The Lucille arrived here short of pro-

that some hoodoo had taken passage
on the ship and that the voyage would
never end. There was no -four on the

BANKER IS DENIED
| REDUCTION OF Bail
J. Dalzell Brown, by Attorney,
Appeals in Vain to Presid-
ing Judge Sturtevant
Application Refused on Ground
That Jurisdiction Is Vested
in Judge Dunno

! An application made yesterday to
Presiding Judge Sturtevant by Attor-
ney Hiram W. Johnson to have the
bail of ]. Dalzell Brown, the indicted
banker, reduced from s320,00o to
! 100000 was denied by the Judge on
the ground that he has no jurisdiction,
the indictments having been assigned
to Judge Dunnes court.
/ The important statement was made
! by Sturtevant during the proceedings
that a fourth superior judge, i'm addi-
| tion to Judges Lawlor, Cook and
| Dunno, might be asked to try criminal
cases. The criminal calendars are be-
coming SO overcrowded that | do not
see what otherwise l can do he re-
marked. But 1 will consider that
! later"
Johnsons chief argument in support
of the petition was that the trial of
the Ruef case would occupy many
months in department 6-Judge Dunne's
court. "One of the attorneys in that
case told me he expected to be en-
gagged six months in it, said Johnson.
What is there to show that some
| other department will not take up the
case of Brown?" asked Prosecutor
Cook.
OFFERS DAILY REPORT
BE CanQ10, MI. COOK, replleQ
Browns attorney. You know that
eral Ford on Thursday and that Judge
| Cook has announced that he is dis
qualified. That this bail of 100000 is
excessive and exorbitant cannot for one
moment be questioned, and must Brown
/ be kept in jail for an Indefinite number
of months and so punished in advance
of his sentence? Fix the bail at some
sum he is able to raise and he will re-
port daily to any Judge or person
agreeable. Nay, he will report twice
day if you like at 10 o'clock and 3
o'clock, and If he shall not be there on
the minute fixed he is willing that his
bail shall be forfeited or increased. He
is knocking at the door of justice for
trial, and it is ,only because of the de-
lays asked for by the district attorney
that he has not been tried
ATTORNEYS IN WRANGLE
Assistant District Attorney Cook an
swered that no man was able to say
how long the trial of Ruef would take
and suggested that on April "a, the date
set for the trial of Brown. the district
attorney would find some means of
meeting the situation.
Johnson and Cook got into a sharp
wrangle, In which Cook accused
Browns attorney of doing the same
thing in the case of George D. Collins
that he now charged the prosecutor
with doing. and Brown retorted with a
sarcastic reference to ''the sort of men
tality that works in such a way its
wonders to perform" Finally the Judge
stopped the crossfire and took the ap-
plication under advisement until later
in the day, when Browns application
was denied.

MULCREVY MUST
DISGORGE FEES
City Attorney Decides County
Clerk Is Not Entitled to
Naturalization Money

City Attorney Long says that County
Clerk Mulcrevy has no legal right to
retain for his own use the fees col
lected by him in the naturalization de-
partment of his Office, and that they
must be deposited with the treasurer.
Mulcrevy laughs at Longs opinion.
says it is not worth the paper on which
1t is written and that he will pay no
attention TO it. Mayor Taylor, acting
under the ruling of the city attorney,
will make formal demand on Mulcrevy
today TO deposit with Treasurer Nc
Dougald all of the fees collected by him
in the naturalization cases, and fur
thermore Will direct him to hereafter
live up TO that section OF the charter
which provides that every officer shall
pay all moneys coming into his hands
as such officer, no matter from what
sources derived or received, into the
treasury of the city and county with
in "a hours after the receipt of the
same"
The demand and order of the mayor
Will be ignored by Mulcrevy, who does
not recognize the authority of the
city's chief executive to direct or sug-
gest to him how he shall manage the
affairs of hfs office.

The civil courts eventually will be
called upon to settle the controversy.
for it is the intention of Mayor Taylor
to have City Attorney Long institute
proceedings against Mulcrevy in the
event that he refuses to surrender the
fees.
When Mayor Taylor learned some
days ago that Mulcrevy was retaining
for his personal use half of the fees
collected fha l{zo 10,
he sent ~ him and directed him to
turn the money into the city treasury.
Mulcrevy refused and claimed that un-
der the federal law he was entitled to
collect IS from each applicant, turn
over half of that sum to the bureau of
immigration and retain the other half
for his services.
A stormy scene ensued. and when
Mulcrevy left Mayor Taylor directed
City Attorney Long to render an
opinion based on the law, in the hope
that it might result in the county clerk
altering his views
Long in an opinion filed yesterday
quotes several sections of the charter,
excerpts from the act of congress re-
lating to naturalization and cites the
rulings Of the supreme court of the
state in the contested fee cases brought
by the assessor and treasurer to sus-
tain his decision that the county clerk
is "a salaried officer" under the char
ter and that all fees received by him
belong TO the city and county.

Mr.. TAFT'S CABINET
Will Be Announced When MIR. Taft
Has the Slate Completed.

Hot Springs. Va, Dec. 3.-Mr. Taft
made it decidedly plain today that no in
formation for publication might be OK
pected from him regarding the makeup
of his cabinet until he is ready to make
the official announcement of the entire
cabinet. Acting on this declaration he
declined to discuss the report from Cleve-
land that Rep. Theodore f. Burton of
Ohio had been offered the treasury port
folio.
The situation is understood here to be
that MI Burton has been told by Mr.
Taft that he may be invited to accept
a cabinet position and that either the
treasury or the state department NAV be
available. That Il more definite under
standing could lot he had is due in part
at least to the position Of Mr.. Barton as
Il candidate for the Senate. Should lie
fail in his ambition for the Senate it is
a cabinet minister

dent-elect Taft and Arthur l. Norys. who

That the Acknowledgements pact will

Not only did Judge Taft specifically

his position.

PREFERS THE sENAToRsHIP
Burton Of Ohio Will Not Now Decide
About Cabinet Offer.

Washington, Dec. 3.-That Rep. Theo-
dore E. Burton Of Ohio has been offered
the portfolio of secretary OF the treas
ury is generally believed in Washington.
For years the Cleveland representative
has made study OF financial questions.
1t is known that Mr.. Burton would rather
have the promise of secretary of the
treasury than any other portfolio. At the
same time his selection to the cabinet
would clear UP the senatorial situation in
Ohio, it is believed.
Mr.. Burton himself is inclined to pre-
fer seat in the Senate to place in the
ca binet. For that reason, it is believed,
he will withhold his answer to the prof.
fered cabinet position until after the sen
atorial situation in Ohio has clarified.
When asked concerning the report that
he had been selected for secretary of the
treasury, Mr. Burton said that MS name
had been mentioned in con-
nection with number OF positions. Some
of these, he explained, We're mere con-
lecture. and greatly embarrassed his en-
Geavors along other lines. He mentioned
in this connection the scnatorship from
Ohio, the position Of secretary of state
and secretary of the treasury. He added
that he was ut present candidate Tor
the Ohio senatorshir.

SAYS AMERICAN STOMACH
SURELY IS DEGENERATE
Westerner Who Secured Big Following In Brooklyn Is
Now In New York Meeting The Public.

l.. r. Cooper. the young man who has
created such a sensation in Brooklyn
with his new theory regarding the
human stomach, is now in New York
explaining his ideas to the public.
Cooper says that ninety per cent of
all i'll helath is due to stomach trouble,
and claims to prove this with his medi-
cine In speaking of his theory dur
ing an interview Thursday afternoon
he said: practically all the chronic
ill health of this generation is caused
by abnormal stomach conditions In
earlier days. when the human race was
closer to nature and men and women
worked out of doors all day, the tired,
droopy. halfsick people that are now 30
common did not exist There was
sickness, but it was only temporary.
There was little of this constant half
sick condition with which so many are
afflicted.

tribes Of Africa, or in uncivilized
people in any quarter of the globe. you
see no general debility. no nerve ex-
haustion. They are not shut up all
day and they do not stuff themselves
with food when their bodies have not
had enough exercise to justify it. Tie
American people have been doing this
