C0RRUPTIONISTS ARRESTED.
INDICTED FOR FELONY BY THE
GRAND JURY THEY GIVE
THEMSELVES UP.
CURE BAIL AT THE LAST
MOMENT.

James j. Bagley, Joseph Flanagan,
David L.. Roach, Michael Calinan and E..
B. Peterson, five of the election corruption
lists indicted by the Grand Jury for felony.
were arrested last night on Superior Court
bench warrants and lodged in the Southern
police station Bail was fixed at $1,000 in
each case. James J. Bagiey was the only
one OF the quintet fortunate in securing
bonds, which he did in the sum of $1,000.
They are all to appear in Supreme Court
NO. at 10 o'clock to-day to answer the
charge set forth in the Indictment.
Bagley, Flanagan, Roach and Calinan
were detected Of fraud in the Twelfth
Precinct OF the Twenty-ninth District, and
Peterson in Fourth Precinct of the Twenty
eighth District.
The warrants for their arrest were issued
on the 18th inst, but it was not until last
night that the police were able to locate
them. The reason the culprits give for
keeping out of sight is that they wished to
have bonds in readiness for their imme-
dlate release, but, finding that bonds were
not to be easily secured they gave them
selves up. Bagley was more successful, as
at the last moment d. P. Murphy came
forward and prevented his imprisonment
by giving bonds for $1,000.
AT the police station they all seemed in
high humor and laughed when a serious

unscathed
A. J. Meadows, who was indicted by the
Grand Jury on Monday on three charges
OF felony embezzlement, was arrested yes
terday afternoon and was released on $500
bonds on each charge. The complaining
witness is Joseph Wells, contractor, and
according to Meadows the transactions on
which the charges are based took place in
1891. In that year Wells did some con-
tract work on Mission, Holly and Dolores
streets, and Meadows did some financing
Tor him., Wells lost several thousand dol
lars on the contracts, and Meadows says he
has been trying since 1891 to fix the blame
upon him.
Antonio Lauresallo, who was also in
dicted by the Grand Jury on the charge of
burglary, was arrested yesterday after
noon. He is charged with entering the
house at 535 Vallejo street, two weeks ago,
and stealing a diamond ring, lady's gold
watch, necklace and other jewelry.
Three other persons arrested on Grand

THE BARRIERS UNION.
Members Want All the Shops to Close
at O'Clock.


at O'Clock.
At the meeting of the BARRIERS Union
held last night at 102 O'Farrell street Dam
iel McGiIvray was elected to a vacancy in
the board of trustees caused by the resig-
nation of B. NJ. Mann.
During the evening it was stated that
there was very little hope that the Legisla-
ture would pass the bill requiring barber
shops to close on Sundays, or the one re-
quiring them to close at noon.
1t was stated that at this time many of
the barber-shops, instead of closing at 8
o'clock as has been the custom for many
years, remain open until O'Clock and even
later, thereby forcing the journeymen to
work much longer hours.
EThis, explained one member, is the re-
suit of the percentage. MEN, he said,
''are forced to work long hours in order to
earn enough to make up a fair days
wages"
Journeymen who work on the percentage
plan are paid so cents for every dollars
worth of work they perform, and in 10-cent
shops they have to shave ten men before
they earn go cents.
After long discussion it was decided to
invite the bosses of shops to attend the
next meeting to see whether some arrange
ment cannot be reached to close all shops

Verdict OF the jury on the Death OF
Convict w. ID. Robinson.
An inquest was held by Justice Stur-

Clark, on Tuesday on w. d. Robinson, u
convict, who was killed by the cars on
the prison grounds the evening bafore.
Three Folsom business men and other
residents of Folsom composed the jury,
being summoned by Deputy Coroner
Craig.
The evidence OF g. half-dozen witnesses
showed that Robinson WAS acting as
brakeman on a train of dirt cars, and
after uncOupling some cars started to
climb up the brake of one, but changing
his mind, started toward the cars in the
opposite direction and was run over. He
was 80 years old, and had only three
months more OF his term TO serve.
The jury found that he was run over
by the cars, and that his death was due 10
his own careIessness. News OF his de-
cease was Immediately telegraphed to his
relatives in the East, and the body put on
ice to await their answer.

HOPS WILL NOT GO UNHARVESTED.
The Prevailing Prices viii Allow Of
Some Profit.
So Says a Sacramento Grower, and lie
is Corroborated by Men,
dociro Man.

The statement has been made fre-
quently of late that many hop-growers
Will let their hops rot on the vines rather
than pick and market them at the pre-
vailing prices, which some say will not
pay for the expense
This is an eXaggeration. A prominent
hop-grower of this county informs a REC
ORD-U UNION reporter that at the present
prices offered for hops he would have a
handsome margin for profit. True, he
had not been at any unusual expense,
such as the erection of drying house.
nor other buildings, for these he already
had.
The fact is, hop-growers are engaging
all the help they can get to harvest their
crops. and it is safe to say that not field
in this county will be allowed to 60 un-
picked.
The Sacramento mans statement is
corroborated by ex-Sheriff Stanley of
AendOcinO County, a prominent grower
in that section. Mr.. Stanley is now in
San Francisco, and to reporter on one
OF the city papers there he said, when
seen on Tuesday:
There is no truth whatever in the
statement that the hops will not be har-
vested on account of the prices. These
reports are Liable to do incaiculable harm
TO the agricultural Interests Of the north
ern bay counties. As a truth large
number of the hop-growers of Sonoma,
Lake and Nendocino Counties have
yearly contracts for their hops at Is cents.
These contracts have been running
through years and years, and the grow
ers are perfectly satisfied to let them con-
tinue, even though the price goes 100 or
200 per cent. higher some years.
"All this talk about the hops going un-
harvested is nonsense. If the price goes
as low as or cents the growers could
not afford TO let the blossoms wither on
the vines They can grow them for 4
cents pound, and at 81 hundred for
picking they have profit.
The responsibility for these misstate-
ments rests with some Of those growers
who want to clear ten or twenty thousand
dollars year on their yards. There
have been times when the growers of So
noma and Mendocino cleared 1900 an
acre on their hops, and those men are in
varlaDly the ones 10 raise howl if the
blossoms go below % or 30 cents. DO
you know that there is good living in
hops at 10 cents? At Is cents the grower
can make fair profit"
