Official Indifferent to Mayors
Threat to Force Him to
Make the Payments Good

Auditor Baehr yesterday audited the
demands of the Grand Jury for the
month of April and they were cashed
in accordance with court orders. The
demands were paid despite the protest
of the Mayor, who threatened two
months ago to remove Auditor Baehr
for auditing what the Mayor considers
to be Illegal. The Mayor afterward
threatened to bring suit against Baehr
to compel him to return the amounts
paid out on the demands, but his Honor
has since failed to carry out his threat.
There now remains but 1887 in the reg
ular appropriation of $1,000 for Grand
Jury expenses. Some $4,000 has been ex-
pended by the inquisitorial body since
it was impaneled four months ago. The
April demands aggregated $723, as fol-

DE HAVEN ICRITICIZES
U. S. DISTRICT ATTORNEY
Says Pleadings in Case Against Will
liam H. Boren Were Bad as
Could Possibly Be.

Judge de Haven of the United
States District Court made some caus-
tic remarks yesterday morning after
he had sentenced William H. Boren to
two years Imprisonment at hard labor
in the State penitentiary at San Quen-
tin and to a fine Of 800. Boren had
been convicted of subornation OF
perjury in connection with timber land
entries in Shasta County. Judge de
Haven remarked that the pleader"
(meaning the United States District
Attorneys office) seemed to have tried
in the indictment to get as far away
from the law as he could without hav-
ing the pleadings thrown out of court.
In fact, the court added, the court
would have been just as well satisfied
had the jury returned a verdict of
acquittal 1t was with reluctance that
it denied a motion in arrest of judg-
ment.
United States District Attorney Dew
lin appeared to enjoy the Judges re-
marks.
Its not my bird" said Mr.. Devlin
afterward. That case and the plead
ings are a legacy from my prede-
cessor.'
The District Attorney is handi-
capped by the fact that successor to
Congressman Duncan e. McKinlay has
not yet been appointed and all the
work of the Office Is thrown upon the
two assistants remaining.
