Peoples Home Savings Bank
Directors Are De-
nOunced.
THREATS OF SHOOTING MADE.
William Encke Wants to Get the
Directors Together and Fill
Them With Lad.

William Encke made highly incen-
diary speech last night at the meeting OF
the depositors of the Peoples Home Saw
ings Bank.
Several speakers had preceded him with
remarks as to the hopelessness of obtain
ing their money by legal means. and 9TH
ers had suggested that the Prosecuting At
torneys, Judges and others whom tney be-
lieved to have assisted the directors and
stockholders, should be boycotted at the
polls next fall.
Before the applause which greeted those
expr essions had subsidized Mr.. Encke, a
short, thickset NAH with broad accent.
arose and said:
I'VE can't get anything out of those
directors unless we take the law in our
own hands. The thing to do is to wait till
the directors are all together and then
give them some lead. If man tries to
break into my house and rob me have a
right to take my pistol and shoot him"
F. III. QuahIman, in the chair, said that
the deposi.ors had had three years in which
to do the cleaning out.
81 don't want any help" said Encke
cheerfully. AZ only want to know who the
directors are by sight and l will do the
rest"
I. H. Mccarthy expressed the hope that
the depositors would have patience and
wait until all legal means had been ex.
hausted. Then they could BILE 5000
or 5000 persons and march to the Mills
building and see whether they would get
justice.
Several others expressed similar opinions
to that of Mr.. Encke that force was the
alternative lett them. The speeches were
of the hottest kind and charged Directors
Freeman, Thornton. Phelps and TAYLOR
with standing in with the stockholders for
the purpose of cheating the depositors out
of their money. Judge Hebbard, District
Attorney Barnes and others were blamed
for leniency toward R. H. Mcdonald Jr.
1t was alleged that Prosecuting Attorney
Hinkle was incompetent and allowed the
defense to have their own way.
After violent preamble scoring Direc-
tors Phelps. Thornton, Freeman and Tav-
tor for removing Mr.. Flournoy from his
position as attorney of the bank, the fol
lowing resolutions were adopted:
Resolved, That If s. K. Thornton, w. II.

| honorable men they would not ignore the
petition Of nearly 1900 depositors and repre-
senting $1,000,0O0 in deposits when it was

Resolred, That we will await with patience

Miss Belinfante Makes Her
Debut at the Audi.
forum.
Warm Applause Given by a Critical
Audience Aria From
Carmen"

The audience which assem- led Thursday
night at the Auditorium to hear Signorina
Estrela Belinfante and Anton Schott, was
more enthusiastic than numerous. Among
those present were a number of Italian
and German residents.
The Signorina is a slim, graceful girl,
who looks almost too fragile to be the
possessor of such a big voice as she
possesses.
Her blindness is not very apparent, as
she has pretty dark eyes. which give no
outward indications OF her infirmity, but
she is evidently unable to see her way
about the platform, and as she INDUCES in
good deal of dramatic gesture, there were
moments when the people in the front
rows trem bled for fear she should take one
step too many forward.
John Marquardt. who PLAYED the violin
obligato to her first song watched her
with evident anxiety. but the young lady
was very sure of herself and managed to

Miss Belinfante's voice is of the mezzo-

her to sing such roles as Carmen Azu.

She has considerable power and a good
compass and some of her tones are excep.
tlonally sweet. rich and ringing. The
contralto tones of her chest register are
deep and full without being sepuchral,
though if she continues to bring this pro-
duction into her lower middle register she
will eventually imp pair her fine upper notes.
The young contralto sings equally we'll
in English and Italian, and her enuncia-
ton In both languages is remarkably clear
and good. She sang the ''L'amour c'est
un oiseau," from Carmen" in Italian
with chic and dash and aggressive impu-

heroine if she were not debarred from stage

Miss Belinfante's voice shows TO best
advantage in operate music. She gave an
interesting and dramatic rendering OF the
"Che FAro?" from Gluck's ''Orfeo," and
she preceded the aria by the beautiful
and difficult recitation, which is too often
omitted. Another of Miss Belinfante's
numbers was Papini's Elaine" and she

SEEING rs BELIEVING.
Gratifying Success of the Plan to In
troduce the Encyclopedia
Dictionary

Nearly q month ago the Pacific Coast
Newspaper Syndicate, controlling the
new Encyclopedia Dictionary, in order
to introduce the work, wisely deter
mined to distribute a considerable
number of sets at nominal price and
on easy terms. so that it might be
widely compared with other reference
works and favorable publicity be thereby
obtained.
Those that have thus received the work
are convinced that the claims made for it
have been fully justified. They have
found that it is a complete dictionary,
containing accurate information regarding
the origin, history, spelling, definition,
pronunciation and use OF every word in
prehensive encyclopedia in all branches of
knowledge; that it is dictionary of QUO
tations from the entire range of English
literature, and that it is a scientific diction-
airy, affording wide range OF information
on all technical subjects.
1t contains many new words not found
in any other dictionary, but which are, as
a matter of fact, the very ones regarding
which exact information is most necessary.
1t is a standard of reference in sch ools,
colleges, universities, and among LAWYERS,
physicians. scientists, literary men, bust
ness men and all classes to whom exact
and exhaustive information about words
and things is necessity.
All these points have naturally told
strongly in favor of the work. and it is,
therefore. small wonder that the supple
mental distribution, which began Monday
last and closes Saturday evening, should
have been so remarkably successful.
But the opportunity for securing set at
the extremely low Introductory price and
on the exceptionally easy terms of paw
ment will soon have passed, as Saturday
night. at 10 o'clock, is the hour fixed, and
after that the regular subscription price OF
from $42 to $40 per set, according to bind
ing, will prevail.

A COSTLY TALISMAN.
Van de We're, the Sorcerer, in Judge
Lows Court.

Professor Van de We're was again on
trial yesterday before Police Judge Low
on a charge of grand larceny, the details
of which have already been published.
Van de We're, the defendant, was in court,
of course, and at times broke into laughter
with the audience when the "rawness" of
his work was exposed.
Bell was on the stand during most of
the afternoon. He told the story of his
financial undoing from the time he paid
$25 for talisman, the intrinsic value of
which does not amount to % cents, to the
times he gave up from 500 to $375 to Van
de We're and Professor Eugene Oh their
claim that they would relieve him of al,
evil influences.
More testimony of this nature is to be
heard and, although it has, up to date,
been shown that Bell voluntarily parted
with his money, and that his testimony is
to the effect that the alleged clairvoyants
fulfilled all their promises, it is more than
likely Van de We're will be held over to be
tried by jury in the Superior Court.
