AN ATTORNEYS DISGRACE
George Hayford Is Held to An.
Swer for Felony Embez-
Element.

George Haytord, an attorney, was yes
terday held to answer before the Superior
Court by Judge Conlan on the charge of
felony EN- bezzlement, and his bonds were
fixed at $4,000.
Hayford was arrested about two weeks
ago on complaint of Mrs. Susan Cunning
ham, poor widow, who lives on Bryant
street. He made representations to Judge
Daingerfeld, who released him on his
own recognizance. Since then several
continuances were granted, but the case
came up for examination yesterday.
The evidence for the prosecution
showed that Mrs. Cunningham owned a
lot on Gilbert street. which was mort
gagged to Michael Curran. The mortgage
became overdue, and Attorneys Curran
and Franc9ur were about TO institute
foreclosure proceedings, when, through
Attorney Hayford, who had been EN-
ployed by Mrs. Cunningham, a compro-
mise was effected by which she executed
to the mortgagor a deed to the property
IN consideration of the sum OF $125.
Hayford on August % received from
Curran and Francoeur the SIPS and $40 as
his fee, and gave them a receipt for the
$lS5. Mrs. Cunni CHAM made repeated
demands for the money, but only received
So, and finally, she said, Hayford adj
United that the balance had passed out of
his hands. He had deposited the money
to his personal account, ana the bank, he
said, had taken possession of it to satisfy
a note which he had Endorsed.
After the evidence for the prosecution
was in Hayford asked for a continuance
till Thursday to enable him to subpoena
his witnesses. The Judge replied that he
had had two weeks already to procure his
witnesses, and he should have had them
present. He refused to grant continu-
ance.
Hayford offered no defense, ana the
Judge in holding him to answer talked to
him plainly but forcibly. He told him
there was no possible excuse for his con-
duct, and the Bar Association should take
up his case and purge his name from the
roll of membership, as well as others who
disgraced the profession. He felt sorry
that 1t should devolve upon him to hold
member of the bar to answer to charge
OF felony, but he had to do his duty.
HaYtord was unable to procure bonds
and was sent to the County Jail.

The Wanton Destruction That
Professor Brewer Has Seen
in Some Places.

Professor William H Brewer, for whom
Mount Brewer was named, and who ex-
plored many of the high mountains of
California while in charge of division of

been professor of agriculture at Yale. He
feels that he can take no more time to ex-
smine into the forests of the West and
Paclhc Coast as a member OF the United
States Forestry Commission
Yesterday he visited the site of Golden
Gate Park. 1t was the first time he had
been there IN thirty-two years. There was
no PARK then, only waste of shifting
sand. 1t was so unpromising a site and
so remote from the then City that he rec
commended the university be NOT estab-
llshed there. There were no roads then,
no means OF communication. The sand
dunes were windswept and desolate be-
yond words. All this the professor told at
the Paiace last evening. But when he
went there yesterday he was surprised be-
yond measure at the beauty of the place.

for the state in preference to the Mont
gomery Advertiser, still he had nothing
to do with awarding the contract.
The contract for publishing the gem
eral laws was made before Governor
Johnston's Inauguration by board of
several state officers, with Governor
Oates as chairman, and was let in the
following manner, as explained by the
Montgomery Advertiser:
The law regulates how the contract
shall be awarded, viz, to the lowest bid
der, circulation considered. The Adver-
tiser bid rs cents per square for the two
insertions, one in daily and one in a
weekly issue. The State Herald bid SO
cents. The Advertisers cashier, in the
absence of its manager from the stat tie,
certified to it's circulation and the State
Herald's pressman to its figures. The
low price mainly secured the award, for
the members of the board probably did
not attach much weight to the bigger
claim of circulation.
From this 1t appears that the State Her.
aid not only underbid the Advertiser, but
made showing of larger subscription
than the Advertiser now enjoys.-Annis-

HOW TO COLLECT POLL TAX.

Troy Messenger.
The tax collector suggests that if the
poll tax for each precinct or twonship
was removed from the offices of the tax
assessor and collector and placed in the
hands of competent man, to be elected
by the school turstees in the different
school districts, that the school revenues
could be increased to some extent. If
the present legislature should amend the
law eliminating entirely all poll taxes
from the general fund, except where the
tax payer had realty to secure the pay
ment of the poll tax, and place the poll
taxes with the school trustees, they to
appoint or elect an assessor, whose duty
it should be to assess and collect all poll
tax due his particular township, there
would be very few escapes because the
assessor would know every man in his
township liable to pay poll tax and could
watch after them. The assessor and col
lector should have the power to make
levies, etc., and should be paid for his
services as the assessor is now paid and
have the same powers. The township as
SCISSOR should make his reports to the
county superintendent of education and
he to the state superintendent or the aud
itor This would simplify the system to
a considerable extent and we believe It
would prove beneficial to the school fund.

We hear a great deal about
purifying the blood. The
way to purify it is to enrich
it. Blood is not a simple
fluid like water. 1t is made
up of minute bodies and
when these are deficient, the
blood lacks the life-giving
principle. SCOTS Emulsion is
not a mere blood purifier. 1t
actually increases the number
of the red corpuscles in the
blood and changes unhealthy
action into health.
If you want to learn more
of it we have a book, which
tells the story in simple words.
