Req picked him up and ran him for School Trustee in the Fourth Ward, and since then the gang and the gang organ have been back of him in his culpable acts. One of Gra hams first moves after getting into office was to install his wife. Mrs. Ella Graham, as principal of the Emma Marwedel Kindergarten at a salary of s75 month. The following additional list of Graham's relatives in the School Department will show how the Req gang distributes patronage:

LONDON, July N.-The public exami- nation in the bankruptcy court. to-day into the affairs of Ernest Terrah Hooley, the company promoter, for whose prop erty, on his own application, a receiver was appointed on July 2S, attracted big crowd The debtor attributed his failure chiefly to his partner, a man named Fucker he crippling the business by drawing out $500, 900 within two months.
 In detailing the Notation of the Dunlop Tire Company, MT. Hooley said the names on the directorate cost between ESQ ,000 and 910O 900, including those of Lord Al bemarle, f12,50O, and Earl Delawarr. G25 900.
 Hooley also said he lost E62,000 on press calls" these being shares intended for people connected with newspapers, whose names have not been divulged. though it is expected they will be made public later.
 ley detailed the payments he made to the newspapers, including, as alleged, the Pall Mall Gazette, the Financial Post and a number of smaller papers, When MT. Hooley was questioned about G100 900 paid to Harry Marks, editor of the Fi- nancial News, he denied that 1t was con- nected with the insertion of ''puffs' In the paper named.
 As a matter of fact, the supposed profit of the Notation of the Dunlop Tire Con- pany, amounting to G1,7O0,000, had been ''sweated" away to under &200,000
 MT. Hooley further asserted that he paid many thousands of pounds for intro- auctions to Lords Ashburton, Warwick Norbury and others, and he testified that the Earl of Winchelsea received S10 ,0OO for acting as chairman of one of the bi- cycle tube manufacturing concerns.

DECISION OF A FRESNO JUDGE
LARGE WEST SIDE HOLDINGS
 INVOLVED.
Railroad Company Fails to Dust Ranchers From Lands for Which They Had Received
 Patents.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

FRESNO, July 27.-Judge Risley ren- dered an important decision to-day in a number of railroad suits. The suits were instituted by the Southern Pacific Com pany against Isaac T. Bell and a large number of others who had settled on land on the west side and who were is- sued patents by the Government. Just before the five years during which they would have had peaceable and undis- puted possession would have expired the railroad company began actions to con- test their right to the land and to eject them therefrom If possible.
 The suits came up before Judge Ris- ley to-day on demurrers interposed by the defendants and the court sustained the demurrers. This practically is vic tory for the defendants, as the points raised by the demurrers went squarely to the merits of the suits.
 The history of the cases Is an interest ing one. In 1866 the Government deeded to the railroad companies every odd quarter-section of land along the route of the road, extending a distance of twenty miles on either side. The condition to the grant was that the railroad company should have every other section which was not occupied at the tune.
 Some of the land which would fall to the railroad company had been settled, and what was known as an indemnity grant was afterward made, giving the company an additional strip of land ten miles wide, in which the company might sections in the previous grant.
 Subsequently, however, the indemnity grant was rescinded After the indem- nifty grant in this particular case was withdrawn by the Government the defen- dants In the present litigation settled upon 1t, compiled with all the provisions of the law appertaining to filing upon land, and patents were issued to them by the United States Government. The rail- road company now sues under the indem- nifty, claiming that the cancellation of the indemnity grant was unconstitutional.

dit1onal witnesses. To-day Charles L. Williams submitted the names of some important witnesses to Chairman Cur now with the request that he have them subpenaed but Curnow declared that Williams would have to look after the attendance of any witnesses he wanted.
 What Gould cannot get by direct means he manages to get by indirect ones. One of the plums of the institu- tion Is the position of matron. Gould has had, according to general report and by the admission of some of the members of the board, Miss Louise slated for this position. She stands fourth on the list of those who took the civil service examination for the posi- tion of matron, but that is apparently an insignificant fact with Gould. No appointment has yet been made to fill the vacancy created by the forced resignation of Miss Royse, but Miss place temporarily under the instruc- tions of Gould.
 It was not generally known until to- day that this temporary appointment carries with it not only the honors and responsibilities of the position, but the salary also. This is, however, a fact, and Miss Bambauer has been draw ing the salary of matron ever since her appointment. Under these circum- stances 1t Is not probable that any haste will be made to have the board make a regular appointment to the position, and thus the issue of the civil service examination will be evaded
 Tomorrow will probably see the con- clusion of the examination of members of the Agnews board of managers be- fore the State Commission in Lunacy The testimony given by them before the commission will then be made public, according to the statement of Governor Budd. It is believed that the records will contain much of an interesting, If not sensational, nature.

AGNEWS INQUIRY
 CAUSES HALE AND
 GOULD TO SQUIRM
Unpleasant Revelations Made to the State Commission in
 LuDdcy.

SAN JOSE, July 27-Neither Czar Gould nor Director Hale are happy over what was developed before the State Commission in Lunacy yesterday In some mysterious way the dictator of the Agnews State Hospital learned that Director White had told the com mission some unpleasant truths about how Gould managed, by broken prom ises, unholy alliances with persons of antagonistic political faith and treach- cry to his own party, to obtain more than his proportion of the patronage of the institution.
 Director Hale is uncomfortable over the knowledge that Director Upham stated before the commission that the asylum was run by a ring" and that Hale was member of 1t. Hale does not like the appellation ''ringster" !" Neither does he take kindly to the Governors well-intended and jocular remarks made before an amused audi ence at the asylum yesterday. Said the Governor:
 Your turn will come soon, old smoothly. We will have you in and we will try to take some of that smooth ness out of you. Say, will wager that If Hale were to run for Governor and he were given six months time, he would have the vote of every man in the State.''
 It was learned to-day that within the past few weeks Gould obtained-or, rather, ordered-the appointment of two additional employees at the asylum, thus bearing out the claim that he has been consistently engaged In filling the institution with his proteges. The ap- pointees are Harry Conner of San Jose and MT. Biggy of San Francisco, a son of Senator Biggy.
 It is likely that the investigation of the charges against T. T. Tourtillot and Mrs. Madigan will be concluded to- morrow without the examination of ad-

The testimony is creating even more of a futter in the west end of London than in the city proper, The revelations con cerning such men as Earl Delawarr and the Earl of Albemarle have been received with astonishment Nu- merous instances were disclosed by MT Hooley in which a peer bearing a proud tltie would charge the promoter sum ranging from 95O0 to 92O00 for an intro- auction to another peer. Thus, MT Hoo ley said, Earl Delawarr received 420OO for an Introduction to Lord Gre vile. while Lord Deerhurst (who mar ried Miss Bonynge of San Francisco) was paid 92OOO for an introduction to Lord Ashburton.

Prospects for River and Harbor Im- provements - Vacancy That Is

WASHINGTON, July 27.-The reports of Colonel Suter, Major Heuer and Major Lewis on improvements of rivers and harbors in California have been received by the War Department. Surveys of the Sacramento and Feather rivers have been completed, but owing to the fact that the engineers and draftsmen engaged In the work had to be taken away on account or the present war, they are somewhat incomDlete. The board had six meetings only to consider matters submitted by the Commissioner of Public Works It is be- lieved by the board that the unexpended balance of S50,481, together with the $780, 0O0 will be sufficient to maintain fairly good navigation until June 30. 1900.
