A little reflection win show that this is
but the filling of a want. What Is one to
do when going away from the city, per
haps on a very long Journey? One cannot
take the cat, or oats Along because it would
be- a great bother, there would be danger
nf losing the animals and besides, the rail
roads have very annoying rules prohibiting
tabbies from occupying passenger coaches.
The hard-hearted corporations actually ex
pect them to ride In the baggage car. '
Therefore, when going away one needs
merely deliver the family cat to the cat
tery, get a receipt giving full description,
name and pedigree, pay the board which

sight exchange on hand, against $020,000 de
posits. The bank was a state institution
and had been taken In charge by R. M.
Cook, state bank examiner, under direction
of Secretary of State 8wanger. The Com

The directors and stockholders continue
to work on their .plan for reorganising the
National Bank of Commerce and last night
nine directors went to Chicago- to- meet

of the bank, who are said to tppose the
plans of the Kansas City dire 'tors, will
ask that George L. Rd wards, of Bt. Louis
be made permanent receiver. It was stated
yesterday that Comptroller Rldgley was
going to Chicago and it was arranged to
have a conference with him today.
The directors who left Karsas City for

pany. He said he could take rare of half
a million of this if the capital stock of
tha bank is to be increased by $1.00),000, as

J. J. Helm, millionaire brewer, said last
night: -
i"If It Is found advisable to increase tho
capital stock to $2,000,(K, I am sure thai

BAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 10. Walter J.
Bartnett, a director of the Insolvent Cali
fornia Safe Deposit and Trust com
pany, was released yesterday on $76,000
bail, but J. Dal sell Brown was unable to
obtain bonds and spent. another night In the
city prison. David F. Walker, president, of
the suspended bank. Is still In custody
at Santa Barbara. He will be brought to
this city today.
Pending the appointment ot a receiver for
the bank, the bank commissioners have
named Attorney' Charles 8. Cushlng to
act as temporary custodian.
The men responsible for tha collapse of
the California Safe Deposit and Trust com
pany are not to be let off .merely on charges
of embesslement. Assistant District At
torney Francis 3. Heney has agreed to co
operate -with the depositors and will con
duct a full Investigation Into the bank's af
fairs when the next grand Jury is Im
paneled. This will take place before the
end of the month. The Inquiry will Include
an Investigation Into the charges that of
ficer of the bank made false entries, which
made It appear that $-"00,000 had been loaned
to two New York banks, when the money
had never been forwarded; that the officers
received deposits, when they knew tha In
stitution to be insolvent, including ths de
posit of $253,000 from an Ogden bank, and
that the officers made loan In a manner
calculated to deceive In lending nearly
1500,000 for the purposes of ths Carnegie
Brick company, one of;the Institution's In
dustrial companies. ,
Fonr Million Shortage.
All of these constitute statutory offenses
and If proved will not only Involve the men
already under arrest, but others who co
operated with them. - A long statement
setting forth the assets and liabilities of the
company was presented to the stockholders
yesterday. It showed the sum of $9,0.10,000
due to the depositors. A brief examination
of the assets eh owed about $5,000,000 In
property, which Is considered good." In ad
dition to this there are loans and other
assets, which It was thought might bring
In $3,000,000 more. . , This made a total of
$7,000,000 of possible assets against liabili
ties amounting to $,000,000. Other assets
which have been carried on the books of
the company as. good ;were regarded as
practically ' worthless.
The local banking situation yesterday
gave no Indication of having been affected
In the slightest-degree by the Insolvency of
the California Safe, Deposit and Trust com
pany. Business moved along in the normal
way and all those 'desiring money for the
conduct of business on normal lines found
no difficulty In obtaining It. r.
The list of share Holders of the bank Is

Hlnahav Loses riace.
Uncle Joe" Cannon is not satisfied with
Congressman Hlnshaw's position ' on the
ship subsidy and In all probability the con J
gressman rrorn tho Fourth district will
find that the speaker has overlooked him
for reappointment oh the committee of
mcrchaat marine and fisheries. Hlnshaw
has seen the handwriting on the wall, but
he will no doubt be taken care of upon
soms other committee where he may find
more congenial company than ha had In
the last congress on this committee. The
speaker wauls Pollard to take Hlnshaw's
place, and, while he doesn't look upon it
with favor, the NehaWVa congressman may
find himself compelled to accept the placo,
although he Is making .a determined effort
to ' get on the committee of agriculture.
There are, however, half a hundred appli
cants for the vacant '.plaoes on agrloulture

are twenty applicants for the vacant

Judge Smith and several attorneys went
out to Oacoma this afternoon to hold the
regular term of circuit court for Lyman
county, and it is expected that the torm
will lust several weeks, owing to the large
calendar through which the court will have
to work. There are over sixty cases on
the docket that will have to be heard, and
the greater proportion of them are of a
criminal nature. Buffalo George and his
three companions, who were to be tried on
the charge of horse stealing, will be tried
before the federal court at Bloux Falla next
Airll. as they were arrested for a more
serious offense, and when their hearing
was held before United States District
Commissioner Tldrick St Chamberlain, they
were bound over to the federal court, where
In all probability they will receive a more
severe sentence than they would In the
circuit court, Inasmuch as the crime was
greater.
