Report on the Alleged Frauds or
the Recent Election.
DAN NANClStO, IhdTCu %.
Tie Chairman of the Finance Com
mittee of the Board of Supervisors to-
day made "A report to- the Board of the
investigation by the committee into
the alleged frauds at the recent general
election in this city. The inquiry in
volved a thorough canvass of all those
votes cast on certificates of registra-
tration. numbering 1870. The result

to vote IN account of non-residence,
under age, ETC.. 2.722; names for which
there are no aifidavits for certificates,
20; double voters, rs; persons voting
on Cancelled names, 379; names on
poll lists not appearing on ward regis
ters, $50; total, 1905. The report
claims that the above proportion
would hold good had inquiry been
carried into the remainder of the ci y
vote, and argues that there must have
been a total fraudulent vote of S,l05;
enough, had they been mostly from
either n of the political parties, to
have carried the electoral vote of the
State. The report fails to indicate the
probable political complexion of the
fraudulent votes, except by vague inn
pllcation. 1t eXonerates the County
Clerk and Assessor from any conni-
vance in the frauds, but finds that the
business of registration was conducted
in a loose manner, and recommends a
number of reforms in the registration
law, holding that the present law, in
stead OF a check, is an absolute assist
ance to fraud. The report is signed by
a ma jority of the committee.
TIe Forgery Ease of the oyster Can.
ming Company.
SAN Francisco, March 5.
1t now appears that in the case of
Blackjack, the a~bsconding President
of the Oyster Canning Company. the
forgeries referred to were perpetrated
by James Kellogg, bookkeeper for
Carolau, Cory IL Co., an old and re-
spec.ed resident of some so years ofage,
who has for the last 25 years filled po-
sitions of trust in this city in banking
and other houses. He was arrested
this morning. He states hat he was
induced by Blackjack to commit the
forgeries by representations of Black
lock that he would return the checks
directly, only wishing to make a show
of them. When, however, he Oh
tanned possession of them, he used
them to purchase certain stock on
which be realized previous TO his alb
sconding. Events render it probable
that the Oyster Canning Company is
rather a mythical institution, Black
lock being the mead and front of the
whole concern, though a number Of
prominent citizens hold some stock
in it.
