One reason why we address mass-meetings is
because we have in our possession the evidence
OF corruption. We can prove what we say and
we make the charges because we believe it is
our duty to do So Personally we gain moth
ing. We lose if anything and we make deadly
enemies. Besides it is not pleasant to leave our
because we ought TO do so.
Do we know OF any official who has neglected
his duty? Well, some of them are too new in
Office 10 say much about them. The District
Attorney has not shown any particular enthu-
siasm in conducting cases. He has never
brought any suits 10 expose and punish per-
sons guilty of corruption. The Sheriff is too
new in office, but he would do well TO investi-
gate the inside of the Hurley jury bribery case.
II such thing comes to light without investiga
ton what might an investigation bring forth?
If the Hurley case is sample of how the Sher
ifs Office is run then there is something very
lax about his system.
The Chief of Police has the power to close the
dives and disorderly houses. Why don't he do
so, especially in the center of town, even
though rich people own the buildings?
Mayor Sutro has not been long enough in
Office to be judged. But then what power has
the Mayor at present? He could do nothing if
he tried. The members OF the Grand Jury are
all right. but they have not enough power.
The reason why we went 10 Sacramento was
because we had evidence of corruption, and we
want commission which has more power than
a grand jury to investigate our charges. When
we get that commission we viii produce some
startling evidence.

MALICIOUS UNTRUTHS.
w. S. BARNES SAYS He Does Nor
NEGLECT HIS DUTY.

District Attorney Barnes was almost
Frustrated with fatigue from his long argu-
ment in the Mcdonald case, but was so
much interested in the CALLS queries re-
garding his Office that he forgot his weari-
ness and left his table in the Palace restau-
rant to deny negligence of duty. He did
1t so forcibly that there could be no mis-
taking his earnestness.
Any man who says l ever neglected my
duties through carelessness or intention or
allowed a criminal TO escape without making
whatever effort could under the law to con-
vict or at least indict, lies and maliciously.

been nominated and business was immedi
ately suspended in the office of Crittenden,
Foote & Van Wyck while congratula-
lions were offered As the news of the APP
pointment spread politicians and friends
dropped in to compliment the ex-Judge on
his success.
Judge Foote will enter on his new duties
just as soon as the nomination is confirmed
by the Senate and the commission issued.
Lately he has been engaged as special
counsel in the strikers case. Acting Dis
trict Attorney Knight will continue in
office as first assistant and Major George
Stonehill will probably be given the sec
ond place.
Judge Foote comes from an old Southern
family. He was born at Raymond, Kinds
County, Miss, in 1910. In 1854 he came to
California with his father, Ex-Governor
Foote, of Mississippi. He entered the
Oakland College, then conducted by Henry
Durant, who afterward became distin-
guished as the founder and first president
of the University of California.
Young Footehad for college companions
at Oakland Charles A. Garter, whom he
now succeeds as District Attorney; Bar
clay Henley, William M. Gwin Jr. and
John R. Glascock. In 1856 he was gradu-
ated from the Oakland institution and en-
tered Georgetown College, near Washing
ton, where he remained two years. finish
ing his collegiate education.
Judge Foote entered upon the study of
the law at Nashville, Tenn, in 1860 and
was there granted license to practice
having passed the required examination.
He afterward became Probate Judge and
District Attorney for the Middle District
of Mississippi
Twelve years ago Judge Foote returned
to California and formed law partner
ship with his brother, w. w. Foote. This
partnership continued until the Judge
was appointed Commissioner of the
Supreme Court, which, at the time, was
Democratic in its political complexion.
He was afterward appointed for four years
to the same position by a Republican
court. Just before the expiration of his
second term he resigned his Office and
resumed his law practice.
Judge Foote is regent of the State Uni
versity and director of the Hastings
Law College.

WANTS AN INVESTIGATION
MAYOR SUTRo HAS. UNEARTHED
FLAGRANT FRAUDS.

Mayor Sutro was weary after presiding
over long meeting of the committee
which is endeavoring to find employment
for the unemployed, but readily consented
to give his views on the situation. He
said:

once, for many of the departments of this CITY

the corridors of the hotels and in the halls OF
this very building, corruption, corruption
everywhere.
To what departments does my absolute
knowledge extend? Why, we'll as to that |

Yes, do know OF single department where
crooked work has been done, and that is in the

they are fraudulent. A few days ago claims for
paving Laguna street, between Oak and Fell
and Buchanan street, between Vallejo and
Green, with bituminous rock, were presented.

the contract had been carried out, and found a
very fragrant fraud had been committed
The contract called for a foundation of six
inches OF cement, but not particle had been
laid and the bitunen rested on the bare sand.
This work was done during the last admins

SAYS THEY LIE.
CROWLEY CASTS THE GAUNTLET TIC
THE INVESTIGATORS

Chief Crowley had Just finished an in
spection of the records of his Office when
called upon. He said:
do not wish, neither do l intend to enter
into any controversy with these people, who
understand have been making insinuations
against the honesty of myself and my subordi-
mates. Many of them are ministers, and it
does not appear 10 me seemly to enter into any
quarrel with the CLOTH but must say that they
are making statements which are without
foundation in fact, and that the records of my
office will show that the Police Department has
done efficient service in suppressing the gam
bling element, which they make such hue
and cry about. My men are not cowardly, nor
corrupt, nor inefficient, and any man who says
they are, or that have ever knowingly failed
10 do my duty to the best of my ability, lies,
and / believe that he knows that he lies.
Why don't we arrest some OF the criminals?
Just look at this statement OF the amount of
fines imposed on gamblers during the past six
teen years, during which time l have been
Chief OF Police. 1t is taken from the records of
thisotfice, and I guarantee its accuracy. Dur
ing that time there was S4l9,375 in fines i'm
posed, of which, $261 ,035 was paid and
$l57, $40 unpaid, the convicted gamblers serv-
ing out their terms in prison. In addition to
those who were convicted we arrested thou
sands who managed TO escape justice through
some artitice or other. Had the full penalty of
the law been imposed in each case of conyic-
ton the fines would have aggregated million
dollars more.
Any one who says l ever failed to take official
cognizance OF any case of gambling which was
ever brought to my notice tells falsehood, for
l invariably have the district captain notified,
with instructions to take great care in collect
ing evidence, so as TO insure conviction if Dos
sible. Other kinds of crime have been as care
fully treated.
Ii these people who want to investigate the
city departments are so sure that gambling
goes on unchecked why don't they tell US where
the games are running and see whether we
suppress them or not. And, by the way,
people who have beams in their eyes should

THE GRAND JURY READY.
BUT THE ACcUsERs SHY AT THE
OATH.

John Mccarthy, the wholesale coffee, tea
and spice dealer, chairman of the police
committee of the Grand Jury, says that the
people making the charges of corruption
fail to reiterate them when put under oath.
He said:
The Grand Jury is ready and willing to go
into every case it can discover or which is
brought before it. The trouble we have found
is that those who make statements on the
streets and from platforms fail to substantiate
them when brought before the Grand Jury.
We have summoned all those we have heard
make charges against the police but so far
nothing whatever has been proved regarding
police corruption.
We only wish those who pretend to have
evidence OF rottenness in the department would
come forward with the proof or shut up. We
have looked into police matters we'll as we
could. We have found some minor things
which did not suit us, and Chief Crowley made
the slight necessary reforms Immediately or
promised to do so as soon as possible. He acted
promptly on our recommendations, and Of
fered every facility TO aid us in investigating
his department.
We have made more progress with the cleo
ton frauds. The indictments against Lee
Houston, Cusick, Sutton, Cough, Cohen and
Steinberg show some of the progress we have
made in the two months we have been at work
We are still working on that line, trying to
separate the innocent from the guilty. 1t is a
hard thing TO ascertain just who committed
the frauds, and il would be great injustice to
indict an innocent man. We are by no means
through with this line of investigation; in
fact, we have hardly started.
So far as the dives are concerned what little
we could learn about them showed that they
are now kept as orderly as could be expected
under the circumstances. There is no fund
for the Grand Jury to devote 10 sending men

battle-ships and twelve torpedo-boats.
Chairman of SUBJ Committee Talbert cal
culates that 125 Democrats will SO vote.
Amos Cummings, ex-chairman of the
Naval Committee, who is here from New
York, conservatively estimates that only
ninety-six Democratic members will sup
port the proposition, but even this many,
with almost solid Republican vote, will
be sufficient.
The Idaho and Montana mineral lands
bill is in conference. Mr.. Caminetti is a
member of the conference committee and
is endeavoring to amend it so that the rail
road selections in California will be sus-
pended until these lands are classified
The committee is indisposed to make this
amendment.
Senator Perkins succeeded in securing a
favorable report on the Oakland postoffice
bill to-day. Though the Senate Building
and Grounds Committee has not been in
session, he secured this action by seeing
each member in person and getting their
Endorsement. He believes he will pass the
bill in the Senate this Congress and that
