Save Boy From Imprisonment

John Greenan, who was convicted
with three others of stealing s2s5
worth of whisky from government
bonded warehouse at S19 Sansome
street March 8, may not be guilty as
charged Martin MCGOWAN, an em-
ploye of the harbor commission. John
Greenan, the boys father, Miss Jose
phine L. Harrington and Policeman
James c. Harrington have all made
afhdavits that there is another boy
who greatly resembles Greenan and
who was a member of the Telegra ph.
hill gang. All of the witnesses for the
boy say that they have frequently
spoken to the other lad, mistaking him
for Greenan. Policeman Harrington
swore to an affidavit to the effect that
he met this boy who looks like Green
an when the latter was in the county
jail and that he spoke to him thinking
he was Greenan and that he did not
discover his mistake until several
minutes later when he learned that
Greenan was still in Jail. Greenan
together with Peter Cato, Frank Sui
livan and Nicholas Murphy was SEN
fenced to six months in the county
jail.
Judge de Haven ordered a new trial
in the case of Greenan yesterday.

LOSES BY PAY INCREASE
Retired Captain SIaden Victim
of Salary Raise

The recent advance in pay in the
United States army has caused Captain
Joseph A. sladsn. retired, to lose $4,000
or thereabouts per annuna.
Out of the 10000 officers and soldiers
who belong to Uncle SANS army he is
the only one who is not benefited by
the raise of pay that went into force
May II. Captain Sladen was retired
April s, 1883, after the loss of his
right leg from injury received in the
line of duty. Shortly after his retire
ment he was made clerk OF the United
States circuit court, with headquarters
at Portland, Ore.
The pay of a retired captain at that
time was $500. The pay of the clerk
of the court was $4,000 additional
When the new army pay bill was
passed it raised Captain Sladen's pay,
including his percentage for 20 years of
active service. up TO s2,555 per annum
Under Uncle Sans war department rul-
ings, no retired officer who receives
pay from the war department to the
amount of $500 can at the same time
receive pay from any government Office
Hence Captain Sladen was obliged to
resign his clerkship and lose his $4,000,
his army pay exceeding the mark
by $55,

With Skeleton Keys
and Candles

ing in the Twenty-third avenue door
way of the East Oakland branch of
the California Bank building early this
morning, S. A. Waller and James Kee-
nan We're arrested at the point of re-
yolvers and found to be armed. They
were equipped with skeleton keys and
candles and were lodged in the city

Policeman King, who awed them into
submission by the use of their pistols.
The men are being Investigated.
When searched at the Jail Waller
had a revolver. several rounds of cart
ridges, a bunch of skeleton keys and a
piece of candle. On keenan, the police
found a candle and dirk nearly foot
long. The men did not try to explain
their presence in the bank doorway.
Waller was charged with carrying con-
cealed weapons, and pleaded guilty in
the police court this morning. SEN
tence WAS deferred until next Monday,
and in case the police are unable to
fasten serious offenses on the two men
he will be given the extreme sentence.
A similar charge in that event will be
made against keenan,.
The bank building is situated in the
heart of an East Oakland business dis
trict. Several small burglaries in that
vicinity recently have been reported. (.
An attempt to enter the Twenty
third avenue cafe, at 114o East Four
teenth street near the bank, was dis
covered this morning. In the doorway
of the saloon were found a chisel and a
loaded revolver. The chisel had been
used to pry at the lock of the front
door keenan, had no revolver when
arrested. The police believe that he
dropped the weapon and chisel and
took refuge with Waller In the door

charged with attempted burglary.

PRESBYTfRIANS TO
MEET IN DENVER
General Assembly Favors Colo
rado City and Bonus and
Rejects SeattIe's Appeal

KANSAS CITY, May 29.-Technical
legal and administrative questions ec-
cupied most OF the sessions OF the gen.
eral assembly of the Presbyterian
church in the United States today The
routine of this procedure was relieved
somewhat by the preliminary skirmish-
ing of the adherents of Denver and
Seattle for next years assembly.
The excitement was all in the pre-
lininaries, however. as the assembly
voted almost unanimously for Denver
on the first ballot, and subsequently the
vote was made unanimous The assem-
bly, will meet In Denver on the third
Thursday in May. the time being fixed
by the rules of the organization
Denver's offer of q bonus OF SIS, 900,
her more favorable location and the
fact that the semi-centennial celebra-
tion of the Presbyterian church IN Colo
RADIO will be held IN 1909. were power
full arguments in influencing ths vote.
An overture from the German speak
ing Presbyterians asking for home rule
or Independent presbyterfes, embodied
in the report of the committee Of policy,
was of surprising Importance. The
Germans carried the matter directly to
the assembly instead of consulting local
synods, which, they thought, would not
approve the creation of new presby-
teries in their territory The general
assembly decided that final action
would be deferred until the next as
semb1y. so that local synods could be
consulted.
Former Secretary of State John w.
Foster, Vice Moderator ID. p James of
Brooklyn and Rev. Dr. Stuart Dodge
of the board of home missions were
appointed committee to confer with
the authorities at Washington in re-
gard to the interference with the work
of the American board and American
tract societies at Ellis island.

Ames, Dec. s.-At the last session of
the general assembly a special appro-
priation of $4,000 was made for agri-
cultural extension work The state
college was by this act authorized to
portions of the state and to give in
struction in agriculture whenever in
the Judgment of the college authori-
ties it was deemed advisable. The
statute provides that instruction should
be given in grain and stock judging
and that there should be given also
lectures and demonstrations on the
growing of crops and fruits, on stock
raising. dAirying, land drainage, and
domestic science. The report of the
trustees shows that in addition to
carrying on the outside work of the
department that letters, circulars and
other mailed pieces numbering more
than $4,000 have gone out under the
direction of this department alone.
public school division having for
it's purpose the promoting of agricul-
ture and domestic economy in the pub

port states that Professor Storm, the
head of this department., has met
over SsiXty public engagements, has
travelled over 5000 miles, has addressed
oranges, farmers institutes, teachers
meetings and institutes, short courses,

During the summer Of 1905 a short

in the various subjects gave illustrated
talks to teachers and conducted stud

shown proves the timeliness of taking
up this line of extension work.
The report further shows that this

How Catarrh is Contracted.

Yhe air passages of the head, throat and
lungs are lined with mucous membrane which
in health secretes thin watery liquid to
keep it moist. When person takes cold
this membrane becomes in6amed. The in
aammatlon is at FIRST acute and is easily
cured, but when cold fingers for weeks the
inflammation becomes chronic and thick,
offensive mucous is secreted. The disease at
this stage is known as chronic catarrh and 10
seldom, if ever, permanently cured. Tho
time to effect cure is when the cold is first
contracted and the Inflammation is in the
acute stage. All that is needed is bottle of
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. Take it and
a quick cure is certain. Very often chronic
catarrh is contracted in childhood. Parents
do not realize the serious consequences that
may follow and permit colds contracted by
their children to linger for weeks. As q con-
sequence the child 5eeomes afflicted with
chronic catarrh from which it never wholly
recovers. The catarrh may cause no serioss
inconvenisoce while the child is young ard
1rong but becomes burden when oldss.
