time and rendered our services. but
as all hands were ashor and the ship
hard and fast and in no immediate
danger, all we could do was 10 invite
the officers and men TO the station

as possible"
Captain connick is OF the opinion
that she will hold together until she
can be diamantled, but that she is
doomed to breakup very soon. She
is cement laden, or partially laden,
and il she springs a leak, this will
soon settle all matters OF that sort.

Aubert, who. il is said, was making
his FIRST voyage as master OF the

years, and latterly as her first officer.
He and his fine ship are well known
in this port and at Portland, and
there are many to deplore the uneom-

him.
Captain Aubert and his men win
probably be here on Sunday or Mon

STEAMER BURNS
TO WATER EDGE
100000 VESSEL DESTROYED
AT STOCKTON
Upper Works of Vessel Consumed,
Hull Seriously Damaged and Ma
chinery Ruined-Carried
No Insurance
CBy Associated Press.)

STOCKTON, July 1.-The steamer
Isleton of the California Transporta-
tion company, valued at 100000,
burned to the waters edge this morn
ing. The entire cargo had been re-
moved before the fire started.
The fire started shortly after >
o'clock in the hold aft, where 1t could
not be smothered owing to its location
and the dense smoke.
The cry of Fire" brought the fire
men from the engine house opposite
the wharf of the steamer, and though
they worked heroically were unable to
save the vessel, though they managed
to keep the flames away from the oil
tanks in the bow, containing 5000 gal
Ions of crude oil.
Six streams were brought to bear
upon the doomed boat, when gen
eral alarm was finally turned in, but
II was two and a half hours before
the fire was under control.
The upper works of the boat are
burned away and the machinery is
ruined The hull is also believed to
be badly damaged, though the boat Is
still floating.
When the destruction of the freight
shed and offices was threatened the
steamer was pushed away from that
side of the channel by a launch to the
concrete bulkhead on the other side.
Advices from Sacramento are to the
effect that the. steamer was not in
Sured.

SO MILLION DOLLAR
SHORTAGE REPORTED
National Bookkeepers Assert Cheer
fully That This Big Deficit
Is Less Alarming Than
1t Appears

WASHINGTON, July 1.-Ordinarily a
deficit in the government revenues Of
S9,S11 ,156, as shown by today's state
ment, would not be a matter of con-
graduation. Nevertheless, at the
close of the fiscal year 1909 the treas
ury officials express much qualification
that the official estimate of a deficit
of $114, 600, 900 made last December has
not been verified.
The customs receipts for the year
aggregate 1901 ,209 1863, which is an in
crease as compared with last year Of
ST., 5,000 900.
The internal revenue produced $246,-
329, ,063, a decrease of about $5,OOO,OOO.
Miscellaneous receipts aggregated
$56, $685. ,919, which is falling off of
about $6,5O0,0OO.
The receipts from all sources during
the year aggregated 1904, ,432. S46, which
is an increase over last year of $780,
900.
On the side of expenditures, the to-
tai for the year was 1894 ,244,0 ,002, which
is an increase over 1908 of about $97,-
000, 900.
The civil and miscellaneous expen-
ditures amounted to 1854, 53S, an in
crease of S., 900, 600 over last year.
1t is fully expected that the new
fiscal year will start with a series of
monthly deficits.

GIRL B0RR0WS BABY AND
CAUSES MUCH EXCITEMENT
Unable to Conquer Love for Children,
She Innoeently Walks OFF
With Infant

NEW YORK, July 1.-Alice Holzer,
the 13-year-old daughter of Mrs. Agnes
Holzer of ST. Louis, who is visiting
relatives here, was the cause of such
excitement in the Bronx yesterday that
il was not until today the population
recovered itself
Alces fondness for babies is so
strong she could not restrain herself
when she saw a pretty little infant
sleeping in go-cart in front of a store
in the Bronx, and she walked off with
the vehicle and the baby
When the mother came out she set
UP a cry that her child had been kid
naped, the neighborhood was aroused
and police reserves from several sta
tions were put on the case, News
papers published extra editions, detail
ing reporters on the case.
Before the day was over hundreds
of men and women became volunteer
searchers and every baby and its
possessor was scrutinized.
Late in the evening Alice Holzer was
found by a woman, who had read the
papers, at point far removed from
where the child was taken. Alice could
not explain why she had taken the
baby, except she had always wanted
one and her father had jokingly said
he would steal her one some time.

NEW YORK, July although COM

to inspect the body, believes 1t is Leon,
as do the police
If it is Leon. the cause of his death

theory, that of suicide. would appear
reasonable.
The body was discovered by Clinton

was out OH the river in a motor boat
