Woman Defies the State Bank Board
by Her Refusal to Resign
Agnes Boch, Clerk Of the Commission,
Blocks Sherers Patronage Grab

It has remained for young woman,
slight of figure, pretty of face and
barely FIVE feet in height, to defy the
bank commission and set at naught
the dictates of the big machine in
control of California politics. She is
Miss Agnes Boch, clerk of the bank
board, and there is nothing in her
wavy brown hair, her soft blue eyes,
nor her winsome smile to indicate that
she has the courage to resist and to
oppose with all her strength an at
tempt to make her the innocent VIC
tim of the grasping game of politics.
Notwithstanding that Miss Boch
has been in the employ of the COM
mission for eight years, more than
twice AS long as any member of the
present board has been in Office ma
chine politics has ordained that she
must give place to some new. inexperi-
enced appointee. but the young woman
has refused to YIELD and, believing in
the Justice of her cause, is prepared to

Miss Boch has served through a dozen
changes in the board and has become
an expert in her work The president
of a local bank said of her recently
that she knows more about the banks
of the state than any other person in
California.
Commissioner C. H. Sherer, the ap-
pointee from Los Angeles. has under
taken to act as the personal representa-
tive OF the machine on the board and
has already selected the young woman
for whom he intends the $1,000 year
position which Miss Boch now holds.
Believing that his plans would go
through without hitch Sherer wired
yesterday to the young woman in Los
Angeles, and she will arrive in San
Francisco this morning only to find
that the place intended for her is not
yet vacant. Sherer has not yet di-
vulged the name OF his proposed ap-
! pointee and the young woman herself
is in ignorance of the situation here.
Up in the rooms of the bank COM
mission 1t is said in whispers by the
young women that Sherer is horse
trainer and not banker. The COM
missioner denies that he was ever a
jockey and points to his weight as
proof conclusive Of his assertion. but
he admits that he used to train horses.
| In much the same position as Miss
Boch is Miss May Kramer. stenographer
of the board, and she and Miss Boch

are those based on the extortion in

Since then he has recovered from the
grip, but has not been near the de-
partment. He received visitors at his
home. One of these was ]. Pierpont

According TO the story current to-
night, Cortelyou resigned some time
ago. his resignation to take effect
whenever the president should find a
man suitable for the place. The pre-
mature publication of it tonight is not
authorized and is very likely to be
denied. y However that may be, the
best of authority is that Cortelyou's
resignation has been in the presidents
hands for some time.
When Cortelyou was asked about it
tonight he made general denial, but
would not go into particulars nor sub
nit to cross questioning. He directed
the telephone exchange at o'clock to
call him no more until O'clock in the
morning.

SOCKER GAME A TIE.
Salt Lake and Jordan Swifts Score
One Goal Each.

The Salt Lake and Jordan Swifts
socker football teams plays tie game
on the Ninth West grounds yesterday
afternoon.
Salt Lake had the wind in their IA
vOr the first half. but were unable to
score for a long time, the backs and
goalkeeper of the Swifts sowing well,
and at the same time the wind spoiled
play to a great extent. At length
foul inside the penalty area against
the SWiftS was safely converted into
goal by Alf Churchill, who made no
mistake beating McMurrin with low
swift shot. The first half ended one
goal to none in favor of the Salt Lake
team.
On the change of ends the Swifts
made it interesting and warm for San
ford and company, but Salt Lake held
them we'll in hand and, keeping the
ball low, forced the Swifts back on
their goal for a brief period, Graham 5
play at back repeatedly saving the
goal. Steel also played well, Adamson
and Churchill repeatedly shooting for
goal but always a Jordan Swift met
the bah to clear. Play was then trans
ferred to Salt Lakes territory and.
after a bombardment toward the call
of time, a rather soft one went through,
Brown missing it by inches. The game,
although in favor of the Salt Lake
team, was value for draw. Result,
one goal each. Play, two thirty-min-
ute halves Next Saturday Salt Lake
plays Ogden here.
