mind" At least that is what his relatives
gave out. He only gave up one vice to
begin practicing another, however, and the
last state of the man was worse than the
first. He took to the use of opium.
A few weeks aeo he made the acouaint-
ance of Emma Phillips, whose home is in
Fruiro, Glenn County. For some time
past she has been helping in the household
OF Of11cer John Mullen, at Redwood court
OH Howard street, near Sixteenth. How
the two came to know each other nobody
seems to know, but last week Emma asked
and received 81 and permission To visit her
friends IN the country. Instead, she went
to Oakland on Friday night with Zignego,
and finally showed up at the Stockton
steamer yesterday afternoon.
The couple was pacing up and down the
bulkhead between Clay and Washington
street wharves when Sergeant Mahoney
first noticed them. He did not like the
look OF the man and proceeded to accost
him.
Zignego told one story and Miss Phillips
told another, SO the sergeant took them to
the Harbor Police Station. While Miss
Phillips does not look to be more than 15
she swore to Captain Dunleavy that she
was 10. The latter did not believe her,
however, and sent a messenger out to see
Officer M ullen. During the absence of the
messenger TIE girl SdlQ tnat Sne ana
Zignego were to have been married in
Oakland on Friday, but that they could
not get license. She paid 81 for room
yesterday morning. They started for
Stockton, where Zigneeo said they would
have no difficulty in getting married
Abont this time the officer returned
from seeing Officer Mullen and reported
that Zignego was no good and that his in
tention was to put the girl in house of
ill-fame. He asked that she be sent back
to his home and Officer Mackey was de-
tailed to escort her there. Zignego was
held, pending further investigation.
Had it not been for the foresight OF Ser
geant Mahoney the chances are that the
couple would now be on their way to
Stockton and the girls ruin would have
been com mpleted

WILL SUE FOR THE STOCK
Trust Company Takes Up the
Fight for Peoples Bank
Depositors.
WHY FLOURNOY WAS DEP0sED
President Stone Is a Stockholder and
Does Not Like to Be
Sud-
WHY FL0URN0Y WAS DEPosED

Gunnison, Booth & Bartnett, attorneys
for the California Safe Deposit and Trust
Company, which represents the majority
of the unfortunate Peoples Home Bank
depositors. are preparing briefs for suit
against the banks directors and expect to
file the papers this week. 1t is under
stood that this suit will be one of the most
interesting and sensational of the many
legal conflicts over the settlement of the
banks affairs.
Mr.. Bartnett, who has charge of the
case, stated yesterday that the real issue
was whether the unpaid capital stock of
the defunct savings institution would have
to be paid.
1--WE are taking prompt measures" he
said, 'to protect the depositors and they
may rest assured we are not negecting
their interests; but there is so much
crookedness in the workings of the bank
it is almost impossible to find out what
has been done.
"The matter that is of most Importance
at present is the payment of two-thirds of
the capital stock-that is, two-thirds OF
million dollars. Of course there is much
of that amount that cannot be collected,
as the stock is held by irresponsible par
ties. but quite large share OF the stock is
held by wealthy men. They should be
made to pay the balance of their stock,
and they are legally responsible. They
assumed the responsibilities of stockhold-
ers, and now are evading payment of their
share.
"This question is of far more Importance
than the Sherman matter. The directors
of the bank don't wait to collect the bal
ance of the stock. John Flournoy, as an
attorney of the bank, endeavored to col
lect it by legal process, and he was dis
missed.
Colonel Stone, president of the board of
directors, is stockholder so you can see
why the board did not wish to collect the
stock. He owns something like 100 shares,
SO his portion would be conside ra BILE.
''Then there are men on the board who
never had a 81 interest in the bank. S. K.
Thornton, for instance. What business
has he on that board? He does not own
dollars worth of stock and has no interest
anywhere in the Peoples Home Bank.
And there is Taylor, member of the pa
per firm. Why should he be director2
He does not own any stock, nor has he
any interest in the bank. If matters were
allowed to go on as they have been going
in the management of the bank the de-
positors would get nothing"

ALONG THE WATER FRONT.
Wells, Fargo & Go. Must Now Pay Rent for
Their Ferry Offices,

iuoil oifJ Vmoos'
The Harbor Commissioners held short
session yesterday. They leave for Niles
this morning to examine the quarry, and
simply met to pass the bills. Commits
sioner Cole expressed himself in favor of
the Colusa stone, but the other members
of the board thought it better TO visit
Niles before arriving at decision. The
stone for the ferry depot will not be
required for some time, and as the Stone
cutters Union has written the board
stating It's members would handle any
stone selected by the board there is no
need for haste.

pound. The plans and specifications have
been approved by the commission and
bids will be called for this week.
President Colnon introduced resolu-
tion to the effect that Wells, Fargo & Co
be charged $75 month for the space it
occupies, commencing with May l. In
support of the motion he pointed out that
every transportation company on the
front was paying rent except the one in
question. missioner Cole was op-
posed to the motion and demanded roll
call. Colnon ana Chadbourne voted aye
and Cole did not vote at all, so the motion
was carried and Wells. Fargo & Co. will in
future have to pay $75 month rental.
The British snip Cawdor, now at Mis-
sion-street wharf, will probably have to
go on the drydock for repairs. She has
been leaking considerably, and diver
went down yesterday to see what was the
matter, but failed to locate it. A rivet has
probably started and a few hours work
may repair the damage.
The steamer Kahului sailed for the Ha-
waiian Islands yesterday with over 1000
tons of general merchandise aboard and

The gold fever seems to have come to
stay. Every vessel that sails for Alaska
is crowded with miners, and others are
rushing over each other in their eagerness
to get accommodation on the vessels "up

get to their destination because of lack of
means does not seem to deter any one.
Returned travellers say that Sltka and
Juneau are crowded with men who can
neither get accommodations nor work, and
that huts have been built on the beach to
accommodate those who have no means Of
livelihood. This seems TO have no effect
on those who have made up their minds
to go, and the rush continues.
