W. Hoch and made public late this afternoon. The report covers all transactions made by the State Treasurers from January 1, 1898, to June 30, 1905, including the two full terms of former State Treas- urer Frank E. Grimes and one term |and six months of the administration | of Thomas T. Kelly, the present State | Treasurer. The bulk of the shortage | appears in the accounts of the office during the Grimes administration. Of the total of $78,000 $60,000 is due to missing coupons from bonds owned by the State school fund, and $18,000 results from loss of interest on war~ | rants issued by the Territory of Okla- boma to the State of Kansas. Governor Hoch declined to announce what action he would take. Former State Treasurer Frank B. Grimes issued a statement to-night. He absolutely denles any responsibility | for the shortage in the Oklahoma war- rants and says he Is able to account satisfactorily for all the bond coupon shortages except $7215, Grimes says {that he is willing to make good any | shorta, for which he was respon- sible. Grimes puts the responsibility for & nmumber of serious discrepancies | upon C..R. Richey, his chief clerk. Aside from the shortage shown the Morris report makes sensational | dis- closures concerning the erasure of the Btate property stamp from the backs of ccupons and the mutilation of records in the offices of the State Treasursr and State Auditor. { 00 2AEAE WL AE L e Must Return Jewels.

Mrs. Kincaid, who is a daughter of the deceased, said that her mother gave her the jewels and also a pair of dlamond earrings and a sealskin coat. While the court held that Mrs. Kincald was entitled to retain possession of the earfings and the coat she must return the' “oths Jjewels demanded.

James Cook, who is wanted In Santa Rosa for passing a forged check for $17, attempted to pass a similar check on the Wiley B. Allen Company of this city yesterday, but the forgery was such a poor one that it was immediately detected. Employes of the firm held the forger until the arrival of Detec- tive Sergeants Ryan and O'Dea. Cook will be held at the City Prison until the arrival of a deputy sheriff from Santa Rosa. “I had to get money to gamble,” is the explanation sullenly offered by Cook. “I have people in Cincinnati who will help me out of this. Yes, I knew that I stood a good chance of being caught if I tried that game here, but I had to have the coin to gamble. Cook was employed as.a furniture polisher at Santa Rosa. He has a young wife there, who is now in strait- ened circumstances as a result of his inordinate passion for gambling. SANTA ROSA, Jan. 16.—Charles Cook was an employe of the Wiley B. Allen branch in this city and is wanted for forging and passing no less than half a dozen checks here Sunday and Mon- day before he left. George E. linileli. manager of the store here, claims ‘that Cook forced his desk open on Sunday, stole the check book and then filled the checks out in various sums from $12 to $20, distributing them freely. Six forged checks have been recovered, rep- resenting a total of $125. Cook had been working here about three months and resided with his wife’s parent: —_—————— CORONER’S JURY RECOMMENDS FLAGMAN AT CAR CROSSING TUnited Rallroads Told It Should Take Precautions to Prevent Collisions at McAllister and Fillmore Streets. , A Coroner’s jury yesterday“held the United Rallroads responsible for the death of Gustave Fritz, who was one of the dozen Or more passengers in- jured by a collision between a McAl- lister-street cable car and a Fillmore- street electric car on Sunday evening, December 17.

A SMYTH | LANGFORD JAMES WINS AT 40 TO 1 Bookxfiaker]oe Rose Makes Quite a “Killing.” Blumenthal Beaten in a Drive by Jake Ward. BY FRED E. MULHOLLAND, Langford James, which has been playing hide and seek since his arrival here in Billy Cotton's horsecar, came out of seclusion long enough to tow- rope a heterogeneous mixture of plat- ers in the fifth selection on the pro- gramme yesterday at Oakland. Forty to one a few of the books laid about the brown gelding, and Teddy Robinson had the gay decelver in tho lead from start to finish. Birdie P, the .even money favorite, tramped along through the slush for a spell with.the outsider, then, growing leg weary, lost the place to Dusty Miller. : First choices managed to hold thelrl own, capturing three races. Like: Langford James, two other unexpected | arrivals were \Jake Ward and Grass- cutter. CONDITIONS SCARE OWNERS, Under the conditions of the opening Futurity courge sprint all those fin- Ishing behind the first three were to be relegated to the scrap pile for the balance of the season. Scared out by the presence of Blumenthal, Jake Ward and Smithy Kane, half a dozen of the frowsy ones were scratched. Blumen- thal, the mount of Radtke, was played down to 7 to 10 favoritism. Jake Ward, an 8 to 1 shot, beat the short- priced one half a length. Creedmore, a 25 to 1 chance, was third. Lloyd Fountain landed the six- furlong number for maiden three-year- old fillies with Santa Ray. The Clif- ford _entry ruled favorite and won easily from Lovey Mary and Niota. Fountain also rode Tam O'Shanter, which buckjumped home first for the six furlong selling fixture following. The Kingston gelding had a decided call in the betting, and won laughing, six wide open lengths before Dr. She man and Rocklands, two outsiders. My Order cashed in after an abbrevi- ated display of early speed. FULLETTA IS MADE FAVORITE, After being scratched on several former occasions, Fulletta, the Tich- enor colt, finally faced the barrier in the fourth and was enthroned favor- ite. Knapp, who had the mount, got all the worst of the send off, and never showed prominently. Goodchild slid away in front with the 11 to 1 shot, Grasscutter, winning comfortably from Abe Meyer and Prominence. Kizil, the mount of Radtke, found the com- pany a trifle too exclusive. Ed Sheridan, an 8 to $ choice, took the final mile selling event In double- quick time, leading from the start. Jackfull ran second, four lengths be- fore Chief Bush. 3 NOTES OF THE TRACK. Lloyd T'ountain had a slight “shade™ on the other riders when it came to saddle work, the Idaho boy piloting two winners. Another renegade race will have a place in the programme book for next week, the conditions for which will be more binding. Winners at the meet- ing will be excluded and scratching will not be permitted. Jones & Co. lost Tam O'Shanter. Char- ley McCatferty hiked the entered sell- ing price of the gelding from $100 to $900 and secured him. Jack Brannon shipped Bell Reed, Misty's Pride, Peter J and the balance of his string to Los Angeles yesterday. While not as sensational as Riley Grannan, perhaps, Joe Rose, the book- maker, bets as much money at times as did the young Kentucky plunger, and few are aware of the fact. Last Saturday night when he figured up Joe was between $35,000 and $36,000 to the bad on the season out here. Yester- day the big California layer bet on Jake Ward, Tam O'Shanter and Grass- cutter, among other horses, and, by favoring them in his book besides, cleaned up £12,600. 'This is probably the largest individual winning made at either Oakland or Ingleside in one day since the inception of the present meet- ing. | | ———————— JUDGE COOK WILL APPEAR AS PROSECUTOR IN CASE Albert Dougherty Arrested om Charge of Grand Larceny for Stealing Valuable Dog. Judge Carroll Cook will appear in the Police Court this morning in the role of prosecutor. The defendant will be Albert Dougherty, 18 years of age, who is charged with grand larceny on com- plaint of the Judge. Dougherty was arrested on Saturday by Policeman P. Coughran. He was suspected of steal- ing valuable dogs and holding them out for a reward. Judge Cook had a setter dog, valued at $250. It was stolen from him in the beginning of December. He notified the police and Detective Ed Gibson was detailéed on the case and recovered the dog. The description of the youth seen stealing the dog answered that” of Dougherty and yesterday morning the Judge brought two witnesses to the prison, who at once identified Dough- erty as the thief. The Judge says that a friend’s valu- able dog was stolen recently by a youth, who went to the friend and asked for a reward for the return of the canine. The friend refused and the youth left, threatening to get even. The dog was poisoned. The Judge says his friend will have a look at Dougherty yto-day and if he is the thief who polsoned the dog another charge will be booked against him. S G Vogel Pleads Guilty. Marc Vogel pleaded gulilty in Judge Cook’s court yesterday to a charge of grand larceny. He will be sentenced on January 19. Vogel snatched a purse containing $320 from Mrs. Mary Shad- dick on November 10. Vogel came here from New York about a year ago with excellent recommendations. He secured a position In one of the large depart- ment stores, but after some nths was found stealing articles from the store and was discharged. He had been engaged to marry a young woman, who broke off the engagement after Vogel’ discharge. ] DEGGNT Art Lectures at Lyrie Hall.
