SAN FRANCISCO SHORTAGE
FOUND TO EXCEED 100000
Experts Report That Deficit Occurred
During Treasurership of C. A.
RanteI During Days of
Big Fire

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 23.-Instead
of shortage of $4,000 in the city
treasury experts who have just fin
ished an investigation, report that the
amount is in excess of 100000. OF
this amount $4,000 belonged to the
state.
The experts reported also that from
the time of Treasurer MacDonald's 8
first term of office, from 1903 to 1905,
to within thirty days before or after
the great fire, the money was safe in
the treasury and that it must have
disappeared within the period of thirty
days.
1t has been found that the money
was turned over by Treasurer Mac
Donald to his successor, c. A. Bantel,
and that the shortage occurred during
Bantel's term of office, about he time
of the fire.
The investigation was made under
the direction of Attorney General
Webb.

JAPAN'S FUNCTIONS

the first man to sight the black war
ships of Commodore Perry's fleet.
The aged artist was introduced upon
the stage to Rear Admiral Emory. The
scene, when the big American admiral
bent down to shake the hand OF the
bent and withered Japanese, was very
impressive. Even the admiral himself
was affected.
One of Big Features
One of the most interesting features
of the weeks stay of the Americans
in Japan has been the perfect order OF
the men while ashore. There have been
but few cases of misbehavior, in fact
less than in any place visited during
the trip from Hampton Roads. Not
single case of disorderly conduct has
occurred on the streets.
The governor and mayor said to the
Associated Press that one of the most
impressive features of the visit of the
fleet was to see the perfect behavior
of the American blue jacket, who had
been so long confined aboard the ships
that they might be expected, under
the temptation of unlimited entertain
ment, sporadically to break loose. In
this respect the navy has covered it
self with glory in Japan.
The American residents here are ex-
tremely proud of the officers and men
of the fleet and the effect of their visit
politically, commercially and socially
has undoubtedly been enormous and
will be ineradicable.

William Edgar, a Long Beach la

last night at the Los Angeles hospital,
to save his life.
Three months ago Edgar fell into
a vat of boiling tar, at Long Beach.
and his left leg was burned seriously

to hospital and skin grating and
every means known to medical science
was resorted to in order to save his

The treatment was unsuccessful,
however, and last night his leg was
amputated at the knee by. Drs. ]. A
McNaughtor, I. J. Brimwall and J.
L. Jones.
Anaesthol a new aneasthetic, was
used in the operation for the first time
on the Pacific coast and was found to
work satisfactorily. The new pain
killing drug leaves no bad after effects,
and produces no sickness or Ill feeling.

Evidence of importance-Three
Sensational Developments
In Ice Pool Case
TBy Associated Press.1


ATEW YORK. Oct. 23.-There were
three important developments to-
AN day in the joint trial of Charles
w. Morse and Alfred N. Curtis, who
are charged with conspiracy and vio-
lation of the federal banking laws, IN
the management of the defunct Ma
tional Bank of North America.
First, the prosecution produced let
ters to show that Comptroller of the
Currency Ridgely had foreseen the inn
pending failure of the bank, and that
he had written number of letters 10
Morse and Curtis warning them against
making such large loans on what ne
termed unsubstantial collateral, to the
officers and directors of the pank, es-
pecially naming the loans MADE 10
Morse. although he did not prevent
further loans to Morse.
Big Loans to Secretary
Next the prosecution presented evil
dence to show that a large loan mace
by the bank to Miss Katherine w. Wit-
son. Morse's secretary, had been paid
in part by profits coming out OF the
financing of an undertaking OF the
New Haven Improvement company.
The profits, Edward b. Wire, former
cashier of the bank, said should have
gone to the bank, but he testihed Mr.
Curtis and Morse had arranged so that
they went to cover in part the Will
son loan,
Third. the prosecution had Mr.. Wire
testify regarding a note for $500 600.
deposited with the Knickerbocker
Trust company, one of the institutions
that went to the wall during the flnan-
cial panic.
Its Next Appearance
In tracing this note it was shown
by banking records that after passing
through the Knickerbocker bank, it
bobbed up in the Bank of Commerce al
a credit to e. B. Wire.
At this point Government Bank Ex-
aminer Moxey was called to the stand
and endeavored to show now the szoV,-
900 obtained on the note had gone to
finance the Morse steamship under
takings.
There was some interest toward the
end of the session when the proSecu-
tion put on the stand Miss Julia A.
Wolfe, a stenographer of the jKnicker-
booker Trust company.
Want Notes Kept Out
An effort was made to have admit
fed stenographic notes taken by the
young woman of a conversation be-
tween Mr. Morse and Mr.. Schuman,
the latter counsel for the Knicker-
booker,
The defense objected on the ground
that the conversation took place after
the dates on which Morse and Curtis
are charged with violation of the bank
ing law.
The prosecution indicated the read
ing of the stenographer's notes 4woul0
be very much in the line of con-
fession.
Judge Hough said he would require
time to pass upon the question and
asked the lawyers for both sides to
submit briefs.
