The Call had an extract yesterday
from the letter written by contest
ant who lives across the broad Pa
cific in Honolulu. Today there is one
from the letter of a little lad in New
York. The news of the penny contest
had reached him across those many
miles and he had also heard about
the school children's penny savings
accounts which interested him partic-
ularly.
He says he realizes the power of the
penny and wishes they had childrens
savings accounts in New York schools.
And so it goes. Almost every day
brings a letter from some distant
corner Of the world telling of the
power of the penny. 1t also speaks
well for the circulation of The Call.
Here are few excerpts from let
ters received in the big penny contest
Have you written yours yet?
SAVING OF 3 CENT FARE
Penny Contest Editor: In several Of
the eastern cities the streetcar fare 10
8 cents aud yet the companies make
money If pennies were used as fare here,
and we will say that 100000 people make
a round trip daily, at three-ffths Of the
fare they are now paying 1T would mean
saving of $4,000 per day, and In addition
would keep that much in circulation here,
as IL is known that much OF the local
streetcar company money goes direct to
the east. L. B. GROSS.

General Arthur Murray, command
Ing the western department, is the
next legitimate chief of staff, his
friends say, because of his long and
distinguished service and his famili-
arity with army needs and conditions.
1t was pointed out that it would be
graceful act for the president to Sc

ter could retire as chief of staff in
April, 1915. AS it is, rumor says that
General Murray will be kept in San

REGIONAL
BANK

WASHINGTON, Dec. 24.-With all
the power of law fresh from the pen
of President Wilson behind them,
Secretary McAdoo and Secretary
Houston today began working out
details of the nations new financial
system.
Cities that can hardly be kept or
a tentative list for regional banks
include San Francisco, New York. Chi
cago. St Louis and New Orleans, with
Denver, Atlanta and Seattle or Port
land, Ore, near the top. Philadelphia,
Baltimore, Washington. Boston and
several others ars asking for desig-
nation.
The two cabinet members, acting
as an organization committee. will
determine the important preliminary
moves to the actual installation of
the machinery that is to operate the
federal reserve system.
PRESIDENT TO NAME BOARD
Although the law provides that the
two secretaries shall join with the
comptroller of the currency in the
preliminary Work OF rgdn1ZaIOn,
the Office of comptroller is vacant. and
1t has been decided that the two sec
retaries, constituting a majority OF
the committee, may go ahead. Later.
the members of the federal reserve
board of seven will be named by Pres
ident Wilson. The secretary of the
treasury and the new comptroller will
be members of that body, and the
other five will be chosen from private
life. If President Wilson finally has
made his selection for these five
places, it is not known in Washing
ton
WILL SELECT CITIES
The first step to be taken by the
secretaries will be the selection of
cities where federal reserve banks,
the backbone of the system, are to be
located. The law provides for not
less than eight and not more than IL.
The organization committee is en-
powered to employ counsel and sum-
mon witnesses and papers and to go
deeply into the location of the reserve
reservoirs. Its decision is not sub
ject to review by the federal reserve
board
1t is possible that before the ques-
tion of cities is decided the organiza-
tion committee will visit cities sug-
gested and base its report on infor-
nation gained at first hand.

found on Bostick showed he had
pawned the diamond at a pawnshop
at 954 Market street December 3, two
days after the Los Angeles holdup.
JEWELS ARE IDENTICAL
Another piece of jewelry forms a
.clew connecting Bostick with the
Richmond train robbery. Sheriff
Hammel gave confederation to this
clew today when shown the stickpin
Bostick wore when trapped This
pin consists OF a big sapphire sur
rounded by IL small diamonds. Ac-
cording to Hammel and the police,
the jewels are identical with those
on ring taken from Mrs. Louise w.
Murphy. now a resident of Los Ange-
les. She was a passenger on the
train held up in Richmond Novem-
Der II.
The question of the reward offered
by the Southern Pacific company for
the train bandit already threatens to
cause a dispute. Five thousand dol
lars is the reward for the Los Ange-
les train robber and $4,000 was Of
IereQ IOT the arrest ana CONVICTION
of the bay region bandit.
1t was said today that Colen and his
wife would claim fair reward imme-
diately upon the further Identification
of Bostick in Los Angeles Other
claims will be put in for a share of
the money, 1t is understood
Bostick's story went to pieces to-
day when he was confronted by two
men having technical and local
knowledge which he himself would
have possessed had his story been
true. This came on top of proof that
the addresses he gave in the begin
ming were fictitious.
The only point in his original story
so far corroborated is the fact that
he was familiar with Los Angeles. He
said he had worked there. Before
leaving for San Francisco Sheriff
Hammel went over the ground where
the train was held up and found that
in escaping the robber had exact
knowledge Of his whereabouts.
TRAPPED BY QUESTIONS
Bostick, however, was trapped when
cornered by two men familiar with
the Union Iron works and the South
ern Pacific machine shops, at both OF
which places Bostick said he had
worked. He was ignorant OF the de-
tails of both places.
When he was arrested Bostick
said that he used to work in the
Southern Pacific roundhouse shops In
Eighteenth street. H. Carrick, FORE
man of the shops, confronted Bostick
this morning and declared that he had
never seen the man before and that
Bostick never worked in the shops.
Bostick also said when first ar
rested that four years ago he had a
job in the Union Iron works. This
morning Detective Miles Jackson, who
was formerly machinist and who
learned his trade at the Union Iron
works and knows the plant thorough
ly, questioned the suspect concerning
the shops and the work. Bostick
could not answer q question. His en-
tire ignorance of the work and the
plant where he claimed to have
worked was evident

| OCAL WOMEN
WILL UPHOLD
INCOME TAX
Denounce Action of Eastern
SuffragistS in Refusing to
Pay Assessment

California women are citizens OF
the best type.
Given the vote they will accept 1t
as trust and do their best to be
law abiding and public spirited.
To a woman they refuse to join the
movement started in the east to re-
fuse payment of the income tax until
all the women of the land are voters.
Prominent women of the suffrage
movement here have said:
Mrs. Austin sperry, president of the
Susan b. Anthony club-There is no
need for any such action In Cali
fornia- We are all voters. / am
not going to trouble myself about
it. If L have any income / will
certainly pay the tax demanded on
it. 1 think we are trying to make
good use of our citizenship, and
that is not done by trying to evade
the laws
Mrs. Frank p. Deering-I doubt very
much If any such movement is
how we could here. OF course,
women have refused to pay taxes
and even had their goods sold rather
than submit But 1t would be very
foolish for US to do anything Of the
sort.
When the men have been gener-
Gus enough to give us the vote 1t
seems to me we ought to do our
very best to help out in every way
and be glad to pay our share.
1 do not believe there is any pos
sibility of any such protest or re-
fusal being made in the suffrage
states. Nor do i think the suffrage
leaders would advise 1t, no matter
how ardent they may be.
DIR. Adelaide Brown-We are citizens
of California and the United States.
so there is no reason for US to re-
fuse to pay our taxes
We have all the benefits of the
federal government, so we can hard
ly avoid the payment of its demands
on us.
l am not doing any suffrage work
at all at the present time. but am
devoting my efforts to doing what
I can in behalf of my own city.
Miss Selma Solomons-No such action
can be taken in California, because
we have the vote. 1t is all very
complex, but it would be idiotic to
make any protest in California
when we have the rights given US
under the federal government.
Mrs. Robert A. Dean-It doesn't seem
to me as though 1t would be quite
the right thing to do. I think we
of California can help the suffrage
cause more In other ways. It would
be a little like killing the goose
that laid the golden egg If we,
when we are given the right to vote.
refuse to obey the laws. OF course.
we who have the franchise and
those who know what 1t means to
vote, can appreciate the frame of
mind of DR.. Shaw and the other
women, but have voted seven or
eight times, I am a citizen of the
United States and must pay my tax.

Oil SpoiIs Duck Menu
For Peninsula Epicures

Hillsborough is starving for ducks.
This exclusive town has ducks
a-plenty, but nary a bit of these rare
fowl has been served at the daily
meals. 1t is all due to too much oil
and it all happened this way:
All oil that is dumped into the bay
drifts to the marshes off Hillsbor-
ough. The petroleum becomes so
thick that the ducks which alight on
its surface are held prisoners. The
oil clogs their wings and they are
unable to fly.
The huntsmen from Hillsborough
found the fowl easy prey, but when
prepared for the table the ducks bear
the smell of petroleum.
