Fictitious Entries in Books of California
Safe Deposit and Trust Company

San Francisco. Dec. III. Dalzell Brown, the
imprisoned manager of the California Safe De-
posit and Trust Company. confessed to the Bank
Commission yesterday that fictitious entries
made in the books of the bank. Brown
had been subjected to long sweating process
by Bank Commissioners GdTrOutte and Sherer.
Finally, when he cornered. he blurted out.
Yes, it's true those entries do not represent
real transactions"
The entries which Brown has confessed were
false related to two items, each of 100000
which appeared assets of the bank These
items as recorded on the books made it appear
that the California Safe Deposit and Trust Com
pany had on deposit 100000 in each of two
New York banks.

FOOTB4LL At COLUIBI4.
Uniuer@ty Turns Ont to Cheer First
Intcrclass Game.

Real college football was played at Columbia
University Yesterday afternoon for the first time
since President Butler put the ban the sport.
All Columbia turned to the game an inter-
class contest between the sophomores and the
freshmen which the second year men by a
score OK to o When the two cleVens lined up
on South Field about two thousand spectators we're
gathered on the side lines. The game itself was
hardly up to varsity standards as both teams
played raggedIy. Still it was better than nothing
and the men put lots of spirit into their play
Practically the entire student body and q LARGO
number of the alumni attended the game and made
a gala day Of the occasion, as the granting Of
interCasS football is taken sides as the first
step in the restoration OF the game at Columbia
as an intercollegiate sport. Before and after the
game there were parades up and down the campus
and even up to DIR. Buffers office where halt
was made, but the president did not appear There
seemed to be d general impression that President
Butler was testing the feeling of the men, and if
they could support class teams they womb GET an
other chance to have intercollegiate team
The game yesterday was by far the best contest
of its kind held on the Heights since President
Butler froWned on the game. Then men pIaved
together well. but had a lamentabIe tendency to
tumble at critical times. The only touchdown or
the game came as the result of d tumble Donald
son, the freshman quarterback m1sjudged a punt
by Sanders and fumbled it his 25-yard line
heator, a sophomore, got the ball carried it
over the line after a sensational run The fraeh
had by far the lighter team but thr,, Lnor,
the game and managed 10 play all around the
sophomores. The individual work of Holyworth
Murphy and Saunders saved the day for the second
year men Neither team understood the new rules
so they were compelled to resort old fashioned
football
In the second half the freshmen played rings
around the 1910 men, and by of the forward
pass and trick plays got the ball down to the
sophomoTes 10-yard line in the lower right hand
corner of the field Here they tried the forward
pass again. but a sophomore got the ball while
the first year men were penaZed twenty yards for
holding From then on the game was rather nm
interesting, although keator managed to score on
a huke. but failed TO kick the goal. The game
ended with the ball in the sophomOres' possession
on the freshmens S0-yard line
This is the only game that will be played this
season. because of the poor condition OF the field
but 1t is stated on good authority that an intra-
mural league. composed of teams from the college
science schools, medical, law and pharmacy de-
partments, will be formed at Columbia next wear
In an effort to develop some good players for an
Intercollegiate varsity team for the fall of 1909

John w Gates. is under the ban of the Jockey
Club At a meeting of the stewards OF the
Jockey Club in the Windsor Arcade yesterday
the secretary was authorized to write to all as
sociations racing under the jurisdiction OF the
Jockey Club requesting them TO refuse all
further entries of c. L. Durnell and of any
horses in which he may own an interest
This practically amounts to ruling him OH

out of a clear sky. With their usual retlcence'
the stewards did not yake any explanation OF
their ruling. but in allprObahillty the\ were not
satisfied with his methods and the performances
Of some OF his horses.
This is not the first time that DurneH mas

e-ether with John J. McCafferty, two years ago
in California. after each had made charges
against the other as the result of a selling race

After the season closed here Durnel shipped
his horses TO California, where he has been

than Durnell for his breach of turf discipline
two years ago. and was Teinstated only during
the recent fall meeting at Belmont Park.
The report Of s. s. Rowland the steward rep
resenting the Jockey Club at the autumn meet
ing of the Washington Jockey Club, on the case
Of the horse ST. Joseph and Joe MaTrOne the
trainer, was accepted and approved. This means
that MarTone is also under the ban, as the Off
cials of the Washington Jockey Club denied him
admission to the track a Bennng after St
Joseph had been examined by Il veterinary for

suit against the Washington Jockey Club for
damages, and the case is pending.

the strong arm of the Jockey Club as both were
indefinitely suspended following the report of

inches. or If weather conditions such 10
make the ability OF the regular men OF the depart
1nent TO handle the situation doubtful.
In the last storm nine thousand loads of snow
were removed by the sweepers and drivers OF the
departnent at an extra of less than $500. If
this work had been done under the terms of the
rejected it would have cost the city more
than $I10C0 The arrangements completed yester-
day for the temporary handling OF another snow
storm are such that the cost of removal will be
several cents yard less than the cost under the
rejected contract which makes Commissioner
Croweu confident of the moderation of the bids
now pending.
The new bids for the snow removal contract have
been asked for by advertisement. and should be
