of welcome, the remainder Of the

MINT STOPS COMING
THE NEW TWENTIES
Bankers Complain Because They
Would Not Stack and
Created Confusion

The new $40 gold pieces are not CIV
ing the satisfaction it was expected
they would. 1t is true they bear the
motto, I'm God We Trust which fact
has given the persons who objected TO
its removal much satisfaction, but they
are otherwise unsatisfactory. The
present complaint comes not from the
people whose indignation was stirred
up by the action of President Roose-
welt In ordering the removal of the
words that have been on every piece
of money minted by this country since
IL has been a nation, but from the
bankers.
The trouble is the new yellow coins
will not stack, that is, will not meas
ure up equally in stacks with the old
coins of the same denomination, and
consequently have led to all sorts of
trouble in the banks, and IN some in
stances tellers' have found their cash
out of balance at night on account of
their having paid out one too many or
one too few of the coins when passing
large amounts over the counter.
So the mint, acting under order Of
Acting Assistant Treasurer of the
United States Burns, after it has coined
$430,000 of the Objectionable money,
stopped and reported to Washington
from where are daily expected new
dies which will make coins that will
not only satisfy very particular pub
lie, but the bankers as well.

from Judge Seawell yesterday restrain
ing Jennings from attempting to Sc
cure possession of OF in any way inter-
fering with HaZelton. the II year old
son of the couple. Walter H. Linforth
her attorney, informed the judge that
Jennings had made several efforts to
get the boy. Last Friday night he
went to an apartment house in Green
street, where Mrs. Jennings was stop
ping, and demanded his son. When
the demand was refused he went away,
but later returned with two detectives,
who maintained a watch during the
night. Mrs. Jennings, however, was
able to escape in the automobile of. the
police department with Hazelton, and
ever since has been in hiding in a
nearby county, fearing that forcible
means would be taken by her husband
to separate her from the boy. Lin
forth stated yesterday that now the
order has been secured Mrs. Jennings
will come out of hiding.
During the court proceedings thus
far there has been no mention of the
woman mysteriously referred to by
Mrs. Jennings in her complaint She
stated in the bill that Jennings had
avowed his love for a woman whose
name she (the plaintiff) forbore for
the time being from mentioning.

GRAND JURY EXPECTED
TO RETURN INDICTMENTS
New Evidence Will Be Submit-
ted in the Ruef Bribery
Case

Further investigation Of the affairs
Of the Market street bank will be taken
up by the grand jury this afternoon.
The most thorough investigation is to
be conducted.
The indictments returned last week
were based entirely upon certain
phases of alleged mismanagement
brought to the notice of the fnquisi-
torial body during the preliminary
hearing. A great mass of evidence
that has not yet been looked into is at
hand and is to be examined.
No effort will be made today to con-
tinue the investigation of the attempt
ed bribery of jurors in the Ruef case,
for which E. A. S. Blake was indicted
last week. although the inquiry into
the part played in the matter by Frank
J. Murphy and A. S. Newburgh, Ruefs
attorneys, has not been dropped by the
prosecution. Certain new evidence has
been gathered which tends to direct
suspicion toward Murphy and New
burgh and this will be presented at
a later date, when, If possible, all mem
bers of the grand jury will be brought
together to consider 1t. Only Is were
present at the last meeting and on the
evidence then produced the vote on
the indictments against Murphy and
Newburgh came within narrow mar
gin of the II necessary for the return
of true bills.

DUNSMOOR ACCUSED
OF TWISTING FACTS
Allegations in Case Concerning
the California Safe De-
posit Company :
Attorney U'Ren Brings Charge
Against Former Bank
Commissioner

That Charles II. Dunsmoor. the ex-
bank commissioner. knew positively OF
the insolvent condition OF the Calffor-
MIA safe deposit and trust company
when in December 8. 1906. he reported
that the bank was solvent. is the ac-
cusatiUn made I'm an amended com
plant for st6,770 filed yesterday by
Henry $. Russ against the bank COM
missioners. Milton URen, attorney
for Russ. has recently secured very
interesting depositions from Duns-
moor. commissioner Zoeth s.
Eldridge (now president of the Bank
OF the Paciflc). Receiver le Breton, j.
Cal Ewing, and others. and the result
of the damaging information thus OBJ
tained has been Incorporated in the
amended complaint URen says he
will report the circumstances to the
district attorney. with the request that
Dunsmoor be indicted for publishing
false reports.
Eldridge, who resigned in August,
1905. in an examination of the books
of the bank in July, 1905, ascertained
that the institution was practically
insolvent, that it had a cash reserve
of less than per cent. instead of 20
per cent, as the law insists, and that
large sums were loaned to directors
and irresponsible companies. 1t is al
legged in the complaint, that Eldridge
before resigning personally drew the
attention of Dunsmoor and of Com
missioner Herman Silver to this state
of affairs, and the three officials dis
cussed the matter. Furthermore.
Eldridge wrote a notification to the
bank calling upon it to discontinue the
wrongful practices. Both Dunsmoor
and Silver knew of the written notice,
but it Is alleged that neither of them
ever ascertained whether it had been
obeyed.
After the examination made by
Eldridge in July, 1905, no further ex-
animation of the bank books was made
until December, 1906, when Dunsmoor
conducted what the complaint calls a
cursory examination lasting only two
days He then reported that the bank
was solvent.
Although all the commissioners and
several commissioners are sued.
this suit is directed especially at
Dunsmoor and Silver" stated Attorney
U'Ren yesterday. They are the men
to blame. and Dunsmoor in particu-
lar. He knew absolutely of the state
Of the bank, and yet he had the nerve
in December, 1906, to report that 1t
was solvent"
The complaint also states that
Dunsmoor. who is a stock and bond
broker, while bank commissioner, sold
securities for the bank on commission.
The defendants sued are Dunsmoor,
Silver, John c. Currier, John c. Lynch,
Charles H. Garoutte, n. Blackstock.
and Henry S. Sherer. They are all
accused of neglecting their duties as
commissioners and Of having pub
lished untrue reports. The S16.770

LOAN ASSOCIATIONS
IN GOOD CONDITION
Commissioners Report That In
stitntions Passed Through
Panic Without Trouble
Recommend That State Tax Be
Based on the Paid In
Capital

That the building and loan associa-
tions of the state OF California passed
through the recent financial panic With
out trouble is the statement made by
Commissioners ]. p Transue and Albert
Lindley in their report just submitted
to Governor Gillett The report COW
ers the fiscal year ending Juno 80,
1908, and declares that the wisdom OF
the existing laws has been demon
strated. Only one change is recon-
mended. and that. concerns the corpora
tion license tax, which has been a
source Of complaint among the associa-
tionS.
The objection to the tax is ascribed to
the fact that it is based upon the author
ized incorporated capital instead OF the
paid in capital Of the corporation. The
present law, say the commissioners, is
particularly i'll suited to the smaller
cities and towns, and the recommends
tion is made that the statutes be
amended to permit the formation OF
building and loan associations with or
without capital stock"
Speaking of the manner in which
the associations passed through the
financial stringency, the commissioners
say:
THE wisdom of the existing laws has
had practical demonstration during
the period of financial depression that
has existed during the last year, and
the building and loan associations have
weathered the storm and emerged In
better financial condition than they
enjoyed when the first mutterings were
heard. During this period but a very
small percentage of the associations
were forced to delay the payment of
demands for withdrawal beyond the
period fixed in their bylaws, and when
we pause to consider the conditions and
remember that very close to 80 per cent
of the assets of these associations is
loaned on long time mortgage loans, 1t
is apparent that the average demands
have not exceeded the average income.
mo association in this state has been
forced to suspend operations as the re-
suit of the late financial panic. The
feeling of distrust that has permeated
be slowly but surely fading away, and
is being succeeded by an atmosphere
of normal confidence"
The commission reports that 100 To-
Gals and seven state associations oper-
ated in California during the year. The
assets of the locals reached total of
$11, ,925, ,423.19 and of the state organiza-
tions $7,710,24475. The profits of all
concerns for the year were reported as
s1,194, 1859. The membership for the
year amounted to 31142, with 1925
borrowers.
Two associations were instructed to
wind up their business and are now in
liquidation.

TO EMPLOY LAWYER
Major Ruckman Will Probably
Retire From the Court
Martial

A court martial of Captain Solomon
Avery Jr., accused of embezzlement of
$1.40o company funds, began yesterday
at the Presidio.
Continuance was obtained by Captain
J. w. c. Abbott, Avery's counsel, until
Monday morning. Lack of time to pre-
pare pleas In answer to the new charges
against his client, and illness of Major
John w. Ruckman, associated with him
in the defense, were the grounds. In
citing them Captain Abbott stated that
Avery wished to employ a lawyer from
civil life in Major Ruckmans place.
