TO REPLACE THE Old HALL.
A SPECIAL LEVY WILL PROBABLY
BE MADE FOR A NEW
PUBLIC BUILDING.
DEPARTMENTS-SU
TAYLoR'S VIEWS.

| Now that the Governor has signed the
bill which gives the Supervisors power to
| acquire the remainder of the block on
which the old City Hall stands and to put
up building at cost of 100000 the Su-
pervisors are not inclined to lose any time
in doing something to carry out the project.
In speaking of the matter yesterday Su-
pervisor Taylor, who is chairman of the
Finance Committee, said:
"Of course nothing can be done in the
matter until the next tax levy is made.
Then we can prepare for it. l am in favor
of pushing the matter through, and I
think the other members of the board feel
the same way. AS regards the raising of
the money | would decidedly favor a spe-
cial levy, and in order that it would not be
too hard on the taxpayers half of the
money could be raised one year and the
other half during the next year.
tSuch building would be quite while
in construction, and this manner of
raising the money would not interfere
though, will be discussed by the Finance
Committee in good time. AS to the style
of building | would favor one about seven
stories high, properly fitted up, so it could
be used instead of the old County Jail
building on Broadway. Then the criminal
department could be located there, and by
the use of elevators prisoners could be
taken from their cells with hardly any
trouble and without making a public
spectacle of them as at present by driving
them through the streets. On the top
floor of the building would have large
assembly hall for the use of the police,
where they could meet for drilling pur-
poses or in case of riot or trouble of any
kind Such room is very much needed
by the Police Department"

Roland N. Harris, and United States Mar
shall M. Harris started out on a still hunt.
They first of all went to Wells, Fargo q
Co.'s building on New Montgomery street.
Thomas and Harris went upstairs to room
so On the fourth floor, while Gilchrlst re-
manned on the corner of Mission and New
Montgomery. His duty was to watch the
window of room 81 and it proved to be a
wise precaution.
When a combined attack was made on
the door the window was hastily put up
and bundle containing seventy-tlve bogus
certificates, similar to the one here repro
duced, thrown out. Gilchrist made run
and caught the package in its flight.
While this was going on there were lively
times in front of the door, Thomas and
the three HAIRLESS threw themselves against
it time and again, but it resisted all their
efforts. Finally they took turns at kicking
at one of the panels, and when it finally
gave way they crept in one at a time. Not
one of the attacking force held back, but
each one was eager to be the first to enter
the breach.
When all were in Foss was standing
beside the waste-paper basket tearing
letters into small pieces. One of these
was pieced together and found to be of an
discriminating character. Ciprico fought
like tiger. When Harris put his hands
on him he swung around and, taking the
secret service agent by surprise, almost
knocked him down. A Drawer man than
Nick Harris never tackled criminal, and
he was back at Ciprico in a second.
Revenue Agent Thomas and Deputy
Dudley Harris joined issues, and it was
not long before Ciprico was bound and

the certificates, and the latter made out
and ready for him at o'clock last night
Ten other certificates were found in an
envelope marked private and then Clip
rico turned faint and we had to let him
sit down.
"While this was going on Foss called Mr..
Harris and myself apart, saying he wanted
a private conversation. He told us that
early in the day he had sent word to the
Internal Revenue Office, asking that a
deputy be sent to see him at the Oceanic
dock, as he had information that would
lead to the detection of some gigantic
frauds. He then offered to turn States
evidence and give everything away, but
when came to question him I found he
was not honest in the offer. Foss is the
man who had the printing of the certifi-
Gates done, and when we asked the name
of the printer he refused point blank to
tell. That is the only information of value
he could give US, SO we do not want his
evidence.

submitted to being handcuffed like an old

In telling about the exciting scene last
night Thomas said: when we had secured
Ciprico we searched the persons of the trio
and found letters that are very incriminat-
ing and which will be used in evidence.
On Sullivan we found bogus certificate
which it would take an expert to tell
wherein it differs from the genuine article.
