BOOKS OOPED BY
DALzELL BROWN
Manager of the California Safe
Deposit & Trust Company
Makes Confession.
WALKER TALKS TO HENEY
ATTEMPTED SUICIDE OF A DE-
POSlTOR.

san Francisco. Dec. 12.-J. Dalzell
Brown. the imprisoned manager Of the
California Safe Deposit & Trust COM
pany, has made a confession TO the
bank commission. Brown has con-
fessed that fictitious entries were made
in the books of the bank. The confess
zion VAS not exactly voluntary one,
but came after Brown had been sub
jscted to a long sweating process by
Bank Commissioners Garouette and
Sherer. Finally. when Brown was cor
nerei. he blurted out: Yes. it's true;
those entries do not represent real
transactions"
The entries which Brown has con-
fessed were false related to two items
each Of 100000 which appeared as as
sets Of he bank. These items, as re-
corded on the books. made IT appear
that the California Safe Deposit &
Trust company had on deposit 500 600
in cach of two New York banks.
Finally Broke Down.
Brown maintained almost TO the end
II the interview with the commission
ers that the entries represented gen.
uine assets, but when pressed further
for a complete explanation he broke
down and admitted the truth.
The discrepancies were first Giscov-
cred ia the books by Judge GarOutte of
the state bank commissioners. Commits
sioner Sherer stated this morning that
Brown made the admission that these
twO entries were false about ten days
ago.
The suspension of the California
Safe Deposit & Trust company has
placed q large number of army off,
GERS in an embarrassing position. Al
most every officer at Fort Mcdowell
had an account in the bank. Many of
them Lad been intrusted with company
funds and had deposited them in the
Safe Deposit bank. For these funds
they are personally responsible.
The savings of the officers did not
amount 10 a great sum, but most of
the men who have been stationed here
for ANY length of time have saved a
few hundred dollars. One officer. who
had just reached California from the
east, placed $500 In the bank the day
before it closed.
Walker Talks to Heney.
President David F. Walker of the
insolvent institution. accompanied by

ton Of the bank. Its contents We're
not given out, as it is to be used in
the criminal prosecutions which are
anticipated. Manager J. Dalzen Brown
has not yet obtained bail and remains

Plans for the review of the fleet and
its subsequent departure on Monday
morning have been completed. The
.Mayflower will arrive soon after a. m,
and after being saluted with twenty
one guns, will anchor near the center
of the fleet. Flag and commanding Of
ficers will repair on board and be re-
ceived by the president. The fleet will
sail at about 10 o'clock a. m, being
preceded to the Horseshoe in Chesa-
peake bay by the Mayfiower, which will
anchor. The fleet then will pass in re-
view at ten knots an hour and in single
column. Saluting again as they pass
the ships will proceed to sea. "A search

Devotion to Duty.

There is an entire absence of enthu-
siasm, but a manifest atmosphere of
serious devotion to duty surrounding
the departure of the fleet. The orders
and the published itinerary offer little
prospect of entertainment or amuse-
ment on the route. Sea duty drills and
target practice are the outstanding fea-
lures of the trip through Magellan
Straits to the sand dunes and Indian
huts of Magdalena bay.
One or the points of complete readi-
ness marking the present status of the
fleet is to be found in the chaTt-hOuses
of the navigating officers When the
feet was first ordered to prepare for the
Pacific voyage the navigators of each
ship were supplied with specially pre-
pared charts leading down the South
Atlantic coast. leading through the
treacherous water of Magellan Straits
and along the Pacific coast to San
Francisco. Several weeks ago these
charts were supplemented by others
showing the way to Manila. Then more
recently have come lately revised charts
capable of guiding the fleet all the way
to Gibraltar The furnishing of those
charts has given rise TO gossip that
the fleet is destined eventually TO circle
the globe and that there may be some
thing more beyond Magdalena bay than
San Francisco.

Work Well Done.

The care with which the ships have
been groOmed for their forthcoming
voyage and the completeness with
which they have been stored with all
the necessities of a battleship's useful
ness in peace or war. leave no doubt
of the mobility and self-relance of the
great armed force. Even the officers
themselves are just a little bit sur
priSed at the amount of work that has
been accomplished and the quiet conf
dence that has marked every step of
preparation. If the ships were destined
for immediate conflict little more could
be done to make them ready for the
fray. The distinctive white and buff
paint, which has brought so much adj
miratiOn to the American ships when
pitted on parade against the grimy-
hulled navies of other nations would of
course have to give way i'm favor of the
safer tone of leaden gray but that is a
matter of only few hours work.
