I'VE loaned on goods in warehouse
and on bills of lading, properly in

so advanced. When demand for pay

the goods, as per contract, and can

their Indebtedness to the bank. This
was regular and usual business trans

them since the fire.
DIRECTORS NOT DISSATISFIED.
You state in bold type. 'Shake-up in
board of directors of the Western Ma
tionaI Bank follows making of large
loan to defunet company. There is
not one word of truth IN this, and every
gentleman mentioned in your article of
this morning will bear me out in this
statement Out OF nine directors that
composed the board there resigned
during 1905 and 1906 Mr.. Bene-
dict, for the reason then stated, be-
cause of his health; Mr.. Miller, who ac-
ceDted the presidency OF anOI0er DankI
and Mr.. owens. because he took a long
trip around the world; since his. return
he has been reelected, and is now a
member of the board.
"All loans made by the bank are
passed upon by a finance committee of
four, and are granted only with the
sanction of every member of the com
mittee
In conclusion. wish to state that
the Hilbert Mercantile Company's only
indebtedness to the bank at the present
time is a contingent liability on notes
discounted for and Endorsed by them.
This contingency is very remote, as
most of these notes have already been
collected, and those still unpaid have
not matured.
In justice to the Western National
Bank, 1 ask that you give this state
ment the same prominence in your pa
per of tomorrow morning as was given
the article referred to. Very truly,
WILLIAM c. MURDOCH,
president"
This statement made by President
Murdoch, however. does not agree with
the statements made by former direc-
tors of the Western National Bank,
who declare the account of the bank s
connection with the Hilbert Mercantile
Company, as given in The Call, is corr
rect The statements of saloon men
who claim they were compelled to pat
ronize the Western National Bank are
also at variance with that of Presi-
dent Murdoch.

STOPS STRIKE BY DISCHARGING
DISSATISFIED EMPLOYEES

SACRAMENTO, July 21.-The South
ern Pacific Company today averted a
walk-out of freight handlers by dis
charging the entire crew, numbering
nearly sixty-five men. Several days
ago a delegation of the men made a
demand for a fat raise of 21s cents
an hour for all kinds of labor. The
truckers had been receiving 20 cents
an hour and the leaders and stevedores
22h cents an hour. The delegation
insisted that as the wages of the San
Francisco employees had been increased
that Sacramento men should be treated
with the same consideration. After
the dismissal of the men today other
men were picked up on the river front
and put at work.

dried beans. hominy or dried fruits
must first be well soaked in cold waiter,
then allowed to boil five minutes in
plenty of water. after which they are
placed in the freless stove for from

how much fire is required to cook
beans or hOminy in the old way, some
idea of the saving of fuel may be
realized
Indeed. for dwellers in flats or rooms
where gas or vapOr stoves must be
used the hay box will soon prove its
own economy and usefulness. A meal
can be started and placed in the fire

goes shopping or marketing, or the

outside of the regular family meals.

hay box and serve an appetiZing hot
meal instead of the usual cold one, or

them to work the fireless stove. with
