EAST SAN PEDRO TO HAVE
NEEDED WIRELESS STATION
Salt Lake Road viii Keep in Conn.,
munication with Many lncon1-
ing Vessels

r. H. Armstrong, Pacific coast man
ager for the United Wireless Telegraph
company, is in the city looking over the
ground for the new high power station
which this company will install imme-
diately.
A contract has been closed with the
Salt Lake Railroad company for sta
ton at East San Pedro. The installa-
ton of this station will mean much to
the shipping interests at San Pedro, as
the Salt Lake road will be in touch
with all vessels carrying wireless
equipment, hours before their arrival
and can regulate their transportation
of freight by getting wireless reports
in advance of the arrival of these YES
sells. Within thirty days the boats OF
the Pacific Coast Steamship company
will all have been equipped with United
instruments.
A station is now being installed at
San Luis Obispo, thus making chain
of United Wireless stations from San
Diego to Alaska.

neutrality-suspicious.
of Books Probed

NEW YORK, June 2-Affairs of f.
Augustus Heinze and the United Cop
per company, which have kept the fed
eral authorities busy because of the
disappearance of the company's books
needed by the grand jury to clear UP
loans alleged to have been made by
HeinZe while he was head Of the Mer-
camille bank during the panic of 1907
were clarified somewhat today, and yet
seemingly complicated.
George Baglin, second vice president
of the United Copper company and sec
rotary to Heinze, who was placed in
the Tombs yesterday for contempt of
court was released today. 1t is I'M
derstood this action followed his re-
moval from the board of directors.
While no announcement to this eff
feet was made, a meeting of the stock
holders was held, and this resulted in
the election of board in which Bag
Inns name does not appear. Mr. Heinze
was reelected a director, as was STAN
ley Clifford of New York, and the fol-
lowing new names appear: David
Michael John, Butte, Mont; Richard
Kilroy, Butte Mont; A. A. Durham,
Salt Lake City; M. M. Joyce, New
York; George Lane, Montreal; William
T. Byrnes, Montreal, and Adrian
WyCkOI OIL N6WdIhi IN. D.
These men presumably replace seven
old directors, including Baglin and
John Macginnis, Chester Glass, San
ford Robinson, A. G. Abel, w. ], Cur
tbs and Coils Warfield.
+. Augustus Heinze was not present
at the meeting, but his representative,
holding proxy for 100000 shares, was
on hand and it is presumed, therefore,
that the board is under Heinze's con-
troll
While the stockholders were meeting
the disappearance of the books was
being further aired before Judge La
comb in the United States court.
Judge Lacomb agreed early in the
day to give Sanford Robinson, who, as
a director, faces prison for alleged con-
tempt, until Friday to answer the
charge.
The grand jury minutes were read,
giving some details of Baglin's testl-
mony concerning the disappearance or
the books. This showed in effect that
on May 10 he had been instructed by
Heinze and Robinson at the company 8
office to find the janitor and arrange
to remove two strong trunks that had
lust been taken outside. He did SO,
and the trunks were removed.
They contained the books of the COM
many sought by the grand jury. Where
they were taken Baglin said he did not
know.
Robinson, it will be recalled, refused
to throw any further light on the
whereabouts of the books on the plea
that he was privileged to take this at
titude because of his position as coun-
sci. 1t is this stand which now threat
ents him with contempt and Will be
heard on Friday.
The question of the legality of the
election of the new directors was raised
tonight and it was reported that mem
hers of the old board would meet to-
morrow, maintain that they We're sun
the duly accredited directors and vote
to GUST Heinze from the presidency OF
the company.

DISCOVER SHORTAGE
IN FUNDS OF BANK
DEFICIT REVEALED BY EXPERT
AT LEWISTON, IDAHO
S137 600 Said to Have Been Stolen in
Small Amounts During Period
of Several Years-No
Arrests

LEWISTON, Idaho. June Ma
tional Bank Examiner Claud Catch Is
authority for the statement that a
shortage has been discovered in the
funds of the Lewiston National bank.
Bevond the fact that the stockhold-
ers have made the alleged shortage
good, Mr.. Catch declines to discuss
the situation.
It is said that the defalcation
amounts to $4,000
The alleged embezzlement has, 1t is
said, extended over a period of the last
five years, and it was made possible,
it is understood, by manipulation of
the adding machine used in computing
the daily balances.
Immediately after the condition be-
came known to the bank officials a
meeting of the stockholders was called
and the entire .defalcation made good
by them.
The Lewiston National bank and the
Idaho Trust company were consolidat-
ed about year ago. AT that time the
capital and surplus of the Lewiston
National was 100000 and the capital
of the trust company 100000.
Banks Condition
The aggregate deposits at the pres
ent time are about 100000, of which
$450,000 is subject to check. The cash
on hand is $4,000
The case has been placed in the
hands of the comptroller of the cur
rency. who will decide whether any
arrests will be made.
F. w. Kettenbach, president of the
National bank and Idaho Trust COM
pany, said:
"I corroborate the statement of Mr..
Catch as to the defalcation having
been made good. Some time since,
when 1t was discovered that defalca-
lions by employees had been committed,
the directors and larger shareholders,
after having checked up and ascer-
tanned the exact amount of the defal-
cations, paid in the total amount at
once, although a material salvage has
since been released and a further sal
wage is covered by surety bonds.
mo suspicion attaches to any en-
ploye now in the bank. The defalca-
tons show the result of a gradual alb
straction covering a peri& of five
years and no large sum was taken al
any one time"

noon on the Monrovia grounds by the

which many times before has proved
fatal to Monrovia, the Polytechnic
players, through skillful base running
and hard hitting, managed to score five
runs. From that time on the foothill
players rallied, but were only able to
hold Poly down to a total of eight runs.
Although MonroVia scored nearly as
many hits as Polytechnic, its base run

ferior, and Notwithstanding the fact
that at several stages of the game it
had the bases full, it was unable to
connect with the home plate.
Crandall and Dismukes tWirled fair
ball for Monrovia, but We're unable to
keep the Polytechnic boys from land
ing many safe hits. Yesterdays game
was merely a workout for Monrovia.
She will hook up with Compton Satur-

Monrovia players that one or more of
the men playing at present on the
Compton team are professionals.
With this in view they will draw up
the articles of eligibility for Saturday

hitherto. Following is yesterdays line
