the Bisbee bank that the money had

notified the postal authorities, and al

containing $4,000 and $4,000 respectively,

1--WE GOT A WHALEp
SHOUTS HORSEMAN,
ROUSED FROM SLEEP
Members of Which, Where and When
Club Frolic at Expense of Conn
panion Near the Alluring
Ocean

After spending the day at Balboa
bay and angling with his strong right
leg for baby shark and other species
in the little pond known as the Pa
cific, J. p. Kerner, well-known horse
man and expert rider, returned to the
city last evening in a sullen mood. He
declared the other members of the
Which, Where and When club, espe-
cially Ira Stephenson, Charley Good
rich and Chief of the Commissary
Thompson, had purposely informed a
shark of the place where he was fish
ing with a view to soaring all the other
fish away.
The account of Kerner's sport, how
ever, as told to the clubs historian, is
at variance with what the tanner OF
steeds has to say on the subject. Taken
from the log of the club made up from
the incidents of this particular outing
it reads as follows:
'.On the way down to the bay, just
after passing Huntington Beach, Ker-
ner, soothed by the sea breezes and
with the voice of the deep murmur-
ing a lullaby in his ears, went to sleep.
The last time his drowsy eyes rested
on the blue expanse he was gazing out
of the west side of the car When ne
awoke he was gazing out of window
on the left side and his eyes fell upon
the sea.
Great guns" he said with bound,
''FIave I crossed the ocean on one of
Huntington's cars? Goodrich, Thomp-
son, Stephenson, hey! Ship ahoy! Ri
toy, oolong, buenas diasl Where am
I at, Hongkong or Madrid?"
Goodrich told him they were in Ma
nila bay and were about to begin fish
ing operations.
"Let me sleep off this seasiekness
first and I'll meet the biggest fish in
Manila bay face to face and give him
the fight of his life"
Kerner was soon sound asleep on
the pier and as he reposed in slumber
that it was almost criminal to inter-
rupt, a line was bound about his right
leg and thrown off the pier. Ira
Stephenson, whose meager weight of
215 pounds, caused a swell at Avalon
as he plunged into the sea, got on
Kerners line and gave it jerk. The
latter awoke with fright as he was
about to be dragged off the pier.
Here, hurry, help!' he shouted.
Goodrich, Ira, somebody, hurry! Get
a steam shovel or a capstan. I've got
a whale!"
He held on at one end, with his feet
braced against a post, while Stephen
sons strategic movements at the other
end of the line made a mountain
trout's fin work look as passive as the
activities of a protoplasmic mass.
Goodrich and Thompson soon relieved
Kerner, and drawing in the line with
great groans and grunts landed a baby
shark about ga inches in length.
81 believe it's one of Montejos gum
boats" said Kerner before it was
landed before his eyes. Then he
walked away, swearing vengeance on
every member of the Which, Where
and When club.

to Block All Traffic

REFUSE TO AID
INSURANCE MEN
BANKERS WILL NOT CONSIDER
LIFE WRITER'S PROTEST
DENY CONNECTIONS WITH COM.
PANIES THEY REPRESENT
Underwriters Distribute Circulars
Stating Unpleasant Notoriety May
Come to Financial Institution
Because of Associations

The Bankers association of Califor-
mia will not aid the Los Angeles Lire
Underwriters association and the Life
Underwriters association of San Fran
cisco as an organization in their hight
against the practice of bankers serving
as collectors and agents for life asso-
Citations, particularly the Bankers Life
of Des Moines, Iowa. The life under
writer's, however, gain considerable
consolation from the personal attitude
of officials of the Bankers association
"The Bankers association of Califor-
MIA will take no action in appointing
committee to consider the protest OF the
life underwriters" said r. M. Welch,
chairman of the executive council of
the Bankers association. "The banks
are in no way connected with life IN
surance associations, and IL the people
are silly enough to take out that klnc
of insurance they will have to stand the
consequences"
THE life underwriters associations are
contending that the banks by acting as
collectors for the life associations ana
displaying their metal agency plates
leave an Inference with the public that
the life association is indorsed by the
bank, at least in an implied manner
an other Words says a circular issued
by the Los Angeles association, the
association uses the bank to induce the
idea that the association is as strong
as the bank"
The life underwriters are endeavoring
to show to the banks that in case of
day of reckoning when the life assocta-
tion may fail Ito meet it's contracts the
connection between the association and
the bank, may reflect unpleasantly on
the latter They have prepared a
pamphlet setting forth their reasons for
believing that such a day of reckoning
is coming, and the Los Angeles Life
Underwriters association has dis
tributed the booklet extensively among
bankers and bank directors.
