just purchased granite property located
in Newark and East Burke, which in its

address given at the opening OF the Co

by Governor Robert La Toilette of Wis
consin. La Toilette denounced John d.
Rockefeller as the greatest criminal Of
the age, and repeated his former decla-
ration that If Rockefeller lived mil
lion years he could not atone for his
crimes.
II hear John has been attending pray
er meeting again." said the Governor
well. now, that is nice, 1 tell you. by
the Eternall If he lived a million years
he could not atone. He gives with many
hands, but he also robs with many hands.
He is the author of the odious rebate sys-
tenn, in which he has built trust on oil,
a system which was rejected by the mod
ern better class Of fnanciers, but of late
has been accepted. Rockefeller is branch
ing out and in time the banking system
of the country will be under his control.
His prayer meetings will not save him.
He will be judged in Gods time-etern-

FROM RENO MADE
VICTIM OF TWO THIEVES
Augustine Bacigalupi Gives Purse Com
tanning $500 to Pretended Friend,
Who Retains 1t.

Augustine Bacigalupi arrived in the
city on Tuesday from Reno, Nevada,
and registered at the Costa Hotel, 308
Pacific street. 1t was his first visit to
the city and it has turned out a costly
one. He left the hotel on Tuesday
night and sampled the liquor on the
Barbary Coast. In a saloon he met two
men, one tall and the other short. They
had several drinks and soon before
midnight Bacigalupi expressed a desire
to go to his hotel.
On the way the taller of the two men
said he feared a hpld-up. whereupon
the other took Bacigalupi aside and
said he would prove his friend. Baci-
galupi handed him a purse containing
$500 and told him to meet him about a
block away and return the purse after
getting rid of the other man. Baciga-
lupi left the two men, saying he was
going TO buy some cigars. He waited
in vain for the one to whom he gave
the purse.
Bacigalupi notified the police yester-
day merning and Detective Silvey was
detailed on the case. Bacigalupi has
no idea of where he gave away the
purse nor could he give an accurate
description of the two men.
