic squadron, and under com mand of Captain John Hubbard, sailed for Hampton Roads An extensive wireless telegraph svsten has been erected by the United Frull Company on Its fruit steamers and a numerous points on the Oulf of Mexlcc and the Caribbean sea. for communica tion between the offices, steamers transit, and Its plantations i-i Centn America and the West Indies. A statior was recently added at San Antonio VS the extreme western end of Cuba. PILES CURED IN 6 TO 14 DAYS. PASO OINTMENT ts guaranteed to cur. D. Anthem—“Abide With Me." Lorenz Sermon, Rev. Wm. H. Gould. Portland Mr. Gould’s subject- "The Function of the Church in Prescnt-D.iy Life." The text was found in St. Matthew xxivilS. "Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.” Mr. Oould said in part: The prophecy of the text was literally fulfilled. Heaven anu earth as the con temporaries of Jesus understood and used the term did pass away That which rep resented the order, stability, the joys and the hopes of life was destroyed—not ono stone was left on top of another, but the word of Jesus for personal and social righteousness, the word of Jesus for a genuine, vital faith and trust in God. the wise, good loving Father, the word of Jesus for the Golden Buie, for the love of the brotherhood, for social service— the words of Jesus did not pass away. There have been many and vast changes of material, political, social conditions, of philosophical conception and ideals, of theological opinions and beliefs, but tlie words of Jesus Christ persist with won derful power and influence. They have been preserved and are to be preserved and perpetuated by the Christian Church which is the living monument of him who lived and uied that the world might be liaved. The function of the church in present day life is lo represent the great uni versal reality of the Christ ideal. It is tlie business of the church to stand for righteousness. II is the business of tin: church to stand for the living tuilti in God. It is the high ailing and privilege of the Christian minister to bear disciplined, consecrated, loving witness to the eter nal words of Jesus Christ. It is the true minister's joy to conse crate himself and whatever talent he may have of experience and culture, of faith, hope and l ive to tilt service of the whole community Hymn No. H'!'.

(Continued from Page One.) water reaches the low levels of the city and afternoon before the high places get any supply The city water boat brought a sup ply across the harbor for tlie St. John Railway Co., which does the city light ing ami tlie city was saved from total darkness, as the street arc lamps were operated. Extra police were sworn in and the salvage corps of the lire de partment were on patrol duty. The great danger was lire and three alarms were sounded, each ope caus ing consternation. One was a false alarm, another a small residence lire and the third caused about $1000 dam age in Miss Campbell’s millinery store on Main street. Prompt use of the chemical engine here saved big proper ly loss, as the store is in a nest of wooden buildings. It will be Wednesday or Thursday before normal conditions obtain here, but the worst is now regarded as over. GARDINER IN NEW ARMORY. Go. A, 2d. Reg., Has First Drill Since the Muster. The Boys Much Pleased With Fine New Quarters. It Proves Admirably Adapted For Needs of the Company. Company A, 2d Regiment, N. (J. S. M., held its first drill since muster last evening in the remodeled armory at the corner ot Bridge street and Highland avenue. Practically the entire com pany was present and the men went through the maneuvers in excellent shape. The new drill hall was used and proved admirably adapted to the needs of the company. The repairs upon the building, which have been made during the summer cost *1200, one-half of this sum being appropriated by the city of Gardiner and the other half being the gift of Frank E. Boston, who has taken a great interest in the work of Co. A. A hard wood floor has been laid in the drill hall on the second floor and the entire hall sheathed and painted and new windows put in. The hall is 35x70 and affords an excellent surface for dancing as well as for drill purposes and the company will probably, hold souip dances in the drill hall later in the season. A steam heating plant lias been in stalled in the basement, which is en tirely adequate for heating the build ing in the coldest weather. The first floor has been divided into several dif ferent rooms for the use of the com pany. To the right of tile main en trance of the armory is the headquar ters of the commissioned officers, Capt. John J. McKenna, First Lieutenant Charles A. Hodgdon and Second Lieu tenant Harold K. Peacock. Next be yond is tlie headquarters of the non commissioned officers, while on the op posite side of the building are the stock lockers and the assembly room. On the third lloor is an indoor 50-feet rifle range, which the men will use to keep in practice with their target shoot ing during tho winter. In their prac tice they use the regular Krag-Jorgen sen rifle with chamber tilled for a 22 long cartridge. While tlie boys of Company A are well pleased with what tias been done for them by the city and Mr. Boston they are not contented to rest here, but will do some things themselves in tlie way of adding to the appearance of the armory. They are now planning to raise funds for the raising of tlie floor in the assembly room and a num ber of other improvements are also contemplated by them. The company now numbers 4t> men and several more are to be mustered in before the end of the year. Calvin Boston Command Election. Calvin Boston Command.

England, the Irish-English team, in relieving each other collided and both were so pain fully injured they were unable to con tinue.

Downey of Bos ton, suddenly withdrew from the race e.t 9.30 A. M.. wiien he had completed 1S7 miles and one lap. He declared that he had a lame arm and shoulder and that he should be in a hospital In stead of racing. Manager Patrick Pow ers denied this and accused Walthour of "quitting.” Dr. Kramer, the physi cian at the track, said that Walthour was in as good condition as any of the men on the track. Walt hour's retire ment did not disqualify his partner, who had until 1.30 P. M.. today to se cure another partner and if successful will suffer the loss of only one lap from the leaders. At 1 P.

Outlook For Basketball is Very Good— The Schedule. Orono, Me.. Dec 9—(Special).—The basketball squad Is rapidly rounding into shape. Although the team has lost Sto bie and Stewart, both strong men on the ’Varsity last year, there are many out who can easily till their positions. No man except Captain Black is sure of a position on the team this year and with the number of equally strong players out for each position, the season will be well advanced before the members of the 'Var sity will be chosen. The scrub team is almost the equal of the 'Varsity, and in the 15-minute game with which (lie daily practice is ended the scrubs always give the 'Varsity men a hard, close game Manager Emery has arranged the fol lowing schedule: Jan. 3—Guilford High at Orono Jan. 10—Maine Central Institute at Orono.

Dec. 9.—'There lias never been so successful a football season from the financial viewpoint as that of 1907. livery football game of import ance that has been played ill this sec tion of the country this fall has brought a demand for tickets greater than the supply, and the associations have wept and wrung their hands as thev thought of what greater accom modations for spectators would have brought into the cash boxes. The attendance at the big games lias been unprecedented this year, and the only explanation that can be given is that the new style football has “caught on with a vengeance, and that at last the majority of the spectators can wit ness a game with understanding, due to. the open play that prevails. What ever the cause, though, the fact re mains that the six greater games of the vear, those of Yale-Princeton. Yale-Harvard, Harvard-Carlisle, Penn sylvani i-C'ornell. Army-Navy and Chicago-Carlisle. will probably call for a total of $300,000 in admissions. With smaller contests scattered through the season, each one of them attracting a fair-sized crowd to the various foot ball arenas, it can be seen easily that an e mrmous sum of money has slipped into the c feet 1 inches in height.

The bout will take place in the base ball park at night, which will be tinn ed into a huge circus arena l*y a big t• -tit to lie erected which will encircle the grandstand.

Address ail communications relating to subscriptions and advertisements to BURLEIGH FX.TNT, Publishers, Augusta, Maine. Tuesday, December 10, 1907. YVha? are so rare as such days in B>pcf*inber? Mr. Chanter's presidential boom is still lost in the fog. One thing is certain. Old Santa Claus is no nature fake. Business continues to improve all over tie- country. This is the day for Boston to follow the good example of Portland. I* is to be hoped that King Gustave V of Sweden will not be called Gussie by his subjects. The indecent postal card will have to go. It should never have been al lowed to come. It is said that Mr. Bryan plans to re main at home during the next Presi dential election. That is where the voters will leave him. Tin- "night riders" who are terroriz ing a section of Kentucky are as bad an advertisement for the state as its mountain feuds. '.Vlanv women are heeding tie* injunc tion to do their Christinas shopping early who will not do any Christmas buying tint il the "4th. Probably the American lmn felt like taking a vacation for the winter when she read that tier products this year are valued at $l»00,000,00rt. Reports from Blackwell's Island state that Abe Hummel complains of being a sick man. Honest industry is certain ly a very radical change for him. “The dawn if the new era of pros perity is here.” says Mr. Harriman, and Hi growing volume of business throughout the country bears rut the statement. Tim Christmas shopping lias started in very favorably. Kvidently the pub lic is coming more and more to appre ci ite the importance .of early purchas iiieago gets the next Republican National Convention, and will en deavor to sustain her reputation as convention eitv. Certainly no eitv Is better equipped to entertain such gatherings. Mr. Bryan's spwhps are all of the vole begging order, hut «lo not appear to he making: a very favorable impres sion with tile public. The Nebraska leader appears to regard himself as already as good as nominated. Says the Boston Herald: "It is Sena tor l-’rye, president pro tempore of the S-iiate, again. This is the renewed reward of being the best presiding oliieer !n that liody, Vice-President I aireanks not excepted." The tii w king id’ Sweden. King Gus tave V. is 4!) years of age and has had considerable valuable experience in state affairs during the illness of his father. He is a giant in statue like his father, and has some good sense, ability and democratic ways which made Oscar II rank ns one of the greatest and most popular monarch of the age. It develops that Congressman Kdwards of Georgia, age 2N. is not after all the youngest number the KOtli Con gress. as stated in Washington dis patehes. The youngest member is Congressman Wolf of Maryland who is only 1’T. It is an interesting coinci deneo that the oldest member as well as the youngest hails front the little stale of Maryland, the oldest being Si nator Whyte who is s:! or over half n century older than Mr. Wolf. The sending of national troops to .ar ago there was such a force with a total i iTeetive strength of lP.i! officers aad men. hut it somehow lias disap pear’d since that time, leaving the state without any local military body at its command, and dependent on federal troops for the maintenance of order. Of course there is a popular disposition to laugh at a state which has maintained such a tiny force, but Nevada with a population estimated ai (in.noo could not be expected to dc much better. Indeed, she was undei no necessity to apoligize, when Dela ware, with three times her population bad fewer than 400 militiamen. It many of the smaller states the militia k so weak as to be unable to cope witl any disturbance that carries with i large popular sympathy. To stimu late the expansion of the nationa guard is one of the purposes of th Hick law, but since it requires onl one hundred organized militiamen fo every congressional district. Nevad; having but one representative, migh maintain a skeleton ftwee and live up t its requirements.

The Crops of Kansas. Agriculture Commissioner Coburn of I Kansas, the man who lias the distinc tion of having declined an election to !the United States Senate because he preferred to remain at the head of the department of agriculture in the great state which he loves, is telling the world some great things about the 1907 crops of Kansas. There is nothing the matter with Kansas these limes except that it is getting so fat on continued prosperity that it is bursting oiT all its buttons. It is flowing with milk and honey to such an extent that it is in danger of getting drowned in the lacteal fluid and smothered in the sweetness. No echo of the Wall street panic is heard in Kansas where the happy and contented Jayhawker is lifting up ills voice in great and abundant gladness. The Kansas City Journal has an ab stract of Commissioner Coburn's report for the present year. WTe are told that there is a net increase ol' $19,492,1198 in the value of the present year's argicul tural products over 1906, which, up to that time, was the high water mark. The products of Kansas farms during the year 1907 aggregated ihe stupendous sum of $l*).1.648,6oo, or $.29.212,739 in ex cess of the best year the state had ever had. According to Mr. Coburn's esti mate, the increase in population of the state during the past ten years has been about 20 per cert, but the increase in the value of agricultural products is nearly 99 per cent. To put it in a still more striking light, the value of Kansas farm products and live stock apportion ed equally among her inhabitants would make a credit for each of $280. What does this $289 mean to the peo ple of Kansas? It means that every boy and girl within tlie state can go to school or college. It nrans that the family consisting of father, mother and three children has $1,409 to show for the summers work It means tlial young men tan buy farms ami that older men can add to their profitalth acres whicl will increase their annual revenues from now on. It means that there are luxuries this year in Kansas that were never known before; thal wives and mothers will have many comforts anti luxuries they have not Heretofore had. It means new paint am new furniture, more Itooks ami tele phones, more newspapers and pianos No wonder, then, that a great note o! cheer comes fr*m Kansas and that the Jayhawker lilts up his voice in gladness It is Kansas's time p, make a loud noise Death in the Mines. It has been a bail year for disaster? in tlie coal mining regions. Blit thr-.i every year has a grim record of dis asters there, and the yearly total of miners who are hilled by explosion or cave-in, or who are burned alive to dir a most terrible death after an eternity of agony, is something appalling. In the West Virginia mines alone during 1 ‘>07 there have been six explosions which have killed from 12 to 500 men each, and in the mines of Pennsylvania there have been an equal number of disasters with a loss of life of ovei 200. The recent awful explosion a l the Monogah, West Virginia, mines b the worse for a long time, and yet tht world reads the headlines in the news papers and goes on its way with scan thought for the half thousand pool foreigners who have been sacrifled it; one item in the cost of the country'; industrial supremacy. as in in*- causes tor mine explosions tlie.se are monotonously similar. A one time it is the carelessness of i miner, who bears an uncovered ligh into some pocket of the mine when lurk deadly gases; at another it is tin explosion of firedamp, seemingly tin preventible; still again it is a dust ex plosion, as may have been the case it the present instance. All the forms o mine accidents show that they win operate where the combustible gase: are liberated, by the piek that unloose! the coal, take their lives in their hanas I Tile miner's lump has done much fm ihe underworld worker, ltut still tin dread harvest of death is reaped hi hundreds and thousands. The douhh mine explosion ought to bring abou -an investigation of mining method: and appliances so as to eliminate pos j sible recurrence of such wholesale l'a talities. Many arc coming to believ. that only when the government shal appoint a commission upon safety ap pliances which mine operators will hose schools are located in Philadelphia. Mil neapolis.

Only two weeks left for the Christ mas [dans and the Christmas shop ping The return engagement which the In dian summer has been playing will make the winter seem shorter. Thin ice accidents are reported from all parts ot the State, and no warnings avail to keep tiie boys away from tile danger. It seems to bo the general belief that Shiloh is in lor hardship and trouble tins winter. The signs of famine and dissent ion are numerous. WJven the steamers Dominion and Corinthian sailed from Portland Satur dav afternoon they carried the largest number of passengers ever leaving that port on one day. Nearly a thousand were taken by both ships, the steam er Dominion of the Dominion iine had 25 first cabin passengers, 100 second class and 620 steerage passengers. J’he Corinthian of the Allan line which sailed for Glasgow at 2 o’clock car ried .10 second cabin passengers and 150 steerage passengers. Atd'urn has two Congregational clergymen who were born in foreign lands, ffcv. Herbert Pekin Woodin who inis jn«t accepted a call to the High Strei t church was born in Pekin, Cnina, where his parents were mission aries and is said to have boon the lirst American child liorn in the Chinese capital, hence his middle name. ftov. Mr. Taisne of the Sixth Street Congre gational church. Auburn, was born in Paris, France. Do not think there is anything re markable in this weatlit r. A Hidde foril man recalls that in the winter of 1842 there was no snow until March. A terrific snowstorm of two or three days’ duration then eatue and this in turn was followed by pouring rain x'.him caused the biggest freshet ever known on the Saco. George Griffin of I.incoln Centre holds flic belt ns the champion bear hunter of that vicinity. Mr. Griffin re cently shot two large bears near Mat tamiseontis mountain in one day and they are now hanging in his barn with two big bucks and a curiosity in the shape of a white hedgehog to keep theta company. This makes Mr. Grif fin’s third bear this season. The fact that lie went after bear makes his suc cess more noteworthy. Both were good sized specimens and in prime condition. The new city clerk of Portland. A. L. T. Cummings, is one of Maine’s best konwn and tiest liked newspaper men. Everybody in western Maine knows “Abe” Cummings—bis whole name is Abraham Eineoln Thatcher Cummings —and it is inconceivable that anybody ever knew him except to like him. His first xvork was in his native city of Biddeford and for a number of years lie was editor of the Biddeford Daily Times, now out of existence, and did 1 the Boston Herald and Associated Press xvork for that city and section. For the past decade he has been lo cated in Portland and has devoted his time to the Boston Herald work for western Maine. He is one of the best newspaper men that ever did business i in Maine. About a dozen years ago be bad a little political experience by serving on the Biddeford Board of Al ilar i vi n n o The Maine newspaper world extends its sympathy to Liston P. Evans, edi tor of the Piscataquis Observer who ha® been having serious difficulty with a small cancer near the eye. It be came necessary to remove the eye. the operation being performed by Dr. Hall of Dover and Dr. Plough of Bangor at a private hospital in Bangor. Mr Evans is recovering as rapdlv as can be i expected considering the serious nature of the operation. Eight barges of 1100 to 1.°.00 tons, and one steamer, have been transferred by the Routed Steel Barge Co. to the j White Oak Transportation Co., a Maine corporation of which H. C. Buzzell of Searsport is clerk, and are now regis tered at tlie Belfast custom house and 1 hail from Searsport. The steamer is i the Bay View, and the barges are the Bn ravin. Baroness, Britannia. Bombay, Badger, Bay State and Buckskin. The barges and steamer will no doubt be 1 employed in bringing coal to Mack’s Point. I j Mary Agnes Tincker, who died re j rently in Dorchester. Mass., was a na tive of Maine, the daughter of the late Hon. Richard Tincker and Mehitnbel (Jellison) Tincker and was widely known for her literary work. Miss Tincker was educated in the public 1 schools of Ellsworth and in the acad i emy at Bluehill. As early as thirteen years of age she began to teach, later becoming a teacher in a Catholic i parochial school.

Congratulations to the Republicans of Portland, who have turned the Demo cratic plurality of i!83 of a year ago, in to a glorious Republican victory this year by 1131 plurality. We have to confess our astonishment at the splen did achievement—not that yve had light faith in the earnestness of Portland Republicans, but tve got more or less tilled up with Argus claims, and while we discounted those claims as usual by a tremendous margin, yet they wer so cock-sure, and so more than usually sweeping, that we got more or less loaded up with the idea that the result was at least in doubt. Rut Portland is a Republican city, a fact that again stands (remonstrated, and with this splendid redemption from Democratic control it leads in the great march of loyal Republicans who next year are going to sweep the Democrats into the sea. The last State election marked the high tide ot Democracy in Maine. Steadily the tide is now receding. The Republicans of the State rejoice with their fellow Republicans ot Portland in this tremendous victory and promise to do things equally us fine so soon as the opportunity is given them. A Great Legal Reform. (Fortland Sunday Times There died in Bar.goi the other day one of the most remarkable men the State of Maine has produced; remarkable for length of years—he v.as !i5—for learning in the law, which he had practiced for T? of those years, and most of all for the almost revolutionary and in all respects bent Mcent criminal law reform of which he was the author. This man was Albert W. Paine. The prac tice of allowing an accused person to testify in his own behalf is now so usual itnd such a matter of course that it seems incredible that no longer ago than the time of the American Civil War it was unheard of. Mr. Paine originated the idea and agitat ed it until it was accepted and in corporated into the Maine statutes in 1.XG4. I.ater it was adopted by other states and was gradually taken up by foreign countries, until now it is tin practice in all parts of the civil ize,) world. 'file story of the genesis of the idea is interesting. it seems that when a boy on his father’s farm in Winslow Mr. Paine was deeply imp;*ssed by the case of another lad in the neighborhood, ac cused of stealing a poekotbook, con victed and sent to State prison for a term. The pocket hook with con tents intact was afterwards found where the farmer had dropped it in j climbing the fence. But the mischief had been done. Tin* boy’s life was I ruined, lie lost spirit and ambition, I went into a decline and died. The thought gradually took form in Mr. j Paine’s mind that if Ihe accused had I been allowed to take the stand he might have been able to make state ment0 anil explanations that would have modified the case. Tile awful miscarriage of justice weighed upon I him, and at length he evolved the j principle of the bill ami hud it intro I dttced in the Legislature. It was received at first with ridicule. An ac cused person, they said, would of course deny guilt under any circum stances. Of what use tlcm to allow hint to deny it under oath? It was urged that the only result would be i to add to the difficulty of prosecuting j criminal cases. But the hill kepit go I ing ’rack to the Legislature, and at last it was enacted in a few hut preg nant words. j The law giving to ihe accused in criminal cases the right to testify in their own behalf is the enduring I monument to Albert Ware Paine. The Folly of the Verdant Sentinel. (Portland Express.) The Waterville Stntinel is unwise. At least, if it is not unwise it is very bold, and more confident of absolute success in its new State printing ven ture than it would seem to tie justi fied in being from the experience of those older in the printing and news paper business than is the Sentinel. It is destined to become experienced, be cause it is on its feet to stay “till rt. Siie.it I'mv Viikirvllil/ W ""am '1.11 tines. Nail,Wwtuu, Kreiliirm II. Hark bant, I'.euel .1 ViVk' i,' iTauh W.

Depositors of Bank Will Sue to Re cover $9,000(000. Pan ^ranciseo, Doc. 9.—Daviil F. Walk#, president of ti.e California Saflfe-i Trust Co., was found speeding south on a Southern Pacific train hist night when ho was supposed to lie tit his San -Mateo home, lie was placed under arrest and taken front the train at Santa Barbara on instructions of Assistant District Attorney Francis J. Reney. Shortly after the arrest of Bankers Brown and Barnett last night, detec tives wefe hurried to San Mateo to keep David F. Walker, president of the bank, under surveillance, but finding la* had already left his home, trailed him down to Santa Barbara, where lie was hold by the police authorities. Though no warrant had been sworn out for Walker, it was thought best to keep hint in' sight. The detectives on reaching Kan Mateo, surrounded the house, where he was supposed to be ly ing ill. but heard that a man answer ing Walker’s description had boon seen hoarding a train for the South. A hasty investigation proved that their man had down but word was sent down the line, and the police of Santa Barbara took him in charge. Honey telegraphed that Walker be held. Through the activity of the deposi tors committee of the defunct Califor nia Safe Deposit Trust Co., the de velopments were made possible in a few hours after the real work of crim inal prosecution began. 1 he committee determined on Satur day to proceed immediately with an in vestigation of the affairs of the Fill more street branch of the California Safe Depi sit Trust Co., looking to ward the arrest of tlie officers for em bezzlement. Thereupon Gustave Che casuss, accountant of the Fillmore street branch, was examined at con sioerable length and his examination continued vesterday. The testimony of Teller Gabbs of the same branch was taken and the com mittee brought to light a startling sc ries of reckless transactions which the attorneys brand as misdemeanors. According to a statement issued last night by the committee and the attor neys. the officers of the hank took prac tically all the money deposited at the Fiilmore street branch and loaned it tn stockholders in large sums, to them selves and to mythical companies. It was intended to cause the arrest of the officials for these acts, but upon advice of Francis J. Heney, the minoi charges were dropped for that of fel ony embezzlement in connection with the misappropriation of the funds oi the Go]ton estate. As a result of the committee's work J. Dalzell Brown was arrested Iasi night, a warrant was issued for the ar rest of Walter J. Barnett on a chargf of felony embezzlement and a detective was dispatched to San Mateo to thy this state ment of a very’ intelligent and critica lisiener: “I call Mr. liofstead a ven clear, concise and enthusiastic speaker; man who is so thoroughly imbued witl the spirit of bis work that he can arous61,7r.u and that $!dix.
