let Attorney Baker attempted to prove
a the opening session OF the hearing
bf Lewis before United states Commits
gioner Arson s. Taylor.
The first witness was Postofhce In
7ector Carter 3. Keene. who was the
ief investigator OF the COMPANY and
30 was in chlrse Of the raid o. the f
rect Offices. He told of his work and
entitled numerous letters, charters of
corporation. and other papers which
e Government will attempt to prove
ere kept in the company's safe. These
= spers, according to MIR Bakers pres
y ntation Of the case. will be one of his
chief points in showing the alleged
fraudulent practices of the company.
Trust Charter.
One voluminous document was a paper
purporting to be a charter or constitu-
ton of the Delaware Trust Company.
The Official seal at the bottom OF the
first page was that Of the National
trust Company, of Washington. AS it
was shown. Henry r. Davis, counsel for
] Lewis, said:
Il object to the introduction of that
paper as being irrelevant and incompet-
ent evidence. 1 cannot see what it has
10 do with the case"
With some heat Mr.. Baker replied.
1T has enough to do with the case to
show the fraud I expect to prove"
The only thing # can show" retorted
Mr.. Davis quickly. will be that an en-
ploye was careless enough to use the
wrong stamp"
Other bits Of evidence were letters
rlaimed to have been written Lewis by
various brokers. and one claimed to
have been written by the former vice
president. d. S. Fletcher. One Of the
letters is written in the nature Of a
warning against inviting notoriety at
this time by not coming 70 terms with
various brokers from whom there were
letters KICKING about not receiving
their commissions" The letter which
advised against possible nOtOriety ended

MONTEREY. Mex. Sept. s.--A num-
Der of village priests. after making
Journeys over miles OF devastated coun-
try have arrived here today bringing
the first news of the destruction
wrought by the recent foods in the out
lying districts. Their stories indicate
that the havoc is more widespread than
was at first believed.
The priest of Arramberi informed
Lenares that Arramberi was
destroyed and that his people are wan
dering over the country in search OF
food. The destruction of the roads has
made il impossible to send in supplies
The story brought in by the priest OF
La Ascension is that this town and it's
population of 1000 have entirely disap-
peared. lie does not know where the
DeopIe are.
Not stone was left upon stone in
La Ascension" the priest said. Where
there We're once rich farms there is now
nothing but water"
Another priest from AUende saws that
that place also has disappeared with
large loss of life and that the fields
nave been cOevertsd into lakes. The
priests were more than a week in max
ing their way into Monterey. Aid is
urgently needed in these outlying dis
tr1cts. particularly as the authorities
are busy with Monterey and its vicinity

company of his mother or sisters.
should not take a drink of anything
alcoholic. nor associate with other viii
lage bad boys, who were named in the
courts order, and in addition pay S5
monthly inStallmentS on $3.50 fine.
The trouble that Thomas Frowley Jr.
of Alturas got himself into was con-
tempt of court Last November Supe-
rior Judge John E. Raker of Modoc
county put another Is year old boy,
James Forrest, on probation until of age
Awaiting himself of the new juvenile
court law he made it contempt of court
for any one to offer Forrest liquor.
Young Frowley took Forrest TO his
fathers slaughter house and filled him
with whisky. Forrest was hailed into
court for contempt and the sentence
from which he appealed was imposed
A gang of young toughs terrorfzed
Alturas several years ago and the
judge took pains to itemize the COM
panions Frowley must avoid.
The case will test the power of the
juvenile delinquency law to prevent
outsiders from corrupting offenders
paroled during good behavior. The
supreme court is asked to review and
annul Judge Raker's order and a writ
was issued returnabIe 20 days after re-
ceipt by the Judge.

OAKLAND ATTEMPTS
TO HOLD PRESIDENT
Luncheon on Tug Golden Gate
Is Not to Interfere With
San Francisco Plans

How the devil Oakland expects to
entertain the president on his trip
across the bay when he has already
approved the plan to meet the san
Francisco reception committee at
Broadway and come across in the rev.
eTue cutter is more than I can ex-
plain" said Mayor Taylor yesterday,
speaking of the proposal from the
transbay committee to give the presi
dent a luncheon on the ferry boat
to which some 200 prominent citizens
should be invited.
The president has accepted the pro-
gram of the San Francisco committee"
continued the mayor. The plan is
for the cutter to steam slowly down
the creek so that luncheon will be over
for the few on board by the time the
vessel enters the waters of the bay.
The Golden Gate being a government
vessel the president may with propri-
ETY. hoist his flag and suitably receive
the salutes of the war vessels and the
batteries of the harbor. The matter
will. however be discussed at this aft
ernoons session of the committee"
Messrs. Cole. Clay and Adams of the
Oakland committee met with Mayor
Taylor, Supervisors Payot and Jeu-
nings, Marshall Hale and James McNab
of the committee later in the day. and
laid before the local representatives
Oaklands scheme to feast the chief
executive on the way across the bay.
1t was agreed that the next meeting
should be at the call of the chairman n
and that the Oakland committee
should be notified of the action taken
at the meeting when held.
AS the instructions from Washington
coincide with the wishes of the local
committee that no changes be made
after the president has approved the
matter, and the standard intimation
has been given that any changes "at
the last minute" are to be "disre-
garded," it is safe to assume that
President Taft will l9nd in San Fran
cisco from the cutter Golden Gate.
Major II. l.. Roosevelt, a cousin of
the former president and son in law
of Judge Morrow, was yesterday added
to the local reception committee.

New District
Especial Dispatch TO The Call

SANTA CLARA, Sept. S.-Word was
received today by Rev. Richard A

college, of a change affecting the whole
Jesuit order in the western and Pacific

past and in its place a province with
Rev Herman Collier of Spokane

name is well known in Catholic circles

This was the first preliminary step

BY this decree the newly formed
province OF California has been de-
tached from the Turin province, to
which it was formerly subject and
from the Italian assistancy and has
been rendered a part of the English
assistancy. This change effects rather
the internal government and will not
modify the status of the various
Jesuits.

The new provincial is a personal
