SAN FRANCISCO, Nov 21.-without a
dissenting voice, after a discussion which
had brought out no contrary opinion, the
delegates representing every important
interest in the five counties of San Fran
cisco, Alameda, San Mateo, Marin and
Contra Costa, who met this afternoon in
the assembly room of the chamber OF
commerce in this city, placed themselves
on record as favoring Immediately a
Greater San Francisco, which in the
census figures, as well as in fact would
be fourth in population of the cities OF
the United States.
Former Mayor Warren Olney of Oak
land was chosen permanent chairman
of the general committee which was
formed. The meeting was one of busi-
ness men, but the interest of women in
the movement was shown by the pres
ence of representatives of two women's
clubs. There were about 300 persons
present at this afternoons meeting.

here today, when that tribunal affirmed
in its entirety the decision of the Alle-
gheny county court which refused to
grant Hartje a divorce.
The petitions filed by Hartje's attor-
neys in the superior court asking them
to reopen the case on the ground of the
newly discovered evidence were denied.
The petitions to the court to reopen the
case were based on letters alleged to have
been written by Mrs. Hartje to Thomas
Nadine, the former coachman, who was
named as correspondent by Mr.. Hartje.
PITTSBURG, Nov. H.-Joy over the

There will be no letup in fighting this
case to a finish. We are taking steps to
appeal to the supreme court and we are
confident of ultimate victory"

less encourage deposits and while those
deposits could in turn be handed over to
the banks, it does not furnish complete
relief, because the plan as presented lin
its deposits and does not contemplate the
opening of circulating accounts.
THE business community, therefore,
cannot use the postal savings banks to
any great extent, and besides it would
take some time to inaugurate a postal
savings system and secure the necessary
number Of employees to make the plan
effective throughout the country.
II believe it is possible for the govern
ment to give immediate relief by an act
of congrNss providing for the guarantee
by the government of all deposits in all
national banks, the banks thus guaran-
teed to agree to reimburse the govern
ment for any losses incurred and to
make this reimbursement in proportion
to their deposits The advantage of this
plan is:
First, that every depositor in such
guaranteed banks will feel secure.
Second, tie expense of it would be
paid by the banks which get the benefit
of 1t and this expense will be small COM
pared with the benefit gained.
Third, 1t can be put into effect i'm
mediately, thus restoring confidence and
'It is probable that all the national
banks would be willing to take advantage
CT this guarantee because the additional
security given to their depositors would
be of great advantage to the banks. Dur
ing forty years the average annual loss
to depositors has been small, less tkan
one-tenth of one per cent, so small that
1t would be an insignificant tax upon the
four or five billion dollars of deposits.
1.-THE government would have ample Sc
curity in the capital of the surplus of the
banks which would voluntarily join in
the plan AS each bank win become in
terested in the proper management of
every other guaranteed bank, it would be
easier to secure the legislation necessary
for the correction of such abuses as exist
and for the better management of the
banks-for instance, legislation prevent
ing overborrowing by directors and Off
cials of the bank. and legislation prevent
ing speculation by officials.
1T seems TO ne that the plan sugges-
ted ought to be acceptable to the deposit
tors, all of whom desire security, and
1t ought to be acceptable to the bankers,
who will be wei, paid by the increased
deposits for any tax that may be collected
from them to reimburse for the expense.
and do not see where any objection can
be made to the use of the government as
a guarantor when it is amply protected
from loss.
''rhe only objection that occurs to me is
that the state banks might be less at
tractive to depositors If national banks
ere guaranteed But there are two an
swers to this objection. In the first place.
state banks are likely to suffer if this
financial stringency continues and they
are. therefore, interested in restoring con-
f1dence; in the second place, there is no
reason why state banks should not be pro-
tected by similar system under which
the state would guarantee depositors in
state banks and collect the expense from
state banks guaranteed"

Railroad Detective Runs Down Two
Men Answering Description of Mo-
torious PaIr-Shorter One Es-
capes-Rangers Pursue

Two men answering the description of
the 'long' and Short highwaymen who
have operated in Los Angeles the past
week were run down in the Southern
Pacific freight yards at Yuma, Ariz., by
detective of the railroad and the '1ong'
man is now in Jail at Yuma, but the
shorter one broke away from the detec-
tive, who was alone, and it is believed
that somewhere out in the Arizona des-
ert the short man of saloon holdup
fame is being pursued by the tireless,
relentless rangers of that section
The robbery of the Hot Rivet saloon
at Main and Redondo streets was get
away job for these two knights of the
highway, and when they vanished
through the side door of the Zumwalt
establishment after having robbed the
cash register of S10S.5O they made their
way directly to the Southern Pacific
yards and within half hour after the
robbery were speeding their way south
and east as passengers on the rods OF
a through freight.
This is shown by the circumstances as
developed last night. While the detec-
tives and the plain clothes men at cen
trail station were specializing as to
whether these two bandits would attempt
to pull off another job during the night
telegram was received by Captain of
Detectives Paul Flammer which stated
that the long man was in jail at Yuma.
The telegram was signed by Gus Living
ston, the sheriff at Yuma, and the fur
ther information was given that the ar
rest had been made by Special Officer
A. M. King of the Southern Pacific rail-
road, who had caught both the men in
box car in the railroad yards but that
being alone and no help near the short
man managed to escape
The arrests were made on the descrip-
ton furnished the officers by the Daily
Bulletin, the little police paper issued by
the officers of Chief of Police Kern.
Description Sent Ahead
The day after the robbery was COM
mitted the Bulletin was issued and placed
in the mails. The fast train overlook
and passed the freight on which the two
men were beating their way, and when
the train pulled into Yuma the officers
there already had the information OF the
robbery and the description of the men
who had committed It,
Officer King, who Is brave and ex-
perienced man, spotted the two high
waymen in an empty box car on the
siding.
1t was evident that they were trying to
keep out of the way until an eastbound
train was made up and pulled out
He arrested both men, but being alone
was able only to hold one of them. The
short fellow broke away and ran, and 1t
was a case of keeping one prisoner or
losing both. The officer stayed by the
long man and landed him in the county
Jail.
Extradition papers will be asked for at
once from Governor Gillett and officers
will be sent to Yuma to bring him back.
Sheriff Livingston gave the description
of the short man who escaped to all the
other officers in that section and two
of the rangers took his trail at once. 1t
is believed that he will be run down and
captured within twenty-four hours.
