A check on tho San Francisco Xa

There were also two telegrams. One

mence action for blackmail. "
The other telegram was from the Hen

city, it was said today that John IJad

substantial shipbuilder of Eureka, Cal.,

HANNA COADJUTER
TO THE ARCHBISHOP
KOMK, June ,1". It was learned that
the congregation of the propaganda has
been cabling to Snn Francisco making
inquiries as to the antecedents and gen
eral reputation of Dr. llanaa. This is
taken to mean that the holy father
has agreed to set aside the charges of
modernism against Dr. Hnnna and that
he will shortly be appointed coadjutor
to Monsignor Hiordnn nrebbishop of the
' djoreso of fan Francisco.
Tho announcement some time ago
fiom the Vatican that the cond.jutnrship
of the San Vranvisen diocese would re
main vacant for some time, caused no
little surprise here. The reason given
wns that Pr. Ilanna's friends had been
making too strenuous a campaign for
him and that the pope wns uncertain
concerning the charges of modernism
that had been brought against Dr.
Hnnna.
The Vatican is evidently satisfied on
this latter score and it i" "aid here
that Dr. Hanna's friends have been
quirt for some time.

DETECTIVES
BAFFLED BY
EXPLOSION
Fifth Death Occurs From
San Francisco Outrage
Blew Up Wrong Man's
House.
SAN KUANCISUO, Cal., June :so.
Detectives nad police are baffled in
their efforts to explain the explosion
which destroyed two buildings and cost
the lives of five porsons yesterday and,
though they are unable to substantiate
it, thory still cling to I ho accident the
ory. Special agents- of I hog raft prosecu
tion are investigating the statement of
.Mrs. Strenime, who lives near the scene
of the explosion, and who says she saw
man miming away from tho place
after tho explosion. Mho guvo thejiinder the influence of liquor, engaged
sleuths n detailed description of the riu battle with Chief of Police Barclay
man, and many other clues. Thev are fand his force of three men. The chief
ngaged in vigorous efforts that may
lead to an arrest today.
Fred Sweeney, son of Johu Kwoenev.
owner or the destroyed grocery store,
who was killed, positively denied today
that there was any gasoline in the Htorn,
and tho police, who s?ek to prove this
theory, are endeavoiring to show that
tho gasoline was illegally kept for sale
lo automobiles.
The belief that the explosion was
the work of dynamiters, however, is
strongest among those who have aeeu
the ruins. Investigation showed that
Thomas J. (iallagher, to whom the build
ing was leased, is a half brother of
.Samuel I,. Johnson, who conducted a
saloon on the site which was destroyed.
He is mi relation of the Thomas J. Qnh I
lagher who is I he brother of former'
Supervisor "Big Jim" Gallagher, who
has bee a t li e oh jec t of repeat ed dy
namiting ontrag s. Members of the graft
prosecution believe, uoverthelOMH, that
the thugs who blew up " Big Jim's'
property were misled by the names be
ing identical. Having found all of fial
lnghcr'n property carefully guarded, it
is believed, they went over the records
in the recorder's office and hit upon
the property as an opportunity for a
new attack. Ttic ruthless criminalitv
that would lead lo such ruthless sacri
fice of persons in no way connected
with the objects of their diabolical
plots has magnified the necessity of
running down Hie dynamiters in the
new of the graft prosecution.
The fifth death was added to the list
at midnight, when Mrs. May Disscniey
ere succumbed to the injuries she sus
tained. Fred Kweeuev who is bndlv
hurt, has been reported to be doing
well at the hospital today

VHKIvA, C.'al., Juno -11. A genuine
ease of "frenzied finance" has devel
oped in this county. A man giving his
name as Charles (!. Harrington called
on A. L. Itanium, a rancher at Sheep
liock, which is about twenty miles from
hero, and informed him that he was a
rancher from the vicinity of Callahan;
that he had purchased a large ranch
over there, and wa about to start a

tains about'HlKJ acres, for $12,000. When
riurnum hail signed the agreement. Har

County iiaak for the full amount of
lL',(lfii), and gave it. to Harniim. This
was oa the Slid. Oa the following day
they were to come to town nad have
Ihe deeds drawn up and close the deal.
When about ready to start for this
dace, Hum inn's brother ie law told Har
rington he had bet'er stay there and
look at some cattle which Harrington
wanted tn buy or trade for, which he
did.
In the meantime itarmiui came to

Grand Maneuvers of Mika

Same Time Americans
Are at Manila
TuKlO, June ;t0. It was announced
today that the grand naval maneuvers
will begin October lo and continue
uutil the emperor s general review of
the lleet in the latter part of November.
SAX FRANCISCO, Cal., June 30.
Tho announcement of tho grand naval
maneuvers of tho Japanese, fleet was
received with marked interest when
transmitted to o ulcers of the American
fleet in the harbor here.
Tho American ships aro due, accord
ing to tho schedule, to arrive at Yoko
hama on October 17.
The net result is that the navies of
I America and Japan will bo in active
trim, ready for a "frolic" at the same
time in the waters of Japan.
The American fleet will be at battle
practice in Manila Bay nt tho time of
the general review by the emperor,
when tho whole Japanese navy is ex
pected to be mobilized nt Yokohama.
Most positive denials are made that
them is anything extraordinary in the
announcement of Japan's naval plans,
it is said that the review' and maneu
vers are regular set performances, and
it. is ex fiected that it is only natural
I hat the Japanese should want their
hips to be in fine trim and make a j
good sliowing when the Americans visit

TWO MILLION FRY
IN SISSON HATCHERY
SISSON, Cal., June 20 In the state
fish hatchery at this place there are I
now over o,nno,0ni baby llsh or " trout I
fry," from one to two months of age.
They require forty hutching troughs 1
for their accommodation, there being I
,000 "babies" in each trough.
There are llio.OliiJ grown or growing
trout ia the hatchery, including the j
rainbow, steelhead, Eastern brook, Loch ;
Levin, dollv varden, flerman brown and
grayling. The last is a very ilillicult j
llsh to propagate nrtinciully. Of all j
these varieties the raiabow is the favor-
He throughout the worm, both ns a
table llsh and one that gives the angler i
satisfaction iu boing gamy.
As is well known, fish are distrib-
uted all over the world from the Sisson
hatchery, through government agencies.
Several shipments have been made to
New Zealand, Germany, Kngland undinn, ,., ff t. w.ltcr supply. When
Australia, and even lo Central and
Soul n Africa.
The first purpose of the hatchery is.!."..,..,,,.., ji TK, kilchen of tho place,
however, to keep the streams of Call- '
tornia well stocked, replenishing those;
streams that have become depleted by '
onstant Ashing or other causes. The:
hatchery supplies the fish to earnest np-
plicants who will properly receive th r
try and distribute them to suits ble ,
waters. '
What is needed most alter Ihe slo.k-
ing of stream is that the yliung fish ,
shall have time to establish themselves i
in homes and go to housekeeping, as,
it were, n lanes a r.roui tnree years
to reach a size that they may be law
fullv tuken. Thev ought to lie pro

FINANCIAL
SITUATION i
IMPROVING
Ten Millions Distributed
in San Francisco by Sav
ings and Commercial
Banks to Stockholders.
SAX KKANCI8CO, Cal., June 30.
Ten milliou dollars will be put into
circulation tomorrow, when semi annual
dividends are paid by commercial aud
savings banks aud industrial institu
tions of San Vrancisco. The saving
banks of the city have announced that
they will pay dividends for the half
year muling today on a basis of 4 per
cent per annum, and the average divi
dend of the other corporations will
amount to about the same.
While the money to lie paid out in
dividends will not go iu large amounts
to any few individuals or groups of in
dividuals, most of it will return to the
savings banks and be available for
loanH on real estate.
The time for distribution of dividends
is generally marked by a derided bet
torment of financial conditions, and this
is so to a greater degree at the present
time than usual.
Shortage of monev has caused the
banks to keep their loans within n nar
row margin, and every saving in loans
has been efleeted in order to meet the
dividend payment tomorrow. The mon
ey which has been lying idle will go
into circulation immediately and will
result
giving a strong impetus to
jbuilding, both in downtown and resi
dentinl districts. Property owners, build
ers, business and Inboriag men wilt re
ceive most of tho benefit from the div
idend and will seek better paying in
