BIG ASSESSMENT
LEVIED ON STOCK.
THE REALTY SYNDICATE WILL
STRENGTHEN ITSELF.
The New Law Pla ces 1t Under the Super
vision of the State Bank
Commission.


Oakland Office San Francisco Call.
9OS Broadway, March 25th
The Realty Syndicate has created
some surprise by assessing it's stock
$40 share, which is really fully paid
up to the extent of it's issue The syn
dicate held a meeting to-day and de-
cided on the assessment Although
capitalized for $5,OOO,OOO only LOO
shares ait 500 apiece have been issued
The assessment will produce $34O,OOO
The Realty Syndicate is in the nature
of banking business. 1t controls the
street railroads of this city and has
enormous holdings of land. For the
past two years it has been taking small
investments and guaranteeing payment
of e per cent. to the investors. A little
circular printed on the blocks of tick
cts sold by the street railroad companies
outlines the benefits to be derived from
this system. Hundreds of small in
vestors took advantage of the oppor-
tunity to obtain the high rate of in
terest offered.
The late Legislature passed a law
which has for it's object the placing of
inv vestment companies such as the
Realty Syndicate under the supervision
of the Bank Commission. This will ne
cessitate the periodical supervision of
the condition of the syndicate's funds
by the Bank Commissioners and the
directors to-day stated that they well
coined the change
The directors declare that the $780,
900 is to be used for paying off floating
indebtedness and to otherwise improve
the financial standing of the big COR.
poration. This assessment will not af-
feet the holders of certificates of in
vestment, which have been issued to
small investors to the extent of about
81 100000, but will have the effect of
improving the security. The holders
of investment certificates live all over
the world, as they have been sold in
the Hawaiian Islands and the East for
the purpose of bringing money here to
invest in Oakland.
The syndicate is anxious to establish
its proposed ferry from Emeryville to
San Francisco, but at to-day's meeting
1t was stated that there is nothing new
in the proposition, although all the
schemes of the corporation are being
gradually developed

THE WHEAT CROP OUTLOOK

The federal crop report concerning
wheat, is distinctly unfavorable. 1t
shows a reduction of SO per cent in the
average condition of winter wheat as
compared with that of a month ago;
and the present average of 67.3 is %. 5
per cent lower than that reported a
year ago. The area planted to winter
wheat last fall was 90. $50 900 acres; but
this was subsequently reduced over A.
100000 acres. and the area under culti-
walton a month ago was 25,900,000
acres. The present condition figures
apply to the reduced area The latter
however, Is stin slightly in excess Of
that from which the 1898 crop of $780,
900, coo bushels was harvested.
The June report also shows a de-
crease of % per cent in the seeded
area of spring wheat (Which last year
was 1S310.43O acres), and an average
condition of ola, against 1908 a year
ago The crop data of the department
relate to conditions at the close of
May. and the lower average then noted
for spring wheat was the result of pre-
viOus backward weather and late seed
ing The effects of these drawbacks
have been overcome, in part at least,
by more favorable weather since June
!. 1t is not reasonable to anticipate a
production of spring wheat as large as
that of last year. and the yield of fall
sown wheat will probably be at least
a fourth less than the crop of 1895
The government acreage and codi-
ton figures are accompanied by no
forecast of the yield in bushels; but
they do not suggest possibilities for an
aggregate crop of winter and spring
wheat much If any over $50 600, 900
bushels. The crop last season was
675,eO0.00 900 bushels; and a decrease of
not more than 125. 200, 900 bushels
would be an important factor in shap-
ing future prices. The carried-over
supply of wheat will probably approx
mate 100,000000 bushels; so that with
the indicated product the country
would have total supply of $50 900, 900
bushels for food, seed, export and re-
serve.

AGAINST H. CLAY EVANS.
Republican Opponents Are Making a
Bitter Fight.

Chattanooga. Tenn, June 14.-As a
result of the bitter fight that is being
made on Pension Commissioner H. Clay
Evans by Republicans, owing to his
pension restrictions, it is more than
likely that Mr.. Evans will not be sent
as a delegate to the next national con-
Vention. A conference of those OPP
posed to Evans was held in Chattanoo-
ga a day or two ago and it was decided
to organize against him.
The minds of the old soldiers have
been poisoned by the influences at
work against Commissioner Evans. Con-
political enemy, has charge of the state
organization and is the Republican
state chairman. BrOwnlOw will have
charge of the fight on Evans.
General Dan r. SickleS has written a
letter to Commissioner Evans, SO a
friend of Mr.. Evans said last night
after a conversation with General
Sickles, to the effect that he is exactly
right on the pension question and that
he indorses his actions.

THUGS AT osWEGo.
Citizens Are Securing the Country In
Search of Desperadoes.

Oswego, June 14-Our little city is all
wrought up today and posses of citi-
zens with Winchesters, revolvers and
every conceivable wea pom are securing
the country in search Of some parties
committing depredations in this county.
About o'clock this morning the home
of L. c. Green, one of Labette cOunty's
most prosperous farmers and stock
raisers. was robbed of everything of
value that the men could get, incIud-
ing valuable watch and an amount of
money.
Deputy Sheriff Disch, with an assist
ant started on the hunt of the parties.
They overlook the parties some distance
south of here and succeeded in forcing
a surrender, but just when they went
to handcuff their men they were over
powered and their guns taken away.
Disch had a serious wound in his
head and neck, while Daniels is shot
through the forearm. They were both
wounded with the same bullet
The officers came back to town and
had their wounds dressed, and by that
time all the guns available were taken
by the citizens, and thus armed they
started in pursuit. Buggies, carriages
and horses all started at ence in all di-
rectiOns.
Posses are also in pursuit from Par
sons and Chetopa.
Fay Green, the son of L. c. Green,
started after the desperadoes and a
great deal of anxiety is felt lest he has
been murdered.

Stockton, June 14.-There came near
being case of drowning here, and be-
cause of it being averted Stockton can
furnish hero in the person of Ray
Morgan, about II years of age.
He and his two little sisters, aged
about 8 and 10 years, were out on the
pond boat riding in water about eight
feet deep. Suddenly the little boat
tipped over. throwing the occupants
out. The young boy was a good swim
mer and succeeded in landing his two
sisters on the top of The bottom part
of the boat, and in swimming and push
ing the boat toward shore it righted,
throwing the two girls again into the
water. The boy, tired out, was a little
hero, for he again started for the girls,
who were struggling in the water, one
of whom had a death grip on the other,
but he held their heads above the water
as much as possible, and called for
help. a man working in the mill came
to the rescue and succeeded in getting
them on land, but not until one of them
was so completely exhausted and stran-
gled that her life was deSpaired of but
by constant exertions she was brought
to life.
Citizens of the town raised the little
boy q handsome purse.

A MONTH YET.
The Peace Conference is Expected to
Remain in Session.

The Hague, June Alt is now ex-
pected that the peace conference will
not adjourn before the middle of July,
as it is thought the labors of the dele
gates will not be finished before that
time, and there is the additional ques
ton of the acceptance by the powers
of the decisions adopted by the confer
ence.
The delegates who desire to see some
tangible result accomplished by the
conference recognize that if the mem
bers are contented with simply trans
hitting the decisions Of their respect
i've governments, the work of the dele
gates will simply be pigeon holed in the
various chancels of Europe and will not
be accepted. Therefore, the delegates
have resolved to adjourn their sittings
as soon as their work is completed and
to submit the result to their respective
governments with the request that the
delegates be empowered to sign defin-
lite document. It is expected the gov
ernments will keep track of the prog
ress of the work and that it will re-
quire ten days for deliberations on their
final decision, which will bring the final
adjournment in the middle of July.

NoISELEss CITIES.

IF'rom the Post-Dispatch.1
An optimist who writes in the Elec-
trical Review thinks that we are rap
idly approaching the period when cities
will be noiseless. He argues that with
the passing of the horse and the COM
ing of the rubber-tired automobile the
chief cause OF city noise will be abolish
ed.
But what of the gong?
Before street cars we had omnibuses.
These had gathering horses and creak-
tng wheels. Then came the street cars
with gongs on platforms, register bells
inside and electric bells for stop sig
nails Besides these noises, street cars
produce variety of continuous sounds.
varying from hum to a roar
The automobile will certainly have its
gong, and that gong will penetrate into
residence districts where the street car
cannot go. Automobiles carrying a
number of passengers will doubtless
have registering bells and signal bells.
And whenever their machinery works
badly we shall hear the hunming, the
jangle, or the roar of it.
The noiseless city of the living Is an
ideal to hope for and work for rather
than something this generation can ex-
pect to realize.

he LOST $500.
Young Woman Relieves Society
Man of His Employers Money.

There was a Bohemian evening at
one of the Topeka hotels last night, and
as a result a young society man is out
in the neighborhood of 5000 besides
what was necessary to provide the en-
tertainment.
The young mans companion was a
young woman who came to Topeka
this week from Marion, but who is sup
posed to have cut her acquaintance
with this city in the early hours of the
morning. simultaneously with her de-
parture the young mans funds disap-
peared.
The detective portion of the Topeka
police force is today attempting to find
some trace of the direction the young
woman decided up on after she came
to the conclusion to leave Topeka. The
search is said to be particularly
prompted by the fact that the lost
money did not belong to the young man
but to his employer.
AS the story goes the young man and
his companion met for the first time
Tuesday. The meeting was shortly fol-
lowed by an arrangement for an even
ing meeting, and early in the night the
two went TO the hotel. There was no
scarcity of liquid refreshments, and it
seems that the cheering glass had
greater attraction for the young man
than for his companion, and after
time he grew drowsy and finally drop
ped off to sleep. When he awoke it was
daylight, and the young woman had
gone.
Words would fail to express the con-
dition of his mind when he discovered
that the roll of money he had in mis-
clothes when he entered the hotel the
night before was likewise gone. He
dressed hurriedly and made inquiries
at the hotel office, but no one had seen
a young woman answering the descrip-
ton he gave leave the hotel.
Had it been money of his own the
hi hoT
lowed his misfortune and said nothing
about his loss, but it was money
that had to be replaced, he turned to
the police as the only known means of
regaining it.
The police have found that at one
place in the city Tuesday the woman
gave her name as Haley and at anOth-
er place James. They hope to recover
the money, but are not confident in this
regard as it is believed she left town
early this morning.

EXCITEMENT AT DOWNS.
Quietude of the Little City Broken by
a Series of Thrilling Events.

Downs, June 14.-Downs had been en-
joying a season of quieuness for some
time, when all at once the quietude was
broken by the news of the sudden
OVerturning of two passenger coaches
on the Central Branch of the Missouri
Pacific, well filed with passengers, and
the woundinS and bruising slightly of
several of them.
This was followed by the ugly rumors
that a wife had fired several shots at
her husband, neither of which took eff
feet. In another part of the town
came the report that there had been
serious complications between man and
wife of another family and now to over
reach all these events attempt at
suicide by the poison route was made
by Miss Rose Reddick, which occurred
over a love affair.
She was deeply enamored with
young man of the town, and it is said
they had a quarrel, and to get even
with the young lady, her supposed best
fellow found some other girl However,
it was more than the girl could stand
up under. She took the dose of poison,
with suicidal intent. But luckily for
Miss Reddick, people discovered it in
time two doctors were called in, and
after laboring with her for several
hours. succeeded in pumping the poison
out of her and saving her life.

SUCCEEDS WARDEN FRENCH
Place Given to an Illinois Man-Jim
Simpson After 1t.

Leavenworth, June 1.-THE appoint
ment of Major Robert Wilson Nc
Claughry, warden of the military pris-
on here, to take the place of Warden
French, was in the nature of a sur
prise. French was from Indiana and
McClaughry is from Illinois, which is
along the line of keeping the position
from Kansas and Missouri. 1t is hoped
that it means that the subordinate
places will be given to states nearer
here than Illinois or Indiana.
The record of Major McClaughry as
warden of the penitentiary at Joliet is
said to be good and that he left that
position because of i'll health and not
because Governor Tanner wanted to
get him out of that state. The eli
mate here, being much better than the
climate at Joliet, it is supposed the
change will prove beneficial.
1t happens that a few days ago a
conference was held at Topeka, attend
ed by Bristow. Baker, Leland, AIbaugh
and Frank Brown and a resolution
passed to give this position to Jim
Simpson. Mr.. Bristow was to call the
matter up just as soon as he reached
Washington. The indications are that
the Illinois fellows got their work in
before the Kansas move was register

many years, has been convicted in the
district court of grand larceny. He
boarded at Charles Bradshaw'S house
and Bradshaw claimed that he stole d

has always borne a good reputation
which was testified to in the trial by
Mr.. H. A. Auerbach of the Palace com
pany He admitted to the officers at
the time of the arrest, however, that
he took the money, and while he claim
ed that he did so under inducements
held out to him that the matter would
be hushed up, and that he was not
guilty, the jury thought otherwise and
found a verdict of guilty.
