J. D. BROWN
 PLUNDfRfR Is Still Unable to Furnish
 Bail
Action Begun for Receiver ship for His VictimiZed Bank.

San Francisco, Dec. 9. - Attorney General Webb this afternoon commence ed proceedings in the superior court for the appointment of a receiver for the suspended California Safe Deposit and Trust O., whose president vice president and general manager are un- der arrest for embeZZlement. The stockholders as we'll as the officials and directors are made defendants. Judge Coffey issued a temporary re- straining order preventing the officials and directors from disposing of the banks assets in any way pending the hearing for the appointment of a re- ceiver on the application of the attor- ney general.
 The reduction by Judge Dunne of the bail fixed in the warrant for J. Dalzell Brown, general manager of the institution from s200,000 to S75.000 and of the bail of w. J. Bartnett, vice pres ident from $200.0O0 to $75,000; . run on the safe deposit vaults of the closed bank, caused by a rumor that the boxes had been footed; a meeting this afternoon of some of the stockholders at witch committees were appointed to demand the resignation ot the di- rectors and to examine the assets and confer with the depOsitors at a meet ing of the depositors tonight, were the developments of the day in connection with the failure of the company.
 After futile attempts all afternoon, to secure bOndsmen, Brown was returned to the city prison tonight. Bartnett was more successful and was released this evening. President David F. Walker is under arrest at Santa Bar bara and will leave tomorrow for this city. in custody of Detective Sergeant Matherson of the local police. Neither Brown nor Bartnett would discuss the arrest and the situation beyond declar- ing their innocence of any wrong dO- ing Brown insisted that the institu- tion is not insolvent and complained that the reports published of the con dition of the bank are unfair.
 "I still contend" said he, that the assets, although at this time hard to realize upon, are far more than the liabilities. If the stockholders and the depositors will come together. and be reasonable. and each make concessions. the depositors will be paid dollar for dollar. As to the disappearance of the Colton estate securities. I am in- nocent. and beyond that, l can say nothing" Bartlett would make no statement regarding his connection with the bank, it's alleged mismanag ge- ment or what became of the COlton estate bonds and stocks which by him were placed in the institution.
 A rumor gained circulation today. that the footing of the bank extended to the safe deposit boxes. which are among the largest in the city. In con- nection with this rumor. there was quite a run on the boxes this after noon. Anxious lessees of the boxes gathered around the doors of the vault of that department and as rapidly as they could be handled. they went to

They arc i= 10 Dagger, but it Will Take Time to Bring Them to the Surface.

Ely, Nev. Dec. 9.-As a result of a cave-in which occurred at the bottom of the Al>ha shaft of the Giroux Con sOlidated mines on Dec. f. two miners and pump man are entombed 1000 feet below the surface and cannot be rescued for at least two weeks.

 TELEGRAPH BUSINESS
Mail Carriers Will Be Messenger Boys" Fo- TeIeposts-The> Entering
 Wedge For Government Ownership.

New York, Dec. 9.-United States letter carriers will be the messenger boys for the delivery of ''teleposts." ." This is the name applied to messages transmitted over the wires of the Tele- post company at, the rate of % cents for fifty words. It is expected that this service will be largely used in cases where delivery Of a message within a days business hours is all that is required.
 An enormous number of telegram5 come from inland points to catch out going or incoming steamers. IL will soon be possible to send these mes sages by telepOst service at the 50- word rate, without regard to distance. delivery to steamer at the port of sail ing or arrival being by maIl. On mes sages delivered by their own boys the Telepost cOmpany's rate IS twenty-five words for p cents, between any two Joints.
 This is the first time the United States mail service has been enlisted in the telegraph business. and advo- cates of government ownership see in the event an entering wedge for the ac- complishment Of their aim to make telegraph service as much a part of post offices business as the carrying of mails.

 The executive committee of the Min
 CTS Union has been in session nearly all day but no statement has been is sued in answer to the one sent out by the mine owners. the contents of which had been anticipated by the miners. IT is the belief of the miners union, expressed tonight after the is suance of the owners statement, that no attempt will be made by the own CTS To do more than to clear the mines of the water that has accumulated dur ing the present week. Whether an at tempt will be made to prevent this munch being done is something that can not be determined tonight but the men say positively TO violence will be resorted to and no disturbances made on Thursday when the mines are to be reOpened. Whether the union will undertake to renew negotiations with the mine owners in an attempt to
 bring about some sort of a compro- | mise before Thursday is something that has not been discussed by the ex- ecutive committee of the union.

 where personal encounters have oc- cured, the evidence is that the dis turbaBees were caused by irresponsi- ble parties; that the union officials are ! endeayorng to prevent disorder and violence. President MacKinnon de- clared that the union put no reliance
 in the statements issuel by the asso- citation because the confidence of the
 union has been repeatedly betrayed by
 the association. He said that the re- I duct!on of wages would be considered
 at a meeting tomorrow and some plar

INFLUENCE.

Against the dark background of
sin
And cankering selfshness and
strife
Shines clear and white one
image true,
A pure and gentle woman's life,
With hushed reverence I stand,
And wrapped in holy wondering
awe,
Behold this miracle of God
This pure expression of His
claw"
And marvel!ng thus, it seemeth
That life has found a meaning
That love is greater far than hate
And all of Life is '.being true
Aye, being true, to high ideals
And noble aims. and kindly
thought,
And knowing still that good is
all,
That only sin and hate are
naught.
So, when amid the stress of life
Its seething sin, and burning
wrong,
Its hate, and greed. and cruel
strife,
And stern oppression by the
strong,
My soul shall turn it's inner gaze
Where, like a saint within
shrine
Held fast in mem'rys magic clasp
The glory of that life doth shine.
Revenge shall hide it's loathly
face
And all things false, impure,
untrue,
Will fade as in the rising sun
At morning, fades the last
nights dew.
The sting of pain and hurt of sin
The war of creeds, the doubt,
the fear
Shall cease, before this gentle
thing
And love shall prove its presence,
near.
Whate'er OF wrong hath hid my
way,
Whate'e~ of error dimmed my
sight,
That life, is pledge, someway.
somewhere,
All, will be. shall be. must be,
right
So, in hushed reverence, here,
my soul
Would at this shrine pure homage
pay
Nor deem that God should count
it wrong
That | Loves offering here
should lay.
