SUSPECTED FRAUD
 IN A CROCK GEE

The United States authorities have come into possession of what they be- lieve to be fraudulent "chock gee" or Chinese certificate. It was found in the hands of Tang Sang an employe of the American Kitchen, a highly in telligent Chinaman and perhaps the best speaker of English among his countrymen in this city.
 It was found sometime ago by the Chinese inspector for this district and his suspicion was aroused by the anit- quated appearance of the body of the certificate and the newness of the photograph of Tang Sang. The paper which had been issued in 1904 by United States Commissioner Wellburn at San Francisco was yellow and worn and creased. The photograph was bright and apparently new. It was the belief of the inspector that the cer- tificate had been issued to another man and had been made to serve the purposes of the other who had merely called himself Tang Sang.
 On this theory Tang Sang was ar rested and released on bond. In the meantime United States Attorney Al eXander sent to Washington for a copy of the original. These c srtifi- cate are issued in triplicate. The ori- ginal is given to the Chinaman, the is suing officer retains a copy and the other is sent to the bureau at Wash ington. The three are as nearly alike as it is possible for things in this world to be. The photograph of the Chinaman is pasted in the lower left hand corner and on the upper elge of it is written his name in red ink. This name is so inscribed that par; of it extends over on the body of the certi- ficate. The number of the certificate, also is written in red ink is partly on the photograph and partly on the body of the certificate.
 The governments copy of Tang Sang's chock gee arrived yesterday. The photograph on it is a quite differ ent photograph. Moreover a part of the name of Tang Sang was found in red ink under the edge of the photo graph as well as a part of the number indicating that the photograph had been put on after the inscription was made and not before.
 Judge Baker who has charge of the case for the Chinaman asked that :he matter be allowed to go over for a week and the request was granted by United States Court Commissioner Johnstone.

A REMARKABLE RECORD.

Few American business houses had any hope, when the financial panic struck the country with such sudden and overwhelming force last October, that they would be able to show a business gain for the fiscal year 1907- 0& The most they hoped for was to weather the storm as best they might and patiently wait for better times. Undoubtedly this faftering attitude on the part of many large manufacturing and mercantile concerns was largely responsible for the slow return of confidence. The general lack of az gressiveness caused more real busi- ness depression than any actual scarcity of money.
 An examination of the business re- ports of the last twelve months shows that there were some exceptions to the prevailing tendency toward re- trenchment Conspicuous among such concerns is the well known shoe manufacturing firm of Roberts, John- son and Rand Shoe Go. of St. Louis. This enterprising firm, instead of banking it's fires, and shutting off steam did just the opposite. They shoveled in more business fuel in the
 
 They put on every ounce of steam at their command, opened wide the throttle and while in many quarters the wheels of commerce were clogged and barely did revolve, with the Rob- erts, Johnson and Rand Shoe Com pany, they moved. In the face of ad- verse conditions. this firm was able to show an actual increase in busi- ness. This showing is all the more remarkable when it is recalled that the Roberts, Johnson and Rand Shoe Company is but ten years old, has ten gains to it's credit and its shipment for the past 12 months exceeded ID millions of dollars.
 They confidently expect this year to show a gain over any previous year. Their confidence is based upon the absolute knowledge that in their fam ous Star Brand Shoes" they have mt all the shoe value that a com bination of honest material, skilled workmanship, modern equipment, and an intimate knowledge of the needs and wants of the people can pro- duce. Their confidence that they will continue to grow in the future as they have in the past IS turtner strengthened by their unwavering be- lief in the vast resources or this country, and that as the nation grows and prospers, there will be steadily increasing demand for dependable shoes.
 The ten big speciality factories of this concern afford ample facilities for manufacturing Star Brand Shoes in almost unlimited quantities In fact, the daily capacity is 52'oOO pairs' Each of these immense factorles IS under the direct supervision Of su- perintendent who is specially selected
 because of his superior knowIe( ge Il

to the wearers of shoes than ever; because, while it is true that there are other brands of good shoes Star Brand Shoes are Better" How well they have succeeded is forcibly illustrated in the fact that at the present time three million people-(an average of one person in every thirty two in the United States-wear Star Brand Shoes the year round, and over fifteen thousand successful merchants sell them.

constructing the particular grade of shoes produced under his direction, whether they be Patriot s4.00 shoes for men-Society s350 shoes for wo- men-or Eternity school shoes for children: and the further fact that in each factory the most rigid examina- tion is made, makes it almost impos- sible for an imperfect pair of Star

ANOTHER SUCCUMDS
To POISONED FOOD
Wife of Vallejo Bandman, the
Mother OF Six Children,
Is Second Victim
Special Dispatch to The Call

tSPSc4dl OispdtC1 20 Inc. Odl4J
VALLEJO, Dec. 15.-The second ia
tality from the Mare island luncheon
occurred yesterday. when Mrs. August
Rose of this city died from the efects
of the tainted food Mrs. Rose had
been i'll at a Vallejo senatorium. Her
condition was aggravated by complica-
tions. The case is particularly sad
children. The oldest is a lad of 10
years and the young gest is a babe in
arms: Her husband is member of the
naval band at the navy yard.
The death of Mrs. Rose has come
within a week of that OF James c.
Reynolds, the waiter. who was stricken
shortly after partaking of the luncheon
,at Vallejo. The second tragedy has
given the investigation into the poison
ing a fresh impetus and the authorities
are determined to use every means to
fasten the responsibility.
The inquest into the death of Reyn-
olds will be held on Thursday morn
ing if present plans carry. Coroner
Leland has summoned as witnesses all
persons who have any knowledge of
the case. At the hearing the chemists
who have examined the food supplied
at the luncheon will make their report.
DR.. Martin Regensburger. president
of the state board of health. received
word from the state chemists at Berke-
ley yesterday that the particles of food
given them for examination were in
such condition that a satisfactory
analysis was impossible.
The charge has been made in Vallejo
that John Teschner. a caterer of that
city, had offered bribe of $50 to John
3. Dale, a member of the committee
to assist him in securing the contract
to provide the luncheon.
In a communication addressed TO a
Vallejo paper. Teschner has admitted
that he rendered sum of money tc
Dale, but he claims that il was not in
tended as a bribe. Teschner may be
called as a witness at the inquest tc
assist the authorities in bringing out
the full facts in regard to the food
served at the luncheon.

KING OF ENGLAND
is GRIfvOUSLY Ill
British Ruler Feels Gravity Of
Situation and Prince OF
Wales Shoulders Duties
Especial Gable to The CALI

Especial Gable to The Call
LONDON, Dec. 15.--The royal family
and physicians who are attending
King Edward are deeply concerned
over his condition. Nothing but re-
assuring news is given to the public,
but the kings health is such that the
mask must soon be thrown off and
the fact that a grievously i'll man is
upon the throne of England must be
recognized.
That the king himself realizes the
gravity of his illness is shown by the
fact that he is rapidly unloading many
of his responsibilities upon the shoul-
ders of the prince: of Wales.
Hitherto the prince has been merely
an ornament in the English scheme of
government. but of. late he has taken
up many of the tasks of his father
and is consulted on all important
matters.
4 The prince has established head
quarters in Bucking CHAM palace, to be
close at hand whenever wanted. While
not brilliant he is said to show tn-
expected aptitude for his new duties.
The most alarming feature of the
kings illness is the reappearance of
the symptoms that preceded the opera
ton for an abdominal trouble in 1902.
He suffers much pain and has lost con-
siderable weight
