This is alleged to have been done by forgeries and ad- ditions to the bills. In this way Minor got about $60 of his money, and the bal- ance was drawn on other bills and given to him. When it became evident that the crook- edness was to come to light during the last city campaign Minor sent Attorney Rhodes” to the City Treasurer with in- structions to pay the $60 Into the city. Treasurer McGeoghegan refused to re- ceive the money. Rhodes left the money lying on ‘the counter and left the office. McGeoghegan threw the monef‘ to the floor. There the shining gold lay for a coyple of hours. Persons passing in and out of the Treasurer’s of- fice concluded that the city must be flush if money were so plentiful as to be ui. Finally Police Captain thrown ab George Pickering was called in and asked to take p sion of the money, which he did them the gold has been Iying in the police office. A few days ago Attorney Rhodes called at the police office and demanded the $50 for Minor. Pickering refused to give it It is sald that a replevin suit will commenced. There is no law by which the City Treasurer can receive “‘conscience’” money, and Minor evidently believes he might as well have the coin as to let it lie in the police station. The police officlals declare they will not give up the money until the ownership of it is decided in court.

This morning when a detective from Oakland came for the prisoner a young man who clalmed to be a brother of King deposited $100 for his aopearance for trial in that city. King was then released.

The splendid special train provided by the Southern Pacific Company rolled out cf the sheds at Oakland mole at 12:30 o'clock this afternoon, boomed through the fertile intervening country and ar- rived at Stockton, the first place to be isited, on schedule time. The cordial Stocktonlans, headed by Mayor Catts, with President W. P. Steinbach and Sec- retary Colvin B. Brown of the Stockton Chamber of Commerce, were at the rafl- way station. They had a long line of pri- vate carriages ready to show to the vis- itcrs the many evidences of material prog- ress and the guldeboards to future ad- vancement in Stockton. The Stocktonians welcomed their guests heartily, shook hands with each and every one and made them speedily at home. No preliminary speechmaking took place. Mayor Catts, Councilman Turner, Fred Arnold, Andrew Wolf, C. B. Hart, L. H. Frankheimer, Captain J. W. Smith, Miss Ida Keagle, Henry E. Adams, Jacob Simon, H. E. Barber, County Assessor Orton, Harold J. Gage, Sheriff Sibley, D. A. Guernsey, F. B. Clough, W. W. Middlecoff, Colvin B. Brown, John Jory, E. C. Dickinson, Julius Gerlach, J. C. Brandt, W. P. Stelnbach, F. A. Guernsey and Major J. D. Peters were the citizens who, tendering the use of their carriages, accompanied the visit- ors on the entire journey through Stock- ton's streets. ‘" MILL CITY’S INDUSTRIES. The San Francisco business men saw the mineral baths; Stockton’s natural gas well; the beginnings of the new glass works, the only institution of the sort west of the Mississippi River, and which prccures its supplies of sand from Tesla; viewed the works of the Holt Manufac- turing Company, which occupy five blocks; the Stockton woollen mills, which occupy an entire block; the three great flour mills which Stockton boasts; the Tesla bunkers, with a capacity of §000 tons, and the briquette plant that has a daily production of 600 tons; the Stockton Pottery Works, where large municipal contracts are being filled; the Davis dis- tilling plant, where the crude oil from the Kern Kiver fleld is turned into ofls of re- quired gravity. They saw the site of the new iron works to be erected on Mormon Channel, com- Jrising six acres; the plant of the EI i’orado Brewing Company; the great lum- ber yards of ott & Van Arsdale, the Stockton Lumber Company and the Simpson & Gray Company,and other Stock- ton industries which make, collectively, a \Excursionists Ride Through Streets of Stockton and Are Guests at a Reception in the Sutter Club at Sacramento.

Then they viewed the water front, the residence sec- tion of the city and the grounds of the asylum. ‘While the visitors were touring the city thefr hosts caused boxes of lusclous San Joaquin County cherrles to be placed in the Pullmans. ~At the end of the inspec- tlon of the city Andrea Sbarboro, the chairman of the San Francisco Promotion Committee, who is once more the sire of touring business men, proposed three cheers and a tiger for Stockton, which were heartily given. STOCKTONIANS PLEASED. That the purpose and significance of the visit of the San Franciscans is fully un- derstood in Stockton is manifested by the following signed statements procured by The Call correspondent accompanying the excursionists: There s the best possible feeling between Stockton and San Francisco. The visit of these representative business men of San Francisco, who are prominent as members of the commercial organizations of San Francisco and who have made records for enterprise, sa- gaclty and loyalty to the State of California, shows the statement I have made to be true. The effect of the visit will be mutually bene- ficlal. We wish to have San Francisco know what we possess in Stockton. This opportu- nity 1s favorable; for that Stockton is pleased. W. P. STEINBACH, President Stockton Chamber of Commerce, WRITES OF CITY’S GROWTH. The past year and a half have been eventful In the history of Stockton. The natural ad- vantages of this clty and the surrounding country have been siow of development. For years the people have done nothing‘in a sys- tematic and wise way to make thelr resources known. Two years ago there was an awaken- ing which led to the formation of a Chamber of Commerce. The federal census of 1900 showed Stockton to have $5,000,000 invested in manufacturing enterprises, supporting an an- nual pay roll of $1,000.000. Since that census Stockton has added to her Industries a window glass factory, with an annual production of 65,000 boxes; the manufacture of fuel bri- quettes out of petroleum and coal dust; a sewer pipe factory; a cement works; an oil refinery; an ice factory and cold storage plant and a factory for the making of heavy mining machinery. The people of Stockton, belleving that the clty has had a phenomenal industrial growth, are particularly glad of the opportunity to show their city and its Industries to the busi- ness men of San Franoisco, particularly now, when San Francisco has so generously come to the ald of the interior in the efforts of the latter to invite capital and immigration. San ncisco will be the chief beneficiary from the upbuilding of the Sacramento and San Joaquin valleys, and the fact that she has put her shouider to the wheel in so whole- hearted a manner makes the people glad. Never before was there a better feeling toward San Franclsco than there is to-day. COLVIN B, BROWN, Becretary of the Stockton Chamber of Com- merce, MAYOR CATTS GRATIFIED. It was with considerable gratification that the people of Stockton welcomed the business men of San Francisco. The people of our city realize that there is & very powerful unity of Interest between San Francisco and the in- terfor and that San Francisco by the trip she has taken has shown her tealization of the < fact that Stockton's interest is also her inter- est. This Is a cause of satisfaction. Stockton, originally an entrepot for the southern miners in the early days, after the settlement of the valley and the rise of the wheat and fruit industry became the gateway of the valley. She is really a common point between the San Joaquin_and the Sacramento valleys. She is surrounded by lands, than which there are none richer in California. The only thing that can retard her is delay In making her re- sourced known. San Franclsco has joined the interior in bringing to the attention of the people of the world this wonderful valley. The people of Btockton and of San Joaquin County inly appreciate it. “GRORGE E. CATTS, Mayor of Stockton. Messrs. Catts and Brown accompanied the excursion to Sacramento. On the way a short stop was made at Galt. SACRAMENTO'S GREETING. Sacramento sent a delegation to the station to meet the San Franciscans, Mayer Clark representing the city and H. A.

Irvine, After an hour passed in sociability the speechmaking began. President Breuner of the Sacrgmento Chamber of Commerce welcomed the guests and sald that there had been little time for preparation of a formal reception. Sacramento had hoped that the San Franciscans could see Lhe city by day. Much good, he said, must result from meetings of representatives of the several sections of the State. Andrea Sbarboro responded. He said that this must not be considered the real visit of Ban Francisco to Sacramento. In the near future the San Francisco busi- ness men would come to Sacramento, and Would also study the surrounding coun- ry. He spoke of the composition of the present party, which included merchants, manufacturers, producers and profession- al men. Mr. Sbarboro introduced Irving M. Scott. ‘Mr. Scott said the purpose of the visitors was one of friendship and brotherhood. A new current of enterprise had been set in motion by the battle of Manila Bay.

Brown was granted a divorce from Milton V. Brown by Superior Judge Rhodes to-day. The Browns were married a few years ago and their life was a continual honey- moon until last summer. They moved in the best soclety. Brown was the buyer for a number of large fruit coneerrs. With the opening of the summ?r season last year a young Chicago gir!, charm- ing, sweet, and pretty, came to Los Gatos with her parents, who are reputed to be wealthy.

The Chicago girl and her parents went to Los Angeles for the winter, and finally Brown deserted his wife and followed. He is now in that city. A few months ago Mrs. Brown filed suit for divorce, charging her husband with desertion and infidelity. He did not con- test the suit.
