R —— e ——— CLAIMS BOARD HID THE BODK Expert Hassell Says He Is Hampered in His Investigation. 1 | Expert J. J. Hassell, who is investigat- | ing the accounts of Willlam J. H. White, | the defaulting cashier of the Board of | Works, made a formal accusation before | the Supervisors’ Finance Committee ycs- | terday that the board named is willfuny concealing a book which it is important to have in order to pursue his investiga- | tions. “We have been unable to obtain the | stub of receipts issued to persons paying | sums for account of advertising,” said | Hassell. ““We cannot finish our report un til we get the book. We have repeatedly requested the officials of the board to| produce the book. It seems to me that it was made to disappear intentionally.” Commissioner Manson and Secretary J. | Leo Park ated that diligent gearch had been made for the book, but without suc- | cess. The accusation came after Hassell had admitted in a second report that he had made excess error of $670 in his veport regarding the amount which White | embezzled Becretary J J. Leo Park of the board, | after & personal inquiry, declared that Hassell h: made an error of $1470, and | the amount of White's defalcation shuuld, be Jessened by that sum. Hassell claims | that Park is incorrect 2s to several items aggregating §74 Hassell says the er- rors in his own report were due to the following three causes: The work was rushed and he was con- stantly importuned to bring it to an end. | The data from which the report was made were very voluminous, and he was | weeks in getting it. The line of the work | in which the errors occurred were per- formed by one of Hassell's employes and he reposed too much confidence in his ac- | curacy. - Another statement will be filed | which will nearly overcome the conceded | errors and leave the defalcation where it | was first reported. The difference will not ameunt to $100 | | | Mrs. Almira Eaton Dies. Mrs. Almira Baton, widow of L Ward | Eaton, died yesterday morning at the Hotel Plymouth in her eighty-seventh | year.

Green, a draughts- | man in the employ of the United States| | Government at the Union Iron Works, to | | pay to his wife, Lucy Green, $4 a month for her support.

Prescott, One of the Pioneer Captains of -Industry on Pacific Coast, Passes Away Suddenly in His Apartments % g EORGE W. PRESCOTT, one of pioneer captains of industry in « California and the first president of the Union Iron Works, was found lifeless in his room in the Palace Hotel yesterday morning. The discovery that the aged man’s useful ca- reer was at an end was made by his wife, who went to call him for breakfast short- ly after 9 o'clock. Prescott spent the day preceding his death most happily. He took an active part in the reception tendered to Clar- ence Mackay and never appeared in bet- ter spirits. The early portion of the even- ing he spent in the hotel court chatting with friends and he retired early, as was his habit. When Mrs. Prescott called to wake her husband vesterday morning she was alarmed at receiving no response. Going to the bedside she found that he was ap- parently unconscious and Dr. John Gall- wey was called in. The physician an- nounced that death had pnsued several hours before and that heart disease was ils probable cause. . George W. Prescott was born in the State of Maine sixty-five years ago. He came to Marysville, then a center of trade in the State during the early '50's and en- gageq in mercantile business. In 1875, as- sociated, with Irving M. Scott, he estab- - FIRST PRESIDENT OF THE UN- ION IRON WORKS, WHO DIED SUDDENLY IN THIS CITY. L lished an iron foundry in this city under the firm name of Prescott, Scott & Co. As the business of the foundry increased and its proportions grew it became the Union Iron Works, with Prescott as its first president. Later Scott succeeded Prescott, but the latter continued to take an active interest in the affairs of the big institution. Since his retirement from business Mr. Prescott has spent his time while in the city at the Palace Hotel in the same sulte of rooms he had occupied ever slnqg*he hotel was built. He resided much of Ythe time at a beautiful country home at Cloverdale. Both Irving M. Scott and Henry T. Scott were called to the Palace as soon as it was learned that their old friend was dead. They have taken charge of the funcral arrangements. Mrs. Prescott alone survives her hus- band, all their children being dead. Mr. Prescott was always a leager in commercial circles and an earnest advo- cate of measures for the advancement of the interests of the community. He be- longed to the Pacific Union Club and the Olympic Club and was a Eromlnent Ma- son. @ e e @ No sideboard Is quite complete without a bottle of ‘Jesse Moore” rye ar bourbon whisky.

The wounded man ran hurrledly up Fifth street away from his assailant. Arriving at the corner of Bryant street,. he en- tered a saloon and fell to the floor in an exhausted condition. The man who committed the murderous assault paused for a moment and watched his victim's flight. Suddenly he started in pursuit. Having lost sight of the wounded man and figuring that he had turned. the corner of Bryant street, the shooter, with his smoking pistol still in his -hand, ran down that thoroughfare. When in front of 672 Bryant street the murderous Japanese noticed the approach of Nelson Higgins, a watchman in the employ of the !mber firm of Seott & Van Arnsdale. Higgins had heard the shot and had started toward Fifth street to learn its cause. On seeing Nohara coming rdpidly toward him he figured that he was a participant in the shooting and, immediately called upon him to halt. Nohara obeyed the order and came to a sudden standstill. Higgins approached with the intention of relieving the man of his weapon, when Nohara quickly raised his arm and, placing the muzzle NOTICE TO ADVERTISERS.
