It would be shown that the misunder
etandlnjr was caused by a clerical error.
Clarence Grange denied yesterday
That he was Hays' backer, as had been
reported. Grange was emphatic in re
nouncing Hays and all his works and
pomps.
Connection of Grange
In contradiction of Grange's em
phatic proteEt%tions, one of the prom
inent officers of the banks said that
Grange was the real owner of Hays'
stock. He said that it had been, given
bls security on a note to Grange and
that while the books of the banks
showed it to be in the name of Hays.
in reality it was controlled and held
T?y Grange, and that in the event of
The stock \u25a0 holders being called . upon
to make good a liability the burden
"would fall on Grange and not on Hays.
But all the dealings with the bank
•which Grange woud admit was the
?15.000 transaction whereby the West
ern National bank. !n which Grange is
siot interested, secured the stock of
ihe National Bank of the Pacific, on
•which Hays and his coterie had one
time held an option. The Hays option,
it was learned yesterday, was suspend
ed by a very dainty, filament. Hays.
C. T. Hasshagen and T. A. Bechtel put
Tip only $2 a share to protect their in
vestment when they bought the stock
from the California safe deposit and
trust company. There were 1.674 shares
in the dfal and the promised price was
$55 a share. The financiers could not
meet the difference between %1 and
$c.i> per share and Grange stepped in
and took the stock. A loan of $15,000
had been made to the Hays crowd by
the Western National, and that stands
on the books of the company.
Unfortunate Stock Holders
In the minute book yesterday were
stock holders in the State savings and
commercial bank, responsible bu^J
, tiessmen of Sacramento and farmers of
Davis. Yolo county, who, as stock hold
ers, will have to bear their part In

Edward C. Harrison, attorney for
Mrs. Adeline Hasshagen, ?aid last even
ing that he had not decided, nor could
lie speak on, what might be done to
recover the $125,000 or more which the
Hasshagen family is reported' to have
sunk in Hays' financial adventures.
Harrison said that, so far as he knew,
Grange was not behind Hays.
Suit Filed in April
Out of the fog of finance which sur
rounds the wrecked bank there has
loomed the memory of a^ suit brought
in April last by the minority stock
holders of the State savings and com
mercial bank against C. T. Hasshagen,
T. A, Bechtel. W. C. Hays and F. V.
Kingrton. The suit Involved the trans
actions by which the control of the
Union state bank was secured, and
charged the defendants with fraud,
conspiracy and concealment of assets.
The difficulties were settled out of
court by the powers of the bank, and
the case never reached trial. Previous
to the bringing of that action, March
9, John Tiedemann, a local capitalist,
brought an action charging that Hass
hag-en and Hays went to his house at
dead of night to sell him $2,000 worth
of stock in the Union state bank.
Tiedemann charged that willful fraud
and misrepresentation were used on
that occasion. This suit was dismissed
May 4 on the motion of the plaintiff.
But Tiedemann was not content with
one suit. Jn March: he also filed an
other action against the Union state
bank and the Bank of Elmhurst, charg
ing unlawful retention of $1,000 and a
note. This attion was likewise dis
missed.
The plaintiffs in the action brought
by the minority stock holders in March
were W. S. Miller, owning 929 shares of
Block in the State savings and commer
cial; G. W. Emmons, 350 shares; E. H.
Merrill, 60 shares: J. C. Currier, 325
shares; J. P. Forbes, 150 shares; H. T.
Harper, 50 shares, and-C A. Woodruff.
Hays' Marital Record
VC. C. Hays, the ousted cashier of the
defunct State savings and commercial
and the Union State banks, has had
marital as well as financial troubles.
June 6. 1902, he was a defendant in
the superior court in an action brought
by: his wife, Carrie A. Hays, for di
voce. Mrs. Hays testified, and was not
contradicted, that her husband had "a
terrible temper." that he beat' her. se
verely blacked her eyes and bruised her
about the body.
V?. K. Hays, stepfather, and Mrs. "W.
K." Hay*, mother of the husband, took
the stand In their daughter in law's
behalf and substantiated her story.
Hays did not appear. At that time
Hays was a businessman without a
name as a banker. He was ordered to
pay $100 a month alimony to his wife.
She was awarded the custody, of the
two children.
Hays, according to report, has been
married three times. His first wife
was the sister of Carrie Hays, the
•woman who divorced the future banker
in 1902. Haysdivorced his first wife to
wed her younger sister. Latter she di
vorced him and then Hays married a
Miss Streeter, his present wife.

has been no' offense to the Presbyterian
conscience in the north. ;
The refusal of the Irish people to
send their sons' to "Trinity has been a
remarkable form of - protest, since it
involved the rejection of the only
means of higher education in the coun
try. But when we recall that four
fifths of the population is Catholic, and
that Trinity maintains still the inspira
tion of its founding — to propagate anti-
Catholicism — the determination can be
readily understood.- The Protestantism
of Trinity is militant. Only a few years
ago a member of the governing' board
made this declaration:
"Trinity was founded by Protestants,
for Protestants -and in the Protestant
interest At the present moment,- with
all its toleration, its liberality. Its scru
pulous honor, the guardian spirit, is
Protestant. And I say, Protestant may
it evermore remain."
The sentiment may have done the
distinguished speaker honor,: and may
voice a worthy ambition, so far; as the
college is concerned; but such. a spirit
surely Justifies the charge that Trinity
is not and can not be a national Irish
institution. How cordial is Trinity's
invitation to SOper cent of the people
of Ireland, may be gathered from a
sonnet, which appeared less than two
years ago- in the college magazine. In
which the Catholic churches of .-the
country were described as "grim^monu
ments of cold observance, the Incestu
ous mate of superstition." .
Education Long Denied
As a remedy for this long denial of
education to by far the greater part
of the population, the demand of Ire
land during the last century has been
for a truly national university. Ob
viously, in a preponderatingly Catholic
country this means that the institution
would be Catholic in its atmosphere,
else It would not be national. There
has been no demand or desire for a
sectarian institution. In 1897 the Cath
olic bishops formally declared they
would accept a university which \u25a0would
lay no religious tests upon students,
teachers, officers or governors; with a
majority of the governing body laymen,
and with a provision that no state
funds should be employed for the pro
motion of religious education.
As long ago as 1871 the Catholic
hierarchy proposed, as a solution of the
question, that the constitution of the
University of Dublin should be modified
"so as to admit of the establishment of
a second college within It, -in every
respect equal to Trinity college, and
conducted on purely Catholic princi
ples." .
College for All Creeds
Trinity, however, was not ready to
yield its supremacy, for In 1901, when
a royal commission inquired into the
whole educational problem, the cry of
"Hands off Trinity!" was raised, and
that institution — the main center of
university education— was excluded
from an investigation which was to
devise means for obtaining such educa
tion in the country.
The commission recommended the es
tablishment of a federal teaching uni
versity, with four constituent colleges
— the three existing queen's colleges in
"Cork, Galway and Belfast and a new
Catholic college in Dublin. The main
idea was carried out in the Irish uni
versities act of August 1, 1908. estab
lishing the National university of Ire
land and the colleges at Cork, Galway
and Dublin, In association with iv. «nd
a second university in Belfast. While
the National university will, as stated,
inevitably be Catholic in spirit and at
mosphere, it will be also, and chiefly,
national. University and colleges will
be open to members of all creeds. The
act distinctly provides:
"So test whatever of religious belief
shall be imposed on any person as a
condition of his becoming or continuing
to be a professor, lecturer, fellow,
scholar, exhibitioner, graduate or stu
dent of, or if his holding any office j or
emolument, or exercising any privilege,
in either of the universities or any
constituent college; nor shall any pref
erence be given to or advantage be
withheld from any person on the
ground of religious belief."
Money for University
Financial provision Is also made in
the act. The following sums are appro
priated for the purchase of site and
erection of buildings:
National University of Ireland and new
University college, Dublin.. $7.V),000
Qneen's college, Cork 70,000
Queen's college, Galway 30,000
'The parent institution is to take over
the land and buildings of the Royal
university In Dublin, which has been a
mere examining institution, but an en
tire new plant must be erected. There
are already good buildings In Cork and
Galway, which .accounts for the ] rela
tively small sums for those cities. The
annual endowments are as follows: j
rnrerslty college. Dublin $160,000.
Queen's college, Cork 100,000

thonic languages.
Endowment Is Insufficient .
I talked upon this matter at some
length with John Dillon, M: P., ' who
has been one of the strongest , and
ablest advocates of the. national uni
versity project.
"I- attach- enormous importance to the
enterprise." he said. "After-confisca
tion, the most powerful weapon Eng
land has wielded against us- has been
Ignorance— the denial of the Irish peo
ple of opportunities for education. It
is^to be truly a* national Institution,
governed by and responsive to the peo
ple of Ireland — a free, self-governing
university. For the first five years the
senate is. to be nominated by the crown,
but so nominated as to make the over
whelming majority nationalists. After
the first five years all governing bodies
are to be elected. Four will be nomi
nated by the crown, and the others will
be the chancellor, the pfesidents of the
three constituent colleges, persons
elected by the governing bodies of the
colleges, elected by \he student convo
cation, and so on — thirty-five members
in all. , In other "words, the authorities
will be wholly Irish, and that means
nationalist. . '
"The only complaint we have is that
the endowment is , insufficient, but
that can be remedied. The statutory
foundation of the university and its
colleges is sound and satisfactory. The
systenuiwill for the first time provide
for the youth of Ireland adequate edu
cational facilities. More than that, the
university will be a center of national
ist spirit. The atmosphere will be
nationalist, every student will uncon
sciously- absorb patriotism with learn-,
ing, and the university will go far
to make Ireland once more a nation
among nations," j
National School System
I shall hardly have .time to discuss
the national schools, as the common
schools in Ireland are called. They
provide an instructive example in them
selves of the evils and absurdities of
the government system which afflicts
this country. Tin? national school sys
tem was 'established in 1833, upon a
basis of equity, illustrated by the fact
that the 'controlling board having
charge of the education of children, of
whom four-fifths were Catholics, was
Protestant by five to two. The effect
of this was seen In the persistent ef
forts to Anglicize the children.
The use of the English language was
enforced, although many thousands of
children spoke^ Gaelic. * This might be
justified on . the ground that English
was more useful In>veryday life, but
as much could hardly be said for the
use as textbooks of histories which
extolled the conquest or the country
by English .sovereigns and lauded the
defection of England from the Roman
church. Americans, more Jealous of
their> public schools tnan of any. other
institution.-.will need no emphasis upon
a policy so violently opposed to fair
ness • and "peace. •. i ' \u25a0
Even the "readers" «were carefully
edited..with a view -to ; bend the youth
ful mind' toward contentment under
the ruthless Injustices which English
men of a fairer generation have been
glad to remove. Said one book: On
the east of Ireland Is England where
the queen lives. Many people who live
in Ireland were born In England (2 or
3 pcr 1 cent possibly) and we speak the
same language and are called one na
tion.
Patriotic Lines Ruled Out
The English educational censor too,
had a fatherly, interest in the- tender
minds under his care. He condemned
and suppressed a reader which con
tained Scotfs verses, beginning:
Breathes tbere a man with soul so dead
Who nerer to himself hath said:
"This is my own, my, native land"?
Mild as this appeal to patriotism,
the English authorities expunged the
verses on account of ••their tendency
to promote seditious feelings," ;
Perhaps the national deficiency in
humor has been at the bottom of Eng
land's refusal to grant home rule. This
example, would seem to Indicate 4s4 s
much. But delicious as it Is, it has
not the exquisite flavor of podsnappery
to be found in the verses inserted in
the reader in place of Sir Walter's In
cendiary lines. These were by one of
the Episcopalian metnbers of the
board, and ended with the .touching
couplet: •\u0084
"I thank the Roodnesn and the grace ' which on
' ray birth hare smiled.
And made me Jn these Christian days • hanDr
English child." -
It is not an unpleasant picture— the
good archbishop penning the lines
which he conscientiously hoped would
aid in bringing the unregenerate Irish
children into the'blessed state of being
English: but imagine the' confusion: in.
the minds of the young Joyces andCon
sidines and Dwyers _who were
upon to recite them!

Aeroplane at Washington-

the English Channel
; CH.VLOXS SURMAR.VE, France, July
10— Henry Fa muni made a flight with
hl« aeroplane today, remalufntr In the
air one hour and twenty-three minute*.
This beats the French duration • record.
Two Successful Flights
Washington) July * 19.— showing
more confidence In himself than he has
exhibited before this season, Orville
Wright'made two -.successful flights in
the Wright aeroplane at Fort Myer
this evening. .;
The. first, flight began shortly after
6:30. p. m. and lasted 25 minutes and 18
seconds; during which time the aviator
circled the parade grounds 25^ times.
The second lasted half an hour anft
29 1-2. circuits were made.
FORTV-OXE MILES -AX HOUR
.-The machine behaved splendidly. In
the 55 minutes It covered«pproximately
37. miles. Wilbur Wright declared it
had attained a speed of '4l miles an
hour and reached a height of 150 feet.
He said the machine "worked very
smoothly, but was not yet in perfect
condition for the official flights. The
motor, he. explained, is iiot funning just
right and the new bearings have not
yet worn down sufficiently, to warrant
flights of longer duration. The time
of the trials will gradually be length
ened.
uVder perfect coxtrol
After making half a dozen circuits of
the course,. Wright on his first flight
this evening soared up 150 feet, when he
directed his course in a larger oval.
The machine was under perfect-con
trol and deviated very little, from the
fixed course. On the second flight
Wright directed his course around a
larger eclipse. He maintained a higher
level with the machine than before.'
Tomorrow, If conditions are favor
able, the machine will be given another
trial. v \u25a0 -\u0084
Attempts to Cross Channel
CAI^WS, 'July 19.— Herbert Latham,
the French aviator, made a daring but
unsuccessful attempt to cross the Eng
lish channel, in his, monoplane this
morning. He got away splendidly un
der perfect, conditions from the top
of Chalk cliff at Sangatte and had cov
ered half the distance at an average
height of 500 feet when the motor
slowed down and he was obliged to
descend. - -.
The air space of the wings, however,
kept the machine afloat and the mono
plane was.stretched out on the water
when the French torpedo boat destroyer
Harpon, "which had kept : abreast
throughout the journey, picked lip. .the
aviator. .
WAS XOT EVEV MKT ,k, k s
. M.. Utham wif'/not Vet snd sat on
the saddle, which is located' above the
wings and behind the. motor, smoking
a cigarette. He announced that he was
not discouraged and would try again
as soon as the 'machine- was repaired.-
The injuries to the; monoplane w«re
slight, the principal damage being
caused when it was r hauled aboard the
Harpon. The motor is intact. , .
The watchers on both shores had an
anxious half hour after the machine
wasJost to view behind a veil of fog
on the French side and apprehension
was not allayed until the semaphore at
Calais reported that the . Harpon was
returning with M. Latham, .uninjured,
aboard. On landing the aeronaut was
given a frantic reception.
The failure of the motor is attributed
to a bad carburetter. When - t the \u25a0-ma
chine was 200 feet above the water M.
Latham shut oft the power and the
machine down gently, alighting
on the waves with hardly a splash.
WILE TRY IT AGAIX
In a brief Interview M. Latham said:
/I can not^say exactly what stopped
thY motor. I tried to get ~< the engine
working again, but could not, and wa3
obliged to descend gradually -to the
sea. Ikelieve that previous to the
mishap I maintained an even flight of
400 feet above the' water. It was un
fortunate, that -the- motor stopped, as
everything else was favorable and, I
was going well at the time. I will
have another Anternotte monoplane
from* Charlons, ' with which another
attempt will be made to cross', the chan
nelwlthln "a week" or ten days."
' M. .; Latham left Calais for _Paris this
afternoon. *

American machine before M. Latham is
again ready to make the flight. -

ern federation of irilners' convention.
I The program was outlined In the an
nual report of Joseph Hutchinson,
member of the executive board. It in
cludes the abolishment of the offices
of ; president and vice president, the
creation of a new nonsalaried,execu
tive board, consisting of one member
from each state and. one salaried officer,
that of -secretary-treasurer.' - I
The report of Executive Board Mem
ber Yanco Terzich of Alaska charged
that .the Guggenheim Interests are im
porting, men by the . hundreds, over
stocking the market and following this
with a reduction in wages. He de
clared that' by pursuing the present
vigorous policy the federation would be
able to win the strike. He also
pleaded with the members of the fed
eration to use their efforts in bring
ing about the use of such terms as
"dago," "roundhead" and kindred names
among workingmen.
The Moyer forces again defeated the
"insurgents" ; by refusing to consider
resolutions certain - changes
in the constitution.

ened to shoot him.
"When Sutton was on the ground,"
said Adams, "I pushed his face Into
the earth with all my strength to keep
him from * seeing who ifc- was. He
struggled' for 20 seconds and then he
seemed to weaken." , -r*
"Did you hit Sutton s at that time?"
"Yes, I hit him when I first grappled
with' him." .
Adams told of a previous quarrel
with Sutton over the payment of $1.50,
which he owed Sutton. ,

with two young women. That evening
.1 went over to Lieutenant Sutton's

returning when the automobile came
up in front of the hall with Lieutenant
Sutton, Adams and, I think, Utley.
"Without apparent warning Adams
jumped from the machine and grappled
with Sutton. They were finally parted.
"Sutton then went to his room. We
talked quite a* while and Sutton ap
peared worked up over tne trouble. I
returned to Washington that night. "

CURES ECZEMA QUICKLY
Xew Discovery ll** . Revolutionized the
\u25a0Treatment of $kla Diseases
Xothln's In the history of medicine
haj ever approached the success of tho
marvelous skin remedy known as pos-
lam, whlcc. it Is safe to say. has; cured
more cases of eczema, and skin diseases
than any remedy ever offered for these
ills. * - .
The success of poslam is not at all
surprising when It Is considered that
even a very small quantity applied to
the skin stops Itching Immediately and
cures chronic cases in two weeks. The
very worst cases of eczema, as well as
acne, herpes, tetter, piles, salt rheum,
rash, crusted humors, scaly scalp and
every form of itch yield to it readily.
Blemishes such as pimples, red noses,
muddy and inflamed skin disappear al-
most immediately when . poslam is ap-
plied, the complexion being cleared
overnight.
Every druggist keeps both the 50 cent
size (for minor troubles) and the $2
jar. and either of these may be ob-
: tamed in San Francisco at the Owl
Drug Co., as well as other reliable drus
stores.
But no one is even asked to purchase
poslam without first obtaining an ex-
perimental package, which will be sent
by mail, free of charge, upon request.
