The ethics of the advertising bust

keeping up the moral tone of a news
paper were the themes upon which
James Schermerhorn, general manager
of the Detroit Times, noted publicist
and editorial writer, addressed the ad-
vertising men of San Francisco yes
terday at their weekly luncheon.
Casting his remarks in allegorical |
figures, Schermerhorn pictured the up

FORMER BANKER in
MAZE OF LITIGATION
Prosecution for Fraud, Suit for
Divorce and Demand Made
for AlimOny

The preliminary hearing of w. c.
Hays, banker, on a charge of over
drawing his account while a director of
the State savings and commercial bank,
thereby violating the banking laws,
was continued yesterday before Police
Judge Shortall
To show that he owned about IS per
cent of the stock of the Union state
bank, which is a creditor of the State
bank to the amount of $4,000, Hays
identified certificates of stock sold to
him by various stock holders.
The prosecution tried to prove that
Hays simply held the stock as trustee
and that he was to give the stock hold
ers shares in return in the Union ma
tional bank when it was formed. To
back up this contention the cross eX-
animation OF Hays was continued until
today to enable the prosecution to
examine the bank records.
While Hays is defending himself in
the police court against charge of
breach of the banking laws and In
department of the superior court is
contesting his wife's suit for divorce
in department | of the superior court
he must explain why he is unable to
pay alimonY to a former wife, Jessa-
mine Hays. The latter obtained a
divorce October IA, 1906.
Mrs. Hays Informed Judge Seawell
yesterday that for eight months past
Hays had paid her nothing. Hays
testified that his monetary assets con
sist of a credit of about 5000 and %
cents in cash.
Asked where he got the money to
buy a ticket for the Orpheum one
night last week, Hays replied that his
attorney, Joe Jordan treated him to the
nights entertainment. He informed
the court further that Mrs. Jessamine
Hays during two and half years of
their married life squandered $35, 900,
her wants including expensive trips to
Europe and frequent automobile rides.

CALHOUN GOES EAST
UNKNOWN TOCOURT
Indicted Street Railway Official
Leaves Without Asking
Judges Permission

Making no public announcement of
dicted president of the United Rail-
roads left San Francisco Tuesday night
for the east. Philadelphia is believed
to be the first city in which he will
stop, and it is said he plans to remain
away from San Francisco six or eight
weeks.
The trial of Calhoun was at it's last
continuance placed on the calendar of
Judge Lawlor's court for March 20. In
view of the continued absence of Big
jim" Gallagher and the improbability
likely the trial of the street railroad
magnate will be actually begun on
that date.
On former occasions when Calhoun
has gone east he had first obtained
the consent of the court. That for
mality was not deemed necessary this
time. Judge Lawlor yesterday refused
to discuss any phase of the question
of Calhoun's departure. but the records
of his court show that no permission
was granted the indicted man to leave
this jurisdiction, nor was any leave
asked for.
District Attorney Fickert said that
Calhoun did not ask his consent to
make the eastern trip.
II did not know that Calhoun was
going or had gone until l read ii in a
newspaper" added Fickert Il know
of no law that required that he should
get permission from me or the court
or any one else. He is out on bail. and
other indicted men in the same posi-
ton have made frequent trips out of
the state without anything being said
about it. Crothers, proprietor of the
Bulletin. is under Indictment, and he
has left the state whenever he felt
like it without seeking permission.
Drumm, De Saba and Martin. the Of
ficials of the gas company, have all left
the courts jurisdiction many times

The Danger of forest Fires

The appalling loss of life and the
enormous property loss by reason OF
the terrible forest fires this season
should be lesson to all, and every
person should constitute himself a
committee Of one to see that no
more fires are started and in the
event some are should use every
possible endeavor to stop their
spreading.
Carelessness on the part of camp
ers or persons burning slashings is
very liable to result in the destruct-
ion of thousands Of dollars worth of
timber and the possible loss of life.
For several weeks past heavy pail
of smoke has hung over the entire
northwest, making navigation dan
gerous and obstructing the views
that thousands have travelled for
hundreds of miles to see. Towns
and villages have been wiped out OF
existence and hundreds of lives have
been sacrificed in an endeavor to
stay the maddening onrush of the
flames. Idaho and Montana have
been suffering appalling losses to
both life and property and the end
does not appear to be in sight.
Washington is also experiencing the
worst fires in its history in spite of
the fact that fire wardens have
worked diligently to prevent them,
and hundreds of fire fighters are
working night and day in a frantic
effort to stay their progress. 1t is
nothing short of criminal to allow a
camp or brush fire to go unmatched
or to start either where there is the
least possible danger of its spread
ing. San Juan county has suffere ed
but little loss as yet this season from
fires and the Islander hopes that it
will not. Every precaution should
be taken to avoid them and no
fire, however small it may be, should
not be left until after every scintil-
la of spark or fame shall have been
extinguished. Driven before a
strong northeast wind the terrible
fires in Whatcom county got beyond
the control of the hundreds of fire
fighters the first of the weok4 and
swept over a large area of country
causing enorumos loss. Aside from
the valuable timber licked up by the
flames several homes, mills and
bridges have been destroyed. In "a
majority of cases a little precau-
ton might have stopped a this.
Don't wait until the horse is stolen
before locking the barn.
