That Government was somewhat dilatOry
in taking action and deferred the matter
until some time after Congress had passed
the same act. Recently, however, the
necessary legal steps were taken. but We
were compelled to await the reception of
a copy of the act before we could make ont
the necessary Instructions to the officers of
our vessels. The acts of both Govern
ments are now at hand, and no further
delay will follow"
Secretary Herbert expressed himself as
we'll pleased with the showing the Mon
terey had made. "She seems to be first

had more like her"
One of the objects of the Secretary's
visit is TO inspect the vessel mentioned.
and for this purpose he will 60 aboard of
her to-day. He expressed himself last
evening as determined to make thorough
examination of the ship and satisfy him
self as to her qualities. so far as one would
be able to judge from such an inspection.
The Secretary stated that it was his desire
to fsmillarize himself with the navy-yard
at Mare Island. as it was expected that a
great deal Of work will be done there in the
future.
Regarding the armor-plate frauds Mr.
Herbert said that nothing more had devel-
oped recently outside of what bad already

These are the five names against which
the Grand Jury returned Indictments yes
terday.
The indictments against the first four
Graves, Montgomery, Jenkins and Dick
McDODald-were found upon the trans
action in relation to the Swanberg securi-
ties, in which they participated as di-
rectors of the Peoples Home Savings
Bank. The charge brought was felony
EN- beZzlement.
Frank Y. Mcdonald was indicted upon
the same charge found in the original in
dictment upon which his brother Dick was
arrested = felony embeZzement upon a
charge of misappropriatiag $4,000 of the
funds of the Pacific Bank on June %, 1898.
1t was shortly after o'clock yesterday
afternoon when the grand jurors filed
into Judge Hebbar1's courtroom.

foreman of the Grand Jury. rs it neces-

withheld for the present. Let bench war
rants issue for their arrest"
Contrary to the precedent in the case of
Dick Mcdonald, Sheriff McDade was not
requested to make the arrests, but the
police were asked to attend to the matter.
Dick Mcdonald was served with the
bench warrant in the County Jail, and
acknowledged service.
AS soon as he learned that a warrant
was out for his arrest Charles r. Mont
gomery called upon his attorney, w. II.
Jordan. They arranged for Sureties and
then took carriage in search of Su-
periOr Judge before whom they could flo

finding a Judge. At last they went to

sureties in the sum of $4,000 Judge
Levy promptly approved the bond and
gave an order for Mr.. Montgomery's re-
lease.
The carriage was then driven to the Gen.
tral station, which was reached at
o'clock.
Across the prison register was written
"Charles Montgomery-G. j. I.-47-Ire-
nd-botel-keeper-w embeZ-
zlement-W. II. Wlliams-City Hall

Mr.. Montgomery presented his Tail bond.
which was accepted, and walked out oithe
station.
Shortly sfterward Judge Hebbard en-
tered his courtroom, and in few moments
Hiram t. Graves. accompanied by l.. E.
Phillips, G. 0. Swanberg and H. w. West
phal, appeared. Judge Hebbard accepted
Swanberg and Westphal as sureties. and
wrote an order for the release of Graves.
which Captain Lees accepted. without re-
quiring Mr.. Graves to enter the station for
registration.
The bench warrant was put in the hands
of an officer for the arrest of A. l.. Jenkins
at the same time that warrants were issued
for Graves and Montgomery.
The Indictment against Graves, Mont
gomery, Jenkins and Dick Mcdonald was
joint one, charging felony-em pezzlement
for the delivering up of the Swanberg
securities on May l. These were the
securities which had been taken for a
fictitious note. upon which a letter of
credit had been given by the Pacific Bank.
which Swanberg undertook to negotiate In
Sweden. The failure of the Pacific Bank
stopped the negotiations in Sweden.
Various legal advisers had recomme uded
the return of the Swanberg securities by
the bank. but the final vote of the directors
and the turning over of the securities to
Swanberg did not take place until the day
upon which receiver was appointed fol
the Peoples Home Savings Bank.
Hiram I. Graves had little to say las,
evening upon the subject of the indictment
beyond remarking that he had been guilty
of no wrongdolng. Mr.. Graves is an old

highly respected citizen. He is the sec
retary Of the Masonic Savings and Loan
Bank and the secretary of the Masonic

necessary for the British Government to
