APPEALS TO DEPOSIT0RS'
WOULD DELAY DIVIDEND
Julius w. Raphael Issues Statement on
His California Safe Deposit Plan
TSpecial Dispatch 10 The Call

bring the depositors an immediate cash
payment Of % per cent and later their
full dollar for dollar while the declara-
tion of the dividend might complicate
and delay the work OF the reorganiza-
tion committee. Every depositor should
make definite expression of his desire
that declaration of the dividend be
postponed for at least so days.
For this purpose petition to Judge
Seawell asking for this postponement
has been prepared and / earnestly and
heartily urge all depositors, irrespec-
tive of whether they are members of
our association or otherwise, to go i'm
mediately to the office of the reorgan-
ization committee in the Kohl build
ing and sign it,
"Depositors must not allow them
selves to be misled or influenced by
criticism of the value of the assets. A
most exhaustive review of the assets
as late as yesterday on behalf of the
powerful eastern insterests financing
the reorganization not only confirms
the previous estimate of their value,
but reveals prospective values to many
of the assets which will enormously
increase their present appraisement."

Millionaire Thompson Will
Swear Out Warrant for the
NOrdoff Woman
Says in Packing Her Trunks She
Took His Silver Ware and
Handsome Clock

Hazel Nordoff, the woman on whom
Frank W. Thompson the millionaire,
spent $4,000, has evidently made good
her word to fit to the east, for all the
efforts of the police to find her yester-
day proved unavailing.
Thompson said he would swear out
a warrant for her arrest this morning
He complained to acting Chief of De-
tectives Fitzgerald that in packing her
trunks the Nordoff woman had absent
mindedly stored therein a quantity OF
silver ware and a large, handsome clock
belonging to him. He was accompanied
to the police station by the landlady of
notorious resort in Turk street.
I'm case we find the woman said
Fitzgerald, where shall you be so that
We may communicate with you?"

out, Il have no home. I am that unique

He'll be there said she.

In brief conversation with -Thomp-
son, Fitzgerald endeavored to bring the
man around to more rational mode Of
behavior.
That's all right said Thompson. Il

weeks ago the police wanted to arrest
the Nordoff woman, but to this he
strenuously objected.

case and 1 will refuse to prosecute her.
His decided stand prevented the po-
lice from taking the steps they desired.
Fitzgerald did not believe that Thomp
