The commission held brief session yes
terday afternoon to pass resolutions OF
coincidence and regret as follows:
Whereas, death has removed from
his field of usefulness our associate
and friend Archibald B. McCutcheon;
And, whereas, through a long per-
sonal acquaintance and an intimate
official relationship of nearly four
years we have learned to regard him
as a man pre-eminent for his mental
and moral qualifications; for his sound
legal Judgment, supported by an in
flexible sense of equity and justice;
for his sympathetic and genial atti-
tude toward his associates and toward
his fellow man; now therefore, be it
Resolved, that the civil service de-
partment of the city of Los Angeles
and the community at large have suf-
fered an irreparable loss in his un-
timely death; that we also feel deeply
the severance Of those personal cords
which bound us to him as to a brother.

coincidence of this commission be ex-
tended to the bereaved family and

FINANCIAL WORLD
SEES CLEARER SKY
PEOPLE REGAIN CONFIDENCE
WITH REFLECTION
New Rules of Banks Will Be contin-
ued Only So Long as Wise
Conservatism Adj
vises

The financial world In Los Angeles is gaining
reinsurance with each succeeding day. There
never has been during the recent slight dis
turbance any apprehension of fear upon tho
part of bankers; it has been confined to de-
posltors Bankers have understood conditions
They have known all along that the country is
and has been essentially sound.
1t has required some days for the remainder
of the community to gain confidence in tho
statements Of financers. The mere fact that
in the case of commercial banks they could
not draw more than 500 in cash or in case OF
savings banks more than $50 or that they
must give legal time notice for the withdrawal
of all accounts, seemed to dsconcert many
The other fact that they could go on doing
business with checks and drafts usual gave
them little assurance. 1t has been simply
the old story over, that people have wanted
what they couldn't get even though they could
get something else just as good for their needs.
Act Unwisely
A few business men whose experience should
have been worth more to them have been doing
the worst thing they could think OF by INSTRUCT
ing their collectors to accept nothing but real
cash. 1t has only added to the complications
and has helped to prolong the fear of nervous
people. Peoples supply of cash is limited by
the rules of the banks. enforced for their own
protection and that of their depostors ana
when Arms know, or should know, that paper
is just as good at banks as ever, they should
rot endanger their own business prospects by
unwise restrictions upon their customers.
Not all of the local Institutions have availed
themselves of the privilege of clearing with
their own certificates, because the need has
not existed. How long it will be necessary TO
continue the certificate system cannot be stat
ed. Probably until well towards the hrst OF
the year. At least 1t has hitherto required
two or three months to get back to customary
methods.
Nor can any time limit be set for the aboli-
ton of the rule of savings banks, requiring
notice for withdrawal of accounts Officials OF
these institutions assure their depositors that It
win be continued only so long wise con-
servatism advises.

SEARCH FOR
MISSING MAN
DISTRICT ATTORNEY TAKES PER-
soNAL CHARGE
WORK ON THEORY q. w. NASH
WAS MURDERED
Had $3.50 in Pockets When Last Seen
Talking to Character Known
as "Mexloan
Joe"

Working on the theory that George w.
Nash, the ranchman who has been miss
Ing from his place near Calabasas since
September 10 was the victim of foul play,
District Attorney ]. D. F'redericks, as
sisted by detectives and deputy con-
stables, instituted a search yesterday
which will not be given up until the body
of the man has been discovered, or the
missing man shows up.
Nash was said to have had $3.50 cash
on his person when last seen. He was
seen talking to a suspicious character
named Mexican Joe just before he dis
appeared. The theory was first advanced
that the man had left the country be-
cause OF domestic difficulties. The ranch
ers In the neighborhood have always
doubted this solution.
When District Attorney Fredericks ar
rived he at once discountenanced the
theory of the family quarrel. He has
known the rancher for years, and says
his domestic relations were Of the best
To Excavate for Body
John Haas. road foreman of the Gala
haaas diatrict. obtained permission from
Chairman Patterson of the board of su-
pervisors, to turn up the culverts in the
IL
order to see If the missing mans body
may not be lodged some place underneath
them. The ranchers In the district have
theory that the body Is buried near O
rev culvert on the county highway near
Calabasas, and the plans Of the searching
party are to make series OF excavations
at that point.
The wife Of the missing man refuses to
countenance the theory OF desertion and
-l.~ Laz hr,1d Afy
the first, that her husband met with
foul play. District Attorney Fredericks
went out yesterday morning in his new
automobile, which he drove himself He
did not state at the time where he was
going, but later in the day 1t leaked out
that he was to start the search per-
sonal1y.
Several detectives followed in a horse
drawn vehicle, with camping OUTFIT on
board. 1t is understood they are to es-
tablish themselves in the district ard
not give up the search until something is
found out about the mystery. Sleuths
of the sheriff's office are to scour the
country for Mexican Joe.
Mexican Joe Missing
Mexican Joe has not been seen since
the disappearance Of Nash.
Nash has a home in Sawtelle, but
owned a ranch near Calabasas. which he
leased to man named Joseph Smith. He
went to the ranch to collect the rent, and
after leaving the place was never seen
again except when he stopped to speak to
the character named Joe.
Ranchers near Calabasas have beer
making up a purse to aid In the searcn Iol
the missing man, whom they confidently
believe to have been murdered. Many o.
the ranchers contributed So and $40 each
and some of them even larger sums

RoBBER is RESCUED

P. s. Dayton, a soldier visiting rel
atives during furlough, was taken to
the receiving hospital yesterday morn
ing after being assaulted on Main
street near Market
Dayton carried 5000 in his pocket and
was on his way home when stranger
accosted him and suggested that they
go together to Twelfth street, near
where Dayton is staying. Dayton says
he was struck shortly afterward in the
mouth. and but for the appearance Of
Patrolman Barlow and F. c. Green the
highwayman might have been success
full in his efforts to rob. The stranger
escaped.
The physicians found one of Dayton's
teeth gone while another was so loos-
ened that it had to be extracted.

GENTRY BROTHERS. SHOW
BILLED FOR LOS ANGELES
Count and Countess Magri, the Latter
Better Known as Mrs. Tom
Thumb, Are Among the
Features

That portion of the amusement loving
public more particularly described as 'ths
younger generation is to have it's especial
inning of the circus game when the Gentry
Bros famous shows exhibit at Eleventh
and Flower street November Is, 10. 20
and Il.
For over twenty years the name Of
Gentry has been inseparably associated
with trained dogs and ponies and with an
exhibition conceived, created and coa-
Quoted for the principal purpose of giviag
delight to the boys and girls. Cleverness
has been the Gentry trademark and clean
liness its chief virtue.
Up to this season there have been two
Gentry shows en- tour, but the opening Of
this season saw change in policy which
permitted the uniting of the eastern
and western" shows and the addition OF
many attractions-all of which has re-
suited In putting the Gentry shows easily
in the van of all trained animal exhibit
tions and making them more and more
than ever the favorites of those who re-
gard the Gentry shows as next to Santa
Claus in the power of pure pleasure CIV
ing and a visit to their tents as a journey
into fairyland.
Trained Elephants
There are the five performing elephants,
Nero, Trilby, Satan, Diamond and Babe,
whose elephant band and elephant supper
give unalloyed pleasure to the little ones.
There is also a herd of camels, the prin-
cipal of which is Oklahoma a baby
born this spring in the state whose name
it bears. Trained pigs, sheep and geese
have also been added to the Gentry happy
family.
1t is not alone in the department of
trained animals, however, that the Gen
trys have augmented their aggregation,
for the big feature of all the shows is
the most famous little woman in the
world Mrs Gen. Tom Thumb, now the
Countess Magri. The countess, with the
Count Magri, and his equally diminutiVe
twin brother, the Baron Magri, holds re
ceptions just inside the main entrance
each afternoon and evening prior to the
beginning of the regular performance and
during each afternoon and evening ap-
pears before the audience and gives q
brief autobiographical address. AS the
famous Mrs. Gen. Tom Thumb has been
before the public for nearly fifty years
her friends and admirers are found by the
thousands in three generations.
Owing to the coming of the Gentry
shows the boys and girls of Los Angeles
and vicinity will be privileged this season
to enjoy a peculiar and characteristic
social function known as the Sunday aft
ernoon reception. From A to 9 o'clock
Sunday afternoon the big animal tent will
be thrown open to the public, and the
ponies dogs and other animals put on
dress parade. For one hour the children
of all ages and the elders who bring them
will have full opportunity to mingle with
the principal actors in the Gentry shows
and get first hand acquaintance with the
equine, canine and elephantine artists
whose business in life is to make each
day a youthful holiday. The Gentry
shows will exhibit here for four days.

CHICAGO GRAIN
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
CHICAGO. Nov. 1.-The report of possible
shutting down of the flour mills was received
about the middle of the session. and caused a
break of more than 1c In the high point Of the
day. A slump of SC at Winnipeg also weak
ened the market. The market became firm on
buying by bulls and the strength shown at the
principal European grain markets. The shorts
took advantage of the late break in prices
and covered freely. which caused the market
to close steady. December opened AQ%c lower
to shade higher at s5Ds59sc advanced to
sshc and then dropped to 94sc. The close was
a. s5is9s5hc. May sold between s1.o3A Q103is
and closed at s1.03&.
Corn was strong all day because of the
many reports received regarding the poor
condition OF the new crop. The prospects of
light movement to market during this morn
ing also stimulated prices. The market closed
strong. December opened a shade to A@Ac
higher at 59sa959Hc, advanced to 60kc and
closed at 60c.
Oats were strong on covering by shorts who
bought because Of the prospects Of a con-
siderable decrease in the movement. December
opened &c higher at 491sc advanced to SOC
and closed at 1870.
Provisions broke sharply because of selling
by packers and lower prices for live hogs The
market closed weak with January pork down

FEW CHANGES ARE
SEEN ON MARKET
RECEIPTS OF EASTERN Eoce
HOLD PRICES FIRM
Butter Has No Further DeeIlne-cran-
berries Move Up Several Notohes.
Figs Bring Very Fancy
Figures

While the receipts Of local ranch eggs we're
only % cases. eastern stock has been arriving
in liberal quantities The result is seen in
steady quotations
Potatoes were weaker yesterday by several
cents on the hundred. There appears to be
some desire in the north and in Colorado to un-
load large Accommodations. This movement has
probably been accelerated by the financial cen
ditions.
Butter was firm and the feeling prevails IN
some quarters that an advance may occur
A large amount of vegetables were in evil
dence. but demand was not strong enough or
weak enough to change prices.
The cranberry trust has apparently taken ad-
vantage of the reported shortage OF the crop
in New England ana Wisconsin by advancing
prices to 50 eOeqe.75 Up 10 the present they
have not been considered as unreasonable
Grapes continue TO be OF grade not very
attractive. Occasionally small supply viii
be displayed which is attractive
Figs are selling at high figures on ac-
count of scarcity

count of the death of James W. Aliaway' a

that is all there is of it. And 1t is alto gether idle to talk of "change of sentl- ment." better feeling,'' "steadying in fiuences," and such like for months to come. The corporations, as is well known, have definitely abandoned all new un- dertakngs from necessity, and now, as is not so well known but is no less true, manufacturing and mercantile credits are being curtailed by the banks, not in New York only, but the country over.
 It Is going to be hard sledding next winter for everybody who makes things to sell Wall street proved strong enough to weather It's storm; whether the mer cantile communities and small manufac- turers will demonstrate like capacity re- mains to be seen. In any case, all one can do Is to make such preparation as may seem to conform with prudence, and hope for the best. It Is utterly silly to put any dependence upon a possible ef- fort by the President to check progress of the snowball he started down the hill He couldn't do 1t if he should try-and he won't try Why should he? Isn't he more popular now than ever before?
