DID NOT |ND|CT WILSON,
Charge Of ENLIGHTENMENT Against
the Reinsurance Com
missioner.
The Grand Jury Ignored the Accusa-
ton - Notaries Public
Heard.

The Grand Jury had some notable wit
nesses yesterday. Major w. w. Douglass.
chief deputy in the Office of the State Con-
troller, was there; ]. E. Farnham, man
ager of the Pacific Bank, was on time.
His chief bookkeeper came along, and
with them were books of the bank, includ-
ing the individual ledger, the signature
book, and the ledger from Q to q. District
Attorney Barnes had a communication
from Attorney General Fitzgerald to SUBJ
NIT to the Grand Jury.
Inquiry disclosed the fact that proceed
ings hau been instituted, presumably at
the instance of the Attorney General, to
indict ex-Insuranee Commissioner J. n. e.
Wilson for EN- bezzlement.
When Mr.. Wilson was in the heyday of
his political prosperity the Pacific Bank
was enjoying widespread confidence in
financial circles. When Commissioner Will
son collected more money from the insur-
ance companies than he thought it pru-
dent to keep in his Office safe over night he
deposited 1t in the Pacific Bank. Therein
he made mistake, for the money should
have been sent to Sacramento. AS it hap
pened, all of the money except $4,000 got to
the proper depository at Sacramento. Will
son put the $1,000 in the bank and shared the
fate of other depostors when that institu-
ton collapsed. His accounts as Insurance
Commissioner, therefore, do not balance.
The State sued him and got judgment for
$4,000. This Judgment is on appeal.
The first witness heard yesterday was
Chief Deputy Douglass and the next Mana
ger Farnham. The books were not in
spected. Even the ledger from Q to q,
which embraces w, was not opened.
The jury after hearing all the testimony
in the case, and considering that the State
had obtained judgment against Wilson,
came to the conclusion that an indictment
for embezzlemept should not be found.
Notaries Public George Knox, Daniel
Hanlon and ii. Lask were witnesses con-
corning Acknowledgements at the County
Clerks Office. The testimony of each.was
brief.
Expert Atkinson of the Grand Jury has
been investigating the records in the
offices of the County Clerk and Auditor
since last Monday. The secretary OF the
jury said that no report had yet been
made. The expert has been directed to
make thorough examination.

Glddness Comes

MIith better understanding of the
w transient nature of the many phys-
ical ills which vanish before proper eff
forts gentle eforts-pleasant efforts
rightly directed. There is comfort in
the knowledge that SO many forms of
sickness are not due to any actual dis
ease, but simply to constipated condi-
ton of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrup of Figs, prompt
ly removes. That is why it is the only
remedy with millions of families, and is
everywhere esteemed so highly by all
who value good health. Its beneficial
effects are due to the fact, that it is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness, without facilitating the
organs on which it acts. tits therefore
all important, in order to get its bene-
fetal effects, to note when you pur-
chase, thatyo have the genuine article,
which is manufactured by the California
Fig Syrup Co. only, and sold by all rep
utable druggists.
If in the enjoyment of good health,
and the system is regular, then laxa-
tlves or other remedies are not needed.
Ii afflicted with any actual disease, one
may be commended to the most skillful
physicians, but if in need of laxative,
then one should have the best, and with
the well-informed everywhere, Syrup of
Figs stands highest and is most largely
used and gives most general satisfaction.

ARGUMENT ON THE EXISTING Law.
Representing the people of California who will
have to pay the debts wherewith these roads are
left burdened, we confidently invoke the personal
attention to the of every public man to whom
this memorial is sent For several important con-
dressed TO Congress ny the Committee of Fifty APP
pointed by the monster meeting held at Metropoli-
of which copy is herewith presented. Additional
considerations now urged refer mainly TO the Gen.
trail Pacific road with which more familiar,
but we believe that most OF them will be found
applicable To the case of the Union Pacific al
though upon facts differing more or less in detail.
The act OF Congress of March 3, 1887 (Statutes at
Large, vol. a. page 4SS), provides that whenever,
in the opinion of the President, 1t shall be deemed
necessary for the protection of the interests and
the preservation of the security OF the United
States in respect TO its lien on the Pacific roads
the Secretary of the Treasury and the Attorney
take the steps prescribed in the fourth section of
said ACT and among others steps to foreclose any
mortgages or liens of the United States on any
railroad property"
AS the Acknowledgement would have authority
ceeapg or M o. ms once TO take
United States, this enactment must be under stood
as special direction to the President to determine
personally the time to act in the case of these rail-
road debts well expression of the judg-
ment of Congress that foreclosure OF the liens is
the proper course, whenever the executive shall
decide that the time for action has come. AS that
Congress gave much attention 10 this whole sub
legislation should command corresponding respect.
THE TIME FOR ACTION COME.
No public interests demand any further Iegsla-
ton now, nor has any been urged by the execu-
tive except a law TO simplify and expedite the
necessary legal proceedings by comforting COM
plete jurisdiction over the whole on the
United States courts Of the District of Columbia
The time for action has evidently come, for the
debt is part due and the security is inadequate;
and it does not admit Of doubt that foreclosure is
the only proper and busness-like course to pursue
for, independently of all moral and political OBJ
Iections TO condoning such gross ofenses as those
here involved, there Is another mortgage on the

REPUBLICAN COMMITTEE.

A Brief Session-Member Awaiting n
Decision of the Supreme Court.
A regular monthly meeting of the Re.

evening at Scottish Hall, Ill Larkin street.
The chairman, Charles w. Manwaringl
presided.
G. @. Morris, from the special committee
on club organization, reported progress,
In regard to the organization of clubs,
Mr.. Manwaring suggested that the best
plan to pursue was to await the decision of
the Supreme Court prescribing the man
ner in which delegates to the convention
shall be elected. Until that decision is
submitted there is nothing much to do.
The organization of Republican clubs and
the enrolment of Republicans speaks well
for the party, and the good work should
go on. There is no great hurry in form
ing official clubs, and we might as well
suspend judgment in this respect until we
know under what method we should pro-
ceed, said Mr. Manwaring.
Under the heading of unfinished busi-
ness, the secretary, John jackson, read a
communication from j. A. Whiteside.

Council, announcing that subcommittee
OF that council had been appointed, to
confer with the Republican County Com
mittee.
Mr.. Prendergrast moved reference of

He Claims That No Architects

Regents Discussed.

Willis Polk. the architect, and a promi-
nent member of the Arts and Crafts Asso.
citation, is of the opinion that the regents
OF the University of California made a
mistake when, in looking for designs for
the affiliated colleges, they instigated an
architectural competition.
'The regents of the University of Cali
fornia are reaping the whirlwind of the
wind they sowed," said Mr.. Polk yester-
day. In preparing the sem blance of an
architectural competition as a method of
procuring designs for the buildings to be
erected for the affiliated colleges-they
sowed.
"Out of the 200 or more architects whose
names appear in the city directory, but
five responded to the alluring invitation
they reaped.
'Out OF these five not single one occu-
pies position of prominence in his pro-
fession. Among the more reputable ones
there were few bold enough 70 point out
the fallacy cf the programme mapped out
by the regents, one at least being intrepid
enough to suggest the proper course to be
pursued.

Ignore or evade these well-intentioned
warnings. In the extremity of their EN-
Darrassment they have now called into
consultation three architects to act as pro-
fessional advisers.
This last act should have been the first
one to be taken. 1t is an inscrutable fact
tnat, with but three exceptions, none of
