CITY BEATS CHILDREN
OUT OF FOURTH MONEY

There is nothing so touching as
child's face downcast with disap.
pointment, and members of the
health department have been forci.
bly, reminded of it more than once
today when the children. the rat
hunters and executioners who dur.
ing the past few months have done
such good work Graduating the
vermint, appeared to collect their
money.
All the "rat money" provided by
the city, 1t seems, has been ex-
hausted. But those youngsters
who have been saving their re-
ceipts for rats delivered to the
crematory didn't know it. Now
they want the money for their
Fourth of July, for which purpose
they saved their receipts, but
there isn't any for them.
About a score of little urchins
appeared today.
AN won't we really git eny
money fer tn FOURTH" they asked
of Mrs, E. Hughes, the health de-
partment clerk.
mo, dear!'
HUH" was usually all the ex.
preston in reply, for the pucker-
ing little lips and countenances in
dicating disappointment and tears
would have followed had they tried
to say more.
The health board at the next
meeting of the council will ask for
more money to continue the rat
campaign, at least enough to pay
for the bills already contracted.
The city is guilty now of obtain
ing rats under false pretenses, as
it continued to issue receipts after
funds to redeem them were gone.
And worst of all, 1t has beat a
lot of children out of Fourth of
July fun.

brought to this city by Sharpe,
who took her out OF good home

her upon the streets and finally she
became fearful of him. They have
been here only a few weeks. She
was forced to hang around Frank
Bruno's saloon. When she told her
story to the officers the detectives
accompanied her back to Bruno's.
Sharpe, on sight of her, cursed her
and wanted to know why she had
left Bruno's. Then he was arrest.

pocket.

EVANS SAYS PLOT
WAS HUGE HOAX

RIO JANEIRO, Jan. 21.-Rear Adj
miral Evans authorizes the following
statement: Il have learned from the
Brazilian police authorities, unoffi-
cially, that certain suspected anar-
chists proposed to make some demon
stration, not necessarily against the
American fleet. For fear of accident,
more than intent, necessary precau-
lions were taken aboard the vessels
to prevent trouble or damage, such
as would have been taken, in fact,
have been taken many times in our
own ports to meet just such threats.
Similar precautions always will be
taken as long as present conditions
of efficiency in the navy exist as part
of the routine of our profession and
nothing more. The Brazilian govern
ment has managed the entire matter
admirably and has promptly taken
every precaution to preserve the
sanctity of the port of Rio Janeiro.
Among all the names mentioned, not
one is Japanese. From present APP
pearances the entire matter is hoax,
without the slightest foundation in
fact"

PLOW UNCOVERS
BOX OF GOLD

SAN JOSE, Jan. 21.-Roman Cha
boya, descendant of one of the
earliest Spanish settlers in this val
ley, plowed up box of gold on the
Chaboya ranch at Evergreen, five
miles east of this city, yesterday. The
box contained eighty Spanish gold
slugs, each worth $50, total value
of $4,000.
The box was covered with tin, dis
colored and destroyed partially by
age, and had evidently been hidden
for over half century. The inside
of the box was lined with wool
The spot where the treasure was
found is located near the old Cha
boya home, which has been in the
possession of the Chaboyas since be-
fore Americans came to this valley.
An ancient fence was removed few
days ago. The box had been buried
on this fence line. The soil at this
point was never turned before by a
plow.
The story of the find was told il
the streets of San Jose last night by
Chaboya's sons. They believe that
the money was buried by some an
cGstor who resided here when the val.
lev and mountains thronged with
lawless and adventurous men.

mated for President by the socialist
party" said William F. Haywood,
kwould accept the honor in the
tt.lsse of socialism and for the adj
vancement of the interests of the
working people
Haywood made his first appearance
before the labor delegates at the
Central Federated Union today and
while the socialists in that body APP
plauded him heartily, the other dele
gates did not show any enthusiasm.
Haywood said he had the work
ing men of the country to thank for
his not being railroaded to the gal
lows, for in his opinion the employ
ers in the mining region were deter
mined to put an end to the union OF
the Western Federation OF Miners,
He appealed to them to go to the as
sistance of Steve Adams, from whom
the employers, he said, were trying
to extort another confession.
Haywood addressed meeting OF
labor men in the Brooklyn labor ~
ceum, Willoughby and Myrtle ave-
nues, Williamsburg, this afternoon.
AS he stepped to the front OF the
platform the immense audience stood
up and cheered him for five minutes.
Many of the women became hysteri-
cal and took off their hats to wave
at the labor leader.

York tomorrow and will hold con-
ference with Haywood and other So
