Joseph Griffin, millionaire engaged
in the meat packing business at St.

caught between the elevator floor and
the shaft, the door closing on his pro-
truding body and the upper frame of
the cage striking his head before the
operator could bring his machine to
a halt.
In the machine at the time, about
$3.50 o'clock, were two other passen-
gers, Alfred Lilienfeld, the clothier, and
Lem A. Brunson of Los Angeles. Both
of these men declare that Griffin tried
to get out of the elevator after the op-
orator had set it in motion.
DEATH INSTANTANEOUS

st4ntaneous. Britton Stevens. the on

a woman in the cage say third floor on
the ascent and stopped his car. 1t was
Miss E. McHenry of Seattle. After

ed to leave the now ascending car. He
was partly caught between the closing
door and his head struck the casing on
the head of the cage.

from Vancouver Monday and intended
to make a trip through Mexico. Oba-
diah Rich, assistant manager of the
Palace, stated that the accident, how
ever depiorable, was purely accidental
and that the statements of witnesses
absolved Stevens from all blame.

ceased, was notified immediately by
telegraph and answered in the after
noon that he would leave Vancouver

SYMMES
TO PAY Dividend
Distribution of Almost I,000,-
900 Among Depositors to
Begin May II

The receiver of the California Safe
deposit and trust company will begin
May 27 paying a 10 per cent dividend
to depositors in the insolvent institu-
tion. He announced this in Judge
Seawell's court yesterday, and the
judge denied the application of the re-
Mobilization committee that Symmes
be restrained from paying the dividend
until June 10. After the hearing was
over, both l. I. Brown and Oscar Coop
er, attorneys for the reconstruction in
terests, stated that the delay until May
q was quite satisfactory to them, and
would not Jeopardize the success of the
H. p. Wilson plan for reopening the
bank.
FIRST CASH FOR DEPOSITORS.
The receivers 10 per cent dividend
means the distribution of nearly
81 100000 in cash. The depositors have
not so far received a cent since the
smash occurred toward the end of 1907.
Receiver lie Breton was prepared to
pay a dividend more than a year ago,
tion committee.
Judge Seawell declared positively
yesterday that he would not order any
further delay in the distribution of the
assets on hand. Inasmuch as Symmes
had promised Oscar Cooper that he
would not begin sending out the checks
before May 27. the judge suggested that
this date be adhered to. Symmes con-
sented.
Oscar Cooper's statement that the
announcement of Symmes on May s
that he proposed paying a dividend
was unexpected and sudden" was de-
MED by Symmes, who quoted a letter
he wrote to Cooper on May giving
notification that he intended paying the
dividend.
WILSON CRITICISED.
Attorney A p. Van Duzer criticised
H. p. Wilson, the New York capitalist
who is financing the reorganization of
the bank, and said the whole scheme
was got up for the benefit of James
Treadwell. who was one of the direc-
tors of the bank.
II was eight years assistant United
States district attorney, during which
time I met the lions of the bar and 1
don't propose now to cringe before the

Much interest in labor union circles
centers round the report recently pre-

labor in Washington upon the evil

this trust controls the output of IL
penitentiaries and reformatories. It is

The weddings of June
that are being an
nounced from day to day
are principally of local
interest, but there is
the news of a ceremony
that will be of social
moment in more than
one city. The marriage
of Christian Miller and
Miss Bessie Rinehart

dings out of town, but
none the less interesting
to society here. Miller
| will leave in a few days
for the south and his
marriage with the pref
ty southern belle will be
celebrated Thursday,
June 16 in Covington,
Va. The wedding will
be an elaborate affair

several ushers as a mat
ter of course. The best
man at this event is TO
be Kenneth Moore who
is one of the. closest
friends of the bride
groom elect and will ac-
company Miller on the
trip to the southern city.
Christian Miller will
bring his bride here,
much to the delight of
his many friends who
have not met Miss Rine-
hart and are pleased
that the future home of
the couple is to be es-
tablished in this city.
The romance was begun
on a European trip three
years ago when Miller
was travelling abroad
and met Miss Rinehart,
who was ALSO travelling
with her parents, Mr..
and Mrs. w. A. Rinehart.
He has made frequent
trips to the home of his
