He states his liabllities at $15,981 and has assets consisting of | promissory notes of the face value of $1500. His heaviest creditor is Mrs. Lilllan McDonald of 42% Vernon street, Oakland. who lent him $00 upon securities which | The so-called securities which he gave each of the Northern Railway, South African Republic; £300, 5 per cent deben- ture stock of Australian Estate and Mort- gage Company, Limited; five shares of the Groot-Fontein Exploration Company, Limited; 3 shares New Africander Gold Mining Company, and a bill of “Alex Jack London’ (residence and amount not stated), payable in five monthly instal- ments. Stephen in his petition swears that the values of these securitles are unknown and probably worthless. The First National Bank of this city Is a creditor for $2500, sesured by a note for $1500, signed by Allison & Neff, who have since gone into bankruptcy. Arthur C. Franklin is another creditor. He holds a dtamond and sapphire ring as security for a debt of $i3%. Dr. Stephen swears that the ring is worth $17. The heaviest unsecured creditors are Charles Bone of this city $2800, R. P.

OAKLAND, Nov. 15.—Mrs. Lillian Mc- Donald was seen at her home at 425 Ver- non street, In the fashionable district of | Vernon Heights, this evening and ad-| mitted that shé had loaned $6000 to Dr. Stephen. Further than that admission she would not discuss her dealings with the physician. | “T have known Dr. Stephen for several | years,” she said, “and I believed him to be the soul of honor. It is true that 1 loaned him about $6000 but I have his| notes for every cent of the amounts 1 have advanced. It is nobody’s business what became of the money.

NO MEMORIAL HALL IN THE NEW PUBLIC LIBRARY City Attornmey Holds Supérvisors Have Not the Power to Give Space to Grand Army of Republic. City Attorney Long yesterday ren- dered an opinion that the Board of Su- pervisors has no power under the char- ter to set apart space for the erection of a memorial hall in the new public library to be occupied by the Grand Army of the Republic during the exist- ence of that organization, and there- after to be maintalned as a depository for military flags and mementoes. The opinion says: The California Division of the Grand Army of the Republic 1s @ voluntary assoclation of he veterans of the United Btates army who served during the late Civil War. It Is a so- cial organisation, and while the public derives benefits from its labors in the preservation of the: records and traditions of the Civil and in other ways, the erection of a Memborial Hall In the proposed new library building can- not by any strétch of the imagination be re- garded as one Of the pu contemplated i the ‘adoptios of various ordinances and in ce.

Then listen. At the St. Francis Hotel on Friday and Saturday afternoons and evenings, the managers of the Nursery for Homeless Children will hold a gift sale, the funds to be devoted to the care of the little tykes and paying off part of the debt upon their beautiful new home at Fourteenth and Lake streets—a home that's an honor to the city and a joy to the helpless little folk who found ‘themselves adrift in a big city. Christmas is near and you'll need a lot of things for father, mother and sister Mary. Why not patronize the gift sale? e e FAIL TO ENTER VOTE FOR UNION LABOR CANDIDATES Election Officers of Precjnct in Thirty- Sixth District Are ed to Ap- pear Before Commissioners. When the Election Commissioners opened the tally sheets of the Sixth Precinct of the Thirty-sixth Assembly District yesterday they discovered that the votes of the Unlon Labor party candidates had not been entered in the columns. The commission immediately cited Election Officers J. F. Hahn and J. D. Gorman to appear this afternoor and explain their negligence. Election Officers James Hallett and Henry Ward of the Seventh Precinct of the Thirty-first Assembly District and F. J. Nusbaum and J. Miller of the Twelfth Precinct of the Thirty- second District, who had failed to fill in the votes of candidates on the dupli- cate tally sheets, appeared before. the commission in answer to a summons. com- mission, berated the officers for thelr carelessness, but postponed action un- til to-morrow evening, when a special meeting will be held to decide what shall be done in the matter. Under a former ruling of the commission elec- tion officers were not allowed to make any changes in their returns. In that event the official count will show less votes cast than were entered on the semi-official returns. This would not affect the election of the candidates on the Union Labor ticket, whose major- ities will permit of a large margin of loss in view of the fact that the vote of the fusion candidates would also show a loss.

FRESNO, Nov. 16.—The Fresno County Grand Jury has taken up the raisin scan- dal in this city, and as a result of its in- vestigations arrests for grand larceny are expected to follow.
