ANDERSON DENIES THAT
HE RECEIVED REBATES
LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR SAYS
STREYCHMANS LIED
States That Neither Personally Nor
as Manager for the California
Fruit Distributors Did He Ever
Have Any Special Rates
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
SACRAMENTO May 26.-Lieutenant
Governor Alden Anderson has returned
from a trip to the eastern states, where
he has been in the interest of the Cali
fornia fruit distributors looking up new
markets for California fruits.
When shown the dispatches published
in the California newspapers contain
ing the testimony of H. Streychmans,
former stenographer of Armour & Co.,
before the interstate commerce COM
mission in Chicago charging him with
accepting rebates from the Armour
lines, he declared positively that the
testimony was a malicious falsehood.
Mr.. Anderson said: II brand as an
unmitigated lie the testimony given by
one Streychmans in Chicago, as printed
in the California papers of the issue of
May 10, relative to myself personally
or to myself as manager of the Cali
fornia fruit distributors or to the Cali
fornia fruit distributors.
For myself personally l would say
ager of the California fruit distributors
1 was manager of the Alden Anderson
Fruit company. AS manager of that
company at the time when there were
competing refrigerator companies in
California, neither myself personally
nor the company had a rebate COIL
tract with any car line company OF
any nature whatever.
You can quote me now, as hereto
fore, as being opposed to the principle
and policy of rebates 1 hope the CIV
ing or taking of them will be made
punishable by fine or imprisonment, SC
that every railroad shipper will know
he is on an equality with every Other
shipper"

0AKDALE BANK AFFAIRS
IN VERY BAD CONDITION
LOSSES WILL FALL ENTIRELY ON
STOCKHOLDERS
Were Practically No Depositors, Con-
eern Being Private One, Which
Kahn Used In the Transaction Of
His Grain Business
Bv AssocIated Press.

BY Associated Press.
STOCKTON, Cal, May 26.-The
latest Developments in the affairs Of
the Oakdale bank, the cashier of which,
Louis Kahn, is lying at the point of
death from self-inflicted bullet
wound, are that the bank has totally
collapsed. A report will not be forth
coming for a day or two, but those
who have been conversant with the af-
fairs of the bank express the opinion
that matters will be found in much
worse condition than at first reported.
1t is believed now that the losses of
the bank through loans which Kahn
made to himself in the course of busi-
ness will amount to $50,OOO. This loss
will fall upon the stockholders. as there
were no deposits to speak Of and it is
this fact which accounts for the alb
sence of run on the concern when
the news of the shooting of Kahn
spread about Oakdale The two or
three people who had small amounts In
the bank withdrew their deposits dur
ing Wednesday.
The Oakdale bank was little more
than a private concern which Kahn
used in the transaction of his large
grain business. 1t formerly did a large
banking business, but new banks at
Oakdale and Modesto captured about
all of the patronage. Being the prin-
cipal stockholder and cashier, and he
and his son being the financial COM
mittee, the latter also being the assist
ant cashier, Kahn was able to make
large loans to himself
A special telephone message to the
Mail this morning from DR.. Thompson,
the attending surgeon, is to the effect
that Mr.. Kahn is worse today. While
he may live through the day, there is
little hope for his recovery. He has
lapsed into a state of semi-conscious-
ness. There is no feeling of uneasiness
here regarding the local banks, as any
one of them could shoulder the entire
loss without inconvenience.

BARON A. DE R0THSCHILD
PASSES AWAY IN PARIS
DEATH CAUSED BY BRONCHITIS,
ADDED TO eouT
Was Head Of French Branch Of the
Famous Banking House and Cow
ernor Of the Bank Of Frsnce-cel-
ebrsted for Financial Ability
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
PARIS, May 26.-Baron Alphonse de
Rothschild, head of the French branch
Of the famous banking house and gov
ernor of the Bank of France, died at
4:S0 this morning from acute bron-
chitis, aggravated by gout The emf
nent financier had been sinking slowly
for many days. but there was no ap-
prehension that his death was immi-
nent.
He first took to his bed two weeks
ago. Several rallies gave promise of
his recovery. Two days ago the baron
began to fail rapidly and his condition
assumed a disquieting form. Although
he kept up an animated conversation
with members of his family and the
old servants, the patient became very
weak and last night entered on coma
tose state. He passed away this morn
ing peacefully, surrounded by his
family.
The announcement Of the baron's
death caused widespread regret, for,
besides his position in the financial
world, Baron Alphonse was known for
his lavish charities, one of the latest
being the gift of s2.OOO,OOO for the erec-
ton of worl1ingmen's homes.
The news of the baron's death caused
deep impression among financiers
generally. 1t was said that his death
would probably momentarily affect the
extensive interests in which the house
is concerned but that 1t would not have
a lasting effect on the market.
The deceased, who was born in 1927,
will be succeeded as head of the Paris
banking house by Baron Lambert de
Rothschild of Brussels, whose business
capacity has earned him a worldwide
reputation.
The burial of Baron Alphonse will
be most simple, according to the strict
rule of the Rothschild family, includ-
ing a plain coffin, without mourning
tributes. The funeral, the date of
which has not yet been fixed. will be
the occasion of a notable tribute of
respect.

Jews and Christians Arming

BY Associated Press.
ST. PETERSBURG, May 26.-The
council of the empire has increased the
appropriation for public education by
S625, 900.
Private reports from Zhtomir, prov
ince of Volhynia, say the tension be-
tween the Jews and Christians is in
creasing and that both sides are arm
ing.
The Ignatieff commission for the re-
vision of exceptional laws designed for
safeguarding public order has pro-
nounced against continuance of the
minor state of siege which Is annually
declared in many Russian cities. The
commission finds that 1t has led to
great abuses and arbitrary acts and
that it has furnished a pretext for
domiciliary visits and summary ar
rests. The commission recommends the
entire abolition of the so-called minor
state of siege and the substitution at
times of great public stress of martial
law, so as to leave the cities either in
a normal condition, with the civil au-
thorities in full sway, or entirely under
the control of the military.
