TOWN BOARD OF TRUSTEES
GUSTS MAYOR FROM OFFICE

OAKLAND, Oct. 26.-Frank J. Rob
erts, the mayor of Albany, a small
town near the Contra Costa line, has
been removed from office by his broth
err trustees and the people of the town
are greatly aroused over the matter.
Trouble started some time ago when
Robots was forced to remain away
from the trustee meetings on account
of an injury. Trustees A. S. Lin
quist and A. p. Hanscome each de-
sired to occupy the chair during his
absence which created somewhat of a
fractional jealousy, G. w. Browne and
Ed Cushing taking up an opposition
with the result that with the resigna-
ton of one member of the board they
came into majority and at once ousted
the mayor. Roberts continues to be
a member of the board, however.

BOSTON, Oct. 26.-The $500 900
worth of products of the far east which
the British steamer Kaisenga has just
brought to this port were carried
across the seas amid many perils.
The Kaisenga's trouble began on
July II last, when she was four days
out from Colombo for New York. The
steamer ran into monsoon on that
day, and simultaneously the crew had
TO fight a fire which had broken out
in a bunker. Before the blaze was
subdued it had done damage estimated
at $4,000.
The Kaisenga rode out the storm
safely A coral reef then brought trou-
BILE, the steamer scraping over it on
August s between Singapore and Kobe,
but managing to work off without seri-
Gus damage.
Hardly had the steamer left Calcut-
ia on September for Boston than she
ran down and sunk a native fishing
schooner. There were no casualties.
STRUCK ANOTHER STEAMER
Backing away from the schooner the
steamer landed on mud bank. The
rising tide released her While the
steamer was loading tea and rubber
at Colombo the British steamer
Janus, in preparing to sail, parted her
stern lines and ran against the Kaisen-
ga, nearly pushing the Kaisenga into
the sea wall, but doing little damage.
An Arab fireman, crazed by the heat
of the fire room, rushed on deck while
the steamer was passing through the
Red sea and jumped overheard. He
was not seen again.
Half way across the Atlantic there
was another suicide, q pet monkey
belonging to one of the officers leap
ing into the sea. The remainder of
the voyage was unexciting, but Cap

one of the most successful cases oC
stock watering on record. The stock,

The stock was purchased years

Investigation showed that the mining
property it was supposed to repre-
sent was a large and useless hole in

desert. Brink decided to use the
stock, so he papered his room. Yes
terday he found out that rare porce-

worth several thousand dollars. He

WASHINGTON
INVESTIGATES
LAND FRAUDS

Olympia, Wash. April 12.-The
report of the legislative investigat-
ing committee appointed by the les
islature last year, which has just
been made public by Governor Hay,
is the subject of much speculation
by officials here and the ultimate re-
suits of the recommendation are
expected to have far reaching ef,
fects.
The report, while covering a vari-
ETY. of matters, deals most extensive
ly with the state land department
and the findings charge the loss of
millions of dollars to the state
through the incompetency or dis
honesty of land office cruisers and
through poor judgment in the selec
ton of state indemnity and govern
ment land grants.
The frauds practiced on the state
through collusion or incompetency
of cruisers, it Is asserted, have cX-
listed for a number of years and
specific instances are recited cover
ing the period from 1901 to the pres
ent time and embracing part or all
of the administration if the two com
missioners. 1t appears from the re-
port that the stand of timber on
many quarter sections of land has
been greatly underestimated by the
cruisers and that although the land
and timber were offered at public
auction, the sales brought to the
state only a small fraction of the
value of the property.
The committee recommends a re-
vision of the state land laws, the
creation of two appointive members
of the land board, and provisions
for the cruise of all state timber
lands.
Another recommendation is that
the investigation of the land depart
ment be continued.
The report exonorates the state
oil inspector of charges, but declares
that the present inspection law is
useless. 1t accuses ex-state fair
commissions of extravaganza in
horse racing expenditures and form
er secretaries are charged with in
competency.

One of the most interesting feat

anecdotal tone of Mr. Davenport's
excerpts from his life history as re-
lated to his carioatures of and inter
course with the great politicians Of
the country.
