SAN FRANCISCO, December 81.
The Bank Commissioners and and
eel Of the commercial banks Of this city
held a conference to-day on the question
Of giving the Commissioners access to the
books OF the banks. The Commissioners
saw that Attorney General Hamilton has
given his verbal opinion to the effect that
they have q right to make an examination.
The banks expressed q willingness to abide
by a formal written decision from the At
torney General, but the Commissioner
would not accede to that proposition. 1t
is, therefore, probable that early next week
the Commissioners will make demand at
some bank selected by lot, and, on refusal,
will apply for an order Of the Court. Tie
banks signify q desire that such an order
may be sought from one Of the District
Courts, as they do not want to be taken
into the Police or City Criminal Court.
One hundred and ten deaths were re-
corded at the Health Office this week,
which is the largest weekly mortality this
year. The corresponding number last

average deaths for the corresponding
weeks tor the past i've years was 1903.
