MISSING BOY IS
SOUGHT in Vain
Police Unable to Find Any Trace
OF Lad Who Disappeared
Two Weeks Ago
Lad Drops Out of Sight Follow
ing Dismissal of Sunday
School Class

Charlie Luhmann, the year old son
of Charles Luhmann of 1897 Treat ave-
nue., who disappeared following the
dismissal of the St Anthony Sunday
school class July 3, is still missing.
For a week and half the police of
the bay counties have been trying to
clear up the mystery, but the published
descriptions of the boy have brought
no return. Daily the grieving mother
visits the police station asking for
news of her little son.
Charles Luhmann, the father, says
the boy was extremely fond of horses.
Once before he was missing for two
days and then was found in the hay
loft of a barn, where he had remained
to be near the horses. Another time
he was kicked by horse when he in
sisted on stroking the animal.
The father says the boy is sturdy
fellow, who has the courage to solicit
help if hungry or in need. His faith is,
however, becoming shaken as the days
pass without word being received.
Charlie attended the Sunday school
class with his sister Frances, who is
two years older. He was dressed in
corduroy knee breeches, brown blouse
with white stripes and green cap. He
has very light hair, closely cropped;
blue eyes and round, bold face.

POLICE ASKED TO
GUARD CHILDREN
Commission Requests Chief to
Detail Officer to Each
Playground
Director q. A. Schlitter Reports
on Success of Fourth of
July Celebrations

The playground commission, in ses-
sion yesterday. with Mrs. Lowell White
in the chair, requested the chief of po-
lice to detail one or more policemen to
each playground. Not that there has
been any trouble calling for police in
reference, the commission agreed, but
just to let those who frequent these
places know that there will be some
one who will look after them.
Mrs. L. A. Hayward was requested
to investigate a request for a play
ground in Sixteenth street between Noe
and Sanchez. .
The Potrero promotion association
offered the commission it's assistance
to prepare Jackson park a play
ground. The club will be informed that
the commission is having the park
graded and that the northern half will
be made into a ball ground.
The commission accepted the old
Madison school site from. the board of
education. Superintendent Williamson
was instructed to view the ground and
report what work is needed.
George A. Schlitter, director of the
Fairgrounds, reported on the success
at the several Fairgrounds of the
fourth of July celebrations and that
the cost to the commission was S1,457.
He added that since the fourth the at
tendance at the North beach grounds
had increased 25 per cent. He sug-
gested that a, woman be placed in
charge of the girls section. The ap-
pointment will be made.
Commissioner McLaren was request
ed to see that $50 trees, shrubs and
plants are set in the Harrison street
grounds, which will be ready for open
ing about September ].
A plan for the arrangement of the
girls section of the grounds at North
beach was presented by Director Schlit-
ter and he was ordered to carry 1t out.
1t was decided to develop the Spring
Valley school site into a playground
as soon as the shack school is removed.

pointed to apportion the $4,000 which
has been allowed to the commission.

Henry F. Pierce Files Petition
in Bankruptcy

Henry f. Pierce of San Francisco,
interested in mining projects and for
merly an asparagus grower on an ISL
and in the San Joaquin river near
Stockton, filed a petition in bankruptcy
yesterday. His liabilities are scheduled
at s149,446.74, with no assets. Accord
ing TO the petition Pierce owes S25.-
1884 on secured notes; s95,59S.80 on
unsecured notes, and s20,745.32 on ac-
commodation paper, consisting of notes
and bills. The money is owed to the
Stockton savings bank, various mer-
chants in Stockton and two eastern
parties.
The bank is secured by 100000 shares
of stock in the Comstock lode mining
company. His life is insured for $l0,-
O00 but this is not scheduled as an
available asset.
Pierces financial difficulties COM
menced a year ago last winter. AT that
time he had heavy investments in as
paragus growing on an island in the
San Joaquin river. The high water of
that winter destroyed his crops and he
has been unable to regain his financial
standing.
NJ. J. Thomson, a farmer near Salinas,
Monterey county, filed petition in
bankruptcy yesterday in the United
States district court. His liabilities are
scheduled at s2,534.9S, with $500 in

FAIRS FOLLOWED
BY PROSPERITY
Cities Which Have Held Recent
Exp0sitions Tell of Pros
porous Times
San Francisco Committee About
Ready to Inaugurate PUB
licity Campaign

The few San Franciscans or Califor-
mans whose visions of happiness dur
ing the period of the 1915 worlds fail
are clouded by the fear of business
depression immediately afterward viii
have their doubts dispelled by the facts
and figures which the publicity com
mittee of the exposition company is
collecting.
Requests have been sent to prac-
tically all of the cities that have helt
worlds fairs during the last quarter oi
century, seeking information or
business conditions before and after.
G. w. Wattles, president of the
Omaha and Council Bluffs street rail
way company, who was president oi
the trans Mississippi international ex-
position at Omaha in 1898, has writer
that the exposition was the beginning
of an epoch of unparalleled prosperity
From 1893 to 1898, he wrote. Omaha
conditions had been execrable, owing
to the failure of crops and the free
silver craze. The exposition, he said
changed conditions, brought new life
to the city and new business. The fair
was followed by a steady and sub
stantial progress Stock holders re-
ceived back s2l2 per cent of the sub
scriptions.
Seattle also has experienced better
commercial conditions since the closing
of the AlaskaYukon fair. According
to figures submitted by the Seattle
chamber of commerce. bank clearings
during December, 1909, showed an in
crease of more than 100000 over
the corresponding month of 1908.
Realty sales almost doubled and the
population became substantially aug
mented.
Today, according to this report, the
wholesale and jobbing companies are
doing business which increases 10
per cent month by month. New hotels
and apartments are now housing many
of the later arrivals, thus keeping the
business of the old hotels practically
at par. All, however, report better
conditions than existed prior to the
fair
The Chicago chamber of commerce
reported no decrease In business, de-
spite the fact that the panic of 1893
prevailed during the progress of the
fair. Clearing house reports realty
sales, statistics of building permits all
show Chicago slowly forging ahead
during the few tumultuous years in
which the full effect of the great panic
was felt The fact that there was
actually no business depression in the
face of this panic is laid to some ex-
tent to the beneficial effects of the
worlds fair.
The local exposition company, through
daily meetings of the publicity COM
mittee. is completing its plan for a.
country wide campaign for San Fran
cisco. The smaller details are being
worked out at these sessions and prepa-
rations are being made to begin the
campaign with rush. It's inaugura-
tion appears now to be but a matter
of a few days.

$500 FOUND WHILE
RAKING IN GARDEN
Bill Sticks in Tines of Garden.
ing Implement

A dilapidated $500 bill stuck on the
end of one OF the tines of her garden
rake was the reward reaped by Mrs.
Mary Wagner of Earlham, Ia, for rak-
ing her yard one day recently
She noticed an old piece of paper had
gotten stuck on one of the tines of the
rake in such peculiar manner that
she could not remove it without using
her hands, says the Chicago Inter
Ocean. While unloosening the faded
paper she noticed that its size was the
same as banknote. Investigating
closer she detected the faint outlines
of engraving on the face of the paper
The next day she presented the paper
to the Citizens national bank where a
microscopic examination showed it to
be a $500 bill In badly decayed con-
dition. Upon being sent to the treas
ury department at Washington, how
ever. it was pronounced genuine and
was replaced with a new $500 note.
Five hundred dollar bills are not plen-
tifu1 around Earlham, and although the
find has been advertised no claimants
have appeared.

them for OrovilIe yesterday afternoon.
Jones said he never saw the mine.
Niemeyer wanted him to buy it, he de-
ciared. and he sent an engineer to in
vestigate. who reported that it was not
worth 100000. the price Rosenthal
asked for it. That was all he knew
about it. Niemeyer said his only in
terest in the mine was to promote its
sale and get commission. When
Jones refused to buy it he dropped it.
The two other men, W. III. Shewan
and j. III. Kennedy, who were arrested
in Reno in connection with the same
offense, have been arraigned in Oro-

Especial Dispatch TO The Call

SACRAMENTO, July 14.-The belief
was expressed at the secretary OF
states office today that the probability
was that more than one aspirant for
nomination for the senate and assem-
bly, would be left out because of the
inability to have their petitions at the
office on Saturday. July 16, the last day
of filing. Particularly will this be true
of remote counties.
Another obstacle will be reached in
fling the fees with the secretary OF
state. as many of these fees have been
turned over to the county treasurers
The affected counties in which one or
more assembly districts are composed
are:
Humboldt, Mendocino, Butte, Nevada,
Sonoma. Napa, Yolo, Sacramento, So

BARRIE'S IDEAS COME
BY TOBACCO OUNCES
Noted Writer Said to Gauge His
Work by Pipe

]. NJ Barrie's passion for tobacco is
well known and 1t Is not surprising
that he gauges his work by his pipe
whether he writes paragraphs, a leader
or a novel. Writing for newspaper
he secures an idea after four pipes,
says the Boston Herald. A chapter of
a novel is the result of Ia ounces. And
others can not write without thinking,
or think before writing, if they are
smoking. Charles Lamb summed it all
up in his Farewell to Tobacco"
Filth of the mouth and fog Of the
mind.

Breeds no such prodigious poison.
