LOANS TO 'CASEY' ARE DISCOVERED TAKEN BY BLACK Secretary of Loan Association Identified as Mysterious Borrower of $18,000 ft Advance Authorized by Directors Increased Without Their Permission [Special Dispatch to The Call] PALO ALTO. Oct. 3.—Direct proof that Marshall Black and the myste rious "Casey" to whom he lent money »s the secretary of the Palo Alto Building and Loan association were the same person was furnished today by offi< ials of the Dudfield Lumber company. They said that they have been paying rent direct to Black as the owner of the land which "Casey" pledged as security for the loan of SIS.OOO that Black made to him in be half of the association. The directors authorized a loan of $5,000 to the ficti tious "Casey," and Black increased it on his own responsibility. Organization of Marshall Black's creditors in the Cressey colony proj ect and a repudiation of an alleged defense of Black by Rev. Walter Hays, pastor of the Palo Alto Presbyterian church, were other developments in the investigation. Rev. Mr. Hays' attention was called by those who had not heard his last Sunday's sermon to published reports that he had defended the man who looted the association of $100,000. Hays denied that he had defended Black, who is a trustee of the church, al though he was sorry for the man. The sermon, he said, mentioned the in cident in the following manner: "The entire community finds itself lay in the midst of a great disaster. Many members of this church are suf fering the keenest anxiety and dis tress because of it. And one of our number stands before God, his own conscience and the world as responsi ble for it." Hays later expressed sympathy for Black and mentioned him in his prayer before the congregation. l>. L. Sloan, president of the associa tion, denied that his recent transfers o' property, recorded during the last few days, were caused by Building and Loan Commissioner Walker's threat to hold the directors personally respon sible for the crash which has involved the stork holders. S?loan has been con fined to his home at 627 Waverley street, and was threatened with a nervous breakdown, his physicians say, but yesterday admitted a re porter. "While the transfers have been re corded during the last few days," said Sloan, "they have been planned for some time. Several months ago my advanced age and delicate health prompted me to plan to transfer my property to tny heirs. My i4ea wa^ he avoided, and I had no idea of ttrls' trouble."* • MRS. WORTHINGTON AMES ANSWERS DIVORCE SUIT [Special Dispatch to The Call] REDWOOD CITY. Oct. 3.—With the filing of an answer by Mr? Norma Pres ton Ames to the divorce suit instituted last month by her husband, Worthing ton Ames, the belief that the case would be un#ontested seems to have been un founded. "When news leaked out that Ames had sued his wife for divorce, placing the complaint on the secret file, friends said that there would be no contest. It has been said that the main con tention for separation was based upon desertion, but with the filing of an an swer by Mrs. Ames, those who are in terested in the case intimate that there were allegations in the complaint that ' a used the wife to take legal action for her own protection. The principals of the divorce action have been prominent in local and San Francisco society for years, and in many entertainments given by the so cial sets of the two cities Mrs. Ames has taken a prominent part. It la hinted that a desire on the part of Mrs. Ames to appear upon the stage brought about the decision of Ames to sue for divorce. Ames is a member of the San Fran cisco Stock and Bond exchange, and one of the best known stock brokers in San Francisco.

Tributes to Jurist JudgeCoffeyPraisedforWork Thirty Years Given To Service Of People Supporters of Judge James V. Coffey in his candidacy for superior judge— men and women from every walk in life—met last night at a rally In Golden | Gate Commandery hall, Steiner and • Sutter streets. Many speakers testified to the noble attributes of the life of Judge Coffey during the 30 odd years he has been a probate judge of the city and county of San Francisco. Those who spoke of the honesty, ability and energy of Judge Coffey rep- I resented both professional and business men. Attorneys who had been familiar with the details of the splendid work done by Judge Coffey, such as David ! Mahoney, cited many examples, includ. j ing the famous Bell and Sutro estates, showing how Judge Coffey had often, j through his exceptional judgment and [ unceasing care, made large insolvent | estates worth millions to the heirs as j well as satisfying every creditor. John ; OGara, former assistant district attor- i ney, cited instances of smaller and more I recent accomplishments of Judge Coffey in the administration of the probate law. Joseph E. O'Donnell. who has prac ticed before Judge Coffey for many years, presided at the meeting. In his opening address he said that Judge Coffey was the kind of candidate that appealed to all voters and that there never had been any criticism of Judge Coffey during more than 30 years he had been on the bench. "To those," continued the speaker, "who have been acquainted with his life work no appeal is necessary, as his merits as a man and judge are to them well known. His life of 50 years in California reflects credit on the state. The three attributes necessary to make a good judge, honesty, ability and en ergy, are all three found in him. "His ability is marked in his noted decisions being quoted all over the na tion: that he is honest is testified to by the fact that he is a poor man; while his energy is shown in the perfect sys tem with which he conducts his court. Judge Coffey is the type of man that prompts us to become better citizens."

Mass., Odi. 8.-*Aif the president spent most of his day at] the Brockton fair and en route be tween Beverly and Brockton, he re ceived a number of callers before leav ing for there. Francis L. Leland, president of the New York County National be-nk of New York city, brought the president word that he would receive the sup port of a large number of the smaller business men of Iceland's acquaintance, and at the same time urged the presi dent to make a more direct appeal to the merchants and dealers than has been made hitherto. Leland pointed out that neither of the other candidates could make an appeal to this class of citizens, for the reason that both were running on platforms the carrying out of which unquestionably would injure business and destroy prosperity. Attorney General Wickersham re turned from Boston with the president last night, and spent the morning dis cussing problems and disabusing the president's mind of some erroneous im pressions made by unfounded reports which had reached him from unin formed quarters.

"The title to these premises stands in the name of Martin F. Hubert in the office of the register of deeds since June 21, 1909, but, as I have heretofore told you orally, the real owner is Wil liam R. Hearst. The conveyance to him by Hubert is kept off the record to conceal the real owner. Hearst has owned the property over three years, namely, since June 21, 1909." Hearst is abroad/ In his absence Clarence J. Shearn said today: "This is nothing but a piece of petty malice on the part of Mayor Gaynor. ,, Shearn said that not only had it been demonstrated to the mayor that the police had found the places above reproach and so reported, hut that the neighbors, instead of complaining, were more than satisfied with the reforms made since Hubert came into posses sion.

J PHONES IN SCHOOL DENIED TO PUPILS Young Men Who CSlied Girls Absolved of Connection With While Slavers No more telephoning in the public schools, except In cases of rare emer gency, will be the order hereafter In San Francisco. Aroused to action by the case of three young men who tried to entice girls from the Commercial high school by telephoning to them during study hours, Principal C. H. Murphy yesterday posted a statement notifying his pupils that they would not be per mitted to use this means of cor.imu.nica tioti, and Superintendent Roncovieri has declared he will ask other echool prin cipals to follow the example. Principal Murphy always exercised a close censorship over telephone calls, hut as a result of the affair on last i Wednesday he decided to put a ban on jail telephoning to and from pupils. The following order was issued: Teachers: Advise your pupils that from this time forth no pupil shall be called to the telephone, nor shall use the school telephone in any manner whatever, except when sent by a teacher on school business; neither will the school be a medium of exchange between parents, pupils and business houses for the purpose of making dates and appointments. In extreme cases a teacher or prin cipal may transmit and receive messages to and from parents and also deliver messages to pupils in emergencies. At least one-fourth of the time of the principal is con sumed in answering telephone calls on matters which should be at tended to by them before leaving home in the morning. The pur poses of this restriction is to better safeguard and protect the interests of both pupil and parent, as well as the school. C. H. MURPHY. XOT WHITE SLAVES CASE Marcelino Herrerias, William A. Dev lin and J. J. ODea, the three young men arrested Wednesday at the Ninth avenue cottage while waiting for the arrival of the girls they had tele phone for, were taken into Police Judge Sullivan's court yesterday on a charge of disturbing the peace. De tective Thomas Furman of the white slave detail, who made the arrest, was in the country, and the case was set for Saturday. The three young men said that they meant no wrong, but just wanted to have a good time, with the girls as company. Investigation yesterday failed to de velop any facts tending to show that the case had any "white slavery" con nection, or that any of the three young men involved could be accused as "slavers." The later word, used in a headline in reference to the case in The Call yesterday, was stronger than was warranted by the facts. CLERKS LIKELY TO BE FREED The cottage was rented two months ago by Herrerias, and the police be lieve that Wednesday was the first time ODea or Devlin, who are clerks, had visited it. Neighbors say that there has been a good deal of carousing, that many girls have visited the cottage, and that on several occasion* cases of beer have been taken in. Police Judge Sullivan probably will order the trio to give up the cottage, and, unless unexpected developments occur, the case may be PRISON COMMISSION CELEBRATES BIRTHDAY Appropriate Exercises Mark Triple Anniversary The California prison commission is celebrating its forty-seventh anni versary at the headquarters, 110 and 112 Silver street.

General Joaquin Beltran was ordered to the city of Vera Cruz to take gen eral command of the operations, and General Valdes was placed in charge of the field work. The column of troops sent from Mexico City was stopped in Esperanza, Puebla, whence several small detachments will be sent into the hills in search of the rebels. Fear has been expressed that Agui lar's plan included cutting communica tions between the capital and Vera Cruz, but most of the reports received today indicated he was moving south ward toward Tehacan, a town ' just across the line in the state of Pyebla. A. L. Shaw, an American egineer on the Mexican railway, was wounded to day near Alta Luz, when rebels sup posed to be a detachment of Aguilar's' forces fired on a freight tran en route to Vera Cruz. He was taken to a Vera Cruz hospital. A private dispatch from Guaymas, Sonora, says that in a brush with rebels government troops captured Julio Vic nier. an American.

Prof. Thomas H. Reed of the Univer sity of California, was called on to de fend free speech. He did so briefly, saying in part: "In my opinion every man has the right of free speech, but he must be held accountable for his utterances. No man has a right, however, to say what ever he chooses anywhere he chooses. I believe this city should establish a place where public meetings could be held and where the soap box orators could be given a chance to shout their grievances against the government to any one who wishes to hear such grievances." Rev. Charles Van Norden of Auburn followed. He took Tor his subject "The Necessity of Restricting by Law Se ditious Utterances." "California should pass a law against seditious utterances at any cost," he said. "This Is demonstrated by the recent outrages In .San Diego, where a bunch of rags and tatters terrorized an entire city without sufficient penalty being exacted from them. I heartily approve of the action taken against them by the citizens. Natural law, or lynch law, becomes a necessity at such times, although it should be employed only in imperative cases." Austin Lewis declared that laws against sedition would result in pro ducing more sedition. He said that the I. W. W. organization had gained 100,000 new members through the ad vertisement they had received in the San Diego affair. He said such demon strations amounted to nothing, and were only indulged In by a gang of "out at elbows gentlemen of the road" who were too ignorant to know what they were doing. President David Starr Jordan was the guest of honor. Doctor Jordan in a brief speech went after war, pen sions and protective tariff, saying they were the real cause of high living. He said it was an impossibility to take men from the field of active produc tion for army service without a cor responding increase in the cost of liv ing. Colonel Harris Weinstock, in a short speech, closed the debate by presenting his views as to legal liability for sedi tious utterances. The directors of the club, which is affiliated with the National Economic League of America, were chosen last night. They are: H. E. Haven Jr., Frederick G. Athearn, Rev. Dr. Mar tin Meyer, Rolla V. Watt, C. E. Grun sky. Prof. T>. P. Barrows and Jesse Lilienthal. The board of directors will choose their own officers at a future meeting. NINE BOUTS FOR BIG SHOW TONIGHT Nine bouts are on the program ar ranged by the Columbus club for Dreamland tonight. Every division is represented, %vith a pair of good heavy weights billed to provide the main event. Jim Cameron, the clever negro, rules a 10 to 8 favorite over Frank Moran, the Pittsburg slugger. Owing to the speed and skill displayed by the colored pugilist in his other engage ments the bettors fancy him and are stringing their coin that way. If Moran is able to check the winning spurt of Cameron, he intends - to go after the victor of the Al Kaufman-Luther Mc- Carty contest. In the special event Sailor Grande and George Taber will slip on the gloves. Grande is the burly bluejacket who gave Jack Herrick such a sur prise last week. As Grande has been matched by the Oakland Wheelman's club to box Frank Logan next "Wednes day night, it is up to him to win in order to clinch the transbay bout. Welter weights and lightweights make up the other two special events. Johnny McCarthy will oppose Willie Purtell and Abe Label will take on Joe Azaveda.

Wash.— "The three middle fingers right at the end of my nails troubled me for three years. They t would get so inflamed, burn and be so painful I could not sleep.

They would be so very sore, then the nails would come off. and no more would a new one grow on when they would begin to get sore again. The nail came off my third finger four times. I tried everything with oo results until one day I read of a lady who seemed to have had a similar trouble cured by Cuticura Soap and Ointment. I decided to try them and sent for a sample.
