Back From the Celebration at Kiel the Skip
per" VIII Be Allowed to Make
Fast Time

NEW YORK, June 2S.-At last Captain
Sumner. commanding the United States
cruiser Columbia, is to have his longed-
for opportunity to test the vessels speed.
Under instructions from Secretary of the
Navy Herbert the Columbia, which is now
at kiel, will race from Southampton to
this port. The engines will not be
driven at the highest speed, as the only
object of the test is to see what the triple
screws can do IN actual service without
subjectng the vessel to any strain. She
steamed to Kiel with her boiler at three
quarters of the full steam pressure and
occupied eight days In the trip to South
ampton, using six of the eight boilers
and averaging 1863 knots an hour.
The tes6 of the Columbia in the pres
ent instance is only a partial one and
her performance cannon be fairly COM
pared with that of an ocean liner. Cap
tain Sumner would like to race the YES
Sci some two thousand miles after she has
just come off dry dock, but he is glad
to get the opportunity afforded by the
secretarys orders.

THE CAPITALS GRAND JURY
II Is Expected the Famous Body Will
Conclude Today
Some Figures That Will Prove Of Varying
Interest to the Tax-paying Public
of Sacramento

SACRAMENTO, June 2S.-It is ex.
jury will wind up its work tomorrow and
present its report to the superior court.
There have been rumors abroad for several
days to the effect that the jury would
find indictments against all the mem
bers of the board of supervisors. 1t is
said, however, that the supervisors will
be merely censured in the report. The
grand jury will make accusations to the
effect that the county funds have been
appropriated without proper authority or
precaution and that the supervisors have
been careless IN their methods of doing
business.
The board will be severely criticized, it
is claimed, for having paid out, year
ago SIS, 900 to the Southern Pacific to as
sist in building bridge over the Sacra-
mento river, without having a contract of
any kind. and will call attention to the
fact that the bridge has not get been COM
menced. The members of the grand jury
claim while Sacramento was to contrib
ute $780, 000-$l5, 900 of which was paid
Yolo county giving $11, 900 on the under
standing that steel bridge costing $780,
600 would be built. 1t now transpires
that wooden bridge is to be erected. 1t
is also claimed that supervisors have been
allowing various county officers to have
deputies, without any necessity therefor.
In one instance, it is claimed that
several thousands of dollars were allowed
for clerical work which could have been
done in one months time. 1t is said
that the grand jury's report will also set
forth that the supervisors acted beyond
their authority in making allowances out
Of the i'm migration funnd in excess of the
meaning of the law.
