The Civic Federation will not present
any protest against the appointment of
Edward Reddy OF Mono County as Super
intendent OF County Almshouses. Accord
ing to George T. Gaden the society will not
meddle with any appointments Governor
Budo may make.
The executive committee of the Civic
Federation held two conferences yester-
day. The result of these meetings is
kept secret. The only statement that
any member of the society would make
was that some City officials would soon be
brought before the Grand Jury.
Mr.. Gaden is much wrought up over
newspaper articles charging him with
making personal fight against the Super
intendent of Streets. He said:
did not in my report to the Civic Federation
accuse Mr.. Ashworth of fincompetency, nor did
blame him for the present condition of our
streets. My report was that these streets had
been paved before the present superintendent
had assumed control.
have no fight against Mr. Ashworth. My
claim is that the streets of San Francisco are in
bad condition. There is no excuse for being
in such state, and my efforts as a citizen and
chairman of the street committee OF the Civic
Federation is simply an effort to bring about q
better state of affairs.

ton, better known as Pierce, the diamond
thief who was tried and convicted here,

time, on account of his villainous tricks.
has again caused sensation near the
convict camps near Archer. BY some
means he managed to smuggle a suit of
clothes into the room where he worked,
and selecting the hour of noon, when all
the guards were busy watching the con-
victs at their monday repast, he donned
the suit of clothes, and boldly walked by
the outside guard, who supposed that
Pierce was a drummer who had been in
camp during the morning, securing an
order from the superintendent of the COM
missary department. Fortunately the SUI
perlntendent wanted some information
about stock, so went to Pierce's room to
make inquiries. Opening the door he
found that Pierce had escaped. Guards
were hastily sent out in every direction,
and soon found him hurrying along the
railroad tracks. He surrendered at the
barrel of a Winchester rife and marched
back to camp, where he was severely
whipped, placed in chains and locked up.

Facts and Queries for the PrOhlbi
fiOnfSfs.

/. It is a fact that Maine has been the
temple of prohibition for nearly half a
century.
2. 1t is a fact that rum and a drunk
in its worst form is as easily obtainable in
the cities and towns of Maine to-day as
in similar places in Georgia.
3. Statistics show that drunkenness
hOurishes to a much greater extent in
Portland, Me, than in Savannah, both be-
ing seaboard cities and nearly equal in
population
4. 1t is fact that Savannah levies a tax
of $4,000 on the sale of liquors, and that
in Portland there is no tax and no cost to
the seller
Queries-Are these facts known to the
prohibitionists? facts which are patent
to all those who seek the truth?
If not known to them, does it not indi-
cate gross II not willful, Ignorance on the
part of these sci disant reformers?
If the facts are known TO them and they
yet seek TO bring about the same state Of
things in our CITY, does 1t not show them
more welded to fad than fact2
Is it not a general principle of law, that
one who has knowledge of a crime pro-
Jected or accomplished and fails to appear
against and denounce the criminal, be-
comes an accessory
If (any) good citizen" really believing
ing that certain bar rooms are open on
Sunday in violation of law, fails to in
form against and help to convict the GRIM
inal, does he not morally at least become
particeps criminis?
Answers to these questions will no doubt
subserve the public interests, and certainly
enlighten one Anxious Inquirer.
