BANKERS DISLIKE NAME OF TRUST Promoters of the New Combine Explain Their Plans, The new banking combine, which is to be known as the Central Trust Company | of California and is now an admitted fact, | expects to wield a very wide influence in | the financial world. Its field of operations will not be limited ‘to this State, as sever- al New York and Eastern banks are members of the association, having sub- scribed for a large block of shares in the new corporation. The promoters of the combine are very reticent in giving out information, but are emphatic in their denials that the new company is a trust or consolidation of banks. They explain that it is merely an association for the purpose of closer re- lations in the interchange of securities and the placing of investments. Each bank_belonging to the combination will | condiict its individual affairs independent- 1y and will not be dictated to by the gen- | eral organization. The capital stock is to be $1,500,000. Practically all of the shares have already been subscribed for, but the promoters re- serve the right to reject any of these sub- scriptions, as it is desired to scatter the stock in small holdings among men or | irms in actual business, instead of con- centrating it in the hands of a few capi- talists. In this way, it is believed, the volume of business will be increased. In addition to the Eastern banks, whose names are suppressetl for the present, the financial concerns belonging to the pro- posed combine are thes Swiss-American Bank, the Marin County Bank of San Ra- | fael the Salinas National Bank, the Cala- veras Bank and the Germania Trust Com- | pany, which is practically to be absorbed | by the new company. Several individual H. C. Brunner, cashier of the Germania | Trust Company, and Frank J. Symmes. yresident of the Thomas Day Electric Company, are interested, The following official statement con- cerning the new combine was issued yes- terday by the Germania Trust Company The Germania Trust Company is not a party to any consolidation of banks. contemplated consists in the increase of the paid-up capital stock of the Germania Trust | Company to $1,500,000, with a surplus of $225,- | 000, the new stock being taken by important | local and Eastern interests. . The name of the | institution will be changed to that of the Central Trust Company of California. Its main object is 1o concentrate on a central | organization in San Francisco the business of | a number of existing country banks in which the Central Trust Company of California will be interested. It will also transact a genéral trust and banking business. Owing to the npecessary legal proceedings the new institution will not open for business\ tntil February 1, i |RIO DE JANEIRO WRECK | CONSIDERED IN COURT | Judge De Haven Hears Arguments on Matter of the Limitation of Liability. United States District Judge de Haven vesterday, began the hearing of the peti- tion of the Pacific Mail Steamship Com- | pany to limit the liability of the company for the loss of life and property caysed by morning of February 22, 1901. McNabb and Denman, Stanley Jackson and Chickering, Thomas & Gregory ap- peared on behalf of the estates of the drowned persons. Ward McAllister rep- resented the company. Pilot F. W. Jor- dan and Graham Coghlan, second officer | of the Rio, testified as to the wreck, but | notying new was brought out. Attorney Denman asked to have the pe- tition dismissed because the defendants had left a safe wanchorage outside the harbor and attempted to sail the vessel in without taking any soundings while a dense fog prevailed. He raised the point | also that the company was negligent be- cause it employed a Chinese crew. The hearing will be resumed this morning. e Kennedy Is Placed on Trial.

A cunning schemer, who recently ar- rived from the East has been trying a new game on the savings banks of San Frarcisco. Of course he is after quick and easy money and he is reported to have pocketed some coin here. Possibly this gratuitous notice may deprive him of profits he has anticipated for opera- tions in other cities and towns of the Pa- cific coast. His scheme would not prevail with large savings institutions in this city, where there is so much money that it is difficult tc ind ways in which to invest it. This vlethora of coin, in fact, has enabled rome of thq banks to make a rule lmit- ing the amount that any one person is entitled to deposit to a very moderate size. There are smaller institutions that have rot proved to be so popular with the suvers and to these the attention of the tion, which has been made boldly, is to funds for investment by inducing people He has represented that he has wide con- rcetions and much influence with the frugally inclined who are engaged in laying by something for a rainy day and that he has it in his power to bring these people in as depositors wherever he de- sires. For his services he desires a com- mission and is not slow in demanding it in a genteel way. In some instances the schemer’s bland- ishments have proved effectual and have earned him coveted coin. Whenever he has been assured a commiSsion for in- creasing business he has brought in par- regularly opened accounts and have taken out pass books having recorded therein sums of varying size to their credit. On the face of it this is all regular. A small com- ission might bring to a small bank that was trying to build up its business some- thing that would be of profit in the long run. At the same time it would be fair that the person who took the trouble to drum up this business should be com- pensated reasonably, but not excessively. Small banks must have been surprised, however, to find their newly acquired de- posits and their newly found allies dis- the original opening of accounts under the auspices of the wily financier who drew down commissions. It soon dawned upon’ bank clerks that this .was only a game, the success of which depended en- tirely upon its being something new and clever. 8o far as is known the schemer has departed for other fields, e ] | HONOR THE MEMORY OF DEPARTED PRIEST Grand Directors of Young Men’s In- stitute Pdy Tribute to Father McKinnon. The board of grand directors of the | Young Men’s Institute met last Saturday | night and adopted the folléwing resolu- | tions_of respect to the memory of the late Father William McKinnon, who re- cently died in Manila: | Whereas, It has pleased Almighty God to call unto himself his servant, the Rev. Wil- liam D. McKinnon; and Whereas, He was a man of sterling qualities, lofty ideals and noble character; a loyal cit- izen, jealous for his country’'s honor, yet desirous of peace; and Whereas, He was a priest whose every work was actuated by motives of holiness and self- sacrificing zeal for the glory of God and the salvation of souls; and Whereas, The Young Men’s Institute has lost a faithful brother, who gave his life ‘“‘for God and for Country”; therefore Be it Resolved, That the Young Men’'s Institiite, Pacific jurisdiction, while fervently praying for the repose of the soul of Rev. Father Mc- Kinnon and hoping to profit by his Christian example, express its appreclation of the loss of our brother and its sincerest sympathies to his family; and be it further Resolved, That a copy of these resolutions | be spread upon the minutes of the board of grand directors and that coples be sent for | publication to the Institute Journal, the Mon- | itor and the daily pres: e | TO CURE A COUGH IN ONE DAY.

Acting Mayor Brandenstein yesterday | signed the resolution passed on Monday the permits heretofore granted to the Cushing, Wetmore Company and Gray | Bros. to conduct blasting and rock crush- | irg on Telegraph Hill and Clipper and | Douglass streets and declaring such oper- ations to be nmisances. ‘While Branden- | stein advised postponing action on the | resotution until a report could be had | from City Engineer Grunsky, he realized | | that it was the will of a majority of his colieagues that blasting for purposes of rock crushing should cease within the city limits. He therefore affixed his sig- nature to the measure, so that it is now a law.

TR Legislative Bills and Certain Nationzl Measures To Be Discussed. 4 —_— The California Water and Forest Asso- ciation next week will take up in annual convention the legislation that has been proposed for consideration by the next Legislature, as reported by a commission hegded by Chief Justice Beatty of the Su- 'P'&e Court. A detailed account of this report containing the proposed measures has already been exclusively published in | The Call. A bill is suggested by the asso- | ciation to embrace nine distinctive fea- tures, which are enumerated as follows: A declaration of ownership in the State of | the flowing waters of its streams subject to | vested rights; the definition of riparian right | and the limitation of such right to beneficiul and needed uses of water and the means by which water may be appropriated; the fixing of rates and compensation for water supplied to the public; the abolishment of the offices { of the Commissioner of Public Works and the | auditing board to the Commissioner of Public | Works and the substitution thereof of a board of engineers, of which the Governor is made a member, ex officio; vesting in sald board of ecngineers all the powers of the offices | abolished and all powers necessary to carry | out the provisions and objects of the proposed | law: providing a system of administration end control of the distribution and use of water |in order to insure its proper and fullest ben- | eficlal use and prevent its illegal use and, "waste; authorizing the State to acquire by | agreement or condemnation any and all water i and water rights; protecting the Federal Gov- ernment in the proposed storage and distribu- tion of flood waters, Added, to this extensive programme is added some action to be taken concerning forest reservations in California as pro- posed by the Federal Government. Many ! millions of acres were recently withdrawn | as the basis of forest reserves in the mountain counties. To such withdrawal the California , Miners’ Association has objected. President Willlam Thomas says | that this action by the miners’ associa- | tion in annual convention is regretted by | the Water and Forest Association. He | | thinks that some tracts may be set aside for the preservation of the headwaters of the large rivers and other streams of the | State, and that possibly some sort of a | compromise may be reached that will be | satisfactory and beneficial. The Sacramento Valley Development Association is also interested in the out- come of the controversy that has arisen over the forest reserves and has sent Sec- retary Wright to examine for the associa- | tlon the regions in the vicinity of the | headwaters of the Sacramento and other | rivers and to make photographs there, | At the same time the Federal Govern- | ment has had a special expert in the field, Mr. Ruby, who was sent out by the De- | partment of the |Interior. These facts | show that the coming convention is the most important of the Water and Forest Association. The call for the convention was sent out yesterday. The date is Fri- day, December 5. The meeting place is the Palace Hotel. BUTTER-MAKERS READY TO HOLD CONVENTION Much Talent Is Represented in List of Those Who Will Read { Papers.

Mining Man Whose Extrava- gance Brought Him Noto- riety Departs. ‘With the departure of William H. Daley from this city, which occurred a few days ago, the Palace Hotel lost one of its most extravagant ‘patrons and San Francisco one of its most eccentric residents. Everybody around the Palace. knew Daley. He came. here from. London to represent the Copper King Mining Com- pany, Limited, and during his three years’ stay in California occupied the most ex- pensive rooms at the hotel. He is cred- ited with being the most particuiar epi- cure that ever struck the grill and the steward was armed with a long list of “don’ts” in reference to how his meals should be served. His luncheons at the hotel averaged $15 and his dinners $30 every day in the week. During the duck season he would order five birds and afler they had been placed before him he would select the one that he thought the best; the others would be merely squeezed for the juice. His wines were of the highest \price and were imported by himself. Al- though he was a bachelor and always dined alone his hotel bill at the end of the month was big enough for an ex- travagant family. Daley was always most particular about hils appearance and he wore no clothes that did not have the tag of a London maker on them. Daley was born in the South, but had rekided .o long in London and had ac- quired the accent so well that he was always mistaken for an Englishman. He was a most conspicuous figure on the street owing to his peculiar walk and the cut of his clothes. ~ The Copper King mine, which was originally owned by Mrs. Frank Short, was sold by her to some Englishmen for $12,500. These promoters floated the Cop- per King Mining Company, Limited, in Great Britain with a capital stock of 93,400,000 Daley was sent to California to manage the mine and he erected a smelter at Bull Point as a monument to the money that had been subscribed. It is sald that the English stockholders were dissatisfied with Daley’s manage- ment and as a result he was recalled and a mining man by the name of Hatley has now been installed in his place. CLAIM SHORTAGE IS LESS THAN REPORTED City Officials Investigate Expert Has- sell’s Report on Ex-Cashier ‘White’s Accounts. Acting Mayor Brandenstein, Commis- sioner of Works Manson and the mem- bers of the Supervisors’ Finance Commit- tee neld a conference yesterday for the purpose of comparing certain garding the peculations of ex-Cashier White of the Board of Works with the accounts as kept in the Auditor’s office. It is claimed that White's shortage is considerably less than the amount report- ed by the expert, which was something over §7000. Nothing was discovered, how- ever, which substantiates the claim, but further investigations will be made. —_———— Strenuous Method of Wooing a Girl. Miss Kate Bowen, who lives at 513 Thir- ‘teenth street, and John Main are em- ployed in the United States Laundry on Sixteenth street.

Finally, he lost his temper Monday night and, it is alleged, told her that if she refused to receive She informed her (friends alleged of the | threat and .they advised her to pay no attention to Main, as he was probably only trying to scare her. Yesterday morn- ing Main, it is said, repeafed the threat and exhibited a revolver. The superin- tendent of the department where Miss Bowen is employed took the revolver from Main. A warrant has been issued for Main’s arrest on a charge of making threats against life. ADVERTISEMENTS.
