1t is hoped will greatly help in the

The camera, in which is a special com

assistant, NJ Berthiot, is placed d.

By means of a very delicate appara.
tus the distance from the lens to an
imaginary plane level with a point
halfway between the orifice of the ear
and the corner of the eye is measured,
and from this distance is reckoned the
scale of the photographic number
of times smaller than the original.
The photograph when used in COM
parison with a suspect is placed in an
apparatus which is almost the exact
reverse of the camera. 1t is placed at
the given distance from the lens, and
at the same time a transparent scale
is moved into focus on the same plane.
Reading on this scale, the detective is
able to establish the exact measure
ment of the features Of the prisoner.

CLUbWOMEN BUSY
WITH POLITICS
Election Of President of
State Federation Is the
Chief Topic at Bakersfield
CONVENTION TO MEET
By Mary Ashe Miller

BAKERSFIELD, Feb. 5.-From far
and wide clubwomen are coming to
Bakersfield for the sixth annual con-
vention of the State Federation Of
Women's Clubs, which will convene
here tomorrow morning, and every
train has the appearance and sound
OF preliminary caucus as 1t draws
into the city. Several of the State
officials are already here, Mrs. Robert
Potter Hill, the State president, hav-
ing arrived on Monday
The principal question before the
delegates thus far seems to be the
matter of the new president There
is general sentiment that the honor
should go to the San Joaquin dis
trict, but 1T is by no means certain
that there is candidate in the valley
who can be brought to the belief that
she can fill the difficult position. There
are but few delegates here from Los
Angeles as yet, but it is reported that
they are strong in their desire that a
San Joaquin woman should be elected
The two candidates spoken of are
Mrs. Dixon L. Phillips of Hanford
president of the San Joaquin district,
and Mrs. James E. Hughes of Fresno
vice president at large of the State.
Mrs. Hughes was given an opportunity
last year to accept the presidency, but
declined.
4ilCiS 10 d SOOQ zeal Oh quiet eleC-
tioneering going on also in behalf of
Mrs. j. B. Hume of Berkeley, chairman
of the programme committee. This
is characterized by some as local
enthusiasm" emanating from Mrs
Hume's' friends and admirers in the
San Francisco and Alameda districts
The sentiment in her favor is growing,
however, as she has done exceptionally
fine work in arranging the programme
for this convention and Is woman of
tact and ability. Mrs. Phillips is es-
pecially popular as a presiding officer
and her district and Los Angeles are
prepared to make every effort in her
behalf.
The convention will open at 9:15 to-
morrow morning. The first session
will be devoted to a somewhat infor-
NAL discussion of matters of general
interest rather than to club affairs en-
tirely. Among the subjects to be
and societies in our high schools detri-
mental to the general welfare of these
schools?" Shall women be permitted
,, to vote in matters pertaining to the
public schools?" Shall sewing be
taught in the public schools?
Among those who will speak on the
different questions are Mrs. Alice l..
Park of Palo Alto Mrs. Charles j.
Woodbury. of Ebell Club, Oakland; Miss
Kate Lemberger,5 president of the
Southern district, and Mrs. J. r. East
man of Alameda. The formal business
of the convention will be taken up at
the afternoon session. There is great
regret that Mrs. j. E. Cowles of Los
Angeles, general Federation secretary,
is very i'll and cannot be present.

Music circles on both sides of the
bay will be extensively represented to-
morrow evening at Lyric Hail. where
little Cecil Cowles is to give her piano
recital. This 14-year- -old girl is one
of Hugo Mansfeldt's brightest pupils,
and is pronounced a genius by the
erudite in pianistic talent who have
enjoyed her remarkable technique and
expression. The wonderful promise
shown by the child Influenced Mr..
Mansfeldt to induce her to abandon all
other studies until she has acquired
to fullest extent the fame that surely
awaits her as musician. Just how
far she has advanced toward the chos-
en- goal is indicated by this pro-
gramme:

TREASURER LOSES
TOWN s FUNDS

SALINAS. Fb. 5.-John W. Rowl-
ing. for fifteen years City Treasurer
and Collector of Salinas. is alleged to
to be defaulter. The extent of
the defalcation is not definitely
known. though 1t is said to be about
$4,000. Rowling is under $4,000 bonds
in a surety company
Mayor Thomas Renison at a meet
ing of the City Council last night,
when Rowling's monthly report was
read, said that a shortage had been
discovered in the Treasurer's accounts
that he had removed Rowling from
office, but had deferred the appoint
ment of temporary Treasurer until
the expert appointed to examine the
books should have made a report
Rowling is sick abed and it is alleged
that he has confessed the shortage and
asked for time to return the money.
He has not been arrested, but is kept
under surveillance pending the report
of the expert to the Council at a meet
ing tomorrow night.
1t had been suspected for some time
that Rowling was in financial difficult
ties. He tried to procure $2500 yes
terday to tide him over the January
settlement. His failure to negotiate
the loan brought on the expose.
Rowling's only excuse is that his
salary of $50 month was insufficient
for the support of a family and the
payment of Office expenses. He was
compelled to engage in outside ven-
lures which resulted disastrously

TWO STEAMERS IN
GREAT PERIL

HALIFAX, N. S.. Feb. 5.-Two
ocean steamers, one of which is
known to be disabled and the other
thought to be, are anchored tonight
in a dangerous position at Ketch Har-
Dor, few miles west of this city,
and the lives of those on board are
in peril. The ships are less than a
quarter of a mile off shore and within
a hundred yards of the breakers. A
tremendous sea is running. The
steamers have fired several guns and
are sending up rockets, but owing
to the terrific sea no aid can be given
the vessels tonight.
The fishing schooner Morning Star.
which arrived here yesterday, report
ed that on Saturday laa she passed
the Norwegian steamer Mamma with
a broken shaft south of Seal Island
near Cape Sable. The Nanna's cap
tain requested Captain Dwyer of the
schooner to send aid as soon as he
reached port. A tug was sent from
Boston late yesterday, but was obliged
to put back on account of the storm
which was sweeping up the coast 1t
is thought that the smaller of the two
vessels reported at Ketch Harbor may
be the Mamma.
A Ketch Harbor pilot said tonight
that one of the steamers was the Mys-
tic of the Dominion Coal Company's
fleet, engaged In the Louisburg- Boston
trade.

MRS. WHITFIELD IS
FLEEING HOME

NEW YORK Feb. 5.-Fear that she
would be served with summons in a
civil and criminal action to compel
payment of dentists bill caused Mrs.
George Whittell Jr. to leave here hur-
riedly for San Francisco last night
Mrs. Whitte1l who was a "Florodora"
girl and known on the stage as
Josephine Cunningham, is the divorced
wife of George Whittell Jr., son of a
wealthy family of san Francisco. An
interlocutory decree has been signed,
but has not been made final The suit
was ascribed to her husbands family,
which had frowned on his marriage.
When the divorce proceedings were
instituted Mrs Whittell came to this
city with Mrs. C. A. Becker and took
apartments in the ST. Francis.
Dr. r. w. Bragg, a dentist, made
eleven platinum filings for her teeth
and for this and polishing he submit
ted a bill for $500. On one excuse af-
ter another she deferred payment, and
ten days ago she abruptly informed
him that she was not going to pay
the bill because it was excessive. His
attorney telephoned to her that unless
she settled the account forthwith he
would have a summons issued for her,
and supplemented this by saying that
he was about to have a second sum-
mons issued in the criminal court for
an alleged attempt on her part to re-
move property by fraud.
These threats, although they failed
to make the young woman settle the
bill, caused her to imprison herself in
her apartment a week ago Sunday and
have her meals sent in to her from a
restaurant in Longacre Square. To
mass the time she gave several dinner
and bridge parties, employing a caterer

cause OF the weight u NilS NdA anu

motormsn, impatient at the cabman
blocking his way. only partly ap-
piled the brake and then shot the
