CHECK FURNITURE FOR
NEW HALL OF RECORDS
Supervisors Manning and Prid-
ham Remain from Meeting

Supervisors Manning and Pridham
remained away from the meeting of
the board of supervisors yesterday,
being unwilling to participate in the
checking of the list of furniture for
the new hall of records. They op-
posed Supervisors Eldridge, McCabe
and Nellis, the "solid three" in ac-
cepting the bid of the California Fur
niture company as whole after the
company had declined to price piece
by piece the furniture it agreed to
supply.
The furniture company offered to
make deductions from its total bid of
S247,7O0 after the supervisors had
stricken from the list of furniture ar
ticles they were willing to do without.
Supervisors Manning and Pridham
did not approve of the arrangement.
and as a result the ''solid three
checked through the list alone yes
terday The county superintendent OF
schools and the tax collector were
questioned as to the minimum amount
of furniture needed in their offices.

PRICES Of STOCKS
NARROW IN RANCE
Speculation on New York Market
Meets with Obstacle of
Free Selling
COPPER FIGURES UNCERTAIN
Requirements of Crop Movement
Still dissatisfied According
to Latest Figures
COPPER FIGURES UNCERTAIN
Associated PressI

NEW YORK, Oct. 7.--Speculation
lapsed into apathy today and prices VI
brated withil a narrowing range.
There was an appearance of strength
at times, but the effort to advance the
prominent speculative stocks met with
the same kind of obstacle in the form
of free selling as earlier in the week.
The strength of the copper indus
trials was based evidently on advance
knowledge of the character of the
monthly report of the Copper Produc-
ers association. AS soon as that was
published the advance in the coppers
also came to a halt, and the wheat
market fell into stagnation.
A reduction Of twenty million POUNDS
in the stocks of copper on hand made
an imposing showing on it's face, but
some disappointment was felt over the
manner in which that result had b en-
achieved as shown by the details of the
report Deliveries into domestic con-
sumption, in fact, showed moder te
falling off from the August total, the
increase in total deliveries being
wholly due to an expansion of upwards
of 100000 pounds in the months eX-
ports.
Preliminary estimates Of the weeks
currency movement indicated an out
flow from New York of nearly 81 Co.,
900 cash. The loss to the sub-tre sury
for the week was reduced to less thln
a million dollars, but shipments u the
interior by express rose considerably
over those of last week.
The requirements of the crop move
ment thus far are shown to be un-
satisfied This showing is held TO ex-
plain the cautious attitude mainta ained
by the banks in putting out fresh cred
its during the week.
Bonds were steady. Total sales, par
value, S1,9S9,0O0

.HIGHWAYMEN HOLD UP
COUPLE; SECURE $40

Almost Immediately after alighting
from a street car at Thirty ninth
street and Normandie avenue at $40
o'clock last night Mrs. Minnie FRENCH
As years old, living at 1857 West Thirty
ninth street, and Walter Tenna, young
man of 1865 West Thirty ninth place,
who was accompanying her, were held
up by two men and robbed. The BAN
dts held reVolvers at the neads OF
the victims and took $50 from the purse
of the woman and $40 in silver from
the pockets of the man.
The bandits are described as being
not more than % years of age, Both
wore SLOUGH hats and black suits. They
evidently were waiting in a vacant lot
near by, and when the two persons
alighted from the car and started down
the street the highwaymen hurried past
them, retraced their steps and held re-
volvers to their heads with a COM
mand to hold up their hands.
The command was obeyed with alac-
rity The woman was the first to be
searched. One of the robbers held a
manner while the other man searched
the victims. After opening the purse
carried by the woman and taking $50
from the receptacle the men turned
their attention to the other victim and
pressed two weapons to his head.
With each bandit using one. hand
they succeeded in rlfling the pockets
of Tenna, obtaining $40.
After obtaining the money the high
waymen ordered their victims to pro-
ceed down the street, warning them
not to look back.
Immediately after the robbery the
University police station was notified
and officers were sent to the scene.
The detectives made a search of the
neighborhood, but were unable to OBJ
tain clew to the identity Of the men.

.FONG REGRETS FAILURE
To ASSASSINATE PRINCE
Chinese Will Be Charged with AS
sauIt with Intent to Com
nit Murder
ER NCISCO-

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. mo
charge has yet been placed against
Geo. Fong, the Americanized Chinese
who was. arrested yesterday at the
Oakland Mole on suspicion that he was
about to assassinate Prince Tsai Hsun.
The office of the United States attor-
ney here declared today that no fed
eral statute covered the attempted
crime.
Assistant District Attorney McKin-
ley who is handling the case, said
that if the federal authorities cannot
charge Fong he Jill be turned over to
the police officials of Alameda county
who will charge him with having car
ried a concealed weapon. This step
will be taken to forestall his threat
ened release on habeas corpus. In
the meantime an effort is being made
to prove that Fong headed q conspir-
acy to kill the prince.
'Fong tells with the utmost candor
of his plans to assassinate Prince Tsai
and expresses regret he failed but he
denies any one else was concerned IN
the plot.
1t was decided late today to turn
Fong over to the authorities Of Oak
land, where he will be charged with
assault with intent ~ commit murder.

Los ANGELES STOCK EXCHANGE

The market on the stock exchange was par
ticularly bright in spots, but in general was
quiet. The bright and shining light Of the
whole market was Mexican common, which
continues to soar. Trading was very heavy all
day The stocks show gain for the twenty
four hours Of nearly two points The way the
public is taking hold of this stock is certainly
phenomenal, but only indicates the fact that
the public as soon as II learns the exact status
of any companys stock, 1t Immediately desires
to hold some of the shares.
Looking over the Mexican Petroleum COM
panys statement and viewing the situation
from the outside, It looks as If this property
would make over a million dollars in money in
less than a year, in which case the holders
Of the common stock will receive a handsome
reward.
The bond list was quiet. Cleveland was
about at yesterdays prices. California Mid
way remained firm and Consolidated Midway
