Good Incomes Are Earned by Finding
Lost Articles in Shops.
Few women shoppers in their rush
for bargains stop to think of the num-
Der of things that are lost by that
great army of bargain hunters every
day. Pushing and pulling at each other
rs they do in their attempts to get near
some special bargain, the unnoticed
dropping of n handkerchief, pocket
book or fan is common occurrence, &C
cording to the New York World.
The manager of big store on Sixth
avenue says there is a regular company
of women who do nothing else but pa
troll the stores on the lookout for arti-
cles and money lost by shoppers.
Most of these women, he says. are
well known to the floor-wall5crs and de-
tectivcs, but as they break no laws and
occasionally make small purchases they
arc not molested
AT six O'Clock each night, according
to his story, or when they meet at their
office" and make general division of
their spoils, to the unique band it is no
uncommon thing to divide one hundred
dollars worth of goods as the proceeds
OF days persistent search.
OF course they closely examine the
personal columns of the papers, and if
large enough reward is offered the
persons who lose things stand pretty
good chance Of having them returned.

WHERE WAS THE MONEY KEPT2
THE HART INVESTIGATING COM
MITTEE'S REPORT.
The Attorney-GeneraI Failed to Satisfy
the Committee-Severe Structures
on Layson.

Late yesterday afternoon the special
committee appointed to inquire into the
official conduct and acts of w. II. II. Hart,
Attorney-General, submitted report
through its Chairman. Mr.. Mathews, of
Tehama. The report was submitted just
few minutes before the evening recess
and no action was taken on it.
The report reviews the circumstances
and gives the dates of the committees
meetings in this city and San Francisco,
and submits the following findings;
"W. II. II. Hart by virtue of his posi-
| ton as Attorney-General, and in that ca
pacty received in settlement of certain
suits brought by the State of California
against certain Harbor Commissioners in
the following named cases, the following
named sums of money:
a. In the case of People VS.. Phillips, it
appears from a stipulation on file that
there was paid to him on July %, 1891,
S7,725 81. a portion of this money was
paid by checks drawn by Calm, Nickels-
burg IL Co., one dated July D, 1891, and
the other dated July 25, 1891. Both are
iudorsed by W. II. II. Hart and are
marked paid August ), 1891. The COM
plant of w. II. ii. Hart, filed in the Su-
perior Court of San Francisco, states that
the total sum was received August 30
| 1891. 1t appears by the testimony that
the sum OF IS, ,S62 81 was received by cash
| ing certified checks, on August ., 1891,
and that all of it was paid at least as early
as August 30, 1881.
49,. In the case of People VS.. knight,
certificate of deposit on the Peoples
| Home Savings Bank was delivered to w.
| II. ii. Hart for s., ,40I 36 on October "a,
| 1892. This certificate was indorsed by
| w. II. II. Hart and mark ed paid NoVem-
! Der II, 1892. He admits the receipt of the
money as of date of October p, 1892
80. In the case Of People Us. Blauding,
a stipulation is on file, dated August l.
1891, stating that a sum of money had
| been paid by certain defendants, but
without specifying the sum. 1t appears,
however, from the testimony of r. |.
Bergin, that he delivered certificates of
deposit for this sum to w. II. II. Hart IN
July, 1891, and we find by calculation
that this sum was So, ,60l 56. The balance,
81, ,l30, was paid TO him November %.
1892, by a certified check, marked paid
December Il, 1892.
A"The committee examined the deputies
Of the Attorney General and his steno-
grapher, but none of them knew, except
i'll general way, that this money had
| been paid, and some of them did not
know that it had been paid at all. None
of them could give any information
where it was kept. There is no safe in
the Office of the Attorney General, at
either Sacramento or San Francisco,
where the same could be kept. But there
seems to be safe in the Office formerly
occupied by him at No. go Montgomery
street, san Francisco, now occupied by
Nowlin IL Fassett. To what extent Mr..
Hart still retains this Office is not clearly
shown.

ent system of trial by juries, not only
danger of justice being perverted, but of
mob violence. The escape of so many
red-handed murderers by hung juries
was what caused the people to rise
against the courts and resort to mob vio-
lence. He favored the amendment.
Senator Wilson did not want the pres
ent law interfered with. He thought it
was not because the jurors were corrupt
that guilty men sometimes escaped, but
because their sense of justice was per-
verted by the arguments OF slick" law
yers.
Senator Goucher opposed the adoption
Of the amendment. He thought preju-
dice and passion should be eliminated
from the discussion and the question
looked at from every side.
Senator Ostrom thought the wisdom
the people should be recognized at the
polls, and that they were seldom wrong
in their judgment. He spoke of the
Palmer case in this city as being an al
legged instance where justice had miscar-
ried.
Senator Goueher at once took issue
with the Senator, who, he said, had made
the strongest possible argument against
the adoption of the amendmenG by refer
ring to the Palmer case. He declared
that when the people of any section be-
came imbued with the idea that justice
had been perverted in some particular
case, nothing was more natural than that
they should demand a change in the laws
to fit their case, which they would not do
after sober reflection ON the proposition.
Senator Carpenter said that God had
given life to man, and in so doing He
never intended that it should be leopard
lied by coming into contact with mob
law, and asked that the amendment be
rejected.
Senator VOORHEES, claimed that the pres
ent system of trial by jury was the father
of mob law, and that mobs were organ
lied and criminals lynched for the simple
reason that the people could place no de-
pendence upon the iuries who sat upon
the cases.
At this point in the proceedings, the
noon hour having arrived, the Presidents
gavel fell and recess was taken.
