PACIFIC COAST ENTITLED TO 1T.

Some of the Eastern newspapers
have been having a good deal to say
about the failures that have been
made, financially. in holding world ex-
positions. Some of them go so far as
10 say that whether San Francisco OF
New Orleans secures the support OF
the government for q Panama expoSi-
ton. the city that loses will be the
one to be congratulated. These cd
itors in the East do not understand
the spirit OF the West. New Orleans
probably would make failure OF It on
the financial side. Financial failure
has been the rule IN the East and
South in the exposition line.
These Eastern editors predict a
business slump for tho city that wins
the exposition. Portland suffered no
injury because OF her exposition. She

OAHU RAILROAD
TO HAVE A Y.M.C.A.

With apologies to the religious edi-
tor, it may be here stated that at a
meeting of the directors of he Oahu
Railway & Land Company, held yes
terday. it was decided to employ a
Y. M. G. A. secretary for work
among the men OF the railway sys-
tenn. This move was highly recon-
mended by Mr.. Moore, the railway
secretary of the Y. III. c. A. recent
ly here, and has also been urged by
Paul Super, the local Y. NJ. G. A.
secretary.
At the meeting of raiiroa6 men pre-
sident Dillingham; most heartily en-
dorsed and urged the plan. His OBJ
servations on the mainland had con-
WINGED him that the Y M. G. A. was
a railroad necessity. Railroad man
ayers over there who were not them
selves churchmen, conceded the value
of the Y. NJ. c.. A. among the men
and put up large sums OF many an
nually for the support of such insti-
buttons along their lines.
The Y. NJ C. A. said Mr.. Dilling-
ham, was safeguard to the habits I
the men. 1t gave them something
to do in idle moments. Moreover, il
gave them the opportunity for acquir-
ing information and instruction which
would not otherwise come their way
He wanted to see the Y. M. C. A.
firmly established on the Oahu Rail
way
1T is needless to say, perhaps, that
with this recommendation of the head
of the railroad the proposition was
unanimously carried. =.

FALLS BUT LITTLE

was not nearly as much as had been
anticipated. On the board this morn

which established new quotation not
very far below the old. At the close
of the session more of the stock was
offered at $14, but bidding remained
at $13. S75. gF#N
II do not think the stock will now
go any lower" said B. F. Dillingham;
after hearing from the Stock Exchange
this morning. 81 had figured on big
drop all at once, due to the usual mis-
interpretations that follow all stock
expansion movements. But really
very little has happened. 1 do not
think that the stock will go any low

SAN FRANCISCO
BANK To MERGE

The announcement that the Bank Of
California is about to absorb the San
Francisco National Bank caused con-
siderable surprise in local financial
circles. The officers of the two banks,
declined to discuss the matter. They
would neither affirm nor deny that
negotiations are pending. All they
could be induced to admit was that
the deal is not consummated, from
which it may be readily inferred that
it lacks only the formality of COM
plotting the merger. The delay in COM
pleting the deal in said to be due to
the fact that some of the men heavily
interested in the transaction are alb
sent from the city and the final con-
summation will have to be deferred
until their return. 1t is understood
that all arrangements for the merger
have been made and the terms of the
transfer of the San Francisco Nation
al Bank to the Bank of California
agreed.
Stockholders and others interested
in the two banks admit that the mer-
ger when accomplished will prove of
benefit to both institutions and their
stockholders.
! Mergering of strong banks to make
them stronger is not new in San
Francisco The following banks have
consolidated in this city of late
years: The Bank of California and
the London and San Francisco Banks,
the latter occupying at the time the
same banking room which is now &C,
cuied by the San Francisco National
Bank. The Wells-Fargo Bank was
merged with the Bank of Nevada
forming the present Wells-Fargo Ne
vada National Bank The Anglo-Cali
fornia Bank, Limited, merged with the
London-Paris National about a yeai
ago, forming the Anglo and Londor
Paris National Bank. In each case
the merger proved of advantage ant
the three banks rank among the
strongest and best in California
Figures taken from the report O.
both the Superintendent of Banks o
the State of California, and the Con
troller of the Currency, from April 2S
1909 to March 20, 1910, show that thu
number of banks in California, Stat,

SUGAR MEN FRAUD
ARE NOW ON TRIAL

NEW YORK, May 1.-THE trial OF
Charles Heil1e, secretary of the Anne
rican Sugar Refining Company, indict-
ed for conspiracy to defraud the gov
eminent in the collection of duty on
imported sugar, has been begun.
With Heike as defendants are G.
w. Gerbracht, James R. Rendernagel,
Harry w. Walkerf, James Halligan
and j. M. Voelker, other sugar trust
officials, arrested on similar indict-
ments. They applied for separate
trials and tried desperately to secure
them, but their applications were de
MED.
The government is proceeding with
the trial of those indicted on evidence
secured through the prosecution of q
number of the weighers at the customs
wharf, it being found out that the
scales were being manipulated to show
less sugar being entered than actually
passed through the weighers hands
This had been going on for many
months and the loss to the country
through the uncollected duty was
large. A part of this loss has beer
made up by the refinery.
Four counts charge false entries o.
sugar products and two counts allege
conspiracy to defraud the government
in weighing imports.
Heike is secretary of the American
Sugar Refining Company of New Jer'
sey and secretary and treasurer of the
American Sugar Refining Company o
New York.
Gerbracht was formerly general SUI
perintendent of the two companies;
Bendernagel was formerly cashier
Walker was assistant Cock superinten'
dent, and Voelker was checker OF
the docks. Halligan was also employ
ed on the dock where imports wer,
received. Ali except Heike resigne'
