to the prominence of the man sus-
pected. The authorities refuse point
blank to give out any names. Just

Justice Conedon Resigns
Roscoe P. Congdon rendered his res
ignation of the Office of justice of the
peace to the board of supervisors to-
day. 1t was not Immediately accepted
action upon it being postponed for one
week, according to a rule of the board.
1t has been understood for some time
that Justice Congdon was likely to take
this action because of the growth of his
law practice and the many petty an
noyanees of the position. 1t was ru-
mored at the time the city council re-
fused to allow the Justices to hold court
in the city hall that both Justices Cong
don and Klamroth would resign. JUS
tice Klamroth denied this afternoon
that he would resign. at least for the
present. Attorney Albert S. Van Etten,
whose offices adjoin those of Justice
Congdon, will try to land the position
made vacant by the resignation, as will
the present police justice, Attorney j..
Perry Wood. 1t is supposed that the
present city administration will sup
port the last named candidate owing
to the fact that Justice Wood holds his
present office by the appointment of
Mayor Waterhouse. Both men will
have strong backing for the position.
