City Officials Busy.
Yesterday Mayor wentworth, Supt
Vedder and their men were kept busy
seeing that ,e bitches were opened,
the water mains safe and the streets
free from floods. 1t was no little
task to keep the bitches under the
culverts open owing to the great
masses of leaves that have just fallen
in the bitches and cutters and were
inclined to block the culvert open
ings. However, the water was kept
moving pretty well and little serious
damage was done to streets, side
walks, etc.
Many Cellars Flooded.
Not a few private cellars in the
city were flooded owing to the fact
that poor arrangements had been
made by property owners to keep the
water out. from under their houses.
Reed Block Suffers.
Owing to the fact that the regular
roof of tie Reed block, corner of
Fourth and Main, has been raised to
permit the building of the second
story. much water got through into
the store rooms below and some of
the tenants report that they were
damaged considerably.
rev People on Streets.
There were but few people stirring
yesterday in the city owing to the
disagreeable conditions. Church SER
vices, the auditorium mass meetings,
Sunday schools, and other services,
drew very small attendance. The
streets were very muddy.
Little Damage in County.
Some damage was done to irriga-
ton bitches and roadways in the
county districts but no great damage
was done. The big bitches were all
carefully watched.
Telephone Lines Out.
Yesterday, last night and today
telephone communication between
Grand junction and many outside
points was cut off owing to the lines
being down. The service may not be
in good working order for another
day or two.

THREE SHIFTS OF CLERKS
RECEIPT FOR MAIL BAG

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, June 10.-The
registered mail pouch from Los An
geles that disappeared at Kansas City
last Saturday was delivered from an
incoming Rock Island train to the
transfer station at the Union station,
Kansas City, but there is no receipt to
show that it was forwarded from here.
BY Sunday morning it was known
that 1t was not going forward. for the
authorities at Washington telegraphed
w. J. Vickory inspector in charge
here, of the circumstance. No trace OF
the pouch has been found by Mr..
Vickery.
Ten men are employed in the transfer
station. The facilities for handling the
mail have been inadequate since the
fire that partially destroyed the rail-
road station some months ago, and 1t Is
not possible to guard the mail as 1t
should be guarded.
On the pouch leaving the Los Angeles
office it was receipted for by the trans
fer man, and he in turn got a receipt
for it from the railway mail clerk who
took 1t on his car. Three shifts of rail-
way mail clerks, all working in the
same car, receipted for this pouch
through to Kansas City, the last man
to handle IT eastward getting receipt
for it at the Kansas City Union station.
His receipt shows that he brought the
pouch here and that the number on the
rotary lock was the same as that with
which IL was closed in Los Angeles.
There were eight registered pouches
from Los Angeles on the train, three of
them for New York. There was moth
ing to indicate which of the three con-
tanned the $4,000 which is now reported
To have been sent in one of them.

LOS ANGELES MAIL
POUCH IS MISSING
REPORTED STOLEN AT KANSAS
CITY
Contained Registered Mail for East
and Rumor Credits II with Con-
taInlng Fifty Thousand
Dollars
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
KANSAS CITY, June 10.--A regis
tered mail pouch, EN- route from Los
Angeles to New York, is reported to
have been stolen at Kansas City some
time Saturday night last.
While no definite statement can be
secured from the local postal inspec-
tors, it Is admitted guardedly that a
very valuable pouch is missing. From
one quarter 1t is stated that the pouch
contained several thousand dollars. an
other source placing it as high as
$50, 900. These statements are without
verification, however and local postal
officials say that at this time any Of
fetal information must come from the
postoffice department at Washington.
w. j. Vickery, one of the postoffice in
spectors. admitted to the Associated
Press this afternoon that he is at work
on the case, but he declined to give any
details. He stated that while Il was
believed pouch had disappeared
while in this district, he could not
make the positive statement, as the
pouch started from a point other than
Kansas City and was destined beyond
here, hence the details must come
from another source.
All through mail here is transferred
at the union depot sub-station in
Kansas City. Several months ago fire
practically destroyed the sub-station
and since that time it has been in tenn
porary quarters. 1t is said the sys-
TEN of caring for the mail has been
rather lax This has been attributed
as a possible reason for the disappear
ance of the pouch In question.

DISTRICT ATTORNEY MORAN
is TUBERCULOSIS VICTIM
Is Obliged to Leave Boston for Adj
rondacks for Indefinite Period,
but Takes Cheerful View
of Situation

BOSTON, June 10.-The announce
ment today that District Attorney John
Brown Moran of Suffolk county was af-
flicted with tuberculosis and would be
obliged to leave Boston at once for the
Adirondacks for an indefinite period
marks hating place in the career of
one Of the most picturesque characters
in the commonwealth.
My physician tells me I've got to
destroy the tuberculosis bugs or they
will destroy me-" said Mr.. Moran to-
night Its tough news, but / told my
physician that the germs might get
the best of me for awhile possibly, but
L will get the best of them In the end;
for after I'm dead I'll have my body
cremated, and burn them alive.
IF can I'm going to come back to
Massachusetts, and be governor of this
state yet"
BY his indomitable will John B. Mo-
ran forced himself into the public eye
as few other men have, done in this
state. He has been elected district at
torney twice as an independent, and in
1906 ran for governor on four tickets.

IN DEFENSE OF THE
DELICIOUS BlvALvE>
Italian Biologist Destroys Many Pet
Superstitions Concerning the
Luscious oyster-Anent
Months with "R"

From Italy. according to German
sources, comes an enthusiastic dis
claimer of the bad favor into which
the oyster has recently fallen. In his
biological notes. the Rivista d'Italia
prints long and elaborate scientific
refutaton of the crimes laid at the door
of oyster eating. Along with this de-
Tense goes the destruction of many of
our pet superstitions about the oyster.
The belief, as prevalent In Italy and
France as with us, is that oysters are
not At to eat during those months with
out an "r" in their names is declared
to be entirely without foundation. 1t
Is pointed out that during several fetes
in summer oysters have been eaten in
great quantities In italy without any
bad effects. Further than this. the
oyster is claimed to have much more
nourishment In 1t than is generally
thought, and owing to the great ease
of digestion, Is a valuable food, the use
Of which it is pity to lose through I'M
founded prejudice.
A long series of laboratory expert
ments seem to show pretty conclusive
ly that the few diseases to which the
oyster Is subject do not affect the hui
man organism. There remains the
possibility of the mollusk carrying the
germs Of typhoid In the water which
surrounds 1t, and which. though harm
less to It's own life, are fatal to hui
manity. The experiments carried on in
Rome show a new and surprising dis
like all warm-b looded animals, exerts
positive bactericidal and antiseptic
action on the typhoid germ. and 1t has
therefore been argued that the oyster
may be the best preventative for ty-
phoid fever.

MONEY AWAITS SON IF
FOUND WITHIN MONTH
Donor of Wealth Has No Certainty
That Beneficiary Lives or Was
Even Born - Lawyers
Search for Heir

NEW YORK, June 10.-A small for
tune awaits the mysterious son OF
Mary Frances Rien and Martin Bull
winkel, If he can be found within a
month. If he is not found within that
time the estate from which he would
get the money will be closed up, the
money going to his mother.
Mary Frances Rien, daughter of
John c. Rien, was married to Martin
Bullwinkel on May 81, 1883. 1t cannot
be stated absolutely by the lawyers
that the young woman bore son, but
the last wife of old John c. Rien says
that when Martin Bullwinkel died on
February 5, 1908, in Hoboken the old
man upon hearing of the death ex-
claimed:
Now I'll have TO look after Mary
Frances child"
The executors lawyer has been in
formed that there Is on file with the
health department q record of the birth
of this son. He has asked for copy
of the record.
John C. Rien died January 5, 1906.
The estate was worth about $4,000.
His will left $4,000 to be divided into
two parts. One part was to go to the
children of a stepson; the other $4,000
was to be held in trust for any child
or children of Mary Frances Rien and
Bullwinkel until his majority. If,
however, there was no living child of
this daughter at the time of his death
then this $4,000 was to go to the
daughter herself.

By Associated Press.

ALBANY, N. Y, June 10.-Veterans
Of many campaigns confess that their
memories lack a complete parallel to
the extraordinary situation existing
here tonight on the eve of the second
struggle in the senate over the bills
embodying the renewed recommended
ton of Governor Hughes that the legal
discrimination be abolished which for
thirteen years has practically protected
public gambling at race tracks in this
state.
A conference of the Republican sem
ators late today agreed upon limita-
ton OF the debate which would have
brought the bills to a final vote proba-
bly, late tomorrow afternoon or in the
evening. This was followed by a meet
ing of the finance committee to consider
the Joint resolution adopted some time
ago fixing the hour for final ADJOURN
ment of the extraordinary session at
o'clock tomorrow afternoon.
In this committee meeting Senator
Grady, Democratic minority leader
who has led the opposition to the anti
gambling bills, surprised everybody not
in his confidence by suddenly agreeing
for his own part that debate should De

FAL SIFlED ACCOUNTS TO
REMOVE COMMISSIONER
!. DaIzeIl Brown Gives Interesting
Testimony In Trial of Walter J.
BARNETT for Embedding
Cotton Securities

SAN FRANCISCO, June 10.-Testi-
mony tending to prove the Justification
of the books of the California Safe De-
posit and Trust company in an effort
made to remove one of the state bank
commissioners who was inquiring too
closely into the standing of the bank;
the hypothecation of securities placed
in the keeping of the bank as security
for loans to the bank, and the sale OF
securities finallv to secure money to be
used in financing companies controlled
by the bank, was shown in the trial OF
Walter J. Bartnett, former vice presl-
dent and chief counsel of the California
Safe Deposit and Trust company, dur
ing the direct examination of j. DalZell
Brown, former general manager of the
bank, today.
Bartnett is being tried for the en-
bezzlement of the Cotton securities
while administrator of the estate.
He, as administrator of the estate
nlaced the securities in the bank vaults
for safe keeping, and 1t is alleged oy
the prosecution that he used the securi-
ties to secure money for the bank and
finally sold them in New York. Ac-
cording to an order of the court MADE
during the morning session. the testi-
vet to come must be confined to the
specific act committed by Bartnett on
May Is. 1907.
The testimony of Brown and of local
representatives of e. f. Hutton d Co
of New York, who purchased some OF
the Cotton securities on that date, was
to the effect that Bartnett was the man
responsible for the deal, although II
was actually carried out by other Off
cfals of the bank and Allan Grifhths, q
brother-in-law of BARNETT. The re-
markable part of the testimony OF
Brown was made during the afternoon
session today and was to the effect that
Bartnett persuaded him that he was

forces would not take part in any cam
paign for the second place on the
ticket.
The leaders of the allies adopted the
attitude that it had not been custom
airy for the party to consider the wee
presidency until after the first place
on the ticket had been filled and that
there was no present reason to depart
from this precedent. What discussion
was heard centered largely about SEN
ator Dolliver of Iowa and Secretary
Cortelyou Lafayette Loung, one of
the delegates at large from Iowa, said
today that the friends of Senator Dol
liver in his own state were not anxious
to see him leave the ranks of the sem
ators for the purpose of presiding over
the senate.
Friends of Governor Guild seemed
satisfied with the results of their work
thus far. and no announcement was
Forthcoming from the headquarters es-
tablished yesterday for John Hays
Hammond.
An indefinite rumor, which could not
be verified, but which was none the less
persistent, prevailed today to the eff
feet that Governor Hughes would not
permit his name to go before the con-
vention. This rumor, coupled with an
Associated Press dispatch from New
York, In which Timothy l.. Woodruff,
chairman of the New York state CEN
traI committee, expressed himself as
believing that his state is entitled to
the second place on the ticket If Gov
ernor Hughes is not given first place,
led to much discussion as to whether
or not the governor of New York could
not be induced to accept the vice pres
idential nomination.
The entire story. however, was In
definite and could not be substantiated
in any way.
