NEED A PERMANENT COMMITTEE
The Lexow Theory Advocated by
Charles HoIbrook.

CHARLES HoLBRooK, of Holbrook, Mer-
rill & Stetson, stove and metals, 225
Market:
''What are we doing? Everything
we can. have been a member of sew
eral grand iuries, but this one seems to
me to be more in earnest than is usually
the case. There is a disposition to hide
the truth from Grand Jury, but we have
no desire to hide anything. We wish to
investigate the crimesand violations within
our power: election frauds, Irregularities
of office-holders, gambling and the like.
81 do not favor legislative committee
for the purposes of making temporary in
vestigations of offenses against office-hold-
ers and violations of the statutes. What
we need is committee that will consist of
good men-out of town men, whose duty
it shall be to thoroughly investigate
affairs, as that Lexow Committee in New
York has done, and report to the next Leg
islature. There is no great hurry. Give a
committee time and compel it to work
thoroughly and let the State pay for it.
There has been a good deal of this sort of
work paid for by private subscriptions.
That ought not to be done. 1t is matter
for the people. The Grand Jury could do
more and better work if it were a perma-
nent body and had the time.
GAS to needed laws, that is matter which
should be called to the attention of the
Freeholders before this new charter is
framed. This is an opportunity for the
press to do good work.
81 understand thereis no gambling, now
that the Grand Jury is in session. Well, if
l..
porary body do? We are as willing in this
as in the election frauds"
The morning call., 1895-02-01
PERSONAL FRIENDSHIPS.
They Have Too Much to Do With
Grand jury Work.

HENRY l.. DAVIS, president of the Cali
fornia Optical Company and secretary and
treasurer of the California Wire Works,
said:
''The present Grand Jury would do much
better work if personal friendships did not
enter so much into it's composition. OF
course we all know how it is. You or.
have lifelong friend who may at any
time come up for investigation. No mat
ter how much we may desire to see justice
done, we will undoubtedly lean to our
friends side of the case, and if it comes to
a decision will give him the benefit of the
doubt. l think | could get nineteen men
in San Francisco who would not be subject
to any influence and who would do their
duty without fear or favor.
1.-THE present Grand Jury, of which | am
a member, is fine body of men. Their
intention is good, but 1 am afraid that
personal friendships may have some in
Huence upon the execution of their plans.
II am member of the committee that
is investigating the election frauds. We
have made start in the direction of re-
form and hope to keep right on until we
have reached everybody who was in the
deal. We do not want the small fry so
much as the big fish. The men who en-
gineered the frauds and put up the money
W uo Tie DrlDlHS are Tile IHeH we are dlteI.
| think several men who were elected dur
ing the last campaign will be at the bar of
justice before this Grand Jury adjourns.
''In regard to legislation we will not be
able to do anything during this session of
the Legislature 1t will be fully six weeks
before we are ready to make report, and
by that time the Assembly and Senate will
have adjourned. Personally / am in favor
of the appointment of an investigating
committee, but 1 think the next Grand
Jury will have to act ON that proposition"

Grand Jurors Proclaim Their
Intentions.
Upon CIVIC REGENERATION.
They Are Still Occupied With Frauds
on the Ballot.
BIT WILL LOOK INTO CITY AFFAIRS.
The Spirit Of the Popular Revolution for
Better Public Morals AnimateS
the lnquiSitOrS.
Upon CIVIC REGENERATION.
BUT WILL LOOK INTO CITY AFFAIRS.

So much good can be done by the present
Grand Jury that its members are puzzled
as to where they should begin. Election
frauds and personal cases have thus far
absorbed the time of the jurors but with
out dampening their desire for searching in
vestigation into municipal departments.
In view of the great popular revolution
for reform throughout the city government
people have asked themselves, "What does
the Grand Jury intend to do that San
Francisco may be the better for its exist
ence?"
THE CALL has offered an opportunity for
the grand jurors to answer this question.
The members of the Grand Jury say that
they want to investigate all the city de-
partments-the police, street, fire and
other branches which have been placed
under the ban by civic bodies. And some
OF them believe that an appeal for special
legislation ought to be made.
The morning call., 1895-02-01
WILLING TO ACT.
Mr.. Mandel Says the Jury VIII Do
Its Whole Duty.

EMANUEL MANDEL of D. Block & Co., trunk
manufacturers, 125 Sansome street:
II believe, speaking for other members
OF the Grand Jury, that this city has never
had more earnest body of men investiga-
ting crimes and violations of law. 1 do not
care to go into details as to our work; but
l Will say that there shall not come before
our notice any crime or misdemeanor
which we will not willingly and thoroughly
investigate. AS to needed legislation, the
foreman of the jury can best say as to our
plans. l do not care to express an opinion
as to the sort of laws that ought to be en-
acted. A legislative committee might be
of good deal of service. Every person or
body of persons who will ferret out offenses
is of that much help"

AT LEAST 1T TERRoRIZEs.
The Grand Jury Has an Influence on
Civ Officers

JOSEPH BR1rToN, president of the Free
holders committee and a member of the
firm of Britton G. Rey, photographers, 525
Commercial street, said
~ have not been near the jury, and
won't be till the charter is finished.
at seems to me that the Grand Jury has
enough to do without mixing in civic re-
form as body. The regeneration of the
city should be left to civic bodies. AT the
end of the session we will probably make
recommendations in our report on special
legislation for San Francisco.
"The present Grand Jury system is good.
If nothing else comes of the deliberations
of that body they hold a kind of terror
over offices of the government. But L
don't think the system of selecting the
Grand Jury is right. Selection should be
left to individual Judges, because if one
Judge had the naming of men for a Grand
Jury, now and then you could get an ag-
gressive body The Grand Jury that does
nothing is bad Grand jury"

eve are calling the attention of Chief
Crowley to one matter which may not
seem of great importance, but l think it
is; that of fast driving on the street.
There has been considerable loss of life
from this violation.
"Let those individual investigation COM
mittees go on in their work. There is a
good deal of reforming to be done in all
branches, and there are a good many high
handed violators of the law whom we hope
TO indict. If the Grand Jury does not
bring offenders to answer for their offenses
am afraid the citizens will resort to the
old time vigilance procedure"

AFTER THE BIG ONES.
e. NJ. Meyer Wants the Great
Criminals as Well as Small.

E. NJ. MEYER of E. M. Meyer & Co., wine
and liquor merchants, 1047 Market street,
81 do not think there Will be anything
overlooked by this Grand Jury. There is
the greatest harmony and earnestness in
the body. The election frauds have de-
manded good deal of attention, but other
departments and other offices will come in
the line of our duty. / am particularly
DESTROYS of getting at the big men in these
election frauds. Those are the men to
reach, but l am not disposed to let the
small ones go.
''The Grand Jury system may not be the
best of systems, but SO long as it is in
vogue and am a member of Grand Jury

n. L. Tatum Says They Will Take
Up All the Time.

HENRY L. TATUM of the firm of Tatum &
Bowen, at "a Fremont street, said:
81 am afraid that there will be little time
for much independent investigation after
we get through with the election frauds.
From all that | can learn there is an ines
Unable amount of work before US in that
way. Nearly all our time so far has been
taken up with investigating the evidence
IN those cases. You know Judge Hebbard
IN giving us our instructions emphasized
the Importance of this work. We have had
no time yet to go into general municipal
affairs. and that is the principal thing
discussed our future policy. l believe in
going thoroughly into all the charges of

E. w. Wainwright Would Investi-
cate the Stealing of the Eair Will

EDWARD w. WAINWRIGHT of the firm of
Wainwright e. Easton, at 80 Market street,
said:
"This is an energetic, lively jury and
ready to do all it can, but there is more
work offered than ten juries could handle.
Street departments and other things in
which there may be frauds, but | am
afraid that. we shall not get to it all. 1
never met, however, a crowd of men more
anxious to do their full duty fearlessly and
thoroughly. The committees which am
on have done nothing so far in their re-
spective lines on account of those election
fraud cases. l have no doubt, however,
that every department of the city govern
ment will have thorough overhauling.
The stealing of the Fair will indicates a
pretty state of affairs in the County Clerks
office.

THE TIME TOO SHORT.
Monson RUSSELL Thinks Election
Frauds Preclude Other Work.

MoNsoN RUSSELL of Wells, Russell & Co.,
at the corner of Mission and Fremont
streets, said:
1T is a good working Grand Jury We
shall go into these election frauds thor
oughlly and probe the whole matter
to the bottom. / cannot speak of
what will be done in other lines, for We
nave not been in session long enough. 1t

Inc law provides for two juries year, and
the last was in session eight months. 1t

c. S. BigeIow Thinks There Is More
Than a Years Work for the Jury.

SAMUEL c. BIGELow, president of the Saw

street:
at would not be right for me to say
anything whatever about what we pro-
pose to do, nor to give my ideas about
what lines of investigation I think the
jury should pursue. We are bound by
oath not to divulge anything that is being
done by the jury, and it would be, think,
equally inappropriate for me to discuss
The morning call., 1895-02-01

what should be done. 1 believe that the
jury will try to go to the bottom of all the
frauds they can find. If the jury is of the
right sort it will do its duty without the
assistance of public discussion, and be-
lieve it is a good jury. There is enough
work ahead for US to take all our spare
time for over a year. For my part, 1 only
wish 1 could devote all my time for the
next six months"

TICKET AGENTS. FIGHT.
Broker Ottinger and Agent Bray Have
an Encounter.

Edward Bray, the representative of the
Chicago and Northwestern road in this
city, and Adolph Ottinger, ticket broker,
had lively little, personal encounter in
the saloon adjoining the latter's office yes
terday afternoon.
The trouble arose out of some business
relative to the payment of commissions
which Bray claimed were due him from
0ttinger, and which he yesterday de-
manded.
A wordy war followed and Bray is said
to have applied an obnoxious epithet to
Ottinger, which the latter resented, and
the two speedily got together.
In the melee which followed Ottinger's
right eye suffered severe confusion. Bray
escaped untouched.
