The Reform Onlv Begun.
The exposure of the practice of levying
blackmail by the police, particularly upon
the criminal classes of society, who in con-
sidcration of their payments of money
were granted immunity from arrest, was
primarily the work of the Society for the
Prevention of Vice, which procured the
appointment of tho state senate commit
tee which has become famous under the
name of its chairman, Lexow. The I'M
earthing of corruption in municipal affairs
is only IA beginning of the work of reform
which is in contemplation and which, be-
fore occurrences OF such abuses can be pre-
vented, it Is claimed, calls for radical
changes in the state laws relating to the
government of cities
Mayor Must Have More Power.
Without an enlargement Of the powers
OF the mayor il is argued that Strong,
whatever may be his disposition, is rs
helpless to combat corruption in the de-
partments as his predecessors in Office have
been. 1t is proposed TO enact law giving
the mayor power of removal over heads of
bureaus and an absolute control of the
police department. Under the present
system, while the mayor appoints mem
bers of the police board ana other depart
ment chiefs, he may not remove them OK
cept through processes that practically
amount to II deprivation of the power
The framing of new laws touching these
points promises to be as important
work as any that is likely to come before
the state legislature.

John w. Mcclure Went Hunting and
Did Not Return.
A dispatch flom Knights Landing says
that John w. Mcclure of Sacramento is
missing. On January 1st Mcclure ar
rived there TO 60 duck-hunting, and, in
company with Ira Silvas, went to Cole
Grove Point, Sutter County.
The next day he left alone in a duck
boat, saying he would return by o'clock
at the latest. Silvas waited for him three
days, and, after searching in vain for the
missing man, went to Knights Landing
and sent word to McClure's brother in
this city. The latter arrived at Knights
Landing Monday night. and has been
searching the tules for his brother, so Tar
without success.
The city directory gives the missing
mans residence at 1912 Tenth street, and
his occupation as that OF cleaner at the
railroad roundhouse. Frederick Nc
Clure, hunter and fisherman; Robert ).
Mcclure, olier at the car shops, and Will

1t was learned last night that McClure's
duck boat had been found in the tules
between knights Landing and the
Feather River, together with his decoys.
several ducks he had killed and the rest
OF his outfit. There is no doubt but he
was drowned.
