BROWN BETS THAT
WHITE is WRONG

SACRAMENTO, Nov s.-Chairman
Alex Brown of the state board of equal
ization has fired another cannonade of
words at Mayor Clinton l. White of
disapproval of the raise in assessment
made by the equalizers on the people
of the south.
Brown offers to bet 800 that he is
right and that Mayor White is wrong
and wants to place the decision of the
matter before an arbitration board.
Mayor Whites contention is that the
raise in assessment in the south was
not just and that it served to relieve
the railroad companies of many thou
sands of dollars in taxes. Mayor White
does not show any disposition to accept
the wager.

MOTHER SEEKING
HER MISSING SON
Young Man Disappears During

Sends Word That He Has Come
to the End of the
Trail

Your prediction has come true, and 1
find that mamma is the only friend af-
ter ALL
This sentiment contained in a few
scribbled lines upon a postal card writ
ten in Oakland, October. 81, is the last
word that Mrs. Florence Jennings of
623 Central avenue. Los Angeles. has
received from her 20 year old son,
Charles Humme1. who left his home two
months ago in search of his girl wife
who had deserted him.
SEEKING HER son
Mrs. Jennings and her husband, Otis
Jennings, stepfather of the missing lad.
are now in San Francisco conducting a
frantic search for the young man and
hoping TO find him and take him back
with them to their home In the south
ern city. They arrived from Los An
geles yesterday and are stopping at
the Brooklyn hotel 365 First street,
from where they are conducting their
search.
Mrs. Jennings is the proprietor of a
millinery store in Los Angeles, and her
son was married about two years ago
to one of her young women employees,
of the young couple did not prosper
and about three months ago Mrs. Hum
mel left her husband and came north.
Hummel was then working as a painter
at Agnew. About three weeks after
his wife's departure he received a mes
sage from her to follow her north. He
left Agnew Immediately and has not
been seen since that time by any mem
bers of his family.
DnSnau cann
Jennings received a postal card from
his stepson from Sacramento shortly
after the latter's disappearance. but
nothing more was heard until his
mother received the postal card dated
Oakland, October 81. Hummel said in
that message that he had been under
going great deal of worry and trouble
and that all was over between himself
and his wife. He added that he might
be home soon. but no further word has
been received from him.
Mrs. Jennings has applied to the po
lice of San Francisco and Oakland and
to the painters union locals in both
cities to assist her in the search for
her son.

is making an extraordinary record of
earnings when it is considered that its

year of 1909 should somewhat exceed

STOCKS

Boston.-On the theory that the good
news is out, traders sold the market
this morning, but they failed to get any
following and We're obliged to buy
back their stocks on the advance.
Amalgamated and Steel both acted
specially well and close strong We
think the short interest larger than
some time and will be forced to cover.
With Steel paying four per cent and
every probability of raising 1t soon
we see no reason for expecting a de-
cline. The continued dullness in the
metal market is very trying and dis
couraging but conditions can change
very materially as has been proven
by the money market which changed
from extreme ease to tightness in a
week. The Amster stocks were more
prominent today led by Arizona Com
mercial and we look for higher prices
for Corbin, Shannon and Arizona

Boston, Oct 27.-The early market
taday was weak, Influenced by general
street disappointment over the quar-
terly showing of the Steel corporation.
The statement of earnings was ex-
tremely satisfactory and all that could
be expected but the influential papers
in New York have been talking so ex-
travagantly concerning the steel bust
ness that a better showing than that
made was expected.
Some strength in local coppers also
appeared but the comparative dullness
of the market after 1T had materially
rallied was not very stimulating. Pend
ing developments of more favorable
nature II looks very evident that prices
have advanced as much as can be rea-
sonably expected. For the next few
weeks sales on rallies seem advisable.
