TEST VOTE FAVORS
SIERRA WATER SUPPLY
Supervisors Decide for Hetch
Hetchy by a vote of
II to A

A test vote on comparatively un-
important motion in the board of SUI
pervisors yesterday showed the prob
able lineup of the board members or
the policy of securing the Hetch
Hetchy water supply By an Affirmative
vote of IL to 4 the board sidetracked
an attempt to delay proceedings. Pol
lok had offered an apparently harm
less measure that the grant of the
secretary of the interior be referred to
the city attorney for dissection. Clan
mini, head of the public utilities COM
mittee, at once responded that the
city attorney had been consulted at
every step the city had taken and that
he approved of the measures which had
been taken. He offered substitute that
the matter be referred to the public
utilities committee, which had con-
Quoted the negotiations thus far. Only
Broderick, Center, Pollok and Comte
voted for the Pollok diversion, all the
others passing a vote of confidence
practically in the public utilities COM
mittee and in the Hetch Hetchy pro-
ceedings thus far by sustaining the
reference to committee.
Architects Albert Pissis, GaIen How
ard and James Reid, sitting on the fate
of the city hall, asked for another de-
lay in the decision as to it's fate by
requesting till the oath instant before
making their report. The board and
the mayor had expected the report
yesterday, but there was nothing to do
but to request the professional gentle
men again to get together and give the
city their opinion.

OFFERS TO TAKE
THE RAISIN CROP
The j. K. Armsby Company Es-
Inmates the Fresno Output for
Year at 10000 Tons

FRESNO, Sept. Sat mass meeting
of 500 raisin growers of San Joaquin
valley, this afternoon, the ]. K. Arms
by company offered to buy 80 per
cent of the unsold portion of this years
first crop of standard quality Muscatel
raisins at four cents per pound.
The Armsby company estimated that
this years crop will not exceed 10000
been sold by the growers. A shortage
the east is anticipated by the Armsby
people, while other packers estimate
the crop at $4,000 tons.
The offer of the Armsby people repre-
sents to- them an expenditure of not less
than s2,500,000 and, according to the
plans outlined in their proposition, this
sum will have been paid out by the first
of next year, the limit placed by them
in moving the crops. The public offer
made this afternoon marks the end of
one of the most exciting weeks in the
history of raisin growing in the San
Joaquin valley. Speculation has been
rife ever since the offer for the entire
unsold crop of raisins, without naming
price, was made week ago.
That sentiment is in favor of the
Armsby company's offer was evidenced
by demonstration at the meeting this
afternoon. 1t is generally believed that
even the rival packing concerns hope
the Armsby company will be able to
swing their deal, saying that if such
is carried out, it will be the best thing
that ever happened to this portion of
the state

REALTY MAN FACES
CHARGE OF FRAUD
Job Seeker Alleges He Paid $3.50
for Position Which Did
Not Materialize

OAKLAND, Sept S.-Arley Town
send, real estate agent of East Oak
land, was arrested today on charge of
obtaining $3.50 by false pretenses from
E. j. Freeman, of Liese avenue, Fruit
vale. According to the story which
Freeman told the police, Townsend,
who is employed as an outside agent by
the Purity food company of San Jose,
offered to secure the complainant a po-
sition with the company. He stipulated
that Freeman must deposit $3.50 as an
evidence OF good faith. The job seeker
placed the money in Townsend's hands
and waited, but the promised job did
not materialize.
After considerable time he became
suspicious and applied for the return
of his deposit. Finding 1T Impossible to
recover his money he reported the affair
to the police and Townsend's arrest fol-
lowed. Manager Long of the Purity
food company said that Townsend was
merely employed by him as an outside
man, and that he was never authorized
to employ men for the company. A
contract, which Freeman says was
drawn up and signed by Townsend
when the money was placed in his
hands, has been turned over to the po-
lice as evidence against the accused
man.

GAMBLING IN SLOT
MACHINES STOPPED
Police Take Measures to Stamp
Out Evil Practices at
Cigar Stands

Stringent measures to stamp out a
new form of slot machine gambling, al
legged to have originated among Fill
more street cigar dealers, have been
begun by the police department. Sew
eral arrests have already been made,
and Captain Gleeson has notified every
saloon keeper to stop games.
The cigar stores in trouble are those
which have displayed a sign offering
double premiums on the slot machines
and an additional So in cash or trade
to the winners of certain hands.
The system is said to have been
started on Saturday night at the store
of Charles Marx, alias Harris, at 1041
Fillmore street. Complaints were made
because of the crowd that gathered,
and Marx and four of his clerks, Will
liam Clark, Ralph Emerson Charles
and Ralph Palmer were ar
rested by Detectives Leo Bunner and
T. F. O'Connell on charge of con-
Quoting a gambling game. Other cigar
dealers followed the system and on
Sunday James H. Spain of 1916 Fill
more street, Frank Williams, alias Tiny
Holmes, of Sutter and Fillmore streets,
and Thomas Shortall of 1742 Fillmore
street were arrested. When the cases
were called in the police courts yester-
day, Attorney Samuel M. Shortridge,
representing the defendants, secured
continuances until September Is.

RUNAWAY BOY
LIVED IN A TREE
Frank MasOw Hid Near His
Home While Police of Bay
Cities Hunted
Son of Contractor Had Fled
From Mount Tamalpais Milf
tary Academy

BERKELEY, Sept. S.-Fearful of
punishment because often he had run
away from home, Frank r. Masow, a
youngest son of Frank r.. M@ow, a
prominent contractor of this city,
whose home is in College avenue, was
afraid to go home, and lived in a tree
for a week, near his fathers place of
residence. During the day he for
aged the neighborhood for food. Mem
bers of the Masow family denied, a
week ago. that young Masow was
missing, and not until today was 1t
learned that he had taken leave with
out the formality of a goodby to the
principal of the Mount Tamalpais mill
tary academy, near San Rafael, and
had been leading the life of a hermit
in the fashionable section of Berkeley.
Tired of the monotonous existence of
hiding by day and living in a tree
at night, the boy made his appearance
at the family residence today, and
was returned to school.
Since the boys disappearance a
week ago the Masow family has been
searching the bay cities for him. De-
tectives of San Francisco were en-
ployed and the police of all the cities
notified. 1t was thought for time
that he had tired of his books and
gone to the house of companion in
Marin county, to enjoy an outing.
A thorough search failed to reveal
his whereabouts and it was learned
yesterday for the first time that he
had been living in a tree few blocks
from his home. A boy friend saw him
and told Wanda Masow, a sister.
Young Masow was told he would not
be punished, and he came to his home
today.

THIS FISH IS ALL
HEAD AND TAIL
President Jordan of Stanford
Recipient of a Strange
Sea Creature

STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Sept. g.
A fish without any perceptible body,
but entirely given over to large head
and long tail, has been received by
President David Starr Jordan OF Stan
ford university. The unusual fish is
the gift of ]. p. Latronal and was
caught near Oceano. While the fish is
extremely rare, specimens have been
obtained before, and it is known as
The King Of the Mackerels." DR..
Jordan considers the specimen val
liable and it is said only three other
specimens have ever been obtained by
scientists. The first specimen known
was caught number of years ago in
Hawaiian waters. DR.. Jordan in 1901
succeeded in catching the second and
while in Japan learned of a third.
The peculiar fish is three inches long
and the tail starts Immediately behind
the gills, giving it a most unique ap-
pearance. The specimen will be placed
on exhibition in Jordan's large mu-
scum.
