MAY FIX FISCAL
POLICY FOR CITY
High Officials Consider Plan of
Making Improvements in
Annexed Territory

OAKLAND, Nov 24.-The city coun-
the policy of disbursements under
which the administration will proceed
during the fiscal year 1910-1911 in reg
ulating permanent improvements in the
annexed territory. This establishment
of definite policy has been discussed
by city officials, and probably the move
will be made at an early meeting or
the council. Mayor Mott, City Engi-
neer Turner President Pendleton of
the city council, and oliver Ellsworth.
chairman of the auditing and finance
committee of the city council, are now
considering the formation of the policy.
The general plan is to segregate the
tax income so that the money derived
from the annexed territory will defray
the cost of needed improvements in
that part of the city. The betterments
in the present city will be paid out of
the public betterment fund, but the
appropriations will be regulated to the
tax income of the existing city. The
maintenance costs, including city coun
Gil expenses, salaries of officials, and
conduct of departments, will generally
be borne by the old city. The annexed
residents will be taxed for their po-
lice and fire protection proportion
ately. but will not be saddled at once
with the maintenance of municipal in
stitutions which would be imposed on
the present city If annexation had
failed to carry.
City. Assessor Gross estimates the in
come from the annexed territory at
100000. This sum will be needed
in the beginning fer needed improve
ments. The public betterment fund of
the existing city will be more than
100000. OF this City Engineer Turner
and the street department will ask
about $250,000 for street work. cul-
verts and similar improvements, of
which estimates are now being made.
The salt water auxiliary system may be
extended to the water front next year,
SO that connection may be made with
fire tugs, and this cost would come
from the public betterment fund.

Ferdinand Schuitze, whose chief fail
ing is that he spends his money in too
much of a hurry. was given one last
chance by Judge Graham yesterday TO
break himself of that vicious habit.
The young man is Il years of age.
The death of his mother recently left
him in possession of an estate of $4,000
in cash and realty worth $4,000 Fear
ing that he would dissipate it all his
grandfather. Jerome Backus. applied to
the court yesterday for letters of guar
dianship over the young mans estate.
He has been going a terrible pace

six weeks he spent $500 He has
been riding about most of the time in
automobiles"
Schultz did not seem TO take to the
idea of being divested of the right TO
spend his own money. He told the
Judge he was willing TO do what was
right. and il the petition were denied
he would be much more careful of his
wealth in the future.
L will give you a chance to show IL
you mean it," said the Judge. The
matter will go over TO March 1. If at
that time you are working I will dis
miss the petition; but it your course OF

$50 MORE BODIES
TAKEN FROM MINE
Workmen Declare Reversing of
Ventilating Fan Hastened
Death of Victims

CHERRY, ILL.,, Nov. 24.-After more
than $50 bodies had been discovered in
the st. Paul mine early today, efforts
to carry them to the surface were tenn
porariIy abandoned while a battle was
begun to check a fire that again threat
ened the main shaft.
Today flames from the fire in the Sec
ond vein, 80 feet below the surface
had swept so feet UP the main shaft.
Mine Manager Taylor says that the de-
struction Of the main shaft is at all
times imminent and with it will go the
only possibility of removing the bodies.
That no men survive in the mine is now
generally conceded, even by the most
optimistic.
Two rude wooden ventilating fans.
fashioned after the same manner of
those found two days ago, were affixed
to the shaft wall and stairway The
hands of one miner were found firmly
gripped about fan.
Tom Mulligan, one of the rescuing
party, picked up piece of natural
slate, on which was written: 1--WE are
here together, 1853" On a wooden box
used to hold tools he saw written with
a lead pencil: I'VE are here to die to-
gether.'
Many of the former workers in the
mine protested angrily after they dis
covered that the men would have been
safe from the deadly gas had not the
ventilating fan of the mine been re-
versed shortly after the discovery of
the fire.
The ST Paul mine was sealed early
this morning, the fire gaining such
headway that it was thought best to
cut off all the air in the shafts The
mine probably will remain sealed for
several weeks.

OPENING ARGUMENT
IS NOT CONCLUDED
Assistant District Attorney
Hynes Addresses De Lancey
Trial Jury During Day

OAKLAND, Nov. 24.-'In times of
public disaster men are shot and
lynched who rob the bodies of the dead.
Yet this defendant sits here calmly
and asks to be set free.
"A fine chance had the widows and
orphans against the combination which
this defendant had in operation" de-
clared Assistant District Attorney w.
H. L. Hynes today, continuing the open
ing argument for the prosecution in the
trial of John s. de Lancey.
Hynes scored De Lancey as a man
guilty of the most heinous of crimes.
De Lancey is on trial charged with
embezzling $4,000 from the George
Hite Cook estate while he was attor-
ney for former Public Administrator
George Gray. and Hynes contended in
his argument that the evidence showed
De Lancey had systematic robbed
the dead.
Another point brought out in con-
trast to this in Hynes effort was the
alleged betrayal of trust reposed in
De Lancey by Gray, which, the prose
cutor said, was violated in the most
outrageous manner.
Hynes. arguing through morning and
afternoon sessions and failing to finish
today, went into minute details of the
alleged embezzlement of the $4,000
certificate of deposit from the Cook
estate and afterward dwelts on what he
said the evidence showed were at
tempts to conceal traces of the theft.
The length of his argument will
probably result in the case being with
held from the jury until next week
Attorneys Chapman and Frick for the
defense will probably take all of Fri
day and a possible morning session
SATURDAY.

STAMP COLLECTOR
SUED BY CREDITORS
James N. Makins Alleged to
Have Sought to Evade Legit-
innate Obligations

Henry ]. Crocker faced the man from
stamp collection which won first prize
in the last big philatelic exhibition In
London in the United States district
court yesterday in suit to obtain
1865 from James NJ Makins and
family. Crocker is trustee of Makins'
creditors. alleging that the Makins fam
lily is trying to avoid liability.
few weeks before the fire of 1906
Makins, who had stamp shop, told
Crocker that he could buy the famous
Stolz collection for $4,000 if Crocker
would go on his note. This collection
contained some stamps that would fill
out certain series, so Crocker agreed.
After the fire Makins received an offer
from a Los Angeles philatelist for the
Stolz collection. The remainder was
sold to this man for $4,000 SIS, 700
being offered for the entire lot. in
Guiding Crocker's share
Malcfns, who is more than so wears
old, was on the stand yesterday to tell
what has become of the assets of the
firm He said that his firm was a
family partnership until 1900, when It
was incorporated. In 1905 Makins, his
wife, daughter and remaining son sold
out to his son Joseph, although they
kept a few shares each to provide di-
rectors for the company.

what in part became of the firms prop
erty. Crocker is represented by ]. Del
more Lederman, who has attached valu-
able property belonging to the various

FARMERS MUST FIGHT -

A special dispatch from Wasning-
on says: Field mice destroy crops on
hundreds of acres of land every
wear. and in the centers of popula-
tion the ravages of rats entail dl-
rect loss of S2O,OO0,000 annually. In
addition. the rat excites grave appre-
bension because Of its agency in dis
tributing the dreaded plague and
other diseases. Investigations con
ducted by the department of agri-
culture and the marine hospital SER
vice have prompted the authorities
TO send out a warning against field
mice and house rats.
