San Francisco, Dec. 11.-FOllowinS his arrival from Santa Barbara in the custody Of Detective David F. Walker. the president of the insOlvent Califor- mia Safe Deposit and Trust Go. today gave ort statement in which he de- clared that -ot until two weeks ago did he become aware Of the true state of affairs of the institution whose fate is causing grave anxiety to 12.0OO de- pOsitors. Walker. according to his statement. appears to have been mere lv a figurehead, as he declared that he had TO active part in the conduct of the trust company, which he said was left in the hands of '. DalZell Brown the general manager who is at present in the city prison on charge of em- bezzlement. based upon the disappear ance of securities valued at S2O5. 900. belonging to the Cotton estate which had been deposited in the bank by w J. Bartnett, 2 director of the trust company and who. until yesterday. was general counsel and vice president of tie Western Pacific Railwa- and who was special administrator of the Colton estate
 While neither Walker nor Bartnett will state in so many words that Brown was responsible for the disappearance Of the securities, the fact remains that the former has denied all knowledge of their existence The latter today stated that the securities were depOsit- ed - the bank by order of the court. and that neither he nor Walker had any thing to lG with their removal.
 Among the developments Of the day was the discO,cr-- of the suicide of T. Otway Sadlier, manager Of the West End Bank. one os the four branches of the California Safe Depos- and Trust Company. Sadlier was an intimate friend and confidential en- ploye of Brown. He worked unceas- ingly to get his employer bailcd out of prison but without success. After talk ing with Brown in the city prison late last night Sadlier went to room in the rear of his bank and blew his head off with a doublebarrel shotgun
 Brown, who has maintained sphinx like demeanOr since his arrest, was visibly affected when he learned of the death of his employc The bond of fered by surety company for Browns release today was rejected by Judge Dunne and the accused banker is still in prison.

STORY OF ORCHARD
 RECEIVES ADDITIONS
This Time # More Closely Connects Pettibone With the Witness Con- fessed Crimes.

Boise, Dec. 11-For four hours today in the trial of Pettibone, Harry Or chard was on the stand. When court adjourned his story was only half told. Under the guidance of James H. Flaw ley. chief counsel for the prosecution. Orchard told of the blowing up of the Bunkerhill and Sullivan mine in the Occur de Alenes, the killing of Charles Mccormick and Mel Beck in the Vindi- gator at Cripple Creek. the murder of Ey1e Gregory in Denver. the blowing up of the Independence depot and at tempt on the life of Governor Peabody of Colorado.
 In the main, the testimony was the same as that given in the Haywood trial but the questions emphasized Pettibone's alleged conspiracy. An en- tirely new feature of the evidence was the statement by Orchard that Petit bone told him in 1904 that he purchased 100 rifles from a hardware company in Denver and shipped them to the Occur de Alenes for use in the riots of 1905.
 The witness said Pettibone told him that he paid $500 of Western Federa- tion money for the rifles. Another portion of the testimony which the state regards as important was a state ment that Pettibone visited Orchards house in Cripple Creek and showed him how to use the "Pettibone dope" It is claimed by the prosecution that cor Iobative evidence will be introduced on these points.

 FINANCIAL REFORM
Moving toe. Slowly for the Purposes of
 Dealers in Stocks.

New York. Dec 1.-The withdrawal of effective support of prices. except after a spOtty circular fashion. and a dull declining tendency was a reflec- tion of disappointment at the tardiness with which the dislOcation of financial affairs is working toward a correction.
 A dull recovery set in after midday. coincident with a decline of call money rate. which eliminated in brisk rise in the last hour Except in extreme cases the early losses were recovered. The most favorable stocks were quot ed at materially above yesterdays closing. A heavy short covering of American Smelling was a feature. There was also conspicious strength shown by Reading. St. Paul, the Hill stocks. Southern Pacific, and Amalga- mated Copper. Bond were heavy.

Louisville Stands a Good Chance of Securing the Democratic National Convention.

Washington. Dec. 1.-The situation with regard to the selection of a place for holding the next democratic na- tiolal convention had so simplified it. self tonight that practically all the candidates for the henOr have been eliminated except Chicago. Louisville and Denver. The Denver delegation. consulting freely with the committee. impressed upon every one the fact of the city's readiness to pay S100.000 to secure the convention.
 Louisville is represented by strong delegation and at a late hour the indi cations were favorable to that city. There is TO talk of any candidate eX- cept Bran. Some members of the committee think it too early to say that any one man is certain of the nomination but the- admit that the probabilities point to the Nebraskan.

 Recovery of the Bodies.

BlOomsburg. Pa, Dec. flowing Co high water in the Susquehanna river and the terrific force of the current no attempt was made today to recover the bodies of the seven men drowned yes terday when the Mifiinsville bridge collapsed.
 The water rose rapidly until noon when it began to subside. With the flood as it is any attempt to recover the bodies would be futile. PrSbably nothing can be done in that connection for several days all the fifteen men who sustained serious injuries are ex- pected to recover.

IT'S SETTLED
 THIRD TERM
The President Puts a Qui-
 etuS On the Movement
He Makes A Definite An nOuncement That He Will Not Be a Candidate.

Washington, Dec. 11.-President Roosevelt will not be a candidate for a third term. All doubts on that point tonight was dispelled by an authoritative statement from the White House that President Roosevelt still adheres to the declaration of renuncia- ton made on the night of the election three years ago.
 In a statement issued tonight the president says he has not changed and shall not change his decision delivered to the Am eriean people. lt appears that the president has been waiting the call for the republican na- tional convention to afford proper opportunity for making his position clear and unnistak- able, thus leaving the field clear for Fairbanks, Taft, Cannon, Knox, Foraker and others de- cIared or receptive candidates for the republican nomination.
 The presidents statement fol- lows: "On the night after the election 1 made the following announcement: T am deeply sensible of the honor done me by the American people in thus ex- pressing their confidence in what done and have tried to do. appreciate to the full the solemn responsibility and confi- dence imposed upon me. shall do all that in my power lies not to forfeit it.. On the 4th of March next shall have served three and a half years. These constitute my first term. It is a wise custom which limits the president to two terms. regard the substance and not the form and under no circumstances will be a candidate for or accept another nomination.
 "l have not changed and shall not change the decision thus an nounced."

Individuality IN Religion.

In the Bible, and particularly in the New
Testament. The speaker said he did not
entirely indorse the views OF some Bible
teachers who preach that man should
always follow the lead Of some ono else,
like the sheep, and adopt ideas OF others
instead Of evolving ideas of their wD.

Fires and Loss OF Life.

Wheeling, w. Va, March 16.-Fire
and terri6: gas explosion In the plant
of W. A. Wsrrick Pottery Company
added to the horrors of the food here
today.
Following the explosion the plant
caught FIRE and was practically destroy
ed. The flames quickly spread to q
number Of tenement houses In the vicin-
ity. Tenants who had been driven to
the upper stories by The food were
trapped, the flames attacking the roof
Of the houses and eating down while
eight feet Of water about the lower stories
prevented escape.
The occupants rushed TO the windows
praying aud begging for help. All the
skifs available were rushed to the scene
and most Of the occupants of the tene'
ments we're rescued.
Seven persons, however, terror strick-
en- at the approach of the flames, leaped
into the water and were drowned.
Ii is believed that a number Of others
we're also swept away By the waters,
and while only seven lives are known to
have been lost, 1t seems probable that
the total death list will be from IL to Is.
Broken aud leaking gas mains ted tue
flames and added to the herrors Of the
scene. Owing to the depth Of the water,
the Ere department was powerless to
