Oaks of Many Centuries.

Gen. James Grant Wilson In the INDIE
pendent.
Many of the most interesting British
relics of ancient days are the oaks, the
annals of which take us back to Saxon
times. Some that are still living were
centuries old In the days of Harold and
his Norman conquerer and may have
been growing and gazed upon by Roman
Caesar. Herne's oak, which the writer
saw in Windsor Park before Its fall in
1868; the Newland oak, mentioned in
Domesday Book, and the still more 81
gantic oak at Lowthorpe, with a circum-
ference of fifty-fve feet. Then there is
the Major oak, In Sherwood Forest, said
to be fifteen hundred years old, under
whose broad branches Robin Hood and his
merry band held their revels, and the
Winfarthing and Bentley oaks. believed
to be equally ancient.
There was a celebrated tree by Kentish
Town, known as the Gospel oak. and an
other at Addlestone, beneath which VII
ellffe preached and Queen Elizabeth dined.
The Cowthorpe oak, near Wetherby, 1t is
claimed is more than sixteen hundred
years old, and the largest In England,
measuring seventy-eight feet In crcum-
ference But this was exceeded in age
by Domarays oak, in Devonshire, de-
stroyed by severe storm in 1903, which
enjoyed the distinction of having lived
through twenty centuriesl

WEEKLY AVERAGES
OF CLEARING HOUSE

New York. September 1.-The statement
Of the clearing house banks for the week
shows that the banks hold S2s69. 400 over

last week. The statement follows

New York, September The Financler
this week says:
Last weeks statement of the New York
Associated Banks showed a very mar
row margin of reserve. The surplus was
not entirely extinguished as was expected
from the heavy loss of cash which was
Indicated by the preliminary estimates,
and tended to relieve much anxiety. The
cash decrease was 1859, 300, while the ma
jority of the estimates seemed to fore
shadow a loss Of nearly seven millions.
Such estimates were based upon drain
of about five millions to the interior, in
Guiding transfers to San Francisco and
the absorption Of three and two-third
millions by the sub-treasury, making
eight and two thirds millions which was
only partially offset by receipts Of new
gold through assay office checks. The
discrepancy between the estimated loss
of cash and that shown by the statement
Is not susceptible of reasonable explana-
ton.
The general deposits decreased 81, 1874, 800
which amount closely agreed with the
sum of the decrease in loans and the loss
of cash so that the statement made a
good proof The required reserve against
deposits decreased s2,94s, 625, deducting
which from the loss of cash left 81, 420, 476
as the reduction in surplus reserve to
2S69, 400 computed upon the basis of de-
posits less those of $40, 313, 900 public funds,
the surplus is $5,447, $50.
Loans were contracted by $685. 200 in
dicating rather free cancellations as the
result of liquidation of speculative ac
counts or the transfer of loans to trust
companies; the excess of loans over de-
posits was $21, 6S2 400 against $112Si 100 in
the previous week. The daily average of
bank clearings for the week was 1862, co.,,
900 against 1892, 100000 in the week Of Au-
gust Is, clearings on Saturday rejecting
Fridays business were S423, 1851 746 Com
PARSONS of loans by individual banks
showed that six institutions increased this
item to six and half millions net. Seven
banks lost three and four-fifths millions
net cash.

DEPOSITS co UP
$50 PER CENT.
Los ANGELES BANKS LEAD
UNITED STATES
Remarkable Feature OF Flnsnolerlne
In Coast Metropolis Is the Great
Number Of Savings
is Accounts

The banking Institutions Of Los An
geles show larger percentage Of In
crease In deposits than those of any
city In the United States"
This is the statement of Edward
White, editor of the Pacific department
OF the New York Bankers Magazine.
Mr.. White was one of those who suf-
fered In the recent San Francisco fire,
having come out to the coast only a
few weeks before the burning of the
city at the Golden Gate. His household
goods were stored In one of the waro-
houses that were burnt and he escaped
the shake and fire by only two days,
having come down to Los Angeles with
his wife just before the destruction Of
San Francisco.
1.-The percentage Of increase In de-
posits In nine and one-half years in Los
Angeles is $50 per cent" said Mr.. White.
The percentage throughout the entire
United States Is only one hundred and
thirty in tho last ten years, and during
the same time Chicago shows only two
hundred and elghty-three. This speaks
well, indeed for the future of Los An
geles.
1.-THE marked feature Of the banking
business here is the great number of
savings accounts.
when people begin to bank their
money upon that basis. the solidity, Of
growth Is at once assured, and with
the great and rich territory dependent
upon 1t Los Angeles is bound to take it's
place as a great commercial and man
ufacturing city, for business grows as
inevitably from safe banking as day
follows night"

THE TALE OF A DEAD DOG
Man Phones Police Details of Sup
posed Horrible Accident--onIy
Canine the Victim

man living near hirty-eighth
street and Long Beach avenue thought
he saw someone cruelty mangled by a
Long Beach car yesterday morning
and telephoned for the police ambu-
lance.
Owing to the extreme distance to
the scene of the supposed accident the
desk sergeant thought it best to first
telephone the University substation to
send an officer to the spot to make
an investigation. The officer found a
Mexican dog lying dead beside the
track, but no human being could be
found who would admit that he was
injured.
The officials of the Pacific Electric
company We're called up and asked
about the supposed dead man.
They had no report of any such
fatality, but thought it wise to sum-
mon Coroner Trout.
When the affair was explained final
ly to the satisfaction ofthe police de-
partment the coroner, the undertakers
and the railway officials a still hunt
was made for the man who sent in
the false report.

WILL PUSH CASE
AGAINST BUTTS
DISTRICT ATTORNEY MAKES
STATEMENT
Says He VIII Endeavor to Establish
Precedent as to Whether or Not
Motormen Are Personally
Responsible for Cars

In an effort to decide once and for
always whether or not motormen on
the Los Angeles street cars can be held
responsible for the injuring and maim-
ing of pedestrians Deputy District At
torney Fleming Is preparing to make q
test case of the prosecution of Motor
man Elmer Butts, who Is now under
arrest pending trial on a charge of in
voluntary manslaughter.
Butts is out on bail furnished bv the
street railways. He is represented by
the street railway attorneys and they
will fight his case for him in the supe-
rior court.
On the other hand, Fleming Is leav-
ing no stone unturned in his fight to
have complete investigation of the
death of Mary Raulston, the 2.year-o old
daughter Of Joseph Raulston Of South
Wall street, who was killed by q Maple
avenue car on April 16 near the cross
ing of Thirty-sixth street and Maple
avenue.
Say He Saw Baby
According to the statement of a
score Of witnesses, the baby could be
seen a block away and Butts evidently
saw her, for he sounded the gong sew
eral times. But the little one, who had
wandered away from her home in
search Of adventure, stood awe-struck
bteween the cars, her big baby eyes
gazing in wonder at the big yellow car
as 1t flashed down upon her. The pas
sengers screamed in terror. and the
car came to standstill sixty feet
beyond the little figure that rested 80
quietly across the rails. Death had
been instantaneous.
An inquest was held over the body
and one of Coroner Trout's juries rem
dered a verdict of accidental death.
But the baby's father held other
views Of the case and he visited the dis
trict attorneys office and explained his
case. A warrant was issued for the
arrest of Butts. Fleming is now seek
ing some way to stem the tide of acci-
dents which have been of daily occur
renee for the past year.
VIII Go Limit
1--WE will prosecute this case to the
limit" said Fleming yesterday. 'I
think we have good case. 1t is about
time that the motormen of the local
street cars should learn that they per-
sonally are to be held liable for their
careless methods of handling cars.

BELIEVES HIMSELF A DOG
Insane Man Froths at Mouth, Barks
and Shows His Teeth While
in Bastile

Under the delusion that he is dog.
Fredd Rupp, taken to the city Jail
yesterday on an insanity complaint, in
wild frenzy, barked and showed his
teeth at the other prisoners. Until
given a quieting powder by the sur
geons, Rupp kept running back and
forth in his cell, frothing at the mouth
and giving vent to quick, sharp barks
that frightened the occupants of ad-
joining cells.
The surgeon thought 1t possible that
Rupp was bitten by dog at some
time, but his brother said he knew
nothing about any such incident, al
though It might have occurred. The
young man is quiet and docile when
not laboring under his peculiar de-
luslon He was taken to the county
hospital for treatment.
