SAN Francisco, April 1.-THE Examiner
suggests a. . possible solution of the vexed

called from Japan, discharged and asked
for the payment Of $500 in which he was
derelict to the firm. Under pressure he
paid 1t and again sailed for Japan about
February Is.
The Examiner now says that information
has been received that Flood had pre-
scented in Japan letter of credit for f20,-

himself in Yokohama

which was his position. Three weeks ago he
announced that he had bought an interest
for his two sons in Chester Cleary & Co.'s
large dry goods concern of Seattle. Taking
these alleged facts In connection with the
ex-cashier's statement that the men to
whom he paid the money are out of the
state, the Examiner thinks this is q possi-
BILE clue as to its disposition.
