Y0L0 c0URTYS GRAND JURY.
Two Officials Are hoIcted and the
Board OF Supervisors Severely
CeDeUred

WOODLAND. CAL, Feb. 20. The
Grand Jury, which has been in session
for several weeks, reported before Judge
Gaddis this morning and returned an in
dictment against l. n. Gill, Justice of the
Peace of Washington Township, for
drunkenness, and Z. L. Kripp, of the
same place, for presenting a fraudulent
claim againt the county. B nch warrants
were issued for their arrest and placed in
the hands of the Sheriff for service. The
indictments created a sensation, as both
of the accused men are well known and
very prominent in politics. Judge Gill is
accused of presiding in court while in
toxicated, and Kripp is charged with
having collected money from the county
for more work than he performed on
roads
The jury in its report speaks of the
bridge between Sacramento and Yolo
counties IN the following language:
In the matter of the Sacramento River rail-
road bridge. we sustain the action of the Dis
trict Attorney in refusing to permit the pay
ment OF the second InStallment on contract
to the railroad company. We are satisfied
that the company made gross misrepresenta-
tons TO our Board OF Superv isors. We, how
ever, wish TO emphasize the condemnation by
former Grand Juries of the action OF the
Supervisors in this matter. They made Careful
provision to exempt themselves from personal
liability, and left the interests of the county
to the tender mercies OF the railroad COM
pany.
We denounce as ungentlemanIy. undignified
ana brutal the attack upon our District Attor-
ney by the railroad company through its
agent, J. NJ. Garoutte. That agent endeavored
to lntimidate or bride our officer with the
statement that. unless he permitted the paw
ment OF the $4,000 in dispute, should he ever
again appear as a candidate for office he would
surely be defeated. Sacramento County has
slmllar case aud it refused TO make payments
Whether Mr.. Hopkins is sble to main
tain in court the stand he has taken we sus-
tain him and cali on our people 10 do the
same In order that the dignity OF our county
be maintained.
The report censures the Board of Super
vlsors for reckless extravaganza and mis-
management OF public affairs. The Coro-
ner is criticized for employing a Clerk to
report inquests and paving him $40 per
day, instead OF EN- pioying a stenographer.
Fees CHARGED by Justices and Con sta bles
IN vagrancy cases receive exhaustive treat
ment at the hands OF the jury, and its ex-
pert's books show that these Off cials have
received enormous sums of money as fees
III these cases. The Grand Jurors believe
that the evil should be remedied Affairs
OF other county officials are found to be in
a satisfactory condition.

ReuUTreG

NEW YORK, N. Y, Feb. 21-A Herald
special from Jacksonville, Fla, saws:
Consul-GeneraI Lee has requested in urg-
ent terms that the Government send war
ships to Cuba. This is the information
that reached here last night from a high
authority in Havana.
The request is made, it is stated. because
of the attitude of the Spanish authorities
in Cuba N regard to the outrages on
American citizenship in the murder of
Dir. Ricardo Ruiz in the prison at Guiana
bacoa.
Details of the incident which followed
the death of Ruiz are unknown, but
special dispatches from Havana have al
ready stated that Consul General Lee
would proceed at once to Guanabacco to
investigate the death of Ruiz. It has
been declared that the hapless American
was done to death at the order of the
Commandante at Guanabacoa, General
Fondeviella.
1t Is indicated that something unusuaI
had happened in Havana from the fact
that thu Oivette, the steamer which

the San Joaquin Valley Press
Essocjnfjo1

FRESNO, CAL, Feb. 20.-The news
paper editors of the San Joaquin Valley
met in this city to-day and organized a
Valley Press Association. Though talked
of for number of years the move did not
assume definite shape until few W eeks

with enthusiasm. The officers elected
were: President, c. D. Radcliffe of the
MERGED Sun; vice-president, John W.
Short of the Fresno Republican,; secre-
tary, W. w. Barnes of the Hanford Demo-
Graf.
A set OF bylaws was adopted and sew
eral discussions concerning the bjects of
the association were held. The me M ber-
ship numbers twenty, representing nearly
all the newspapers in the valley.
The purposes of The association, as out
lined in the bylaws. are to advance the
interests of the newspaper business COM
mercially and to work for the upbui lding
of the San Joaquin Valley.
Special efforts will be made to secure a
uniformity of rates for legal advertising,
which at the present time are in very IN
satisfactory shape.
The association must meet at least once
a year on the third Saturday OF Febru-
airy. The next meeting will be held at
Vlsalia.
The visiting editors will be taken for a
drive through the vineyards tom orrow.

The right of free speech is not in the

Idle COnvicts Going Insane,

The law recently enacted in New York
practically abo!ishing the employment of
the convicts is already having bad effects
1t was feared at the time the rule went
Into force that the idleness compelled by
the statute would work harmfuliy among
the prisoners, and at the outset there were
signs of serious disturbances. The men be-
came accustomed gradually to the new
conditions, however. and the main danger
of outbreaks against prison discipline
passed over. But the lack of employment
is now working its results in a different
direction. Seven men in the Kings County
Penitentiary have just been adjudged in
sane, as a direct consequence of the lack
OF occupation. The men suffer from various
decisions. and are violent at times. One of
these unfortunates believes that ne is to be
electroCuted, and begs constantly for a
respite. In addition to these cases there
have been several attempts at suicide dur
ing the past few months. and the keepers
have had to maintain the closest watch
ever known in the history of the prisons in
the state to prevent such troubles. There
is no guarantee that these seven cases OF
insanity will not be followed by many
others, and If the matter continues the
state will soon have a most serious prob
lem on its hands. Under the law a small
amount of work around the prison can be
done by the inmates. bat in the Kings
County institution less than three hundred
of the seven hundred prisoners can be kept
occupied at one time. and in the nature
of the work some of the men have no op-
portunities to labor The prisoners con-
stantly beg for employment to relieve the
teGium of their confinement
