MILLS INTERESTS
AID WRECKED BANK
Reorganizers of California Safe
Deposit and Trust Company
Are Hopeful of Success

1t is the hope of those interested in
the reorganization of the California
safe deposit and trust company that
their plans will mature during the next
few weeks. 1t is now stated that with
III. p. Wilson and Edwin Hawley will
be associated ID. o. Mills in the
new concern. The Mills interest will
not be extensive and comes chiefly
through his possession of trolley fran
chises in the region between Sacra-
mento and Lake Tahoe These are re-
garded as of great value to the Haw-
ley. group of financiers. Through nego-
tiations opened for these holdings Mills
was induced to interest himself in the
plans for reopening the bank
The exact status of the franchises
and rights of way which Mills holds
is not known definitely, but it is un-
derstood that they reach into the tim
ber belt of the Eldorado lumber COM
pany, one OF the industrial concerns
controlled by the California safe de-
posit and trust company The Mills
franchises also extend through the
Sierras and form valuable asset for
any railroad company. These may in
time form adjuncts of the Western Pa
cific, in which Hawley is one of the
chief directing forces.
1t is stated that Mills also controls
rights and franchises in the San
Joaquin valley leading as far as
Bakersfield 1t is suggested that these
might be desired by the Western Pa
clfic for an extension down the state.

Wednesday, July 80, and then made his
escape from the eighth floor of the big
Office building. laborer named Novak
was suspected of the crime and was
arrested few hours afterward. The
Investigations of the following day
wove a strong web of circumstantial
evidence pointing to Novaks guilt.
On the evening of Thursday, July l..
however, The Call secured from Cum
ningham full confession of the crime
and turned the man over to the police.
by whom the confession as published In
The Call was corroborated in every de-
tail. Cunningham explained that the
murder was committed as a result OF
trouble over the delayed payment of a
pay check, and the resulting inquiry
brought to light mass of detail con-
cerning the evils of the pay check sys-
tenn as used by a number of local firms.
Cunningham was charged with muir
der by the coroner's jury in the Brasch
case and later was bound over to the
superior court after preliminary hear
ing before Police Judge Deasy. He has
never denied any part of his original
confession, but it is understood that a
plea OF insanity will be made by his
