English army officer and fought the
Beers in Africa. After a residence in
New York. he finally became an Ameri-

the Citizens alliance. and it was not

CaIkins Papers Caused Loss

While the accounts are being
checked up no charge has been made
against any officer or employe of the
organization. The authorization of
certain expenditures is said to be the
issue and this it is stated is largely a
technical consideration.
The chief source of uncertainty is
the investment in the Calkins publish
ing house. The Calkins periodicals
were generally regarded as the organs
of the alliance, but it was never clear
just what arrangement existed. With
the wreck of the Calkins company the
Citizens alliance has discovered its
losses.
Rumors last night were to the effect
that Pinkerton detectives had been
called into the case, but for what pur-
pose was not clear. No member of the

BRADBURY FRFTS

WAY TO LIBERTY
Millionaire Convicted of Perjury
Protests Against Detention
Pending Court Action
Attorney Asks Habeas Corpus
and Prisoner Desires Pros
lection From Enemies

William E. Bradbury again slept in
the Marin county Jail last night. after
having eluded Sheriff William P. Tay-
lor of Marin county, who was on his
trail for nearly p hours. While he was
in the cold. lonely cell, desiring to have
a constable stationed at the door to
keep away enemies. the supreme
court held in its archives fresh petit
ton for writ of habeas corpus. filed
during the afternoon by Bradbury's at
torney. Charles H. FairalI The court
did not act upon the petition yester-
day
The document states that the pris-
oner is being illegally restrained of his
liberty, in that Governor Gfllett had
granted him a reprieve of so days
Fears Enemies and Prison
Last evening Bradbury, from his
prison cot. delivered himself of an in
terview in which he expressed fear of
his enemies" whoever they might be.
and expressed dread of San Quentin
prison, saying that he did not think he
could live out his sentence if he were
incarcerated.
While Bradbury complained sorely
last evening of a stiffness in his joints,
he displayed a rare agility for one so
old yesterday morning at 5 o'clock,
when Sheriff Taylor located Bradbury
in the home Of his brother in law,
George H. Marsh. s4S Capp street. AS
the sheriff rang the front door bell the
aged millionaire scrambled over a back
fence and escaped down a rear street.
Later in the day he appeared at the
sherif's Office in san Rafael. accompa-
nied by his attorney. Judge Fairall.
Memory Proves Elastic
When Bradbury entered the office the
sheriff was waiting to greet him.
oh, here you are. Where were you
last night?" asked the sheriff.
Il was at my brother in laws, Mr.
Marsh's. You could have reached me
there by telephone at any time last
night
Didn't you go out of the back door
of your brother in laws house at $50
o'clock this morning when / went to
the front door2" Taylor asked.
4 couldn't say as to that" replied
Bradbury, his elastic memory swapping
back to its shortest length.
4 know you sneaked out of the back
door and over the fence and down a
side street." insisted the sheriff.
Bradbury refused to discuss that as
pect of his adventures. He was too
busy protesting against being locked
up in a cell.

Friction Over Policies

That there has been friction between
McKinery and the directors OF the alH-
ance is not denied. In fact, it is openly
stated that his retirement was due to
a divergence of policies. The dissat-
isfaction withAIeKinery increased dur
ing the last few months until it
reached its climax with the end of
July. There was dep displeasure at
McKinery's difficulties with certain
creditors, especially as he was in re-
ceipt of god salary. He is said To
have drawn $500 month, but this. & is
alleged. was insufficient for him TO
meet his obligations at jewelers. and
furniture dealers.
The denials of irregularities were
repated last evening after the meeting
of the directors adjourned. The ses-
sion was held in the offices of the Citi-
zens' alliance on the ninth floor of the
Merchants Exchange building.
1T was not an urgent or special
meeting said Alfred l. Esberg, and
only routine matters were considered -

A newspaper can never very
creditabl!y represent town whose
business men do not advertise. He
may howl himself hoarse Dragging
about the vim, energy and enter
prise of his town. bnt if his declara-
tions are not backed up by a liberal
amount of advertising by the bust
ness men of the town, the world
will be slow to take his statement
as true, 1t takes more than the
unsupported testimony of the local
newspaper man to prove to the
world that his town is the financial
center, the business center, the
best market. and the best place on
earth to buy goods: his evidence
needs corroboration.

NEW CONTROVERSY ON

(by Walter Wellman.l !

WASHINGTON, w Jan. 13.--President
Roosevelt's penchant for having things
done. and done at once. has involved
him In another controversy with con-
gress--another phase OF that which
now appears to be an irrepressible and
lnterminablo conflict, or which would
be intermlnable were 1t not for the
approach OF March A.
When the magnificent new Union

which extends from the White house
to the capitol. 1t was regarded BY
every one as an eyesore. and Presf
dent Roosevelt was asked by citizens
to have 1t torn down and the ground
cleared of all rubbish. He Instructed
Colonel Bromwell. the commissioner Of
public buildings and grounds. to raze
the old building and remove all the
debris. This was done, greatly to
the Improvement OF the city and to
the satisfaction of the people.
NOW comes the United States SEN
eagerly hunting bones of contention
with the president. claiming that Mr..
Roosevelt had no legal right to order
The destruction of the old station and,
OF course, demanding an Investigation.
Action and assertion appears to be
the long suit at the White house end

ton at the congressional end. Much
influence is being exerted upon SEN
ator Scott. chairman OF the committee
on public buildings and grounds, to in.
duce him to have his committee report
resolution providing for an investiga.
ton OF this affair. The West Virginia
senator. II Is said, has held down
resolution of the kind owing to the
taiked-of differences between himself
ana the president, and from a desire
not to appear to be personally un-
friendly to the president. In spite Of
this attitude. however. It is the In
tention OF the senate. Democrats and
Republicans alike. to have such an In.
vestigation. and II Senator Scott's
