FRISCO TREASURY SHY.
Some $4,000 Is Reported Gone-Arrests
Made.

San Francisco.-In the endeavor to
fix the responsibility for a shortage of
$37, 500 in the city treasurer's office, n
committee of investigation has made
the unexpected discovery that funds to
the extent of $4,000 more are missing
and criminal prosecution is foreshad-
owed in the arrest of Tomalty, a clerk.
For nearly two years it has been
known that there was a shortage in the
treasury office of over $4,000. Off
cials of that Office all disclaimed re-
sponsibility, and an effort was made to
connect the missing money with Ed
Smith, a former tax collector, who is
serving time in the penitentiary for
forgery. 1t was not until the comp
troller, through the attorney general,
instituted an action to recover $4,000
of the states money, included in the
missing funds, that any legal steps
were taken to clear up the mystery.
Expert accountants were employed
and in their reply they have uncov-
cred a shortage of 100000 and declared
that the money was taken during the
term of former CITY Treasurer Charles
A. Bantel, whose deputy was David
Davis. Tomalty, the bookkeeper, had
filled the same position under the adj
ministration of John McDougal and
when an expert in handwriting declared
that the books had been altered he was
summoned and subjected to an exam
ination that lasted five hours.
Up to the last, it is said he declared
his innocence He. is said to be in Gus
tody. City Treasurer Bantel is said
to have been the only official who had
entry to the vaults. No action has
been taken with regard to either

Visitors-City Gaily Decorated.

Annoy, CHINA, Oct. 2T.-Order is being
rapidly established at the reception
grounds, where the recent typhoon
wrought destruction. Structures have
been replaced and the original plans
for the entertainment of the officers
and men of the American fleet Friday
and Saturday of this week are likely to
be carried out in full. 1t had been in
tended to install wireless telegraph
system, but this probably will not be
done, as there is no expert to carry out
the work. All classes consider the visit
of the Americans highly important
event. The schools will close for a
week, and the customs house, the consul
atcs, banks and large mercantile houses
will close at ii a. m. each day.
The revolutionist plot which was un-
earthed Sunday causes great anxiety,
the government officials fearing that it's
qualifications may be far-reaching. The
object of the revolutionists was the as
sassination of high Chinese officials dur
ing the reception. Extraordinary pre-
cautions are being taken and will be ex-
tended during the stay of the fleet here,
and particularly during the functions.
Pisa Peaceful Pleasures.
The attempt of the remnant of the
American boycott association to organ
ize demonstration has proved a COM
plete failure, and any open attempt on
the part of any person or organization
to interfere with the festivities in hon
or of the American visitors will be met
with severe punishment.

ton has arranged for the reading and
rest rooms and will distribute free
tickets for refreshments to the men. A
branch postoffice will be established in

have been planned. The general decor

atoms, especially in the grounds, will be
equipped. Shiploads of ported plants
have been brought from Canton, these
including vast collection of dwarfed
trees more than 800 years old. A fleet

ated with red, white and blue and yell
