W. a. BooLE & SON.
Leading Shipwright Firm Of the

Among the shipwright firms whose OPP
erations in the past quarter Of century

building, constructing some of the largest
ships and four-masted schooners on the
coast.
In 1892 his former partner retired and
was succeeded by W. A. Boole Jr. 1t was
not until the early part OF the present
year that the firm name was changed TO

is a valuable ally 10 his father. the result
being a careful administration OF the
firms affairs. BY hard work and care

A SOUND INSTITUTION.
The Bank of California One of the
Leading Financial Concerns
of the Pacific Coast.

The Bank OF California. one OF the
strongest financial concerns in the United
States. was Incorporated in April. 1864.
by D. o. Mills and William c. Ralston,
with a capital stock OF S3,0O0.0OO. Two
years later the stock was increased TO
$4,000 900, but IN 1851, owing TO unfavorable
legislation, II was reduced TO the original
figures. at which IL stands to-day.
The history of the bank from its incor-
poration TO its suspension in August, 1873,
is one OF romance and pathos In the eX-
citing days of the Comstock, the bank did
not scruple 10 lend as high as $500 on
shares of Comstock stock. The reaction
which inevitably succeeds imitation re-
suited in disaster, but forty days after
closing its doors the bank met every OBJ

resigned his office in April. 1873, and
was succeeded by William Alvord, who
has since that time ably conducted the
affairs Of the institution

ence, and TO his conservatism and sound
business sense the success OF the bank in
the past twenty years has been princi-
pally due. Thomas Brown, who is asso-
ciated with him as cashier, Is regarded
as being an authority on finance IN this
State. He has been connected with the

RIPARIAN RIGHTS.
Important Opinion by Judge Of the
Circuit Court.

ST. LOUIS, Dec. 16-Judge E. B. Adams
has handed down an opinion from the
bench OF the United States Circuit Court
in which he establishes the important
precedent that questions involving the
ownerships of accretions to property along
navigable rivers are matters for the Fed
eral courts 10 consider. In the course Of
his decision Judge Adams says:
II have found many cases announcing
the general doctrine that local laws must
determine the riparian rights OF owners.
but subject in all cases to primary right
OF the United States in navigable waters

II is no disgrace to work for a living
but the living some men get for their
work is disgraceful.

PLANS FOR HALE,s RELEASE.
A Hearing 10 he Had Before Justice
Cole Tomorrow.

Considerable interest has been manifest
ed during the last few days in the case of
Charles B. Hale, who was committed to
jail by Justice Bradley for contempt OF
court on June Is last. 1t was rumored at
the City Hall yesterday that the friends
of the prisoner intended instituting pro-
ceedings under habeas corpus for his re-
lease No one could be found, however,
to authenticate the report However this
may be, it was definitely stated that the
matter is coming up for investigation to-
morrow before Justice Cole, sitting in
Probate Court.
Hale was ordered committed TO jail be-
cause of his refusal to answer the rule OF
court requiring him to make a report of
his stewardship of the estate OF his ward,
Josephine NJ. Cooper On June Josephine
Cooper, through her attorney, Edward G.
Niles, filed petition, asking that Hale be
removed as her guardian. 1t was stated in
the petition that part of the estate OF Miss
Cooper consisted OF $500 collected from
the Prudential Insurance Company, $500
from the Pennsylvania Relief Association,
and 81 200 from the Brotherhood OF Rail
road Trainmen, OF which organization her
father was a member. He was insured for
these amounts in the companies named at
the time of his death. 1t was also said
tndt RudTQldls tldits nhu never 8tpOA y
ed to mis- ward or to her friends the collec-
ton of the last two amounts named. In
the mean time, however, it was supposed
by Miss Cooper that the aggregate amount,
s., 200, had been deposited in the Washing
ton Loan and Trust Company.
II is also stated in the petition that Miss
Coopers suspicion as to the management
of her interest by Hale was aroused from
various circumstances which came within
her notice, one Of which was that, although
he was out of employment, Hale present
ed his wife with a pair of elegant diamond
earrings. After the filing of this petition
| Hale was called on for an accounting,
which. IL is said, was so unsatisfactory as
to result In his arrest and commitment to
| iail, where he has been confined ever since.
Connected with the Brotherhood of Rail-
way Trainmen is ladies' auxiliary, the
members of which are greatly interested
in the result of the coming investigation
concerning Hale's management of the
| Cooper estate One of the ladies of the
auxiliary visited the City Hall yesterday
| for the purpose of learning definitely when
the matter would come up for a hearing.
| as IL is the desire, the visitor stated, of
| the members of the auxiliary TO be pres
ent. Hale was a very active member of
the Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen,
and for this reason was chosen the guard
ian for Miss Cooper. Mrs. Hale is is also
said, was president of the ladies' auxiliary,
but she has not attended any OF It's meet
ings since the arrest of her husband.

TWO ELECTRICAL EXECUTIONS
Oscar Il. Rice and John Kennedy
Put TO Death at Auburn.

Auburn, N. Y, Aug. Oscar E. Rice,
white, who murdered his wife in Westfield
Chautauqua county, on March 25, 1898, and
John Kennedy, negro. who killed John
Hummings in Buffalo on October 9. 1898.
were put to death by electricity in Auburn
prison soon after o'clock this morning.
Both men were executed within twenty
minutes.
The executions were devoid of incident.
The men were of different physical quali-
ties. Rice, puny man, was supported to
the chair in what looked like a dying con-
dition. Kennedy, who sitting in his cell
had heard the guards come for Rice and
had waited for them to carry out the dead
body and come for him, walked into the
room without assistance, kissed the cruci-
fix, and handed it back to the priest, and
sat down in the chair without assistance.
In the case of Rice ], $50 volts of electricity
were used in the first shock. This was
continued with a reduced current for fifty
one seconds, and then he was pronounced
dead. The witnesses, who were only to
see one execution, left the death house and
ten minutes afterward the new witnesses
had been seated and Kennedy was brought
in. The current was turned into his body
and after sixty seconds of contact the ply
sicians declared him dead.
Among those who witnessed the execu-
tions were Gen. B. f. Bridges and Dr. ]. l.
Mclaughlin, of the Massachusetts, State
prison, and DR.. B. Howard, of New York,
who invented the so called long drop"
for hanging. now in use in England.

ASKS FOR JURY TRIAL.
Fourteen Druggists Arraigned in
Police Court.

District Chemist Hird was the complain
ant in the Police Court yesterday against
fourteen prominent local druggists, who
were charged with selling drugs not up to
the standard of strength required by law.
The charges were preferred after a care
ful investigation by Mr.. Hird, which was
the result OF the receipt OF numerous COM
plants fro various persons regarding GER
tain prepared or patent medicines which
Il was alleged lacked strength. II was
claimed that while the drugs were properly
compounded by the manufacturers, the
druggists handling them bought them in
such large quantities that they were unable
10 dispose of them before they became
stale. 1t was also claimed that the drug
gists are supposed to know the ingredients
of these preparations. and they are assumed
to know the contents of the bottles, and
should. according to the District Chemist,
know that the medicines contained therein
are subject to atmospheric conditions
which cause changes and evaporation.
Samples of such medicines were obtained
from the different druggists. and upon be-
ing analyzed, il is said, failed TO show the
required strength. This resulted in the
issuing of the warrants for the arrest of
the druggists, whose names follow: Patrick
Fitzgerald. Waddie z. Lynham, Charles S.
Price. Guy NJ. Nicely, James A. Butler, T.
l.. Hoyle, Roath Abel. Theodore G. De
Moll, Theodore A. 7. Judd, James A. CIar-
idge, Francis Petrola, Eugene c. Winter,
August C. Taylor, and Victor H Eisenbeiss.
Through their attorneys the druggists
asked for a jury trial and were released on
s. collateral for their appearance in court
when notified.
