HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS
J OF SAN JOSE EL0PE
Jay Jones and Hazel Stock
Steal to Oakland to Be
Married
STUDIES BORE THEM
Father Of Groom Says He
Has Place Ready at
Sweeping Store
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE GALL

SAN JOSE, June 5.-The mysterious
disappearance Of two high school stu
dents from this city was explained to-
day by a telegram from Oakland TO
John Stock, a millionaire hardware
dealer of this city, reading as follows:
Hazel and are married. Jay. Jay
is Jay Jones. sophomore student, ath-
lete and aged 49, His bride is a leader
in the schools social Set
The two students have been missing
since Monday, but not until tonight was
their marriage made known by the
telegram. They had been seen together
frequently about the streets and the
suspicious of the pupils of the school
were aroused when the disappearances
were reported.
While the parents of both the young
people knew that they were fast
friends, no intimation Of marriage had
ever been made. The telegram tonight,
coupled with the fact that even now
no one knows where the runaways are.
completely prostrated Mrs Stock.
Jay Jones is the son Of John Jones, a
wholesale grocer, and Is member OF
one Of the most exclusive high school
fraternities. His bride Is one Of the
most charming and beautiful young
girls in San Jose and Is said to be
wealthy in her own right.
The father of the bride said tonight
that his daughter was entirely too
young to be married and that she had
better come home at once. He seemed
quite wroth over the unceremonious
way in which the wedding had been
announced and said that his new son
in law might have wired at greater
length.
The wedding is the elimination Of a
boy and girl romance extending over
two years of high school life. They
were inseperable and many jokes
founded on their interest in each other
have appeared in the publications of
the school. Teachers have several times
warned them to pay more attention to
their studies and less to each other and
1t is said that the near approach Of
failure to pass the coming examine
tions hastened the marriage.
The father of the boy bridegroom
says that he has place ready for him
in the store, but that sweeping out is
about the limit of his mercantile at
tainments.

LIABILITY OF BANKERS
FOR FEDERAL MISTAKES
Government Institutes Six
Suits to Determine
Responsibility

Whether bank must pay to the in
jured party money collected from him
by it upon a genuine check which had
been obtained by the original payee
from the injured party by means of
false representation is an issue to be
determined in a suit filed by the United
States yesterday in the United States
circuit court against six banks of this
city. The outcome will be of great
interest to bankers throughout the
world. The facts of the case are these,
and they are admitted by all the par
ties to the controversy.
In 1904 William H. Bean, fraudu-
lently representing himself to be Frank
Halstead, a pensioner of the civil war,
obtained from United States Pension
Agent Jesse B. Fuller several pension
checks for sums agregating s21460.
made payable to Frank Halstead.
Bean discounted these checks to differ
ent persons, who in turn gave them for
collection to the Crocker- w Woolworth
national bank, the Nevada national
bank, the Bank of California, the Mer-
camille trust company, the Canadian
bank of commerce and the Anglo Cali
fornia bank The banks cashed the
checks with Julius Jacobs, assistant
treasurer of the United States. In con-
formity with a rule of the treasury
department, the banks guaranteed all
Endorsements on the checks, which
bore what purported to be the indorse-
ments of Frank Halstead and the per-
sons to whom he had assigned the in
struments.
Bean was convicted of having OBJ
tanned from the pension agent checks
calling for $214.60 by fraudulently
representing himself to be Halstead,
and on September IL of last year was
sentenced to two years Imprisonment
in the penitentiary at San Quentin.
The banks have refused to refund this
sum to the government. They take the
position that the Halstead checks were
issued to Bean by reason of negligence
on the part of the pension agent, and
that. the checks being genuinely is
sued, they were not expected to ques-
tion the authority or the discretion of
the pension agent in issuing them.
Assistant United States District At
torney George Clark, who has charge
of the suit, said yesterday that he had
been able to find two precedents in
the law books. In one of these the
decision was in favor of the govern
ment and in the other the government
was defeated.

ever, he does not specify
