GOVERNOR PUTS BLAME
ON TRE FORMER BOARD
Contlaaed From Pa&-e 2. Column 7
*nd trust company, the district attor
ney's office will be placed in posses
sion of complete information concern
ing the condition of the bank within a
f*w days. On the report made by the
men detailed to examine the books
and accounts will depend largely the
measures to be adopted by the district
attorney's office looking toward the
possible criminal prosecution of bank
officials and members of the state bank
commission.
Accountant Klink. who is preparing
a report for the bank commission, is
in charge of the checking up of books
and accounts now ia progress at the
bank and two representatives of the
district attorney's office were placed
in the bank yesterday to assist him
scd at the same time to prepare a
second report for the district attorney.
Klink is working as rapidly as pos
sible acd is making a careful inspec
tion of the book keeping methods, but
probably will be unable to make any
thing like a full report on conditions
for several days.
C. S. Cushlng. who has teen appoint
ed custodian of the wrecked institu
tion, made a careful inspection of the
ir.ain banking establishment and the
r illrnore street branch yesterday with
O. H. Dunsmoor. Together they are
checking up all securities, accounts
and property of the bank and as soon
as the examination of the other
branch banks is concluded dishing ex
pects to receipt to Dunsmoor for all
the property of the institution and to
take active control.
There \u25a0was no excitement around the
bank yesterday and but few persons
attempted to gain admission to the
buildir.g in which the main offices are
located. Bond Clerk Maginnity is in
charge of the clerical force of the in
stitution, but h* and his subordinates
found little to do yesterday except to
give what assistance they could to the
accountants who are checking up the
books.
Walker Brought to the City
and Taken at Once to Jail
Former President of Defunct Bank
Admits He Will Offer to Be
State's Witness
David F. "Walker, late president of
the California safe deposit and trust
company, was brought to San Fran
cisco late last night from Santa Bar
bara, where he was arrested on a war
rant charging him with been
a party to the embezzlement of the
i-^nis of the Colton estate. Walker
was accompanied by his wife and chil
dren and a detective of the police de
partment. He was met upon his arrival
by Attorney Allen Checkering, who at
once took steps to secure bail for his
client. *
Walker maintained that he was in
nocent of the charges against him. He
asserted that he had been in the east
a iid knew nothing of the affairs of the
i-ank until it suspended. In behalf of
Walker it was said that so certain was
be that the court would hold him that
he wpuld go to Francis J. Heney to
day an*?, lay before him all the facts
in hi? possession-
Walker will not attempt to rest upon
Vis constitutional rights, but will in
vite Heney to question on all matters
connected with the collapse of the bank.
It [a claimed on behalf of Walker that
h - Tvas ignorant of conditions here un
til he attempted to assist in the re
organization, when he learned that the
institution was beyond hope.
Judge Dunne had waited at the police
-ration until midnight for Walker, but
>ft before the prisoner arrived. Later
Chief Bigjry an 2 attorney Checkering
made an attempt to locate the judge, as
the American surety company had
• TfT-'rd to go on his bond. As they were
unable to locate the judge. Walker was
farced to remain in jail. While at the
police station he admitted that he
vrould offer to be a witness for the
Mr". Walker, who has remained at
\u25a0r in:sban<ls side since the trouble

Citizens' State Bank Will
Be Put Into Liquidation
President Ragland Tells Depositors
It Will Kot Be Reopened
A meeting of the depositors of the
Citizens" state bank has been called
for 3 o'clock Thursday afternoon at
room 307, Russ building, in Mont
cromery street between Bush and Pine.
William Ragland, president of the in
stitution, announced yesterday that it
would not resume, but would be put
iato liquidation. The concern did a
staall business and the list of depositors
!s not a long one. The bank owes its
depositors $89,000. Ragland claims to
have securities with a face value of
1135.000. but a very small market value
at the present time.
The Citizen 6" state bank was organ
ized four years ago on the one day In
the history of the *tate on which the
Kinking laws were suspended. It hap
pened that through a change in the
I^vrs an error was made by which one
day intervened when the state vu
without banking lawy. Ragland took
advantage of the situation and organ
ized an Institution with virtually no
-apltal. He owns about 9f» per cent of
the stock. He has very little personal
i-roperty on whteh the depositors can
hope to recover.

SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CJOJj
CHICAGO, Dec 10. — In a dispatch
printed here "Walter "Wellman predict
"Wall street will aid Taft's boom for
the presidency. He says:
•Rapid growth of the movement to
make Secretary Taft the nominee of
the republican party for president is
expected during the next few months.
Help is coming from unlooked for quar
ters from the opponents of the presi
dent, who want a 'careful and conser
vative man* In the White House.
"Among those who have seen the
light and realize th*X IL^they prevent
the choice of Secretary Taft they will
only force Roosevelt to stand for an
other term is none other than the
leader of the senate, the all powerful
Aldrich of Rhode Island, the ablest and
most acute representative of 'the In
terests' in congress.''
NO THIRD TERM TALK
Bonaparte Denies Story and Presi-
dent's Letter Is Published
WASHIXGTON, Dec. 10.— When At
torney General Bonaparte's attention
Tvas called this evening to a story that
he would be the president's spokes
man on the third term question at Chi
cago December 21, he said:
"It is all nonsense. I am to go to
Chicago as the guest of the Illinois
athletic club, and I shall make no men
tion of the subject."
After the cabinet session today the
letter addressed by President Roose
velt to the members of his cabinet No
vember 19 instructing them to inform
federal office holders not to partici
pate* in a third term movement for
President Roosevelt, was made public
at the "White House.
It is understood that the cabinet
officers will take action. The letter
follows:
"I have been informed that certain
officers in your department are prepar
ing to attend the national convention
as delegates in favor of the nomination
of me for president, and are preparing
to procure my indorsement for such re
nomination by state conventions.
"This must not be. I wish you to
inform such officers as you may find it
advisable or necessary to inform in
order to carry out the spirit of these
instructions that such advocacy of my
renominatipn or acceptance of an elec
tion as delegate for that purpose will
be regarded as a serious violation of
official propriety and will be dealt with
accordingly. Sincerely yours.
"THEODORE ROOSEVELT."
FLOODS CAUSE DAMAGE

life and great damage to property are
reported from central and eastern Penn
sylvania by floods caused by the heavy
rains of the past few days. :
The Delaware, Susquehanna, and
Schuylkill rivers are rising rapidly and
small streams about the coal regions

Appendicitis
How To Avoid It and Escape a Surgical
Operation, Told By One
>vno Knows i
A Simple Method That is Always Efficacious
It has only been. a. few years sine* It
•wras discovered that a surgical opera-
tion -would cure appendicitis; In fact,
it ha« been but a short time since the
disease was discovered and named.
Whenever there Is an inflamed condi-
tion of the appendix, caused by im-
pacted faeces in the small cavity open-
ing into the intestine, you then have'
appendicitis.
The older doctors used to call this in-
flammation of the bowels, and were
puzzled to know the cause.
Even now, ' with all the knowledge
we have of the disease, no medical man
can tell you why we should have an ap- !
pendix. why we find it where it Is, or
what are its functions, If it has any. ,
The disease for which the operation
is a cure is usually caused by Indiges-
tion, and in many cases follows a large
ani indigestible meal.
Physicians have until recently recom-
xnended an operation, but now, as it is
known that it is caused by Indigestion,
or dyspepsia,. a cure without an opera-
tion is assured.
Wher* the patient Is treated with
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, the un-
healthy conditions prevailing rapidly
disappear, the stomach and intestines
are placed back in their normal condi-.
tlon, every organ of the body operates
as it should, and the inflammation in
reduced and the operation Is avoided.
Conscientious physicians, who are
looking after the best interests of 'their
patients, will always keep a supply of
Stuarfs Dyspepsia Tablets handy in
their ofllce, where In -cases of sudden
attacks of indigestion they can relieve
the patient at once.
There Is no record of a case of ap-
pendicitis where the stomach and
bowels were in a healthy«condition and
properly digested the food from meal to
meaL \
No better advice can be given to any
one who has attacks of indigestion,. or
who has been threatened with appendi-
citis, than to tell him to go to the drug
store, pay 50 cents, and take home a
package of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets.
. Whenever heartburn, gas in stomach
or bowels, heart disease or stomach
troubles, Bour emotions, acidity or fer-
mentation are present, act at once. Take
a dose of the Tablets and get relief as
soon as possible. •
At all druggists'— so cents.

Third Husband Contractor,

When Bankrupt

Property Left by Second
Spouse Subject to *
Conditions
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL
LOS ANGELES, Dec. 10.— As -a result
of the recent financial flurry and be
cause they realized that in the married
state both would be able to save more
than if they remained single, Mrs. Lil
lian Harriet Page, 44, writer, and busi
nesswoman, and Arthur G. Godfrey, 50.
painting contractor, slipped away to
Santa Barbara last Saturday and were
married. • - v w
The ceremony was decided upon de
spite the fact that by reason of her
marriage the bride may be deprived of
her share of her second husband's
estate, ' which consists of property at
Hanford, and *by the terms of whose
will she is not to share in his property
if she remarries. She is willing to
take the chance, however; and will re
sort'to the court to enforce her claims
upon that estate. Mrs. Godfrey's sec
ond husband has been dead seven years
and the estate is not settled yet.
Notes held by the estate are out
lawed and she can only hope to realize
upon the real property. For' four years
she and Godfrey had been engaged, but
had decided to wait until she came into
her property. Meantime she had made
fortunate deals in real estate here and
is now fairly wealthy. Godfrey, on the
other hand, has been unfortunate.
"Worry over the fate of his business,
which was threatened -by an adverse
bill' board ordinance last summer,
caused him to lose his reason and Mrs.
Page nursed him through his illness.
He recovered and then wentthrough
bankruptcy, and in this she again as
sisted him. Recently, however, his
financial condition became such that
the two decided that they could live
more cheaply as husband and wife.
They kept the matter secret in the
hope that it would not complicate the
settlement of the Page estate, but the
news leaked out. .
Mrs. Page-Godfrey is a member of
the Los" Angeles Woman's Press club.
She has written many interesting
stories of love and romance under the
norn de plume of Lillian Lester Page,
Lester being the name of her first hus
band. She has been at work for sev
eral months on a story of love and
romance and hopes to have it com
pleted soon. She modestly declines to
state whether it contains scenes from
her own marital experiences.'.

SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CAIi
; TACOMA, Dec 10.--Mud Bay Sam is a
sadder *and wiser \u25a0 Indian than he ? was
three weeks ago. He had divorced his
wife ostensibly because she "nagged"
him. but in reality-he had found his
affinity in Mrs. Mud Bay Louie, widow
the chief of the Mud Bay tribe, and
high priest of the Indian Shaker re
ligion. , . . - \u25a0',:\u25a0- V
\u25a0;:Sam:gave a big potlatch three week"
ago at Mud Bay near Olympia. He
took .the widow of Loui« as his wife,
regardless of. the fact that his divorce
was not six \u25a0 '; months old. He was
elected chief of the.Mud Bays" and head
of the Shaker religion, succeeding Mrs.
Louie's late husband in all of these
honored places. Besides. Mrs. Louie
brought him a residence, a church
house and other possessions.
Sam's potlatch was -attended by the
largest assemblage "of northwest In
dians that has been gathered in many
years. . Departing, ; they carried away
happy memories and several of them
the smallpox.
Today news comes from Mud Bay
that Mrs. Louie late last week left
Sam and . eloped with a straight, stal
wart Takfma brave who attended thj?
potlatch and hovered near when it
ended.
Sam now has taken back the wife of
his youth and remarried her, his mar
riage to Mrs. Louie being Illegal. He
retains the chieftainship and the
church headship, however.

_ LOS ANGELES,' Dec 10.— The stater
ment alleged to be contained In a let
ter left by the late Major Frank Mc-
Laughlin of Santa Cruz and in a. meas
ure regarded as his will, in" which he
refers to E. T. Earl of this city," caused
surprise to EarL He) said that there
wjls nothing: in any deailnya he had

had not .been grateful - instead of re
sentful. " \u25a0
:."I am not sure Major McLaughlm
left such a statement- as has been at
tributed to him," said Earl - tonight.
"If he did, I believe that a man who
committed such a terrible deed as
Major McLaughlin did can hardly be
considered in a condition of mind to
be responsib'ue for anything he may
hare i written!" .
Earl has several letters which show
conclusively that Major McLaughlin,
far from being resentful or feeling
that he had been wronged, considered
that Earl had done him a' valuable
service in the only business trans
action the two men had. „
