, at I o'clock yesterday afternoon with
' every prospect of success. There were

frs and guides leave early this morn-
Ing for a tour of the valley, covering
CS miles.

ception and dinner at the ladies' im
provement club of Modesto, held Im
mediately after their arrival yester

the theater, relating to the resources of
\u25a0Jbe region. Besides the recital of facts
and figures showing ihe possibilities
tit the land there were thrown on a
screen a large series of stereopticon
views of the country to be later visited.
Special emphasis was laid on the
\u25a0 abundance of water and the wonderful
•results from Irrigation.

.. ' - The tickets furnished by The Call
'are -good for 10 days. Many of the ex
cursionists, 'wishing to be settled as
" ;s.oon as possible, will remain until they

spot. The businessmen of Modesto,
•particularly the real estate dealers,
• '-will give their entire time if necessary
\u25a0 tjd i ehowing- lands during this period.
: They regard The Call's "seeing Mo
desto" <rip as the beginning of a new
era of development and prosperity. It
fs assumed that the new settlers will
tell others of the .wonderful possibili
ties and many attraclons of the San
Joaquin and thereby lead them also
. to invest.

ABSENT SHERIFFS
ACCOUNTS SHORT
$12,000 Said to Be Missing
From Funds Handled by
. J. J. Owens of Tonopah
For more than a month the police of
San Francisco and other bay "cities have
been unsuccessfully seeking Sheriff' J.
J. Owens of Tonopah, who disappeared
in this city about May 9. -Owens was
regarded asl'a leading politician .and.
had 'announced his' candidacy, for the
position of secretary of state of Ne
vada.
Following Owens'. disappearance the
grand jury of Nye county investigated
his accounts. v Fred" L.' Berry, assistant
district attorney of San "Francisco, last,
week went to Tonopah in* the interests
of the indemnity company that is on
the missing man's bond. Berry stated
yesterday that the grand jury's ex
perts, as the result of a partial exam
ination of the books of. the sheriff's
office, believed he was $10,000 or $12,000
short in his accounts. Owens left $13.
000 in the First national- bank to the
credit of "J.- J. Owens, sheriff." This
money, -which, is believed to have in
cluded .personal and public funds, -has
been turned over to the county, but the
shortage discovered by. the grand jury
is over and above^that.* -• ' • \u25a0
. As sheriff Owens ' was ex-offlclo as
sessor and collector of personal prop-,
erty and bullion taxes' of the county,
in which capacities he handled:. con r
slderably more than $100(000 a. year.
There -Is much mystery connected
with the dropping from sight of Owens;
"When he left Tonopah May. 8 last.he
had been remarried only about a month,
having been divorced six months ear
lier. May 9. he sent, a telegram- to his
wife stating he would return-home the
following day and that is the last trace
of, the' -official.- " ; ; vs ":~ •
Owens, it is believed,' carried about
$2,000 in money when he left Tonopah.
He wore considerable jewelry, r *

WESTERN PACIFIC
LOSES KETCHAM
Division Superintendent Takes
Better Paying Position With
the Southern Pacific
No Further Appointments Have
Been Announced by the
Gould Road
Much surprise was occasioned In
operating circles of the Western Pacific
and Southern Pacific railroads yester
day when it was learned, that C H.
Ketcham, superintendent of the western
division of the "Western Pacific, had
resigned -to become assistant superin
tendent of the western division of the
Southern Pacific. Ketcham has been
stationed at Sacramento with the West
ern Pacific ever since that road began
operating last December. He will be
assistant superintendent at Oakland
mole under W. A. Whitney.'
Ketcham came to the Western Pacific
from the Lackawanna, of which he was
superintendent of the New York divi
sion. During his railroad career he has
been with the New York Central lines
and with -the Chicago and Northwest
ern. " -
No reason is given for the change. 1
other than that the new position will
be a better one as far as salary is con
cerned! It was at first rumored that
Ketcham was to be division superinten
dent'at Oakland and that Whitney was
to go back to the Union Pacific, but this
was denied by those in authority yes
terday.
The appointment „• of H. M. Adams as
general freight agent of the Western
Pacific was confirmed at the local offices
of the Western pacific yesterday. No
further appointments were announced,
although it seems certain that P. M.
Wadleigh, assistant general passenger
and ticket agent of the Denver and Rio
Grande, Will secure the position. E. B.
Boyd,' assistant, to the vice president of
the Gould lines, whose office is at Chi
cago, will arrive in this city in about
a week and it is probable that during
his stay in this city the traffic depart
ment of the Western Pacific will be
completely organized.
C. H. fachlacks, first vice, president,
said yesterday that the road would be
open for passenger business by August
15, and that all passenger traffic offi
cials would be announced by that date.
No successor to T. M. Schumacher has
yet been named, and It seems more cer
tain, because of the delay, that the
position of third vice president In
charge of traffic is to be abolished.
REPAIR SHOP ROBBED
THROUGH THE SKYLIGHT
Thief Captured When He Tries
to Recover Stolen Machine
Ellis Fried, the owner of the motor
cycle repair shop at 143S Market street,
opened. the Vloor of his store yesterday
morning to find that burglars had got
in through the skylight, taken a motor
cycle, broken the cash register and
taken $7 from it and stolen many tools.
At 4 o'clock in the afternoon Henry N.
Morse, who gives his address as the
New York house, was arrested by De
tectives Sequine and Graham as he
returned to claim the stolen motorcycle,
which had "been.. located by Sequine in
the tailor shop of P. Bright, 1019 How
ard street. Upon searching Morse the
police, found- a. pair of goggles, a
wrench an J other tools, all of which
were identified by Fried.
