Neither did Greif renicm be.r having met Tax Collector Smith «r Deputy State Controller Douglass \u25a0while in. th« treasury. All that Greif \u25a0*vas positive of yeetirday was that he lind the check the day it was Turned* over to him by order of Judge Ijo.awell. • 'Have you. for the purpose of re freshing your memory, discussed the case with Treasurer MeDougald or any of!ier person?" asked Supervisor Mur - "So." was the reply. <:.B. Perkins, receiving teller in the city ireia*ury, was next called, but he furnished little testimony of value. He \u25a0\u25a0ad.no recollection of having received tlie check from Greif, nor did he re jv.ernber having met Greif November 30. 1303. He recalled, however, that Tax Collector Smith and Deputy Controller Douglass were in and out of the city treasury that day. f FAILS TO lIEMEMBER CHECK Perkins could not recall having made an «ntry on the daily deposit tage, following the deposit of the check. Book Keeper Werthelmer testified at a previous hearing that he had made the entries found in his books from ilie deposit tags. V "'Might some one else have received the check and made the entries on the risrs?" was asked. iT'lt might have been possible, but liighly improbable." replied Perkins. ; Perkins in conclusion said he was satisaed that the missing 137,572.79 had never reached the city treasury. . ; The investigation will be resumed frfaeh Treasurer McDougald returns to ihe-^lty .from Sacramento, where he bas gone, to make his semiannual wrrounting with the state treasurer and: state controller. PLAN YOSEMITE TRIP TO GIVE CHILDREN FLAGS Native Sons to Present PupiJs of Valley School With Me mentoes of Grand Parlor Fome of the delegates to the grand jiarlor of the Xative Sons are planning * «<?rond visit to the Yosemite on Jun^i 13. when a set of flags will be presented to the little school in the •valley. \u25a0' The ceremonies will be con ti > j.ct*»d under the auspices of the Mer t*d;parlor. .Judge Carroll Cook, with •whom the flag idea originated, haa been JtivHed to attend and make the formal Ifrospntation. A number of representa. (Xres of local parlors may make- the 1 rip with Judge Cook. During tho session in the Yosemite tlie suggestion was made that the Na tive Sons should leave some remem- T>r3nce /vith the school children. A large handkerchief was tied into the form of a bag • and in less than an l-oiir JIGS had b^en placed in the re y*-ptaele. This fund was brought to ?>an • Franrisco. and with it a number <>f: American flags will be purchased. In. addition to a large banner to float above the little building, there •will b* silken emblems lor the Interior and -a prparato flag for each pupil. A 3ur*rc bear flag of early California will .'occupy a place in the set. DON' XEW L'.VIFORMS t--.Je>«n" J.

Any one who thinks he docs is likely .to be one of those who know, the -least Advertising is an art, and some of those .who have studied it most feel that they are simply -in the Kindergarten class. .;: ; V . . To be sure there are "experts'* and some of them know the science of purchasing publicity and preparing copy very well. They know that it is foolish to advertise an article unless the dis- tribution and other auxiliary work is properly done. They know that it is foolish to crowd their copy and they know, the value; of "the true ring"; but where is * the . expert who ."knows, it all"? The importance of this whole question of publicity to the; consumer is growing on the manufacturer. He sees ] his competitor or some man in another line turning the trick of publicity and he. sits 'up and thinks. He is gradually realizing; that localized, crystallized publicity in the home is what pays best and! that, he^ can 'only get that through the daily newspaper. Many, manufacturers- secure local daily newspaper advertising through or by. co-operation with their local agents or retailers in different cities and towns, but cam-, paigns of that sort are necessarily spasmodic or uneven. The man- ufacturer who has the courage to map out his own campaign and goes ''ahead 'is 'the one who wins out. He buys the publicity wisely^ and he realizes on it 901 World Bid*.; New YorlTCi£ Mrs. Rcgina Kramer, aged 90, who may die from a~ fractured skull. > AGED WOMAN MAY DIE FROM INJURY Mrs. Regina Kramer Uncon* scious From Skull Frac tured in Accident, Mrs. Regina Kramer, 90 years old, noted in the Mission district for her great activity, was knocked down by a streetcar at Howard and Eighteenth streets yesterday and probably will die from the injuries she received. Since the accident the aged woman. has been unconscious at her home, 2223 Howard street, "When the car, running inbound at full speed, bore down on Mrs. Kramer as she was crossing the street,' it sent her spinning toward the' curb with her right collarbone broken in two places. When she fell against the stone edge of the sidewalk she fractured her skull. Dr. "W. F. Barb'at,' who is attending her, -stated last night that there was slight chance of her recovery.. The accident occurred only a few feet from the front door of Mrs. Kra mer's home,' and her daughter, Mrs. F. Meyer, was one of the first to reach her side. Throwing herself on, her knees beside her. bleeding and dust covered mother Mrs. Meyer wept hys terically until neighbors led .her into the house and bystanders carried the injured woman from the street. In the confusion following the acci dent Motorman Elmer Hanson, who, witnesses to the accident say, made, no attempt to avoid rannlng over, the old lady, switched his car back, ran it to the Utah street barns and disappeared. Policeman Gus Wollweber attempted to catch him with a horse and buggy, but was a few minutes too late. • Mrs. Kramer, because, of her activity and her years, was a familiar figure along Howard street, where' she' dally was accustomed to take a long walk. "It's my little walks that keep., me alive," she eaidto her daughter as she left the house a few minutes before she was run down by the car. Mrs. Kramer is the grandmother of John Rapp, a widely known brewer.

After • the defendants had been ar raigned Attorney Charles S.
