SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 17.—The Shenandoah was sighted off Fort Ross, 70 miles from here, proceeding slowly northward, shortly after 9 o'clock a.m. today according to radio flashes here. Naval radio reported that the giant dirigible was making speed of about 24 miles an hour. BOARD THE U. S. S. SHENDAH, Oct. 17.—(By wireless international News Service)—Even the glow of the sleeping city of San Francisco could be seen thru the thick blanket of fog when the dirigible Shenandoah sailed slowly past Farallone Night, thirty miles out from the Golden Gate at 6:15 a.m. today. Lieut. Reginald Houghton, who was on the bridge, awakened Lieut. Commander Lansdowne and Rear Admiral Moffett, who were both asleep along the keel above, and it was decided that on account of the poor visibility the ship's course should not be diverted to visit the city. Telegrams of regret were sent to Mayor Jas. Rolph Jr., and to naval officers who were in San Francisco awaiting the opportunity of seeing the big airship. Point Reyes, just north of the Golden Gate stood clear in the breaking sunlight when it was passed at 7 a.m. The course was laid northwest to Point Arenas, and the ship was riding smoothly but at a speed of only 24 miles an hour on account of strong head winds. SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 17.—Like ships that pass in the night the giant rigid dirigible Shenandoah which successfully made the first transcontinental flight for that type of airship sailed by San Francisco early today from San Diego and headed for Camp Lewis, Wash., her far western terminus. A message received at Twelfth Naval District headquarters by wireless from the ship signed by Commander Zachary Lansdowne revealed the airship had passed near the city at 4 a.m. this morning. At 6:10 she was reported passing northward over the Farralone islands. "Passed San Francisco at 4 a.m., regret steady headwinds prevented the Shenandoah visiting San Francisco yesterday before sunset. Will come to San Francisco on return to San Diego." This message addressed to Mayor James Rolph and the commander of the Twelfth Naval District was received at 6:06. The Shenandoah passed Point Reyes, 25 miles north of Golden Gate at 6:35 apparently making good time. This report came from the Radio Corp. Station at Marshalls slightly inland. The station with an altitude per meter cost of fuel per hour is $104.50. Wages per 24 hrs. $30.00 Supplies and Repairs $3.00 Water, at cost of pumping $3.00 Daily charges on bonds, depreciation and sinking fund $53.00 General $2.00 Total daily cost $195.00 Cost per KWH .011 PRESENT EDISON CONTRACT From May 1, 1923, to April 30, 1924, the City of Auction paid the Edison Co. $37,374.21 for 3,298,800 KWh electric energy, which is at the rate of $0.0113 per KWh; this must be added the cost to place this current on the switch board, including operators' wages, interest and depreciation present building and equipment and general supervision, as follows: Wages $21.50 Interest and depreciation $3.50 General $.50 Daily fixed charges $25.50 Using the same load as shown for the proposed plan this amounts to $0.00152, giving a total cost of present Edison current of $.01282 per KWh. The difference between $0.01282 Edison price to the C and $0.01164 the price at which it could be produced by city is $0.00118. From May 1, 1923, to April 30, 1924, there was summed in the City of Anaheim 3,298,800 KWh. This must be applied by $0.00118, the saving in cost, amounts to $3,892.5 a direct saving. The 16% Thermal efficiency was determined after checking up with plants in this vicinity, with government ports and other available authorities. The 35% load factor is the output relative to the city of the plant, and is a recognized standard. Oil for fuel can be purchased, on an average, cheaper than at the figures given; gas can also be used at a savings man, for superintendent. This number of men is sufficient operate a plant of this size. The cost of supplies, repairs and water was arrived by actual conditions. The charge for retirement of bonds, interest and depreciation was determined in the following manner: Interest was figured at the rate of 5%, taking for ample our last bonds, upon which the city received a premium of over 3%. Depreciation was determined by reports of commission appointed by eastern cities, to determine depreciation in various public utilities. The sinking fund, allowed by this amount, would provide replacements during the life of the bonds. In compiling the statement of the Edison Co. rates, brye used the same methods and care as in preparing our own. As you are aware of the balance of the conditions this vicinity, a more lengthy discussion is not necessary—pectfully submitted, J. W. PRICE, City Manager. "Passed San Francisco at 4 a.m., regret steady headwinds prevented the Shenandoah visiting San Francisco yesterday before sunset. Will come to San Francisco on return to San Diego." This message addressed Mayor James Rolph and the commandant of the Twelfth Naval District was received at 6:06. The Shenandoah passed Point Reyes, 25 miles north of Golden Gate at 6:35 apparently making good time. This report came from the Radio Corp. Station at Marshall slightly inland. The station reported hearing the motors of the dirigible but could not see her on account of a heavy fog. Thousands of disappointed sightseers watched the skies before news spread that the airship had gone on her way north without visiting this city. Slowed down at times almost to a stop and making from 25 to 30 miles an hour for the most part, the Shenandoah was buffetted all the way north by strong winds. At times the winds threatened to force the dirigible to sea but thru-out yesterday afternoon and last night she maintained her course up the coast from San Diego. As the night wore on the winds diminished and her speed picked up, She was about ten hours behind her schedule. ENTERTAIN WIVES Lions' club members entertained their wives with a banquet last night at the Elks' club, a general good time being reported. Singers from the California theatre have special numbers and put on one "stunts," and the Lions himself gave the remainder of the program.

Orange-co valencias set another new season's top price yesterday on the New York auction market—$9.95 or 45 cents above the best previous mark, also established this week. Seven lots sold at $.00 to $9.00, 13 lots at $7.00 to $.00 and 23 lots at $6.00 to $7.00. Only 28 out of 72 lots brought less than $6.00 a box.

Five masked boys today escaped with probably $80,000 in cash and bonds from the State Bank of Springfoot, Mich., a Jackson suburb. Eight persons, including a girl and a seven-year-old boy, were locked in a vault after the robbers had knocked unconscious two men who attempted to run from the bank to sound an alarm. The seven-year-old boy, crying and weeping at the threats of the bandits to end his life, eventually gave the alarm to members of the state police because he was enabled thru his slender size to escape thru the bars of the vault.

One of the robbers held his hand over the lad's mouth and carried him next to the unconscious businessmen. Everybody else in the bank held up their hands and marched where the robbers commanded. After the vault door had been locked, the bandits scooped up every bond and cash box into a large bag and fled. According to Allen Crawford, bank president, the five bandits got $5000 in cash, $60,000 worth of negotiable bonds, and $55,000 in Liberty bonds. Jackson authorities announced that a tip to that office late today led them to believe that a gang of Toledo gunmen committed the robbery. FIRST NAT'L BANK HAS TRUST DEPT.

Fair tonight and Saturday with moderate temperature 27th YEAR—No. 27 VOTE FOR THE BONDS Anaheim voters tomorrow will have an opportunity to determine if they want to bring here a $240,000 industry, one in which every man, woman and child is a stockholder. The profits are assured from the start, based on the experience of 2000 other cities in the United States operating municipal light and power plants. And the most desirable feature is the fact that other industries will follow by reason of the low power rates that will result with municipal competition for the Edison company. There are no reasons why the $240,000 municipal bond issue should not be approved tomorrow by every citizen who wants to see Anaheim forget its bickering and go ahead once more. There is every good business reason why Anaheim should own its electric plant the same as it owns its electric distributing system, water plant and distributing system, sewer system, streets, schools, fire department, etc. With the great strides made recently in the manufacture and use of electricity, that commodity is now as essential to our comfort and progress as water. Los Angeles recently voted millions of municipal power bonds by a majority of eight to one. Riverside, Pasadena, and many other California cities are demonstrating the many advantages, including that of economy, from municipal power plants. Why shouldn't a municipal plant be an economy? A city can borrow money for less than five percent, while the Edison company must pay eight. The city does not have to pay taxes; Edison does. The city does not require duplicate systems. The Edison does that company manufacturing from steam 85 percent, of the juice now going into its lines because hydro-electric plants are useless on account of low water shortage.

Furthermore, the city cannot make a binding contract with the Edison, the railroad commission reserving at all times the right to fix a rate that will give the Edison a return of eight percent, on duplicate systems, etc. Now is the time for Anaheim to build its municipal power plant, when bonds are commanding a high premium and labor and material prices are at a minimum. Go to the polls tomorrow and vote for the power bonds. Don't let a few agitators and political die-hards lead you to defeat this big improvement. You have seen how their agitation and bickering have paralyzed business. Do your own thinking and be a booster, not a knocker. EXPERTS SAY KID MCCOY SANE NOW LOS ANGELES, Oct. 17.—Kid McCoy, former pugilist, scheduled to be tried here Dec. 8 on a charge of murder, was declared sane in a report submitted to the district attorney's office today by two psychiatrists who had been called in to examine him.

"They treat me very nicely here."

Ceill Jacks, 59; on a statutory charge involving a 15-year-old Anhelm girl created no little comment today in circles that frequented the "hot dog" stand where music emanated at all hours of the day and night. Jacks, or "Dinty Moore," was arrested late yesterday. The girl, pretty and unusually well-dressed, was understood to have informed authorities she was employed as a waitress at the shop, along with eight other girls. She had worked there but two days before untoward advances were made toward her; she was reported to have alleged, these culminating in the More Money Placed In This Campaign Than Any Before NEW YORK, Oct. 17.—Wall Street reported today that there was more betting on the presidential race this year than ever before, with more money coming from the west than in any previous election. Commission brokers predicted that wagers would reach $50,000,000 by election day the odds on Pres. Coolidge re-election have jumped to 3½ to 1, compared to 3 to 1 a week ago, they said.

Fried and Co., quote 2 to 1 that Coolidge's popular vote will be as much as Davis and La Follette combined. This house also offers 1 to 3 that La Follette will get more than Coolidge and Davis combined in North Dakota, South Dakota, and Wisconsin. They report 10 to 7 that if the election goes to congress, Gov. Chas. Bryan will be elected. This firm offers even money that three states cannot be named that La Follette will carry; 25 to 1 that Bryan will not be the next president; and even money Davis will not carry ten assembly districts in all New York State's 160 assembly districts. W. L. Darnell and Co., reported plenty of money at 1 to 2½ of the following lineup of the candidates: Coolidge, first; La Follette, second and Davis third in greater New York. They quote $10,000 even money offered that Coolidge wins in New York state by 500,-000. They will lay $5,000 even money that La Follette fails to get 60 electoral votes or Davis will not get 195 electoral votes. Plenty of wagers have been placed at 3½ to 1 that the election will not go into congress. There is abundant western money offered on the following: That La Follette will get more popular votes than Davis in the entire country (1 to 3); in New York state (1 to 2½); in New York City (1 to 2). Even money is also offered that La Follette will get 5,000,000 votes in the United States.

CLAIMS MUCH BOOZE COMES TO HARBOR LOS ANGELES, Oct. 17.—Circulation of rumors indicating laxness has resulted in flagrant non-enforcement of the prohibition laws at Los Angeles harbor was believed to be the cause of the resignation of Captain Robert L. Martin of the harbor customs guard and Jerry Goodwin, his chief assistant. Martin left "on vacation" a week ago and harbor shipping circles were startled to learn today that he had tendered his resignation, along with that of Goodwin, to Louis Schwebe, collector in charge of So. Cal. district. Rumors have been flying about for several weeks stating that huge amounts of liquor were being removed from ships in the (the Republic's) sporting editor.
