DIRECTORS PROPOSE
BANKING COMBINE
Amalgamation of California and
San Francisco Institutions
Under Consideration

The plans for the amalgamation of
the Bank of California national associa-
ton and the San Francisco national
bank were submitted to the stock hold
ers yesterday afternoon. The plan,
which has the unanimous approval OF
the directors of both institutions. in
brief is as follows:
The Bank of California is to increase
its capital stock from 40. 900 shares.
having par value of 81 .00O, 900 TO So
600 shares. having a par value of sS,-
100000. by capitalizing 100000 of its
surplus and undivided profits, and by
authorizing the issue of 5000 additional
shares. OF such increase 10000 shares
are to be allotted to the present stock
holders of the Bank of California and
5000 shares are to be used in part pay
ment for the assets to the San Fran
cisco national bank
For the 10000 issued shares OF the
San Francisco national the bank OF
California is to pay $4,000 in cash.
and. in addition thereto. is TO deliver
5000 shares of the new capital stock of
the Bank of California This cash pay
ment and stock will be divided among
the present share holders of the San
francisco national in proportion to the
number of shares now held by such
share holders, and each share holder of
the San Francisco national will receive
$3.50 in cash. and. in addition thereto
q half share Of the new capital stock of
the Bank of California FOR each share
of the stock of the San Francisco ma
tional which he may own.
If the proposition is approved by the
share holders of the Bank of California
the directors of that institution will de-
clare a dividend of $4,000, 900 out of the
surplus and undivided profits, to enable
the share holders to pay for the proper
tion Of the increased capital stock to
which they will be entitled to subscribe
Dividends at the rate of per cent
per annum will be declared upon the
increased capital, which means
that the share holders will receive the
same amount in dividends as they have
heretofore received at the rate of IS per
cent per annum upon the present capi-
talization.

before the supreme court on a petition

Kern county, according to the decision
of the supreme court in bank and filed
yesterday. The defendants in the ac-
ton have attempted to have the case
tried out of Kern county. where Tevis
has heavy property interests and has
lived for a number of years.
Justice Melvin wrote the decision
and it is concurred in by the other
members of the court. In reviewing
the petition of the defendants, whose
action for mandamus was filed
against the superior court Of Kern

cision handed down yesterday the pro-
ceedings OF the convention are re-
viewed to show that no especial con-

The comedienne is ranked as one Of
the greatest if not absolutely the

Lily Lena and Alice Lloyd in the re-
spect that she not only acts her songs
but assumes the costumes and appear

her stage favorite, and she adds to
this histrioniC gift a personality OF en-
Eaging appeal and a singers gift of

limited to four weeks, when she had
