SAN JOSE, Aug 9.-Another political
scandal has forced it's murky way
through the crust in which it was en-
cased to demonstrate again the griplike
hold Colonel Dan Burns and Governor
Gage have placed upon State institutions.
This time il is the Agnews Insane Asylum
which has been used to feed the lnSatld-
ble'lust of these heavy handed politicians
in their desire TO pay political debts with
promises of easy positions that nave Sood
salaries attached. The entire invesuga-
ton that has been conducted by the
Board of Managers al Agnews and the
State Lunacy Commission, although nee
essary and timely was really inspired by
Gage and Burns for the express purpose
of placing constituencies politicians in
the positions which they would force to
be vacated.
Dr. G. D. Marvin of Humboldt County
figures in the plot. When the paItle over
the election of a Senator ragged hotly at
Sacramento early this year Or. MARVIN
held out until the last day OF the term
and was then whipped into line by the
Burns influence. He voted for the Me&l-
can aspirant just in time TO make himseif
one of the hungry horde that was to re-
ceive the emoluments of its serVile oi1lceS
when the distribution of favors should be
in order. Like all the other converts, DR..
Marvin voted for Burns merely because
he believed in the depths OF MS con
science that the cOlonel was Inc man 4Ol
the place The real inducement, now
ever, was a promise of the medical direc3
torship of AgneWs Insane Asylum ana
for this Dr. Marvin cast his ballot the
last day of the term.
The entire proceedings during the in
vestgarion at Agnews point to the lnllu-
ence of the Governor and the man back
of him BY a fortuitous circumstance. the
outbreaking of a scandal which demanded
the immediate consideration OF the pow
ers. the opportunity was given the Coy e,y
ernor to make strong acclaim against the
evils and immortality existing WITHIN the
asylum walls. His plans to reward Dr;
Marvin for the vote that didn't send
Colonel Dan to Washington were thus
fortified by the gloss of purity and right
eouS conduct.
Discomfort. intestinal strife, professional
ieaIousies and. political disquietudes are
twisting the office desks in Agnews5 at the
present time 1t is asserted on the best
authority that twenty-five heads are going
to fall into the basket before many
