TELLS OF BUSINESS
REVIVAL IN EAST
Julius Raphael Says Taft's
Election Had Wonderful
Effect

Julius Raphael is back from the east
after a three months journey through
the industrial centers of the Atlantic
coast. He was in New York during
the period before and after the presi-
Dental election and the story he tells
of the effect of Taft's overwhelming
victory in the metropolis of America is
electrifying.
"All the way to New York, through
the country quiet, business duh and
stagnant," he said. Mill wheels were
idle, businessmen cautious-everythi
hung on the result of the election.
And at midnight. when the positive re-
turns arrived, the change that came
over things was marvellous.
Businessmen, financiers, men In all
walks of life whose faces had been
lined with anxiety were suddenly
transformed, their faces wreathed in
smiles, happiness in their eyes. The
next morning what a change took
place in the downtown district. Gus
toners f1ocked into the stores, mer-
chants showed no hesitation in placing
large orders, the banks loosened money
and everybody rejoiced. The only place
where there was woe was in that ma
tional sinkhole, Wall street
Several days later 1 left New York
New England states in the night on
every hand L saw factories working
night shifts, lights cleaning every
where. / stopped off at one place in
Connecticut to place an order for
wooden goods. I was informed that
this factory had all the orders it could
handle until February. All the other
factories were In the same condition.
In the New England states $4,000 men
who had been idle went to work the
morning after election, the result had
so restored confidence in the future of
the country in the business world.
New York voted for Taft because
he is Taft, not because he represented
the Roosevelt policies. Mr.. Taft is a
true Americana great American-and
in the east they know it. Taft and
Hughes are a wonderful pair, both are
of the same high type of American,
both have the confidence of the people
and both will prove true to their
trust

Yes, at Cafe des Beaux Arts"
"A public restaurant" asked Elliott.
''Oh. yes, very much so. 1t was a
beautiful place. There were lots OF
ladies there. President Wheeler of the
university and his wife and son were
at table near us. l wrote DIR. Miner
all about this dinner and. in fact, DR..
Miner had told me before ] left that
it would be especially nice for me be-
cause Billy Armes=he called him
'Billy'-would be there and could show
me around, show me Boston and Cam
bridge and Harvard"
In defense of the charge that Mrs.
Miner had been locked up in her room
with other men Attorney Elliott asked:
Did you ever shut yourself up in a
room with four men?"
Yes, when DR. Miner disappeared
after threatening to commit suicide.
l was half frantic with anxiety and
called my two brothers, a lawyer and
the sheriff TO see what could be done.
That was the only time | was ever

Oakland, Show Gain Over
Last Year

Uniformly high figures are recorded
for the bank clearings for California
cities for the week which was com
pleted at noon Thursday. The Califor-
MIA Promotion committees weekly re-
port shows that with the exception of
Oakland, where conditions were abnor-
NAL a year ago, every California city

tion in this connection, however, that a

stringency were evident.

the week, San Francisco recorded a
gain of 35.1 per cent over the corre-
spending 1907 figure, S2S,936, ,839.60. In

the figures for last week being SILL
5o9339.O5, while last year the clearings
were s9,1S1,35S.
While Oakland. whose clearings for
the week were 12,164.01. higher
than for many weeks, showed a de-
crease of 152 per cent, compared with
the record a year ago, $2,019, ,076.73. the
loss shows a much smaller percentage
than the recent average.
San Jose banks cleared $3.50. .462. 80
for the week, gaining 10.7 per cent over
last years corresponding week, when
the clearlngS We're S49S,sVS-Zl. BY Tar

Mooser Files Suit to Prevent
Securities Company Par
ticipating in Dividend

The latest development in the tangle
of litigation surrounding the insolvent
Market street bank is a suit by the
receiver, Louis II. Mooser, filed yester-
day, TO prevent the Market street secu-

the % per cent dividend he is ready
to pay depositors. OF the $1,033, ,655

$703,350 is represented by bank books
in the possession of the securities COM
pany obtained in exchange for bonds.
The securities company is seeking to
collect its proportionate part of the
dividend upon these books. MooseF al
leges in his complaint that the COM
pany is not the owner of the claims
represented by the bank books assigned
to it andt that the company has no
claim of any kind against the receiver.

BERk ELEY, Nov 13.-One sorority
OF the Berkeley high school has dis
banded and others will follow as a re-
suit of the talk which Frank F. Bunk
er, superintendent of schools, gave to
the 200 Greek letter society members
in THE Berkeley high school yesterday.
His arguments for the revocation OF
their fraternity charters were met
with disdain by the students yesterday
but later wise heads counseled, and
secret societies at the high school will
go out of existence.
The close of the meeting yesterday
afternoon saw lively discussion on
the part of the fraternity members
and leading spirits urged the members
OF the various frats to join in a battle
royal against the board. Local opin-
ions were read however, by older
members, which showed that the board
OF education was in the right. All
talk of a contest was then dropped.
Last night the members of Beta Ep-
silon Omega sorority met in the home
of Miss Agnes Boone and passed reso-
lutions canceling their chapter, which

The members of the Lambda Theta
Phi will hold a meeting Monday night
to consider dssoiving their chapter
The members of the Alpha Sigma, the
largest of the high school sororities
of the state, will probably cancel their
charter.
The Theta Chi will hold a meeting
in few days. at which action will
probably be taken to disband. The
Sigma Phi Epsilon have come to no de-
cision in regard to future action.
