GANG THAT RULES THE CITY
HAS TURNED UGLY.
Superior Judge Lorigan Will Not Talk at
All Upon the Grave Charges That Have
Been Made Against Him by Mem
bers Of the Grand Jury.

themselves as being opposed to the ele-
ments that now control the municipality
of San Jose and the county of Santa
Clara. They say it would be certain ruin
to their business interests. Crossing the
bosses had been tried before by individu-
ais who thought they were powerful! and
wealthy enough to withstand the insidi-
Gus influences and forces of the gang"
but i'll each case the brave spirit has been
sent into the street or driven from town.
This last is the baletul boast of the hench-
men of the boss-in- chief, James w. Rea,
or, as be is better known IN his habitat
Jim Rea.
When it came to the knowledge of the
gang that the Grand Jury proceedings
were to be published in THE CALL, Johnnie
Mckenzie, one of the States Game War
dens, whose most onerous duty is to
draw his salary, approached one of the
representatives. of The CALL and intimated
broadly that a mistake would be made if
Judge Lorigans connection with the
quas hing OF the indictment found against
Judge Dwyer was published.

OF the men accused of corruption had no
word of com plant to utter as to the facts
set forth. Lorigan's position excited
nearly as much sympathy as indignation,
but the hiah her sense of morality and JUS

hazards the purity OF the bench must be
protected.

SAN JOSE, Nov. 1S.-On every street
corner downtown, in every place where
men congregate, in the public offices, in
places of business and in the privacy of
their homes the people of San Jose to-day
discussed the story of the sensational pro-
ceedings that have characterized the ses-
sions OF the Grand Jury relative to charges
against the three Justices of the Peace of
Santa Clara County and the part played
by Judge Lorigan.
1t was apparently new sensation TO the
local residents to see news of this char
acter told on the basis of cold facts, with
out coloring ana without favor or fear.
The expressions of the best class of peo-
pie, represented by bankers, merchants
and men of means and sanding in the
com munity, were ali of one tenor, and that
favorable to The CALL. 1t is admitted in
sorrow, and also somewhat In trembling,
that San Jose occupies a unique and un-
envia bic position.
Its most substantial citizens acknow-
edge that it is probably the most rlng-
ridden, boss-ridden, boodler-infe ted ciy
of its size in the United States. Spas
m odic and unsystematic attempts have
gang" as il is termed in the local idiom,
but without even a show of success. The
charges have usually been OF the kind
known as 'glittering generalitIes." No
specific offenses were brought to light and
no particular offenders were brought TO
book.
1t is the knowledge that these condi-
tions have and do initiate against the
best interests of the Garden City that as
caused the citizens who are striving for
good government to give hearty welcome
to the entrance of The CALL into the tight
TO free San Jose from the th-all of the
bosses and corrupiionists. To-day there
are men OF wealth and position, and pre-
sumably of influence here, who, while
more than willing 10 see matters changed,

MARSHFIELD, Or, Nov. 1S.-News
has reached here that the steamer
TrUckee, bound from Tillamook 10 San
Francisco, lum ber laden, stranded this
morning on the North Spit of the Umpqus
River
G. w. Freeman, superintendent of the
passenger on the Stage down the beach
from the Umpqua this afternoon, says
that about 5 o'cloct this mcrning the
keeper of the Umpq7a light heard dis
tress whistle, but on account of darkness
was unable to distinguish anything. At
daylight the Truckee was in sight,
headed south, evidently disabled.
1t was blowing hard from the southwest
and the Umpqua bar was breaking GEAR
across and was nothing but white strip.
A 7 o'clock the a2tain hoisted his fl &
and headed for the bar. The steamer
passed through the olter line of breakers
successfully. Ihe captain, trying to hold
her in the channel, hoisted his pennant,
but the wind was toe strong and it was
carried way. The square sail was also
hoisted and was Immediately carried
over board, throwing The vessel on the ex-
IRENE emu OF Lu6 NOIIH Opll. All LnlS
time the crew was throwing cargo over
board.
The Umpqua liie-saving crew was
promptly on hand and made three unsuc-
cessful attempts to reach the steamer
When Mr.. Freeman left the scene at
1920 there had been no communication
with the Truckee, and she was apparently
resting easy, with her head inshore and
her stern 10 the wind. The sea was very
rough and was breaking all around the
steamer, but did not appear to be break

The Truckee went on at high tide this
morning, but as the evening tides are the
heaviest, it may be possible that if she
did not go to pieces to-day, after dis

will be no more information from there

It is easy to make money when

conservative administration. The
country will be governed III fair
ness 10 the interests of business
men. The tariff question is set
tied. The political situation is
such that nothing adverse can be
done with the currency question

finished. Leading papers i'll Eu-

their crops. The United States IS
the only country in a position to
furnish necessary supplies Ex-
change has dropped sharply. Sc

declined this week from one TO

In the great period Of business
revival from 1879 to 1881, when
money was Gearer. securities sold
much higher. Strong people may
combine to sell the market down
to accumulate cheap stocks, but
the future is bright with promise,

ties are a purchase. There rarely
