will be obviated. The harbor district now
is bounded by the bay and Third street.

BANKERS ARE GRATEFUL.
Alfred P. Blac,-'s Prosecution of For
gers Becker and Creegan Is
ApDreciated

Alfred P. Black, Republican nominee
for District Attorney, won the gratI-
tude and esteem of business men
throughout the country when he Sc
cured the sending of Charles Becker,
the prince of forgers," to the State
prison. Becker is the remarkable for
ger who raised a Woodland bank draft
from s12 to s22,OOO and Becker's pal,
James Creegan, got the money at a
bank in this city. SO cleverly was the
forgery done that even after it was
known to be spurious none could de-
tect the forgery without a magnifying
glass. Mr.. Black considered such a
man as Becker extremely dangerous to
be at large and followed him relenr-
lessly until he cut away every posi-
BILE defense. Then Becker pleaded
guilty and was sent to the State prison,
where he is serving out his sentence
Creegan is also in the State prison.
Bankers and business men realize that
Alfred P. Black is the right man for
District Attorney, and accordingly they
will give him their support.

Motion to Dismiss Him From Custody
Entertained bv Judge Cook.

In all probability DR.. c. c. J. Wachen-
dorf, charged with the murder of John
Kehlenbeck, will be dismissed from Gus
tody by Judge Cook to-day and the jury
impaneled by him be discharged.

enbeck's death. J. n. E. Wilson made
a motion to dismiss the prisoner on the
ground that the corpus deficit" had not

grant the motion, but allowed the
prosecution until this morning to pre-
sent a statement of proofs against
the defendant and upon the filing Of this
statement Judge Cook will pass judgment.
If, in the opinion OF the court, the state
ment does not show sufficient cause for
continuing the trial the prisoner Will be
