deavor to show by the opinion of DR..

natural criminal bent, with strong
tendencies toward lying. stealing and
killing.
DR.. Austin Flint was given an op-
portunity to examine Baby" John a
short time after the Ogden explosion,
when Mrs. Martin took an extended trip
through the east. Mrs. Martin since
the boys confession, which led TO her
arrest, has maintained that she re-
garded him as insane from his earliest
infancy, and she said that she deter
mined to definitely ascertain from DIT.

PLANS TO REOPEN
MARKET ST. BANK

Attorney Joseph Campbell. who is
acting for the directors of the Market
street bank, announced yesterday that
his plan for the rehabilitation OF the
institution was practically completed.
He will apply to the court on Monday
for permission to reopen the bank
Campbell refused to announce his plan
before Monday. He said that he was
not sure that 1t would go through.
Until the rehabilitation is actually ac-
complished Campbell says he is sure
of nothing. Joseph l.. Kinley, attorney
for Martel, also had a plan for the
rehabilitation of the bank. but has
dropped It, as he thinks 1t would be
financial suicide on the part of any
financier to attempt to put the wrecked
institution on Its feet.
John C. Hughes, former cashier of
well known bank in Kansas City,
who week ago intimated to the re-
ceiver that he was willing to purchase
the assets of the bank, has also backed
out. He Is willing to buy the fixtures,
but does not care to accumulate a lot
of valueless assets. He would like to
start a bank under another name.
BOND SALE FALLS THROUGH
The sale Of 20 bonds of the Yosemite
valley railroad company at $500 each
appears to have fallen through. The
ened over the notice of appeal filed by
Attorney Campbell.
It looked as though Receiver Mooser
and members of the Depositors' associa-
tion would clash yesterday afternoon.
An advertisement calling upon all de-
positors to file their claims with the
receiver started things. Several de-
positors had their claims made out and
acknowledged before a notary. Mem
bers of the association were of the
opinion that this was not necessary,
and were on the point of seeking an In
junction against the receiver, when an
obiiging attorney informed them that
the claims must be filed.
CALL PUBLIC MEETING
The association has called another pub
lie meeting at the Colonial theater, in
McAllister street, for Sunday. The pur-
pose of the meeting is to submit reports
to the members of the association and
to secure more members. Only bona
fide members of the association and
prospective members who have their
bank books will be admitted. The
meeting will be held from / o'clock in
the afternoon until 8.

Will Be Announced After
Final Canvass Today

hibition This Afternoon

OAKLAND. Aug. 1.-THE name of
the girl who is TO be queen of the
Idora park carnival will be announced
tomorrow. The contest closed today
and the final count of the ballots will
be made tomorrow morning. The result
is uncertain. This years contest for
the honor of wearing the carnival
crown has been closer and more ex-
citing than any held before in Alameda
county First one beauty and then
another has assumed the lead in the
race, and the friends of all the most
prominent candidates seem determined
that their favorite shall not be out
done.
Yesterday Miss Lena Tisch of Oak
land led all her rivals. This morning
Miss Veva WhaIen, another fair Oak
lander, took first place. Two days ago
Miss Edna Robinson, one of the pret-
tiest girls in Alameda county, was first
on the list, and for the last week Miss
Maybelle Watson, the beautiful Berke-
ley girl who was the heroine of the
Columbia wreck, has been gaining
steadily on the others. who were in the
field before her candidacy was an
nounced. Each of these candidates has
an excellent chance to win the earni-
val crown, and it is expected that the
heaviest vote on record will be counted
tomorrow.
The coronation will take place at the
carnival grounds Monday evening. The
queen elect will be crowned on an i'm
mense throne stand in the center of the
park, and elaborate ceremonials Will
follow her assumption of the scepter.
Thousands of school children will take
part in the children's carnival at Idora
park tomorrow afternoon as the guests
of the carnival management. The park
will be turned over to the young folk
for the afternoon, and they will be
permitted to enjoy themselves to their
hearts content.
