The government organs on the contra

Is responsible for these restrictions, and

Germany out of Samoa, and they appeal

GRAND JURY AND cOLNON
A Corrupt Proposition in Prac-
teal Politics Under
Discussion.
HOW APPROACHES ARE MADE.
The Harbor Commissioner De-
clines to Name Any One-Investi-
CATION Probable.

The remarks of Harbor Commissioner
E. L. Colnon, published in yesterdays
CALL, have caused much comment in po-
litical circles. Mr.. Colnon was correctly
reported as saying:
In regard to San Francisco politics may
say that / might have formed alliances with
local politicians, but did not. Some OF these
politicians come to me with propositions
purely financial in their nature.
In one of these propositions will say that
the cool suggestion was made that there would
be as much as $500 month on one appoint
ment OF course, not wishing to do practical
politics on this basis refu sed to entertain any
such proposition.
l was approached in other matters and
solicited to engage in practical politics. IN
another appointment, an important appoint nj
sum OF $1,000 a month was represented as the
profits, if could control and secure the ap-
pointment for the person desired.
District Attorney Barnes is apprised of
the serious charges made by responsible
citizen and believes that the Grand ury
will proceed to thorough investigation OF
the case. The next meeting of the jury
will take place Friday of this week.
Mr.. Colnon was seen at his home last
evening and asked if he would give to The
CALL the name of the person who made
the proposition in practical politics. 81
decline" said he, "to give this information
10 i HE OALD. tOlQ LIlS IcpOIlcI tudb d
statement of this character without the
name of the individual that proposed the
bargain would carry no weight and advised
against it's publication. 1t is like this: A
man comes to you and says if this appoint
ment is made there is $1,000 month in it.
You say to him: My dear fellow, you
have mistaken your man. l cannot enter
tain proposition of that character.
That ends the incident. / suppose every
man in public life has had propositions of
this kind presented to him."
The reporter inquired: "Would you
give the information desired by The CALL
| to the Grand Jury2"
~ am not sure that I would" replied
Mr.. Colnon.
GAS good citizen would you not con-
slider it your duty to give the information
| if the Grand Jury requested it?"
mo; | should not consider it my duty
| to inform the Grand jury"
| Among the politicians that assemble
| every night at the Baldwin opinions diff
| fered as to whether the Grand Jury could
require Mr.. Colnon to divulge the name of
| the person who made the proposition in
practical politics.
Max Pepper doubted whether the jury
had authority to compel an answer to the
question.
Charles Gilden was of the opinion that
the Grand Jury could make Mr.. Colnon
divulge the name.
