Where are they?
Can you tell right at this moment where to find your
bonds, stock certificates, insurance policies and other valu
able papers, often needed in a hurry? Perhaps they are
in your desk drawer—or they may be in your office safe
—or possibly lying carelessly around the house.
If your valuable papers are in any of these places there
is a risk of loss as well as uncertainty of quickly finding
them when needed. But if they are in one of our safety
deposit boxes you are aways certain of their location.
They are accessible to you instantly, and to you alone and
they are safe from fire, theft and carelessness.

WASHINGTON ACE AND !>ART
NER FAIL GET BACKING
DEAL IS OFF.
OAKLAND, Cal., Dec. 11.—
Plans of Walter Johnson, pitch
ing ace of the Washington Am
erican league baseball club, and
George M. Weiss, owner of the
New Haven club of the Eastern
league, to purchase the Oakland
Coast league club have been re
cently abandoned, it was announc
ed here last night.
Johnson and Weiss failed to make
j their second payment of $25,000 on
! the club, which was due today, and
the deal was called off. They paid
; $5,000 as an initial payment Jast Mon
day, but stockholders of the Oak
land club last night voted to return
; this sum to Johnson and Weiss.
The two eastern baseball men,
; who were to have paid a total of
| $350,000 for the Oakland club, inti
mated that men upon whom they
; had counted for backing had failed
i to support them and they were un
j able to finance the deal.
Johnson and Weiss had been so
j sure of the success of their plans,!
| however, that they had made plan's
I for rebuilding the local park and for:
i obtaining players from major league
; clubs.
Johnson left last night for his
; home in Reno, Nev., it was learned
I today, and Weiss, who is still here,
expects to leave for his home in
New Haven within a day or two.
Almost as soon as the failure of
the deal was announced, speculation
i was beg-un in local baseball circles
| as to Johnson’s future. Joe Engle, *
scout for the Washington club, is at
Johnson’s home in Reno on a hunt
ing trip and it is reported that he
has been authorized to offer Johnson
a three-year contract with a total
compensation of $90,000.
It also is reported that there is a !
movement on foot in St. Paul to col-!
lect a fund by popular ‘ subscription!
with which to purchase the control- j
ling interest in the St. Paul Ameri-;
can association club and present it
to Johnson.
Another report is that efforts are
being, made by Los Angeles inter
ests to have Johnson take control of
the Vernon Coast league club.

POLICEMAN DENIES HE
WAS SHOT AND KILLED
WHEELING, W. Va., Dec. 11.—The 1
characteristic remark of the immor
tal Mark Twain that the report of
his death was “greatly exaggerated”
was echoed here today by Patrol
man Harry Rice.
A Pittsburg newspaper published
an account of Rice’s death, but the
“victim” refused to believe it when
he read the article.
Rice recently was shot and wound
ed by Dave Corbett, of Washington,
D. C., who was sentenced to seven
years ’imprisonment in the State pen
itentiary for the crime. In publish
ing the story, the Pittsburg newspa
per stated Rice has been “killed.”
Rice was swamped today with con
gratulations for his remarkable re
covery by friends who had read of
his “demise.”

T'WO DROP DEAD WHEN
STRANGE TO NATIVES OF
SOUTH SEA ISLAND GROUP
BERKELEY, Calif., Dec. 11.—
Dr. William B. Herms, professor
of parasitology at the University of
California, returned recently from
the South Seas with the description
of natives on the Fanning group of
islands who were shown their first
mirrors when his party arrived.
When photographs of them were tak
en, he explained, they often failed
to recognize themselves. Their own
countenances apparently were very
strange to them.
He found these natives fond of
edornment and very primative in
their habits. They were friendly.
Dr. Herms said there was evidence
that the islands had been occupied
in ancient times by Polynesians.
There were indications, too, that
strains of the Malay and the Amer
ican Indian apparently had been con
tributed to the native race. He saw
no point of contact with the African
negroes, however.
Usually it is safe to maintain your
right of way if the fellow coming
has a shiny new car.
Brides should not cry when their
husbands fall ill from their cooking*
A husband or two does not amount to
much.
