VETERANS WOES
Still Probing the Royce
PeCulationS.
Attorney Jordan's Two Retainers.
A Chinaman to Be Deported."
The Grand Jury.

At meeting of the directors of the
Veterans Home Association last evening
some alarm was manifested at the discov-
cry that Chinaman was employed at
YountyiIle contrary to law. 1t was decided
to "deport" him.
Mostly routine business was transacted.
Among other matters thar came up was a
communication to the effect that the board
of managers of the National Home for
Disabled Volunteer Soldiers were on their
way from New York on tour around the
various Veteran SuldlerS' homes, and ex-
pected TO reach San Francisco by the 31St
inst. 1t was ordered that the president,
the building and grounds Committee. and
as many directors as possible should meet
the visitors and escort them to the home at
Yountv!lle.
The Royce matter did not come up till
just before the adjournment. The Attor-
ney-General said that, to his knowledge.
Royce had not paid money on account of
fees 10 the Steen suit, as his client, Hem
dy, had furnished upward of $4,000 up
to the present time. His suggestion was
adopted that another attempt should be
made to find out the persons to whom
Royce had paid the money.
Attorney Jordan, who holds a $3.50 re-
tanner from the board in this matter, has
also taken Royce's place as Stems attor-
ney, and this caused much adverse COM
ment. Finally it was decided to summon
Jordan to attend the next meeting. so as
to ascertain what his line of conduct was
to be.
The Grand Jury has been somewhat Sc
verely commented upor by reason of their
not having formally indicted Royce, and
are very much annoyed thereat
why the whole thing is utter nom
sense" said grand juror yesterday.
What have we to indict him on as yet?
The Veterans Home directors came be-
fore us and made certain charges against
their former treasurer. Well. we listened
to these charges, and we told the directors
that if they would only make some specific
charge for some specified amOuntw we would
consider the question of lndlcting Royce.
They promised to do so, but have not as
yet. So what can we do? The books show
one certain deficit, while the expert places
it at another sum. Therefore, IL we were
to charge Royce with embeZZling certain
sum without knowing that that sum was
exactly correct the case would be thrown
out of court. If any one is to blame ii is
the directors themselves"
