RETURNED TIE LETTER
 BUT KEPT PHOTOGRAPH
On Exhibit in Trial For Dissolution of
 Federal Finance Company.

The n10ductiOn of a photograph of letter late on Saturday evening in the course of the hearing of the application for the dissolution of the Federal F'i- nance company was the cause of a great surprise to MT. Lloyd of Los An geles who is opposing the dissolution.
 The Federal Finance company is an adjunct of the Los Angeles Insurance company ad was orgaizej with capI- tai stock of $5O0,0oO divided into shares Of 5 each. MT. Lloyd became the owner of 2500 shares sometime af- ter the organization of the company.
 He presented several reasons why the company should not be dissolved, among them a gift of 30,00O shares of the company to the president of the Citizens National Bank of Los Ange- les for assistance in promoting the af- fairs of the company and indirectly, those of the insurance company. But it was contenIed on the part of the company that while this was good business investment it Was something that did not concern A1r. Lloyd for the purpose of litigation. since this trans action had taken place previous to his relations with the company.

THE BACK END FRONT
A Pay-as- -You-Leave Car the Latest
 in Cleveland

A favorite method of progressive development is to turn something ln- side out, upside down, or wrong end foremost. then, shouting that the truth has at last been found, proceed to demonstrate advantages. Nor IS this to deny that the results often are good Cleveland. the birthplace of the three-cent fare, is once more to the front with street railway re- form in the pay-as- -you-leave car.
 As one might infer, this vehicle reverses the procedure in the pay-os- you-enter car with which we are now ali familiar Passengers board the ear at the front platform and leave it at the back. where the conductor stands with fare box and transfers and a machine stamp to place a time limit on transfers.
 other peculiarities of this car have to do with the arrangement of seats and a megaphone overhead to make the conductors calls of streets and transfer stations clear to all. How ever it is not such innovations, which would fit as readily into cars of the pay-as-y you enter or pay s-yOu-gO variety. which call for special de- fCnse but the pay-as yOu-leave fea- ture.
 The one great advantage its pro- motors point to as Justification enough is the avoidance of crowding and delay in getting passengers on and off cars. They can enter inn mediately without stopping for change and transfers, and the theory is that they will start to leave the car in time to avoid delay at the other end StowaWays will be able to creep in. just as on ocean steamers but they will have the very deuce of time getting out-New York Globe.

The Story of Francis M. Smiths
 Strike in Death Valley.

Just across the bay from San Fran cisco, at Oakland, you are likely to find, any business morning, a man with sturdy physique and grizzled mustache sitting at a desk on the top floor of a big building on the main street of the city While the office is appointed with the quiet richness that suggests good taste, the most dominating decoration is huge frescO over the marble mantelpiece It shows a desolate waste of desert framed in by forbidding, rocky hills The picture represents a grim treas ure-trOve. for it is a scene in Death Valley. and the man who looks at it so dreamily is Francis NJ. Smith, the borax king. In the country that God forgot he found the product that made him a multimilliOnaire.
 His is a story of extraordinary per severance and pluck. Smith was farmbred in Wisconsin. While pros pecting in Nevada, he found the won derful borax deposits with which his name is linked He staked out the land, and then began his long vigil to hold it. With rifle and Bible, he kept it against all corners for five years. Those years put the grizzie into his mustache, the seriousness ln- to his eyes.
 Today he is master of many inter- ests. He owns the Key Route, which links San Francisco to Oakland by rail and water, and he is big force in banks and realty.
