NOTE LIABILITY DEPENDS
ON BANKS ORGANIZATION
e. r. Thomason Held Not Re-
sponsible if Washington In
stitution Never Existed

An echo of the abortive attempt made
last year to found bank to be known
as the Washington commercial bank
in connection with the Citizens state
bank of San Francisco, which has since
become insolvent, was heard in Judge
Bucks court yesterday. A suit was
tried in which the United States ma
tiondl bank of San Francisco sued E. R.
Thomason for $1,000 on a promissory
note given by Thomason to the Citi-
zens' state bank and since transferred
to the United States national bank. E.
r. Ragland, president of the Citizens
state bank, undertook to issue to
Thomson $4,000 worth of stock In the
Washington commercial bank, which
was to be formed, but Thomason claims
that as the bank was never organized
he is not liable on the note. He also
complained that the note was altered
without his knowledge or consent, max
Ing the $4,000 payable to Ragland in
stead of to the Citizens state bank.
Judge Buck intimated that If he were
satisfied the Washington commercial
bank was never organized he would not
hold Thomson liable on his note. The
case was submitted on briefs.

EUROPEAN BANKERS
TO BID FOR BONDS
SyndiCates Formed Abroad for
Purpose of Bidding on
Local Securities

Cablegrams have been received by
local bankers during the last few
days from European financial CEN
ters, particularly from Paris, in
quiring into the details of the new mu-
nicipal bond issue Several syndicates
have been formed abroad for the pur-
pose of bidding on the local securities.
In nearly every case the foreign finan-
ciers have expressed willingness to Of
fer a liberal premium. 1t was stated
yesterday by representatives of Euro
pean banks in San Francisco that the
issue would be taken at a figure that
would amount to about per cent. AS
the bonds carry 5 per cent interest,
this means that the bids will be far
above par.
The supervisors will put out in a
short time S3,2S0,000 of the new bonds.
1t is predicted that the bids will amount
in all to many times that amount
Among the local banks which have been
figuring on the issue are the Anglo
Californian and the Bank of California
Many of the local agencies of foreign
communication with their home offices
in regard to the issue.
The European banks figure that the
San Francisco bonds are the most at
tractive at present offered in America.
They have been greatly impressed with
the speed and substantial manner in
which the city has been rebuilt A great
deal of surplus capital has accumulated
in Paris which is looking for advantag-
eous investment. 1t is anticipated that
local, eastern and foreign interests will
be active competitors for the first in
stallment of bonds.

WOMAN ACCUSED OF
. SHOOTING NOT WIFE
Conductor James Kendall's Real
Better Half Indignant at
Unpleasant Notoriety
Police Deny Accident Theory
and Believe Companion In
\ tended Bodily Injury

New light was thrown on the mys-
terious shooting last Thursday night
of James Kendall, conductor of the
United Railroads, in his apartments at
446 Scott street, when it became known
yesterday that the woman whom the
police have accused of doing the shoot
ing is not his wife. Detectives are max
ing rigid investigation into the new
phase of the case. Although hoth
Kendall and the woman claimed that
the serious wounding of the man was
due to an accident, the police discovered
bullet hole through door in their
rooms, which directed suspicion to the
woman.
Kendalrs real wife, Mrs. Eta Ken
DALI appeared at police headquarters
yesterday and was indignant at the un-
pleasant netoriety she had received as a
result of the shooting. Mrs. Kendall
said that she was married in Oakland
lastg August. and separated from Ken
dali in March, owing to his cruel. treat
mentg of her. She was caused much
pain at reading that MRS. Eta Ken
DALI" the woman arrested by the po-
lice, was alleged to have shot her hus-
band in their apartments. Although
she was entirely blameless, the matter
caused her to be dismissed from her
position as a house keeper, her en-
ployers fearing that she was wanted by
the police.
Every effort will be made to learn
the identity of the woman with whom
Kendall was living when he was shot
The mans condition, while not danger
Gus, is still serious. The supposed Mrs
Kendall was released on bail two days
ago.

DRIFT 6 HOURS IN
DISABLED LAUNCH
Drs. Lampe and Fowler and w.
M. Watson Rescued by
Steamer Arrow

. After tossing about in a disabled
gasoline launch for six hours in rough
and choppy sea, DIR. w. A. Dampe and
DR.. B. l.. Fowler of Ellis and Frank
lin streets and w. w. Watson, all of
San Francisco, were picked up off Yerba
Buena island at IL o'clock last night
by the steamer Arrow, Captain OLSON,
and brought back to the city.
The rescue occurred just in time, for
the three men were chilled through
and almost exhausted in their efforts to
keep their small craft af1oat. Several
times it was completely swamped by
big waves, and only by the most fran
tic bailings were they able to save
themselves. The Arrow, crowded with
passengers bound for the city from
Monticello, was passing Yerba Buena
when out of the darkness on the star
board side Captain OLSON detected a
faint hail.
There was not even a lantern on
board, for the party had left the, city
SIX hours before, entirely unprepared
for an accident. but Olsson rang for
light he discovered the helpless plight
of the disabled launch. After maneuv-
ering for 20 minutes, the castaways
were rescued and their launch hoisted
aboard the Arrow. Passengers sup
piled the chilled and watersoaked men
with dry clothing and they were
warmed in the engine room
The launch belonged to Drs. Lampe
and Fowler. They invited Watson to
take voyage of inspection and pleas
ure with them yesterday afternoon,
and at o'clock they left the water
front on their way to Belvedere OFF
Alcatraz the crankshaft suddenly
broke. Unable even to maintain steer
age way, the launch was tossed about
at the mercy of waves and tide. Sew
.eral times big waves washed entirely
over IL. More than once an effort was
made to attract the attention OF mass
ing boats, but without success. until
DR.. Lampe's lusty hail caught the ear
of Captain Olsson.

MRS. MILES BAIRD
GETS COMPROMISE
Romance of Son of Wealth and
Divorced Wife Ends With
$4,000 Settlement

So far as the lives of Miles Baird and
his former wife, the pretty Ruth Jack
son, are concerned, the last chapter has
been written. That strange romance
which finally ended in the local divorce
courts has forever come to an end The
one lingering common interest was
money-the fortune given to his wife
by Miles in the days of their honey
moon. These tangles in finances were
Strengthened out and Mrs. Miles Baird
who was is now at liberty to drive as
far afield in her auto as fancy or desire
may prompt.
Following the legal separation Of the
Bairds it was discovered by Mrs.
Veronica Baird, mother of Miles, Dave
and Jack, all of whom have so often
occupied the spotlight of the local
show with its old tenderloin settings,
that her son, in a moment of unwar-
ranted affectionate enthusiasm, had
given to his wife a large slice of the
Baird family fortune. This fact came
10 the mother after courts had ap-
pointed her a legal guardian of the
more wayward Miles.
Since that time many lawyers have
been employed in trying TO 'straiehten
out the kinks caused by the transfer
of property. It was never known just
how much Miles Baird gave his at
tractive wife. The sum varied as told
by those who said they knew. At any
rate, it included city property and a
block of stock in the Baird company
which controls the estate.
Mrs. Baird seemed determined that
the divorced woman should return the
latter. Ruth Jackson was willing to
fight and was known to hint that pos
session was nine points of the law. To
avoid more publicity and the cost of a
long drawn lawsuit the former Mrs
Miles Baird agreed to a settlement She
is TO pay out of what Miles gave her
his debts. incurred while they were
married and also to retain the tidy sum
of $4,000. This news has been dis
patched to her former mother in law,
who is travelling in Europe.

FISTIC CONTEST IN

Assistant District Attorney

in Sharp Clash

tiIities by Continued OBJ
structive Tactics

Judge Cabaniss' courtroom presented
the appearance of a prize ring Tor a
brief time Yesterday when Assistant
District Attorney Louis Ward and
Ruefs police court attorney, Sam New
burgh. surged toward each other with
cIenched hsts and bitter words All
that prevented an actual miXup was
the quick Interference of Judge Ca
baniss and his bailiff and the willing
ness Of the rival attorneys to let the
other take the first punch. Newburgh's =
obstructive tactics started hostilities.
You've asked that question 20

burgh insisted on putting TO James l..

examination on the witness stand.
IF you'd paid attention. you would
know that I haven't" returned New
burgh with a sneer that reused Ward $
fighting spirit
"Tn give you crack on the jaw,
responded the prosecutor with alac-
rity and a step forward. Judge Ca
baniss sternly called for order and the
bailiff started to his feet, but not in
time to prevent Newburgh, who took
pains first TO sidestep TO the other side
OF the table, from a returning coarse
ly, "Oh. I'll put you in my vest pocket,
you little louise
Ward with a hint of lobster a la
Newburgh.' restrained his temper and
called the attention Of the court TO the
remark. Judge Cabaniss rebuked both
attorneys and made them withdraw
their statements, after declaring that
he himself would take a hand in the
matter if further scenes resulted.
Ruefs lawyer devoted his entire time
yesterday in an attempt to impeach
Gallagher's testimony on the ground
that he had sworn before Judge Doc
ling 10 having spoken to only four
supervisors, Wilson, Boxton, Coleman
and Phillips. regarding Ruefs offer of
81 000 a vote for the revised Parkside
franchise, and at the present hearing
had included Furey in the number.
Gallagher, however, said that he had
only a faint recollection of speaking to
Furey and refused to swear positively
that he had done so, much TO New
burgh's chagrin-
Miss Condor. the court stenogra-
pher who Transcribed the testimony be

to the stand to testify regarding GER
